SupersatchuratedDave - Over the years i've had dealings with the cops for a variety of different reasons. We have cops in the extended family, both uniform and plain clothes, I also have friends who are cops, one of which is an armed cop at Heathrow. Cops in my neck of the woods appear to be a little different to the ones I have dealt with in the States, we can speak with them more readily. An incident with an American cop a few years ago left me with a wry smile. One of my staff became involved in a fracas, I intervened and was settling down the situation when two of Portland's finest arrived, I tried to explain the situation and was treated with sneering contempt and told not to speak unless asked a question. After a while where they got several different accounts as to why things had kicked off they got back to me and asked who I was, before I got a chance to speak my staff member introduced me as Captain xxxxxx, their attitude changed immediately to one almost of deference. Things were then resolved very quickly and amicably. Amazing. Nevertheless, big respect to cops, they have a tough job to do and I think the majority do it as well as they can.

Cappy...yes they do have a tough job. And it can be a very stressful occupation. After all they're not robots...they're just people.

Anybody seen the new Rush S&A DVD yet? If yes, is it any good? There's a BlueRay version too. Hmm, decisions, decisions...

Speaking of robots, as we were walking around the wharf in San Fran....a guy had painted himself metallic silver and all his clothes, top to bottom were also silver. He stood on a bucket or pedestal of some sort and moved as though he was a robot. Spoke in this crazy high, electronic-sounding voice, dunno how he did that, but you had to do at least a double-take to make sure he was human and NOT a robot. It was the funniest and freakiest thing...interesting way to make a living, lol.....
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope you are all blessed in some way.
You especially Joe....we love ya.

roo: Sorry, the Guitar I was telling you about isn't the one with the chrome 3D surfer. It's just painted on, but I still want it....
24K on guitars this year! and you probably didn't get much change. I hope you at least got service with a smile...
Skippygirl: My wife's nearly left the 40's behind, and seen Joe four times and met him once. She doesn't play guitar 'as such' but Joe is the one reason she will allow me to get into debt. If it's anything Joe, I can normally swindle a purchase out of her.
fatape: Nice wording on the EX'S, that could have got messy....lol
I'm still waiting on my satchurator to turn up, it can't be much longer now.....
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do all of you pedal demons think about the issue of "true bypass" ? HERE is a point of view that appears contrary to current thinking. What say you'all????
Of course he IS selling something......

Austin, I thougt Alice's Restaurant was only a tradition on WMMR in Philly! Very cool! I just got curious and went to WMMR.com and clicked "listen live" and I actually caught the last few minutes of it! LOL! They're playing it at 10:00, 12:00, and 2:00 est. Thanks for reminding me :-) As for Rush & U2, I dig the old stuff. Haven't really gotten into any of their newer stuff, at least not enough to buy it.

Joe im a big fan of you, i got all your cd's.
How do you write music ? do you just choose a key, and then make a song in that key, and stay in that key for the rest of the song ?

Hi Joe,
I just wanted to ask you to come tour Europe again.
Well, I'm lying I really want you to do a gig in Croatia.
Paul Gilbert was here twice, Mr. Vai once and now I think you should do a concert here so we(Croatian people starving for rock) can continue collecting G3 members!!
I'm just joking, we'd need Malmsteen for that.
Please think about coming here, it would be a great time for you and an even better time for me and my friends(and if you do want to come here, please come to Zagreb! Iron Maiden and Deep Purple came to Split so the capital, Zagreb, needs some more rock'n'roll!!)
- Me!

thanks for all the input on the compressor thing. i guess i am going to look into them. another prolly "doh" question is, do you run it b4 or after the other pedal except in the slansh's case where he runs mulitple? i might even try that too. i love fiddling with my sound and nothing is sacred to me so i might try just about anything. the true by pass thing was an interesting read BUT, most of us don.t use 2' cables between our pedals. i have 6" little patch cables and keep everything nice and neat.
happy thanksgiving to all who do this. i have a bird and some fresh veggies going on and the house smells fabulous. already into the tiki drinkies too. salud to you all!!!
todays drinks are the tropical itch(no rash cream needed) 1oz of vodka, 1oz of rum, 1/2oz of triple sec and 4oz of passion fruit nectar. mmmmmmmmm. next is the ever popular banana daquiri. 1oz of rum, 3oz of cream of coconut, 1oz cream de cacao, 1 whole banana, 4oz of pineapple juice. put it all in a blender and viola. all you need is a little paper umbrella.
mix these with a guitar and you have some BIG fun.
listening to lyle lovett and his large band live in austin. next is the clash, london calling.

