Three unrelated things:

I don't think this has been brought up here, but does anyone know if any T2Jers have been affected by what's been going on in Mumbai? I know a few people from India post here.

I saw Jonny Lang in concert tonight...a make-up show for a gig he postponed a few months ago because he was sick. He was very awesome, as you'd expect. He's definitely worth going to see if he plays in your area...

It looks like Surfing With The Alien will be re-released on vinyl in a few weeks:

Not Of This Earth is also one of my favorite Satch albums (in my top five, maybe). The recording sounds a bit dated, but the music is still top notch. Sound clips from that album seem to be missing in the music section of the site here, but you can hear a few seconds from each track over at Amazon. If you like Musterion from PSATMOR, you'll love the NOTE's title track.

And yeah, that Michael Anthony interview is a good one. He sounds like such a cool guy. It's nice to hear him be so honest about everything, but it's sad at the same time because after listening to him talk about EVH I don't think there's any doubt that he's way into drugs and alcohol. Mikey talks about everything with so much detail but then he says "I'm not going to talk about that" when the substance abuse questions come up. If Eddie didn't have problems Mikey would've started those statements with "It's not drugs, but...".

I wonder if maybe Joe was unhappy with the way it was edited? Revelation was posted here a while ago and most people on T2J were didn't like the style. I thought it looked OK as a teaser, but I don't want the whole DVD to look like that. I guess we have to wait and see...

hybes - OK...

Click here for my post on Michael Lee. I have a link there to a blog post on Michael, and I also included a link to an MP3 of a cool live performance he did with Jimmy Page a few years ago.

I'm on a Led Zeppelin e-mail discussion list, and there are some people there with pretty good connections to the band. That's how I heard about his death so early...if I get any more details, I'll pass them along.

It really bugs me that his death hasn't gotten any mainstream coverage. I guess you could be pessimistic and look at him as just some drummer who played with Page and Plant and was in one of a dozen or so different Thin Lizzy touring lineups. But he played on Page and Plant's Walking Into Clarksdale, and Most High from that album won a Grammy. I work at a newspaper and I've seen some very lengthy obituaries written on people who have accomplished much less in life.

Music Radar did a short thing on Michael. It doesn't really say anything new, but I thought I'd post it here to give the site a plug because a lot of Chickenfoot info has come from there.

Click here and scroll down to the bottom for the Candlebox stuff.

When you say you like their new stuff do you mean their newest album? I haven't really paid too much attention to that one, but I heard a few clips of some random songs and they sounded like cheap rip-offs of their hits off their first album (similar rhythm to an opening guitar riff and similar effects, for example). But I should be fair and say I didn't listen to more than maybe 30 seconds of two or three songs. If you really like their newest album I'll probably give it a shot...let me know.

Conch - The 5K run was a reference to how long has it taken you to make 5000 posts.

Thoroughly golden Milli - ITLIS is my favourite Joe CD. Some amazing stuff on there. Oh yes, we already have a wild pict here, none other than Slan the man shroomboy. LOL. The last I heard his CD Widowmaker's Highway was on sale at a reduced price, even more reason to buy it.

Michellica - In our consumer driven society people seem to be losing respect for others and their needs. It seems to be what can I have next,how little do I have to do/pay, how much can I have, can I have more? If I can't have it right now then some mofo's gonna die! In fact somebody's gonna die anyway coz I want I want some attention! The big Boss Man in the sky must be looking down and thinking WTF is going on here?

Dunno why but recently I've been getting REALLY pissed off with all the killing going on in this world.

Now...off to watch the rat race act like rats.

Riviera_Grande - he played the Forum in Melbourne which is a great venue for live acts, so lets hope you can be there next time too.

Glitzy - I am in a world of pain today - went out at 7 am with a group of gals and we rode 30kms down our local bike path - felt great to finish it (2 hrs) but OMG we went to a party tonight and I couldn't even stand up!!! Had to sit down (well the heels didn't help) - I am anticipating much stiffness tomorrow.

Luckily Melbourne has a fantastic network of bike paths criss-crossing the urban area so you ride through bush and along rivers etc it is really nice early in the morning but the hills, aaarrgghhh the hills!

it's early and I've been up a half hour.

Just spent 2.5 hours playing my JS2K Crystal Planet. Love that guitar, the sustain is incredible and it's such a full warm sound. played heaps of stuff from every album, sorta was in a ballad mood and musthav played Ten Words about 10 times... So easy to get lost in time picking up the guitar.

Guess what was on last night? REVENGE OF THE NERDS! I was ROTFLMAO! Hair Pie, Hair Pie! - what a classic. Whoever had said 80's Joe was Booger is mean bastard, I couldn't get the image out of my head when Booger was dancing with the Moo girls with a crazy face and says "Damn, you moos sure can party!"... LMAO! I also thought Ogre reminded me of Stu! So I started looking for Jeff and Galen too!

Joe, for the record, I don't think you look like Booger. :)
