Scubadaz - Seems to me that one couldn't imagine that scenario, perhaps you're speaking from experience?

What's worse is having the knowledge that you're imagining me with my trousers round my knees!

Ken _ hi.

Austin.....I dint wanna steal yer thunder here if Joe did show up, the pleasure of telling about it was all yours :) As it is, sounds like a great show!!

Hey Joe!

That is a big garden - much larger than mine.

One thing I forgot to mention about the Sammy Hagar show was that so many people were warm and receptive to the idea of him playing with Satch. They seemed happier about him than they did about Mikey, which seemed weird to me.

I was talking to a few people about it in line and heard comments ranging from "Satch is amazing and it'll be awesome" to "I have no idea who he is, but he's in my son's guitar magazines so he must be good". And then there was the drunk guy inside who was yelling "CHICKEN FEET!!!" for about five minutes until someone told him he had the name wrong...haha.

Let's say there's one band that has a melody that's 90% his and another band with one that is 75% his. He could choose to sue the second band, win, and not go after the first one at all...even though they may have done worse. It doesn't mean anything until they're sued.

I looked at that video you posted...it's too dark to tell, but that tall guy in the bottom center of the frame might actually be me. I was standing just in front of two other tall guys...one was wearing a hat and the other had a shaved head. The guy in this video has hair, though...so maybe it's me?

austin...i'm actually involved in 7 different projects at the moment! including one space pirates rock musical and a trip hop jazz electronica kinda solo project called "planet robot" :)

what's new your way dude? how's journalism treating ya?

oh yah, and where's Michelle at? Paul Clark? Ovation Mike?

Glitzy--I'm still practicing my acoustic Fender even when it growls at me! I don't think it appreciates my forgetting that it has 6 strings instead of 4 (as my violin from many years ago had). It says, "Hey, get with the program.....I have 6 strings and that means you have to look before you move that right hand! Stop bumping into strings that aren't called for! The A string is NOT the D string NOR is the D string the A string....get that through yer thick head ya luni!!! Sometimes, I think my guitar wants to kill ME! If the guitar ever grew legs and arms.....yikes! I'm freaking myself out!

Anyway, I'm practicing some songs that go from the low C to the 3rd fret on the high E.....my fingers are still not cooperating to form the F chord and I'm miffed at meself!!!

Blue Alan Moon--With Mother's Day in mind....this Sunday in the USA.......How many Mums do you have including me, Michelle and T. Safley??? @;-D

Goin t be a loooong night...have a childhood friends 40th birthday bash this Sat in Scotland, he,s not on this forum AT MO so i can say...cant wait t surprise the man.

I,ve been tailoring over a custom self put together Strat the last month t present him which has turned out amazing..who,d o thunk it! "slan rubs sweat from forehead" the man thinks because i live in Barcelona n having such a young son perpetualy ill "as lil bods get while in kinders one gets a cold then all get the parents etc etc" theres no chance of me getting home...but

My parents are MAJOR party peeps so between us we worked out a lil evil plan

Back the 12th

Blue Alan Moon--Cat Stevens has a better case i think

You got that right! I noticed the melody is so exact right about 3:37 for about a whole minute and then again at 4:50 on! And to think Cat is no longer Cat! I like the feline creatures...they give lots of affection mostly and have musical purrs that often sound like either a Harley-Davidson or a Mac Truck! Oh, not that KIND of cat....well, ok k.

Milli goes off into luniville again....blame it on the charms of Alan McKenna!!

My apologies to Cubester. ;-)

Scubadaz--Yes, it is!

well might aswell make use of this lovely post space... here's a picture of Vai ...or similar

Alan--That would be perfect for my new magazine BITS.....the opposite of HOOTERS magazine!!! LMAO!!!!

Austin - I don't mean to be picky, but my somewhat (very) tongue in cheek rhetorical Q was " is he by default also alleging that Joe plagiarised him as well?"

I was just having a bit of fun, I do it a lot.

I can see you take all things Joe (and other musical matters) very seriously and that's very cool, me i'm not so cool, more like a cynical old fart.

Keep rocking,

well Austin, true enough, I'll remember that next time then and spill the beans, lol!! I dint wanna rain on yer fun :)

Millie, what are u on about? I have never claimed to be mc's mother. He's got a very lovely one. I'm just his 'old woman retarded American friend', eh mc?

Matt K....seems yer keeping so busy, u just might be staying out of trouble....but somehow...I doubt it ;)
