Hi Satchland!
moe, "Although I'm very interested in the new G3 that is coming out. I sometimes wonder the wisdom of what songs are chosen by Joe.....For example, why play up in flames? I think there are better songs on that album..... Though choosing Searching is very gutsy, and I applaud going after the harder songs. It also when it comes Grammy time. I am really surprised by the songs that are chosen to represent Joe, I'm not sure if they are chosen, or he chooses them... but it's wierd. Other thoughts: If petrucci was still using an Ibanez... that would be an amazing marketing campaign wouldn't it? If you haven't heard his new solo album, do go and buy it. It's quite amazing. I wasn’t too crazy about Steve's new album except for 2 or 3 songs..."
Interesting thoughts...I guess Joe has a good control of the song selection for his albums specially because they are all so great ;-)...I remember Joe's comment to "Searching" at the "Is There Love in Space" Listening Party (still online by the way). He said something like he was not sure if the record company let him put a ten minute track in a record like this but they loved it!
And sorry to disagree but I think "Up in Flames" is a great song specially played live! With "Is There Love in Space" I
really enjoy more the live versions of the songs than the studio versions more than ever.
About who chooses songs to be submitted to the Grammys...Academy's members and record companies submit songs, not the artist, so Joe has not control at this point.
The new of Petrucci is fantastic...my favorite is "Tunnel Vision". And what are your favorites of Steve Vai's Real Illusions? By the way...welcome to Talk To Joe!
962, "gotta have joe, just to add a little to what Lucy said, "muchos" would be masculine and "muchas" would be feminine, so to Lucy you could say "muchas gracias mis amiga", while to a guy (like me :-p) you could say "muchos gracias mis amigo". I might be mistaken in putting the "s" on the end of "mis", but I believe it's always on there, it's just silent!"
Yeah, you are right. When using nouns in Spanish, you must make sure that you use the correct gender and number when using articles, adjectives...but in the case of the expression "muchas gracias", it's a generic expression, unisex hehe and it's the same form for guys and girls so you can use "muchas gracias" for everybody!
So the correct forms would be: "muchas gracias amiga mía" (for a girl) and "muchas gracias amigo mío" (for a guy) ;-)
Did you see F1 this Sunday? The Alonsomanía continues ;-)
cheese101, hi back Tracie! :-) I got to download the Joe's Seattle 2000 gig, a shame that it's cut but it's OK, mmmmm that "Devil's Slide" is so awesome!!! Thanks again for the link :-)
DelfinoPie, "I've put Robert Fripp's "A Blessing Of Tears" album on my christmas list along with Aphex Twin's "Selected Ambient Works" albums"
Cool, by the way, do you know by any chance which album of Robert Fripp includes the "soundscapes" he performed at G3 2004? I really want to buy some of Robert Fripp's stuff but I would love to begin with the album that includes those pieces, any idea?
gotta have joe, ¡hola Kayla! es un placer enseñarte un poquito más de español :-)
