David: Hi Conchita
Conchita: HELLLLLOOOO in there!
Shirean: Hello
Conchita: Good afternoon Mr & Mrs H! Where is everyone?
Shirean: Its still early
David: It's always slow at the beginning - don't know why, but always has been!
Conchita: ah ok...I'll wait then for everone to turn up
Conchita: I just got the news about Mel...sending him lots of good vibes and positive thoughts.
Shirean: us too!
David: Hi Chip
Conchita: hello Chip!
Chip: Hello everyone
Shirean: Hi Chip
Chip: Hi Shirean
Chip: Small group today, huh?
Shirean: Did you get your package ok?
David: It always starts slow...
Chip: Yes I did. Thanks.
David: So the new album is practically all done, should have some more news this week with any luck.
Conchita: GREEEEEEAT!
Chip: Yet again, sounds like the new album will be quite different then the previous.
David: It's a very exciting time - good vibes all around for this one. Can't wait to hear it.
David: He went down a storm at NAMM the other day, lots of new faces got to see Big Daddy
David: Hi Christian
Conchita: Guten Abend, Chris!
Chip: Hello Christian
chrisloeb: Hello everyone
chrisloeb: Just read the official statement from Mel...
Conchita: I was shocked
Chip: A real shame. Just when things were falling in place, this happened.
chrisloeb: Exactly, Chip
Conchita: truly
chrisloeb: I mean he has gone through serious s**t with his arms already - at the peak of world-wide success, and now this...
David: Again, keep it positive and we should see him hit the stage sooner rather than later.
chrisloeb: arm that is, sorry
David: Hi Grace
Conchita: Hi Grace!
Chip: Yeah, I'm sure he'll be back. Eager to get on stage again.
Shirean: Hi Grace
chrisloeb: Hi Grace
Chip: Hi Grams...oops sorry. I meant Grace
Conchita: I hear an ax being sharpened...
Grace: hello everybody, sorry I'm late...well, I guess that I know what the topic is......
Grace: Hey....I know where you people live
Shirean: Looks like everyone had a good time at NAMM
chrisloeb: Conchita - did you have everything booked yet? I reckon Nathalie and Inma had...
Conchita: hi Tony
chrisloeb: Hi Tony
Chip: Hi Tony.
tony g: hi all ghp peoples sorry to hear about mel
Conchita: No Chris I didn't book yet - I was waiting till February in order to sort out some things
Shirean: Hi Kat,Tony
Conchita: Hi Kat
Kat: howdy
Grace: ....and that's Grammy Grace, hunny!
Chip: Hi Kat.
chrisloeb: you're on axe strike, Grace?
Grace: Just like the music awards.
Kat: hi chip
David: Glenn went down a storm at NAMM the other night.
tony g: cool
Chip: Any video yet?
David: Did you get a chance to hear the new stuff from Jeff Kollman, Chad Smith etc - not as funky as I had expected, but still good to hear...
tony g: David do you know who leather tongue is?
David: Hopefully this week Chip
Chip: Cool.
David: Hmmm, sounds familiar....perhaps the support band.
tony g: in detroit?
Chip: Still need to check out the new stuff from Jeff and Chad.
tony g: is their cd out yet
David: No Tony, I think next month or April! They have to come up with a band name first
tony g: jeff kolman chad cd
tony g: ok
Grace: David, give us a clue. Dare I hope that the new CD has a decent photograph of Glenn ~ SMILING ~ on the cover?
chrisloeb: Unnamed Chad/Jeff Band: IMO They sound like a Fusion Jam Band, they're all excellent players and have an excellent sound, but the material doesn't stand as much out as I had expected. Perhaps they need a singer?
Grace: I thought that we were all supposed to be working on a name for the band?
Shirean: We haven't seen the artwork yet
chrisloeb: Has anybody come up with the right 'K' word yet?
Shirean: Nope
Grace: Nobody needs to hear me whining AGAIN about Glenn's album covers....
chrisloeb: so the guessing continues...
Shirean: Yes
tony g: where did you hear the new kollman chad music chris?
Grace: Oh, it's not KABOOM then?
chrisloeb: NAMM videos, Tony!
tony g: you tube?
Shirean: JeffKollman.com too
tony g: thank you
chrisloeb: no, right
here, 16 post down
David: There in the Video sub-forum in the Off Topic section of the Fan Forum ... tony
chrisloeb: think I got the tag totally wrong!?
David: Here's the
direct link tony
David: But yeah, you'll find them on YouTube and on Jeff's very own web site.
tony g: thank you all im interested in anything jeff kollman
chrisloeb: Shirean:, totally OT: I was DJing yesterday night, and put on The Immigrant Song from Ann Wilson's latest album - I got 4 requests from people in the club who wanted to know who that was and where they could get it...
Kat: nice
Shirean: Very COOL Chris
Shirean: Heart were at NAMM too they played a private show last night for the dealers.
