Vai doesn't look all that different from the Crossroads days even though he's 60 now.

 

Well Pat. He is the Devil.

 

Satan never ages.

 

Makes sense to me.

I still like Vai's old stuff, the David Lee Roth stuff, Alcatrazz, Whitesnake and his earlier solo albums, Flexable, Passion & Warfare, Sex & Religion, but after that he lost his way for me with his patchy albums with weak tunes and bad singing. Listening to that song there from his 1995 mini album Alien Love Secrets, the song and his playing and his overall style sounds way too gimmicky to me now. There's not much to that song and the soloing lacks balls and is too effects-heavy. His last good album was that live album from 2001 which he recorded on tour with first time performances during gigs. I liked how he based each song on each city of the world he was in which forced him to use his imagination to come up with different chords and weird scales instead of the standard Vai tapping licks and riffs. Since then in the last 20 years he's released 2 more weak albums, about 50 compilation albums and about 20 live albums, so he's fresh out of ideas altogether now.

 

Well we are brothers Pat. I feel the same way about VAI. He totally lost me after "Sex & Religion." Don't forget the ep "Alien Love Secrets." I liked it. I have a Japan cd pressing first pressing with guitar pick.

He needs to do another album like that Live Zone from 2001 or whatever it's called, that's his only hope. And there was no singing on it which was a bonus because he can't sing live!

 

I agree.

Earl how do you feel about The Police today, the band that is. Also how do you feel about the 70's Jeff Beck albums and the one from 1980?

 

I just went through a big The Police phase a few weeks ago. Hell yes Pat, I love them. I love all five studio albums. The weakest being "Ghost In The Machine." Dude, you know that Stewart is my top three drummer of all time right? I love The Police.

 

I love Jeff Beck too. You must have a video camera the size of a pinhead in my living room. I also just went through a Jeff Beck phase. I love all the Jeff Beck stuff. Including the two with Rod on vocals.

Then the solo stuff with Cozy on the drums. I love the instrumental albums. "There And Back" with Simon on the drums is a masterpiece. "Space Boogie" baby!!

I even dig "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" with Bozzio on the kit.

I'm not so keen on the Beck albums with the group, I don't like that singer although obviously Cozy is on there. I prefer Truth, Beck-Ola, Wired and Blow By Blow. And There and Back but some people like to diss that album for some reason. And I do like Guitar Shop as well, I got that when it was first released with SRV's In Step and Steve Morse's High Tension Wires, what a guitar batch that was!

 

I'm not big on Sting I think he's a self-important douche nozzle who hates people winning the lottery because they might catch up with his bank account. That's what keeps him up at night, people playing Powerball! It's his biggest nightmare. I haven't got any Police albums I should probably bag the 5 studio albums I could probably get them for £20.

 

I understand you completely. We were born from the same cloth. I bought Guitar Shop, In Step and High Tension Wires at the same time as well. We are crazy in a great way Pat.

Who gives a fuckk what people think.

I wouldn't change a thing Pat.

 

People diss "There And Back?" They must be snorting crack cocaine with whiskey.

 

Dude, I fuckking HATE STING. Just like I fuckking can't stand that cock ROGER WATERS! UGH!!!!!!!

 

You nailed STING to a tee, but I can't help it. I love The Police.

 

I can't stand all these wankers and their ultra liberal views and political agendas. HYPOCRITICAL GREED MONGERS!!! I just WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC!!!!!

 

If STING is such a wonderful human being he should be giving a lot of his money to charity. Homelessness. Covid survivors. Abused animals.

 

FUCKK STING.

 

I love that Stewart hates his guts. I love when they fight. I want Stewie to really kick STING's ass one day. STUNG!!!! DUNG!!!! F YOU TOO STING!! F YOU ROGER WATERS!!!!

Yeah Sting is a t**t, but I think he became the kind of smug preachy little bastard after he left the Police. So I think it's ok to like the Police but I draw the line at his crap poser "jazz" solo albums.

