Joe: I've recently finished your new album, but what can be said that hasn't been said? My breath has been taken away at the sheer brilliance of it all. You've still got it, old man. You've still got it. *L*
can only handle about one song at a time. too much of a banquet to listen to
more than a few minutes at a time. could never,ever stand one of your concerts.
sometimes you are just too overwhelming to take, not that it isn't appreciated,
just that it boggles my little soul. hope that you are well, booboo.
Yayogakk: Couldn't agree with you more. The fact that someone can play fast, or play 32nd note sweep arpeggios (Yngwie, anyone???...) doesn't necessarily make them good. If they are creative, good examples being Vai and Sarch, that's all that matters. Sometimes it can be one single well placed note that stands out rather than in your face shred. Frank Zappa - a prime example. His death is a tragedy, but what he left behind, is astounding. So, to sum it all up, your comments, Hendrix, make you sound both foolish and childish. Get over the fact that someone can play very fast and look at the stuff that matters: the notes.
Hey Joe.. I have been listening to your music sonce i was 4 years old and now I'm 15 and a guitar player for 6 years now.. Back form the day of the long car rides between houses .. Well anyways here's what I have to say abotu your music Joe..It fing rocks Joe.. I remember the first timelistened to you music it was crushing day from you album Srufing With The Alien... And I have loved everyone of your albums.. I havent met someone who has listened and loved you music as much as I have.. And the soun don you new CD is very foreign for me. I was stunned when I listened the new CD.. I had grown so used to and loved the style of you playing the guitar.. always the guitar was the most emphasized in all your previous albums. In "Engines of Creations" it was more techno. Now I have never been a fan of techno. But on the new cd I found some really kick ass songs. Like Flavor Crystal 7, or Until We Say Goodbye.track 8, sorry dont have cd with em to remember song name.. and finally Slow and Easy.. Which for some reason made me think about all the real things that matter in life.. On everyone one of your CD's you have alwasy had a slow song that made me want to cry. i;m gonan name them from first CD to last.. 1.Crush of Love 2.Always With Me, Always With You 2.Rubina 3.I Believe 4. Cryin' 5.(You're)My World 6. All Alone & Thinking of You 7. Love Thing 8. Until We Say Goodbye These are all in order form first album to last. Now Joe Plz I beg of you the next time you make a album. Plz have the guitar style and the sound of the music similari to the way you made Surfing With The Alien, Not OF This Earth, Flying In A Blue Dream and The Extremist. Well good luck to you Joe and godspeed.
With love and respect, Derek Sanders of Illinois
hi. i have a question regarding an mp3 i downloaded. i found a great song called "still got the blues", supposedly by joe satriani. but in my online searches, i have only heard of a song by this name by stanley jordan. is this another hoax like "metal mission impossible"? just curious. thanks.

HENDRIX: who told you that? EVH might have been back in 1979 but not now...... who cares since vai is the most technically gifted of them all! but he cant write the beautiful songs joe does..... its all based on preference but if you sit and think about it for a while you come to realize vai is the tech wiz and joe writes better "songs"
WEll ... Joe after having listened "really listened" ... to your new album ...
Im still astonished .. that you can "scope" the sound! ... You know what you
want and how you want it ... "i take my hat off" - as we say here ... I respect
it fully!!!
Your sound reflects, well off the walls of the up-beat tempo, that you have been longing to do for ages ... I KNOW !!! :) ...
You really have the dynamics ... along with the melodic sequences on your
compositions. My theory of this album ... is that ... I think you´ve had fun
making it ... Its far more progressive than your "usual" compositions ... :)
I think that Eric Caudieux really ... enjoyed working with you and vice versa ...
- You both "feeded" each other with special inputs ... favorizing ... the MUSIC as a whole!-
Please have in mind ... I LOVE LOVE LOVE ... your prior work ... to its MAXIMUM!
Your 4th song on your new CD "untill we say goodbye" is almost my favourite ...!
But I have still longed for "THIS" ... that you´ve managed to produce ... -so d#mn fast-
Its unbeleivable ... :) hehehehe ... again again ... -nice work- "thumbs up"
Be thankfull You have an understanding family!!! :) ... They give the last edge one needs to fullfill such an "experimental" album as THIS !!!
- ThankYou!!! -
Joe ... When all comes to all ... You´ll always be my man ... "#10 Slow and Easy ...
Well ... it speaks for itself ... but for heavens sake ppl ... listen listen LISTEN_ !!!
Cant you all hear it ... Its the sound of the gods ... under a heavy rain.
You really ... managed to create an ambience I´ve forgotten since "who knows" ... WOW
... It´s allllll in the "fingers" Good work Joe ... may You always have
this "wealth" that you have ... to "create" such music .. that inspires most of us ...
and lets us "expire" once again ...! *aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
-Thankyou- ... The best of wishes to You and Your family ... from Morty in Denmark.

Hendrix:
Maybe so, but who's more creative? Joe stimulates the brain cells to think more than Eddie. Don't get me wrong - Eddie is a phenomenal guitarist, but when it comes to creativity, Joe is a notch or two above EVH.
Hey Joe! Just wanted to let you know that you are a true inspiration. With your latest (amazing!) record, you renewed my faith in guitar and rock! I trully feel you speak to me with your playing. PLEASE, PLEASE come to Mexico!!! If you do, I promise the best tequila, nice chat and nice señoritas!
Thanks Joe.
on April, 12th. 2000,Sacramento, CA, you will have quite a few online fans in the front Joe....we can't wait, look for the "sign" I'll have two of my boys with me ( 13 & 8 )..., 10 days to go !! WOOHOO!!.......turkey turkey turkey
Hey joe, i think that sum of ur guitar playing is awesome, is it possibile to get an autograph from u, im a big fan, please tell me hear or email me thanx alot
joe , forgive me , such haste with my comments re EOC. The change threw me and i'm now overwhelmed with what really is a cd crammed packed with so many moments.
Joe, do you remember about a year ago, you asked us "web site fans" if we knew of any cool software for the PC? ... I remember now that I replied to the question and recommended Steinberg's "Re-Birth" program for making drum and bass loops. I was a little surprised after reading your article in guitar world yesterday, when you said you actually used the "re-birth" program.. Not that it's important, but I was just wondering if you got the idea from this web site.. are you still writing much music with the computer lately?
Date: Sun Apr 2 11:08 Renegade (Pete)<echo@echo117.screaming.net>:
Joe, just out of curiosity. what music and what artists do you listen to when you need to mellow out? What songs give you a shiver down your spine and send you into your own world? I had to ask. By the way, do you still keep incontact with Kirk Hammett? Out of all the material I have read on both you and him, neither of you talk about the other much. Take care, yours Pete Hawthorne. :)
I am here to testify the fact that occurred in my bedroom: Mr. Potatoe came like his daughter low and moving only with the head from feet position to next my head. She used to disturb him like this to ask about future operations (US matters). Come on, talk to me guys.
FYI - Alvin posted a comment about Satch going the same way as Paul Cipro. I have the two albums Cipro put out in 80 and 81 - and yes, it was experimental, heavy, guitar instrumental stuff... When he put out 'Prozac Superman' in 91 (?) if flopped - but not because he went 'techno' but because he went pop! He added vocals, and changed his style totally. Satch has incorporated techno into his new CD - not 'gone' techno. There's no comparison - and Cipro was really an unknown during his 'heyday' - Satch can do whatever he wants and people will respect and buy it. Give this CD another listen - or a few more listens...
Joe, I saw your interview in the May issue of Guitar World. It was great. I just have one question. How can you say that you don't hear any of yourself in the playing of Kirk Hammett and Larry LaLonde? I don't hear it much, but I do hear little snippets of their solos sometimes that tell me, "Yup, that guy was taught by Satriani."
Hey Joe, I just got done listening to the power cosmic part 1 and 2. Thats my favorite song on the cd. This whole new cd of yours is great. I think I like it so much because it reminds me of some of the video games I used to really enjoy playing, since the music in them was a lot like the music on your new cd. But this time there's your awsome musicianship and guitar work. Now for the tour. Are you going to come to detroit michigan? Please do.
Dear,
Joe, i was so confuse, your scales sound different and enigmatic! So,
any idea what you doing and if there any scales you are using, i mean
any other scales? I`am very-very impress with your playing and with
your sweet melodies.
Hey joe.how it going just wanted to tell you that i`m one of your biggest fans.
I have all your albums apart from the new one but its on order.
I think the stuff is so cool.Just keep making the album`s and i`ll be buyin them.
On the new album tour is there any chance of you playing NORTHERN IRELAND cause
there is a huge amount of your fans here just dying to here u live. So if u could that would be great.
keep up the good work and hope to see you live.
And if you ever hear of a band named swerve, a support slot would be appreciated we`ll send u a demo.
ok. take it easy and just let the songs flow out.
Hi, Joe. I just wanted to say, that I love and enjoy your music (what a surprise to read this on your web site...!?). Where do get all these unbelievable melodies from?? Great to join your fan-club after almost 15 years as a passive listener and as one of these unknown students of your playing. Are there actually any plans to come to Europe again, maybe even Germany? Would be great to see you live again. To all you German folks out there: Help me and ask for a tour over here, 'cause together we're strong!
hey joe! i'm from germany and i only wanted to say that i really do love your music !!!!!!
please come to germany so that i can see you live for the first time !!!?
- ahh, by the way, is there any possibility for me to get "the satch tapes" ?
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE CAN I FIND A GOOD MIDI FILE OF "UNTIL WE SAY GOODBYE"???? ... IF IT ALREADY EXISTS...
THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Joe,
I'm from Bombay,India and really think you are the best guitarist around. I have every single album of yours including your work on Merry Axemas-1. Of all i like Crystal Planet and Surfing with the alien the best (although i think your best work ever has been on crystal planet). I was in NYC in mid-march and bought EOC (i was disappointed that i could not get the bonus CD though). After listening to the album i have the following to say:
I am not a techno fan at all, infact i hate techno and dance music, your playing is very good as usual but i would not say this is a 'pure guitar album'...maybe that is what you were trying to do, come out with something different (i think you have guts to do so). Anyway, coming back to what i was saying, i think this album is very entertaining on the whole and the electronic beats in the background are not too bad. All in all a good JS album but not something i would recommend for a first-time JS listener to pick up.EOC surely is an album which grows on you. My favourite songs are Flavor Crystal 7 and Power cosmic 2000-part 2.
You sure do rock man. PLEASE plan a tour to India, it would great to see you live.
**Hey Satch, I think you should release an "acoustic" album. You should listen to "BUCKETHEAD'S" album, "Colma". And draw from that. That album is incredible, and every song on it, is unique and awwe inspiring. You should do an acoustic album, but one of real somber guitars and lots, and lots of delay, reverb and echo. So, check out BUCKETHEAD on "Colma".**
hey joe glad to see you finally on the road again...cant wait to see you in portland...just have to ask why the crystal ballroom this time?...but hope things are well with you and yours...lates..andrea
DREW: hmmm i must be missing something or im hearing something you arent, i cant hear any similarities between the extremist and any smashing pumpkins or stone temple....i just cant hear, joe you playing some classical music would be excellent! that would better show your immense talent than techno..... not like the yngwie stuff but more like trans siberian orchestra or something where its not all guitar but everyting comes into the mix, piano, violin, guitar....it would be awesome! i wonder what summer song would sound like on piano?
Joe you have large fans in Portland Or. please bring some 2XL shirts to town when you come.
Thanks for all the great tunes!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you again in Portland!!!
Mr. X and the Satch Gang
Joe, I still need to find out if you plan making any in store appearances in Southern California? And, if you have any suprises on the tour. Cant waiit two more weeks.
Whats up Joe??/ I am SOOO excited about the Warfield show...it should be a very fun experience for all...one question: Any singing?? Are you gonna bust out Big Bad Moon for San Fran??? lol...let me know -neil mulgrew
Joe - Every bio I read concerning you states that you started playing guitar around 1970 & by 1971 you were teaching others (that is so rude of you to have picked up on it that quickly). Did you have prior musical experience, like on the piano or something?
Hey Joe,
First time poster, longtime reader. I love the new album. I love all your albums. The melodies you dream up speak right to my heart. My favorite tracks on the new album are The Power Cosmic 2000 Part 1 and Part 2. Add me to the list of people who tried hard to find the "Additional Creations" bonus CD but failed. It'd be really cool if you could some MP3's of those tracks on your web page.
Also, add me to the list of people who desperately want you to come to Ohio, Cleveland preferably. Anywhere in western Pennsylvania, say Pittsburgh would be great too. I've been trying to find friends who would be willing to do a road trip to Chicago or DC (the closest places to Cleveland that you're coming), but that will be too expensive and time consuming for us poor busy college students.
Joe, I tell my friends that I, "NEED TO SEE JOE". I have to see how you make these wonderful sounds come from a guitar. Please come to this area of the country! I saw Steve Vai when he came to Cleveland on his Ultra Zone tour and I was blown away. I love hearing people play electric guitars! I'm sure seeing you would be even better!!
Listening to Engines of Creation and thankful that there is music like this that is out there. I have been a consumate fan since 88. See you in Philly !
Joe: Dude I have been a fan for so many years I can't even remember. You have truely been an insperation and I just want to thank you. I've been a student of music for fifteen years or so, both formal and through osmosis. Now I'm 29, I have a wonderful family and a job that pays the bills. For the last year I have hardly practiced. This is the first time in my life I haven't had the time to do what I truely love. I've developed a pactice that keeps me in shape but I haven't had the time to compose. This period of my life has taought me to appriciate much of the music/guitarists that I would be so critical of in the past. I had only liked players that spent their mind, body and soul for the total whole of guitar. Guys like you and steve. Now I realize that evn billy squire is good. I know in a way like I've never known, the love of music. This last year is likebeing away from your kids, be it oranges to apples, but none the less heart wrenching. I do hope this e-mail passes your eyes, in my world it would mean alot. I've gotten real good at my instrument, allmost like a good jazz horn player, but never was able to find the musicians to form a great thing. God has given talent but not much luck. I've gotta go, my daughters on my lap wanting to touch everything. Thanks Joe.
TIME FOR A FRESH PAGE JOE! I have a question that I would dearly love answered. I have heard many musicians say that they do not like to listen to other musicians for fear of subliminal plagerism. Now I had read one of your posts Joe that said EoC was straight from your heart, I also like the marriage of the technology with sound. My question is this: Do you or have you ever listened to Buckethead? I fell in love with Monsters And Robots first, EoC has a similar flavor for me, then I got Colma, holy macaroni. Boyz got mad skillz! Just thought that you would also like his material. Keep on keeping on Joe! (p.s. I just got the bonus CD tracks, I LOVE them, wish you hadn't made them so limited, I would LOVE a copy of the CD.)»»»»»»»»»» Phy³ . . .
Just picked up tix for the Austin show. My brother and I will be there right in front, right in front of Joe's mike (Its general admission). We are making a three day trip out of it. We are gonna hit New Braunsfels and canoe the Guadalupe River on friday and saturday after the concert. Its gonna be a blast. Seeya **Peace**

