    Joel,

    I wrote the article today! It's a philosophical essay on music and a musician's approach in the music business. It is entitled "Self-Expression or Cosmic Reflection," and is an absolute must-read for any musician who records and/or plays live. The "Speed Matters" article will be forthcoming.

    Your solos in my two songs are absolutely brilliant, especially "Murdering Angels (Just For Fun)". I am astounded at your brilliance and creativity and truly love that solo. I've also listened to part of Gaining Ground, and I love it too! Your playing is absolutely amazing in that! I don't know why I never got into any stuff I heard from that cd before, because I truly appreciate all your soloing I've heard so far, and I'm about half-way through the album. The other guys kick ass too, not just your soloing.

    I sent the master copy off today with the contract, so we'll see what happens next.

    Sunday is our big concert!

    Hey what's up Joel! I heard through the grapevine that Silvergun is going National? Is this true!?!? If so awesome man, good for you. You guys totally deserve it. If not, I'm sure it'll happen soon. - We just put up a bunch of new songs, I'd love it if you checked them out and gave me your thoughts on how they sound. Let me know dude, we should get together soon, I miss long studio rants about the war effort haha!

    Joel!!! Thanks for adding my new page. I'll be picking up your book as soon as I have the money...I've actually taken some time off from music to work on my musicianship...I got kinda discouraged because the music I was playing wasn't really putting forth what I could really do or am capable of....especially on guitar. I have a feeling the book will help a bit.

    Anyway, continued good luck with the studio, the band, and the marriage!!

    Pleasure's mine, Joel. I never come across many cool virtuoso players -- but you're an acception. You deserve big exposure - if that's what you want.
    I like a lot of hardcore material as oppossed to metal per se, and your work is an inspiration to both because in relation to my "hardcore" comaprison, you don't rely on many effects.
    If you've got time to reply (no worries if you don't) have you heard Stephen Egerton from ALL/DESCENDENTS? I'd love to hear you two contrast yet compliment eachother.

    And your studio prices!Wwow mate! Despite being in Oz, I'd like to write to you further about sending some files over their for augmentation.

    Thanks for replying; I appreciate a grounded guitar legend.