 

We're insane for great music! Around that time I also got Steve Lukather's first solo album Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys, and I must have got Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue too, I think I got the Steve albums on the same day, I'm not sure if it was before the SRV, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse batch or after. I remember I recorded the Lukather and Slip of the Tongue on the same cassette tape, so it must have been around the same time.

 

You and I are nuts. I just bought the Los Lobotomys Japan Live Cd. Simon Phillips. Also Baked Potato Live! Jeff Pocaro on drums. All Steven dude. We are brothers.

 

People on here just let us type our jam because we rock.

 

Slip Of The Tongue Rules. Saw the tour.

I actually like Slip of the Tongue more than the 1987 album, I think it's got better songs overall.

 

Which is your favourite Police album?

[Principled Man]

Why are these pandemics largely forgotten?

 

It is human nature to forget the past. Over time, even the most important events become mere chapters in a history book, and then legend and myth. Modern society, unfortunately, has conditioned people to forget the past faster than usual.

 

 

 

I disagree that it's human nature to forget the past. I believe it's the exact opposite of what goes on. You make bonds because you need something AND you remember the past. Who do you trust? Part of that is based on your memory of who was good to you and who screwed you over.

Someone fears dogs because decades ago as a small child they were bit by a dog.

People hold grudges for decades.

Countries hold grudges for centuries.

Individuals remember past loves and mentally hold on to people who might've been brief in their lives, yet memorable nonetheless.

 

Now, we might distort some of those memories. Or misinterpret pieces of memory. But yeah, i totally disagree that it's human nature to forget the past.

 

You're discussing individuals and their personal histories.

 

I'm talking about people forgetting past events that haven't directly affected them. How many people even knew about the 1918 Influenza pandemic before it was mentioned this Spring? Do people in Wisconsin or Idaho still care about the 9-11 attacks? Unless it directly affected them, that event is fading away. World War II is just a few pages in a book for most of us. The people who personally experienced that horror are almost all gone.

 

In general, if it hasn't affected people personally, a huge disaster will be forgotten. It's just a matter of time.

 

I was on your point about human nature. And I see nothing you’ve said related to human nature. Besides individuals, I also mentioned countries holding grudges.

 

Your point about “being directly affected” makes sense. But your mention of the Spanish flu is more about being taught or not taught that event by the generation or two before you. That’s more about education or lack of one than human nature.

 

OK, I will explain it to you one more time. It is human nature to be tribal. People care about and remember what happens to them and their loved ones. When it comes to others, with whom they have no familial or physical connection, remembering their pasts is not a priority. People of today are not taught about the 1918 Influenza pandemic because very few people care about total strangers dying a hundred years ago. That part of world history has no meaning to people of today.

 

If this doesn’t help you understand the issue, then I don’t know what will.

[goose]

Why are these pandemics largely forgotten?

 

It is human nature to forget the past.

Well, we seem to remember the Spanish Flu pretty readily. Of course, it helps that the Spanish Flu fits a certain narrative and political agenda.

[goose]

 

The world didn't react to nature like a bunch of lunatics.

 

A bad side effect from being so prosperous, healthy, wealthy and spoiled for the past 50 years. Too many of us don't know how to react.

I agree with this completely. Any disruption to the relative ease of today's lifestyle is seen as tragic and intolerable.

I liked how he based each song on each city of the world he was in which forced him to use his imagination to come up with different chords and weird scales instead of the standard Vai tapping licks and riffs. Since then in the last 20 years he's released 2 more weak albums, about 50 compilation albums and about 20 live albums, so he's fresh out of ideas altogether now.

 

Well we are brothers Pat. I feel the same way about VAI. He totally lost me after "Sex & Religion." Don't forget the ep "Alien Love Secrets." I liked it. I have a Japan cd pressing first pressing with guitar pick.

He needs to do another album like that Live Zone from 2001 or whatever it's called, that's his only hope. And there was no singing on it which was a bonus because he can't sing live!

 

I agree.

Earl how do you feel about The Police today, the band that is. Also how do you feel about the 70's Jeff Beck albums and the one from 1980?

 

I just went through a big The Police phase a few weeks ago. Hell yes Pat, I love them. I love all five studio albums. The weakest being "Ghost In The Machine." Dude, you know that Stewart is my top three drummer of all time right? I love The Police.

