hola, yup listened to 3 sides matey, it got slammed but i thought it was a good album. have nt heard it for years, but it reminds me of super castlevania 4 on the snes, as they came out close ish. extreme 1st album is a bit dodgy mind.

listening to rust in peace, hangar 18 great tune. megadeth have some unusual compositions which are addictive, never use to be mad on them, but prefer them to metallica by far nowadays.

better photo blue moon, when you met joe did you freeze or keep ya cool?

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

Do the Stu - totally agree. It's a shame when a a guy with so much talent has so poor an attitude. I really have always appreciated Joe for doing the "little" things for his fans. All the little videos about guitar tips and the radio interviews..podcasts...you name it. In this day and age when you have to decide to split your money on the latest cd and gas...you want to atleast give your money to the guy that puts all on the line every night of the week for you. I just hope that I have the opportunity to see Joe live. It's a shame to be a fan for 20 years and have still not had the opportunity. Wish I could afford one of the trips over the Europe and catch a couple....sigh....goals.

Zenfish - There is no denying Eddie has had some tough times, but he's also just too full of himself. There is a new interview in Rolling Stone and he kind of snubs other bands. He said he doesn't listen to anyone except Cream. Not that he has to listen to any bands, he just comes off so crappy about it,

Achoooooooo - That video was hilarious! That poor old guy almost fell over tapping his pedals, and then he had to give the guitar a quick tune in mid song! CLASSIC!!

LOL....haha....yeah....hopefully by the time joe comes again I will have a car of my own and will do every gig next time.....although I think that would only be if Paul was supporting again....and Joe said that they were the best support act they have had...musically and in backstage fun!

so thats hopeful....and they both are inspired by Hendrix...in fact paul plays hendrix better than hendrix did!

Anyway....as for me....I dont think the sound was loud enough!!!!!

GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST WANNA ROCK (JOE) I LIKE ROCK!!!!! (PAUL)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my word Joe and Yngwie at the guitar show........

and I dont think I can afford to go

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

gutted!!!!

Hybes : If you listen to VH's music, you hear that his musical culture goes far beyond Cream.. maybe you ignore that he was pianist & drummer before playing guitar. & that his father is a jazz musician.. but well.. ed is simply human. Lot of people are full of themselves. But very few get his miraculous genius. This must be a very heavy burden.. that + success very young + alcohol + drugs... & you get a lost guy. A lost guy jaded with lot of money. Sad. EVH has played with the greatest guitar players in his time.. Holdsworth, Brian May, Lukather... now, he's jaded & G3 couldn't bring anything more to his experience.

About Cream, i think he's not wrong to defend this band against amnesia.. Cream is the base of lot of rock thing, & that before the Hendrix Experience, before Led Zeppelin, before Black Sabbath, before Deep Purple.. just after the Yardbirds.

On an other point, i don't see why everybody would have to agree with the G3 direction. I respect Joe. But G3 is an elitist stage for specialists. Nothing more. There's several others ways to defend guitar's place on the world.

I know that several people here think that Joe is the ultimate rock player.. but the EVH's musical revolution was here before him, & will always be here for ever. If you really search, you find that he has been more revolutionnary than Hendrix.

I'm happy to not have to bear that kind of burden. EVH must be very alone.

and

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)
