J Satrini:yup, guitarists & their sad fragile egos, its better now than back then I have t say, I mean for a 20 year old t knock out Gambale chops back in 89 was like... hes sold his soul t the dark one kinda thang lol twas incredibly sad & hey np on the info, my pleasure, I know er indoors will love Cordoba, but y cant go t Andalucia & not see Granada, dude that’s like toast without jam, Alhambra will blow yer mind, the work that went into its is staggering, it really should be one of the 7 wonders, its also a place where Christian & Islam live side by side in peace, would be great if the rest of the world followed its example instead of squabbling over whos god is better, but really, you can see the two places at a relaxed pace in a week, anyhoos happy t be o help n a ra best t the missis bro

I'm gonna to be a few egotic; i wasn't scared at all to meet mr Slanshroom, to play with him & to recognize & understand how much straight ahead our time he's about guitar approach. To the contrary, it has been a great pleasure to me. It has definitly brought my mind about guitar to an other step.

Sorry, but this must be definitly said. I don't get problem with the ability of the others, went it's good.

Mark : Hell for me was called sequencer Ardour the last two days.. but i get now all the rythmicall parts, beat, bass & guitar recorded of the variation from HFOB.

Chee - The concern shouldn't be whether or not to go but whether or not your goin g to come back. You may end up staying there.

Sure and I'll just move in at Mckenna's house and become his new big sister-pain-in-the-ass :)

Ken...will give the song a listen after work tonight, and email u back then, k?

Slansh....I don't think any Irish lad will wanna get ahold of this mess when I get there....besides, I'm going for my Joe, for Joe-Satch...and maybe a little family-owned shop or two for some handmade Irish goodies. Although, I will say....that the hotel I booked....in downtown Dublin...is known as a night time "hot spot" and it says if I'm looking for peace and quiet, that isn't the hotel fer me....well....I won't be in the room all that much I don't think anyway, so it should be fine. I'll hafta find an Irish pub to sit back in and soak up the local color at least once I guess.

Cappy......Well....I'm glad I made the team....lol..... As for the post to Azin. Did you read the review? Mr. Hathaway basically is saying Joe has managed to hide from Sony and that's why he's still making records and it's the same songs we've heard for years. One of the most obsurd things I've ever heard. I would love to hide behind 13 studio albums and millions of records sold and not to mention something like 13 grammy nominations. I think Mr. Hathaway needs to spend more time practicing his guitar (if he even plays) more than writing such bullshit. Now that I think of it..... If he doesn't play......What the hell does he know?

Wow, I've had a busy week. I have 10 pages to get through since Sunday...let's see how that goes...

Joe Satrini - I'm not sure who is in the AWMAWY video. I'll watch it again and let you know. I'm only going from my memory, but I'm pretty positive Jeff is in it. I wouldn't be surprised to see John Cuniberti in there either. I don't remember Stu being in the video, but I may be wrong. I'll have to dig out Satch Tapes...

Anyway, Satch seemed to play a lot of 21+ gigs at the HOB on Sunset when I was under 21...and now that I'm old enough, I think he's only done one 21+ gig in LA since (The Cliff Show). So I've missed out...although I guess it's a win-win, because it means Joe is playing in bigger/better venues.

What do you mean about Musterion's solo sounding "constructed"? Do you mean that it sounds like it was overrehearsed, or that it's a bunch of short guitar licks pasted together?

I like how there are so many different phrases hiding in there...it makes it's fun picking them all apart in my head.

I think Out Of The Sunrise can turn into something amazing in a live situation. I hope it makes the setlist...

Well, I have six pages to go...I'll finish catching up later.