 

I love Jeff Beck too. You must have a video camera the size of a pinhead in my living room. I also just went through a Jeff Beck phase. I love all the Jeff Beck stuff. Including the two with Rod on vocals.

Then the solo stuff with Cozy on the drums. I love the instrumental albums. "There And Back" with Simon on the drums is a masterpiece. "Space Boogie" baby!!

I even dig "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" with Bozzio on the kit.

I'm not so keen on the Beck albums with the group, I don't like that singer although obviously Cozy is on there. I prefer Truth, Beck-Ola, Wired and Blow By Blow. And There and Back but some people like to diss that album for some reason. And I do like Guitar Shop as well, I got that when it was first released with SRV's In Step and Steve Morse's High Tension Wires, what a guitar batch that was!

 

I'm not big on Sting I think he's a self-important douche nozzle who hates people winning the lottery because they might catch up with his bank account. That's what keeps him up at night, people playing Powerball! It's his biggest nightmare. I haven't got any Police albums I should probably bag the 5 studio albums I could probably get them for £20.

 

I understand you completely. We were born from the same cloth. I bought Guitar Shop, In Step and High Tension Wires at the same time as well. We are crazy in a great way Pat.

Who gives a fuckk what people think.

I wouldn't change a thing Pat.

 

People diss "There And Back?" They must be snorting crack cocaine with whiskey.

 

Dude, I fuckking HATE STING. Just like I fuckking can't stand that cock ROGER WATERS! UGH!!!!!!!

 

You nailed STING to a tee, but I can't help it. I love The Police.

 

I can't stand all these wankers and their ultra liberal views and political agendas. HYPOCRITICAL GREED MONGERS!!! I just WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC!!!!!

 

If STING is such a wonderful human being he should be giving a lot of his money to charity. Homelessness. Covid survivors. Abused animals.

 

FUCKK STING.

 

I love that Stewart hates his guts. I love when they fight. I want Stewie to really kick STING's ass one day. STUNG!!!! DUNG!!!! F YOU TOO STING!! F YOU ROGER WATERS!!!!

Yeah Sting is a t**t, but I think he became the kind of smug preachy little bastard after he left the Police. So I think it's ok to like the Police but I draw the line at his crap poser "jazz" solo albums.

 

We're insane for great music! Around that time I also got Steve Lukather's first solo album Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys, and I must have got Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue too, I think I got the Steve albums on the same day, I'm not sure if it was before the SRV, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse batch or after. I remember I recorded the Lukather and Slip of the Tongue on the same cassette tape, so it must have been around the same time.

 

You and I are nuts. I just bought the Los Lobotomys Japan Live Cd. Simon Phillips. Also Baked Potato Live! Jeff Pocaro on drums. All Steven dude. We are brothers.

 

People on here just let us type our jam because we rock.

 

Slip Of The Tongue Rules. Saw the tour.

I actually like Slip of the Tongue more than the 1987 album, I think it's got better songs overall.

 

 

That is quite the statement.

That's the way I see it.

[chemistry1973]

I love Steve Vai and I love Whitesnake but Slip Of The Tongue never grabbed me.

 

The songs don’t have that pocket that so many WS songs have. And Vai’s solos have nothing on the playing on ‘87.

 

Gonna revisit it now.

Edited May 20, 2020 by chemistry1973

[tangy]

vai is truly next level.

 

his double live disc with the orchestra is the best rock orchestra ever. disc one is his studio records reworked for different. disc two is all new and its great too.

 

sound theories 1 and 2 is the shit.

 

i agree he declined after sex and religion but he still had a lot of music left in. the fire garden suite in particular is a fave of mine

[grep]

Nope, I don't want to die from it. I also don't want to die in a car accident, but I drive every day and take that risk knowing 38,000 people die every single year and knowing that I am taking a risk on my own life as ell as my children in the car every time. I don't want to die of the flu when it goes around every year, but I still go out. Life is full of risks. That is the decision for me to make in everything I do. I don't want cancer so I CHOSE to stop smoking. No one made me. 647,000 Americans die from heart disease every year. Do I want the government to make fast food and fried food (or anything else the government deems "unsafe") illegal in the name of saving lives? Nope. I think I'll make the choice myself whether to eat like shit or not.

