chrisloeb: ... looking forward to the NY show, Grace? that's what we're just talkin'
Grace: nah............can't do it, I can't throw my ax all the way to Arizona or Los Angeles
David: Times Square is a stretch too, right
chrisloeb: remind me... isn't the Roadshow coming to NY too?
David: put your beer down wolfy
Grace: I think that we all want these 2 shows to be SO SUCCESSFULL for Glenn, that I think we should all take Audience 191 classes.
chrisloeb: wolfy, that's 2 times you now, is it?
Grace: oops......101 classes
Chip: No Christain, just to the LA gig. With new member, Wolfy in tow.
David: Welcome chutsler
chutsler: Hello David! et all!
Chip: Hi Chuck
wolfysmith: I suddenly got a BYE BYE message!
Harry le chat: Hello chustler
Vinnis: hi chutsler
wolfysmith: Hi Chustler
David: Made your plans for June chutsler?
chrisloeb: hello chustler
Grace: bon soir, Harry
Grace:
Harry le chat: Bonsoir Madame Grace
chutsler: First off, everyone can call me Chuck....David, I might be taking a train up to New York....
David: We've got gail force winds going on outside, so don't be surprised if I go bye-bye for a short time!
Chip: HI Shirean
Vinnis: hi shirean
wolfysmith: Hi Shirean
chrisloeb: is that a new cigarette brand, David?
Harry le chat: Hi Shirean
chrisloeb: Hi Shirean!
Shirean: Hello everyone
David: Ha-ha christian
chrisloeb: 
Grace: yeah, David...........the north east is getting mildewed from this nor'easter...........raining like crazy today
David: no rain here, just hot and very windy!
chutsler: Like Grace says....it's raining cats & dogs here on the right coast
David: Shirean's lucky as she's 'outta here for a couple of days, to go see Heart in LA on Tuesday
Shirean: I can't wait
David: So any of you have the Oz M4TD release? It's well worth tracking down for the bonus tracks.
chrisloeb: Thanks for the Heart update, Shirean! Gotta add "Bebe Le Strange" and "The Road Home" to my collection...
Grace: does anybody know if Glenn is scheduled for an appearance on Jay Leno's show, during the week before the Saturday appearance in LA, and to help publicize the Monday night show in NY? Cripes, Glenn could probably WALK to the NBC TV studio in Burbank
chutsler: David, that's amazing....I was just going to ask the very same question!
chrisloeb: not yet, David, but it's on my list - TOP Priority
Harry le chat: Oz M4TD ordered but not received yet....
David: Nothing yet Grace
wolfysmith: I have to say i dont like Monkey Man with Jimmy Barnes on it. he ruins a classic song IMO.
Chip: I agree...it's worth getting the Oz release.
Shirean: Make sure and get the remastered version of "Bebe" it has a couple of never released tracks.
David: Well, hold off a bit longer if you're able - a Competition is coming soon
chrisloeb: are you going to put "Misty Mountain Hop" into the Jukebox?
David: it's there now
chrisloeb: 
wolfysmith: But Misty Mountain is FANTASTIC. Really like how Glenn has done the vocals.
chutsler: David, I won the Deep Purple Cal Jam dvd....don't think lightning will strike twice in my case....
chrisloeb: ahhhh. Pick of the Month?
David: right, chris
David: Was surprised to read Stevie Salas was part of that session as it wasn't mentioned prior - too be honest can't really hear his style in that song, but hey, it's cool he joined in.
David: maybe chutsler
Chip: Yeah, I thought it would be easy to pick Stevie out, but it isn't.
chrisloeb: anybody remember the 4 Non Blondes version?
David: it's all a random draw, so worth a shot!
chutsler: I'll give it a shot....
Grace: In a perfect world, Glenn's management should get him on Leno's show.......knock the audience out, heh, heh, heh. Or maybe a one hour interview with Charlie Rose? God knows that GH could have Mr. Rose falling off his chair...laughing.
wolfysmith: David, what was Glenn doing in Russia when he posted his recent message?
chrisloeb: listening to Glenn's version of MHH just now.... fantastic!
David: A "private" event in Samara - just a quick visit after Norway.
Harry le chat: Listening too Chris....Amazing...Thousand thanks David
David: Enjoy
wolfysmith: any idea if glenn intends to record the US shows for audio or video?
