Do The Stu: Good point - Steve Morse is a very busy man... not only is he doing the Deep Purple thing, but now he's also involved in the Living Loud project with Don Airey, Jimmy Barnes, Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake...

I agree - it's as if the coming tour with them is the closest you can get to having two out of my three favourite guitarists on stage together! If only Steve Vai was going too!!

To quote Yngwie... It's time to ROCK... now who's hidden my hamburger and fries??! : )

Jazzy Boy - Please stop the namecalling. This isn't kindergarten.

"Is the explanation ok"

No it isn't, as it doesn't really explain anything.

Your original comment:

"We are all built on double standards. Its human."

After that, you said:

"So we have double standards here. Its human to be hyocrytical."

Saying all people are built on double standards is completely different than saying there are double standards here on T2J.

Explain how being hypocritical is "human".

Yeah, that's true... When I'm in Long Beach it will occasionally reach 90, but it's still breezy so it isn't bad. I'm near Sacramento now, though...a few hours inland. It's HOT. ;-)

I think your numbers are a little high...I've heard around 5-7. That's not much better, but still... ;-)

OH MY GOD what a night!!!! The show was great - Fripp was strange, Steve blistering and Joe very mellow. They seemed to have a really good time on stage. Afterwards I got to the meet&greet with Mari and Joe and Steve signed some stuff for me. Deve, Jeremy, Billy and Galen was there also.

It turned out that they were going to Finland the next day and wanted to kill a couple of hours before they were off, and naturally Mari and I offered to help lol. So we got to hang out with Steve's band (except Steve himself, he stayed in the bus with Pia and Fire) at a bar nearby, and when it closed we came back to the tour bus. I wasn't home until 5.30am... and now it's 11.30 and I'm getting ready for work... pretty tired! Mari is on a plane right now, I don't think she slept at all lol!

Hello friends :-)) !!

CLARKY - Happy 1300!!!!

DRAGONCHILD - Robert Fripp was good ?!?!? Let me know :-) !!!

Can anyone please post a link to some HIGH QUALITY (1024x768) Satch wallpapers. The ones I have seen are all pretty crappy quality.

hi all,

if any of you have ever learnt fade to black by metalica

clarky..."learn from examples"..well..when i listen to music..i think i may of told you this before...anyway...when i listen to music i dont just casually listen, i pick up the way the instruments interact..this doesn't come on first listen but over time after alot of listens, each time i listen to a song i sometimes discover something new or something that didn't relate to my song-writing at first but now does. i dont like learning alot of someone else's stuff...i do try to play bits of satch, dt, vai etc...just because its cool...and maybe work from that or something...and also if i learn all the guitar parts, its something away from listening to them for me. when this course is over and when i'm back home i will look at arppegios.

mowlie...yeah...maybe...but at the moment..its not really done anything..apart from some band experience which is very useful but i expected more.

footballs boring...

Hi Joe! I got my guitar signed by you in Stockholm (do you remember i was the little kid) and i wonder if you and G3 will come to Stockholm next year. Cause it would really be a blast!

Hope to see you sometime.

Hello JOE HOW DO YOU DO? I GO TO MILANO FOR VIEW YOUR SHOW ON THE G3 TOUR!!!!2004/07/06 AND I HAVE A DREAM .................................GIVE ME THE AFTERSHOW IN MILANO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

tHANKS FOR THE SPECIAL MUSIC YOU PLAYNG!!!!!!

OPPSSS: MY ENGLISH IS NOT SO GOOD!!!!!I'M AN ITALIAN GUY AND PLAYNG YOUR MUSIC ABOUT 13 YEARS!!!

I BUY YOUR GUITAR SIGNATURE (JS1000) VERY VERY VERY VERY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!

do the stu: who's namecalling? I hope you dont offence to everything just like the way you do here.