Hi Joe! Thanks a lot for answering all of my ? on the www.checkout.com
chat! Very nice... It would be cool to have it available on your site in
Realvideo... or in Quicktime. I'm hoping to see you in Montreal soon.
Oh... and "Sign O' The Times" is one of my fav too. :-)
Bye bye
thank you vayogak. i love joes music. but, we do not need him putting out a techno album. all he needs is his ibanez, a wah wah pedal, and a amp. he can make his own very creations without special effects in it. i am learning every sinlge joe song on my ibanez, but i refuse to learn a song off of engines, except for "until we say goodbye". all of joes albums i think are original, except for the new one. i am sooo glad steve vai is not putting out techno albums. him and joe go together so well, but not when u mix rock with techno. it's just wrong. joe is one of my top idols. i look up to him as a mentor for me in my music, but when he does something like that. but, if he thinks he is gonna make soem record sales off of that, thne do it. but, he is gonna lose one customer if he puts out albums like that. sorry joe.
....just finished listening to Clouds Race Across the Sky. Man, that's such a beautiful song. Reminds me a little bit of New Blues.....the chorus section, at least. Joe, your music still gives me chills; I can't say that about any other artist or band out there. You're da BEST. Keep it up.
Sinceramente, Eli (Prof Sigma Redacao) eh filho da puta! Eu nasci no 1o (Segundo Grau) ano na corversa que incluiu Lionel Richie & Diana Ross, Commodores, Chicago, guitarristas como Joe Satriani & Steve Vai, Madonna, Michael Jackson (and the five), ... || Parece que ainda estou com frio, ohu das dores no lab do Sapao xingando quem mexe no microscopio. Opss, aquela adivinhacao do apagador dentro da caixa de papelao foi um tedio; foda-se aos rippies e maconheiros so camisa (like your dress). Nao lembro que lhe ocorreu, conta um dia. POSITRON
drew..I'm sure my increased finger speed and strength will be appreciated. Do you reckon I should learn the harmonica to improve lip/tongue co-ordination? I was in London yesterday and, hidden away in the video section of the large Virgin store there, I found the videos "Joe Satriani" and "The Satch Tapes". Call me ill-informed, but I didn't even know they existed! Can you imagine my excitement..it was like discovering an unreleased test pressing or acetate of an early Joe song. I've just finished watching them both back to back, and it was a wonderful experience. I'm quite a fan of Larry Carlton and when I saw the bassist on "J.S" (Nathan East) I thought 'hey, he looks familiar'. I rummaged through my cd collection, and there he was in Four Play, with Larry Carlton. Small world, the music industry, isn't it? But then, at the end of "The Satch Tapes", a discography is given and the earliest disc shown, obviously released before SWTA, is an album with a white cover and just the name Joe Satriani shown on the front. Underneath, the dread words 'this record no longer available'. WHAT IS IT ??? I presume it consists of some of the earlier tracks subsequently released on Time Machine (eg Banana Mango, I Am Become Death etc) but I need to know. Can one of the more clued up fans tell me, please. Also, what sort of price are dealers asking for a copy? Finally, do any of the fan sites have a complete discography, including albums that Joe has worked on. I'm especially intrigued by a reference made to work Joe did with Deep Purple..have I got that right and, if so, did anything ever get committed to vinyl? Thanks in advance for any answers.
Hey guys and gals
We do not need guns to protect us from our government , we need them to protect us from those who plan to subvert our constitution and place us in a WORLD GOVERNMENT , where our bill of rights will no longer exist . So do not be anti-government , be anti-world government , there is a difference . Everyone needs a good gun , a good horse , and a great guitar . Be sure you have all or some of Joe's CD'S too .
Good evening Mr. Satriani. Yes it is I the Idaho guy. Thanks alot for not including me in your promotional bonus cd deal. Guess us the less populated areas don't count. We just get the back burner. Do we even get a burner? No way. We get the freezer. Way in back by the out dated liver 4 inches in the permafrost. Nice. Ice 9 Hey you should do a jam with johny popper. Thats serious harp. Spare the TMJ's and cut a new path. How about a box set Joe one that would include that bonus cd. Of course I'm not gonna buy a box set because I have every other cd you relesed including the import job. Oh I'll bet you have a Box set in the works including a video tape and some previously unrelesed stuff too. Include a comic book of joe/silver surfer that would be novel. charge 75$ for it for the thin sub-standard cd bundle (Not that the recording or the material would be sub-standard, no that will be a Digitaly remasterd from the origial tapes standard "Break out those spectrum analizers take a look at the head room")to collect dust because they are a been there done that thing.
just a sour note thanks for not including us in the deal joe.
Joe I have just backed home from the concert of VLATKO STEFANOVSKI trio, you must know who is Vlatko Stefanovski, because, including you, him and a lot of guitar players... You are the best... NO comment, and about this concert, It was great, I havent seen any concert like this in my life! Thank you Joe, I am sure you'll read this and replay me, Thanks... Pavle Danilov, Skopje, Macedonia - EUROPE :-)
Hey Joe. What's up? I'm sending this message to let you know you've influenced me and my guitar playing SO much. I play a lot of your older songs, especially off the extremist and surfing with the alien. Whenever I play it for people they go crazy, they especially like "satch boogie" , something about that song that people click with. Of course, I am not as good as you, but I practice your work hours and hours a day, almost religiously...Learning your songs, or attempting to for that matter, has turned me into a better guitar player, I have a new found respect for this kind of music. I even have a school talent show comin up soon and I plan on playin' one of your songs for it! No doubt I will win the show with that :)
Drew:
I'm sorry to say, but your comments about Satch's Extremist album resembling punk, or alternative rock is worng. The Extremist(the song)has more than 3 chords in its progression, and is not in a typical alternitive key, therefore is no where near alternitive rock. Also, Summer Song is no where near punk, because it's progression is not a 1-3-5 chordal progression, and it switches to a minor key at certain parts.
Hi Joe, master of guitars, I'm a hindu fan from holland living in france,
I think the most questions are asked by the other fans, but the only thinh that i want to know is: when will you give some guitar lessons to us, some tips and practises are welcome. see ya soon!!
Date: Sat Apr 1 12:48 rosster<r.traeger@juno.com>:
Hey Joe! I can't make it the Reno show so the ticket is up for auction at e-bay.
If anyone is planning to go to your 2nd show, I reserved this ticket moments after the box office opened. Oh yeah, its no reserve... hate to see a good ticket wasted. See 'ya in Chicago!
Scoot- yeah, and your girlfriend will love you for the added finger strength ;-) YAYO- You're gonna hate me for saying this, but the Extremist has a lot in common with Alternative rock, stylistically and tonally. I'd be willing to place a good amount of money on the fact that Satch was atleast aware of bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, the Smashing Pumpkins, and so on. Hell, the melody in the extremist sould almost be a soundgarden guitar solo. Do any of these bands have half the talent joe does? no. but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been influenced by them. Also, i still insist, between the chord progressions, the drum beat, and the melody, "Summer song" is pure punk rock, and that's been around on and fof since the 70's. that by no means says i don't think satriani isn't inovative or i don't like the album (the extremist is my favorite album of his), but don't just assume that just because he's extremely creative doesn't mean he wasn't influenced by other bands that were popular at the time.
michelle: With regards to you conversations past on Guns and Karma... I agree with you. If you care to converse more drop me a note. I am going out today and find A copy of EOC, this discussion of the album is getting intersting and I need to here more of it then the 2 mp3's I downloaded. Joe, I will try to be there at the State Theater in Minneapolis on the 21st, although we go on 6 day work weeks starting the 12th, with each day being about 9 to 10 hours long. The good thing is that my truck has a tape player and I have your CD's taped. Keep up your good work. I be "Burnin Pavement" -- Wild Will
Hi Joe! After being a huge fan since I was about 10 (that's 10 years) I am finally going to see you live in Toronto, Canada. It's too bad you are only visiting 2 Canadian cities, but worry not. My brother is flying to Toronto from Winnipeg (about 1000 miles away!) just to see you in concert with me. Can't wait to see you in concert! I saw Steve Vai in November, so you will just top off the list! Maybe the two of you can do a joint project again? See ya in Toronto!
Steve
Joe,
After 7 years of waiting, I am finally going to see you in concert. I am going to be at the Alberqueque show. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! I know you probably get a lot stupid requests, but you are going to do a lot of older material at the show too, right? I really hope so. Anyway, I can't wait to see you!!!!
Roger Smith
Joe-I just want to say that I think you are a God to the guitar. You have a special power with them. My father and I love you...we try and follow in your footsteps. Keep up the good work...and I hope you come to New York soon. We love you!!! Deanne and John Cleary
Been out for a while but I see nothing changes. Got EoC the other day (no bonus), I think it's great.....I'm not saying is his best work (but what the hell...CP wasn't either).....I'm very proud Joe.....PS: I agree with michelle...you don't need guns, life'll take care of them.....see ya
Hey, Marc, I can't stand Techno either, but EOC actually isn't, eh?
I loved it at once, it's a fascinating mixture, you should try it or you'll miss something!
Hi Joe,
I downloaded the tracks from your site and this inspired me to buy EOC today...
"Until we say goodbye" is great. But honestly I just have to listen the other tracks of your album a few times more because I don't like techno at all... EOC is a bit strange for me, but I am sure that I'm going to like it after I'd played it for X-times. As long as you won't take an african style... (hohoho)
joe, how can i get a copy of additional creations? i bought EOC the day it came out but Dimple Records and Wherehouse did`nt have it. i really want to hear it please help me.
Hi Joe, i'll play with my band at the bike fest tonight, one of a several italian bikers meeting. Now is in PIACENZA. Do you know this town? My guitar will be very very very very very HOT!!! HI FROM "KONTATTO ESTREMO"
Hi, Joe, and hi! to ev'ryone in the fan-club! I'm new here. I didn't listen the new Satch record yet, because here in Romania is hard enough to find quickly the newest releases on the world guitarplaying market, and I'm so sorry about it!
I'll listen to the MP3 samples from the WebSite to have an idea about how it's done... Anyway, "Crystal Planet" was great, especially 'A Train Of Angels' and 'Up In The Sky'!!! I'm playing the guitar too, but not that close to the "perfection"... And I "touched" some parts of Satch songs that I like so much.
But my poor quality guitar sounds so bad! This is not cool. When can we find Satch TABs on this site? It's really difficult to "take them up" all by myself, so I'd need to find them somewhere. If someone has the TABs of "Why" or "Echo" or "Memories", please send it to me! Thanx!
Hi there!
I LOVE the Blues...I never really thought of Joe Satriani album as being Blues, but I guess it is, which is why I just love it so much..
I love Robert Johnson, Lonnie Johnson,Muddy Waters, Howling wolf, BB King etc etc...especially Stevie Ray and "Taxman", yes!!!
The reason I logged back on here now was because, I dont want to stir things up again, but there is something I have to say...
how can ANYONE defend the US gun culture, look what happened to John Lennon in the US...HE WAS OURS!!!!!!
love from Michele(1 L..UK!)
love the new album joe. i`ve been a fan for nearly 12 years now and i think this is clearly some of your most creative work yet. is there any chance of seeing some videos for the new album on AMP/MTV? i think it would be a great frum for your music to get more noticed. you and steve have been talking about doing an album together for a long time now, not counting G3, ... what`s the hold up? the two of you obviously have similar creative ideas. and i think steve could use a good Electronica shot in the arm. thank you for always being one step ahead of the rest of us(musically). please make 2 or 3 more albums like EoC, i`m already fiending for more techno guitar brilliance, and i`ve only had the new album for two weeks.
p.s. what`s th best recording engineer school in S.F. ?
Hey Michelle, I don't think Satch breaks away from his style either on EOC. You always hear who's playing. Do you like the Blues or why is it you like the JOE SATRIANI-record so much?
my favourite EVER Joe album is "Joe Satriani", and Ive played it non-stop for the last 5 years! EOC has inspired me to start listening to some of your other stuff...I love "Extremist", its really wild. Ive had "Time Machine" on my shelf for years, only just getting into it...crazy stuff!! How can anyone say that EOC is breaking away from Joe's usual STYLE...???
Michele
Joe, some of the things that people say here are ridiculous. Why doesn't everyone stick to the theme of music? Jeez. Anyway, I have a few more suggestions for your next G3 tour. How about Al de Meola? Or John McLaughlin? Jeff Beck? Stanley Jordan - especially this guy! He is the 'tapper' of jazz guitarists!! Anyway, I know that may be a little too jazzy for your tastes, but the musicianship would be phenominal! (Not that Steve Vai or Eric Johnson aren't good) Just thought it would be a neat change. Looking forward to see you perform in VANCOUVER, CANADA. (Of course, just like everyone else, I would be in seventh heaven if you could sign a cd for me.) See ya...
Joe, what do you think about Line 6 gear? Is it just gimmicky junk? I'm a Canadian; our money is worth nothing and a solid gigging combo is about $1700. Do you think I would be wasting my money on this thing?...Hey Evbro, tell me more about Stanley Jordan. I have a few of his cds..love the live one: "Stolen Moments". His band is spectacular.
Hey JOE how are you, i was wondering if you have any of your MUSIC done for
Keyboards you know like a disk 3.5in Floppy i have the KORG " TRITON" and i would really Love if you would put out a Product Like that
Thanks GONZO
Hi Joe!!! Just bought your new album and...hmm, where to begin, actually I really HATE techno and techno-like sounds. Gary Moore and Steve Hacket got thru with it, and Gary's Techno-Blues was quite fine, in most parts. But gee, when I first listened to your new album in the store (in spite of this Gary Moore-Techno-Thing I was a little bit prejudiced, as I'll always be when it comes to Techno, even when Satch puts his fingers on it) I really was bursting!!! That was really great, and I never heard something like this before!!! It's the first time I really love this combination!! All of the tracks are great, but I like especially DEVIL'S SLIDE, FLAVOR CRYSTAL 7, THE POWER COSMIC 2000-PART I
and CHAMPAGNE?(wow, THAT is a Blues!!!). When I listen to the record it seems there is total harmony inside the music...well, sometimes it does not, sometimes there seems to be a fight between Techno and the guitar, and fortunately for all of us (sorry,ravers!!!), the guitar wins!! I really appreciate this moments full of tension, it makes EOC much better than CRYSTAL PLANET. What I'd like to know, will there be any gigs in Germany next time? Wish you a creative future and greetings to all Satch Fans out there!!!
(hey Joe, I hope it's really you who claims to read this and not a underpaid Joe Letterman writing double...sorry, that was hard, seems I'm a little bit paranoid, too much Pink Floyd in one's past is just not good for you)
P.S. If Mr. Steve Hacket should ever read this: I like your recent album, but not the TechnoBreakbeatwhateverUcallit parts - nevermind.
Joe, in your new album "Engine of Creation", why all your color of music have been difference from before ???
I just wonder.
Joe can you give me your album picture of Flying in the blue sky
Let's all remember... once Joe (or anyone else for that matter) starts basing the music he makes on market shares or public prefernces rather that what HE likes and feels in his heart, he is moving down the road to sell-out city. If you wanna think moving down a techno route was a sell-out move, go right ahead- Joe said a while back that EOC was "straight from my heart," and I believe him. It's not about my preferences or anyone else's except for Joe's. And after all, if we all agreed on everything and everyone had the same opinions, wouldn't the world be boring as hell? If you don't like EOC, don't listen to it. Go right ahead and throw it out the car window, burn it as a sacrifice to the gods of tapping, play Frisbee golf with it... constructive criticism is good, but "this sucks" is going too far.
Camel Nads: great to know that I am not the only Satch fan in KS! I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Joe seems to consider us Kansas red-headed stepchildren! Steve Vai personally promised me he would come right here to Wichita, and he DID! Papa Joe don't love us?
JOE, I haven't had to "GROW INTO" Engines like some, Loved it from first hear!I'll be at the SAN FRANCISCO show in 2 weeks, and have 2 songs I would LOVE to HEAR/SEE You play! BORG SEX and ATTACK both sound like your having so much fun playing them! A FAN!
Hi joe, your new album is great, I think your a great musican and i hope you keep making music, im going to see you at the Warfield in S.F. on april 14. IM 16 years old and ive been listening to you scince i was 11, right when i took up the guitar, this will also be the second time ill see you live, im so excited because this is my only chance to see you live before my hip replacement surgery, its kinda funny you would think i would be a lot older to have to have something like that done huh? My doctor said that even though there is a VERY small chance they could get better that i would still be in a lot of pain, this comming from a stanford doctor so i bevieve what he says. Well to get on a brighter side i got a js100 last year for my birthday, the best gift ever, ive been playing a strat i got for my 11 birthday before then. Im getting really good, im learning all the modes now. Im also saving my money to buy the Fred and PAF Pro pickups they have great sound and tonei might save for that single coil tapping switch. My parents are also big fans, its one of thoes rare cases when the parents like the same music as there kids......wierd. Well i hope you have a great time touring, and i hope to see you at the warfield......My mom wants to say were in the far left of the upper balcony first row. Later Joe.
MATTIC: maybe saying everybody was an exageration, when i turn on the tv all i see is techno pop so thats why i said everybody....the extremist is unique because of the compositions of the songs, such as "friends" "summer song" and "why" nobody and this is no exageration NOBODY was putting out music as unique as joe back then, and you know the extremist was 100% different from everything out at the time! nothing was close....unless you can name something, and dont say metallica.
All instrumental guitarist's UNITE !!!.........Everyone should request their favorite.."artist".preferably..(JOE SATRIANI)..on their local radio stations,..Worldwide !!!!!!..What has happened to MTV ???...What has happened to good-ole Rock and Roll ??...I knew "WE" were in trouble when they had to build a Rock/Roll Hall of Fame ? ........Does that mean we are in trouble? .......us rockers?...or is(..backstreet boys,......Nsnyc,)etc:,etc:,,gonna take over ?........Look at the Music Awards.....need I say more?........us old folk......and YOU........young folk ..gotta help get Rock and $#@!*%~Roll...BACK TO THE PEOPLE !!!....Thank GOD for musicians like...Joe...that strugle....to keep...FANS LIKE US .....thirsty for more!!.................(.The moral of the story is...call your local radio station and request to hear Joe's new CD !!!) kudos: JOE