Grace: where's the surprise, Chris........name a non-fantastic version of a song by GH?
chrisloeb: absolutely fantastic - imo you can actually hear that it was recorded around the time when NIWS was originally laid down too.
David: From what I understand it's in the plan - but not sure if it'll happen.
David: OK, think Salas is in the intro for sure upon listening to "MMH" again!
wolfysmith: probably my favourite GH cover as it was always my favourite song from the Led Zep album at the time.
chrisloeb: yeah, that's my guess too, David - and probably some of the wah wah guitar work
David: Glenn did Percy proud for sure on that one :cool
chrisloeb: it's definitely in my Zep Top 5, yeah
David: The "Monkey Man" 'cover' with Jimmy Barnes is not bad either and love the video that goes with it.
Grace: listening to it it now.......yep, those Hughes Quintuplets are ALL singing together again.
Grace:
wolfysmith: i think you all must have missed me saying i dont like the Jimmy Barnes Monkey Man.!
chrisloeb: where did the guy in that Aussie magazine get the idea, that Monkey Man should be a Rolling Stones cover? Did he listen to it at all?
David: ahhh, well we can agree to disagree
David: unlike some Danes & Swedes
chrisloeb:
David: he was lazy I think christian - the Stones do have a song by that name - but jeez, how hard is it to flip the CD over to read the track listing!
Grace: Face it, wolfy, once we hear the original GH solo version of something, we usually don't appreciate it when he sings with somebody else.....
David: let alone listen to the damn thing!!
chrisloeb: there goes professionalism....
wolfysmith: He just doesnt add anything to it for me. and its the chorus that is the killer hook.
chutsler: I know everyone here is an 'avid' Glenn Hughes fan....have any of you seen him with Trapeze?
wolfysmith: Your right Grace. whose vocals could improve a GH song?
Grace: only Chip "Trapeze" Charlton, I think
wolfysmith: Only on bootleg dvd Chuck
David:
Chip: as you know Chuck, yes, in '94
Harry le chat: No Chuck
chutsler: Chip, I think I told you....I saw them in '72!
Grace: only that one time, Chip? I thought you saw Trapeze in the pre- DP days
Chip: Yeah, it's the only time I wish I was a little bit older. I could have saw them the first time around.
David: Looking forward to the next solo record, as it's supposed to be in the vein of what a modern day Trapeze would sound like - sounds interesting for sure
Chip: No Grace, just the one time. See above
wolfysmith: I have some backstage Trapeze passes right in front of me now - waiting for scanning!
Grace: well, I was buying baby food........but I still never heard of Trapeze, living in the NYC area
chutsler: I was a Trapeze fan long before I saw them in concert.....they were better than Led Zep (IMO)....
David: that's what Bonham thought too I think
Grace: I wonder who it was who decided that Trapeze would do well in the South, only? It's not like they sounded like a country western band
wolfysmith: David, when Mel first heard M4TD he thought Glenn was heading back that way.
David: Really, I thought 'Soul Mover' was more in that direction....although "You Got Soul" and "Steppin' On" come close...
chutsler: Grace, I saw them in Annapolis...
wolfysmith: David, I never asked him what he thought of Soulmover as i didnt know him them!
Grace: I can honestly say that listening to NY radio.........I never heard the word Trapeze, let alone their music
chutsler: I heard "Black Cloud" and "You Are The Music" on radio here in the Mid-Atlantic....
Grace: zilch for me............hey Vinny, did you ever hear any Trapeze....oops, were you born yet?
David: Back again
Power surge will do it everytime
It's those damn winds!
Chip: Same here Chuck. Also "Your Love Is Alright", "Medusa" and "Midnight Flyer" were in regular rotation in St. Louis.
Harry le chat: Useless to say we cannot find any Trapeze albums in France...We have to order them in the UK or in the States. We don't find any Glenn solo albums either...Shame !
chutsler: Chip, that's cool!
David: Now the "remasters" are out, if you can track them down - those are the one's worth getting - they sound awesome.
chutsler: I know and I have them!!!
Grace: lucky for you, you've got lots of friends here....we may be "crazy" but we've all learned about mailing CDs internationally to other GHCPs!!!
