Thanks for that link, anibur. That dispute goes back a few years...the guy suing Sammy is an ass, plain and simple. He was the original developer of the club in Fresno, but he pulled a lot of stupid stuff that just shows he doesn't know anything about what he was getting into. Check out this dress code (from here) that was in place when the club opened. It's a beach-themed restaurant, but the guy won't let you wear sandals or tank tops? That upset a lot of fans, as you can imagine, and after Sammy heard about that he pulled his name from and cut ties with the restaurant almost immediately.
Fresno has been friendly to Sammy for years and years...Van Halen recorded their live Right Here, Right Now CD/DVD there in the early 90s because they have such a fanbase there. Anyone with half a brain should have been able to run a club there and turn a profit. This guy is an idiot though...he acted like a jerk and lost a lot of money, and now he wants to sue Sammy to try to get it back.
Here are two links from a few years ago with more background info:
Hagar distances himself from Fresno Cabo Wabo
Plans to rename Fresno's Cabo Wabo
Sorry to kind of go off on this, but this story really bugged me when it broke a few years ago. I can't believe this guy thinks he can sue Sammy over it.
...Austin...

Do The Stu- Thanks for posting the info......I had read about the suit yesterday and I was wondering what the deal was....your info puts a whole new light on the subject. Makes a little more sense to me now. The dress code strikes me as being a bit silly..... I can't see gangs wanting to hang out at a Cabo Wabo & no flip flops and tank tops ..what de heck....
I could see banning CROCS ....
nobody should wear CROCS LOL
(although my hubby does...cringe) ;-)

I know this may be kind of late, but everyone knows the intro improv from Time Machine in "Live In Paris". Has anybody listened to it as they slowly drifted off to sleep??? Not the whole song, but just the intro.
wow.
That is some amazing stuff. You're gently falling asleep and feeling the peaceful music slowly drift you farther into the that sleep. You should really try it one day. It just makes you feel so comfortable as you fade into dreamland.
Kind of a random statement, but when I listened to the concert, before I went to bed, I would fast forward to Time Machine. And I just listened to it again the other night. It just amazing to listen to as you fall asleep.

Hello joe :), i have a question, i don't mean to be disrespectful, or scratch any scar, you had a song which i love "if i could fly" which had some legal problems, and i heard you came to an off court agreement, is that why you never perform this song live? or at least i've never seen any performances of this song.
Before i go, i just want to say i am a huge fan, i play guitar also about two years playing now, you're my idol and my inspiration, i just love your music and could listen to it forever! Keep doing what you do best and rock that guitar out!.
Hope to hear from you.
Cristhian.

Joe, I loved your new album, it's really deep and full of your personality. Solitude, Winds In The Trees, and God Is Crying are the best songs of the album. Solitude its like the second part of Baroque, loved it!
I was hopping you would come to Halifax!!!
Keep rocking as you do !

Yes js1200js1000, the meet & greets are not for the working class. Still I have a pic with Joe and an autograph; I just waited 6 hours outside the venue like fans used to do, until Joe showed up.

I almost flipped my lid when I saw the shirt Joe was wearing in this Video, I have the same shirt and it's a favorite of mine.
It's funny to think that at the time when Surfing came out I was a kid collecting Silver Surfer comics, then one day my dad comes home with a CD with the Silver Surfer on the Cover. My Mind was blown.
I still have that shirt, I think I'll wear it to the show in December.
P.S. I think I listened to Wormhole Wizards at least 20 times in the last two days. It took the longest for me to get into this song and now I can't stop listening to it it's so Epic.

I have seen this vid recently but watching it again I notice that
when the camera scrolls down the white board of songs God is Crying is crossed out. Seems a little insane but I think the song found a new better home in the end.

aahh, heavy sighs...
So they are in the venue right now basking in Joe's genius, stellar musicianship. Im sooooo envious. Just dying that I gotta wait till Jan.
Man, it kills me, bands always seem to start in the European countries first. No offense to you guys, but it drives me crazy.
BUT......I Wish all a wonderful time at the shows and meeting Joe :)
Geeez-------ok, im beginning to worry with the posts about VIP not incuding a ticket or whatever. HUH?? Yeah, this working class chick did NOT pay $300 just to do the meet n greet. Which IS a wonderful thing, but I coulda swore when I bought the package, my 2nd row seat was included. It better be or I will come un-glued.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yeah, Scubadaz- Thats's the one! Thanks for that vid. Whoosh! Off to go practice that now.....
I love his hat.
And once again......those eyes'es.
Thud.

T, thanks for the vid! I love that one. I still laugh my ass off at the CF vid when Joe is "snoshing". Dunno why that hits my funny bone so hard, but it always does. I can't even write it without giggling. lol!
Best of luck for a speedy recovery for TJ Lavin. Dude took a nasty, nasty fall. Those guys are built tough, so hopefully he'll be right as rain in a few months.
This song is so heavy, yet Steve is so light and fluffy..
And now...I'm the hell outta here!

JS1000----Yeah, im a bit confused with that too. Ok, yeah, got seat i know my eyes don't decieve me. But that email message to Blue Moon, the one he got just before the show, when i read it, me got very confused. Gonna go back and read the package details again. lol ,....yikes
It's true, he does seem to post on his Twitter account more than here. I would guess that he gets a bit frazzled maybe with all the messages here, wanting to read them all, but no time too. ?.And Twitter messages have to be really short, so perhaps he doesn't feel so stressed out to go thru those. I know I would feel less stressed!
Twitter is really cool in that you can set his messages to come straight to your phone as a text message. Very very cool ;)
