JOE, ZZ's podcast #2 is awesome!! They're so much fun! I was laughing so hard at a few parts I had to go back and listen to it again so I didn't miss anything. You guys are a riot!! The Polish audience rocked!! Man I'll tell ya, ZZ has some of the best summer vacations!!! lol!

Zen, metronome ~ good one. lol!

Suzie - lol... I'm sure the novelty will eventually wear off for me... But until then, I shall use my letters!! :-D

HI JOE, HOPE THE GIGS FOR SUPER COLLOSAL ARE GOIN WELL MAN.

I SENT U A MESSAGE REGARDING THE ALMERIA GIG ON TUESDAY 18TH JULY.UNFORTUNATELY ME AND MY FATHER WERE UNABLE TO OBTAIN TICKETS FOR THIS VENUE.WE LIVE AROUND 10 MILES AWAY, AND SO I HAVE TAKEN THE TIME OFF WORK TO TRY AND SCOUT FOR ANY CANCELLED TICKETS ON THE NIGHT( PROBABLY NOT MUCH CHANCE OF THAT), BUT HEY IF IM AT THE AUDITORIO AND WE DONT HAVE ANY LUCK I¨LL STAND ON A WALL NEAR BY JUST TO GET A GLIMPSE MAN.WE ARE FROM ENGLAND AND I MISSED U THERE TWICE DUE TO ILLNESS.PLEASE HELP US MAN, I HAVE TO SEE U PLAY. YOURS REALLY HOPEFULLY CARL

Has anyone here seen this video? I came across it a few weeks ago but figured I'd post it now since some of you are talking about EVH. This is from a concert in Carson just last month, but looking at how Eddie is running all over the stage you'd think it's from 1981 or so. Pretty cool...

paiize - Amazon should have Joe's guitar books.

Also, I loved it when Joe threw a bit of The Enigmatic into one of the jams toward the end of his set. I wish he'd play more of the songs from that album...The Enigmatic, Driving At Night, or New Day could fit nicely in his set today.

962:NP bro

Zen:Ycan play frisbie with it bro,lol its all changed.Good its end of year now for the sinf, gives me more time t put the bucks in the bank,buy decent pro gear & figure out how t get the best out of it.I,ve been caught up in one thing or another this year, change of boss/job, time off from the bust hand, now i have t catch up with bills & save for visiting Andalucia in August.Good news is in September i change to a good company with a great contract & hours.Back end of Aug, i,ll mail y then

Suzie 2000:If Ibanez took a piece of root of any tree dressed it up, stuck a joe pickup on it & attached say the first half of the neck with the pointy headstock to it & called it the JSstump, i wonder how many would buy it lol, its sad t say....but i would just for the laugh.I can imagine the convo, i,ve got the Chromeboy wow, i,ve just bought the JS 1200 cool wow d y like it...Well i just bought THIS,it kicks stump,lol

it does suck when y cant sit in on jazz n blues sessions Suzo because yer holding a strange superstrat lookin guitar.I used t love playin it at some folk gigs, the frowns from the arran sweater first few rows were downright scary, sometimes y just want a backline of 12 4 by 12s & 24 Marshall heads,lol

GROWLER:I miss my Nunchac,s bud, i dont miss the crack on the inside elbows when y get it wrong in practice though,lol i lost count how many times i,ve come out black n blue under the arm from catchin it & it kicks the crap out yer shoulders, but sure feels good when the muscle functions as it should i must admit.Y know Zappa said music is best... most musicians that have played long enough knew that b4 they saw that published, some others like me back then were still in question, is it, if so what is it? I,ve watched many a brickhouse of a man crumble t happy tears when listening to the worst version of a song & many a fight end because of it, when i hold & play guitar i walk away with ease, i see others change b4 my eyes, a light enters for eg a student that just understood the basics of improv, taking a 5 year old kid wearing a Nervana T-shirt with a mother hell bent he is goin t learn Classical n Jazz, takin his classical guitar from him putting an electric round his neck, showing him a bar chord an have him stompin on a distortion pedal....the smile tells all, he comes back in secret from mother to his class happy.His mother knows nothing nor cares 2 but he gets music! I never cared t evolve enough in Martial art to achieve that moment, but i have so much respect for those that do & you know that bud!

Cuth:Amoungst other things yes, poverty for 1,well y know bro, I,m still waitin for the lotto,lol

Joe:21st Barcelona, lookin forward t it bud.Hope y get over Deli Belly water joy i think y may have had?

sorry for the long post

Ovation,Cube,waterproof soap, Satriella, Kenico, Clarky,Michelle, Big Gay havin fun with 4, VRFrocker, marimari, alexandrecatano & all i missed

Hi folks...

ovation...yes, dream come true, indeed! Last night Joe did come into my dream, and he gave me some guitar advice. WOW!!!