Chip: Those didn't stay in print long, did they?
David: yeah, about a month!
chutsler: I'm glad I bought them when I did...
chrisloeb: and only in Japan, right?
Chip: Correct Christain, only in Japan.
Chip: Just saw a set on ebay. I don't think they came with the box though.
Harry le chat: I know that Grace. God bless GHCP...
David: pleased they had the Lyrics included - was finally able to get them on the site
chutsler: David, one of these days I'll have to post the lyric sheet from my Japanese vinyl copy of Medusa.....
Grace: I'm pretty sure that most of us have mailed a GH Cd overseas, I've mailed a (legally purchased) CD to a GH fan in Brazil....really impressed the people at my post office
David: Feel free, although we've finally add the text to the "Lyrics" section!
chutsler: David, the lyrics on the vinyl album don't match what is on the remastered cd!
David: Welcome back luv
Grace: is the Japanese version close to what it is in English?
David: Ahhh....yeah, they were 'kinda questionable - don't think the translation totally worked out
David: Close, but there are a couple of obvious wrong words, but they were easily "fixed" upon taking a listen!
chutsler: Someone on the Fan Forum took me to task for posting about the 'hilarious' lyric sheet from the Japanese Medusa album.....whoever translated the lyric was doing it 'phonetically'......
Grace: I love that web site that Tony posted.......engrish.com close but no cigar
chutsler: ....and they got it WRONG
Chip: Hooked On Phonics
Shirean:
chutsler: I think I was labelled a 'racist' after that.....
Grace: didn't somebody write a book about wrong song lyrics...........very funny
David: yeah, love that song, "Coat to Coat" or even "Goat to Goat"
chutsler: LOL!!!!
chrisloeb: I recommend you read "Eats(,) Shoots and Leaves" by Lynne Truss. "The Zero Tolerance Approach To Punctuation" - it's excellent!
Grace: the honest title of that book was "When a man loves a walnut" ...hey............you gonna' MUMBLE, that's what you get
chutsler: Grace, yeah somebody did.....a typical Hendrix faux pas.... "excuse me, while I kiss this guy" .....
Chip: Wolfy, keep checking Mel's rubbish bin for any of those broken claws. I've got a spot on the wall for one
Grace: ......like the companion book of movie mistakes
wolfysmith: almost as bad as Seagull on Itunes!
chrisloeb: big "ohhhhh" for that, Chip....
Chip:
David: not too change the subject - just wanted to make sure you know that Glenn will be calling in live on Monday afternoon/evening to KNAC.com - no question or answer session - just a call to give us all an update....
David: around 4:00PM PDT/7:00PM EDT....
chutsler: speaking of Seagull.....anyone picking up Paul Rodgers's new live cd Tuesday?
wolfysmith: You need to keep a space for something im bringing over Chip. Official WB pic!
chrisloeb: no Chuck, definitely prefer the old stuff
Grace: didn't I just see a listing for M4tD where they had about five title mistakes = Monkey Mad = was one of the song titles
Chip: Cool. I might have to start taking some Glenn stuff down to make room for Trapeze items
David: Welcome Dani
chrisloeb: it's "Music For The Divide", Grace...
Dani California: HELLO TO EVERYBODY
Harry le chat: Hello Dani
chutsler: chrisloeb, a majority of the album is 'live' renditions of Free material.....
Chip: Hello Dani
chrisloeb: Hello Dani
wolfysmith: Hi Dani, just about to Myspace you!
chrisloeb: hey Dani, did you get the friends request?
Dani California: HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR PAUL
chrisloeb: will check it out then, Chuck! Thanks
Grace: yep Chris, by everyone's favorite singer Gleen Hugs
chutsler: It's from a UK tour he did earlier this year....the show is from Glasgow and it's a killer!!!
Shirean: It was filmed last October
chrisloeb: Grace
Harry le chat: Anyone going to the Italian gigs with Moonstone in may ?
Dani California: from when Chris?
David: Unfortunately not...
chrisloeb: Dani - today, in the afternoon - not sure if I sent it from Medusa or from Strange New Flesh though...
Harry le chat: David, what about France in September?
