Scuba: Well, she is definitely good looking, but I was thinking about her guitar prowess. You seldom see/hear female guitarists playing that style of music, and playing it well enough to get on stage with Vai and not look like a complete fool is even more impressive, regardless of gender. Did u check out that vid, her playing with Vai?
Railton: I'd say get a feel for what the judges want, playing a song of yours is probably option 1 but if they won't even let you in the door with that u should have an alternate "popular" song ready to go. That's how I would approach it anyways.

Iggy the Icicle - Last time there was a HUGE fuss because at the time the Aussies were the best side in the world by a country mile and we hadn't beaten them for decades so it was a massive achievement. Less so this time round, but still a great result.

WEAR A HELMET!
I had just picked up my husband after work and we were driving home. I had to pull over to let an ambulance by, and it stopped about half a block in front of us. We see one of my husband's co-workers - a motorcycle rider, standing there. Next to him is our friend and my husband's co-worker laying on the sidewalk! His bike - a new Harley - was there also, but both bikes were upright. We didn't know if a car pulled out on him or what? I pulled into the next side street and parked the car, and we ran a half block down to them. There was oil on the road, and our friend must have gave his bike some gas to go up the incline and fish-tailed. His bike went out from under him, and he went sliding into the curb and whacked his head off of it. THANK GOD he had on his helmet! He was only going about 30 mph in city traffic, but he got some nice road rash on his knee,the back of his hand, forearm, and shoulder. We don't know if that's his only injuries or not, but it's all we could see. I think he might have a concussion, but we don't know if there's any further damage. He was in pain and upset about the whole thing. As he laid there trying to look at the damages on his body, his one thought was... "I got a gig this weekend!" Friggin musicians! lol! They took him off to the ER, and the other co-worker drove his bike over into a parking lot to get it off the street. We came home and called the HD dealer to come and pick it up because it needed a doctor of it's own, and we wanted it to be safe. After we went back to the lot and met the HD guy and got the bike sorted, we went to the ER. Of course they wouldn't let us in because we're not family :-/ By that time his girlfriend was there, so he had somebody with him. We just didn't want him to be alone. We had the security guy relay some info, and dude said he'll call us later after they do whatever they have to do with him.
That was a pretty good scrape on his helmet. If he wouldn't have been wearing it, I'd prolly be telling you I just saw our friend die.
Bottom line is - you don't have to be going fast to be killed on a bike. That whole "I don't wear a helmet because I don't want to be a vegetable" argument don't mean shit to your family if they're burying you over an accident that happened going 30 mph. Sure, if yer going 55 things are gonna be harsher, but this just goes to show - HELMETS SAVE LIVES!

Mystical Robot :-
When I first started getting serious about playing I would record myself every time I'd pick up the guitar. Weeks and sometimes months later I'd listen back to them and I could then hear what I'd improved on and what needed more work.
Eventually,this approach help me develop my "ear" and become more aware of what I needed to do without having to record it,although I still record myself if I come up with a cool riff or nice melodic run just so I can reference it in the future.Hope this helps.
C'MON AUSSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JOE and band:& T2Jers: I have been deathly sick this past couple of weeks. I ended up with a couple of back to back bacterial infections! This stuff can kill you folks. I'm doing better now but the meds have been almost as hard on me as the infections. I called Buzzy Linhart to see if he still had a copy of ATN's "Rotating Sky" album and he's make us a new safety copy. Some how I ended up with a bummer safety copy. Buzzy cool that way. Matt King: Hey Big guy! Long time no see. Thanks for joining my friends on face book and myspace. That's made it easier to find your music and to share it with other friends. Travis Larson Band back here on 9/11/09.

scubz, lessons like that should only take one time to learn. Good boy! Our friend has a fractured wrist. He has to see a different doc tomorrow about it. They put a cast on it today. Can't imagine how that feels with no skin on the back of yer hand and yer forearm. Geez man! He says he's done with the bike. He has to kids under 6 that he has custody of. Can't F that up for the youngin's!
Damn, I'm tired! I shouldn't have Jager so close to bed. It just makes me wanna stay up and have fun and say F work...well in all honestly I say F work anyways, but I digress...

Axeshredder: That big dude with the Herbalife t-shirt doesn't seem too happy about being in your pic :) Was that taken towards the end of the evening?
Campbell: Ouch! I was bitten twice while a teenager, it's not fun! hope u're feeling better.
Ibanezplyr: Same for you, yeah meds can be over aggresive sometimes.
Roo: In part I agree with your assessment regarding the trip, but hey, if you can do it, why not!!! Enjoy!!
Michelle: Good to hear that your friend is OK, unfortunately most of us humans only learn by experience. Or other times common sense gets overpowered. Thx for sharing.

Glad he's gonna be okay, but feck sake, fer you and Dave to come upon that and know who got hurt...can't imagine yer panic levels!! Sorry babbie. But an okay ending to that particular story.

Dryer buzzin, I can finally finish up and go to bed where I hope to lose consciousness rapidly and fer the rest of the night.....nats all..............

Joe, & the rest of the band,
Tonight (August 24) was AMAZING in Boston!!
That was my first ever major concert and I am very glad that it was Chickenfoot. I was singing along to everything and just wow, the beat and energy was really just moving through that pavilion. If you're ever back in Massachusetts I will DEFINITELY get tickets again.
-Matt

Chad Smith on Chili Peppers, Chickenfoot futures
an excerp......a fantastic one too!
And what about Chickenfoot? After you do the Chili Peppers, are you going to do another record?
“Absolutely! We’re having so much fun and it’s gone so well - there’s no reason not to continue with Chickenfoot. That’s something I want to make very clear: Chickenfoot isn’t a one-off thing for any of us. We’re a band.
“I would imagine during my time with the Peppers that Joe will probably do another solo record, and maybe Sammy and Mike will do something on their own. But as soon as I’m done with the Chili Peppers, I’m diving right back into Chickenfoot. We’re going to outdo this record, too. That’s the plan and I’m sticking to it.”

Punkdude, not bad at all, but you could probably improve some details. I really like that song, hence I'm extra demanding... :)