What was so hard to explain about double standards and hypocrisy? Humans continue their lives and in the process they change. So one thing that was said in the past does not mean anything to them in the future. One can see that as hypocrytical or 'double standards.'

mick87- hope you have a wonderful day!

Brother al- hope you have a wonderful day as well...

mari & dragonchild- glad you guys had a good time...pictures and stories are expected one you get rested up! :)

anyone going to euro g3- doesnt seem as if robert fripp is getting the best of reviews on this board, but after seeing him in concert at a previous g3 i was amazed! yes his playing is different, but if you go into it with an open mind and realize that it will not be a style like steve and joes you should enjoy it!

Austin- hey how did the tournament finish up? if you havent got enough votes, there seems to be a lot of newbies who should be able to help real quick...

well off to get more coffee and then work, and then getting ready for the trip... leave in about 29 hours... :)

Hope all in Satchland have a good morning....

The Best Chain Letter Award Hello, my name is Lewis and I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by people

who actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a traveling freak show.

Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000?

How stupid are we?

"Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day!"

What a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by Peter in 5 AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower.

Fuck 'em.

If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times.

I don't fucking care.

Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's your own unpopularity.

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel

guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the ass of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward

this email. Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.

Hello Everyone in Satchland!! I should be in London right now but I they wouldn't let me board cause they closed the gate(I waited in line for 15 minutes to checkin.) I should have opened my mouth. lol! I have 4 hours to the next flight. I think I'm sleepwalking....

OMG!! What a night!!! We had so much fun!! The show last night was better than the night before! The meet and greet was better in Gotenburg, Joe and Steve had more time to talk with us. I got some awesome photos!! This has been an experience of a lifetime! I'll do it again! Damn straight! We hung out with Steve's band and the crew. OMG is all I can say! we had so much fun!! Hanging in the bar till 3 am then on the crew tour bus with Dave Weiner and the crew. Kuul bunch of guys. We left them at 5am. They were heading to a boat to get to Finland.

I gave Joe my Dave Martone CD, and suggested him for the next G3. He had heard of him but not his music. He said he was going to listen to it that night. I forgot to ask him what he thought of it last night. I also told Steve and Dave Weiner about the CD so I hope they all get to listen! They do listen to all the demos that people give them. They love it.

I should be going now. I don't want to miss this flight too. I will talk to you all soon. Most likely when i return to the States. I hope to meet up with some UK T2Jer's. Get in touch with Clarky or 962. Clarky do you want my Jeff Beck ticket?

Mick87 - Happy Birthday bro!!!.....

Hello to all friends in T2J-land :-)

TASTEY ~ LOL ~ good one!

marimari ~ hope you catch your flight ok! thanks for the "inside scoop" on meeting the band ~ sounds like a wonderful time was had by all ~ way to go!

Austin, I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but could it be that hypocrisy is a typical human failing? some might even call it human nature, but personally I wouldn't go that far ~ oftimes we are most unaware of our own faults, seeing only the faults of others, and oftimes those faults we see in others are actually our own worst faults ~ when it comes to hypocrisy, most are unaware until it's pointed out to them ~ please, can't we all just get along???

as for Robert Fripp's reviews, I can remember negative reviews for ALL of the 3rd G's ~ personally, I consider it disrespectful to post some blatantly negative comment about a guitarist JOE has PERSONALLY invited to tour WITH HIM ~ buy hey, that's just me, and folks are entitled to their opinions ~ honesty may be a virtue, but so is TACT

and that's all I can say

...PEACE(andidomeanthat!)...

Do The Stu Any spider swallowing isn't good spider swallowing lol. :-)

Mari Wow I can't wait till G3 birmingham now :-)

you know, when a discussion is going along here, people are still getting along.

Its badass to see people really enjoying the G3's. It takes me back to my one and only G3! Novjul, its ok for people give their reviews of their shows, even if it only says Fripp sucked. They paid for it....and its better than reading kiss ass reviews.

Jazzy ~ it's merely my opinion, that's all

*hugs&kisses*
