ZuperDave - is that the brand name for those Pickups (Texas Special Tele's)? and yeah - fingers/touch does have a lot to do with it but it aint the only thing going on. If it were there'd only be a need for one kind of amp.

oh.....

so yer an electric ho that glows in the dark? Izat why yer nickname is tiki, as in u light up like a tiki torch?

The Podcast is HELLAIREOUS !!!! I love the talking shirt. These Podcasts are awesome. To see some of the greatest musicians of our time creating these and having the obvious fun they're having is a joy and well..... it just makes the shows more special as Joe finds more ways to connect with us fans. I love it.

Cheese:All great countrys are ruled by nutters darlin, is there a positive light for anyone? we will have t see

personally i hope the Fed Reserve burns even if i must suffer for it, as humanist i try t be, i cant help but smile as these people stress & so Fuck Em, the workin class have stressed enough....

slan, I agree on the Federal Reserve....lets get rid of it and put it back into the hands it's meant to be in :)

Can I burn wiff u? ;)

T-ho, we all have a purpose in life, or so I've been told...yers is to generate light....much like a glow-worm who's lil bum lights up......not that yer bum lights up, how would I know that...but u get the idear :) Without u, we'd be in the dark and verra cold!

Hiya Mikesb,

Sorry for the misunderstanding (Phil Collins?). Anyway, I liked Mick Taylor's playing too. The Stones definitely went through a lot of changes over the years. I still like "Honky Tonk Women" from my dancing days as a kid!

Cappy--Good news! My Steve finally came out and gave me a hug! I was reminded his life changed completely when he was layed off from a company he worked for for 21 years. He has been sending out resumes online for 4 years and has been getting LUKE WARM TO NO RESPONSES. He works at The Home Depot and keeps telling me it's a survival job until he finds a document control, archive or library tech job.

Thanks for the insight into the world of Steves!

hi guys,

Just to advertise a friend of mine, nothing like a pure artist but but fun my friend making fun my friend website

tikimon - It's cool to see you mention Jonny Lang. I was just listening to Lie To Me in my car yesterday.

He's awesome...I saw him open for Aerosmith back in 1997, at my first concert ever. He opened for Aerosmith again at a show I saw in 1999, but then it never worked out for me to see him until last year. I think he'll be at the Experience Hendrix gig I'm going to in a few weeks, though.

No one died in that collapse, so I don't see much of a conspiracy. I guess you could argue that they brought in explosives to bring it down on its own after the fires started, but so what? There were government offices there and maybe it was just a precautionary measure...I don't see what they would have needed to cover up. If the video is trying to convince people that the government orchestrated the main WTC attack, well, they would have removed all incriminating evidence from WTC7 well before then.

And lastly...that building didn't collapse until 8 hours after the other two. If it was all a conspiracy, why wouldn't they have brought that building down closer in time to the other two?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for thinking for yourself and everything...it's just that in my mind most conspiracy theories have a lot of fundamental problems.

"Eddie started playing Steve's "Luke" model through Steve's amp and he sounded just like.....Eddie."

That's so true... There's a note from Joe somewhere on T2J where he comments on the Sevilla gig he did with Steve Vai and Brian May in the early 90s. He says he and Steve played through Brian's rig but still couldn't get his tone just right. So much of it is in the fingers...

I've already seen the Insurgentes videos, and I've also preordered the album. I guess the album title comes from a street somewhere in Mexico...do you know where that is, specifically?

Michelle--Thanks for the "Mississippi Queen" video

Slanshroom--Are you an official or unofficial teacher? You made my day by educating me about guitar subteties such as volume and tone. My ears are the better for hearing softer sounds that slowly build up.

This message place is making my mind reel!! That's REEEEL! I am overwhelmed by all the great info here.... will need to retreat to get my house and head sorted.

Has anyone given a listen to Santana's "All that I am"? My faves are "Just Feel Better" and "Trinity"

Steven Tyler always pours all his being into a song and "Just Feel Better" is no exception.

Kirk Hammett, Robert Randolph and Carlos sound heavenly together.

Does anyone know anything about the band THREE DOORS DOWN? My nephew said they are his favorite band.

Maritime--I love the fact that you have been playing guitar for 1000 years. You old country people have been living and learning for at least a bizillion years compared to us US Americans.

AND I STILL HAVE MUCH TO LEARN IN THIS LIFE!

GoldenGirl2.... Hello...... You mentioned Steven Tyler. To me he is one and I think always will be one of the best male Rock vocalist ever. Along with Hagar, and Plant....these three to me are the best you'll ever hear. The way Tyler sings Back In The Saddle the hair raises up on my neck. That cool snarl in his voice is perfect for Aerosmith and for Rock.

Have A Great Week End Everyone !!!!

I think I'll watch Laurel Canyon Sat. night.....Thanks Austin !!!!

hey joe, Saw you in edmonton Alberta oct 4th/08, amazing show, next time dont wait 15 years to come back ok!!!.. I had my tickets stolen along with my JS1200 and JS1000, and whammy pedal the same day, but, managed to get tickets from a scalper for 400$, although ticks were 60$...but it was worth every penny..I Still havent found my guitars, may never ever find them again, i surely will save up for a couple more, because i am loyal to the JS series, they are perfect for me.
