LOL!

This is almost too much fun!

If my last post didn't make sense, perhaps you could familiarize yourself with that wonderful book of knowledge, the DICTIONARY.

I do think we are done.I would rather have a verbal sparring match with Helen Keller.The odds of her speaking anything coherent would be drastically higher, I fear.

JAZZ'D!

Lol, GOOD ONE MAN! Whats next, meet you in the school yard during recess? Don't fret, there is nowhere to go but up from where you are.All you have to do is SMILE!

I tire of you.So now, I shall sing.

*AHEM* Oh, I'm picking out a thermos for you! AND Maybe a barometer too!!!

Isn't Steve Martin just wonderful?I'm sure you agree

Take care, Monsieur Climax...Coitus interrupt..oh, whatever your last name is.

Quote:I love and respect my mother dearly and anyone, I mean anyone using her name as an insult would find me to be a mean prick.

Dude, it's the internet.None of this matters.All you have succeeded in doing is demonstrate your inadequacies in this situation.Your act is just not intimidating, hurtful, or even...literate.To call you childish would be an insult against children everywhere.So I shall call you Joanna. ;D

And it is incorrect to state that I started this.I joined in at my convenience.

Honestly, all you are doing is serving my amusement.Thats right, you are being used.Get mad, yell at the monitor, do what you will, but acknowledge that am I laughing at every pure nonsense-soaked-crumb you throw at me.

Sigh-Ill let it go, I agree, it's not really respectful to carry on this way on Joe's site.So Truce, I suppose.Joe is a big inspiration to me, this is not the place for these sort of things.

BUT For the record, I hate to point out that little was said about your mother at all, if you re-read what was said. "Mom" jokes are so old, they are beyond not funny.however, "Mother-not-hugging"jokes, are funny.

It was a jab at YOU. :D Lighten up.Perhaps if you hadn't insulted many of my FRIENDS here, I would have taken your comments witha grain of salt, but YOU DID insult people here from the get go.Deal with what you have created.

Just being a stickler for details, I suppose.

Back to Joe talk, what do you say?Let's put this behind us.This site is better than other sites, as we have very little of this sort of discourse.It is a very friendly environment here.Let's keep it that way, shall we?

Please don't call my mother a whore.She prefers Prostitute. ;D

This is a PRO NInja web site,frequented by many of my Pajama wearing brothers.You move against one of us, you move against all of us.

I believe the head troll himself, AVARICE's words suit this situation best, allow me to use one of his jokes to put the situation into the best context.

"Knock knock"

"who's there?"

"Go fuck yourself"

Dont ---- --------' Hold -- -- ---- -------

lots of fun.all of their songs should have just been the same lyric:"I'm Steve Perry, and I'm the devil."

quote:"Unless, you rehire S. Perry, and get Hall and Oats to open the tour! "

NOOOOO DON'T SPEAK SUCH ATROCITIES!!!!

Cool, way to be.

ARRRGGGH!

9 damn pages.I'm done reading for tonight.And not a word of it about me.Just not worth reading if you aren't praising ME.

DAMN YOO using my phrase against me, AND SPELLING IT WRONG T'Boot!

It's Gambale'D!

Like, I got Gambale'D upside the head by the Megaman.

Marshmellow?Hmmm...Never heard of that....

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

You mean MARSHMALLOW

I get it.It is all clear to me now.I'm reminded of an ancient eskimo proverb.

AHEM;

....Go fuck yourself.

Your mother likes me just the way I am.

Ok, Ill stop talking about her if she'll stop charging me for "Services rendered"

Yeah, there IS going to be a chat on MSN:

http://vai.com/updates/

damn, 10 pages.

Zach, do you really think Joe soesn't improvise well at the G3s, or were you just trying to ruffle some feathers?I disagree, at any rate.I don't think Vai improvised all that well on those tunes, for my tastes.Its not really his thing anyways.

Whoa...I'm a little confused...Did I miss a post or something?I read every page(I think) and was shocked by Joe's post.It bums me out to think that we have made this a darker place to be, if even only a few days.Joe shouldn't HAVE to ask us to chill.Dude shoudln't have to pay for a place that people fight over trivial stuff over.

I feel bad for contributing to the nonsense.

1-Yes, everyone has a right to an opinion, and a right to express it.Tact is advisable, I would say.for instance, many people here knows me, and knows my thoughts on things like Joe's Setlist, Yngwie, etc.I am VERY opinionated, and have no qualms telling anybody about it.But tact is very crucial.

If Joe asked me, for example, I would tell him that I despise Malmsteens playing, or that I would rather hear Time Machine than Summer song.

BUT I would (hopefully) phrase it in such a way to ellicit a positive reaction.I would think my phrases out in such a way as not to offend.I come here to have friends, and to interact with them.We all have a common interest: the love of Joe Satriani's beautiful music.Aren't we lucky?

I don't think you should stifle your views at all.You don't like Vai, thats fine.I would approach the subject differently.

NOTE:I have said some F'D up things about many guitarists, but again, I am amongst friends, who know me pretty well after these last few years on T2J.I've hung out in person with many guys here, and am in a band with one of them(Graham, sort of, lol).

Point being, I put humor in many of my comments, and these guys (hopefully) know that I am kidding when I make fun of Yngwie, or Dokken, or whomever.Not Steve Perry, he is the Devil, and I mean that :D

2-Which brings me to the second issue Ive noticed that bothers you, our post counts.I think my previous paragraph kind of addresses this one a little, but here is the full view-I have a lot of posts here, and Graham does, and Mike does, and Mark does, and Austin does, and so forth and so on.

Thats a lot of posts of us talking to each other, getting to know each other, establishing connections.Yes Graham can say something in a different way to me,than he would to a new guy, because we know each other very well after all those posts.Its not respect because of the NUMBER of posts, but because of what has been said after all this time in those posts.The CONTENT of the posts.Its like coming into the middle of a long conversation.We don't treat you differently because of spite, or a view of superiority.Its just that we know each other well, and its gonna take a little bit of good interaction before a new person is integrated the same way.

HOPEFULLY all this can be put behind us.We love Joe's Music, can't we just be gratefully that we all have that as building block to enhance this community?

I can clarify further on any points if you like.I have said things here(T2J in general) that I regret, so I hope I don't come off as a holier than thou kind of guy in this posts.I just feel I have learned from my mistakes.

I used to get really drunk right before I would post here, (I didn't post much back then) and my posts reflect some of the mistakes Im talking about.You live you learn.Good luck.

..and breasts.But I do mostly stupid things because of those ;D

Basically, the last thing I would want to do(on your own site no less) is be a source of irritation.I definately fanned some flames, and I apologize.

Jazzy-I don't like every song Joe has, but I figured out that out of all the artists Im into,Joe has the highest % of songs I like, I think it was 76%.Dream Theater and Vai surprised me, I had just around 50% for them I think, actually maybe less.Its funny, because those are my big 3, Satch Vai and DT(And Tool and anything Steve Morse puts out)

Strange things math reveals, eh?