Grace: nope............but I did post some "Italian" advice for Glenn, over at GH.com
David: Nope, not then either - think I'm done with international travel for the year
Shirean: Nope, no France in September
David: still recovering from last year
Harry le chat: Ok then, I will have to do the reviews and pictures
David: Thank you so much
Grace: I'm glad that Glenn's French fans will get a chance to see and hear how Glenn has gotten better over the years
chrisloeb: culinary advice, Grace?
Dani California: I will check now Chris
wolfysmith: You have some great pics on your Myspace page Nat.
Grace: nope........as an Italian-American, I believe that Glenn needs some SAFETY ADVICE ....read it when you get a chance
Harry le chat: Thanks Wolfy
Grace, we are really proud Glenn comes to France. First time in 6 years.
wolfysmith: David, is that until September for the possible UK tour!
David: Ha ha wolfy - nope, won't be over for it this time.
Shirean: Yeah I need him home so I can go see HEART this Summer
David: Ain't that the truth
David: I really wanted to see Glenn on the big stage in London - so decided it was worth just the one gig this time around.
wolfysmith: A bit like our "one-off" visit to the USA this year! I had to force myself tyo come back to LA and NYC!
David: Exactly - you won't regret it, that's for sure.
Shirean: I look forward to seeing you all in NYC and LA
Harry le chat: I wish I could be there too....
wolfysmith: Flights from Paris Nath!
Grace: I really hope that in LA and NY ...Glenn DOESN'T ask the audience to sing along with him. HE'S SUCH A LIAR, when he says "Hey, you sound great!" .....NO......WE......DON'T.....if we did, we would be on the stage, and GH would be sitting in the audience.
David: But Grace, the sing-song at the London gig was fun
chutsler: Have to run....really nice chatting with you.....cheers!
David: OK, thanks for stopping by Chuck - good to see you here.
Chip: See ya Chuck.
chrisloeb: bye Chuck
wolfysmith: when i looked for the cheapest deal to LA, it actually went via New York!
wolfysmith: shame the shows werent the other way round!
Harry le chat: Wolfy do you need a visa to enter the States ?
chrisloeb: EU citizens usually only need a valid EU-passport, Nathalie
David: No visa need - but they'll take your picture and fingerprint!
chrisloeb: and ask tricky questions....
Dani California: Chris I already approve your friends requests from MEDUSA and STRANGE NEW FLESH
Grace: and take your shoes off...........can you believe it? Is it still every 7th person?
Harry le chat: No Chris cause our passports are not biometric...So we need to apply for a visa and it take about 2 months to get it...
chrisloeb: Thanks, Dani - hope you like the tracks too!
wolfysmith: 2 fingerprints! Actually US customs in Phoenix were really friendly. i guess Lucy crying helped speed us thru!
wolfysmith: Every passenger had to take their shoes off.
Grace: glad that your evil plan worked, wolfy.........poor baby.....what did you do, Paul, tell her she wasn't going to Disneyland?
Grace: that would make me cry, too
chrisloeb: Nathalie: should be quicker to get a new passport then, wouldn't it? Any new EU-passport should do it now!
Harry le chat: We'll think about it and....calculate the cost..
Chip: Hi Bill.
wolfysmith: LOL
Grace. She was awake the whole 10 hours flight then fell asleep as we landed. it was something like 2am for us but early afternoon for Chip so understandable.
chrisloeb: 'ey Captain!
captmidnite1962: Hey everyone...just got back from town....
wolfysmith: Hi Bill.
captmidnite1962: Happy Birthday Wolfy!!
captmidnite1962: I am so stoked about NYC on the 4th of June!!
David: Hi Capt'n
Harry le chat: Hello Bill and bye ! It was nice talking to you boys and girls. Have a good day/night everybody. Talk to you soon. Bye
wolfysmith: Thanks Capt! See you in New York!
David: Thanks for stopping by Nathalie, bye for now.
captmidnite1962: Good night Nathalie
Grace: hello captain...............got a question for you...................how close are you to Washington, DC?
wolfysmith: Au Revoir Nathalie
captmidnite1962: About 2 1/2 hours
Harry le chat: Bye all
chrisloeb: bye, Nathalie!
Grace: bye nathalie, great havin a chat with you and Harry!
Grace: do you ever go there?
captmidnite1962: I do..I am an inveterate museum rat!!
