Thanks McDave, Bil, Narface, Austin, Greg, & Miguel. So it's been a year with the new forum? Joe posted 28 times, but I'm not complaining. That's a decent amout for someone as busy as Joe...although more BLUE would be nice :)

Dave, it's early here (near4:30 p.m.) and I'm on my way to work (supposed to start at 4:30 LOL!), but I will certainly raise a glass to your dear ol' dad this evening :) Cheers!!

Thanks Alexandre :)

Here's to Joseph Alec Watkinson! Cheers mate :) Um...howz about I just dedicate the whole glass! lol!

Mowlie - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Today while driving to work I put on my EOC 2000 Tour tape I made from the set list of that tour. I haven't listened to it for a few weeks. Let's just say, I drove to work with a serious grin on my face listening to TIME. That song kicks my ass every time! LOL!

Happy Father's Day to JOE and all the dad's out there in Satchland. Hope you guys have a great day :)

HEEEYYY! Yes, I remember Chris B, although I always referred to him as Chrispy ;) I haven't heard from him in a long time, so I have no idea where he is or what he's doing.

Ahhh, my little Jelly Man, your so young and foolish! *she said as she threw her head back and laughed*

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!

I just seen this new release coming out tomorrow (U.S.). Michael Schenker ~ Arachnophobiac. The band line up as stated on the cd is ~ Michael Schenker Group is: Michael Schenker (guitar); Chris Logan (vocals); Stu Hamm (bass); Jeremy Colson (drums).

THE ONE, THE ONLY, STU HAMM ON BASS! ;-)

STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Is Stu with MSG now?? Cool beans baby! lol! STU CLONE, do you have any news on this?? Will Stu be touring with the band?

Thanks Graham. Sharpies at the ready! lol!

Dragonchild, it could have been Mike Mangini, but I'm not sure?

Graham ~ CONGRATS!

"very strange crap detected.... shields up ! ! ! "

Hey anibur! :)

Aarren, AWM, AWY ~ nice!

Clarky, dude - shields up AND rubber boots on, man! lmao!!

Alex, put as much as you can on your IUMA. I'd like to hear it.

Mike, the Satch Family car ride...holy shit man! I'm just sitting here minding my own bidness *shield up*, then I read your post. Geez man, I had to throw both hands over my mouth in an attempt not to blow my coffee all over my computer! rotf!!! Funny, funny, funny!! Oooooo I hate when that happens! lmao!!!!

Mike, it could be like a trip from The Griswolds Vacation. Joe could be the male version of the Christie Brinkley character. LMAO!!! That's one of the only parts I remember from those movies. lol!

Today I watched part of the Zeppelin dvd again. Disc 2 - Earls Court (1975) is so incredibly amazing. Everything! The singing, the instruments, the flow and energy of the songs... Mind blowing to say the least. The entire dvd is killer, but when they strip down to acoustics, man o' shit, ya gotta love that! Then when Page starts In My Time Of Dying with that killer riff, it reverberates deep down in your soul and brings back so many years of memories with that tune as the background music. They have to be the best band ever to grace this planet.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JOE!!!

THAT KICKED ASS!!! I love the way you hung on to it at the end!

THAT ROCKED !!!!!!

2 Ton, I still have my Kiss albums. LOL! No need to smash anything. There's always room for more :)

Templar, I've met Joe a few times after his shows. He's such a cool guy. He's humble, funny, and he loves his fans. He's the greatest.

JOE, you should tell us about these side projects like Nascar & Stanley Clarke. You have all kinds of things going on, and nothing is posted here. WE ARE YOUR PEOPLE! lol! We need to know! We love ya man, and we can't stalk you if you don't tell us your bidness. lmao! j/k Anyways, I hope you're having a great time at the race. Did you take ZZ with you?

16 laps to go. Rusty is in 3rd place.

Happy 503 Matt! lol! I remember posting way back then. I wish I knew what year I started coming here? Maybe it was '96? Some of the people hung around, some didn't, but I bet they all still listen to Joe :)

Song of the Week ~ Bron-Y-Aur Stomp ;-) by Led Zep

Goes great with everything! lol!

As for the guitar Joe was using today at the race- I copied Joe's post from when he told us about it...

"Do The Stu, that's a JS1000 painted by Nicholas DelDrago who owns Vicious Cycles in Florida. He is a master artist and a wicked guiatrist as well!...........check out his stuff http://www.viciouscycles.org/index.html....Joe

Matt, nice tune. The melody reminds me of the Skid Row song I Remember You. At 14 seconds I almost expected Sabastian Bach to start singing "I woke up to the sound of pouring rain" lol! Good tune though. Nice & mellow.

Templar, you wouldn't have to tie Joe down. LOL! He'd gladly answer your questions for you. Do you have any of Joe's other videos ~ The Satch Tapes or Reel Satriani? They're older than LISF, but you get a sense of what kind of guy Joe is. His drummer Jeff Campitelli is a sweetheart too. ha! Well, I'm a girl so I can say that, but coming from one of the guys it would sound kinda strange. Stu is a nice guy, and funny too, but I hear he can get moody (although he's always been great when I've seen him). I haven't met Matt or Galen yet, but they seem like great guys too and they have good stage presence. I really enjoyed watching Matt during the last G3 show. He's pretty funny. I hope you get your wish to meet them someday :)

Austin, now I'll correct you. It was the Satch, DT, King's X tour. LOL! I think I've called it G3 before, and I'm sure you've corrected me on it before. It was MATT I was looking at. Ask Richelle!!...uh, I mean Rich! He was in the row behind me. ha! Here's a headlock & a cyber noogie! lmao!! Oh wait, I have to get a ladder....

Still waiting for some BLUE to show up...and no Mr Nick, I don't mean one of your monster links. lol!

anybody got a shovel?

edit: this post has nothing to do with Eddie, Good news Mike.