Trade my wife for 96kps mp3s of the bonus CD. Please e-mail. Thanks
YAYO: when you say that EVERYONE is putting out techno albums these days, who exactly are you talking about??? you said the exception was Vai and a few others...but it seems to me there are only a handfull of instrumental guitarists in existence of the calibre of Joe and Steve...atleast in popularity and influence. Besides the obvious Jeff Beck, who else are you talking about??? Oh, and when you say that EoC is unoriginal on the basis that "everybody else is doin it", you forget that when the Extremist was released, back in '92, EVERYBODY else was putting out rock, hard rock, and metal albums. What makes The Extremist unique, as well as EVERY other album of Joe's, is his guitar playing...his feeling. You can't tell me the sounds of Summer Song, War, Friends, Why, Motorcycle Driver, or even Cryin' are that "unique", it's the emotion, and the arrangements that make them that way. I think that's the way people should be looking at this new stuff. Behind the beat (which I think is very cool) lies some of Joe's best playing....get over the past, and move on! oh, and ONE more thing.....you rule Joe!!!
Tommy - yes - this new album definitely captures Joe's creative side. It's one of those albums where you can sit back, close your eyes, and drift away. I'm very proud of it.
This album really does grow on you. I really like 'Clouds races across the sky', 'Champagne' (love those keyboard effects in the beginning)... 'Power Cosmic 2000' could be a powerful show opener, 'Eoc' and 'Slow and Easy' are just neat songs... I generally love all the songs that don't have the fast tempo techno beats. 'Devil's Slide' and 'Flavor Crystal 7' definitely sound like themes from a video game, but the overall album is just very atmospheric and imaginative.. I wonder how much of the album is really "Joe" as opposed to Eric Caudieux's keyboard work.. However, good job and I'm enjoying the music.
rats,kinda hard to keep up with your e-mail, or what? i had a typical booboo
inspired day, woke up to fight a duel to the death with firebreathing dragons,
i won. wondered around checking out the native sage-brush in the area.called
a few attorneys, had another conflict with fire breathing dragons, i won.took
a nap after propositioning my friends. got up and found my son, lost him again.
fought some more fire breathing dragons, got frustrated, gave up on that theme
for the day. ran around with a friend and borrowed enough cash to survive until
tomorrow, and now i'm home. oh! i forgot, somewhere in there i griped at the
manager of the biggest entertainment store here because 1)they haven't had the
ap for about 6 weeks. 2)their headphones at their listening stations suck, and
it's hard to preview when you are constantly messing a round with faulty equipment.(oops forgot about the language thaing almost)-any way, hopefully one or two other annoying things got taken care of, including the fact that your
concert announcement has totally robbed the shelves of all of your music, not
that there was really caca to begin with, but now there is none.for a fan like me, isn't it a little sad that i have absolutely no j.s. cds at all. go figure,
must be my semi-charming life.later, booboo
Hey, what's with the tour dates in chicago? it's great that there's two of them, except i'm 17 and the house of blues won't let me in!!! i'm all for playing small venues and everything, but why not all ages shows? i'd give anything to see satriani live!

