Sounds like y have or had, nor sure which a great setup.Y cant really go wrong with mesa bro, they are such good sounding & well built amps, combined with Ibanez y got a killer combination.That’s what F Gambale was using to stunning effect before.

I used mainly marshall,Laney & Hiwatt amps years ago with marshall 4b 12s but now have relocated to Barca so I,m currently playing through a Peavey classic 50 combo, chances are in the not so distant future I,ll be getting my sweaty mits on a Cornford hellcat sometime next year, the tone out that amp could melt the pants off a nun, its just outrageous

One terrifying night Jimi Hendrix fell asleep next to his wife. Time went by as Jimi fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, Jimi woke up! He turned to his wife and said he had a dreadful NIGHTMARE. She asked him to explain. He said he climbed up on stage at Woodstock plugged in tuned up and began playing Purple Haze. When it came to the Star Spangled Banner, Jimi started to shake and tremble.....I sounded like Jeff Beck!!!!!!!

There is only one master of the lead guitar and his name is Jimi Hendrix. He may have passed away but people are still trying to catch him. You know what, no roach will ever sound like him, let alone SRV.

Just saw Jeff Beck 2 months ago. Impressive on guitar. Cant sing. Ugly. Looks twice his age. Kind of like Keith Richards. What kind of a dumbass climbs up a tree for a coconut? He still cant tour. Roach.........................

JOE .....I HAD AN AMAZING NIGHT LAST NIGHT...I WAS WATCHING LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THE SATCH TAPES....BOY IT WAS SO GREAT TO SEE YOU PLAY...I WAS TRYING TO IMAGINE WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE THERE...WONT HAVE TO IMAGINE MUCH LONGER....

Oh question for JOE or anyone who has seen Joe on this tour....does Dave do a solo bit like Stu on LISF?

Boogieman75 - Welcome to the board....I was trying to figure out what my favourite satch song was again last night as I was watching the DVDs....its just soooooo hard....coz there are so many great tunes....I guess ones that touch me would be...I believe, Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness, The Phone Call, Satch Boogie, Rubina and of course Always with me Always with you....but ask me again in a few weeks and it would probably all change coz I love em all!

Levis - Hey you...good to have another UKer!

Michelle - Yay a week at Disney....fab....we stayed just a few yards from there...you could see the fireworks every night...but we didn't actually go...we went to the other five....Seaworld was definately my favourite....I cried when I finally got to feed and see the dolphins!

Hugs Satriella xx

Hey all, just chillin here enjoying the evening posts! Whew, ha, my god. Growlza: what's up mang? Gotta say, you're right about Jimi, but I'll tell you a story here. I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn once. The time I saw him, he and Jeff Beck were playing together in Oakland. They had been trading headlines for a few days. I had gone to see Jeff Beck mainly as he is one of my favorites. What I saw in Stevie was unfucking believably breathtaking. Swear to God there is and was never anyone who could play Hendrix the way Stevie could. The set was just incredible, he played with a renewed vigor, as he had just kicked all his personal demons recently, liquor, drugs etc. He played behind his back, with his teeth, and with that mother fucker on the ground while he kicked it and manipulated it with a nudge from his hand every now and then. But it wasn't just noise, it was holding, and continually staying within a musical framework. I couldn't believe it. I had been stunned by my ignorance in not paying him much mind before that. He was a lot like Jimi in his life and love for the instrument, no one can take that away from him ever. Tragically, it was the last time he ever played, as he was killed in that helicopter crash days later. I was lucky to have seen him. I like the way Eric plays Jimi now, he's very good, but Stevie was the master, hands down.

Hi ;) Here is an update on the number of UK premium ticks still available...

MCHESTER - 3/NCASTLE - 8/GLGOW -3/BHAM -1/LONDON -SOLD OUT/BMOUTH -10/CARDIFF -3.

Clarky - Which e-mail address did you send it to? My RECOIL is sometme a bit gay and I can't open it, so your best bet is either nwmorgan@tiscali.co.uk or dontspillmybeer@hotmail.com if you actually want me to read it... lol. A big breakdown/analysis/critique of the songs would be wicked!

i had a thought recently...

canned pepsi is so much better than canned coke...

I had my fucking bag stolen whilst I was at work yesterday. It had my car and house ekys inside, so now I've had to change the all locks in my house. Don't now what I'm supposed to do abou the car though; can you change car locks?

If I find out who it was I'm gonna crack some skulls...

Matt King - Meh, it's all about Sprite anyway, dude!!! lol

Hi Joe

Your latest album Super Collosal is out of this world , there is not one song that I dislike.

Keep up the fantastic work. Is there any possiblity that you might come to South Africa in the future? I would love to see you live!!!!!!!!!

51 ways to save gas ~

1. Use car wisely It starts with paying attention to why, where and when you drive. Drive only when necessary.

2. Use shortest route Always use the shortest route, which can usually be determined in advance with online map services.

3. Multi-task errands Multi-task your errands and consolidate them into one trip.

4. Avoid rush hour traffic Avoid rush hour & other peak traffic periods whenever possible.

5. Plan ahead Speed wastes gas, plan ahead and you will still get there on time.

6. Shop before you drive Use the Internet, newspapers or phonebook to comparison shop before you drive to several stores.

