All ya need is a belly for the tele!! Ya Baby! That's just awesome! Yes, that cat was actually very freaky.

So has anyone listened to the new single by Honeymoon Suite? Anyone even remember that group? I acually like this new song. It has some good tone to it.

Last night I was thinking about tone and some of my favorite tone on different records. ITLIS is in my top 3 Joe records, but it never seems to get a lot of attention. I LOVE The tone on that one. Van Halen's For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and Balance are 2 of my favorite tones from them. Although, what originally got me interested in a Steinberger was the trans trem effect that Eddie used on Get Up and Summer Nights.

Former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony has issued the following update:

Al you havent been on halo in like forever, they updated it, now were all recruits again!

I want to play my satchurator......:(

Good Morning Satchland.....How Is Everyone?

mari..... I'm soooooooo happy for you. God Bless both of you.

hybes..... I have JSX head. It's the best sounding amp I've ever owned. I get a lot of compliments on my live sound with the band. You can play anything with this amp. Blues,Rock,Metal you name it, it's in there. The Clean channel will not break up no matter how hard you hit. The Crunch and Ultra channels says it all. There's about a 6db boost from the Ultra over the Crunch. There's a line out for direct recording or feeding the house PA. Effect sends and return with level controls. Tube biasing from the back panel. Also, you have a choice to switch between EL34's or 6L6's. The tonal possibilities from this amp is endless.

Band update..... The band is on fire and we're starting to gig a lot and getting our name out there. The demo recording is in the completion stages and I just recorded my guitar tracks to "I know a Little" and should have this and others up on my space in couple of weeks. Best move I've made was to audition for this band. I'm having the time of my life and I'm lovin' it. I'll let you guys know when the songs are up.

Hello Joe,

I'd like to ask you about the SPL Transducer-analog cabinet and miking simulator for guitar. Are you satisfied with its serviceableness and quality?

Greetings from our music studio team from Slovenia

Hey joe just like to say that your music is brilliant and that youre the reason I started to play guitar. I just listened to another song on Youtube "Made of tears" Its awesome I espicially love the part when you start tapping INSANE!. anyway thanks for your music :D

RAAN - Happy birthday!

I don't think One Robot's Dream is in the setlist, but FIABD and Time Machine are.

Anyway, I finished my workout listening to whatever satellite radio or muzak they have playing there...they usually play lame pop/top 40 stuff, but they had some 90s rock thing going on this time.

They played Candlebox's You...it's been years since I've heard it, but I absolutely remember it. I looked them up online and I remember Far Behind as well. So I'll be buying their selftitled album next time I'm at a music store...

And to answer your Satch question, I think ITLIS? was recorded with some JSX prototypes...I'm not entirely sure on that, though. That's one of my favorite Satch albums (it was No. 1 until PSATMOR, and it's too eary to tell if it'll top ITLIS?...I don't think it will, though).

hybes...I bought the pedal as a gift for my son for Christmas, so won't know how he likes it till then, but I can predict he's gonna be crazy for it.

cheese101 - Doesn't Chris read T2J, or not anymore? You're spoiling his Christmas! Although since his mom's a Satch fan I guess gifts are never a HUGE surprise...but still. ;-)

nooooooooo, he lives in a Developmental Disability foster home and doesn't have access to a computer unless he comes home here for a visit. By then (Thanksgiving time) we'll have long gone on with posting, so he'd never see it :)

Bartender, I think he's had one to many.

RUH-RO!

Remember to ret rer indo yer har....

mikesb, I'm sitting here watching Larry & Bobby Bill waiting to see the hilarity you guys are talking about, but not really thinking it's funny - just odd. My husband hears it and starts watching the vid. Next thing I know, he's laughing his ass off. Must be a guy thing? LOL!! I sent him the link. Now he's watching it on his pc and laughing like hell again. He can't wait to show the guys at work. The only funny I see in the vid is you guys falling off yer chairs laughing. LOL!

mikesb, yer right, that was funnier. I sent him the link. He'll love it. lol!

RAAN, HBD2U!

T-Chee, Here's another bedtime lullaby fer ya to sing along with meh. It's one of me favs ;-)

hello peeps

guess what..

I PASSED MY FIRST COLLAGE EXAM...

i was soooooooooooooo nervous. But then i got my grade and felt a lil better. haha

have another test due tomorrow. eeeekkkk

so many test.

work full time and school full time... soooooo insanly tireing. sheesh.

I know the holiday is still three months away, but I say it's time to talk about Christmas albums...that way we have plenty of time to buy any recommendations and listen to them well before the holiday.

I assume everyone has Merry Axemas I and Merry Axemas II. If you don't have them, buy them now...you have no excuses. If you do have them, here's a trivia question: Who is the only musician to appear on both albums?

Steve Lukather's Santamental is another good album for instrumental guitar fans, and then Gary Hoey's Christmas collection is a must-have as well.

Branching out a bit, Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater has a cool solo piano album, Christmas Sky. And Bela Fleck & The Flecktones are releasing a Christmas album, Jingle All The Way, next week...I listened to some clips and it sounds pretty cool.

What are everyone else's favorites?

If you already have it, what brand did you get? If not, what style of music do you like to play most?

I think I owe you an email...sorry, I've been busy lately.