Oh, forgot to say that my favorite songs are....well, they're too many. But my all time favorite are CEREMONY, CIRCLES, Love thing, Ice 9, & many more. By the way, I must mention that today I like rock music because of Joe. I bought an Ibanez, and I want to buy d'dario strings because of him. Joe to me is like a role model. Keep it up Joe!
Another thing....I have only played for about 1 month, and I'm already playing the intro to ALWAYS WITH ME, ALWAYS WITH YOU...It's an EZ song, the intro I mean. I'm out...
Date: Fri Mar 31 17:44 Razor2<ortuno2k@hotmail.com>:
Hey I've seen a lot of people arguing about Joe's new album. It doesn't suck like some day, but it's not the best. I don't own all albums, I have Surfing with the alien, Crystal Planet, Not from this earth, & Engines of creation. Out of all those albums, to me the best are the first two that I mentioned. The last one is like some people said -- it has like too many FX or he uses a lot of electronic music. I like the guitar, just plain guitar, with a wah here and there...but not this new style. I'm still a fan, but...Joe please go back to your old style like on CP or Surfing with the alien.
Just listening to the CD a little more, it does grow on you. The sound and the songs written match perfectly. What a great headphone album!(can I still use that term?) Stevie,you more than anyone should understand Joe's quest for fulfillment. ?Although this may not be our favorite Joe album I'm glad to see him putting out music period! (Look at Beck's frequency) Next time I would like to hear his guitar miked, the feeling comes through more but the tone meshes perfectly within the context of the recording. Can you say Satrionics?
Joe, me again. So would you ever want to do a project with either John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, or Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater? PLEASE answer this time! I'd really like to know if you've ever heard of them or even would be interrested. EOC rules, rock on JOE!
zinc: i think "the extremist" is joe's most original album.... this sint original, EVRYONE (except vai and a couple others)is putting out techno and we really dont need joe putting it out too.....
Joe I have just backed home from the concert of VLATKO STEFANOVSKI trio, you must know who is Vlatko Stefanovski, because, including you, him and a lot of guitar players... You are the best... NO comment, and about this concert, It was great, I havent seen any concert like this in my life!
Thank you Joe, I am sure you'll read this and replay me, Thanks...
Pavle Danilov, Skopje, Macedonia - EUROPE :-)
Joe, God has blessed you with an incredible talent and through you has blessed all of us who enjoy your music. When I saw you on the Crytal Planet tour I was in awe, my wife kept pushing my mouth closed'cause my jaw were dropping wide open. I thought to myself God has definitely blessed you beyond explanation. Thanx for the music.....your friend Johnny
Joe, your new record is great and I have a few words to share to all who are slamming it...
Think of a Voice...Think of a Heart....Think of a Soul...
These are what we all are anyway and are fortunate enough to be able to express with our instruments....Its still art.....
Peace Joe
Tommy
Me again...I can't believe how many people are dissing "Engines of Creation"...I must be a true fan of Joe Satriani.....cause I love it.....and I love the old stuff....Joe....You Rock!!!!
Joe. i got one question for you. what the hell were you thinking when you were making your new album?? come on man. wheres the old satch touch?? it sounds like you took your guitar, three 3 multi effect pedals, a synthisyser, your computer, and recorded something in like one day. i like two songs off your new album. i have every single one of your albums, and i never thought i would wanna take one of your cds back and want my money back for it. oh my god man. did you have like a disco flash back?? because thats what your album sounds like. please come back to your old satch self and cut a more original album.
Joe, I have been turning people on to your new album (EOC), people who have never listened to you before. So far, so good! It's fun to promote it among my friends. I also plan to donate a copy to the local, independent, alternative radio station in town. I'm gonna get you on the air in this town-- no one here plays you! (I'm in the middle of a SouthWestern desert.) Vaya con Dios!
Joe Satriani, congratulations for the new CD, are excellent, I am from México and I like your music since 1997, ¿ Have you ever been in México? it's a great idea, I guess. What do you think? Do you know Carlos Santana?
BILL: i think he uses d'addario strings.... i have seen d'addario ads with joe so im gonna guess.... hey joe have you tried those coated strings called "elixer" ? they allow you to play even faster cause they are real slick....
Date: Fri Mar 31 13:57 THIN LIZZY<Phil.gosselin@caramail.com>:
Congratulations for this new LP.
Only one question : When will you come in France ?
Thank for your answer and sorry for my english.
Stayed up til 0400hrs BST to catch you on the webcast... my weeny little computer managed to keep up with the streaming audio/vid too... most excellent to hear you answer my question on Japanese Ibanez vs Korean-built... one of the best reasons to use the internet for a long time... catch you in London in July.
Erik B, If you ever find a "clear coat" or a clear sticker to preserve your Joe signature, let me know... My joe signature is rubbing off a little bit but I have plastic wrap on it to preserve it.. Next time I'll try and get Joe to sign the headstock instead...
Not to say I overlooked just a little person: My feelings are towards 3.Sonhos etc (Zeni-Walpa), and my gratitude in low mood is due to left row breastless sort of b1tch (was that big boss aware? say who).
I'll just try to complete my point...: * "Crianca" Theme was written, in reality, by most closer high school pupil in my physics ages. * My dear "campo magnetico" friend, I've just caught the accords for that song you loved. Tell me what it is. By Do2 again... purple rain... purple rain yeahrr wow !
jlwilde: karma is defined as this = "the force generated by a person's actions held in Hinduism and Buddhism to perpetuate transmigration and in its ethical consequences to determine the nature of the person's next existence" i do not practice buddism or hinduism therefore karma does not apply to thee.
MICHELLE: calm down...you sound pretty mentally unstable...."i know he he is menatlly unstable" "like a little kid i just know it" relax,.... ABDALLAH: yes guns for all, doesnt mean go out and shoot everyone! what are you going to do if and when someone breaks into your house and they have a gun? you gonna hide user your bed and hope they dont shoot you because YOU are defensless? owning a firearm takes responsibility and everyone who owns one should be properly trained in how to use it
Guns eh? Hey Joe, where YOU going? Hm! Guns are not the problem. People who misuse them are. I do not believe in manditory "locking". I do believe that if you cannot operate one safely, you should NOT have one. If you misuse one, punishment should be delt appropriatly. I enjoy guns for sport. But, in America, someone breaks into your house, you have NO idea if/how well armed they are. Kids have guns.. I believe registration is NOT a problem (you have nothing to hide do you?). I believe anyone who "lets" a gun fall into the wrong hands needs to be delt with harshly (and if you knowingly give a gun to a kid, bye bye). I do NOT believe that a parent, that locks up their pistol and their son literaly breaks into the cabinet, is responsible. As for the guy who's gun went off in his waist band, he obviously did NOT know how to safely operate/carry a pistol. If you carry one in the chamber, you better have the safty on. On a different note, there a hell of alot dangerous drivers out there. People die in multiples every day in accidents caused by people who *can not drive*. Yet, we allow people to buy trucks like the Excursion without being tested to see whether they can handle the thing. There are problems with everything (except Jello). Guns are a problem, but the problem is not the guns.
hey michelle, i would have to agree with yoyo on the right to bear arms. i feel its an american privilige, even though i will never own a gun myself. as for karma, i think yoyo will find out about it one way or another. . . leon 8-]
Hey Joe,
I just wanted to let you know that you are one of the main reasons that I play guitar...your guitar and passion for music have inspired me to know end. I think that Engines of Creation is one of the best albums you have ever made (and it's one of the best albums I own period).
Thanks for playing only what you like...keep up the fantastic work,
Nathan Simmons
Hey Joe, new CD is great purchased it on day of release. Question for you: - Could you not place bonus CD in MP3 format for download or for a small price at your concerts to those who attend. Also can you tell me how to get my JS100(tr) signed when you come to UK this summer, hopefully!. Backstage pass would be gratefully appreciated?), thanks.
Scal - I think that Joe has about as much artistic freedom as anybody out there, as far as his relationship with the suits goes. I don't think that EoC's electronica aspects were the result of record company pressure. They know that Joe's fans would buy his albums if they featured him playing the tuba. As far as Joe going commercial, once again, the suits are smart enough to know that the "guitar-hero" genre's commercial viability has greatly diminished in the past decade. I don't think they expect Joe to sell millions upon millions of CD's.
Hey does any one Know if Joe's going to do a Eurpean tour. Preferably Scotland.I saw him in Glasgow with G3 and he was awesome, didn't think much of Michael Schenker or Uli Jon Roth though. I got the new album, EoC, personaly I think joe should stick to what he's good at. Forget about adding beats to the music leave that for the dance crew.
Yayo, we're both entitled to an opinion on guns. Your pathetic drivel about the rights of Americans to own guns sounds like it came right out of the toilet. And as for the guy who slashed my tires, his life has been a miserable one. This is where your ignorance about karma comes in (which is why you should go to Sears and watch the d@mn t.v. there). Karma doesn't work overnight. Life is what you make it. If you choose not to believe, that's your buisness, but maybe someday you'll open your eyes. I don't know if anything happened to him, I don't live in his house, but in time, he'll pay for it. I truely believe that. I don't have to go outside and have a freak attack and bust up his truck and retaliate. That only brings me down to his pathetic level. Instead, when I look at him, I know he is mentally unstable and doesn't know any better, just like a little kid. I feel pity for him that he chooses to block out all the lessons that are being set before him. Instead of learning anything, he's still like a little kid. He probably has a 7 yr. old mentality on how to deal with people. Hopefully, you'll catch on to the karma thing someday. I'd hate to see you acting like this guy when your in your 50's. peace**
hi all, saw this somewhere:" Offering a change of pace after 1998’s imposing Crystal Planet, King Shred Joe Satriani delves into the electronica realm on Engines of Creation. The guitarist teamed with producer Eric Caudieux , who fills the album with rumbling machine-driven drum-and-bass rhythms. The result is rugged soundscapes rich with guitar textures and Satriani’s trademark soaring melodies. Tracks like the opening “Devil’s Slide,” the oddly metered “Flavor Crystal 7” and “The Power Cosmic 2000-Part II” feature the kind of fast-paced grooving and rock-oriented soloing the guitarist is renowned for. And what Satch album would be complete without the sprinking of beautiful ballads, including the single “Until We Say Goodbye”? But things get most interesting when Satriani pushes the envelope – literally -- on the surging ying-and-yang rawk of “Borg Sex,” the bluesy slide guitar track “Champagne?,” the slinky, distinctive “Slow and Easy,” and the gorgeous title cut with its multiple layers of lyrical guitar. The preponderance of mechanical dance beats may disappoint some in Satriani’s loyal legions, but the fact that he doesn’t on Engines sing may offer salve for the wound."
Hey Joe, and everyone else!
For those of you who are interested in space I created a group on SETI@HOME
The name is Crystal Planet. Join the group, and download a data unit to process
This helps Berkeley to search for radio signals from outer space! It's pretty
cool so check it out!!! http://www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu
One question for you Joe, Do you plan on making another video like you did
for Real Satriani!!! Watching you write the song IF was to say the least, very
very funky!!! Great CD You,Jeff and Stu are an amazing trio keep up the
great writing!
Hi Joe and all you crazy cats out there.
I'm am sorry to say, that I have just heard of the new album this week. And thanx - the trip to Mars was very nice!!! I'm listening to the two track from the site right now - love it, love it, love it!!!!!
How do you manage to make an even better album than the last one every time??!?!
I'm looking forward to a European Tour - when is that due!!!
:) vilmo
Hey man I was wondering where you got that Acrylic Ibanez that you have in the latest issue of guitar world. And, while your thinking how much did that run? Thanks, See ya At Music Midtown
Adam
Hi Joe, I'm a spanish guitar player that wants to congratulate you for your new record.I think it's a very good work with huge songs like Borg sex.I think you're one of the best.Your legato are great and your tap too. But you have a lot of feeling too. You are an important influence in sipain, you've created some of the very best songs we've ever herd. De puta madre Satch!You're the best!!!!!!!
Hey Joe! I've been to the checkout-lounge yesterday. It was really crap, cause my streamer didn't work, my computer collapsed twice and I wasn't able to ask you any questions. And I got up for that at 4 am (CET). It was interesting anyway. CYA Martin
I dont what the big deal is, i really dig EOC. Joe will you be doing a second leg to your tour. cant make this one cause my father is not feeling well.
I've been listening to Joe's music for a long time now. Even if I like " Engines of creation ", I still prefer his other records. I'm just hoping that Joe is not giving in to certain pressures, and that his music isn't getting commercial.
hey trunk, "e.o.c" is great.your music taste sucks.anyway, this is joe's music and he does it his way.how can you tell an artist:"man, don't do what you want but do what public want"? very silly, isn't it.p.s: sorry for my bad english.hey JOE, "memories" and "down, down, down" in marseille (france).oh yeah, i love "attack".abdallah
Hej Joe!!!
Your last Album "Engines of creation" really sucks. This now sound you have choosen for this album is BAD. I think that you should return to the kind of music you played on your album "Joe Satriani".
Trunk
Hold on rdubiel, what does being a river guide have to do with getting run over by a car because you didn't get to catch the live chat... I am really confused. :) I don't think there's any cars on the rivers I have seen. Where you live?
I was on a white water rafting thing once, I survived, lived to talk about it, but I can't say I would push my luck and do it again. I want to make sure I live to see Satch again in concert.
Hi Razor2, I have browsed a couple places and I have seen videos for sale at the Wherehouse website and epic records too. I think you can get them via the web at most places if you search "satriani" at the respective sites. Never saw a poster of Joe anywhere though. Too bad, I wish I had one of him with his long hair in the "old days." no offense to the new look, I am just an old "long hair lover" from way back when it was in style.
AAAHHH!!!! I missed the chat because my son HAD to play his jump start preschool program and it totally disrupts the computer for a while after he's done! And it's not like I'm some kind of computer tech that easily knows how to fix these things, that's why I have a brother in-law. I'm just a simple river guide who enjoys Joe's music and hates stupid computers (atleast when they're not working right, otherwise they're pretty cool) and all I wanted to do was talk to Joe. That's OK, I'll probably get hit by a car anyways.
Date: Thu Mar 30 22:19 Razor2<ortuno2k@hotmail.com>:
Hey Joe, it's me again...I wrote earlier this morning. I've been trying to look for posters, or videos of you but I can't seem to find them! Where on earth can I find your posters or videos? Does anyone know about it? If anyone do so, please email me & let me know!!!!! Pleaaaaaaaaaase!
I have already a poster of your guitar..."Satch Boogie" that came out on a magazine...but I'm looking for more....anyone know anything? email me!
Hey, anyone out there see the live chat w/Joe today? I haven't checked in lately and I just found out about the chat tonight and I guess I missed it. I'm just looking for a synopsis of what was covered. Someone below said someone sucked but I don't know wha
t transpired. Can anyone fill me in?
Hi Joe,
I just wanted to say thanks again for taking the time to meet me and sign my 'Surfing' CD this evening at the Wherehouse Lounge live online chat hosted at IXL.
It was so cool to finally meet you. As I said there, I first started listening to your music back in 1987 in England and still have 'Surfing' on vinyl. It got played to death in my car during my long commutes and is still one of my all time favorite albums.
I wish you every success with Engines of Creation.
Regards
Niilo Tippler
Joe, sorry for sparking a heated gun control debate on your website. I was hoping that people would just e-mail me and carry the conversation off line, but..oh well. Anyway, why aren't you coming to Dallas, Texas? You have TOO MANY fans here to not come here. I can't get away for the Austin show. Remember G3 on Oct of '97...The Bronco Bowl sold out! You could even have Andy Timmons join ya again for a quick jam at the end of the show. Com'on...please! Do it for yer old pal Ken C. **Peace**
I think the milk I drank this afternoon was bad........oooooohhhhhh...my stomache!!! sorry bout that...just sittin here, keeled over the keyboard in agony. Joe, is this year's tour going to be similiar to your last one? Hope so!!!!! gotta go.....I can't sit up for much longer.
JOE,I HAVE ONE OF YOUR AXES FROM ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO,SWITCHED MORE TO NON TREM GUITARS NOW AND I DONT PLAY IT MUCH ANYMORE. THE ONLY THING DIFFERENT ABOUT IT IS I CHANGED THE BRIDGE PICKUP TO AN X2N. MY QUESTION IS THAT THE SERIAL # ON IT IS JAPAN (J 000708) .IS IT WORTH ANYTHING? (EXCEPT CENTIMENTAL) LET ME KNOW PLEASE.ERIC HOWLAND 360-891-5341 LEAVE MESSAGE.
hey joe....just finished listening to the live version of always with me, always with you from the live time machine disk....awesome, insanely brilliant man! you can totally hear the feeling in that song.....makes your hair stand on end.
MICHELLE: yes owning a gun takes resposibility, but i for one prefer not to be ruled by government and would much rather have the right to own a gun! "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." The Right of Americans to own guns is supported by the 2nd Ammendment, under the condition that we need them to form a militia to protect our sovereignty.....unless you feel like learning to speak chinese then i suggest all americans own a gun. as for watching oprah, well unless it comes on CNN or MSNBC i dont see it, and Karma is all in your head! its your concious (sp?) saying "look what you did, now you're fuc*ed" and you keep this negative energy in your subconcious and then boom something happens....just keep positive thoughts and nothing happens! works for me..... what ever happened to your neighbor who slashed your tires? im willing to bet nothing happened to him....
Hey Joe I just submitted a question at the lounge chat about flying to vegas and the house of blues thanks for the info.My wife and I are going out to vegas for our honeymoon and figured it would be cool to catch your show at the house of blues.I would love to hear i Believe it is my wifes favorite song.Thanks see you in vegas.
thanks for answerin' my question on the whammy screams, joe! I've been tryin' to figure that out since i first heard you in '98...been a hardcore fan since my first listen! :-)
Hey Joe... Cool chat! Wasn't expecting the video. BTW - the "nod to Jeff Beck" question was refering specifically to "Champagne?", not the entire CD. L8r... John aka =o|-[
HI Joe , Hi Gang!!!! Well Joe I'm building a new computer this weekend!!!! I'm so excited!!!! New Album!!! New Computer!!!! and A New Concert!!! to boot!!!!!!!!!!!yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!PLUM LOCO RIDES AGAIN!!!!!!
EVAN ~ Sounds like you nailed it! Carry those thoughts with you throughout life and you'll be a much happier and healthier person. I betchu maka you momma so proud *pinch cheeks* ; ) peace**
Hello From Idaho. So have you knowticed that fans have been cheated. We get cheated all the time. Ticket prices, Gas prices, Tour routes and the not so available Bonus CD. What a rip off! You know joe I bought em all and was there when I could be(reguarding tours) you dangled that carrot(Bonus CD) in front of my face and yanked it away. I know your busy. I'll bet you don't agree with me. I didn't know of this site (and I had looked before) so how was I to know about this Bonus? I stopped subscribing to guitar mags 4 years ago as my area of storage was full and few published merit the replacement of existing peridocals. (I'm not trading Korn for Rhodes) come on hook us up!
604slw@internetoutlet.net
joe, this is another question for either you or your guitar tech.
my floyd rose style tremolo keeps falling apart. Should i just keep replacing parts that go with the guitar or just buy a whole new unit? Maybe an original floyd rose.
Thanks
Joe, I picked up the guitar because of you......and well, my mom.
Curious as to how well you remember the acoustics of each hall you play from tour to tour and your thoughts in particular on the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix... I saw you there supporting your self titled album as well as the G3 tour with Kenny Wayne a few years ago. Also Joe, any tips you could give as far as getting out of a musical rut would be most appreciated.
Joe, I was thumin' throuh the new Guitar World saw the interview, and saw the new guitar. I love it. Is it lucite? I remember there are a few Stratocasters out there like that. But your guitar is better designed. I have the JS1000. And, I love it. Even on crappy equipment it sounds great. See you at The Wiltern. Engines rocks. See ya' REUBEN
Narcoleptic: Stanley Jordan is amazing!!! I saw him play live once, it was incredible. I got his autograph recently for being the man. Good choice for G3. MICHELLE: I've decided recently that I believe in Karma. What goes around comes around. You get what you put in. Everyone gets what's coming to them. The moral? Try to be the best person you can, and everything will work out in the end! Have faith everyone. See ya Joe.
HEY JOE, I WAS KINDA WONDERING WHICH ONE OF YOUR SONGS WOULD YOU USE FOR A SPEEDY ANIMATION..THE ANIMATION CONSISTS OF A CHARACTER THAT JETS AROUND (RUNNING)USING NO CUT SCENES AND ONLY CAMERA MOVEMENTS TO CATCH UP TO THE CHARACTER..MY BEST BET WOULD PROBABLY BE THE MIGHTY TURTLE HEAD..BUT, I WANT TO GET THE REAL ANSWER FROM THE MAN..THE ANIMATION IS USED FOR ONLY EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, NOT FOR CREATING INCOME.. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME...SMILEY..
SCOOT- What i found that works in that kind of a situation is using heavier strings. I currently string my Ibanez RG with Ernie Ball 10-52's, and have it set with action just high enough so i can bend cleanly without fretbuzz on the lower strings (on that neck, that's LOW). The combination of the heavier strings and more springs (i also use 4) makes the trem stiffer than it would be with light strings and light spring tension. Yeah, it's a bit tough to get used to the heavier strings, but if vaughan can play 12's, then i think us mortals can deal with 10. :o) There's a few added benifits, too- i got a noticible increse in sustain when i switch ed up from .09-42 to these, they have a fuller tone, and anyone who picks up your guitar and starts bending strings will think you're a total badass. :o) CYBERALIEN- Good point, but why stop there? I know i personally wouldn't feel safe if our givernment has nuclear warheads and i didn't. :o) Keep it real, everyone.

Hey Yayo, on tomorrows Oprah show their going to talk about KARMA. If you want to know what it's all about watch it or tape it. Karma, it's not just for breakfast anymore. ~ MAK, I know the guy was stupid. He could have shot the baby or someone else by having the safety off. Way to many stupid mistakes are made by gun owners. Usually by the time the should have, could have butt scratching retrospect comes about, somebody's buying a casket. Ain't that a shame. Anyways, I'm done with the guns suck talk.

I have a concert coming up on April 16. It is for my Guitar Class in college. I need to come up with some melodies for the song. It is in E Phrygian with a 1-1-1-1-2-2-1-1-3-2-1 progression. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. The song has sort of a spanish sound to it.
Thanks,
Bradford
Hey Joe...(sounds like a familiar song by Hendrix)...anyway, if you ever do another G3 tour...consider somebody like Stanley Jordan. It would be totally cool to see the both of you tapping in unison! Your new album is interesting; I couldn't get the bonus cd however.
Hey Joe, just wondering have you ever met the other guitarist "Joe" (Walsh that is), i hope you include Dublin Ireland on the EOC tour....later man...Hopper.
Hi GIANT JOE!
I'm tuneman from Italy!!!!!I thing that Engines it's the future of G composition!Tanx for this beautiful masterpice!
The G3 will back?????????????????
Do you like Greg Howe and Brett Garsed?
See ya in Italy.......
Hullo Joe
I have been listening to "Engines of Creation" some more, & the more I listen to it the more amazed I am. I think its just such wonderful music. When I first downloaded "Borg Sex" (here we go again!) I thought it was a terrible noise, and I said so here(apologies!), but when I heard it in context on the CD it started to make sense, and now I just think its just a work of genious! Its like nothing Ive ever heard before, and I think it takes the brain a time to adapt to completely new sounds, and make sense of them, which is why every generation hates the music that comes after, to start with....
Also, although "Borg Sex" stands alone, it also makes the more "conventional", if I can use that word for your music, Satriani sound ,like "clouds.."and "Until.."sound even more lovely.
One question Joe....what came first, the title"Borg Sex", or did the sounds give you the idea for the name?
Lots of love & appreciation
Michele
I'm a new guy in your fan club since few minutes.I'm happy to communicate with the great guitarist in the world even if it's indirectly.I just want to say that I like very much what you do and your style music is unique.I have all your CD's and all songs are fabulous.Many people criticated your last album but I think it's a great idea to mixed guitar and techno music.I hope you will come to France for a new tour!!! I'm sorry for my bad english.... Nounou

