Glitz, my input on Facebook - I don't have one. lol! #1- I didn't want to talk to the people I went to high school with when I was in school. ----

Hi JR.... *waves madly* :) Hope yer lovin Arizona! Yer pic with yer good buddy after the show was lovely :) We so love our chelle, lol!! She keeps the place lively!

Joe's gonna be on tv!

"VH1 Classic Returns With Season Four of the Hit Original Series 'That Metal Show'

Special Guests This Season Include Dave Mustaine, Joey Kramer, Accept, Winger, Joe Satriani, Scott Ian, Pearl Aday and many more..."

Well clutch my pearls and call me Mathilda - look who it is!!

Hi JR!! I REALLY hope you make it to the show. Joe doing Hendrix is about as good as it gets - for Joe and planet Earth! lol! Zen for sure! I'll wait for the follow up of yer follow up. Enjoy the weather. We're back to freezing our yaya's off!

I'm watching the movie " Michael Jackson - This Is It". WOW!!! What a feckin genius he was! If you haven't seen the movie, rent or buy the video. It's amazing really. Even better on a surround sound system. I didn't really realize how much I dig MJ's music, his vision, and his genius.

Ethn Hayabusa / death cube k - That was kind of my point about Guitar World. If you're looking for an unbiased review, you won't find it in a guitar/gear magazine that's 50%+ ads. Satch has guitars, picks, straps, pedals, and until recently amps in that magazine. This isn't an attack on Joe...it'd be the same with guys like Steve Vai or Eddie Van Halen.

As for his complaints to VOX...we don't know who he tried talking to, and if he even went about that correctly. It's like when people are upset about their ticket packages and they complain about it on here instead of going to Fanfire. Talking to the wrong people usually won't get anything done.

Anyway...I play bass, not guitar, so I've never used any of Joe's pedals. Of the few BBW reviews I have seen, the majority of them have been positive. If I were looking to buy the pedal, that YouTube video wouldn't be enough to make me get something else instead. But would I do a little more research? Probably.

The goofy look wouldn't normally bother me, but...do you think they'd be uncomfortable for someone (me) who wears glasses?

And...the sun is out in SoCal today! I went for a jog out on the beach this morning...

Life is good. After spending most of yesterday puking my guts out with a stomach bug, my wife got us hooked up with a broadband connection. I'm happy to say that we have finally joined everyone else in the 21st century ;)

McDave, now you can watch my Chickenfoot video that has over 4,000 hits since May. That should make you feel better :-)

The guys were all at a deer camp. No one wanted to room with Bob, because he snored so badly. They decided it wasn't fair to make one of them stay with him the whole time, so they voted to take turns.

The first guy slept with Bob and comes to breakfast the next morning with his hair a mess and his eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? "He said, "Bob snored so loudly, I just sat up and watched him all night."

The next night it was a different guy's turn. In the morning, same thing--hair all standing up, eyes all bloodshot. They said, "Man, what happened to you? You look awful!" He said, 'Man, that Bob shakes the roof with his snoring. I watched him all night."

The third night was Fred's turn. Fred was a tanned, older cowboy; a man's man. The next morning he came to breakfast bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. "Good morning!" he said. They couldn't believe it. They said, "Man, what happened?" He said, "Well, we got ready for bed. I went and tucked Bob into bed, patted him on the butt, and kissed him good night...

Bob sat up and watched me all night.

michelle :- LMFAO!!!!! Thank you sooooo much for making my day start out with that. Feckin' brilliant!!! Go to fatapes bar and help yourself to anything you like.Cheers!

scubadaz - Thanks for that link. His post is nine months old and maybe the site has been designed since then, but a "discussion forum" is not a "tech support forum." And he mentions sending an email, but that's not the address listed under tech support on VOX's contact page. I don't have anything against the guy, but I'm not surprised he didn't get a response.

On a more serious note, here's a good video to watch:

Grace Potter and Joe Satriani - Cortez The Killer

Did you catch any of their other gigs, either in the spring or summer?

Anyone ever watch a Joe Bonamassa DVD? I like his stuff. He's unique in the fact that he switches back and forth between straight up rock and blues.

Why am I takin' guitar lessons when I can't show up? effing depression........I'm fighting and fighting and I'm feeling so tired...have ta keep on fighting......I'm exhausted.........Just have to keep on.......going......;-(

GoldenGirl2 :-Please do not be offended by this,as I DO understand where you're coming from. Over the years of living with two close relatives who have suffered with depression, I have learned that depression is a state of mind that occurs because we ALLOW ourselves to feel that way.Take control of your thoughts and you can conquer depression.I have seen it happen personally.NO, it's not easy,but like everything thing else we learn in life,the more you do it the easier it becomes.Hope this helps in some small way.Cheers.

I don't think this has been posted here yet, but Metallica fan Morgan Harrington's remains have been found (Washington Post, Blabbermouth, Metallica).

Sad news, but hopefully finding her body will make it easier for the authorities to track down her killer.

Some better News
