Hey guys, long time no post. Hows everyone doing? Had some computer problems, but all's well now. Went to the Metallica gig in Glasgow the other week, did'nt have a ticket but was lucky enough to get one outside. Fantastic show, anyone lucky enough to see them got a real treat. DO THE STU- won tickets to see a Rush tribute band next weekend, let you know how it goes. Have a great Easter weekend everyone.

T2Jers: Hertlien Gutars had a guitar clinic with Marcus Eaton and Emily Riesen. She sings and palys country music and marcus does some tricky acoustic stuff. A great time by all at the intimate show. Check them out if you can fine thier myspace ages. I'm going to have to get a "looper' now!

Chickencubefoot in McKennaPA?
Just got back from watching my son's band play a gig an hour from here. They kicked ass! I'm so proud of my boys! They were the third and last band to go on, and both the other bands stayed to watch them. They also had the most peeps show up on behalf of their band.
:-)
I'm 4 pages behind. I know somebody said something to me somewheres along the way. I'll catch up tomorrow...or the next day...

HEllo everyone- Just tracked down one of the guys who I was in a band with way back when. I was actually the local "guitar hero" at the small school I attended. One day I walked into a music store and heard someone wailing away on some Rush. I walked around the corner and there sat this kid on a barstool playing a Strat that was almost too big for him. I remember standing there watching for a while and when he finally took a break, I asked him if he wanted to play in a band . He said "sure". I said "cool,..I'm moving to drums"
He lives in Portland Or. and works for Pro Guitar Shops.
Anyway here he is demoing some of the Schecter guitars.

Pip - oh my bad, that was your ticket huh? Well hang on to it, and enjoy the show....don't forget I'll be sitting right next to you (er, virtually) on fatape's lap.
Do The Stu - well you nailed it, we are such a small market that the chances of a tour here are not as high as US, Europe etc. Nevertheless I remain hopeful. 22 million people isn't a huge economic force but who knows. I think one thing in Oz's favour is we apparently spend on sport and arts/music in a big way, and hence for a small population we do get the big acts and events despite being half way round the world from most of them. I mean, we get 100,000 people to a football match here in Melbourne on a regular basis, Pink sold out 14 concerts here at a venue that seats 15,000 (I think), you get the picture.

Cheese Thanks for the links, Ya know for once I hope there is no G3 tour this year, because that means CHICKENFOOT does a bigger tour.
Happy Saturday everyone, I'm going to Memphis to play some guitars while it's too wet to work.

Clarification on earlier post I thoght about what I said about being the local guitar here...Let me put that in perspective. It was a small school and they didn't get out much :-) . And I did not immediately switch to drums because we had a great drummer at the time. We had a lot of fun and this was in our high school days. Anyway we had some lineup changes after high school that not everyone could agree on and Scott went in another direction understandably. Sometimes immaturity gets in the way of things. Anyway Scott was /is a great guy and a great guitarist and has went on to experience much in the world of music and life.