 

 

Well here is a really simple solution:

 

If YOU are scared to go out because of the virus, the You don't have to go out.

 

If Joe who owns Joe's Barber Shop wants to "take the risk" and risk exposing him self to Covid 19, then he can do so. His opening his barber shop doesn't affect you at all - because you are staying home, right?

 

Look at it this way - you should want things to open up while you hunker down because herd immunity will happen much quicker. Then when it's all over in a few years you can unseal your bunker and come out and have a beer with me in a bar without maintaining 6 feet distance. :cheers:

 

I'd argue that this virus is significantly more deadly than any other thing. Even if you don't want to say 80,000 dead in the US because of inflated numbers. I'll be generous and cut that in half. So 40,000 dead in 2 months.

 

Houston, we have a problem. The number of increased deaths is undeniable. They are burying people in mass graves in NYC, because so many are dying. So many more than normal. What's the cause of all that death? The media shoving it down our throats?

 

It's real buddy.

 

And the solution isn't as simple as some guy afraid of dying staying home. Staying home is also supposed to SLOW THE VIRUS DOWN, so that it has a reduced chance to spread to the vulnerable. Until there are vaccines and treatments.

 

People are really showing their selfish, true colors with this thing. Normally I wouldn't give a shit. But people are dying because of it.

 

And yeah, I look forward to the day that we can safely have beer together. I'll buy the first round.

 

No shit it's real, buddy.

 

So is the flu.

 

Do you react like this every year when the flu comes around and kills up to 60,000- 65,000 people? No? Why not? It's a real question you should ask yourself.

 

You almost seem militant to anyone who doesn't completely agree with you and want to seal themselves in a cave and not come out until a vaccine is ready. That is your choice to do that. Seal yourself in. Many of the rest of us are ready to get back to normal life and would rather "take the risk".

 

Keep yourself sealed in - and people who feel they are at risk - stay in hiding. The opening of businesses and regular life that you are so against does not affect you because you are hunkering down until there is a vaccine or the virus goes away through herd immunity. So my going out won't affect you at all. In fact you should want people to all go out while you don't and then the 60-70% herd immunity will happen for you.

 

Maybe you are the one who is selfish, not the ones willing to "take a chance" and who want to get the economic engine of this country running again.

 

Militant? Strong willed is more like it.

 

I'm not being selfish by understanding the nature of the virus, understanding that it's a killer, and not wanting to be one who'd infect someone else with it.

 

When you're taking that risk, you're not just taking that risk for yourself. You are taking that risk for everyone down the line who you'd infect. Remember that.

 

I do notice though that no one ever directly answers the question about what lives are worth.

Vai doesn't look all that different from the Crossroads days even though he's 60 now.

 

Well Pat. He is the Devil.

 

Satan never ages.

 

Makes sense to me.

I still like Vai's old stuff, the David Lee Roth stuff, Alcatrazz, Whitesnake and his earlier solo albums, Flexable, Passion & Warfare, Sex & Religion, but after that he lost his way for me with his patchy albums with weak tunes and bad singing. Listening to that song there from his 1995 mini album Alien Love Secrets, the song and his playing and his overall style sounds way too gimmicky to me now. There's not much to that song and the soloing lacks balls and is too effects-heavy. His last good album was that live album from 2001 which he recorded on tour with first time performances during gigs.

"Zenyatta Mondatta"

I wonder why they used those weird titles for the first three albums?

I love Jeff Beck too. You must have a video camera the size of a pinhead in my living room. I also just went through a Jeff Beck phase. I love all the Jeff Beck stuff. Including the two with Rod on vocals.

Then the solo stuff with Cozy on the drums. I love the instrumental albums. "There And Back" with Simon on the drums is a masterpiece. "Space Boogie" baby!!

I even dig "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" with Bozzio on the kit.

