I'm the guy playing the Pearl Redburst Petrucci, wearing the Guiness shirt.

jimmyp.. yeah, I'm somewhere between "like" and "live for". ;) Somewhere like "could one day be financially ruined for love of..."

tommy,

I called in a good buddy to run the board for that gig. He has a great ear and a lot of experience. Fortunately, the ceiling was much higher out where the audience was sitting, so the mains didn't face the same hurdles.

But none of those things concerned me as much as the colored chase lights along the mirrored wall... :D

That's not Vai singing, but his ego is probably as big as Vai's talent... hahahahaha. Have to take a shot at the front man when the opportunity presents itself...

replies..

Pete: the gig went over very well, I couldn't have asked for a better reception.. and we were playing all originals... not a single cover song. That's unheard of in a town like Pittsburgh. (When all the hype was going on about Y2K, they said the problem wouldn't concern Pittsburgh for quite some time as we are always 20 years behind...)

jimmyp: yes, I've got the piezo. I really don't use it much live just yet, primarily because I don't have a great amp for it. Most of our stuff was written before I had Piezo, so I just don't think of it for those songs. I plan to make better use of it in the future, though!

keith: thanks for noticing my matching cable! I actually did buy the cable for that guitar, geeky as that might be to admit...

Keep us posted on your gigs, sometimes we travel up that way from DC.

edited original post

I replaced one of the photos in my original post with a better one that I must have overlooked. The 1st pic shows me (and more importantly, the Petrucci) more clearly than the others.

Yeah, I'd draw the line before matching strings...

Still can't see it very well. Here's a little photoshop tweak if you don't mind.

tweak

I don't mind the photoshop tweak, but the colors/gamma still aren't 100% true. (First of all, my hair isn't quite that shade of drywall dust...)

My jeans are dark black, not charcoal.. the Behringer 4x12 cabinet is a very dark black... but DANG.. the guitar looks FANTASTIC!

And that's really all that matters. :D