Clarky...yes, it really did happen, we have the proof!!

Satriella..hi there! The photos were taken by my friend Viki..unfortunately it was all so quick with the security guys hurrying us up that I never thought to take one of her. Shame!

Hi Joe, hi all,

I´m going to see Joe in Concert tomorrow July 18th in Almeria...I´ve been waiting for months, and tomorrow is the day!

I was lucky enough to win an aftershow backstage pass, so I am so happy and amazed that I think I will can not sleep tonight.

I talked with Galen Henson (suck a kind guy! thanks Galen for the emails!) and said that there´s no problem bringin my Ibanez Js10th Chromeboy with me to the venue, to have it signed by Joe....meet the man, my dream come true.Hope we can hang around a little with joe at the bar in the venue, will be a great place to meet Joe after the show.

I will take a couple of old vinyls with me too, and of course, my camera, but, just seeing Joe playin´ live just a few meters from me is, as I said, a dream come true.

I´m going to give Joe a gift also, for his last 50th birthday...just hope you live at least 50 more, Joe.

Thanks for coming to Almeria, and hope to see you tomorrow.

Peace,

Suzie: It worked for me. Tell Matt it sounds beautiful.......I'll be getting those photos to you again in little bits instead of 1 big bite. Beautiful new guitars, wonderful additions to the family. I'd still like to hear more of Matt's Bluesy stuff. He mentioned about sending me a CD. Sorry but I've been really busy.......Hugs!

Zenfish: Awesome Uber-hard Swinghard!! Love that EVH! Poor Waldo.....lol. Did I send you that pic of EVH from a friends friend's wedding?

LucySorents: Congrats on the aftershow pass!! You Rock sweetie! Tell Joe & the Guys hello for me! You have mail. ;-))

AlexandreCaetano: Have a great time Alex, I wish I was going to the show with you & Lucy!! Tell JOe Happy Birthday!! I hope you get photopass! Say hi to the guys, Jon Iverson & Mick too. Hugs to you both!! You have mail. ;-))

Blue Moon: Nice to see your Joe photos Al. I'm glad you made it home safe.....I was a little worried about you. I'd only read bits & pieces not being around t2jmuch these days..... Any concert shots? Just curious, what do you do for a living beside play your guitar & write beautiful songs?

Ovation: I may have missed your reply but I sent you Paul Gilbert photos again..........last week I think. I miss spelled an "o" instead of an "a" in an email. I hope to see a few Jeff Beck shows in September. One confirmed Sept 11th in NJ.......I'm bypassing the WHO this tour, it's the SAME week!! I'm hoping to see 3 JB shows for the price of 1 WHO show...$225 Ouch!

Do The Stu: Hey Austin!! Nice to see you..... don't be a stranger! I'll be going to NAMM in January 2007 already have the time off and a pass to get in. I hope to meet up with you again, that would be uber-cool!

MariaNoelle: Hi sweetie! I hope you and the family are doing well. How's theStudio coming along, all done?I have good news...I'll be writing in the next few days! Wish I could send the "secret weapon" to a few people here.....lol

For those in Latin America & Mexico you may be interested......

The G3 will be coming your way! I'm not going to spill the beans but SV is not one of the G3. Webmaster Jon will give you the details soon enough........... Dates are still being confirmed. I'd love to go to S.A. again, Costo Rica was very beautiful as was Panama. I got some incredible images when I was on St. Andres Island Colombia. Maybe i'll get there again.....

Peace.

SO gang!!! anything new and exciting happening in SATCH BOOGIELAND?

Hey Joe?

hows that european tour treating you?

I can't wait for a new DVD to be perfectly honest... another stand alone show, showcasing your songs, and your songs only would be a total mind scrambler... almost as much as it was meating you this year... That's been nearly a life time of a dream for me... and it finally happened, although I wish I had time to chat with ya a bit longer...

you were unfortunately very tired... as I could tell immediately... I was the second last person in line to meet you... and you were a little weirded out too unfortunately when I was chating with ya about my old nickname on T2J... which was Plum Loco for a good 8 years... but I gave that nickname up because I hadn't used that nickname in PC gaming for a fairly long time... I was also on the 1st Talk2Joe CD but unfortunately, in my case, a mad rush to enter the songs was a major issue and had I have known that it would take like more than a year I would have worked harder on a tune more worthy for the CD... I did my best, but the production side of it took a nose dive for my part and the overall production of the CD itself... major disappointment for a musician who really doesn't have the skills as a producer. on a more professional level where there were actual producers around they would have dictated the overall sound on how a song would go together, mixxing and mastering which unfortunately I'm still trying to learn after 10 years...

aw well... what do you do... Adobe Audition, or Cool Edit Pro and SONY Soundforge will only get you so far to be perfectly honest...

anyways it's been a long day...

take care...

