Maritime - Good post. That was a pretty interesting press conference. Joe gave some good insight on a few things. It was interesting to hear how many times he's asked Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen to come play a G3. Even Kirk Hammett. But you have to love his positive attitude about why they won't play.

Been trying the harmonics all weekend. Do the Stu, that was a great explanation of harmonics. You're right though, much easier explained than played. I have never really tried harmonics before and have a whole new respect for those who can do them at will. Guess I need to keep practicing.

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while!

Sure, sure, little dudes playing big guitars, but check out the dude playing a shovel!!

Good article -

A Washington Post editorial on Thursday put it well: “On a day when the Congressional Budget Office warned of looming deficits and a grim economic outlook, when the stock market faltered even in the wake of the government’s rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, when President Bush discussed the road ahead in Iraq and Afghanistan, on what did the campaign of Senator John McCain spend its energy? A conference call to denounce Senator Barack Obama for using the phrase ‘lipstick on a pig’ and a new television ad accusing the Democrat of wanting to teach kindergartners about sex before they learn to read.”

McCain's accusationof Obama "wanting to teach kindergartners about sex " is so twisted. The issue was teaching kindergartners what is inappropriate touch to help them protect themselves from sexual preditors. You would hope that would come from the parents, but sometimes it IS the parents doing it, and sometimes the parents are oblivious to the fact that it can happen to their child. It's a sad world when this even has to be an issue, but it is, and it's about time somebody addresses it.

quote from cbsnews.com -

"Campaign spokesman Robert Gibbs told CBS News the legislation Obama supported provided information to children on what to watch for when with an adult they don't know, such as inappropriate advances or touching."

Sorry for the Barack-Obuzz, but McCain's campaign is based on blatent lies.

Done with politics. Let's Dance

Bobula- What kind of guitar do you have? because I am pretty sure he is only allowed to sign Ibanez guitars for some contract reason.

Wow Al and Michelle the same exact SECOND. you're freakin' psychcs

Michelle- that kid is pretty good, but he played the solo a bit slow, he should have tapped more.

Tostado-PS3 is over-rated....360 is superior, face the fact. and it's got halo 3 ^_^ which AL hasn;t played in an ETERNITY.....

89GTR-I live less than an hour from milwaukee. but the closest he is playing anytimesoon is chicago.

John-cool link, I like when he brings his clone in to talk about it. and you can take archery in skool as a class?

I GOT MY TICKETS TO THE CHICAGO SHOW. but they are balcony seats....HEY JOE WORK ON YOUR THROWING SKILLS. TRY AND TOSS A PICK UP ON THE BALCONY!! ^_^ I don;;t want to go to skool 2moro. but at least I have tuesday off.

He only signs boobies.

it's 3.50 in the morning, I've got work in four hours, and I can't sleep. I'm being messed around by a guy who can't decide between me and his ex gf, and who doesn't even have the balls to be honest about it. I find out through my space!!

Because, for someone who's text messages he apparently ignores, she knows that a) there IS a new myspace and b) she's magically aquired a band poster that I'd asked him for too. Methinks this guy is enjoying the attention...and I'm gonna head for the hills any second now!

Don't need this crap.....

Al....still up!!!

Cool...I love Cryin....

Tracie/Austin, tell the man where to get a Satch bucket hat.

Happy Monday all. *groan*
