About OZZFest: ....

Since 1996, OZZFest has been a virtual breeding ground for rising bands. The festival has been instrumental in igniting the careers of platinum-selling artists like System of a Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Incubus, Slipknot, Queens of the Stone Age, Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Lacuna Coil, among others. It was cited as "one of rock's biggest juggernauts" in the cover feature of Sunday's New York Times' "Arts & Leisure" section (6/25/06). ....

Do The Stu I couldn't tell you which song was substituted for what. I was caught up in the moment and don't remember the songs or the order. What I do remember is the 1st song of the EOC tour. I'll try to paint the visual for all to see what I saw that night.

As the lights go down we barely hear the beginning chords strummed for Not Of This Earth the crowd is going nuts. It's still dark and we can't see anyone on stage yet.

Then Jeff starts in with his beat and the light shines on him. Then Stu is illuminated and he is playing his bass line, while swaying like he does. (He's doing the Stu) A few bars later the light shines on Eric as he's playing rhythm. Finally the song kicks in and Joe walks out in black with his shades on, smiling at everyone and just taking command of the stage and the crowd that is like puddy in his hands.

Puddy - is that like puddy tat? Or silly puddy? Lol , sounds like a wonderful experience with Joe.

Axe - good news from Joe re the 2nd Foot CD. In another interview he said he is touring Europe in October on a solo (think I said it on FB) so lucky buggers in Europe have some Joe coming up. All Aussies have fingers crossed he swings by on his way home.

Hey Joe...

Hello Joe and everyone else on the board from SINGAPORE! :D

Check out Rosli Mansor - A local rock guitar instrumentalist who counts Joe as one of his playing influences! He just launched his second album 'Deeper Than Purple' on the 3rd of April 2010.

I'm proud to be his photographer because I think Rosli has that special something. If you guys have the time, please take a while to find out about him and his music at his Myspace and his personal website !

Singapore isn't exactly as receptive towards instrumental music as the USA and other parts of the world, so it isn't easy! I'd really appreciate it if you guys (especially Joe!) just have a listen, and tell me what you think! What you like (or not), and constructive criticism is always welcome!

michelle - That's an awesome video...thanks for sharing it. Joe is so shy, hiding behind that big acoustic guitar like that! ;-)

The show opening as you describe it is what we got on the opening night of the EOC tour in Sacramento, except the song was Time. That was my first Satch show, and man was it awesome. Stuuu played Linus And Lucy during his solo, too.

Mornin' peeps!

Dave Matthews music always makes me happy :-) I love when it comes over the radio at work.
