Satriella..... Hi Hon. How are you? Everything is great on my end. Busy Holiday weekend fixing windows and painting. I did enjoy the time off from Fri. to Wed. We had a great time inspite of the work....lol.....Hugs.

Ovation 1...... Yeah, I was laughing also on Joe's Ford Escort comments. What a great Podcast eh? I also like the Queen Rubina comment. I bet Joe caught some grief for that one....lol......Anyway, How's things?

slanshroom: Missed your post bro, lol, I was backtracking to make sure I caught everyone!....

....On the missle situation.... They landed closer to Chinese waters, but it has really sent the government a stir here.... The U.S. military are conducting more intense RC-135 flights (to jam and find info), but otherwise, they are just pissing off governments around the world.... I really hope they launch again and one lands as a mistake, lol, they are an accident waiting to happen.... I still, to this day, cannot fathom what makes a society allow this kind of credulance....

Btw, I can picture the whole continent of the North going blackout when the missles launch, and the crazy thing is, the government doesnt want help!!.... Such is life.... Stay kuul bro!....

My condolences /\/\/\R|<....

Hi ya people,

Been mega busy trying to get my project of the ground. I was doing some research for it and I came accross this amazing concept on Pete Townshends site www.petetownshend.co.uk. I thought some of you guys might wanna take a look at it as lots of you write music or are interested in writing music. Sign up if ya wanna have a go. I don't think you have to be a musician to have a go either.

The Method is software that creates music. Your role is as a ‘Sitter’ – you sit for a musical portrait just as if you were being painted. The software ‘paints’ your music. The entire business may take just a few minutes, or much longer – in some cases perhaps a large number of sittings over a period of weeks would be required. A lot depends on what happens when you first join in this experiment.

What will be the outcome of your involvement?

There are two possible routes for this experiment to travel:

One, you sit once, and quite quickly receive a piece of music that you part-own (1). You can do what you like with it. You may not like it, you may love it, but it will be an authentic portrait based on the information gathered by your interaction with the Method software. This is free.

Two, your first portrait is deemed by the composers running this site to be especially interesting. This does not mean it is better or worse than any other portrait. Simply, the composers are hoping that certain portraits will provide the setting for development as ‘bigger’ pieces – possibly songs. Even this part of the experiment is free, however we will ask Sitters to commit by simple contract to remain available until the work is finished (2).

What every Sitter will be able to enjoy - if they wish – is a concert occasion in the future when all the music created by this software is aired in public for the first time. On that occasion, composers will perform. Selected Sitters will appear on film (if they wish), or their music will be accompanied by video presentations. There will be a premium ticket price required to attend the event in any country (circa $130). The event will be aired by webcast over the internet, will itself be filmed and sold to television and other media for entertainment and documentary purposes.

Dear Joe, I am going to request Super Colossal on my favorite radio station and try to get some air-time with it.

Ovation:Thx bro, if theres any way in finding out the craic that end of the woods i,d rather it direct from the horses mouth.Fingers crossed China & Russia dont stand on the defence 2 much, shit could get out of hand & fast

Speaking of the Hloiday weekend. I have a funny story to tell you guys.

Well, I'm just about to drive up to London for my brother's wedding weekend!!! I get to wear my kilt again, which is wicked. Hopefully people will laugh at all the right bits in my Speech; fingers crossed!!! lol

A big hello from Austria! In case of the "Piberstein" Gig, Maria Lankowitz: Great sound, great power and fun... a blue dream for the (rare) audience.

And the audience was the problem! I think the whole event was a financial desaster - because of some mistakes, like useful promotion and stuff. Weak organization - confirmed toooo late... at least a great event for the few listening people in front of the (big) stage.

cuthbert1776 - I hear you on the name of my child.....Everybody's saying that now about Kimber. It's funny I didn't know it was a gun company until after the fact.

HI YOW ALL.

I've been working on a project for a while now and I now can reveal to all what it's about.

I'm putting together a TV series about The History of Guitar. I didn't want to say to much until I started getting responses from people I wanted to be involved.

I've spoke to Fender, Gibson and Marshall and they have all gave me a very positive reponse. They have all initailly agreed to be included and in the event of the project being financed will contact artistes who endorse their product so they can be interviewed in the series.

The series is not just all modern players it's going to cover the origins of the acoustic from Babylonia to the Moors invading Europe and the Italians and Spanish influence of the instrument. Then it will go into Orville Gibsons 1904 patent and look at the first electrics. The first electric was a hawaiin guitar in 1933. Rickenbacker made an eletric banjo and Gibson made the first mass produced instrument in 1935. Then the series will go in to thr rock n roll era right up to today featuing testinmony from Joe and Steve amongst others.

If any of you guys work in TV production companies who could finance this get in touch with me via my email. If any of you guys feel you could make contributions towards the content again please feel free to contact me. I would be interested to hear any suggestions you may have.

Its all early days with this at the moment as I have been working on this for 6 months. I spoke to Isis who made the 'Classic Albums' series and a collegue there told me it took them ten years to get ITV interested in the series. So I am preparing myself for a long slog. A couple of people in TV have said this idea has come up before but it will be hard to sell oin the UK as there is hardly any music on UK terrestrial TV.

I haven't got a lot of spare time at the moment so I have only ghad time to make some breif posts on this site. I haven't been ignoring folk if you've been posting me. I will get round to em eventually. If any one wants to talk to me send me an email and you'll get a response as I check my emails every day. Just thought I'd drop a line so Satriella don't send out a search party !!!

Have to love ya and leave ya now.........

stay lucky folks

Cant think who this reminds me of can you

ZEN lmao

Cube:bit of chutney ferret, lol

Love the new video, Joe! Can't wait for the next ones!

Hi,

I have a question about the gear used on the first G3-DVD. I really like the tone there... I can't see the amp on stage... I think I see the Boss DS-1, and there are two Marshall 4x12 cabs. Is it the Marshall 6100 head, that is listed in the gear at guitargeek.com? I guess it's a Marshall anyway. I have a 6101 myself, and it sounds very similar, also very 'glassy' (I use a treble booster over the lead channel). Also, does the sound come from the DS-1 over the clean channel, or some other channel?

Al:Your just pissed i thought up that A min chord & passed it t yer bro, lol

all joke aside, happy yer enjoyin tube ov heaven bud, havin yet another elusive tone day myself

I think most musicians will agree with

this

just as well god gave us all the ability to really talk, dont y think

Zen:That last post t y wasnt a poke in a bad way bro, i just found it funny
