Everyone - Thanks so much for the great response to The Dark Lord and His Humble Apprentice, I really appreciate the opinions. I have always enjoyed expressing myself through music and this is one of my first pieces that really did it, albeit that it expresses my star wars nerdiness.
Do the Stu - I'll be looking out for those, I'm also an amateur astronomer in my spare time (I got the telescope to search for the death star really) but I really enjoy a good meteor shower, I hope Leonids this year aren't clouded over.
Ranjack - OMG, I actually made one of those a few years ago, or attempted to, that is so weird that I had the same idea. Mine worked by having "teeth" that you could put in or remove to tune strings, it worked in principle but left a nasty buzz on the strings that I could hardly tolerate, I'm glad someone actually took that project up who has the ambition to make it real. Funny thing is that I made that two years ago and I had never heard of that device until today...great minds think alike as they say.

Argh...I went to a park at the top of a hill to watch the meteor shower, and there was a security guard there telling people to go away. If the guard is already there, why not just let people watch anyway? His presence alone would keep people from doing anything stupid/illegal/destructive.
Oh well...it's kind of cloudy tonight anyway, so I wouldn't have seen much of anything (or at least that's what I'm telling myself).
Blue_Moon - Haha...if you're looking for a "little Austin" you're at least 15 years late. I've always been very tall.
burly - I've met Dave Weiner a few times after gigs over the years. He's one of the friendliest, most talkative and "normal" musicians I've met...I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that he's also the youngest.
michelle - "I'm also hoping for no massive hangovers."
Ha! Good luck with that...!
ranjack - Very cool! I remember seeing something similar a few years ago (a capo that would only affect certain strings), but I don't think it let you play behind it easily/at all.
I think it'd be awesome for someone to throw a few of those on a double- or triple-neck guitar and go crazy with some two-handed tapping.
WhammyFreak - Whenever I finally move away from big cities, the first thing I'm going to do is buy a telescope. Where do you live, if you don't mind my asking?
I've always wanted to drive out to somewhere like Joshua Tree Park to watch a meteor shower, but it's tough to get everything to line up perfectly (a good meteor shower during a new moon, preferably on a weekend). The Leonids fall during a new moon this year...I hope I've found a new job by then, but if not maybe I can make it work.

Do the Stu- One of the nicest down to earth musicians I 've met, Steve Plunkett ( Autograph) I accompanied a friend who was running lights for another local band.. who was opening for Autograph. Hung out with Steve for a good while. It was kinda like he was really glad to just sit down and talk to someone. They were pretty worn from months of touring. This was sometime I believe in late 84 - early 85.

Humpday? OK.........
Pip - great vid from SBE - you had such a great spot it's a shame the photographer kept getting in the way.
Scuby - bad luck mate, the next one definitely.....
Axe - yes I think the white T shirt was Bryan Adams. Funny to see Eddie in the bowling shirt too.
Speaking of funny, I did LMAO with the Una Noche a Sevilla DVD (some lovely person just sent it to me) Joe is in the torn jeans, the black boots and jacket and Steve Vai comes out looking like he's in KISS.
roo - forgot to say congrats you lucky bugger, that's great you got tics to a show, now you can say hi from Skippygirl in person right????? Thanks mate!

Humpday - not to be confused with having a hump (is that an English expression only maybe?), or having THE hump....
Do The Stu - absolutely (EP 7-9). There used to be far more detail for those three episodes on that official site, but the emporer being able to transfer from body to body idea stood out as cack from the start. It is hinted at I suppose (in EP3). R2 being able to fly, yep forgot that: lame! It needed explaining away at the very least.
I really don't like the re-made ending of 6 with Hayden's Anakin as a Jedi ghost. Anyways...
That's plain dumb (the security) but I guess that happens a lot. Shame you missed it. I guess there'll be some stuff online later
Um, are you still sending me an email with a bass video?
Axeshredder - thanks for the vid of the tuning. Interesting stuff! Now we've got the spider capo too... bet they don't work together
Blue Moon - I have moments, now and again. I think Tseu... Tsuen.... the fireworks one ;-b should be on the front page, it's V V cool! Tseunamagemic (spelling) Fireworks? Can't check, no access to Youtoob
Burly - how you doin? Itching for another NASCAR run? Dave seems pretty cool, his ROTW and other work is great. Met him once breifly in 06, very easy to talk to. Stu has a cool podcast from Italy up on Youtoob at the mo
Michelle - you sure it wasn't him you drove by? Never doubt the initial thought, it might be right - it's how I met Joe first time (explain that later). Cool that you have met him, I remember you saying now. Nice pic too
Scubadaz - did you hear your backing vocals ha ha? That would have been a great experience (the tiger). Robbed you was! Shame about the job, anything else lined up? Can you give Tesco a nudge (outside of the agency)?
Skippygirl - pretty sure humpday meaning middle of the week - so you get over the hump and are headed to the weekend. Guess I could look it up.
If I manage to get any kind of usable audio out of Aveneida you'll then see a slightly bigger problem with photographers....
P.S Scuba & Skip - in one of the videos posted this week Sammy mentions the SBE gig again... I guess it stood out for him... maybe standout is the wrong saying for being hit in the head with a drum tho?
Cheese101 - you're a bit quiet? Glued to twitter maybe.... *waves*
... who can't format.... yep, me as usual....

Whether or not they like the sound, they just lie there and endure...Do you know how strong Wolf is?
Pip- Correct on the "Hump" day definition. All downhill from Wednesday.

Keniko - nice vid!
It was Michelle's "Bitten by the Chad" video where Sammy reminds us of the dangers of working with Chadders
This one ere
Michelle - ..... in relation to driving past (possible) Dave weiner & the first time Joe and I met.... a few mates & I had been hanging out in London & joked it was Joe every time we saw someone that looked remotely like him
Then as we headed to the gig...... I spot two figures in the crowd... & who should it be but little lost Joseph & his friend Mick
So always worth a double take :-)

Axeshredderjc: Nice link on the first guitar stories. Mine: a elecrtic sears silverstone with amp. I got it from my oldest brother for 100$. I did have a love hate with that one. Broke it into a few thousand pieces years later. My first good guitar, a Hondo 2 pro acoustic which I traded in for a Ibanez "Dove" acoustic with help from my middle bro for a b-day. Cool stories! Thanks.

Hi Joe. Have you ever thought of making a scary, Halloween-like insrumental? Something that has to do with being alone in the dark. Really scary and evil sounding with weird noises like whispers and footsteps. It would be awesome with your advanced technical guitar skills and equipment.

Skippygirl: will do, if I get the chance. Meetngreet are apparently really scarce due to the logistics.
Do the stu: CHICKENCA! Woohoo! Who else is going to berkeley and/or universal city? Let's catch up! I heard cosmic_ape is a possible?
Also, Lego starwars game - r2 can only fly a short distance at a time, maybe it was too far?
Hey, I got my waves dev account last night and just getting used to it. Hope it can do what I want to try.
