Rand, yeah, good to see ya & hang out with ya, thanks for coming by!

Question of the day: What's the story behind the song 'Stand Up'? Was it written for Pat, or is it an obscure cover song? (Ok, that's 2 questions...)

Cheers!

Hi, just curious where you are thinking of for the PT concert in Maui. I know Maui well.My best friend lives there who also loves PT. She knows everybody on the Island. Her dad was Lyle Bettger who was a regular for many years on Hawaii 50 and was an old actor with John Wayne etc...he was the mayor of Paia for a while. Anyway, if there is anything I can do to help set up this concert, let me know. Pat will definitely need lots of fans (both people and airblowing) cause he hates the heat!

Kids, I'm actually in San Diego, but I spend lots of time in Seattle and used to live there. gREG, are you kidding about the Cardinals going to Glendale? I hadn't heard about that . . . oh, and by the way, please call the team and ask them to lose on Sunday so Seattle can win the division - thanks.

Hey Stalker, I'm being courted by a condo developer in Naples, FL. Not TOO far from you, right? And Jimmy Pagemaker and Rockpig, believe it or not another position popped up in Vegas -- MUCH bigger than the first one! I'd be setting up and running their new Vegas office. Can you imagine the interviews for office staff? omigoodness. There are a couple of other jobs still in the works too, so if i DO have to shut my firm down the fall back position is very good. Not to mention the benefit to the family of leaving the instability of self-employment -- for 17 years! Time to make a change.

Hey gREG, thanks for the Xmas card. I thought it was very interesting to see where Lisa ends up in the picture -- you seem to have her trained very well! I was gonna make a Jingle Bells joke, but I won't. Silver Bells? nah, nevermind. White Christmas! I'm not gona touch that one! LOLOLOL

Happy Holiday's Hammerheads! Love the TnA, it would be fantastic to have track 10 blasted out at all the Hockey Arena's in North America. Perhaps when this lock out is settled lets all drive the sound men at these NHL arena's crazy. Replace that diddler Gary Gilmore with some adult TnA - whatyea say!
By the way the edgeist, coolest, wickedess,and smokedess, next to the TnA disc I've heard in a looooooong time has to be Sum 41's "Chuck" - any other hammerheads have that one ?

Hey guys. Long time no post but I still check in. Just got my new issue of Guitar World. Apparently the Dimebag tragedy hit too late for publication because there is no referance to his death. However there is an interview where he is compiling what would be his favorite compilation cd. He picked "Gettin' Betta" as one of his songs. This is what he said. "Man, dont get me started on Pat Travers. That dude writes killer blues rock and roll riffs. Travers introduced elements of disco guitar playing into his sound, with all those heavy choruses and flanges on his guitar. I remember having this album on cassette and driving around in this beat up 72 oldsmobile cutlass fitted with jensen 6x9 speakers, which sounded so insanely distorted and loud. Tommy Aldridge plays drums, and the groove on this song - you gotta love that ••••." Happy Holidays everyone! Chad

Hey Kids65...Me? Politically correct? Huh? You must have me confused with someone else! But hey...I live near the Seattle area too....does that count? Happy holidays to you as well. And to all you other Hammerheads, Happy Rockin' Holidays too!

Does anybody else hear bits of King's X in some of the vocal melodies on that TNA disc? The chorus to "I Don't Care" sure sounds a bit like King's X with just a pinch of Alice In Chains....or is it just me? Lotta good tunes on that disc. Can't wait for Eric & Rick to get let loose in the studio with PT and put something out...

Shame about the mess that happened at our base in Iraq yesterday. Pray for the troops...

And as always...PTB is KING!

I don't know if Led Zep ever played in Bosnia (or Yugoslavia - back when Bosnia was part of that former country).

But the people of the Balkans love good rock 'n roll. When I was there back in 2000 (for six months), I got to see some of the local rock bands when they came to the base to perform. Some of them were really good.

I went to a street festival one night in a little Muslim village and there was a local band playing at this outdoor stage. The lead singer was belting out Janis Joplin tunes (among other classics) and I'm here to tell you - she was nailing them. I asked if I could join in on guitar and they were all for it. Just then we got a call from our commander telling us we had to return to the camp right away. That really sucked. At that point in time, I hadn't touched a guitar in months - but I had enough "liquid courage" in me to want to give it a shot anyways.

PAUL GILBERT - "Everything Louder Than Everything Else" [Riff Notes - 04.12.24 02:33:27]

As previously reported, RACER X guitarist Paul Gilbert has been working on a new solo album. He has posted the following update at his official website:

"My new CD is nearly ready to mix. I need to sing a couple more songs and play a couple more guitars, and then it will be ready for me to make everything louder than everything else. Until it's finished, please listen to Pat Travers or check out some of my music."

YA GOTTA LOVE THAT!

I have read some interviews with Paul where he mentions Pat as an influence but to heap such praise indeed merits a rousing "God Bless Paul Gilbert!!"

I am happy to be in such great company! All of you are included as well!!

Merry Christmas all! Ed, you're the best! Eric, Rick - come back to Texas! Soon! Pat...someone tell Pat we/I said Merry Christmas and that we love him like family.

Heyyy, all you Hammerheads and headettes...Merry X-mas, Happy New Year, and all that...ChrismaKwanzaaKah stuff to ya! Hope all of you are doing well out there in PT land. Hoping Santa brought me a lil' TNA under the tree...and a new CD too (LOL).