Hi Joe! First of all, I'd like to say you congrutalations for Engines of creation. It's amazing, very very well done!
I've one question about your tour. Did you have planned some date in Italy???
I hope to see you on stage....
Bye Simone
Hi, from England! Great to find a site that appreciates good musicianship, (because at the moment England is swamped with crap music!) Here's to good guiarists the world over...Cheers!
In response to Hakeem's question, 'Turkey Man' is just OK. And that is no insult to Joe, because it was not even written by him, it was written by Eric Cardieux, so those of you who didn't get the bonus CD, pull the razor away from your wrist, OK? The bonus CD really isn't that big of a deal. BTW Joe, Champagne? has about the sweetest tone you've ever laid down. Love it!
Hi Joe, what's your Take on Randy Rhoads? He was sure insirational to me- in fact the reason why I picked up the guitar (that was also before I got into much other guitar music), but he seems to be very much underestimated I reckon. As far as I'm concerned he was the first neo-classical guitarist, not Yngwie.
Hello!A quick question.Is there any way of purchasing Satriani merchandise?Posters,T-shirts,hats,and any other stuff like that?Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanx!
Kris(logged in as Chumley)
Hello Joe. This my first time writing and I wanted to say I think you are an innovative, creative and all around bad muther on the guitar but more importantly to me you are a fine songwriter. I've seen amazing guitar playing and own countless CDs of impressive fret work but your melodies and songs are the reason I never hesitate to purchase anything with your name attached. I enjoyed the behind the scenes look on your video of there recording for the JOE SATRIANI album and i was wondering if any similaer videos were made for CRYSTAL PLANET. That album confirmed how much of an artist and risk taker you are. That was a smart record. I just wish I could see up close and personal how you played some of that stuff. Also have you ever thought about, and I hate to say it,a "LICKS" type video ? Where i could see and expand my playing how you pull off some of the impress guitar work. Altough I play nothing like you, you do inspire. My goal is to be known as a great songwriter who plays guitar and all I can say is you have acheived that. I did not know what to think of you in the early 80's but you sir have proven to be as creative and a true artist like my hero JIMI HENDRIX. Keep it up and keep taking risks. Your new one is growing on me it's like satch meets the chemical brothers. PS after I get my record deal I'm buggin' you for a couple of private lessons.
TONY
I'm a longtime fan, from the daze of small Long Island bars in front of the rabid locals. I own both the original vinyl album releases, most everything on CD to 'supplement' the vinyl (which I keep), as well as being a guitar virtuoso junkie - Gary Hoey, Vinnie Moore, Steve Morse, etc., et al., all in my collection.
All of which is to indicate a lack of musical bias when I make the following gripe about this website - the annoying bias displayed by the commentary about 'techno dreck'. I've been heavily involved in the 'techno' scene for just over 6 years, and while there may be hordes of utterly untalented software dabblers turning out dreck, there are already a good number of amazingly talented musicians turning out phenomenally good music. 'True music fans' should know that it's already available, requiring only a reasonable investment of time (as I spent) to find folks knowledgeable in the genre (as I have) to help explore its many facets. Many of my friends, who've grown up on 'rock', have thoroughly! enjoyed the samplings of 'techno' I've given them. Please, Joe (or whoever wrote the text), I have too much respect for talent, yours or anyone else's, regardless of music style, to accept the inference that before 'Engines of Creation', there were no worthwhile productions or 'real musicians' using 'highfalutin' gear'.
hey satch!! i just got your latest album, and i don't expect to have it bought here, because satch albums don't really appear here. And for that, i'm the happiest person in the WORLD!!!! I now own 4 satch albums. I got the three from other countries. Engines of Creation has got to be the best satch album (of all the albums i own). The solo to the first song made me and my friends' jaws drop for three days ;-). That's all! Thank you for making the most beautiful noises in the world.

Hey Joe I'm a crazy fan of you, and I bought your new album about 4 days later when it was released. It it's good, but not the best you've done. The only thing that I don't like is that you used too many effects, and you did not play real guitar, like on Surfing with the Alien, or Crystal Planet. On your last album I saw more of a "ravish" kind of play, than rock. Still good, but not the best. Favorite song from that album is "Champagne?" Oh, one more thing...are you ever comming to south florida?
Hello Joe , finally my love for Hendrix led me to you a true dedicated fan and you makes me fly in obviouses blues dreams. Like this nignht in santa monica Civic auditorium circa 90's with steve Salas as first act. By the way did you knew that Jennifer Batten was in the audience ? Pierre-Marie
I have to start this by saying sorry if its sounds like a desrespect note.
Please don't misunderstand me, ok?.
I am a drummer living now in Brazil, 27 years old, born in Argentina, and an inner-soul-rock player.
As everybody else I have my dreams and my goals. I've achieved one of my goals
- finding my "Basic Rhythm" (its a project to teach poor kids how to find their way through life with drumming, without drugs etc.).
Now, about a dream, as a drummer and human, I have one to achieve.
Playing drums with Joe Satriani. I could write down so many reasons, but:
first: I respect the drummer (he is so good) that is playing with you right now.
second: I respect your reasons for selecting your studio/stage musicians.
So, if one day you need a drummer, to play beautiful and simple rock stuff, I will be ready for it. I am already ready for it.
Right now, I won't waste your time with curriculum and recommendations stuff.
Maybe, if you come to Brazil, we can talk about it and even jam a little bit.
Well, if interests you in any way (I could work in studios, as a drum tech, anything to spend some time of my life in this world, by your side, to learn more about the truth feel of playing rock music), I am ready to relocate to U.S., to make a living as a drummer, as I've been doing for several years (I cannot forget my mom and dad's support) in South America.
I hope that you recieve this message as a positive atittude.
Good luck in your up-coming tour (to your musicians too).
Keep rocking from your soul,
thank you for your time,
take care,
sincerelly,
Diego Salcedo.

Dear Joe... I own all your records and I believe IÄm very familiar with your records within the last 14 years. Well, Engines of Creation is not my favorite record, but I admire your courage to do this record. I'm sure, it's a new experience for yourself to create a fresher sound. I also know, it's impossible to write new riffs, solos again and again... So I can't understand the hard critics on your webboard. Anyway my favorite records are "Surfing With The Alien", "Flying In A Blue Dream" and "The Extremist". Particulary I do like "The Extremist"... it's very powerful and probably your best songwritin'. Anyway you're still my favorite guitarist... nobody plays better!!! Can you tell me, when you will tour in Germany???
Joe...LawStud made a grand suggestion on Tuesday..why not make the bonus CD available at your concerts for a tad over the cost price? So many of us can't get it and I hate the idea of a gap in my collection..I've even got the Alice Cooper and Greg Kihn platters on which you play. Can you have a word with your distribution people, please? TECHIE QUESTIONS :(1) I've had some trouble with the trem unit on my Ib..it's so sensitive that any pressure on the block sends the guitar out of tune. I've added a fourth spring and raised the action, but I'm wondering if this is a smack-botty no-no, or should I revert to the factory setting with 3 springs and learn not to rest my hand on the trem block? (2) Do you have any finger-prints on your left hand, or are the tips pure callus? Given all the recent talk about guns, if you ever decide to shoot the piano player, make sure you do it left-handed! See you in the UK.
Hi, Joe, I miss the "perfect couple" of VAI $ JOE. When are you gonna make new songs togheter? Oh....what about Warren Cuccurullo? He is from Zappa´s school, like Stevie.
Hey joe,
I bought your album Yesterday. Fabulous.
HOWEVER, the end of track 6 sounds like you are playing guitar in the bathroom.
;-)
Right now I'm @ work. The cd-player is playing (with repeat turn on). Not everybody overhere appeciates it. But let them talk to my hand :)

Hey there,
Did someone get the bonus Cd ?? Could you please tell us our comments on it and how the unreleased track "Turkey Man" sound like ?? Thanks. Peace. Hakkeem
deadstar15-i definitely enjoyed your post. it sure put to shame alot of crap i've read in the last week or two. thanks for a very creative vision. it reminded me of a place i use to visit many years ago under the influence of a band called Mahogany Rush. sholyo im fi zhamy, sholyo im fi zhay!!
Hey RedRabit, you may want to come down to El Paso and pay $50 for front row seats (I'm not kidding). But it's probably not the artist's fault; most concerts are over $30 here, while in other cities (with bigger venues and/or more population) ticket prices are much cheaper. What can we do? Anyway, I'm still voting for "Crystal Planet" as the leadoff song. Any comments?

You know over here in Canada ( Ontario) it is currently 2:23am in the morning, and I get all messed up when your clock says 11:23pm. Gets me mixed up when I come to look at my old inputs to your web site. Later
How do you make a dead baby float?
1 scoop Ice cream
1 scoop dead baby.
sorta sick I know, but funny at the time I heard it, which was about two hours ago. No pot involved. 20 years old is a sweet age to be to listen to your music, we can find the older stuff, and we are rich enough to buy the new. Rock on fellow twenty year old persons. Markus :o)
Date: Wed Mar 29 23:26 midnight<mark.holyome@sympatico.ca>:
I mean the intro chords only, you may embelish with jam type stuff I don't know, but it is different live, than it is on paper. What is up with American's and there Guns?????? If you quit shooting people, less people then die! Don't you get it? Or are us Canadians just more refined? well at the least we are less armed than some of you. Hahahhaahhahahha... :o) Markus