Hey Joe

Any ideas when you will be visiting Sydney, Australia next? I missed your last tour :(

hey guys...........

growler.....now it is israel and the hezbollahs...can the world be any worse than it already is.

SUZIE No problems with the link here. Nice tune. Cool. Like a night on the beach with a full moon......Just got done watching "Bulletproof Monk." I've never seen it before. Kind of far out but some Wing Chun in there.

CUTH I totally agree with you. Wish I had more to say on the subject but the bill is on hold for now.

SLANSH Must respect bro. You have a way with words, and so does Zappa. Speaking of Zappa, do you know the title of the song, I think its on one of his OLD albums Sofa Number 2? He has Johnny Guitar Watson singin in an awesome jam at the end of it. Could it be San Berdino? No doubt FZ or Watson visited this place because it describes it perfectly. San Bernadino is like a smog pit in southern cal. I used to live near there so I dont want to offend anybody out there. If ya know let me know bro. Have a good one.

WATERPROOF SOAP Hows it going? I didnt know you were at Pearl Harbor that long? I worked in Aiea and Pearlridge for about 4-5 years. Go to Pearl every so often. No. Bully Hayes be gone man. Alot has changed on that side of the island, as a matter of fact the whole island has changed. Big business has moved in and all the mom and pop stores are gradually leaving. Its kind of a shame, but thats life. Good to hear your standing your ground with the band. Whats the saying? Ordeals lead to new deals.

The band I'm in breaks up at the end of summer when two of the four of us return to teaching, thats why I'm looking for another band. In answer to your question I'm doing OK. Still with the dizziness, which I believe is adrenaline overload. In some ways its great because it doesnt bother me when I'm focused and I can play bass better, work out better, but afterwards the adrenaline wont downshift. Knowing the body and chemistry fairly well, you cant just shut it down, no matter what you take. It takes time of inactivity and rest which is the pits. I know partially its a thyroid T4 underload. Secondly, hormones are very powerful animals and precursors to neurotransmitters, but I dont want to go the route of norepinephrine, dopamine, SSRI's, etc so I am using amino acids instead as they act as reuptake inhibitors as well. But it still takes time and I have time to chill.

So getting into a metal band is most likely a bad choice. The manager called me this morning, Roy, and the guy is desperate. Found out hes the lead guitarist's dad. Is that cool or what. Full support from the family. We talked a long time and he is a GREAT guy. Turns out we are the same age! So, Im going to look hard for a bassist for the group on this side of the island, as he is way over in Ewa Beach. Made a good friend and contact anyway.

SO WHERE IS EVERYONE GOING ON THEIR HOLS THEN?

SteveeT - Nice tunes as always....Jimi's among us....cool and mellow which was quite a surprise..well kind of...the title just sounded like green day I'm sure that is one of the lines....anyway so I had that in mind....but then you are always mellow and chilled....are you finding your way around now with the new house and area?

Cuthbert1776 - Zidane...lol....very true though with any situation...it does depend where your sitting as to your viewpoint!...also with the global warming thing...there will always be a good/bad for/against in any situation you care to mention.

Suzie2000 - I wonder if you will feel like I did when I left work...I was fine all day until I actually went to leave.....then tears!...well have a good holiday. Do you have to prepare loads of stuff in the holidays though...or do you get away with it this time coz you are starting anew?

Shell - Oh did the security guy actually hurry you....he didn't say anything to me...but just looking at him made me scared enough to hurry anyway......Was he with joe or the apollo?

slanshroom - see yis end of August, work mode on!....what does that mean...end of august....do you work away then...boo hoo we will miss you!!!!

MariMari - Good to see your post always makes me smile as soon as I see your name....although what I read didn't....I finally get the circumstances wheree I can go see G3 and now you say Steve Vai is not gonna be in it! WHAT! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Are you sure.....please say your not!

waterproof soap - hmm front men.....see coz they are the front man they have large egos and think they are right about everything......so what yer gonna do?

LuycySorets - I think I missed something....what are the congratulations for?

Barrie Poole - are you talking about finally made it home or something else.....whatever...you did a great job so don't pull yourself down!!

Alexandre - Awww now your just making me blush! Oh...still waiting for the video....when can I see it

Hi Joe,

Im looking forward to your next show in Sydney,Australia,I hope it is soon?
