ZuperDave...... I think it comes from the hands....touch,feel,approach of how you phrase the notes. Joe has such a soft touch....it's all over his soloing. I was reading an article on Steve Lukather. He was hanging with EVH. Eddie started playing Steve's "Luke" model through Steve's amp and he sounded just like.....Eddie.

Kenico:Totally agree...pass a guitar t any of those cats its going t sound like them...a loveable TONE is another issue, it can make or break many a musician & that DOESNT come JUST from the hands

eg Gary Moore with strat

Gary Moore with Les paul

Same man different TONE

YAY MORE PODCASTS!!!

t-ho, ty, I'm so honored, really.

And ermmmm...they do make a cream fer that itch, right? =| I'm glad yer all the way across the states from me......btw, I prolly missed it but what do you do in your job? And spending time with Joe is the BEST way to relax imo. As I told Joe once before, he's our VACATION!

Slan, I can't check your 911 link out till I get home tonight, but I will. My brother has been saying for quite some time now that we perpetrated that act on ourselves in order to have a "valid" justification to be in the war. He says some day the truth will come out.....it's so sad to think that this could be. Hopefully better times are coming.

Tikimon : i also love blues a lot. & i also dream about a Telecaster..

Slan : yeap, there's a the Story of the M..

ZuperDave - is that the brand name for those Pickups (Texas Special Tele's)? and yeah - fingers/touch does have a lot to do with it but it aint the only thing going on. If it were there'd only be a need for one kind of amp.

oh.....

so yer an electric ho that glows in the dark? Izat why yer nickname is tiki, as in u light up like a tiki torch?

The Podcast is HELLAIREOUS !!!! I love the talking shirt. These Podcasts are awesome. To see some of the greatest musicians of our time creating these and having the obvious fun they're having is a joy and well..... it just makes the shows more special as Joe finds more ways to connect with us fans. I love it.

Cheese:All great countrys are ruled by nutters darlin, is there a positive light for anyone? we will have t see

personally i hope the Fed Reserve burns even if i must suffer for it, as humanist i try t be, i cant help but smile as these people stress & so Fuck Em, the workin class have stressed enough....

slan, I agree on the Federal Reserve....lets get rid of it and put it back into the hands it's meant to be in :)

Can I burn wiff u? ;)

T-ho, we all have a purpose in life, or so I've been told...yers is to generate light....much like a glow-worm who's lil bum lights up......not that yer bum lights up, how would I know that...but u get the idear :) Without u, we'd be in the dark and verra cold!

Hiya Mikesb,

Sorry for the misunderstanding (Phil Collins?). Anyway, I liked Mick Taylor's playing too. The Stones definitely went through a lot of changes over the years. I still like "Honky Tonk Women" from my dancing days as a kid!

Cappy--Good news! My Steve finally came out and gave me a hug! I was reminded his life changed completely when he was layed off from a company he worked for for 21 years. He has been sending out resumes online for 4 years and has been getting LUKE WARM TO NO RESPONSES. He works at The Home Depot and keeps telling me it's a survival job until he finds a document control, archive or library tech job.

Thanks for the insight into the world of Steves!

hi guys,

Just to advertise a friend of mine, nothing like a pure artist but but fun my friend making fun my friend website

tikimon - It's cool to see you mention Jonny Lang. I was just listening to Lie To Me in my car yesterday.

He's awesome...I saw him open for Aerosmith back in 1997, at my first concert ever. He opened for Aerosmith again at a show I saw in 1999, but then it never worked out for me to see him until last year. I think he'll be at the Experience Hendrix gig I'm going to in a few weeks, though.

No one died in that collapse, so I don't see much of a conspiracy. I guess you could argue that they brought in explosives to bring it down on its own after the fires started, but so what? There were government offices there and maybe it was just a precautionary measure...I don't see what they would have needed to cover up. If the video is trying to convince people that the government orchestrated the main WTC attack, well, they would have removed all incriminating evidence from WTC7 well before then.

And lastly...that building didn't collapse until 8 hours after the other two. If it was all a conspiracy, why wouldn't they have brought that building down closer in time to the other two?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for thinking for yourself and everything...it's just that in my mind most conspiracy theories have a lot of fundamental problems.

"Eddie started playing Steve's "Luke" model through Steve's amp and he sounded just like.....Eddie."

That's so true... There's a note from Joe somewhere on T2J where he comments on the Sevilla gig he did with Steve Vai and Brian May in the early 90s. He says he and Steve played through Brian's rig but still couldn't get his tone just right. So much of it is in the fingers...

I've already seen the Insurgentes videos, and I've also preordered the album. I guess the album title comes from a street somewhere in Mexico...do you know where that is, specifically?

Michelle--Thanks for the "Mississippi Queen" video

Slanshroom--Are you an official or unofficial teacher? You made my day by educating me about guitar subteties such as volume and tone. My ears are the better for hearing softer sounds that slowly build up.

This message place is making my mind reel!! That's REEEEL! I am overwhelmed by all the great info here.... will need to retreat to get my house and head sorted.
