peaceandguitars: Drugs in all forms will never make you a better composer, you just think it does, for a moment it opens your 3rd eye. It gives you the illusion you can, then you take more & more & more till all thats left is just the illusion & thats what you become after, an illusion of your own rambling mind, ie.. a nothing of what you dream about real life experience

In the words of Pink Floyds Wish You Were Here:

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Some think thats an anti war song

Peaceandguitars: Please dont become another statistic, you are way better than that....one thing i do know...any idiot can shoot up, snort, smoke, or drink him/herself to death

Take care of your mind/body & you wont have "serotonin deficiency" or worse look it up bro

js1200js1000....hey man...whaaaaddddd's up? I'm practicing my bollox off....getting ready for a hyper-change....thinking heavily of the ProTools Digi 002....to gain more control over my editing...

How is you be doin'?

slanshroom...good advise...good to see yuh...any news on yer nu muzik?

OllyNo1, ha, thanks for checking out my soundclick matey! And thanks for your kind remarks! I dunno, I've just been sort of busy trying to improve bit by bit....improve my playing, my writing, my recording technique, everything really. It never happens quickly though! hehe. Thanks again dude, I really appreciate you checkin out my stuff!

I was only just beginning to say, all the things that couldn't be said, then they come and take you away......I love you, I love you, I don't care who hears me, I know that it's uncool to sing it, it's just that, I'm tired of trying to find different ways to say it, and I love you, I love you, it's all that I'm feeling....just let it flow ~ Nuno Bettencourt, "Flow"

Here's a note to say I'm fine, but words escape between the lines, and tell the story, gone is glory, we have built our world on sand ~ Eric Johnson, "Once A Part Of Me"

Also, haha, thanks for the support! you remember I told you I met with a bunch of t2j-ers before the G3 show in Bournemouth? Olly was one of the crowd who I had the pleasure of meeting at said event....haven't seen him here since then so it's great to see a familiar old face return!

Notice how I'm avoiding your question on sharing my own lyrics?! haha, sorry but no, I'll get the songs recorded first and then put the lyrics up with the mp3's, otherwise it looses something!

Besides, I've only got one song actually finished, I've currently got 2 others that are half written (if that!). I hate writing lyrics, it's too difficult! :-D

OCPS: Aye man, i recorded all straight in. look up at the end of the page

Thanx Slansh

js1200js1000, aww dude, that put a real big smile on my face man! I'm really happy to help, and if me helping you has given you some more positive perspective then I'm thrilled!

I once worked for about 6 months in the Deisgn and Technology department of a local boarding school. I was just working as a general workshop assistant, helping kids cut wood and drill holes and al that stuff, but my supervisor was the technician and he is the most helpful, generous guy on the planet.

Working with him and seeing how happy he was to help people really inspired me and made me realise the importance of trying to be good to people who deserve it.

I dunno man, but it seems that giving you a little help with your guitar stuff has given you a similar sort of experience/insight/whatever, and I think that's really cool! So thanks, I'm honored!

Wish I was round the corner so I could listen over the whammy section of "Searching" for you. The main thing though is that you're happy with the way you're playing it....if it sounds recognisable that's great, and if it sounds cool while you're playing it that's the only other thing that matters!

As we're on the subject of working out other people's stuff - sometimes it's useful to just sit and listen to the section of the song you're working on....leave the guitar on it's stand and just listen closely to the notes and how they're being played and in what order!

Do The Stu - I saw that show in Portland. I'm not a big Lenny fan but was cool to see him perform. Seeing Aerosmith was an experience that makes one smile when he thinks about it. How was your show?

Got my tickets to see Joe in Denver yesterday!!!! That makes me smile too!

Rob310...the JS2 PRM has a phase switch....it really adds a glassier sound to the front pick-up if the coil tap is pulled ...I used that setting primarily on this tune...if you what to hear the effect it has....

Harvest Ice

js1200js1000.....life does have a habit of happening....lol

slanshroom...long term plans are wonderful things...pursuing them is even nicer....keep us in the loop on your progess with the studio

Satriella - lol, yes you are very right! I think nice was an understatement but i reckon 962 knows what i mean!

962 - well i'm impressed and quite surprised! I think last time i was around here you hadn't had anything recorded or very little so to see so much work on there is great! It does sound very professional as well - what you using for recording?

Rob310...yes, I called DiMarzio yesterday as a matter of fact...(looks Joe replaced one in is JS2 PRM bridge position in the vid), and DiMarzio say's they should be shipped to stores mid-March...Mo'Jo should be really nice...I'll start by trying 1 in my JS100 see how it changes things...