Shirean: Wish I could have gone.
Conchita: Awww thanks!
Conchita: Shirean...Heart played last night? Damn that must have been a killer for you to miss it!
Shirean: Yes indeed
Shirean: They are coming to Orlando in March so I'll see em then.
Kat: You going to catch them this year again at Universal's Mardi Gras?
tony g: chris arent you coming out with a cd? you know i gotta have one
Grace: Not to insult anybody who's already here....but I thought wolfy would be here, in case there were any up-dates about Mel, or did I miss any because i was late getting here?
Shirean: Yes Kat, maybe I'll see you there.
Conchita: no he hasn't been here yet
chrisloeb: Yes Tony, we're working on it. Should be finished and ready around the summer. The Spooky Tooth gig is our no.1 priority at the moment, but recording is still underway nevertheless...
chrisloeb: Wolfy e-mailed that he's sorry, he won't be on the chat
tony g: i finally got a ticket to see glenn!!!!!!!!! and i can see that im the only one here that hasnt seen him
Shirean: I'll be hanging out with the Heartmongers!
tony g: cool chris
Chip: I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here..but I think Mel goes in for more tests later this week. So it's no news until then.
Kat: tony it's been so long it's starting to feel like I never have seen him
tony g: does mel smoke?
Chip: Yes, he does.
chrisloeb: Tony, you will love every second of your first Glenn gig!
tony g: i know i will, but i want to know who leather tongue is
chrisloeb: is that a support band?
Conchita: let's hope for the best for Mel
tony g: i think so chris
Chip: Probably a local band...?
Conchita: Tony, a first-time Glenn gig is an knock-you-out experience!
tony g: i cant wait
Grace: thanks for the up-dates..............
tony g: i just hope mel is ok -in these situations the best thing to due is have faith that it will all work out
Conchita: Wolfy told me Glenn will be coming to Italy in May...in order not to jinx myself I won't make any plans till the time comes!
tony g: be as positive as you can
David: notice the poster Tony
David: www.myspace.com/leathertongue
Chip: Wolfy said Mel was in good spirits yesterday.
tony g: you sound like me Conchita - im waiting for feb 24
tony g: thanks David
Shirean: We should get word this week of the tour dates.
David: yeah, end of May Conchita - officially confirmed dates coming soon!
Conchita: After having glenn and Matt Filippini play in my back yard last year - and missing it! - I'll plan it all in May!
Grace: I think that by now (and with wolfy beating Mel with a stick, as instructed) that Mel knows that all of the Crazy People are standing with him, and wishing him all the best
Conchita: you took the words out of my mind, Grace
Grace: Besides, Rock Stars are TOUGH!
Conchita: mouth!
tony g: your right Grace
Grace: Hey, I made Conchita lose her mind!
Kat: lol
Conchita: no, I lost that a LONG time ago!
tony g: thanks David, leather tongue sounds alright
tony g: David and Shirean are you both going to detroit?
Shirean: David is going.
Grace: Conchita...Good dooggie!
tony g: cant make it Shirean? children to watch?
Shirean: yep, child to watch and lost the toss
Conchita: *rolls over and heels for Grace!*
Shirean: Is anyone else going to Detroit? Chip?
Grace: tony....if you get a chance read my post about how totally stupid I was when first met Glenn, and recently in New York, too. As long as you don't take any stupid pills, you should do OK..........
when you finally see and meet our boy.
David: there should be more US dates later in the year.....late Summer, early Fall timeframe....with any luck...
Chip: I can't make Detroit. About a week later, I'm heading across the pond to visit Wolfy.
Kat: us uh huh yeah
tony g: i hope im alright if i get a chance to meet him Grace - i almost had a heart attack talking to jeff kollman and shane gallas
Shirean: Have a good trip Chip.
Conchita: I hope you do get to meet him - provided of course that there aren't over-zealous security guards
tony g: my hands were shaking so bad when shane gallas wanted to take a pic with donna that the damm thing didnt come out
Chip: Thanks Shirean. Hope to meet up with fellow GHCP, Chris Spencer, when we travel up to Edinburgh.
Kat: sounds like a neat trip Chip
Shirean: How fun make sure and take some pics for us!
tony g: it does sound great chip
Grace: what kat just said.........................
Chip: No worries about the photos. Last time I was over there, I took over 800. For sure we'll take one with Chris, Wolfy and myself.
Shirean: No Todd?
Chip: Hopefully in our GH attire
tony g: i was hoping to meet some of you in detroit but hey maybe in the fall if things work out
Chip: No Todd this trip. He's got diapers to change.
Kat: lol
Shirean: 
tony g: todd might be out of action for a year or two
Chip: I agree Tony.
Shirean: Tony just look out for David, he will be there.
tony g: todd wont be able to help it
tony g: yes i hope to see you David.