Just hanging around and reading other peoples questions, looking for the last response, or news update. I try to keep ontop of this stuff. Especially htose meet and greet offers I heard about on FAQ. Would nearly kill me to shake that hand, not that I would for fear of damaging it. EoC is rockin', I also have doon the sleepin' with it playing in my ears. Odd dreams may come your way, so go for it. How come you are re-releasing the old albums, I think thay all sound great, albiet it would be sweet to crank them up a little higher, but are there any planned bonus tracks or what not? Are you going to release a DVD with tour stuff and studio footage, and a long assed interview, like the great Satch Tapes? I'd buy it up in a second. I am always on the look out for more musical knowledge.
1 question, do you look over the transcriptions people make of your songs in the books that come out before they are published, because I have seen you play the summer song live ( on G3 tapes only) and it is way different than it is tabbed in the book for the G3 tour? Is that just a normal studio/live playing quirk? Or are they not up too the job? Must be tough enough as it is, but we all catch these things. No need to be too picky htough I guess. Just quality control.
later mandinga Markus :o)
Joe, I must say I'm really disappointed with the new album. I found that there was a complete lack of melody in just about every song. What happened? I don't really dislike the techno/electronic sound to the music, but I think the songs need more than just some weird sounding effects and some fast licks. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, because my opinion should have no effect on your future music. This album's going right back to the music store...
Hello Joe,
simple question - could we do an interview for Russian magazine Rock City that I work for? Please lemme know what you think by e-mail antonvolkov@mail.ru. Thank you very much, and take care of yourself.
Hello Joe, Im a big fan, love your stuff, especially EOC. I have a question about Pickups. I love the sound of the JS1000. I want to get the Fred and PAF Pro pickups for my guitar. I have an Epiphone Les paul. The guys at Guitar center said that wouldn't be a good Idea (to put those pickups in my Les Paul). What do you think? I would really appreciate your help on this issue. Thanks, Mike
Hey I have been a fan now for a long time and I wanted to ask if you where ever going to back to teaching? I see that you are coming to Phoenix AZ in March I am praying that I have the day off so that my wife and I can come see you play live. Keep Rocking
Joe, or anyone really. A friend of mine started talking about the pickups on chrome boy and how you can control whether they are humbuckers or single coils. Can someone explain this to me? My curiosity is aching.
Joe, well man ! I don´t know how to describe your new cd, it´s completely diferent and also very strange, I mean, you used to play a lot your guitar, you know, the classic guitar sound, always a lead guitar with a rythim guitar and all that stuff, but this one is more like a self test, like that you want to know how good you are making music, all kind of music, that´s ok. I´m just hoping for you no to be like metallica, because they suck !! I was a metallica fan until that waste of 4 years named "Load" and then "re-load" and then all that bad cd´s. Do a make my self clear? I´m not saying that your new cd is bad, no ! it´s just seems that the 90´s influenced you. Well you, no more boring comments, and I´ll be waiting for those out side U.S. tour dates, I mean tour mexico city, for example, sounds great !! does´nt it?
Joe, I was just curious if you were planning on making a stop in Dallas, TX. The closest concert to me is in Austin and its about an 8 hour trip. Its not that I don't think you are worth the drive but I don't think my boss will let me off a couple days to go. Please, let me know if you are making a stop in Dallas anytime soon. Thanks
Guns! Yeah! Everyone should have them! How else can we protect ourselves if our government decides to take over all our choices & freedoms? But guns aren't enough. We are still outgunned. I think we should also be able to own (& conceal) automatic weapons, explosive devices, & nuclear & biological weapons! Then (& ONLY then) will we be able to protect ourselves... ;^)
hey joe,, just recently viewed a piece of tape from 89, in japan, where stu did foggy mountain breakdown on bass... cool stuff, could you talk him into doing it in tampa. keep on pickin Stu. love everything on time machine.. do it all. see ya may 8
Hey Joe, I wanted to say that I have been listening to your music since I was 8. You are my favorite guitarist. I am also excited to say that I am finally going to see you in concert at the House Of Blues in Chicago on April 23. I love every song you have done. The new album is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the excellent work!
YAYOGAKK: gotta agree with you and Ken on the gun issue. No matter what you do, criminals are always going to get guns...shouldn't you be allowed to protect yourself?? There's really nothing you can do to stop a guy in your house with a gun. Michelle: If that guy was dumb enough to leave the safety lock off his gun, he shouldn't have had a license to carry it in the first place...at least he didn't hit the kid or his girlfriend.
Hello from Idaho. Great album it seems to touch on moods found on each preceeding album. Now for the bummer! That bonus cd attached or behind the counter! I feel ripped off I bought the relese Engines of creation on the spot I live in an area that the best source of CD's is walmart. Do you think that they would participate in this special offer? (music to jepordy plays) Heck no is the answer. Now I surfed and surfed and also recieved an e-mail from someone who (by the way thank you) was trying to help me with this deal problem is no deal could be made by any contacts I made during my surfing for the Satch-man. Help me out with this now I'm reading reviews made by other fans reguarding music that I may never get to hear and it, well fries my spuds.
Thank you for reading this
604slw@internetoutlet.net
joe no offince but i think your new cd could use less sinth and more gutar bass and drums not drum machines its pretty cool but i like crystal planat better see ya keep jammin oh yah you talked to my bro he said we have all your cds and are dad plays a js1000 not a chorme boy! well see ya, trickster89 age 11
Hi joe.I was wondering if your management team in connection with krxq 98 rock is going to do besides just give tickets out for the show,cause this is the very first show of the tour and a great way to start here in sacramento, maybe do a back stage meet and greet thing.I can't any info from 98 rock .Let us know!!!!!!!!
JOE!!! I to got the new cd the day it was out and i also could not get the bonus disc.I picked it up at tower records and they said"Huh what bonus disc."Please help us loyal fans!!!!!!!!!!
all night with joe satriani, humnm, gifted, talented, versatile, wears dark
glasses, given towards large productions, as a certain someones horoscope
reads, "an artistic sensationalist", in fact. who are you bringing with you
mr. satch, the philharmonic? or would that be an understatement?thank you for
all of your beautiful music, it surely has helped out the quality of life around
these here parts.thankyoo,booboo
Hi Joe..... I have a problem... no store gives the Bonus CD with your new CD and I'm a little bit uptight by this cauz i've tried to get all of your cd.... but i live in canada (québec) and no store give this Bonus CD... is there a way to have it.... by the way i love your sound.... especialy when you play blues song...
thanx..... /|/|@thio$o......
i need to say goodbye to my best friend.she thinks that you are the most beautiful gift to life that has walked on this planet, for many,many lifetimes.
she loves you very much, and will always be there for you in the future, as in
the past.she has left behind her her unpublished poetry. she doesn't know how
to write songs, but she loves to sing, so maybe you can use them to help your
instruments sing.you have such a beautiful voice.thank you,i am done now.
About the gun control thing....I think it's plain to see, just by looking at countries such as Canada (where I live), and Australia, that gun control does not work. If you were to look at statistics on crimes in each of those countries, you would notice that instances of violent crime have risen dramatically since the gun legislations have been put into place. It's simple, gun control takes weapons out of the hands of responsible gun owners, gives police and other government officials unnecessary power, and gives violent criminals a free-for-all when it comes to armed robberies and home invasions. Maybe weapons should be a little harder to get, but they SHOULD NOT be banned in any way. Criminals certainly will never have a problem getting guns, why should the responsible portion of the public not be able to protect themselves??? that's just my opinion. Later.
Hey Joe I love the new album I can listen to it for hours and hours.
Ive always wanted you and some of the other top guitarists in the world to get to gether and have one of the greatest conserts of all time,of course it would have to be on televition so all of us(your fans) could be there. Email me and share your comments,at VOACDA@juno.com. JOE YOUR MY INSPERATION.Sincerely LSmith.
Joe,I've spent hours in the chat room hopin' you'd drop in,as I only have one thing to ask you,When you sit done to write new songs,what is the process you do? A melody? riff? drum machine? I'm always searchin' for new inspirations and ideas myself,so any kind of help is indeed welcome.(as for the gun thing,Michelle,If they had some kind of test to take before just anyone bought a gun,Half the moronic people who commit crimes wouldn't be able to do so!!!!JOIN THE N.R.A.!!!!!,If they take away one admendment,why can't they take 'em all!!!
HEY JOE! waas up ! EOC is a really cool CD.Joe,I`ve always dug your music and
it always kept me in touch with my guitar.Joe,would you ever consider using 7
string guitars in your music?I have so far.With the use of Techno rhythms and the 7-string in low A and as a rhythm guitar,I`ve was able to come up with a
wild combo of heavy riffing and synthesized rhythm.IT`S SOUND TOTALLY COOL!!!
You should try it.Hope to hear from you.
Yayo, maybe you should lay OFF the coffee. Bottom line is guns suck. Yesterday in my newspaper, a local guy was at the grocery store with his girlfriend and 17 month old son. The guy reached out for the baby who started to run and the gun in the holster tucked in the waistband of his pants went off. The bullet hit him in the artery in his leg, and he died in the car as his girlfriend frantically drove him to the hospital. He was 30. Yeah, isn't owning a gun cool?
What's up J....On the way to work I was listening to track8 on your Crystal Planet cd, "Ceremony". All day I had that song in my head, so I pulled up the tabs for them...Wish me luck...oh yeah....See you in Boston next month..Boston Beer Works Joe...Come buy...Later....Craig
By the way, I'm not saying I'm into all this shooting stuff at private clubs- I'm glad that Guns are pretty much totally banned over here. Now change the subject and stop spouting such crap.
Whatever it's got to do with anything, but there's no need to own a gun in the UK (except for in controlled clubs). Criminals are VERY rarely armed themselves, and unlike what it seems to be in the US, it isn't considered reasonable to kill someone just because they have broken into your house. We've got by without blowing eachothers brains out for long enough, but maybe we're just wierd. Don't judge the rest of the world by your own narrow standards!
Living in England as i do , i find the idea of anyone being able to own a gun shocking . At the end of the day weopons only cause destruction and living in a gun free society is way preferable than living in a gun wielding society . The idea that you need a gun to defend your property is lame - without a gun in our houses thieves don't run loose over here - we have a strict punishment system . Anyway , i'd prefer my house to be burgled than to shoot and possibly kill someone - it's only possessions over a life after all - even if it is a scumbag burglar. Violence is on the increase in England , but it isn't at the same level as in other parts of the world , and GUNS would Increase the problem - not solve it. Just thinking out loud anyway . Adam - tell Marta thanks for last night . All the best . John
...and one more thing- if one were to compare U.S. crime rates with those of the UK, you would suprised to know how much lower crime rates are in the UK, as opposed to the mighty mighty U.S.of A.
Joe, I first heard your music back in '90. I went to a friend's apt. and he was playing The Extremist album. I was immediately smitten and went out & got it. Played it every day for almost a year. Then started collecting all your albums up until The Extremist. Since then, I've waited for each of your new albums to come out with great anticipation. I enjoy them all. But right now I'm pretty obsessed with EOC because it's newest & freshest. Maybe someday I'll get to see you live... here's hoping.
Portugal calling again... Joe, are you free to make your music the way you want and like or do you still have some kind of pressure on you from producers, studio guys, or even your family and public?
Bye
HI joe needed to stop in for a min and apolygize to you and and how every that I was chatt,n with last nite for cuss,n in the chat,totally got mad something so stupid,and some time when a person does that they also tend to say stupid things too,I feel most of all bad that it your home soory joe wont let it happen again,and ha ya still packing for the road?or already to go,,ha cool im still along with oh!about atleast 500 of my personal friends are wait,n to see you on the 24th ,Engines is a really cool tunes(all). still bebop,n around the hood blast,n track 5(my hood) but they all crank well have joe injoy sorry ,andpeace,,carl...ps. try to add raspberry delta jam_V to the list,cool,bye
Hey yayo, Those thoughts i offered before were not completely my own! My point, which was obviously overlooked by some, was that in a Utopian society, guns would be arbitrary. We obviously do not live in, or could even fathom living in a Utopian society, so there is really no happy medium for the gun control dispute. People want to abolish guns, and people want to marry them, there really is no ground for dispute in between. And if there is, it is unarguable because people then want to retreat as far to the extremes as possible, which would in turn bring us back to the original question; how do we live peacefully and comfortably??? just some food for thought!...later...adam
ACP4EVA: i take it you don't live in the mighty might U.S.A...... if there was strict gun control such as slick willy proposes, photo id's, 3 day background checks at gun shows, smart gun technology and god knows what else then we would have the government saying "no no cant shoot your gun yet" "only on tuesdays and fridays you can shoot your gun" its bogus, i hear in the UK you cant even own a gun! what up with that? what do you do when someone breaks into your house when you are sleeping? call the police? hahaahaa..... oh yeah and if there were strict gun control then that would mean less killing which would equate to a large population.....what are we gonna do if we cure all diseases and have strict gun control? we will have billions more people than before and no food, water which equates to famine and cannabialism.....oh yeah and this is all before my first cup of coffee.
Hi Joe!
My girlfriend and I are so excited about your concert at Massey Hall in Toronto late April.
I've waited 12 years to see you live. I'm so glad you're coming to Canada this tour. The new record is great. It is very open, fresh and innovative.
You are a super songwriter.
We both look forward to seeing you live! We've got the balcony seat over the stage, Its going to be cool!
KEN: totally, guns for all..... i dont dig the whole mandatory use of a trigger lock either, what happens when you have someone ALREADY in your house and you need the key for the trigger lock? thought not.... its the democrats who wanna do away with the second ammendment..... it wont happen, REDRABIT: i think the chicago show costs more cause the mob needs thier cut too.....
Joe, Just curious to know why it is that we in Chicago are paying $38.50 for the H.O.B. shows, when H.O.B. in FLA is merely $22.00. I have no doubts that you give 100% at every show (all that I've seen), so why such a difference in $$? I'm not complaining at all, I'll gladly fork up the cash, it just seemed a little odd. By the by, "Engines of Creation" is wonderful. Set list suggestions: New Blues, Look My Way, Big Bad Moon....
look at the snorting... here goes the giant........... ROAR..... Weave me a blanket or forever feel the rath of this---- :LO! deny me freshmaker????!! what dost thou smell of.... ahhhhhh thou art one of them cake people... the people from the cake.... your comming to eat the others arent you.. NO YOUR NOT YOUR LYING!! whatAREyou going to do with your spatula? hmmmm??? interegate me will you!! spring forth all mighty action figure AND TEACH THE SPLENDED ONE A LESSON!!!! LOOK NO FURTHER FOR HERE IS YOUR PRIZE ONE MILLION TOOTH PICKS AND ASSORTED DRYED FRUITS. WHY MUST YOU LOOK AT ME FUNNY FOR MY NAME IS THAT WICH STRIKES FEAR INTO THE HEARTS OF THE CUMCUATS. I AM .... HAHAHAH TRICKED YOU... YOULL NEVER KNOW MY NAME.. I DONT KNOW MY NAME.. I HAVE AMESHIA.... GO AWAY.. I ODNT LIKE YOU
Joe, I went on ebay last night and I saw the bonus CD on there. I can't believe its going for almost 20 bucks. But I have it and I love it. Turkey Man is cool, I live that track. Are you going to display your tour set up here on the web? Im curious on what effects you use to make those cool, crazy wierd sounds. I can identify some but not all. Talk to you later REUBEN
Hey abdallah, thanks for the comment- I'm actually in my "correct" frame of mind right now, so I can speak coherently! Hey Joe, I still have those 24!!! people comin' with me to see your show in Boston... in an extremely high state last night, actually just after i wrote on this message board, we put on Flyin' and just rocked out to the WHOLE album! It was so much fun- we were all playing air guitar, and just being total asses in general- ahhh...good times...later everyone...adam
Hell there JOE,
'Engines of Creation' is definetly a brave departure for you. As most musicians are aware trying to fuse the new electronic sounds that are being explored in house/garage/two-step/transient/etc. with the sound of the electric guitar and craeting an original and balanced sound has had most of us pulling our hair out!!. Having listened to your new album, I think that you have managed to do just that. I know that this was experimental stuff for you and so some of it like 'borg sex' maybe a little weak on the ground (although not technically, obviously!!). You definetly hit the write formula (for me at least) with Devil's slide, Flavor crystal 7, The power cosmic 2000-part 1, Engines of creation and my personal favourite at the moment 'Clouds race across the sky'.
The new set-list preference is a good idea, and once again reminded me of the ever growing amount of music that you are catalouging(sp!?). I tried to create a list that shifted moods, opening with my favourite piece, 'Flying in a blue dream'. I have always loved the way you used the feedback at the beginning of the piece. Brilliant.
Anyway, as ever Joe you are proving to us all just how far behind we all are!! I hope you tour the U.K at some point this summer, as I will come and see you again. It would be a hatrick (third time). So ciao for now.
Yours faithfully,
Latinboy.
Joe - just submitted my dream set. I suggest you play close attention to it, as I am your #1 fan. I first was turned on to your music back in '87, when I was a junior in H.S. Believe me, it gave me something to live for, as my teen years were difficult, to put it mildly! Your music has some sort of cosmic power.
Oh yeah, Joe, I'm not exactly a rich feller but a friend of mine's dad owns a airline company, and he may be able to get cheap tickets for me so I can see you in Vancouver after all! On another note, I would give both arms and both legs to see a G3 with you, Steve Vai and Yngwie.
I'm going to sound like a nutty-buddy saying this, but you guys should try popping EOC into the discman, putting on the headphones at medium/quiet levels, and leave it playing while you sleep. Gitchy!! I thought natural high was a myth ;)
There's an interview with satch in the May issue of Guitar Player magazine; talking about the development, guitar parts, gizmos & recording of EOC.
i still dont like the recording technique. i prefer the ole fashioned way - go in the studio and cut some tape. but alas, do it at home on a computer and save a bundle...more money to the bottom line.
oh well. check out the article.
Hey Joe This Is True!* Last night I had a dream about you. You were at my house and I was playing around with your guitar. I was commenting to you what I thought about EOC, all the while you were smiling and seem to be taking it all in stride. I figured this is how you probably do it in real life. (Although, your stings were taped down real close to the fret board to make the action as close as possible... real weird...)
If there are any questions as to why Yngwie isn't on the G3 tour, it may be helpful for some to look up EGO in the dictionary. It's about the same size as his native Sweden. He's a fantastically talented bloke alright and although I love neoclassical, it has become a bit passe for the tastes of the masses. The Japanese seem to love him though. Yngwie, the concert suite was a nice idea, but you've gotta move on mate. Why do people want to built conservatories all over the place? What's that got to do with Joe anyway, or is it a sideline like Vai keeps bees?

I told you another time . I have been my own teacher all my life, because no one would help me . I like teaching myself but i know i need some help from somebody like you . I don't think you know how it is to live a poor life. my folks toegheter earn 150$/month because there are very hard living conditions in Romania.So 4 people live from 150$/month. How could i pay for a conservatory in the States? i can't. That's why i thought that maybe you could help me on a mental level. i hope that you won't consider this a joke.

G'day Joe. Have you ever had troubles with warming up your hands before a performance? I know that if it is cold, it can make it difficult for the hands and fingers to work at their best. I think some players use warm water before playing? Yourself?
Hey, I'm twenty! That's not a young age to be listening to decent stuff. Joe, what do you think of the current rock scene? Guitar music must progress if it's to survive but it seems to me that it's becoming cool to hardly be able to play your own instruments and cover it up with distortion. Each to his own I suppose. Anyway, keep it going, someone has to set the standard!
Joe, the great guitarist over the world. I´m from Spain. Sorry, I don´t speak english very well. I´m studying Chemical Engineering. I´m 20. Maybe you´re surprised cos´maybe I´m young to listen to you, but every day at every minute of my life, I listen to several of your songs. Your music have changed my life, since one year ago. I´ve got all your songs, except Engines of Creation, which I´ll buy tomorrow. I know that it´s very difficult that you write me an i-mail back, but I´m happy to write here. My brother (26) saw you in a concert with Deep Purple in Gijón (Asturias-Spain) in 1993 (if I´m not wrong).
Since several months ago I´m trying to find merchandise of you (T-shirts), but it´s very difficult. I can´t find any store that has got merchandise of you. I´m thirsty.
¿YOUR BEST SONGS? CRUSHING DAY, CIRCLES, SPEED OF LIGHT, RUBINAAAAAAAAAAAAA (OH, THIS IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG, MY GOD!!!!!!!!), AND, JOE.......YOU´RE GREAT IN C I R C L E S.
Ho, JOE, what about your new looking in Crystal Planet and Engines of Creation? I think that your best album is Surfing With The Alien.
Well, don´t think of me as a fool. I´m a very good fan of Steve
Vai and you. When we (fans) could listen to an album composed by Stevie and Joe?
Thanks to God for the existence of Satriani.
Hi Joe,
Just listened to Borg Sex and Until We Say Goodbey. I Think Borg Sex is FRESH. Masterpiece. But there was also a disappointment.
-=]I did not see any tourdate on the other side of the big lake. You also have fans in Europe.[=-
Let me give you an example ;)
00-May-26 Fri Rotterdam, Holland Ahoi
Hi. Great album, Joe. When Crystal Planet came out you talked a lot about the electronica influence on that one, but it didn't come out as much as it does here. Two questions: Will you have an opening band? and Will there be any webcasts like last tour? By the way, "Crystal Planet" the song would be a perfect way to kick off your shows; it's techno, it's heavy, it's rhytmic, it's just perfect. Anyway, see you in El Paso. Peace.

hey know what, don't worry about it, I am sure that she has recieved more than enough love from all of us left here on Earth, that you shouldn't worry or feel odd that I asked you. I am just not entirely sure how to deal with it just yet?????? Nasty way to go though. very sad. Good luck on the tour. It is great that you respond to us people. I usually just scan the pages to see how or if you have said anything, on a day to day basis. catch you in Toronto. Markus ;o)

Hey Joe: I am going to a funeral for a close family friend who died of Cancer a the age of 46, within 9 1/2 days of being diagnosed,On tomorrow's live chat date, and I was wondering if? it would be cool to have you say "sorry to have never known you, Fiona" she was a great mother and a dear friend of my family, and an excellent friend. Markus ;o)
hey joe, great news for you: your "engines..." sells in France.It is ranked #20 in the charts here.I'm really glad for you."power cosmic 2000" is great.abdallah.
p.s: adam i agree .guns (and giving death ) have no place in a "civilized" country.

