hybes, I think passion well-describes what Joe brings to music :) And oooooo 95 in OKC, omg, humid too? GAH!!

achoo, oooooooo how I remember the EWJS shows, they were fantastic! AWM, AWY continues to evolve on stage, it's incredible. Joe throws in new lil twists here and there, love it!

Revan.... i dunno what id be like, probably blub somthing like ' i invented the bananna' and nod emphatically.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.....*gasp* LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL..... Joe would love that :D and has prolly heard it all, but maybe not that...too funny!

igneousiceman, thanks...hope you have better luck with shows and SOON.

So if all it takes is drinking coffee to make the dirt come outta my brain, and I drink it everyday....why am I still so retarded?

Wooleyman, yes, there really is a Paris dvd coming at the end of the year or so...Joe DID mention Germany, but that musta fallen through or he got a better offer from Paris :) But it's coming! I know what I want from Santa this year!

Mckenna, u need to add the USA to that list one day....

Nice chelly....have a good day honey...maybe no one will be shopping today? We can dream.....

Hard to believe that just one week ago I was in Belfast, standing out in the cold for hours waiting to see Joe again. It kinda feels surreal now.....

Zenfish - you will never ever hear me bash EVH on talent and skills or what he has done for the music world. I am very well read on the history. Without EVH the music world as we know it today would have taken a slightly different direction. I don't use drugs and very rarely drink so I don't understand the addiction aspect of EVH. What I do know is that EVH is wasting massive talent each and every night by getting tore up and then falling all over the stage and having fits of anger and ripping cables out of amps. I second a recent interview with Sammy Hagar...the hope that Eddie cleans up before he dies. It is sad to watch a legend fade away at such a young age. And I will say this, I actually never knew that Eddie could have been part of G3. Hey, I still rock out the Halen CDs and have everything they've ever done on my ipod. But hey, we all have our opinions. None of them are right, just expressing passions. Good banter.

Hybes : No prob. EVH's story is a miraculous one, but a very sad one.. a few like Charlie Parker on sax.. & some others ones.

T-Bones, I'm OFF this weekend! Wooooooo! Of course the beautiful weather we had last weekend when everyone else had off has turned to a day of rain, thunder, and even a feckin tornado warning :-/ The band is coming over to work our nerves in about 2 hours too. Lawd gimme strenff! I'm gonna play my new cd ANOTHER ANIMAL and try to relax whilst I eat lunch in my jammies. lol! Good times man, good times! lol!

Igneousiceman: Yeah thanks for listening again! Good stuff. I guess what I've tried to do with my stuff (obviously heavily influenced by JS) is create memorable and interesting melodies, rather than simply play really fast! - I know there are a lot of awesome technical players out there, but what a lot of them lack for me is feel and sense of melody (without sounding big headed!)

Yeah with the composition aspect I tend to base a track around a mode of the scale to give the piece a certain flavour, which does rely on theory, but at the same time, thinking too much about theory ruins creativity a bit, so yeah you need a balance I reckon!

It says you play guitar! what sort of stuff do you do?

Starting to get into a band called Edguy now-their lead singer sounds almost exactly like Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden vocalist)

Check em out here

Coolm..

If you seriouly want to talk about Fender Tone Hendrix stuff.. well..

I have to kneel myself in front of

Mr Malmsteen

& Mr SRV

Rip srv & hoping that the genius of malmsteen will do an other concerto before leaving us..

I was actually gonna post that ZZ Top was one of the loudest I've been to also! LOL! August 10, 2005 - We had seats up front, and this huuuuuge speaker unit was hanging from the ceiling right above our heads that sent the bass directly into the depths of yer skull and down into yer ribcage. My husband was asking for mercy, but I was lovin' it! It was feckin' great! lol! ZZ Top is by far one of the best bands I've ever seen. Their performance was so incredibly ass kicking, and the music was killer!

Stu Loves Paris in the Satch Time

Stu's newest video :-)

THANKS STU!!!

Reading, Pennsylvania :-)

ha! The Readings - like brothers with different mothers. lol!

Igneousiceman, SRV come on part 3 is a classic! He makes that wah pedal scream! Good choice of track.

Sorry I forgot to say that I'm finishing Fusion at the minute, redesigning the artwork etc. The whole selling my stuff on my website is pretty unsuccessful to be honest, its just great if I can get people to listen online!

The whole jamming and 'using your ears' thing is the thing to do in my eyes rather than get bogged down with theory. But yeah if you learn all the modes ie. phrygian, lydian etc, then it does help with the whole Satch thing :-)

The National Spelling Bee finals were last night. Check out this awesome clip:

The problem isn't with EVH's fans thinking he's one dimensional. I mean, it's been going on DECADES now since Eddie has done some his best guitar work. If Eddie wants us to know there are other aspects to his playing, he should show us.

When was the last time he came up with a riff like Girl Gone Bad, House Of Pain, or 5150? There are almost hints of that stuff on For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance, but those albums are around 15 years old.

I don't know what EVH's expectations are, but when you've only released three songs in the past 10 years it's hard for fans to think much of anything. I don't feel that he owes the fans anything, but sometimes it seems like he wants the rewards without doing all the work.

Michelle : ahahah... the best mothers are the mothers of invention of course

Do the Stu : I think ed is definitly lost. Sad.
