Michelle and Austin---Interesting stuff about Bass players. I've noticed that Joe has mainly worked with Stu Hamm and Matt Bissonette. It's a surprise to see him with Dave LaRue who I think of as Steve Morse's bass player. A pleasant surprise! And what a playing style!
I'm not that familiar with Matt. I love the way Stu plays......he really brings a trio together and I enjoy his steady style.
Two other bass players of note are Billy Sheehan who I think of as Steve Vai's bass player and Mike Daane who I have heard on Andy Timmons' album Resolution.
Glitz Man--Hope your running goes well.....have fun!
Peace Lily--Thanks for sending your vid links......great memories of Joe and learning for relatively new fans like me.

and that over 55 thing was jus a random news fact with no thought or incentive toward anyone just passing it on since lots of oldies here.. right?

Uncle roy---Do you think you'll try for the job offer or no? I hope the pay is reasonable.
Jobs in California are few and far between, at least in my area.

I liked Dave Larue quite a bit. He seemed really engaged in the music and really played well with Jeff. It's funny, because you watch the G3 in Tokyo when Dave L was playing with John Petrucci and it looked like they had no chemistry at all. I don't know if Dave was a last minute fill in or what.

Slanshroom: Thanks Roy. Hope you get the guitar job/gig. You deserve it!
Glad to see Canada got their first gold in the Olympics (on their home soil). I'll miss it tonight due to work. I wanted to see if the Chinese pair (Shen & Zhao) will get the gold in pairs figure skating. I'm also rooting for the other Chinese pairs and the couple from Germany. Russia won it too many times; it's time for another country to win it. Best to all the athletes.

I don't agree with La Rue not having chemistry with Petrucci... It's just that JP's music has so many odd time signature changes, you have to be awake and count all the time. Besides, recreating those tunes for a trio had Dave play a lot of unison and harmonized lines with JP, that ain't no easy task, specially in a bass where the neck is so much bigger... Watch the DVD again, Dave is locking up with Portnoy so JP can shine, and he did a wonderful job at it...

Slanshroom- RE; fishing chocolate biscuits out the DVD player.... ;-) Da good ol days ..when my boy was small he would put all kind of things in the VCR ...... toast , crackers..etc. now he's almost grown up......those days do go by sooo FAST ( seems like yesterday)...............
Good Luck with yer red tape issues too.
GG2- Your welcome for the links and yes ..... a good source of learning for newbies 'cause I am one too. I can't stop watching Joe links.......so much to catch up on and so little time.... And on the age issue, I think age is just a number ...look at Joe he's more active than most teens ......... I wonder if he's still eating vegan? Seems to be working for him.....
Blue Moon - I too am curious bout the friend "pissing" Dave off........you must fill us in on the details.
Glitzman- Way to go!!!!!!!!!!

Slans,
Good luck with the geetar teaching. I wish you get the job.
If I were 30 years younger and living a happy student live, I would apply for the rookie guitar class, if you were the teacher.

hugsamuchilus - all good things come to those of us who wait right? Mine has to make it to Melbourne so I'm sure you'll get your DVD before me.
mikesb - great Canada gold there, and of course we got the silver....the fact that Dale is a Canadian skiing for Australia is beside the point we grab whoever we can haha.
Glitzy - well done on the run buddy!! Great result. I, too, love the Olympics (well, all sport) so I'm enjoying the coverage, looking forward to Torah Bright's performance especially. My joey number 2 was born 12 years ago this Thursday and it was fantastic cos the Winter Olympics were on and I was able to watch it for the whole 2 weeks with my new little baby in the wee hours.
slan - great news about the job, congratulations. I wish you could teach in Melbourne I'd be your number 1 student (as in most need of your help). If you get any 40's ish women come in wanting to learn please be extra patient and charming with them :0).
Michelle - cool Satch site thanks for that link.

I like Stuuu the most (big surprise there), followed by Dave LaRue. Matt Bissonette is wonderful, a great bass player and a nice guy, but he's my least favorite of Joe's bassists. However, I think Joe and Jeff both play better when they're with Matt than when they're with anyone else...some of the shows from that era are among my favorite Satch gigs.
hybes - I'm still looking for full-time work. I'm sending out more resumes now than I was a few months ago, which I see as a good sign as far as the economy goes. I'll find something soon...
And about Dave LaRue, he also played with John Petrucci on the 2001 G3 tour...so the two of them do have some history together. There may be other connections, but Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess played keyboards in the Dixie Dregs for a bit in 1994. Dave LaRue has been their bassist since the late 1980s.
Ethn Hayabusa - Cool story about Steve Morse...do you have a link to the interview? I'd love to read it...
michelle - That's a very cool site...it's a bit outdated, but there's a ton of great info there. Thanks for sharing...
Listening to: Rush - Signals (current song: The Weapon)