I'm not so keen on the Beck albums with the group, I don't like that singer although obviously Cozy is on there. I prefer Truth, Beck-Ola, Wired and Blow By Blow. And There and Back but some people like to diss that album for some reason. And I do like Guitar Shop as well, I got that when it was first released with SRV's In Step and Steve Morse's High Tension Wires, what a guitar batch that was!

 

I'm not big on Sting I think he's a self-important douche nozzle who hates people winning the lottery because they might catch up with his bank account. That's what keeps him up at night, people playing Powerball! It's his biggest nightmare. I haven't got any Police albums I should probably bag the 5 studio albums I could probably get them for £20.

 

I understand you completely. We were born from the same cloth. I bought Guitar Shop, In Step and High Tension Wires at the same time as well. We are crazy in a great way Pat.

Who gives a fuckk what people think.

I wouldn't change a thing Pat.

 

People diss "There And Back?" They must be snorting crack cocaine with whiskey.

 

Dude, I fuckking HATE STING. Just like I fuckking can't stand that cock ROGER WATERS! UGH!!!!!!!

 

You nailed STING to a tee, but I can't help it. I love The Police.

 

I can't stand all these wankers and their ultra liberal views and political agendas. HYPOCRITICAL GREED MONGERS!!! I just WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC!!!!!

 

If STING is such a wonderful human being he should be giving a lot of his money to charity. Homelessness. Covid survivors. Abused animals.

 

FUCKK STING.

 

I love that Stewart hates his guts. I love when they fight. I want Stewie to really kick STING's ass one day. STUNG!!!! DUNG!!!! F YOU TOO STING!! F YOU ROGER WATERS!!!!

Yeah Sting is a t**t, but I think he became the kind of smug preachy little bastard after he left the Police. So I think it's ok to like the Police but I draw the line at his crap poser "jazz" solo albums.

 

We're insane for great music! Around that time I also got Steve Lukather's first solo album Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys, and I must have got Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue too, I think I got the Steve albums on the same day, I'm not sure if it was before the SRV, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse batch or after. I remember I recorded the Lukather and Slip of the Tongue on the same cassette tape, so it must have been around the same time.

 

You and I are nuts. I just bought the Los Lobotomys Japan Live Cd. Simon Phillips. Also Baked Potato Live! Jeff Pocaro on drums. All Steven dude. We are brothers.

 

People on here just let us type our jam because we rock.

 

Slip Of The Tongue Rules. Saw the tour.

I actually like Slip of the Tongue more than the 1987 album, I think it's got better songs overall.

 

Which is your favourite Police album?

 

I totally agree about "Slip Of The Tongue" over "1987." Much better production too!!!

 

Favorite Police album? That's easy. Get it....

 

"Zenyatta Mondatta"

I wonder why they used those weird titles for the first three albums?

 

That is a great question Pat. I don't get it either. They make one hell of a Trilogy though.

 

What song title is more appropriate at this time than this one? ((go ahead and guess, you can guess this)):

Nope, I don't want to die from it. I also don't want to die in a car accident, but I drive every day and take that risk knowing 38,000 people die every single year and knowing that I am taking a risk on my own life as ell as my children in the car every time. I don't want to die of the flu when it goes around every year, but I still go out. Life is full of risks. That is the decision for me to make in everything I do. I don't want cancer so I CHOSE to stop smoking. No one made me. 647,000 Americans die from heart disease every year. Do I want the government to make fast food and fried food (or anything else the government deems "unsafe") illegal in the name of saving lives? Nope. I think I'll make the choice myself whether to eat like shit or not.

 

 

Well here is a really simple solution:

 

If YOU are scared to go out because of the virus, the You don't have to go out.

 

If Joe who owns Joe's Barber Shop wants to "take the risk" and risk exposing him self to Covid 19, then he can do so. His opening his barber shop doesn't affect you at all - because you are staying home, right?

 

Look at it this way - you should want things to open up while you hunker down because herd immunity will happen much quicker. Then when it's all over in a few years you can unseal your bunker and come out and have a beer with me in a bar without maintaining 6 feet distance. :cheers:

 

I'd argue that this virus is significantly more deadly than any other thing. Even if you don't want to say 80,000 dead in the US because of inflated numbers. I'll be generous and cut that in half. So 40,000 dead in 2 months.

