Quote of the day: "It is not the disease but neglect of the remedy which generally destroys life." From the Latin

ToneZone: Thanks...I've never taken theory despite being surrounded by music ppl...

It's pretty ok here at Arts, but the system just sucks. Can you believe they actually did away with our mid-term break without consulting the student body at all? It was annoying to say the least.

You're in which year?

Narface: My sentiments exactly. It's a bit of a shame that it took the mainland this long to admit the WHO ppl, but then, the damage is already done.

Joe, thanks for being there...Keep on making great music. Could it be rock, heavy, electronic, jazz, blues, neo-classical or whatever you 're in mood to create, keep on making it 'cause in the end, it's just music, and that's the real thing man...Like a bunch of humans and animals out there, I simply enjoy the "soul childs of your creativity"....just in phase with soul, not universal but certainly an interesting and endless world to travel in. Love you guy...You're one of the too few sincere persons living on the "mother earth". You're not the one (I mean a "best musician chart" make no sense)but we all thank you for just being Joe...

I'm NOT an english language expert but I hope you just understood what I did like to say. "Read you soon"...

trutina: There are a lot of weird ppl out there....

Trutina---Punches as fast as he plays! That would be something to fear. But remember, he's got a real light touch, so there wouldn't be much behind them lol

LOL!Almost choked on my coffee, Tru!

So, Trutina, you are in IN, eh. I'm in Ft Wayne. Laters,

Yngwie plays the same 7 note picking patterns over and over fast. Yngwie plays the same sweep arpeggios over and over. He thinks he's the greatest guitarist in the world. He criticizes other guitar players of their guitar playing because they don't do it how it should be done according to Yngwie. Example: The Might Turtle Head is "out of tune". Micheal Romeo copied Yngwie's style and doesn't credit him for it. He says Vai is better than Satriani.

Even most teen guitarists learn there is no "best" or "better" guitarist in the world.

Yngwie's not even good. He can pick and sweep like a machine but can you tell a machine to write you a beautifully moving piece of music? Or can you tell it to perform a certain amount of tasks per second?

editd: Wow...okay...somebody told me the more Malmsteen plays the murkier his notes become. That true? I don't listen to his music, see...was wondering if it was worth it

Revised quotes of the day, or I guess really, it's a new day somewhere every hour so, quotes of the day for whomever just entered tomorrow:

"The greatest truths are the simplist: so are the greatest men." Anon

"Opinion, the blind goddess of fools, foe to the virtuous, and only friend to underserving persons." Chapman

"There's nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Shakespeare

More news: The Centers for Disease Control has determined that the common cold is caused by a tall man who carries around a big bag of germs.....The Mafia has killed an information clerk because he knew too much. His replacement, appointed today, says he has no further information.....The owner of a Florida massage parlor has been arrested by police. "There weren't any serious violations," said the officers, "she just rubbed us the wrong way."

The Darwin awards are great! Did you read the one where a ranger came upon a scene where lots of people were queueing up to see a bear which had wandered onto the road, and he saw one woman smearing something gooey onto her baby son's face. "What's that?" He asked "It's honey, of course." "Why are you smearing honey on your baby?" "So I can film the bear licking it off his face!"

death cube k..well...perhaps you could explain to me whats happening with it then please?

artanis1..what have you got against keyboards??

Dammit, I was going to go and cut the shredz for "Missing You" (my T2J CD tune), but my mates computer bummed out on him. Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday...

Gig was a nightmare. Too much vox in the monitors and not enough of anything else, and we tried playing three new songs which we didn't really know well enough. Nevermind - it wasn't a particularly significant gig. You win some you lose some. Such is life...