Hello everybody! Happy Thanksgiving Joe and to everyone!
I did a four-mile race this morning. I placed in the top 50 out of 800+.
Does anybody watch "Deal or No Deal"? I like that show a lot. I saw it last night and a lady from Minnesota took a deal of $260,000. Pretty good don't you think? When they opened her case to reveal what she could of won, she had 2 Million. I was dumbfounded and fell to the floor. I felt so bad for her. Anyway, watch the show when you get a chance.
Do the Stu: That is awesome to see the Black Crowes. That makes two of us because I have to work Thanksgiving as well. Christmas is in question.
SuperDaveMcCarthy: Hang in there man. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving with your family. Prayers to you and your family.
Skippygirl, roo, and to all the Aussies: Good day mates and Happy Thanksgiving. What's the weather like down there? I would like to visit Australia sometime, as well as Canada, and Europe.
Well, gotta go. I have to take care of a couple of things and then get ready for work.
Happy Thanksgiving Joe and Everyone!

HI
This msg is basically for Mr. Joe Satriani.
Mr. Joe was my first ever idol and inspiration when i started playing. Basically I started playing guitar at the age of 10-11 when i was forced by my mother. At that time i was not at all interested in guitar. I remember finding joe's album 'The Extremist' on one the cds my uncle gave me. That was when i learned that guitar is with infinite knowledge. That's when i started learning and playing leads. Before that i was stuck with the plain ol rhythmn. I used to play Hymns at the morning assembly in my school. There were some other guys who also used to play guitar and it became like a comprtition who'd learn a lead faster. basically i was the first at my school to introduce rock and metal at my school and was also the first to start stage antiques in my school. i recently bought the ibanez jem jr. I was thinking more of getting Joe's model but I was short with money So i bought Steve VAi's instead. My dream is to play with Mr. Satriani once in my life time and i will play with him. I'm working hard on learning guitar and making music at my place. Maybe a time could come that i'll jam with Joe Satriani himself.
Hail to the Guru
Namaste

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I have to work (think of me when you're reading your local newspaper tomorrow morning), but I hope everyone else has a nice day off.
Cappy Steve - I agree it depends on the situation, but had this guy not done what he did he'd still be alive...regardless of whether he ran into a nice cop or a mean cop. I guess my point was that he could have controlled the situation if he wanted to.
Anyway, this is a bit of a tangent so I'll leave it...
loll - I bought the Rush DVD the other day but I haven't had time to watch it. Maybe I'll get to that tonight after work...
cheese101 - Ah, it's nice to know that the robot guy (or at least another person doing the same thing) is still going in SF. I haven't been to that part of the city in about three years, but I do remember him...hehe.
michelle - The U2 thing I mentioned, Under A Blood Red Sky, is actually a re-release of a concert at Red Rocks in Colorado from 1983. It's a package with a CD and DVD...the CD is only 35 minutes or so, but the DVD is pretty much the full concert (almost 90 minutes). So that'd fit into your "old" U2...buy it! ;-)
Listening to: The Police - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da
I'm not listening to Alice's Restaurant because KLOS isn't doing that this year for some reason...boo! Maybe they changed the time or something...oh well.
Happy Thanksgiving anyway...
...Austin...

Happy Thanksgiving to all the american folk......sorry to hear Do the Stu that you're not going to have a day off...prob the only guy in the whole of the states!!
Got a copy of Chinese Democracy for my birthday, and I'm very pleasantly surprised. I wasn't a fan really the first time round but I'm finding it very listenable. When Axl keeps his vocals in the lower ranges, he really does have a nice voice. I can't stand all that nasal vocal screeching in the higher ranges though...