 

Houston, we have a problem. The number of increased deaths is undeniable. They are burying people in mass graves in NYC, because so many are dying. So many more than normal. What's the cause of all that death? The media shoving it down our throats?

 

It's real buddy.

 

And the solution isn't as simple as some guy afraid of dying staying home. Staying home is also supposed to SLOW THE VIRUS DOWN, so that it has a reduced chance to spread to the vulnerable. Until there are vaccines and treatments.

 

People are really showing their selfish, true colors with this thing. Normally I wouldn't give a shit. But people are dying because of it.

 

And yeah, I look forward to the day that we can safely have beer together. I'll buy the first round.

 

No shit it's real, buddy.

 

So is the flu.

 

Do you react like this every year when the flu comes around and kills up to 60,000- 65,000 people? No? Why not? It's a real question you should ask yourself.

 

You almost seem militant to anyone who doesn't completely agree with you and want to seal themselves in a cave and not come out until a vaccine is ready. That is your choice to do that. Seal yourself in. Many of the rest of us are ready to get back to normal life and would rather "take the risk".

 

Keep yourself sealed in - and people who feel they are at risk - stay in hiding. The opening of businesses and regular life that you are so against does not affect you because you are hunkering down until there is a vaccine or the virus goes away through herd immunity. So my going out won't affect you at all. In fact you should want people to all go out while you don't and then the 60-70% herd immunity will happen for you.

 

Maybe you are the one who is selfish, not the ones willing to "take a chance" and who want to get the economic engine of this country running again.

 

Militant? Strong willed is more like it.

 

I'm not being selfish by understanding the nature of the virus, understanding that it's a killer, and not wanting to be one who'd infect someone else with it.

 

When you're taking that risk, you're not just taking that risk for yourself. You are taking that risk for everyone down the line who you'd infect. Remember that.

 

I do notice though that no one ever directly answers the question about what lives are worth.

So JB!!! It's amazing timing for you to put the dollar bet video up on here. Oh and Pat! You are also included on this one.

Before I went to get my Covid antibody blood test yesterday I asked my oldest daughter Zoe, "So kid, I am finally going to get tested to see if I have the Covid-19 virus back in Feb.

I think I will test positive Zoe. Do you want to bet 1000 dollars? I know I had the virus."

 

Zoe said, "ummm dad, I can cover that bet thanks to my graduation gifts, but no way! But dad, I know you will test negative regardless......"

 

So I got my test results back. I went to LABCORP which I believe is very trustworthy.

 

Well?

 

You were right PAT! Zoe was right too.

 

My test came back NEGATIVE.

 

It is what it is.

 

I am happy regardless.

 

I also saved a grand.

 

LOL!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Vai doesn't look all that different from the Crossroads days even though he's 60 now.

 

Well Pat. He is the Devil.

 

Satan never ages.

 

Makes sense to me.

I still like Vai's old stuff, the David Lee Roth stuff, Alcatrazz, Whitesnake and his earlier solo albums, Flexable, Passion & Warfare, Sex & Religion, but after that he lost his way for me with his patchy albums with weak tunes and bad singing. Listening to that song there from his 1995 mini album Alien Love Secrets, the song and his playing and his overall style sounds way too gimmicky to me now. There's not much to that song and the soloing lacks balls and is too effects-heavy. His last good album was that live album from 2001 which he recorded on tour with first time performances during gigs. I liked how he based each song on each city of the world he was in which forced him to use his imagination to come up with different chords and weird scales instead of the standard Vai tapping licks and riffs. Since then in the last 20 years he's released 2 more weak albums, about 50 compilation albums and about 20 live albums, so he's fresh out of ideas altogether now.

 

Well we are brothers Pat. I feel the same way about VAI. He totally lost me after "Sex & Religion." Don't forget the ep "Alien Love Secrets." I liked it. I have a Japan cd pressing first pressing with guitar pick.