Chip: Glad to hear there might be more U.S. shows later this year.
tony g: lets hope so
Shirean: Me too!
Kat: hearing is a long way from experiencing
Grace: kat and I will believe it when we're there, right kat?
Kat: that's right
Conchita: y'all have a great time!
tony g: have faith young ones
Grace: ba-loney
Kat: meanwhile we just get to be envious of everyone elses great times
David: Glenn will also be doing some of the Rock'n'Roll Fantasy Camp's - so aside from solo gigs, he should be out and about with them....like the one coming up in Hollywood, CA. next month.
Kat: ever hopeful tony, but...
Chip: Didn't VH1 use to air those fantasy camps?
David: Simon Kirke, Elliot Easton, Kelly Keagy, Brian Wilson, Micky Dolenz and more will be joing him on that one! There is always a final "open to the public" performance on the last day. Last one was held at BB King's in NYC a couple of months ago.
Kat: sounds cool David
chrisloeb: that's an old Glenn pic on the Detroit gig poster...
Grace: we need somebody to attach a "lo-jack" device on Glenn so we can keep up with him
Chip: Betcha Gabi's already installed one.
David:
Kat: lol
chrisloeb: David, you're listening to Sweet Tooth, again?
Grace: If I may be permitted to say so :..........the man's just gotta' keep on moving
Grace: Good doggie, Chip
tony g: san diego is giving new england a much harder time than the patriots thought the would
Grace: oops, we're gonna' be in an awful lot of trouble if Glenn reads this chat
Conchita: The game I'm wating for starts at 6:30!

David: Yeah, the Euro tour dates should be confirmed in the next few days, as you may have seen, some are trickling out, but nothing officially confirmed, just quite yet.

David: you can change it in the "Options" section on the right side here in the CHAT window.....
tony g: i wanna make mine purple
Kat: lol
purplemusic: the new you tube clips from the naam show are cool w/ the new instumental band w/ chad and the rest of glenn's band
David: By the way, we're still considering switching over to a "Flash" based CHAT system vs. this one which is Java - we're still working out the kinks and once it is usable we'll try it out one month to see how everyone get's on with it.....
chrisloeb: never saw that options box!
tony g: cool David
Grace: another contest to name the band, maybe, David?
chrisloeb: Shouldn't we find out first what the 'K' stands for?
David: Yeah Grace....on one of those clips you can hear Jeff say...."we're taking suggestions"
David: Yeah, it's fun watching that thread Chris
chrisloeb: isn't Jeff asking for beer too?
tony g: i gotta see it!!!!
Kat: lol
chrisloeb: let me check that again...
tony g: i saw him drink corona
Grace: well I just want to be the first to suggest "The Ax Murderers of New Jersey"....it's got kind of a snappy ring to it, doesn't it? Hey ~ no laughing, you people. I hear you.
tony g: guitar in one hand-corona in the other
Grace: the Corona All-Stars?
Kat: typical Grace - you want it named after yourself lol
tony g: good one Grace
Grace: yeah, yeah, all this phoney sincerity from you people.......
Kat: lol
Conchita:
tony g: is the weather good in palermo this time Conchita?
Conchita: After a really cold December, the weather is back to normal now - it was about 60 degrees today
Conchita: Haven't turned the heating on in 2 weeks
tony g: i woke up to minus 4 degrees
Conchita: I know - my dad is back in NY and he's not used to the NY cold anymore! He can't wait to come back!
David: Whatever the temperature, it's a lot warmer than Detroit in late February
tony g: so what Grace said has some merit they got a thing around here called lake effect snow
Conchita: Detroit must be brutally cold in February!
purplemusic: i dont know what temp. it is here in chas. , but i just judge the weather by ok for riding the bike, or too cold and today was too cold
Kat: lol
tony g: we gotta hope its alright then
purplemusic: and im guessing snow in detriot. i think i better get that insurance for that rental car
Conchita: well, at least it's an indoor gig, and for those who have the hotel nearby it can't be all that bad
chrisloeb: it's too warm for the season and very windy here in Vienna... this and more adds up to me feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment...
purplemusic: yeah, im more concerned w/ getting from the airport to the hotel and back
Conchita: Phon winds, Chris?
chrisloeb: Phon - is that the name of the storm, like last years' Kyrill?
Grace: but the good news is...........if you get stuck in a flash blizzard WHILE the show is going on, then Glenn can singa medley for you all of 4,312 of your favorite GH hits
Conchita: Phon are the wery warm winds that hit central Europe now and then
Conchita: ...provided the battery doesn't go dead!
purplemusic: well in that case, im hoping for that flash blizzard
chrisloeb: I'm learning something again, Conchita!
David: Well folks, it's time to call it a day....the next
Monthly CHAT will be on
Sunday, February 17th at the usual time...
Kat: ok bye all
Conchita: Good night, one and all - great to see you all here!