Dani California: Chris,unfortunately I still have some problems with my computer and I haven't sound
so is impossible to listen any sounds
But I am shure that all songs are great
chrisloeb: Grace - the translator didn't work there, huh?
Chip:
captmidnite1962: Hey Chris...I have to listen to your stuff...i got cable here about 2 months ago..still trying to catch up!
Grace: ah................your name just MIGHT be taken off the list
chrisloeb: is that the good list, or the bad one, Grace?
Dani California: this days i will try to fix that problem
captmidnite1962: And Wolfy..that clip with Mel and the snakes is killer!!
chrisloeb: that's fine, Dani
Grace: there's only ONE LIST that anybody has to worry about, chris
captmidnite1962: I think Michael Schenker wrote a song about Grace....
chrisloeb: May I offer...., say...... Lebkuchen?
wolfysmith: I cant stop playing it Bill. Have the whole concert on good quality DVD. That clip is a 90mb MP4 file i chopped out of it. Youtube limit is 100mb so thats all i could post.
captmidnite1962: Something about "Attack Of The Mad Axewoman"
Grace: Yes folks, terrorizing my fellow GHCPs is such fun!
captmidnite1962: Well that is cool Wolfy....the guys were really kicking!
chrisloeb: That's "Mad Axe Attack", Bill, is it?
wolfysmith: Thats from the great music days before Schenker went mad
Grace: too bad Bill, you just got put BACK ON the list.
Grace: ...all you people are in severe trouble, now
captmidnite1962:
captmidnite1962: You will see me in about 6 weeks Grace!
chrisloeb: and now for something completely different.... has anybody in the UK seen Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds stage show?
Grace: if you can, and if you want to live, Bill, the next time that you're in DC, could you go to the Thomas Circle? Vermont and 14th
wolfysmith: Chris, i was only discussing WOTW with Mel yesterday.
David: Hi Pete
Pete: hey groovers..
Chip: Hey Pete
chrisloeb: hey Pete!
Dani California: HI Pete
Pete: happy b'day wolfy
wolfysmith: Hey Pete, you made it. did you see my little reminder?
wolfysmith: Thanks Pete
captmidnite1962: What is the signifcance of the Thomas Circle?
Grace: they've done a job on the actual traffic circle lanes, but since I was there abot 2-3 years ago, I would love to know if they've done anything to fix/repair the statue of George Henry Thomas
Pete: no mate just got in....this is me first act
chrisloeb: Yesterday!!? well that's a coincidence, wolfy!
captmidnite1962: OK..I will check it out for you!
chrisloeb: got it on DVD from 'play.com' recently.... absolutely fantastic!
wolfysmith: Yes Chris. he is a big fan and has the new dvd of it. I have a great pic of him with Justin Hayward and the BlueJays to post soon
chrisloeb: that's great, wolfy! Justin Hayward is excellent in it! Didn't know he was that tall!?
Grace: I'm a GH Thomas crazy person, besides being a Glenn Hughes crazy person. (No need for Gh to worry, though, GHT was a Civil War general.....he never made any records.)
chrisloeb: the line-up of the band in WOTW isn't too shabby either.... Chris Spedding, Laurie Wisefield, Hugh Burns, Herbie Flowers....
Pete: HF drummer with Sky?
chrisloeb: bass player, Pete
Pete: ahhhh yeah and with late T.Rex...sorry
chrisloeb: exactly - and tons of others...
Pete: indeed
wolfysmith: And some guy called Hughes covered one of Justins songs on his last album i believe
Pete: a very down to earth bass player...no frills
chrisloeb: there's a very funny sequence in the (1 hour long) documentary, when HF points at his 25 year old BMW and says something like - that's all I got out of 300+ hour sessions...
wolfysmith:
Grace: There's an incredible article about him in the March, 2007 Smithsonian magazine. Read it if you get a chance, Bill, and you'll figure out why I admire this guy so much........OK David............I'll get back ON TOPIC now.
David: Shirean here, David stepped away....is out having a smoke..
Pete: tee hee!!!
David: I'm sitting in
chrisloeb: So David is now Shirean?
wolfysmith: You must have a wireless LAN
Chip: Is it staying lit in all that wind?
David: Yep but not sure about the trees
wolfysmith: What are you sitting in?
