bigdivot, you don't get club joe at the ruth eckerd venue in clearwater. they do not offer it there as it is a private facility. if you are a member of RE you can get the good seat but only if you are a RE member.

Received my VOX JS ICE 9 overdrive pedal yesterday!
So far I am very happy with it. Been doing back to back comparisons with it and my Satchurator pedal... obviously the Ice 9 has more boost/punch and is definitely a warmer pedal. I've favored the vintage setting over the modern to this point. The Satchurator provides much more bite and edge. Personally I think either with or without the "more" switch engaged and 300ms of delay sounds pretty nice. (When the mood calls for it, I'm also running a 535Q wah, Digitech Whammy, in front of a JSX 212, usually playing my JS1000)
edit - having both the Ice 9 and the Satchurator is my preference as opposed to having to choose between the two!

Regarding Mike Portnoy leaving Dream Theater (who I haven't listened to in a LONG time) - any thoughts about maybe how Mark Zonder (ex Fates Warning drummer) would fit in?

I actually preferred Fates Warning over Dream Theater in the early 90s... especially with the album Parallels. I thought Ray Alder was a better singer than James LaBrie. Of course I always thought highly of Petrucci.

Alan, yeah I may be a struggling Satchaholic... thanks for noticing :)
I was lacking a proper OD pedal anyways, so I thought this would be a fair bet. If I end up coming across something I like better,my son would probably use the Ice 9. Have I mentioned how happy I am that Joe is the hardest working man in showbiz? Busy, busy, busy! Hope all you other T2J peeps are doing well. Soon to be the weekend!

Anyways, my lil nephew doesn't know that this is the day his daddy died 9 years ago. He was just a baby, and my niece is trying not to associate 9/11 with his dad's death. The press always makes it 100x worse. If he ever asks questions, she'll tell him, but no sense telling him otherwise. He's only 10 God bless his lil heart. R.I.P. Bryan!
Joe, I'd like you to know that your caring words at that time meant so much to me then, and still do to this day. Yer the best and I love ya!

So am I the only one who heard Satch's Crowd Chant during the NFL pregame stuff in New Orleans earlier today? I thought for sure someone else would have posted that by now...
michelle - You're not one of the crazy fans I mentioned...come on, you should know you've always been in your own category. ;-)
DistortedSoul - I don't know much about Fates Warning, but I do know they have a few links (they've toured together in the past, etc.). However, I was under the impression MP was the main connection between the two bands...like, he was the one who was friends with the FW guys more than anyone else in the band. If that's the case, I'm not sure Mark Zonder would fill in for MP out of respect.

I have my ticket for the show at the Chicago Theater on Dec 19, and Joe, I paid my money to see your show without caring one iota who the opening act is, or even whether there would be an opening act or not. I know I'm going to get my money's worth from you and the guys in your band. Having said that, I would like for a change to enjoy a concert without having to suffer through another so-so opening act. I've been going to concerts since 1974, and I invariably dislike the opening act(s)- the handful of notable exceptions to this being The Sensational Alex Harvey Band when they opened for Deep Purple at Munich in '74, Eric Johnson with you at the House of Blues a few years ago, and Scott Holt who opened for Buddy Guy at Legends last January. Those openers were great- my experience has been that most aren't, and having just visited his site and sampled his music, I have to tell you that I'm not dying to see Ned Evett. Personally, I would like to enjoy a show without the whole routine of waiting for the opening act to come out, then suffering through their set while glancing at my watch every few seconds, then waiting for the main act to come out, etc. Is there some law that says there has to be at least one opening act at every rock concert? I say lets ditch the opening acts and go straight to the main attraction! I'm more concerned with the quality of a show, as opposed to the quantity of it (I chose Beta over VHS). I wouldn't feel the least bit cheated if there was no opening act. I probably wouldn't feel tired out and ready for bed afterwards either...

hello joe
i was wondering about gitar effects i,m finding it difficult to get the sounds i,m looking for i bought a boss GT8 which has some very good presets althought creating presents isn,t so easy.. i,ve been thinking about making my own chain effects instead which pedals would you recommend and in which order should they be placed.. i like a mixture of sounds from very heavy distortion to very spacey sounds.. i tend so find some spacy sounds are not really usable when playing.. thanks for the moment

Joe, could you please hit Albuquerque again on your 2nd leg. I saw your incredible show last time with plans to have my 14 year old son there but he was out and couldn't make the show. He's an enormous fan of yours and he has to see your show. We'll do Denver if we have to but It would be sweet to see you back down here.
Thanks,

Austin, that's cool they were playing crowd chant. I listened to the 1st qtr of the game on the radio. So I didn't catch it.
I know on sportscenter they're always using House Full Of Bullets in a different tone.

Hi joe
could you help me with your opion of effects pedals
which pedals do you recommend?
in which order should the pedals be placed in an effects chain
i have a boss gt8 some of the factory presets are good but i find it difficult to make my own effects chains with it
do you know some sites that give good settings for the GT8
in which you are taken through the process step by step
i like heavy sounds lots of gain and crunch and also spacey sounds
