Joe - hope you guys are still having fun. Good luck with the rest of the tour, another marathon lol

Cheese - Irelands so close I should have thought about it in advance. I almost always book loadsa shows, then think I'm being a bit mad, and then when there are no more shows. wish I'd booked more...well, I'll take a look at the dates and see how it might pan out, but yeah, why not. Ah, cross time zone sleep issues - aren't they great : b

JS1200JS1000 - just googled yer car. Nice - 3 litre V6 yes? Glug glug, but I suppose you guys still have cheap fuel?

Do The Stu - that's seriously bad timing that we both missed NOTE, but I like your thinking. There's so many other classics that I'm sure we'd all love to here as well. All good things....

There must be loads that have never been done live for various reasons

Hope the Paris DVD doesn't take too long to be released, especially if the set list is the same as the gigs I saw. W O W!

Daniela ....re: Italy

Gas prices in the U.S. are pretty good compared to most of the world (not counting countries like Venezuela where it's subsidized), but another reason it's hard to do a direct comparison between the U.S. and Europe is that gas taxes are higher elsewhere. We make up those taxes in the U.S. on other things.

I'm going off what other people have told me, but yeah, NOTE was played on the CP tour. If it seems like such a shock to people here, though, maybe it wasn't played at every show. Maybe it was just in San Francisco? He played some shows there around Christmas 1998, I think it was...Derek Trucks opened.

I should just get in touch with MegaBoyd and get all this straightened out. ;-)

It's cool to see Caress Of Steel so high on your Rush list. I don't listen to that one too often, and each time I do I wonder why I waited so long. I don't know if it'll ever crack my top 10, but I do enjoy it.

If you can get past the horrible mastering, there's some good stuff on Vapor Trails. Something that really helped me get into the album is shuffling through Rush's entire discography on my MP3 player. When you hear something like Secret Touch sandwiched between Subdivisions and Vital Signs you appreciate it in a different way. Or I did, at least.

The songs wouldn't be rehearsed to perfection, as the band just doesn't have that kind of time, but it'd be easy to overlook that if it meant we got to hear things like Back To Shalla-Bal, New Blues, Trundrumbalind, and so on.

k, here's my video from Belfast, Out of the Sunrise....the sound quality sucks, so sorry about that, it's way too bassey and boomey, I was at the barricade....but Joe is fun to watch regardless, he enjoys playing this song, you can tell :)

And Mckenna, Joe mentions using a CAD D-189 microphone....

ooo and here's a small series of short Joe-vids for something I can't pronounce and am too sick to try to spell :) It sez it's with 30 Ton, whatever that means...

Hey Joe..... Hope you had a kick time over here in the UK. and I hope you keep listering to my music, Your comments ment the world to me and I hope you find the time to talk to me again sometime in the future.

Take Care and Enjoy the rest of the tour......

away for a night and 4 pages, i had to have a ciggy break, he he .

rush, heard a cover of theres. recommend me an album do the stu- id like to check em out please -)

Do the stu- as regards to forum maybe if it was split into catergories like vai' s is? hes even got a demo section for budding musicians, anyway im new here, dont wanna rock no apple cart.

england is expensive due to VAT(hiss boo)- but when i went to Galway inEire, we found it real expensive. beans on toast for the next month.

recommend the 'cliffs of moher' if you visit Eire again Cheese. and the Aaron isles.

monaco is the most expensive place ive been. 12 Euro's for a coffee! to apply for citizenship there you need to earn a million per year. good to see the F1 circuit and walk under the famous tunnel and see the famous casino.though.

okay, lets see if this works....

To FLIP_JSX, a big thanks to you for reading my post. I agree Music (with a big M) is a great healer and there is something almost mathematical about the way Joe and co put notes together into something so emotional and beautiful. My two boys have 2 JS Ibanezes left to them by their father, which apparently they'll get when they're 18. They are in trust at my in laws, and apparently the boys are encouraged to play them when they're there, so they don't get warped by lying around in guitar cases.

I was told they are a JS1 and a JS100, but I dont' know how accurate that info is, and I find it hard to believe! But I do know that the white guitar Joe uses looks identical. Maybe....