Chip:
captmidnite1962: I read an article about Herbie Flowers not long ago..can't remember where...he had his trusty Fener Jazz bass..
captmidnite1962: Fender...
chrisloeb: yeah, Bill - he shows it in the documentary
captmidnite1962: He has had it forever...
Pete: how old is it?
chrisloeb: looks very used!
captmidnite1962: I will venture a guess..early 60's
David: OK, David is David again
Chip: Watch out David, CAFC is closing in on Villa
Chip: Or is it the other way around?
David: still think you have a ways to go Chip
chrisloeb: he probably mentions it, but most of the time he makes fun of how used it is and where all the wear comes from...
Chip:
chrisloeb: ... on the back of the instrument's body...
Grace: ........................another Fender Stratocaster was on Antiques roadshow from 1954 or 1956.......60 to 70 thousand simoleons!!! The guy bought it for $3,000. dollars a few years ago. He nearly died when they told him.
wolfysmith: Not after todays last minute disaster Chip
Pete: Chip...Charlton?
Chip: Don't tell me I have bad news. I haven't checked in lately.
Chip: yep, Pete.
Pete: ok...you got bad news mate
Chip: When I went to the Valley while I was in London, I tried throwing my name around. It didn't get me anywhere
Pete: lllooooooolllllaaaaaaaa
wolfysmith: they lost to Spurs 2-1 today. equalised in the 89th minute. then let 1 in with 30 secs left!
Pete: going back to the bass.....does it look as bad as Rory Gallaghers guitar?
captmidnite1962: John Entwistle bought an original Gibson Explorer for about 3000 bucks..he said you ciould have bought a house for what he could sell it for
Chip: Typical. I knew moving just above relagation was too good to be true.
chrisloeb: yes, Pete - that's a good comparison
captmidnite1962: Rory's Strat...no guitar is as road worn as that!
Chip: Didn't they replicate Rory's guitar?
Pete: no varnish
captmidnite1962: Well maybe Roy Buchanan's Tele...
chrisloeb: Eric Bell's Fender Strat is on the way to look like that too...
captmidnite1962: The Custom Shop might have done one of Rory's guitar
captmidnite1962: Or Sting's p-Bass..
Pete: Bill...whats your bass?
captmidnite1962: John Sykes' Les Paul has heavy wear too..
captmidnite1962: I have an American Standard Jazz Bass...the pickguard was added later
Pete: coool
captmidnite1962: They call it "MOTO" which i think stands for "Mother Of Toilet Seat"
chrisloeb: I don't know about Sting, Bill - isn't he too neurotic for a worn instrument?
Pete: loooooooooooooool
captmidnite1962: *snickering*
Grace: how do you people know which guitar model is which? Just by seeing somebody playing it?
chrisloeb:
captmidnite1962: In regard to his axe..he makes an exception!
chrisloeb: sorry 'bout the tech talk, Grace
captmidnite1962: The guitar nerd in me is bubbling to the surface!
Grace: np not at all, but this is such detailed information, I only notice what color a guitar is, and I'm not too good at which year/model it is, for cars either
David: you guys should visit "The Vault" run by the Hard Rock - they have some in various cities around the world - they're packed with some famous classic instruments and more....
Grace: but everybody seems to know what's what
chrisloeb: back to HF: do a google picture search with herbie flowers fender jazz bass - it's the first hit! big pic.
chrisloeb: or see it directly
HERE.
captmidnite1962: I bet it is..and I have heard of The Vault...
captmidnite1962: Impressive stuff!!
Chip: I went in the HR's vault in London. Loads of cool stuff.
captmidnite1962: Just go to 48th Street in NYC..it will blow your mind!
Grace: yeah, the Vault....where they keep videos of GH's performances at the HRH....never to see the light of day
Chip: Grace, those are in the basement, below the vault.
captmidnite1962: There is a store in London..Maverick Music...they have a collection of star's axes..
Grace: wow.........................some people get a really good tour of the building.............your name must rate at some places, Chip
Chip: Not really. London's HR give free tours of the vault
chrisloeb: ... and to answer the question, HF's Jazz bass is from 1959.
Grace: that must have been very special to see
captmidnite1962: Hmm..must be a prototype...
Pete: 59!!!!!!!!!...bloody 'ell!!!!!!!.........cheers bill
