The keyboard player for Joe on Leno is definitely Phil Ahsley....... in case anyone missed my first reply ; ) he was cool as feck live

Do The Stu - that sounds like an amazing show. Pics pics pics... when you're back

Scuba - I agree AVG's great for a freebie, but a bit limited. I have a Symantec client that uses stuff all resource as well, and isn't the slightest bit annoying. So maybe it's just the versions you used at the time? The biggest back door anyone has is Windows... that's the worst problem!

... and eek, that sounds Tommy Iommi-esque (machine injury).

Igneous - definitely a bit far for me LOL. Something I always fancied doing was heading over and tackling some of the stages (parts of) that they use on Le Tour, mountain stages mainly. Days of suffering, now there's a holiday

Roo - enough... stop it... no more talk until piccy time cos that's just not fair.... or maybe a little more talk is allowed if you email me an advance pic : )

Cheese - ha ha, senility kicking in. I posted the Boogie link (Leno) after you posted Friends ha ha. How's Chris - is the stereo system still intact : )

Mowlie 2000 - how much was the guitar new and how long have you had it?

Skippygirl - ha ha, you know I meant the music, not the jacket. I can't see any mail from you, what's the subject line? You still watching your boy Webber?

LadyRebecca - as Michelle & GG2 have suggested, if you persevere you should be okay. An awesome guitarist who hasn't been here in a while (Paul "Clarky" Clark) broke his hand or fingers and still shreds like a monster. He's awesomely good so stick with it and hopefully all will be ok

Mikesb - lol, good one... I

Joe - know you're busy, but if you happen to spot this one could you tell us a little more about the "Peacock" JS100 that's in your collection please? Cheers

Hey, someone in the USA, let me know if there is a lottery coming up tomorrow (Saturday). I can get the results and then let you know so you can get a ticket on your tomorrow (Friday).

I'll split the winnings with you.

oh, whoops, sorry Phil, I was cruisin youtube and saw that vid of Joe before I ever went back to really read the posts and click on everyone's links....sometimes I click on the links in a marathon session, lol.....sorry I missed that u had already posted that!

Chris's equipment is still alive if u can believe it!!! He's not blowing so many things up anymore, LOL! But he did come by his nickname of Chrispie honestly =| He's really itchin to get ahold of a Time Machine and Big Bad Wah to go with his Satchurator.....$$$...must be made and saved, it's a TERRIBLE reality check, lol! He spent his April monies on his Chickenfoot ticket....so next month he can start saving.

Millie, I have no idea what time we're even landing in SF...the only thing I know fer sure at this point is, we'll be at the show. Beyond that, it's a crapshoot! But I'm sure you and your hubby will have a great time....I know WE will!!! Can't wait!!

Mikesb, Everyday is Elvis day for Yngwie! lol! Ohhh, so hot!

NOT!

mikesb:- Austin has a pic of YJM as Elvis??? I GOTTA see that!!!!

michelle:- You must've posted that while I was typing mine.Thanks for that. Apart from the hair,YJM DOES look like Elvis,hey?!?!

Yikes! I checked out kfox.com and found an article about Metallica's male fans giving their girlfriends to the members of the band. Lars said something about a guy coming up to him and saying "Please f***k my girlfriend" and he wasn't kidding! Lars said man, what are these guys thinking about? Where do they fit in the equation? Will the guy be around the corner jerking off!!? Gross!!

I'm glad I'm not a wife or girlfriend of any of those guys!

What planet are these guys from?

GoldenGirl2 ;-0

I know I will probably miss Joe being on tonight but I am absolutely beaten.

Good weather here.making progress.

Skippy- Happy tomorrow..or..er...friday. Now I'm confused, don't know whether to scratch my watch or wind my butt...Wait a minute.. I don't wear a watch. I got to strum a few chords and hit a few licks for sound check this afternoon before they entertained the elementary students. I couldn't stick around for the performance but will catch it tomorrow ( Friday) night.

Hope all is well with everyone...So Scuba, I take it you got the job?

Goodnight Joe..Goodnight all!!

LadyRebeccaofWessex your docter is an asshole. Going for "as long as you can...." is totally unprofessional. It should be the best it can be for ANY activity, wether for fun or as your job. I don't know how you broke your fingers and what shape they are in but fysiotherapy is/will be very important. Getting your fingers to work like they used to (if the bones healed well, in the right place, and there's no cut muscles and that sort of damage).
When I have an injury that can affect my guitar playing I always inform the doctor(s), which gets me extra attention, not "as long as you can work". If my cardiologist would tell me "as long as your heart still beats" we're satisfied and you should be too I'd kill the bastard!

Find a doctor that takes you and everything you do seriously, and treat you as if you were a pro musiscian. He should give every patient his best.

Joe, I wanted to see if you can help me. My fiance was a big fan of yours. He idolized you, and played your music all the time. He was a musician as well. He was learning your song "always with me always" to play at our wedding June 13th. Shawn passed away last month from a rare form of stomach cancer at the age of 37. We never got to see our wedding. I wanted to see if there was any way I could get a cd with that song on it, maybe with your signature on it. I know its a lot to ask for but it would mean a lot to me. He would be honored.

Hi Bill welcome to T2J - what's your favourite Joe songs and albums?

burly - Gooood Mooorrnningg Vietnam....er Burly!!!!!!!!!! Come on, can't you jump on the geetar and rip into something, all that gear just sitting there and waiting for you......:0)

Pip - LOL I thought you meant the crazy jacket not the Deep Purple CD - I did have a go BTW but $200+USD is way out of my budget and I am still a little dubious about CD's - so easily copied and printed etc. When's your next vid - couldya do Ten Words by any chance for a helpless beginner??? Will re-send the mail, check your spam box (now that sounds interesting doesn't it?).

scuby - great you have a couple of days work, sorry to hear you once injured your hand but gee it hasn't stopped you playing great guitar which is a blessing.

roo - check that, if I find out I will let the Aussies know.

dream3 - great idea, since the shows are sold out maybe somebody could put up a link for us to watch live outside the US. Also, any T2Jers can you take a sign to hold up "Hi Skippygirl" so I can pick you out on youtube :0)?

Taane - eh go on to you too mate, welcome, you play guitar at all?

cosmic_ape - now its Friday night yeehar! Fish and chips, glass of pinot gris and relax yeah!

well back form the studio jamed n drank all night, great ole time, was gona go downstairs to get some chicks but we left it to late, oops

goood times, im pretty sure i got the bus home, drove me car to get some breakfast pissed, but its ok i made it home safe and aok, and im writing this sure, so i must be ok, NO TYPOS

depends ape on what compression and video settings you use for YT... its all diff, i made tons of vids on day in different formatns and qualities, yer average vid will do aok, i forget what settings i use but its enough to get a HQ link... 128Kbps in 480xsomething video dvd quality or something, either way works fine, unless i shoot in HD HW is fine, tbh hq is far superior since its decetn quality and decent enough stereo audio

Aw Joe glad you had a great night, I missed Jeff Beck when he was here in Oz recently....I dig the tweets too so keep 'em up.

But...JOE is the best there is!

Jeff can be second best...

Glad yer having fun Joe!

Now, didn't somebody say it was Friday....