7. Find delivery services Find companies willing to delivery what you need to your home. Consider dry cleaning delivery services, food and anything else that will bring what you need, without burning up your gas.

8. Grocery shop once/week Small trips to pick up a few things add up to a big waste in gas. Do grocery shopping once a week.

9. Let kids walk Let the kids walk. They are often close enough to school and friends. They may complain now but they'll thank you someday.

10. Walk or bike Walking or biking is also good for adults. It narrows the waistline and widens the wallet.

The way you maintain your car has a big impact on its gas performance.

11. Check for leaks Before you take your car out, check the driveway for gas tank leaks. Even little ones can waste plenty of fuel over time.

“Gasoline evaporates you might not see a big pool of it but if you see some discoloration in the concrete you might have some, and yes if you're leaking gas you're leaking pennies and maybe dollars and that something to be fixed,” Csaba Csere, Editor-in-Chief for Car and Driver Magazine

A lubricated car runs much more efficiently.

12. Check your oil And follow the carmakers' recommendations which you will find on your side door panel.

13. Energy-saving oil Look for oil labeled energy saving. With computer-diagnostics, modern cars don't lend themselves to do it yourself tune ups, but you can:

14. Change air filter Change your own air filter. Check it first, if the dust won't shake out cleanly, get a new one.

“If you don't have a good air filter it's going to result in terrible reductions in terms of mileage efficiency,” said Alan Steinberg, EPA Regional Administrator.

15. Seasonal tires Seasons change and so should your tires. Make sure you're using the proper tire for winter and summer.

16. Inflate tires properly And make sure your tires are inflated properly. It’s easy to do. Check the tire when its cold and compare that number to the recommended tire pressure. It will mean your car doesn't have to work as hard to get you where you want to go.

17. Junk out of trunk Get the junk out of the trunk. No sense in dragging around blizzard gear all summer and adding weight to your vehicle.

18. Fill up when cool Early morning or late evening. Cooler temperatures mean less vapor.

19. Get a light colored car From a lighter colored car.

“So (if) you buy a lighter colored car it's going be a little bit cooler, the air conditioner won't have to work as hard, and you'll save gasoline,” said Robert Sinclair of the American Automobile Association.

20. Park in the shade And regardless of the color, park in the shade.

“What happens is in a vehicle that's sitting out in the hot sun there is something called evaporative emissions,” said Sinclair. “You know, the fuel and the tank is expanding, it creates fumes that get out past the gas cap and go out into the atmosphere. That's why you see the bellows on gasoline pumps, for recovering that evaporative emissions.”

21. Don't top off gas Don't top off your gas - it frequently winds up spilled on the road.

22. Tighten gas cap Tighten your gas cap. It needs to contain both fuel and fumes. Most cars do not benefit from higher octane - higher priced gasoline.

23. Use correct grade fuel Use the lowest grade recommended by your car maker. If you still prefer a richer blend - stop by the auto parts

24. Buy octane additive Store and buy a bottle of octane. A little of this every few tank fulls will keep your car and your pocketbook smiling.

Air conditioning is practically standard on modern cars. Is there a way to keep cool for less? It depends. There are two strategies for air conditioning.

25. Slow speed: no air Around town at slow speeds, turn the air off and roll down your window. On the highway, at speeds of 40 and over, open windows

26. Use air on highways Create drag. Roll them up and use the air. Potential savings depend on many factors including how high and how long you run your air. Speaking of drag on the highway, about half your engine power is needed to overcome wind resistance. Avoid hauling

27. Avoid roof hauls Things on your roof. Or check out some of the aerodynamic carriers. They look cool and will help minimize drag.

28. Avoid warm-ups Avoid long warm-ups. Even on cold mornings, your car doesn't need more than a minute to get ready to go. Anything more and you're just burning up that expensive fuel.

Turn off before you turn on.

29. Turn off electronics Starting your car with electronic devices, like the radio and air conditioning, turned off, will put less strain on your engine which translates to better gas mileage.

30. Use GPS A moderately priced GPS unit will pay for itself in wasted time and wasted gas. It's perfect for the directionally challenged or those of us who are just too embarrassed to ask directions

31. Go the speed limit When you drive, go the speed limit. It's calculated for maximum safety, but will reward you with maximum mileage. Count on getting more than 20 percent more mileage traveling at 55 than you would at 70 mph.

Dragging brakes are a total drag for your gas mileage.

32. Keep brakes adjusted Your foot and hand brakes adjusted.

“If you're going down the road and you notice your car is drifting constantly to one side it probably means you've got a break drag on the car,” said Csere.

33. Drive evenly Drive evenly with a steady foot. Don't jiggle the accelerator. Quick starts - are a quick way to the poorhouse. They burn plenty of gas.

34. Avoid hard stops Panic or hard stops will also cost you. Try to anticipate stop signs and traffic lights.

“If you know you're going to be stopping half a block down take your foot off early and coast a little bit,” said Csere. “Because all that energy you’re putting in to speed you’re going to waste when you step on the brake.”