Have you ever performed any cover songs from bands you liked as a kid, like a tribute to Hendrix? or the steve miller band ( just a thought they are cool stuff too.) Less than a month now until You are in my town, Boy am I excited. I wonder if the crowd is gonna be like Steve Vai's concert all middle aged balding men smoking weed, and without there wives or girlfriends? but I guess that you aren't as metal-ish so I figure more women will be in the crowd this time?
All albums are gonna be played off of, that is great, not too much old not too much new. an good equilibrium of good ole Joe music. You are an inspiration.
Markus :o)
Hey everyone...Ken Campbell...if you think about it, to be governed IS to be ruled. We have been ruled by society's womb since birth- it's kinda like a way in which we keep each other in check, which refers back to that whole "checks and balances" thing. Gun control in America is much long over-due and needed in the states! Youth violence, adult rage, child deaths, are all( in some/most cases) repercusions of the current gun laws. If we look back through recent and "ancient" American history, we'll find many ways in which our capitalistc, and "democratic" government regulates our ever step through life. This is how we as a people create an ordered society, as opposed to an order-less one, in which dis-order and havoc run rampant through life- thus, the description of nature... we naturally come out of nature to find authority, and laws, and all that good stuff which enables us, and our children, to live reasonably peaceful lives! WOW...I think I'm way too tired...It's about 2:15am EST, and I'm sitting in a pot-filled dorm room, listening to Jimi Hendrix- it don't get much better than this!!! Joe- you rule, and everyone here loves you(they told me to write that)! We'll all see you in Boston bro- keep up the good work, and jam on...! p.s.- sorry if i was babbling before- i'm seeing about 20 screens right now!...laters...adam
Joe!! I have to admidt that I'm a new listener and only wish I could call myself a "hardcore fan," but I'll get there some day. I just wanted to say that I really respect the fact that you treat your fans so good. You make such a great role model for aspiring young guitarists such as myself. I'm getting my hands on anything I can that you've released, and just wanted to say "thank you" and good luck. Your work as a musician and as a person are much appreciated,
Take care,
Dan Rice
hey Satch!!! I'm gettin stoked for May 20th!!!!!!oooooooohhhhh man!! I really don't care what you play....just as long as it's you!!! surprise me!!! later. Matt
Hi Joe! Love the new album. I've sorta gotten into the whole electronic thing the last few years and I think mixin' it with guitar is totally cool. There's still nothin' like good ole straight forward rockin' on the guitar but I think it's cool you're experimenting. Hopefully I can get out of MS and come to one of your shows. I've never gotten the chance. I don't see anything real close by on the tour dates, may have to plan a road trip. I think it will be interesting to see how some of the new stuff sounds live. Take it easy Joe, though it may be hard since your about to tour, and keep up the great work!!
hope all is well joe,love the new album,it has a fell to it like not of this earth and flying in a blue dream.anyways about the g3 tour,i dont know what ahppened with eric johnson,but that guy is awesome!he has a great tone and he is an awesome guitar player,i think alot of people would love to see him back in g3,anyways good luck on the tour
christian.
OK, let's settle this for one and for all... There is NOT, I repeat, NOT, a G3 planned with Malmsteen. If you read the Satch interview in GuitarOne (March), you will learn that that was only in the planning stage and didn't get any farther than that. PLEASE read this before posting, "I heard there was gonna be a G3 with Yngwie. That would rock/suck/blow/kick butt/be OK." Thank you for your cooperation. Oh yeah, I was watching my G3 video... I STILL nearly piss my pants every time Joe does the one-handed part in Cool #9. That just frickin' drives me wild!!
Hey Joe! Ny wife and I are traveling from New Jersey to Las Vegas to see your concert at the House of Blues. I know this isn't for the dream set list, but we would love to hear I Believe. It's my wife's favorite song.
See you in Vegas,
Sean and Rachel Keegan
Hey Joe,do you have any ideas to fight stress,I jut learned that I got rocks in my liver and I'm a little scared.Thanks for reading:)!!!!!!..jimbojim...
Hey YaYo: What about all the gun control stuff going on. Man, all I can say is a citizen who is disarmed by the government is no longer governed, but ruled. What are your thoughts?
Hello again, Mr. Satriani. This is just a comment to make fellow fans aware that--per the email from Epic records--the "EOC" bonus CD is only available when you purchase "EOC" at a couple certain record store chains. I believe the only ones doing the promo where any stores affiliated with Wherehouse, or those affiliated with a certain chain of indie stores. You have to follow the links on the email. I did, and much to my chagrin I learned that absolutely none of these stores exist in Ohio. My shortest trip would be three hours north in Michigan, which is unconscionable to me. Joe and Epic should at least work out an arrangement to make this bonus CD available to ALL FANS who attend his shows. I've got to hear what this "Turkey Man" thing is all about.
Date: Tue Mar 28 19:36 zeus<zeushera0@hotmail.com>:
Joe: I really love your new album. I can't stop listening to it. I just wanted to ask a question about the Bonus CD. Were they shipped all over the world or just within the States? I live in Canada and I didn't get the Bonus CD...and I don't think my record store has it. Should go back and ask for it as is suggested on your site? Or were they not shipped to other countries? Thanks Joe. Alex
Someone I know worked security for your show the last time you where in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is the one that turned me onto your music. Looks like we both will be working security for your show this time around. We can't wait!! You gave him your autograph the last time you where in Minneapolis. He had it hanging up in his house. Well someone stoled it from him about 1 month ago. Is there anyway, I could get another autograph for him? It would really make his day. Thanks
hey joe, hows it going?winding up for the road?cool dont forget to add rasp berry delta jamV to your list,cool! ive had a few friends ask me who the third person sitting at the table with you in 98 in grandrapids on planet tour? if you would like to take a look at the picture, come over or e- mail at sturgis@mailexcite.com or www.clik .to/sturgis1 and leave me the answer in my guest book,,have fun on the road and peace,,carl
Joe - time for my daily post. Just for kicks I put in your self-titled job from '95 in the CD player today. It's funny how I just HATED that CD the first couple times I heard it, it was such a departure. Of course, now I love it. Cool #9 and Home are fave tracks. Be sure to play them when you come to OHIO.
Date: Tue Mar 28 18:40 Baldeagle<Purcilia@aol.com>:
I am prepared to do what ever is possible to get a copy of the bonus CD mp3s emailed to me!!!
Thanks
HEy Joe! You're the best! I'm from Argentina, and I don't speak English, so excuse me if there are errors (?) in this. Come to Argentina please! I don't know what to say.... Summer Song is perfect! PSYCHO MONKEY is the besttt! Ok, I'm waiting Engines of Creation..... bye, Joe master!
After listening to countless hours of Satch music, and attempting to learn some of it (with some help from Morkie's Guitar Schtuff), I found that it seemed easier to play some of Joe's fast licks than playing the slower stuff. I tried learning Thinking of You, and it hit me! I was playing the same notes, but danm!!! It sounded awful! I've almost got Ceremony down packed, but the slow stuff, like in Always With Me..., is way to difficult for me to play. I congratulate you Joe, for some fine work and playing with such spirit!
HI SATCH, I'M YOUR BIGEST FAN HERE IN MEXICO CITY A HAVE EVERY CD FROM YOU AND I LOVE THOSE "STRANGE AND BEAUTYFULL MUSIC" YOU HAVE PLAYED ALL OVER THESE YEARS . I HOPE YOU VISIT SOME,DAY MEXICO CITY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF FANS HERE AND WE HAVE MANY PLACES WHERE YOU CAN MAKE A SHOW SO I WISH YOU MOST THINK ABOUT IT, THANKS FOR REDDING THIS, BYE
Hey Joe,
How does it feel to know you taught one of the greatest metal guitar
players Kirk Hammett. For me it was a cool thing to find out that my
guitar hero was taking lessons from the great JOE SATRIANI !!!!!
Hey darkeyes, Just Wonderin'. I saw Joe for the first time on the Surfin tour at a club in the flats. It had no stage. We were all on the same level. Is that club still there? Do you remember the name of it? I live in Florida now and will be catching the Orlando show. Looking forward to it Joe. Just saw Steve Vai down here recently too and that was a great show. Later......
Hey Joe...I saw someone else has already beat me to my question but another loyal fan would like to know - WHEN ARE YOU COMING TO CLEVELAND OR AKRON??? Don't forget us please! We're waiting inpatiently :-)
Hey Joe,
Is it true that Yngwie Malmsteen, will be on the next G3 tour? If so, can you guys work with his big ego in the way. Don't get me wrong the guy is awsome and rocks hard. I like your new direction on new album. Electronic music is becomming very popular, and will be here for long time. I was hoping you would venture in this direction 2yrs ago. As a young instramental musician, I think your new album rocks.
Your loyal fan, Bun
Hey Joe, I've been meaning to try to catch you in the chat and never been able to so I guess I'll try this question here; I've been wanting to expand my knowledge of music theory and I was wondering if you had any good books to recommend on the topic. TIA
Joe;
Bought "Engines of Creation" about 10 days ago. It's definately a departure from the "expected" Satriani release. But I'm having fun with it. As a Web Designer and a bit of a computer "geek", this album is definately speakin' to me. And the solos are fitting and tight, as usual. I've got many more listens before this one finally sinks in, but I'm lovin' it. Hope you'll come to Dallas on your tour. Myk!
Hi Joe & All,
It turns out that Joe (you probably already knew this) is not appearing in Santa Cruz this Thursday. The sign on the front of the music store says "Appearing This Thursday" or something to that effect, but when I called the store they said that the sign was "misleading". The sign is really referring to an internet chat sponsored by The Wherehouse. I'm still glad I finally bought a JS1000, and if there are going to be any in-store appearances in the future I'll definitely be there!
-Erik
Joe For PRESIDENT !!!
Hi Joe,how the hell did you came up with Silent Night,Holy Night Jam ?
It's out of this world,i've got no words,to explain how i feel when i

Hi Joe, i'm the new product manager for Korg Toneworks and Tuners, the new DT-7 poster came out great. I love the new CD, it's refreshing in a lot of new ways.
I'd love to get some Toneworks products out to you to try out and get your feedback, give me line when you can, thanks Paul Kramer
paul_kramer@korgusa.com
Zinc, I've just read it. I think I can answer: sorry but it's just like Xuxa (Brasil) to go to your child anniversary and sing to you, really. Invite me baby, and give some bucks for the horsery, bye.
Obligation: I say that I saw Flash (med. Usp) laghing in my costume (europe 89) with my olimpus trip (35mm), and I saw my father (white head) laughing next to one of sigma's blackboard (green).
Shut. **
Still, could that sp fat promoter tell me what difference it makes against that backstage boring vip of child-abuse ? (kisses, for instance, where we both agree). ufa! 2000.
Hey Joe, any chance you can play Chorley in the North West UK? There's a small pub I think I can book which holds about 150-200 people - I'll buy you a pint.
and a chocolate bar...
Bug Hallen: we were playing A Viagem (Roupa Nova) when you asked about my life US. It's me who says now wether its in LA, Texas or NY (it is laughing...). Besides my efforts to recover why I am in this home something like 1,2,1,2 space 2,60 came across my thoughts and I liked it: my friend Sergio Bartolli in the Ultraje a Rigor solo guitar (e tal...). Never thought I would get this point as to ask the key to such an @ss of being without just my other side to fullfil my desires (it's about being smart, I mean). And to tell the truth, I know my life is going to be less exposed to magazine style. Yet, father told me not to live in Europe (of the Britons). Please, remind me of that mama talk with descendent (respect!) because I forgot !@$%%@#.
Hey Joe, glad to see you have selected the Moore Theater in Seattle as the venue site. I believe this is the best place in town to hear and see shows. Last time you came through, you played the Paramount and the sound for those in the balcony was awful. The subwoofers don't reach the balcony at the Paramount and subsequently two-thirds of the sound was missing. I mentioned the Moore to the fellow at the soundboard. Although its capacity is smaller it is a whole lot more intimate and the sound can't be beat. Do you know when tix will be on-sale for your Portland & Seattle dates? Looking forward to your arrival!
I am a long time loyal fan and I must admit it took 2 or 3 full listenings to fully appreciate it. It is great and I am now a devoted fan. QUESTION? If you play this CD with the movie Matrix on...will it have the Pink Floyd / Wizard of Oz effect? I will see waht happens tonight. Looking forward to Atlanta's Music Midtown!!!
Hi Joe
thank you for giving us another piece of your great humang being.
Engines of Creations sounds so innovative
Riff in Borg Sex starting at 1:53 is simply incredible, as the "fraseggio" between the two guitars in the whole song.
Tomorrow (03/29) I should be at the concert of your friend Steve. I hope to hear you in Italy ASAP. Thanks great man
Hi, Joe. Just wanna know how ur doing? I think it is great what you have done with Engines of Creation. So refreshing and different.. me like :)
Just one other thing, when are u going to finish ur website, cause it is a long way from finished. If you like i can do it for you, cause i have also a webdesign company (pitty it is located in Holland/the Netherlands :), just kidding. Hope to see you soon in Europe, especially in Rotterdam Ahoy, Holland.
Good luck with touring *as if u need it*
Bye for now... Joas
Hey Joe,I really like the direction your new album has taken us.Also I highly
reccomend your guitar secrets book for future pioneers of our six stringed
friend.I can"t wait to see you in Kansas City.Keep up the good work!
Hi Joe,
Superb new CD, What inspired your electronic tilt on this latest CD? when are
you touring England? and when are we going to see a FULL LIVE VIDEO of yourself
in action?
Hi Joe Satriani in Blue....I came here on message board to say Hi and I haven't bought your new cd yet..But I'll get that cd real soon..umm...Would you mind if you reply me a message on this message board..I nevered gotten responses from you before...your fan Danny
HI Joe, Please could you place the bonus CD tracks here in MP3 format, I too bought the CD the day it was released in the UK (but no Bonus CD). I like EOC very much, Well done, Look forward to seeing you.
(btw: How can I get you to sign my Chrome boy, I already have a Musicman signed by Eddie Van Halen)
Cheers Alan (Jonesy)
Joe, Does Stu have his own web-site? And, does he plan on doing a new album soon? I love the song Flow My Tears, from his first album. I love the sond of your guitar. Take care, Reuben

