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!

MICHELLE- totally agree, one of the best i've seen, that gig at the bowl, you could hear the first support band as clear as a bell from where we parked the car about a mile away. Where did you see them in 05, if it was in the UK i wont be chuffed i missed it.

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:

hybes - You're in Oklahoma, right? Hopefully Joe plays somewhere near you on this tour. If not, what about saving up to take a vacation to California or the New York area and catch two or three shows in a row...?
Zenfish - "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"
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.
lorenzo001 - Hmmm? Click the "Joe Messages" button toward the top of this page and dig through them...Joe doesn't have all that many posts.

Do the Stu - I would LOVE to head to New York or Cali to catch a couple shows. I have not been able to have an adventure like that in years. I hope there's enough time when the schedule is released for me to get it worked out. Has anyone heard a time frame when the US tour is getting released?
I got my new Dennon headphones yesterday. My wife told me I look like I have flying saucers on my head! I told her I was trying to be like Jeff!!! She was clueless. Poor thing just isn't a rock and roll fan.

by the way, has anyone checked out Candlebox's new cd? Pretty darn good. I've never been into bands that are making political satements, but I always like their music.

Hey Zen, if we're going for old cheezy videos, I prefer something like this!
Steve, Billy, & Greg - just like yesterday - only the Dave's have changed to protect the innocent. ;-)
They were a crazy bunch of mothers. lol!
And since we're talking old friends... Shy Boy
And since PG is putting some stank on the fretboard, might as well pull this one up too!!
That one stands the hair up on the back of my neck ffs! lol!

ha! It's okay t-bones *pat*pat*pat* lmao!!
Zen, even if I haven't heard those old DLR songs for years, they come back to me fresh like I just heard them last week. I love that stuff! lol! Those were some of the best vids on tv. I remember thinking HOW did DLR find a band as good as VH, and to some points, even better! VH started out great, but fizzled before DLR got the boot. The DLR band was killer!

O.K. I can't seem to find the questions I ask so I'm going to ask again, I'm not even sure if I posted it or forgot to hit post lol.
I was wondering, Joe, have you or is your music at all influenced by drugs? And are you planning on going to the Gorge at George, WA or the Spokane Arena(better for me, I'm a lot closer) in any U.S. tours? It would rock to see you live, man.
Peace

Wow!...I did the Dream Theater meet & greet last night.Friggin' incredible show too...I was almost speechless for the meet & greet but I kept my cool.
Michelle.:....Chalk up another signature to the ol' Ibanez.I am running out of room...lol...I also got John Myung to sign my bass too.What a great bunch of cool guys.I should be getting the pictures of me & the band in 2 weeks.Can't wait to see how retarded I look...hee,hee....
Austin:...I didn't care much for the opening acts but they were tight.The band "Three" was the best I thought......John Petrucci lost his rig during the solo for "In the presense of enemies"...Jordan lost his rig too at some point.The curtain came down half way by accident on Opeth which delayed the show for 30 minutes.I didn't get out of the meet & greet until about 2:30 am...I was a happy zombie at work today...lol....Gotta get some more zzzzzzzzzzzz's..talk to you later.

hybes - Last we've heard, there will be a US tour in August/September. I don't know if/how Joe's Chickenfoot recording plans will affect his touring, though.
Personally I'm hoping Joe takes a break for a month or so after the Central American tour, goes into the studio with Chickenfoot, and then goes on the US tour for PSATMOR after that. I'm a bit nervous because I have tickets to see the Dave Matthews Band on August 19, 20, and 22. Joe's latest scheduled show so far is in Mexico on August 13. If he starts the US tour on the West Coast right after that, I may not be able to go to as many shows as I would like because of the other concerts.
When Joe tours the US he typically does 4 or 5 shows in a row and then takes 1 day off. I don't know what size tour he's planning, but if you came to SoCal you could stay in a central location and see shows in San Diego, Anaheim, Los Angeles, and/or Ventura on consecutive nights. Or you could stay in NorCal and do San Francisco, Sacramento, and/or Reno.
You could plan a similar trip on the East Coast. Whatever you decide, I bet you could find Satch fans to travel with. Tracie and her son Chris flew down here for a few Satch shows in 2005 and they ended up carpooling with me to the Ventura show. Freeway traffic is much more bearable when you're riding with other fans...haha.
Anyway, you mentioned Candlebox. Are you a big fan? I've always wanted to give them a listen, but I've never gotten around to buying a CD. What would be a good one to start with?
purple bear - Joe won't be playing venues of that size on the US leg of the PSATMOR tour. He doesn't stop by Seattle on every tour, either, but if he does he'll probably play a theater like the Moore or the Paramount.
jblaze1 - It's good to hear that you enjoyed the show. Three is an excellent band...I saw them open for Porcupine Tree twice last year.
I'd love to hear a bit more about the show, once you get some sleep. ;-)
