Did you watch them all? What did you think? And who else but George could set up a huge stack of amps right in the middle of the desert, point them at some sleepy neighboring town and crank that shiz up to 11?!?

And why was your Monday crappy?

Yes, I watched them all. I have the Souls of We shirt he has on in the 2nd one. Desert thing was a little out there ... just like George.

Just the usual Monday work stuff ...

I'm hoping to go myself. Keep me posted! Andy Timmons formerly of Danger Danger will be there, too! GREAT guitar player!

I'll be there Saturday night.

Next weekend. I think I'll be there for the Saturday night jam; I got class covered and talked my sister into going with.

I like George Lynch. Dude just looks like a bad ass.

Well, that was a fun little weekend shindig with the Guitar God, Mr. Scary, and Uncle Ted ... sorry to have missed connecting, Kennee.

How close did you get? Was it crowded? More details!!!

Front row center for Lynch this afternoon; he played with the house band of mainly Texas guitar guys, so it was all blues except an impromptu rendition of Mr. Scary. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but the other guys on the stage looked like they might have been getting irked with George indulging himself on some pretty long jam runs.

Side of the stage up pretty close for Neal last night; he did 4 songs with a different house band; he looked and sounded wonderful and got a really warm reception from the crowd; folks were clearly loving him, and he looked like he was having a blast.

Up close on the side for Nugent this afternoon; he had Derek St. Holmes and Rob Grange with him; sounded fabulous, but the political ranting was turned up as high as his guitar. Since I'm as far to the left as he is to the right, I found it pretty tiresome. He did Stanglehold and Cat Scratch fever, much to the delight of the crowd. Seemed like 8 guys for every 2 women; maybe that's usual at guitar festivals; first one I've ever been to.

Expected jam with all these guys together never materialized as far as I saw. Ken was there last night; maybe he caught something I missed.

All in all, Sis and I had lots of fun; I'd definitely do it again.

Strange for Lynch to have his own set and they get irked when he wants to showcase! Maybe I misunderstood what the festival was about. Sounds more like they were guests rather than stars with their own sets?

There was not a jam at the end where everyone comes back on and jams together. It was a weird weekend to say the least but Neal was awesome. We left before the end when all of the really strange heavy metal dudes showed up on stage. I knew the jam at the end would not materialize when I saw George Lynch leave shortly after his jam and get into a Mercedes parked right next to my truck.

Also, on Saturday night, Lynch was clearly having guitar problems because he spent probably half of his time sitting at the side of the stage trying to get his guitar to tune. He finally came back out to center stage with a new guitar that still had the price tag hanging from it. I was 4th row center & I could read the price on the tag - $15,000.
