Webmaster Jon, is there really no aftershow pass giveaway for the May 24th Belfast show? It says no........ :( Not that I think I'd win for either Dublin or Belfast, but I'm thinking we'd all be disappointed at no chance at all for that show....but if Joe can't do aftershows that night, he can't.

K, that's good, at least you were able to talk to him, no matter how it turns out.

Satriella-Good that the newplace is workin 4 u.

js1200js1000, It could well be lol

Ibanezjoan, great vid! My hair stands on end when I see Joe play that song. My Fave part is right after the 4 minute mark. woweewowow!! Thank you :-) I'm looking forward to seeing your video also.

Anybody here ever do a triathlon?

If so, how long was yours?

What was your time?

What was your best event of it? Why?

What was your worst event? Why?

For how long did your train?

How did you train?

Was it fun?

Would you do another?

I am thinking of doing one in August - time to train is now (Monday). Just looking for some feed back on your triathlon experience.

Sorry for all the questions - just looking for my next challenge.

I just ran the Indianapolis Mini Marathon this past weekend.

Hi, Joe! I was last May 6 in the concert at the "Palau de la Música", in Barcelona (I live there). I just wanted to tell you that it was an awesome one, because of you and your guys and the place, that is a very special place to us to listen music. The "Palau" is one of the best locations to listen classical concerts and the organ sounds impressively there.

Just to tell you also that it seemed to me that your guitar sounded a litle better in the second half of the concert, while in first part it sounded a little dark and confussing. I'm not a pro, but in my oppinion, too much "overheads" level from the drums and perhaps the bass was a little too much shinny, giving your guitar a little room to sound clear while the chords guitar was already in those frequencies. I would try to darken a very little the bass in the highs and lower a little the overheads while giving your guitar a little more shinny presence, it should give you a better frequency room and presence in the first plane of the overall sound. These kind of theaters, when they are full of people (like it was!) tend to reverb a little more the highs and mig-highs. Moreover, we want to hear your guitar in the very first plane, so, less volume to the rest of the band (sorry guys). :)

I've seen similar problems when Steve Vai comes here, for example, the last one that he putted two violins also, making the overall sound a little mess.

But, hey! Your playing was almost perfect, the band played very well... Your are a good team. You have become a better guitarrist, and composer with the years and this is what we really enjoy.

I got a JS-100 recently just to play some things and I have to say that this king of guitar is just a must! It brings a whole new colour tones and it makes a lot of armonics making it to sound with a specific personality. The other Ibanez's I have and Stratos or Gibsons just CAN'T get that sound.

Well, I have to leave now.

If ever there was a reason to put 15 cops behind bars, THIS is it!! warning - graphic violence

How sickening is that! I saw it on the news yesterday and started screaming at the tv. WTF!!! WTF!!!!

Mike_Muse_Rage - Joe doesn't really mix up the setlists from show to show. He may make a few changes at the end of this leg, but I bet things will remain the same.

The only reason I could think of for the set to change drastically would be if after this leg Joe goes with Brad instead of Stu. Nothing against the new guy, but I hope that doesn't happen...I'm psyched to see Stu again.

What do you mean about the odd performance of Oriental Melody? I'm not aware of Joe pulling that one out at random shows recently...

Joe, I'll be seeing you backstage at TSB Stadium in a couple of months! I'm so stoked you're coming back to New Zealand - thank you, and thanks to the promoters that had the sense to invite you. Well worth clearing out the bank account and maxing out the VISA for!

Regards,

As per my earlier post and video, the cops "thought" one of the guys in the car was a cop killer. Good cop doing his duty to protect gets shot 5 times. Bad cops pull three other shooters from a car and kick the piss out of them thinking it's the cop killer. I understand they were on edge, but fux sake man, get a grip. Here's more...

Liczbinski, who would have turned 40 on Tuesday, was shot responding to the robbery in northeast Philadelphia around 11:45 a.m. Saturday. The suspects opened fire after Liczbinski confronted them a short distance away, shooting the officer at least five times, police said.

Officials have announced a memorial fund for his family.

Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said officers had been on edge since Liczbinski was shot. In an incident two days later, video taken by a television news helicopter showed three suspects being kicked, punched and beaten after they were pulled out of a car following an unrelated shooting.

Officials said more than a dozen officers would be taken off the street as authorities investigate, and Ramsey said police needed to maintain a high standard of conduct despite the tensions.

Liczbinski was the third city officer slain on duty in two years.

Gun control?? Not here.

People killing people killing people. It's a circlejerk ffs.

I did a fast take of SWTA and uploaded it!Here it is .It's got some mistakes but oh well!...I haven't played in a while...hope you like it!
