Ooh, ooh, that is a good point I've oft wondered: What exactly are 
people hoping for or expecting from a Geordie solo album? Hell, what is 
your dream outcome for a Geordie solo project? I ask because I love 
Geordie's work as much as anyone (well, okay, there are definitely 
people here who get a little more aroused at the thought than I, but 
let's not split hairs), but in general, guitarists' solo albums usually 
don't do much for me. Something always feels lacking with guest 
vocalists, or no vocals, or no influence from the musician's typical 
friends. Throw in vocals from someone like Chris Connolly and then it 
really sabotages it for me.

But it seems after every Joke release, people yearn for a Geordie solo 
effort in the hopes that it will recapture his Fire Dances/Night 
Time/_____ form. Great riffs can only go so far, though right? I listen 
to a couple Damage Manual tracks every blue moon just to hear the 
Geordie riffs, but the rest of the sound surrounding it keeps me from 
doing that more often. How likely is that scenario to happen with a 
Geordie solo project?

Wondering what people think and hope...