He needs to do another album like that Live Zone from 2001 or whatever it's called, that's his only hope. And there was no singing on it which was a bonus because he can't sing live!

 

I agree.

You are making me think!

 

If we are taking about Whitesnake, I think the song "SPIT IT OUT" is more relevant than "Slip Of The Tongue!" LOL! I don't want that virus!!!! LOL! "Spit it out, if you don't like it!"

 

If you are referring to The Police.....

 

"Contact?" Off of the "Regatta De Blanc" record? LOL! I don't want any contact with Covid!!! LOL!

[Entre_Perpetuo]

If it's in US, we won't know . . . still very little testing!

 

There's over 4000 confirmed cases in 49 states. It's definitely here and certainly should be a concern but it's not time for a full on panic yet. They're taking the proper measures I believe in the limitations they've made in my state when it comes to big get togethers. It's gonna be different for a while but we'll get back to some normalcy soon enough.

 

I think people are overreacting over here actually. At least it doesn't make total sense why everything's shutting down indefinitely for this one, but Swine Flu and Bird Flu and Sars and Ebola and ever other major health scare of the past 20 years didn't have half this effect. But oh well, people overreacting is probably what will keep the US from winding up like China in this mess...

 

I don't think history is going to be particularly kind to this post.

 

It wasn't, you're right. Mostly because all my optimism has been proven wrong by the numbers that stacked up since then. I should've stayed scared when I first heard about it ripping through China in late January, might've made a point of actually saying goodbye to more classmates I still won't be seeing again for months, and some indefinitely. I haven't lost anyone to the virus and I don't know anyone personally who's got it, but I'm sure as heck that if we'd all stayed at our normal lives and normal paces those numbers wouldn't begin to compare to what the flu does every year....they'd be much much worse...I still can't imagine what China's real numbers must look like...

Nobody has been completely right about everything. Many have been wrong about many things.

 

My sister-in-law and a couple of cousins are nurses in Florida and Norway and have been treating covid-19 patients. So the threat has been pretty close to me personally. As they're in the thick of it, hearing their points of view and their work experiences weigh a lot more than many news broadcasts, folks' conspiracy theories, and politicians' pissings.

 

And today marks the end of my telework as tonight the State of Emergency for Osaka prefecture is supposed to be made official. Tomorrow's trains to work should be well packed (think literal 'sardine can'), and yeah I'm not too confident that it's safe...because in almost all likelihood, it's not.

 

I can't say that I'm scared or have been at any point. 'Numb' is probably a better word.

Vai doesn't look all that different from the Crossroads days even though he's 60 now.

 

Well Pat. He is the Devil.

 

Satan never ages.

 

Makes sense to me.

I still like Vai's old stuff, the David Lee Roth stuff, Alcatrazz, Whitesnake and his earlier solo albums, Flexable, Passion & Warfare, Sex & Religion, but after that he lost his way for me with his patchy albums with weak tunes and bad singing. Listening to that song there from his 1995 mini album Alien Love Secrets, the song and his playing and his overall style sounds way too gimmicky to me now. There's not much to that song and the soloing lacks balls and is too effects-heavy. His last good album was that live album from 2001 which he recorded on tour with first time performances during gigs. I liked how he based each song on each city of the world he was in which forced him to use his imagination to come up with different chords and weird scales instead of the standard Vai tapping licks and riffs. Since then in the last 20 years he's released 2 more weak albums, about 50 compilation albums and about 20 live albums, so he's fresh out of ideas altogether now.

 

Well we are brothers Pat. I feel the same way about VAI. He totally lost me after "Sex & Religion." Don't forget the ep "Alien Love Secrets." I liked it. I have a Japan cd pressing first pressing with guitar pick.

He needs to do another album like that Live Zone from 2001 or whatever it's called, that's his only hope. And there was no singing on it which was a bonus because he can't sing live!

 

I agree.

Earl how do you feel about The Police today, the band that is. Also how do you feel about the 70's Jeff Beck albums and the one from 1980?

 

I just went through a big The Police phase a few weeks ago. Hell yes Pat, I love them. I love all five studio albums. The weakest being "Ghost In The Machine." Dude, you know that Stewart is my top three drummer of all time right? I love The Police.

