rdg - dude.. I was not being critical of you at all..lol .. I was completely agreeing with you. maybe my wording was not that great...

Someone offered an opinion to you that EJ was not so hot live for one reason or another... If I understood your post correctly, I think that you felt that this opinion was maybe a little harsh....

I was agreeing with you by trying to point out that some folks really do not enjoy performing live - albeit a pretty mandatory part of being a pro muso...

That last paragraph is not directed at you.. it is directed at the folks that judged EJ in the first place... I think you was trying to defend EJ... I was trying to do the same and back up your comments...

I honestly think that quite often, musicians make for the worst audience..

Clarky: I couldnt agree more with you with regards to that person who slates those who want to learn theory....much love to ya bro!!! If you happen to have time, would you email me the theory posse stuff that you have please??? My email is aarrenmowle@aol.com

Cheers,

Aarren

ok..steve vai and animals...i heard he recorded what the cat said when he shoved something up rhe cats...

tyrant - the last posse was about pitch axis

creativity always wins... some folks just seems to have limitless supplies of this... and no matter how much or how little they know, they still manage to be increadably creative...

theory will not make anyone creative.. theory alone does not write songs... however, theory does unlock more options..

so a lesser creative person could well be a better writer for knowing more just because there are more musical tools to choose from... so you can get the best out of yourself..

you can never know too much..

Okay, phrydom, I've seen your message now. When I posted my last one, it was from school, so I didn't get to see your message. Thanks. (But make up your mind, which song was it? Or did he just get his frend to do it twice, and put one version on each song?)LMAO

Here is an interesting interview of Steve Vai, it goes into some stuff about his cat named Famine and the use of the thermometer...

Cube - I've been hearing that it's going to get better since summertime. More than half a year ago.

guitarspaz: Thanks for the link, pretty cool little interview.

Clarky -- I think this is a case of "the internet shows no body language"

that's the reason why i use way too much smileys :) I even use them in handwritten texts :\ :P

Hey Joe...

Happy birthday JBlaze!

JOE- It's pretty cool that they did an article about you on CNN.

But....

You don't need Grammys to show that you're good at guitar. There are more than 30,000 members on this site that think you are one of the best guitarists, and The Flaming Lips probably don't have nearly as many fans!

JOE- I think it's great that you don't take that stuff to seriusly, I didn't know you've been nominated 12 times, i bet if heard all 12 songs you were nominated for, and the songs that did win, you probably have been shafted all 12, i know the last 3 years you definatley should have won...

how about a BANANA MANGO 3.................

.....Bye.......

Hi! I heard this exellent joke yesterday:

I won't mention anything or anyone in particular for obvious reasons, so it's something like this:

Two men were from two neighbour countries, which had a quite unfriendly relationship (let's call them countries A and B). But these two men somehow happened to be in the same place at the same time when one of them was cleaning a lamp (it's a normal thing to do in this kind of situation) and a blue genius appeared! The blue guy said: "I am now free from this horrible prision! As you might know, the only way I know to thank someone is to ask for a wish, and so I'll ask each one of you for a wish, and it shall become reality!" "You! Ask for anything you want!" And the guy from country A said:" Well, I shall take this opportunity to do something I've allways dreamed of! At our country we hate the people from country B! They pollute our society! They're not even as intelligent as our superior nation! So I want you to build the highest and strongest wall possible all around our country, so they can never come to our country again! Not even flying!" And the genius replied: "Your wish shall now become a reality!" And suddenly a giant strong wall appeared around country A! "Now you! Ask for anything you want!" And the guy from country B said: "Errr... Mr. Genius, is that wall you built around country A really, really high? "Yes, it is!", the genius said. "And is it really, really strong?" "Yes, it certainly is!", he continued. "Impossible to get in, impossible to get out?" "Absolutely!", the genius replied. And after thinking a bit the guy said: "Ok... so fill it with water!"

962 Sorry, I didn't ever insult you, did I? (and since Joe hasn't posted on here for quite a while, this would be pretty measly if we didn't chat to each other. My computer is also screwed by Bill Gates so I can't chat.) Oh well. Again, sorry if I said anything bad. One last request, please don't use the f word so much, because lots of people acess this from places which have filters on them (annoying, I know. So much for free speech.)

Happy 200 to meeeeee!!

One cool thing, on the news, (no, this wasn't C5, it was BBC) they were showing the UN building, talking about Iraq and so on, and in the background they were playing Radiohead. (Okay, so it was one of those electronica/techno-ish things: Push/Pull revolving doors from the Amnesiac album, but it was still kinda cool.)
