Frits - Mebbe I got it completely wrong about the marketing aspect then.

Hiya.......Just got a few moments to post here after spending time with my Steve and tryin' to get the house in order, if that were possible. LOL!

Got to see "Live In Paris" from beginning to end. Joe listens so well, it should be no surprise how well he plays after all his life experiences, including landing in a family of 3 sisters and One brother. With parents, uncles and aunts and 4 siblings to dote on him....need I say more? It seems that way with the youngest......I remember how my older sister doted on me when we were very young and also when I was 11 and my first sister 15 when our younger sister arrived......She was treated like a princess!

Joe really loves his fans! Anyone who meets him can tell his love is unfeigned! And Jeff is so much the same that way! They greet you with smiles at least 6 inches wide! I got to meet Stu as well and he is such a great guy......great "brothers" all! And meeting Christie Campitelli was so cool and unexpected! A night I will always remember at Slims with it's greeting post and posts with built-in trays!

Joe, thanks for the intro to Mermen. Nice tunes!

Hello to Alan Mc-young Blue_Moon and Canadian Cube (of the geometric kind or ungeometric???)

Listening to ITLIS---loving the title track, If I Could Fly, Just Look Up, I Like the Rain (fun lyrics), Searching & Bamboo. I didn't know Joe was into "cooking" and "pedaling" until I listened to Searching! Joe, that song does something to my ears that reaches me like no other! I love the way you did that! ;-)

JS1200 WHAMMY BAR ISSUES. Joe, I don't know if you actually read these posts but I recently purchased a lefty js1200 and I absolutely love it! My question is, how do you keep your tremolo arm from swinging? I want mine to stay put like yours. I've replaced the bushings but that doesn't really seem to help all that much. I'd be forever grateful for your input. Thank you..

I'm in the chat, only have about 15 mins unfortunately due to it being Sunday and many family things to do.....but drop in if you have a minute.

cool checked in just in time. we'll be up late monday night Joe!!

double cool that some of you got to chat with Joe!!

i'm sending my good vibes to your mom michelle. hope she gets well. don't worry about the posts, if you can't lean on your friends then who can you lean on.

I was just in the chatroom a while ago. Skippygirl, Justjoan and Deathcube were there...thanks guys , had fun

I'm supposed to be doing family stuff and I'm still in chat, the fam think I am mad.....

Thanks Scubadaz. I'm not the guy singing and playing though. I'm just the other guy playing the Telecaster. 8P

Creepy! but it happens way more often than anyone cares to admit.

While we're on this subject, I hosted my office's Christmas party last December, and at one point I looked out the window because I heard a car outside. Sure enough, the husband of one of my coworkers was there. Next Monday she pulls me to the side and tells me "my husband asked me who was the kid that looked out the window, right next to Jose..."

McDave & Elp- That is some seriously scary stuff......I should not have checked on T2J right before bed time.........nightmares...LOL

* Michelle- continued prayers and good vibes for VIvian.

Life is good when we can play beautiful guitar with nice technique and make it sing....

Life is bad when you can't follow the rhythm, no matter how good you are technically with your instrument.

Slowly the real Olympic spirit is taking over :-)

For UK taxpayers: Make the pope pay GBP 20 million!

Haven't seen this posted here yet....

Joe at NAMM.

He's at the Vox booth in this one, but this isn't the same vid that was posted here awhile back. Quick shot of what appears to be Joe standing next to an all Vox pedalboard about 20 seconds in. Not sure, but other than his signature pedals, kinda looks like a V847 Wah on the right and a ToneLab in the back??

Sorry to hear everyone is having such a hard time with skyroo. I was a little peeved that they didn't ship my pre-order out until the release date, but I got it on the 6th and was surprised to find that bith the DVD and CD booklets were autographed. The second one I ordered hasn't made it here yet, but I only paid for regular shipping rather than expedited. I will join the group of those who hope that maybe someday this DVD will be reissued so that we can actually watch the concert. The CD's have been playing here non-stop, but I can honestly say I will never watch the DVD again.

I think I had heard somewhere about the DVD was supposed to appeal to a wider audience, but to me it is such a radical change from what the usual audience wants that I kind of feel slapped in the face.

Anyway, I have been watching my other Joe DVD's to soothe my pain, but there is still an empty spot that only LIP will be able to fill. I want to SEE Joe play all of these songs that sound so damn good!

Apparently Football Aid has sent 3200 shirts to Haiti but the 100 Bears shirts have been returned. A spokesman for the Haitians said maybe most of our houses been demolished, we may be starving and half naked but we still have our pride!