 

I love Jeff Beck too. You must have a video camera the size of a pinhead in my living room. I also just went through a Jeff Beck phase. I love all the Jeff Beck stuff. Including the two with Rod on vocals.

Then the solo stuff with Cozy on the drums. I love the instrumental albums. "There And Back" with Simon on the drums is a masterpiece. "Space Boogie" baby!!

I even dig "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" with Bozzio on the kit.

I'm not so keen on the Beck albums with the group, I don't like that singer although obviously Cozy is on there. I prefer Truth, Beck-Ola, Wired and Blow By Blow. And There and Back but some people like to diss that album for some reason. And I do like Guitar Shop as well, I got that when it was first released with SRV's In Step and Steve Morse's High Tension Wires, what a guitar batch that was!

 

I'm not big on Sting I think he's a self-important douche nozzle who hates people winning the lottery because they might catch up with his bank account. That's what keeps him up at night, people playing Powerball! It's his biggest nightmare. I haven't got any Police albums I should probably bag the 5 studio albums I could probably get them for £20.

 

I understand you completely. We were born from the same cloth. I bought Guitar Shop, In Step and High Tension Wires at the same time as well. We are crazy in a great way Pat.

Who gives a fuckk what people think.

I wouldn't change a thing Pat.

 

People diss "There And Back?" They must be snorting crack cocaine with whiskey.

 

Dude, I fuckking HATE STING. Just like I fuckking can't stand that cock ROGER WATERS! UGH!!!!!!!

 

You nailed STING to a tee, but I can't help it. I love The Police.

 

I can't stand all these wankers and their ultra liberal views and political agendas. HYPOCRITICAL GREED MONGERS!!! I just WANT TO HEAR THE MUSIC!!!!!

 

If STING is such a wonderful human being he should be giving a lot of his money to charity. Homelessness. Covid survivors. Abused animals.

 

FUCKK STING.

 

I love that Stewart hates his guts. I love when they fight. I want Stewie to really kick STING's ass one day. STUNG!!!! DUNG!!!! F YOU TOO STING!! F YOU ROGER WATERS!!!!

Yeah Sting is a t**t, but I think he became the kind of smug preachy little bastard after he left the Police. So I think it's ok to like the Police but I draw the line at his crap poser "jazz" solo albums.

 

We're insane for great music! Around that time I also got Steve Lukather's first solo album Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys, and I must have got Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue too, I think I got the Steve albums on the same day, I'm not sure if it was before the SRV, Jeff Beck, Steve Morse batch or after. I remember I recorded the Lukather and Slip of the Tongue on the same cassette tape, so it must have been around the same time.

 

You and I are nuts. I just bought the Los Lobotomys Japan Live Cd. Simon Phillips. Also Baked Potato Live! Jeff Pocaro on drums. All Steven dude. We are brothers.

 

People on here just let us type our jam because we rock.

 

Slip Of The Tongue Rules. Saw the tour.

I actually like Slip of the Tongue more than the 1987 album, I think it's got better songs overall.

 

Which is your favourite Police album?

 

I totally agree about "Slip Of The Tongue" over "1987." Much better production too!!!

 

Favorite Police album? That's easy. Get it....

 

"Zenyatta Mondatta"

I wonder why they used those weird titles for the first three albums?

 

That is a great question Pat. I don't get it either. They make one hell of a Trilogy though.

 

What song title is more appropriate at this time than this one? ((go ahead and guess, you can guess this)):

HAHAHA!

 

JB!

 

You are making me think!

 

If we are taking about Whitesnake, I think the song "SPIT IT OUT" is more relevant than "Slip Of The Tongue!" LOL! I don't want that virus!!!! LOL! "Spit it out, if you don't like it!"

 

If you are referring to The Police.....

 

"Contact?" Off of the "Regatta De Blanc" record? LOL! I don't want any contact with Covid!!! LOL!

 

So did you check which vid i put up?

 

NOPE! lol

 

I'm watching "The Jungle Book" remake. It's not bad.
