"Death to all but metal"? Someone let the wylde stallions out of their corral!!! lmao!!!

I like def leppard.....does that mean I'm into cock rock??? Strange!

My Steve and I saw The Flying Scotsman last night......great movie. I can relate to his situation with despicable monster bullies.....shameful! First in elementary school.......briefly in high school and then the corporate world......twisted upside down goons of the lie!! Depression sucks the life out of good people, damn it!!!

Hi, anybody knows if there is any chance to meet Joe during the soundcheck before the performance @ Montreux, next July?

scubadaz - I REALLY like U2, and it's quite an experience to see them live. I saw them twice in 2005, just down the street from where I would see and interview Satch a few weeks later. I was talking to him about the show, and it was one of the few times I've seen his face genuinely light up. Not that he fakes it other times, but you know what I mean...

I'm seeing their Unwigged and Unplugged tour in a few weeks...it's not the same, I know, but it should still be very cool.

Speaking of Def Leppard, someone called a radio station back in the early days of the band when they were first getting airplay, and with a classic redneck southern accent ( which I kinda have too) asked them to play that new guy "Dale Flippard"

My views on Hammet are that he is very creative and shows it on material like just about anything from the Black Album. I was just not a fan of the speed metal days. Of course I was into hair metal, had long hair (when I had hair) I even had a mullet and wore parachute pants, bandanas and japanese print shirts ( in the high school days) I was in to Kiss, Quiet Riot , Motley Crue, Ted Nugent, AC/DC,Foghat and too many to name.

I really do appreciate U2 for their musicality and creativity. I never went out and bought a U2 album,..I don't know why. I guess they got enough airplay to provide all I needed. I'd have to say that I do like U2.

How Does it feel is an Ian Moore original. Austin you probably heard it on the radio. Check out the studio versions. He is good friends with Billy Bob Thornton which is how he ended up on Slingblade. Ian is a little "out there" but hey that's OK.

I'm going to bed early folks, I have been out in the cold wind all day. I wish you all a good week.

Ozzy_Fudd--Thanks for the interview with Joe about his pedals and a little about the ChickenFoot tour.....It's gonna be an interesting summer.

Cube---Interesting to hear that the Edge is a guitarist behind the singer and not a "gunslinger" type who needs to be out in front all or most of the time. Nothing wrong with either kind...just different ways/styles of performing.

What happened to all the sisters in this forum?

Michelle and Tracie where are you? Is Anibur around? Skippygirl---I'm getting to know more chords by heart and getting the changes........slowly......slowly.

Satriella--What's happening?

Glitz Man--I'm doing better this week, but I still wasn't able to see my psychiatrist today.....He called again at about 1 this afternoon to say (yet another) emergency came up and he had to cancel all his afternoon appointments! That's the second time I have had to reschedule an appointment with him because of an emergency! He wants me to call him back tomorrow to reschedule! If psychiatists weren't so difficult to find here, I would find someone else. Tomorrow, Steve and I see a neuropsychiatrist and his epileptologist at Stanford.

As for Joe's CDs....I have 15....I erroneously said I had 14 in an earlier post. I DON'T HAVE Dreaming #11....I think it has been discontinued, The Beautiful Guitar (this is also hard to find), G3 Live 1997, Additional Creations, G3 Live in Tokyo (DVD), and Surfing with the Alien---Legacy Edition.

BTW--Glitz Man---I can use all the help I can get finding the 6 CDs/DVDs I posted previously. Amazon was no help.

Guitarvibes---The Marc Resch book is getting more interesting as I read about how the Dutch made their imprint on early America, the Hudson River valley, New York and New Jersey. Amazing.....your ancestors!

ya know....

Since May comes before June in most parts of da world....

And we already have Chickenfoot tour dates up fer June, not to mention July.....

And Joe sez some cd release shows are gonna happen in the US in May.....

Millie, that was Tracie talking about August Rush. I know...we look a lot alike so people confuse us. lol! As for the Pagoda, it is beautiful, but the city below it is crime ridden and has gotten so much worse since we moved away. I lived there for 26 years. I feel bad for the good people who are stuck there with all the crime. Some 65 yr old dude just got his head bashed in with a hammer and a bat, and that was about 1 block from my mom's house. Turns out the dude was a John running a whore house for the Mexican immigrant workers. Ties to New York. It always end up bad. Sometimes ya never know who yer neighbors are.

Okay, I watched the Train Kept a' Rollin' vid again and I stand by what I said. Beck blew it. lol! Hammett might not be more talented than Beck, but he threw down when he was supposed to - as did Perry.

The earthquake in Italy showed up on the Richter scale at Millersville University in Lancaster, PA!! Prayers for all who are dealing with that. That was a big one!

Austin, as for the TKaR vid, Page did let it drop. I thought Flea was gonna throw down when he went over into the "circle", but the song was to close to the end. What I wanna know is - how's his neck at the end of every tour? lol!

The Beautiful Guitar is a fantastic cd...just maybe not if yer depressed...unless Joe's ballads make you happy...then it's a fantastic cd!

1. Thinking Of You 2. Cryin' 3. "Always With Me, Always With You 4. The Crush Of Love 5. I Believe 6. Midnight 7. Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness 8. Day At The Beach 9. Saying Goodbye 10. Rubina 11. Tears In The Rain 12. All Alone 13. Why 14. Echo

Love this video - Rude Mood

Al, next time you drink to much, have this tune on deck for yer head. Better than headache tablets :-)

Speaking of movies, and Chris loved August Rush btw....

I watched Baby Mama last night with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler....fun and funny movie, I really like the two ladies in it, they work well together :) Amy is especially funny. Plus I've always liked Greg Kinnear, and usually like Steve Martin in most things. Good movie!

A lot of lives lost in the Italy earthquake, so sad...and they're still looking for survivors. I don't remember if there's anyone here from Italy, but prayers go out to all affected. Some people here may have family or friends there...hope all is okay with them.

Michelle - I know what you mean , you think he would lay something heavy down but he just honks his guitar. I have seen him do that on tv before....thats just Jeff

scubadaz - Oh, it's OK...I know there are a lot of people who don't like U2. I guess my comment had a "You don't like U2? What's wrong with you?" feel to it that I didn't intend.

Thanks for posting those Edge videos. After watching them, I think I'm a bit confused about his approach to music. He says he doesn't want to be a virtuoso guitarist, which is fine, but the way he explains himself makes me think he just doesn't "get" the genre. But that doesn't make sense, because he obviously knows a lot about gear and how to really work to find different sounds...

The Beautiful Guitar is a compilation album, so you can do without it. I've never seen it in a store, but if I ever do I'll definitely buy it...just because. Also, you didn't mention it, but One Big Rush is also a compilation album from Satch...I don't think it's listed on the discography here though.

Additional Creations was a very limited release...copies show up on Ebay for close to $100.

I wonder if they'll be pushed to early June, so they can truly be "album release" shows? They wouldn't have much time, though...they need to get all their gear over to Europe by the 20th.

Onto your other post...I saw Baby Mama in theaters with a friend of mine (it was her turn to pick, haha). We weren't expecting much but it turned out to be a fun flick.

I'll send you an email...
