[mikeyboy]

<p>Lifted from Wackbag:</p><p>Anthony's brother Joe here...I'm in need of a little &quot;assistance&quot;....I entered a guitar &quot;shredding&quot; contest online hosted by Volkswagen.You've all seen the commercials with Slash, John Mayer, and Nigel Tufnel playing through their brand new Volkswagen vehicle's stereo system. I'm up for being voted on this week.<br />If you have a minute please cast your votes. There are some pretty lame players, and some real good ones as well. Voting is almost as easy as navigating <a href="http://www.foundrymusic.com/" target="_blank"><font color="#6600ff">www.Foundrymusic.com</font></a> !!<br /><br />SERIOUS VOTING ONLY!! <br />To get to the &quot;guitar battle&quot; (lame term they use) start here: <br /><a href="http://www.vdubsrock.com/?ic_id=edh_vdubsrock" target="_blank"><font color="#6600ff">http://www.vdubsrock.com/?ic_id=edh_vdubsrock</font></a> <br />2. click on the &quot;Calling all rock stars&quot; link. (...that's pretty lame too)<br />3. Click on the &quot;Judge The Battles&quot; link.<br />4. Use the arrows, the page scrolls to the right.<br />5. Go to the 6th battle...you'll see the title &quot;Brother Joe&quot; on the li'l fake Television set.<br />6. Hit play and watch me blow out a ripping cool solo, and then click the li'l box below the video...(or not, if you don't think I'm a better player than my opponent)<br />And that's it!! I believe you can vote once per day. Thanks for your continued support...JC</p>

good seeing all the sites pull together for brother joe :)<br />

<p>Brother Joe is one of the nicest and most genuine guys I've ever met. I had the pleasure of playing 2 shows with his U2 cover band (once we warmed up for them and then vice versa) and he offered me full use of his amps, guitar stands, pedals, etc.&nbsp; </p><p>Some guys are real pricks when it comes to their musical equipment, but Joe had a &quot;what's mine is yours&quot; kind of attitude that made me like him instantly. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The man can also play guitar.&nbsp;</p>

[Recyclerz]

<p>I would have voted for him anyway but GVAC is right, Joe is pretty damn good.</p>

Just bumping this back to the top.&nbsp;He has over 1000 votes now. <img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" width="18" height="18" />

<p>done </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>but just for arguements sake, does the guy really need the guitar?&nbsp; does he really deserve to/want to win like this?</p>i know its a stupid VW contest and i in no way mean disrespect to joe, i allways enjoyed when he and his songs were on the radio and i have nothing but love.