Regarding Paul Gilbert, he is an amazing (if not a bit...showy) guitarist. Racer X is just a shred-fest, if you're into that sorta thing. I loved the 1st two Mr. Big CD's..great grooves, fantastic front-man (Eric Martin) and killer guitar and bass licks, courtesty of Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Sheehan...the hammer-on duel in "Addicted to that Rush" revs me up every time. Just a note, the drummer (at least for the early albums) was Pat Torpey, who I first heard with Chris Impelliteri. Gilbert later left the band and was replaced by Richie Kotzen, whose early solo stuff is pretty hot...though he did a short stint with (ack!) Poison.

One of the most memorable guitar solos I personally have witnessed was when Mr. Big opened for Rush maybe 15 years ago...Paul pulled out this solo that filled a 20,000 seat arena..bigtime! My jaw had to be scraped off the floor...if you have a chance to pick up any of his instructional videos, they are hot!

Well, it's almost time for Christmas dinner...cya!

Hey Blur, my wife had a hot-coffee-spilled-on-the-chest incident because the moron behind the counter didn't put the lid on properly. She was also holding our-then infant son Jake, so this was a few years ago. The restaurant settled for $5K, which was pennies compared to what she might have gotten in a full-blown suit.

It's worth checking into, especially if it scarred and if you could use some pocket change. And NO I didn't let 'em look! And yes the slight scarring that Grace suffered is gone now -- I check every chance I get! I'm sure she'll be pleased that I posted this story, but I'm just hoping it helps ya. They always warn me about the hot plate at the Olive Garden that we go to, so they should've done so at yours too!

It is simply amazing what "Mother Nature" can do! A group here at NASA is putting together a relief package/money to send.

My father is Indonesian and I know my Tante and Om were going there next month to visit family/friends, and that has now been cancelled. The family has decided to get together next week to put together a package to send to the family/friends in Indonesia.

Was watching the news this morning before coming to work (at 5:00a.) and the Pacific Tsunami watch said that they are just waiting for it to happen with the Pacific Ocean, and that it could happen at any time. It sure is depressing watching the numbers go up with the count of the deceased.

Anyways.....Everyone have a wonderful New Year and be SAFE!

Travers & Appice "It Takes A Lot Of Balls" is a definite must have for any Travers fan.

Growing on me like a fine wine (okay, beer really).

Another one Santa brought me is Schenker-Pattison Summit "The Endless Jam". Another must have for fans of Schenker and/or Davey Pattison.

Since all of my family lives halfway across the country, I didn't get squat...except a buzz. I also got caught up on my sleep!

But I did get some great tunes from Scott & Jo and from Jimmy "Big Pipe" Beseau, so I've been rockin' the speakers pretty much nonstop for a while now.

And as always...PTB is King!

I also got a great box-o-music from Rockpig!! But I have no idea what he is talking about...I sent him an erector set!

I had my kids for Christmas this year! We stayed up late Christmas Eve and I had to wake them up Christmas day when they were still asleep at ten a.m.!! We had a blast! Had some friends over on Christmas Day. Went and saw Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events the day after! What fun! Good movie!! Jim Carey is just a wacko!!

My kids gave me some cookware!! Kick Ass!! I love to cook and I don't suck! At cooking! Or period I guess!! My "girl-I-see-occasionally" gave me a nice black sweater. I walked away with a bottle of Weller from our office Chinese gift exchange! I bought myself a new pair of Rockports (ebay, $37 for $100 shoes!! I love ebay!), couple pairs of slacks, some cologne, Chapstick, coffee maker (mine broke on Christmas Eve!) and the same .mp3 player I bought my twelve year old! It has a wireless FM transmitter to play in your car or home stereo! Very cool! And it will accept up to a one gig SD memory card for additional storage and transportability of music/data/files. I like it!

I am extremely lucky and happy. I couldn't ask for more. Except to meet you guys in person! Party at my house!?

Later...

I gotta few of the usual type stuff, which is cool, including the below mentioned Joe Satriani CD. I take it that Randal, or gREG, can`t make the JS shows in thier area,... whatta shame. I did get a raise at work, which really surprised me considering a merger, and subsquent layoffs, late this summer. Best of all, I got a phone call from an old boat racing friend of mine, and he told me he`s putting together another race boat, and so I might do some crewing this coming spring and summer. The boat should be capable of doing about 120 mph, but I know that there are boats in that class that can probaly go a bit faster. Still, if it all comes together, it should be fun.

S`later, JH

Items of note that I got are a Boris Valejo/Julie Bell fantasy art calendar, a tuner for my geetars, a chocolate cream pie from my favorite niece, and a really cool 2 foot long staff looking thing with a hand carved dragon wrapped around that when you pull it in two is really two short swords (or long knives?) I haven't hurt myself with it yet, either!

Plus I got to drive an hour and a half in a blizzard on the Thruway on Christmas Eve!

Man, I'd obviously love to see his slippery bass playing return to the PTB!

Hey Muddy & Hooked.

That would be the Eggler Wigger Group, right? Wasn't Dick Rerringer the guitar player? Or was it Rummie Monstrudle? Had a hit called "Bride Of Frankenstein", didn't they?

same here!!! Have a Peeping New Year

on a darker note, geez didya see what happened in Buenos Aires??? 175 dead in a club incident frighteningly similar to the Great White show. The article I read says that fans regularly light fireworks at rock shows -- didn't anyone read about Rhode Island????? LOCKED exit doors??? COME ON -- we've gotta learn from our mistakes, folks!

Stay safe everyone, and lettuce hope that 2005 is truly a Happy New Year for all of us. I for one could really use a good year for a change . . .

GO SEAHAWKS!! DON'T GO RAMS!!!
