DoTheStu: You like Tom Petty as well? Great classic American song writer that guy...
I nearly entered a competition to win an AdrenaLinn...maybe I should still try to :)
Guitarvibes: That's horrendous. Why oh why do we have people like that in this world? You're right, it does really make you want to cry.

Mahbaei - Hi...welcome to the site. If you want to increase your finger speed, practicing at a higher tempo each day isn't the right way to look at it. You'll probably hit a wall around 120 or 140 BPM. Plan on making shorter BPM jumps, but focus on playing without making mistakes.
I saw something in a Stu Hamm bass video a while ago...when he practices his tapping lines on bass, he works on speed and accuracy by playing things both faster and slower. So maybe he'll start at 80 BPM and play something five times, then go up to 90 and play it five times, then down to 70 for five, and up to 100, and down to 60, and so on.
So maybe set up an exercise like that, that'll take you 20 or 30 minutes to get all the way through. If that's a part of your regular practicing, after a few days you'll find you can stretch out the BPMs at the ends and get better.
burly - Ceremony sounds awesome...thanks for sharing. :-)
Satriella - My hair is a bit shorter now (although still long)...I need to grow it out again. I have a few other photos I need to add to that folder...I have a photo with Ann Marie Calhoun from Steve Vai's band, and others with most of the rest of Lacuna Coil. And then there are the pics with Satch and band from this latest tour. ;-)
SuperSwingDog - I last talked to MegaBoyd last summer...we sent a few messages back and forth when we found out Stu was back in Joe's band.
He had left the SF area and was living in Colorado on a church mission trip. I'm not sure if he's still out there. I'll send him another email soon and try to talk him into stopping by here.
Igneousiceman - I actually only have a greatest hits album from Tom Petty, but I like his stuff a lot. I'd love to see him live some day.
Jim Ladd, the DJ I mentioned in my previous post, plays a lot of deep cuts from throughout Tom Petty's career...especially Traveling Wilburys stuff. So I've heard quite a bit. He's definitely on my list, when time and money allows. ;-)
Listening to: Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom (current song: Nothing Can Keep Me From You)

Joe's on NOW on Rock radio, but you have to be in the UK to listen I think, but you may be able to listen again anywhere. (Pretty much what Scubadaz said :)
Listening to: Adverts before a 'Vintage Joe Song'
Edit: Make that Big Bad Moon....

Al, I have the swine flu now, and I blame you. I'm coming to Dublin to litter the place with all my used tissues. I'm not going down alone.
You don't get swine flu from pigs.
U.S. health officials said this week they may abandon the term swine flu for fear it's confusing people into thinking they could catch it from barnyard pork.
National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists discovered the new strain of influenza - a mix of pig, bird and human viruses -and named it swine flu, although scientifically it's called type A/H1N1.
Naming flu has been problematic. The infamous 1918 pandemic was first called Spanish flu, although scientists agree it most likely originated in Kansas.
Makes perfect sense, doesn't it????? How bout we just call it the feckin' FLU!!
Actually, I prefer naming flus something a little more entertaining like the Shitzngigglez Flu or Coughnphart Flu, or maybe just something realistic like Washurfilthyhandsyadirtybastid Flu.

scubadaz, thanks for that interview link, it was a great listen....only bad thing about it was they dint include the songs :(((((( Every time the guy announced the song coming up I was like OOOOOOOOOOOOOO and then it went right back into the interview without a single note, lol....
But loved hearing what Joe has to say and the guy was absolutely right...kid in a candy store-super excited....that's Joe!! :)
Wil Smith is right. I daydream sometimes about what things I could do for peoples if I had tons of money...I would spread it around all over, not so much with one person that it makes that person lazy or dependent...but just enough to help someone or a family out of a jam so they can focus on getting back on their feet. Soooo many people could be helped, just a little....and it could make all the difference in the world.
Then you hear of awful things like the guy who plowed his car through a crowd of innocent people. So damn sad.

Aw I just missed Joe!!!!
I just wanna tell you guys I successfully got the city of Davis (CA) to let me start a summer ROCKBAND CAMP!! A bunch of my students signed up and I'm real excited to start making a band outta these kids!!
Haha I hope we get a band that'll play "Highway Star" thats the most wicked DP tune ever... We got all kinds of interesting instruments signed up as well, got a 12 year old Harp player!!!!! Though I don't think the kids will be playing "Chords of Life" wah wah, I might have her play it for me just to jam with her though haha.
I can see why you went with Vox on all this stuff man they make some kick ass gear! I use a Vox VT 50 in my studio at work and it sounds amazing, they even have a "Surfing With the Alien" preset haha.