Hi Joe,
Nice new album. I was surprised with the techno/futuristic (for lack of a better word) :) sound in this album. It definitely does not sound like any of your other albums but
the trademark leads and sound are still present, though not as pervasive. It is amazing to listen to the music you compose and I am totally in awe. I do have a complaint though. You came to Columbus, Ohio the last time around (Crystal Planet) and you are not coming here this time. I noticed there are no tour dates in Ohio. Is there any possibility of playing in Cleveland or Cincinnati ? I wouldnt mind driving to either of those places to see you play again and I am sure your fans in Ohio feel the same. I hope you will add one of these cities to your list.
Percy
Hi there Joe, i'm a big fan of you. Just got your new CD and it's fabulous. I saw you have a tour coming up and i'm deceived to see that Montreal is not on your itinerary. I know your going to Toronto but that's a 80$ bus ticket that i can't afford(i'm a poor student) PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! come to Montreal. Steve Vai came and sold out at the Spectrum and he said it was the best show of his tour? you too have a LOT of fans here, i'm shure you can do the same. A fan with hope. TOV!
Hey joe! just wanted to let u know that i really enjoyed EOC! i just recently was introduced to ur playing! up untill a couple of months ago, i didnt even know who u were. im wanting to get some of ur old albums, i hear they are really great! i look forward to learning more about u and ur music! im more into bands like the DOORS and i also like alot of blues! i love muddy waters! anyways i can now add u as a fav! take care u!
hello i am in the proccess of making a web page not about myself but about my life and interests. you may think its stupid now but listen. it's basicly like reading someone else's journal. but the thing is, is that i need support and publicity etc. so if anyone is interested in helping me please e-mail freakona@kidrock.com. thanx
Hello Joe, only 10 days to go before I here "Engines of creation" for myself! I had it sent to my home address because otherwise I would never get any studies done (I'm in university). Can't wait!
Hey Joe, new CD is great purchased it on day of release. Question for you: - Could you not place bonus CD in MP3 format for download or for a small price at your concerts to those who attend. Also can you tell me how to get my JS100(tr) signed when you come to UK this summer, hopefully!. Backstage pass would be gratefully appreciated?), thanks.
hello joe i`m from colombia i play the guitar too. i wanna be like you because you are the better musician for me. ok i gotta go please write me back.svr
Joe, i bought your cd at amazon.com, but they can't give me the cd bonus... What can i do ????
Date: Tue Mar 28 09:12 spuds28<cmchandler@mmm.com>:
Joe,
Got front row seats for your show in Minneapolis. We should be right straight in front of ya. Can't wait to finally see your playing up close. See ya April 21st.
Joe, Once again congrats on "EOC" I was just curious which one song in particular took the longest to record & write. Can't wait to see you and the guys on April 29th in Philly. Your friend Craig C. P.S. Philadelphia Loves You !!!
hey joe, a friend of mine came over to my house and he was trying to sell this guitar he just got, its a mint condition burgundy 1983 les paul custom and he said guitar center would only give him $600 for it! those people are rips man.... what up with that?
True: I foght British youth in front of 234 house (I won) - I was spanked in Eurocentres when coming to class (stairs, I lost) - I was photographed with my father by my side at second bus floor by a german gentleman - I never found someone like me in the art of fockery (bo, goro, coock, so on... sacou?). By american beauty isn't there (London), I recon. The same with bone collector (too predictable) and lake & house murders. The fact is that I am still with Headless Horseman irrrhrarr irrrhrarr prtrtrtr troc troc troc sshinnn aharharhar !!!
Hi, Joe, I'm back again. The other day, I saw a whole gaggle of people wearing satriani t-shirts in Bristol, UK, which to be honest, OK, isn't THAT common because lots of people over here have no taste. Nevertheless there are definitely easily enough people in this part of the world to justify a gig in Bristol, or preferably Cardiff international arena because it's so much nicer there (no offence any Bristolians out there). I mean, at least LOADS of people know you by reputation over here even if they're not into your stuff, same for steve V. but tragically not for eric Johnson which I think is a pity because he's pretty cool too. Anyway, that's enough from me.
Hi Joe, are you saying that you literaly read every single message posted up on this board? If so, my hat sincerely goes off to you for finding the time to indulge your fans, mate.
joe, i just wanted to say how much i love the song Rubina. especially the live version off of the Time Machine album. to me, i have never heard a song with so much feeling behind the actual music. i felt as if i could actually feel your own emotions and feelings in that song. see ya, Te Koi
Hi joe ! I'm french, and I'm a fan of you ! I played classical guitar for 6 years, and now, I play electric guitar for 2 year. I learned all the songs of the album "Surfing the Alien", and now, I learn the album "The Extremist". I love the son of the guitars, and I would like to know what guitar you use for these two album.
Thank you very much for answering me, and see you later.
Why don't you quit begging Joe for money, put your head into some books on theory, scales, etc. and practice then practice and when you practice some more then practice some more and eventually you will develope your own style
Date: Tue Mar 28 02:50 jimbo_ro<jimbo_ro@yahoo.com>:
I told you another time . I have been my own teacher all my life, because no one would help me . I like teaching myself but i know i need some help from somebody like you . I don't think you know how it is to live a poor life.
my folks toegheter earn 150$/month because there are very hard living conditions in Romania.So 4 people live from 150$/month. How could i pay for a conservatory in the States? i can't. That's why i thought that maybe you could help me on a mental level.
i hope that you won't consider this a joke.
Date: Tue Mar 28 02:29 jimbo_ro<jimbo_ro@yahoo.com>:
hi !
have you considered helping o fellow musician?
i don't have any money to attend a conservatory, and maybe you could be my mentor .
Hello Joe!! EOC is another fine musicial statement.I'm really diggin all the tracks.Clouds race across the sky is moving me the most,very soulfull!!A'm very fortuate to catch the first two shows of the tour,sac town on 12th,reno on 13th ,and im not rubbing it in everybody,he's just starting very close to were i'm living. I've been a loyal fan from flying on and have seen every tour,but the Crystal Planet tour totally blew my mind!There was only one thing that bummed me at that show here in sac town .The second to the last song of the set was rasberry delta v .On the intro of the tune your guitar effect cut out and your tech ran out from the back to try and resolve the problem.In his effort he couln't solve the problem,at that point you said "Well we might as well do the last song" which was Surfin with the alien. So when you make your set list for this tour could you please include Rasberry jam delta v!! I'd really love to hear it live !!! KEEP ROCKIN AND WE LOVE YOU !! RATTLESNAKE,PEACE!!!
Erm....can anyone tell me what time Joe will be online on Monday?? Not quite figured out the time difference from america to england yet. Secondly, Joe on 'Mystical potatoe head groove thing', how to you tap out that fiddly bit? I know you cross over your hands but i cant do it for the life of me.....wondering if im missing some other technique? Im assuming that you roll your first, third and pinky over the notes but i cant get it fast enough that way. Matt
Hey Joe, I just got your new cd and I must say it's great! It sounds like you were tapped into your ALLAN HOLDSWORTH influence on this record even though the musical environments are somewhat electronica based. You seem to use a lot of modal interchange, and play over changes more than just one tonal center. Very Cool stuff! Good luck with the tour, I'll be seeing ya in BOSTON. Also thanks to you and your fans for their support of my music on my site,I enjoy their comments! Keep ripping!! JOSEPH http://www.mp3.com/JOEFELONI
** Hello Joe, your pal Tommy here from So-Cal... I bought the new album and I just wanted to say that it's really inspirational to hear you using the new technology to create music. It's something I've been doing myself also, more recently... My favorite song has to be "Clouds race across the sky"... I love the key changes, that song is just moving. I really think you should open the show with Power Cosmic Part I, that song rocks also... Anyway, I'm really satisfied with the fact that you did something different, regardless of the fact that some people can't accept change... You might want to check out a program called "fruity loops", my friend and I have found it very useful with making loops and samples on the computer.. See ya in May...
Joe, I can't explain how did you compose the song call "the forgotten" part two it's so, so cool and out of this world I never hear something like that, please tell me how do you this song? please answer.
Hello there, Mr. Satriani. "Engines of Creation" is pretty darn brilliant. "Until We Say Goodbye" is an instant classic Satch ballad, in the grand tradition of "Always With Me...," "Home," and "You're My World." Great stuff. However, it's "Borg Sex" and "Attack" that make me want to either 1) go jogging or 2) start working out. I suppose either would be a good thing. My point is that those two electro-tech tunes affect my medula oblongata in a most profound and positive way--the synapses really blow my neurons out, if you get my meaning. I also dig "Devil's Slide," especially the solo section, wherein you have different guitars contributing a measure alternately on the left and right sides of the stereo field. Cool, cool, cool indeed.
But lookie here now, Mr. Satriani. I see Cleveland is not yet included on your tour itinerary. You can't NOT come to Cleveland. I've seen you here in town every time you've stopped by, ever since Peabody's DownUnder in '88. I notice that you're booked through April pretty much, but please do try and loop back around to our neck of the woods. As usual, your Cleveland constituents shall reward you with an extremely enthralled (and merchandise hungry)capacity audience. May St. Joe accompany you and yours on the road and good health and fortunes abound, and thanks again for adding another favorite disc to my collection.
Finally got my car out of the body shop, crashed it just before the album came out. Now I can listen to EoC in the car as well!! Actually, I'm pretty happy just to have my car back.
Anybody want to hook up at the Wiltern? See ya, Joe!
PS, let me take you rafting!
Satch: No question...just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to actually pick up one of my six-haired friends instead of using them as decoration!
Thanks,
W@yLoN
bonez48@angelfire.com
Hey Joe, Flyin in a Blue Dream is my fav song. I was wonderin if your gonna cover it on this tour, and what was your inspiration for this one, It has special meaning to me cause I was goin through some tough emotional times the day I bought the album and it just seemed to strike a cord in me (no pun intended!) and it's been my fav ever since.
Hey there Joe how are ya?? I read your tour schedule and they forgot to include the date for you to kick some serious ass at the World Famous Cains Ballroom here in Tulsa Oklahoma, you're not really coming anywhere else near here so why not make a stop?? We love ya here in the heartland please don't leave us out of your EOC tour.
Joe, Since this is an awesome tour coming up, do you plan on releasing a live album of it?.... it would be awesome! I hope you plan on having one, we're dure for one, hehe. And how do we win the stuff by entering our setlists?... by the people with the most songs you want to play? Thanks, -Ryan
Just finished my first listen to EOC. wow. I mean, WOW! Sounds like the sountrack to the movie Tron, the Y2K version, if they had one. You are so ahead of your time! It's not FIABD, but I like it. It's quite different than anything I've heard. Only you could do something like this! And the live versions should really be mind blowing. Later, for now, take care, Steve
hey joe, it's Te Koi again. how about showing everyone your Power Cosmic that you did in the guitar player magazine in feb. 1987. that'd be pretty cool.
Te Koi
Joe - Bonus CD finally arrived via UPS today. I like it, and this isn't a knock at all, but to those of you who couldn't get it, you really aren't missing THAT much. Only one song on it is not on EoC, and it was not written by Joe anyway. The best thing on it is the remix of Flavor Crystal 7. The acoustic drums really kick. If it weren't for the fact that commercial radio is run by empty suits, it could get heavy play.
Joe how is rehearsal going? I was wondering if you plan on playing "Flavor crystal 7" live and if so will it be arranged differently because of the funky 7/4 timing. I'd imagine the new stuff will have a much different feel live. I think it will be intresting to see how the new songs will change in concert. My wife and I will be driving from Jacksonville to see you in Olando at the House of Blues. Looking forward to the show, thanx for the music....your friend Johnny
Joe, when you gonna held your concert in INDONESIA. Theres thousand "Satriani" fans in JAKARTA (INDONESIA) waiting for your magic finger to do some work in here. We will be waiting....................
Hey Joe, what's the chances of you jamming with Doug Doppler again or Jeff Tyson, is there a possibility they might jam at the warfield show. When you jammed with Stu Hamm and Skolnick at the Stone a while ago, it was incredible
Check out the video I have for sale on e-bay it is a live concert video from the flying in a blue dream tour it is very cool. It also has a guitar clinic given by Steve Vai after the the concert video. Ebay auction number 293672855
I just got the new issure of Guitar World and couldn't help but notice the killer clear JS guitar. Is that Pearly, and when can we expect Ibanez to start making them for public consumption? Mike V.
Hi Joe, just stopping in to give you a cyber hug** Time is ticking, baby! That tour will be starting up in no time. Before you know it, you'll be getting out that old Sharpie pen & swirling that signature on everything from ticket stubs to a fans most precious guitar. What's been the most bizzare thing any fan has ever asked you to autograph? I bet we can get pretty wierd, huh? lol! When I sit at my p.c. I look up on my wall where your self-titled cassette insert hangs with 2 ticket stubbs behind plexi-glass. It says (in the best bad-@ss squiggle) Joe Satriani, Mike Keneally 1997, Stu Hamm, and Jeff Campitelli. Man, I hope and pray we can do that again. It was one of the best moments in my life. How bout we set the date for April 29! See ya there Joe! peace** hi M&M
Joe, Ive been a long lasting admirer of your work.The last time I saw you perform was at the Hollywood Bowl, in the G3 concert, which rocked.I have not heard your latest cd though I'm sure it's just as good, or even better. I was just browsing through my latest issue of guitar world and saw your web address. So I thought I would give you a little word up.This is totally cool.
Joe, I'm gettin' kinda' scared?!?! I have been hearin rumors that the electric
factory is an 18 or older club!!! Is this true! I sure ope not, because it
would have been th first time I've ever seen you live! Please tell me if it is
or isn't!! Talk to ya' later...
Hey Joe,
I bought the new album the first day out. "INCREDIBLE"
But hey Im going to your show at the 9:30 club, and i just bought
one of your signature 100 Ibanezes. And I was wondering if there was
any way posible that I could get you to sign it. PLLEEAASSEE!!!!
estatic fan,
Satman
just thought id comment on flavor crystal 7, i definitely dig 7/4. is this maybe a sign of things to come? i only wish more artists stepped out of that 4/4 safety net more often. keep it creative.
joe, how about The Forgotten Part 2, Friends, Crushing Day, (You're) My World, and what i would really like to hear (and see) almost more than Rubina, is I Am Become Death. you have to admit, that would definately be a crowd pleaser...
looking forward to Vegas. anything on backstage passes?
take care
Te Koi
HEY DUDE GOTTA A FEW IDEAS THAT ARE KILLER AND IT TAKES YOU AND OTHERS AND COMBINES AN EFFORT....LOVE TO DIRECT AND CONDUCT.....JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE
JOE WHATS UP WITH NO RESPONCE THIS REALLY SUCKS CAUSE IT WOULD BE NICE TO SAY A FEW LINES IN PERSON , WOULDNT WANT TO TAKE UP MUCH OF YOUR PRECIOUS TIME, I KNOW YOU MUST BE BUSSY AND ALL EXCEPT , THATS ME ON THE BEGINING OF FLYIN AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU CAME BY IT , AND NOT TO MENTION ALL THE OTHER IDEAS IN MUSIC THAT HAS GOTTEN TO VARIOUS ARTISTS, PLEASE RESPOND, LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION LIEGION, FOR WHEN THEY.......
Hey, I can stomp my foot too!! I can do something that Joe can do!!! He IS human after all!! Hehehe, sorry Joe I couldn't help it. Tell me, what's the story behind "The Phone Call"? It's a pretty funny song! It's great. Later.
joe i love Engines so much! its interesting how music is more than just people playing and that its really a state of mind!! When you have a tune in your head it just won't let go!! Its a vibe inside of you! then to throw it down on media matter is awesome!!!! now you've chosen to let us all hear what clicks in your head! lots of times in my playing i reflect upon your playing! I've learned most of engines and still have power cosmic left to learn. The solos are wild and some parts are tricky, but for the most part fletch comes through! Will see you on the 27th in Boston! just got tickets FINALLY!!! peace out
fletch
anyone have the rockline interview with joe? (preferably in mp3) if so email me at otayy@hotmail.com............ maybe joe can get a hold of this for those of us who were not able to listen to it and post it on the web site? (considering that rockline interviews are popular) just a suggestion.
Hi Joe how are you?Thanks again for all your beautiful music!What guitar and amps did you use for the first version of The Power Cosmic which was recorded in 1995(or 1994)?
Hi Joe,
I just bought a new JS1000. It is being shipped from Seattle as we speak, they are hard to find in stock! I could only find two black ones in the Bay Area, but one was a '98 and both had lots of dings in them. Anyway, I bought it with the hopes that you could sign it for me at your appearance this Thursday in Santa Cruz.
If you can, what would be the best pen to use? I see lots of guitar images on the internet signed with a silver paint pen. I intend to play the heck out of this guitar, but I would like to preserve the signature. Have you heard of overcoating signatures with clear gloss? Or a clear plastic sticker of some sort?
Thanks,
Erik
PS - Devil's Slide is great!
Bullsh1t: Jubilado - bass player; Chicken - virgin (I'd rather dildo's counterpart); Child - able to learn like 4 lawer. || No Lie: man - strong enough to play with boards and proper instruments full balads; modest - Joe called him best, nevertheless, he wanted to reserve it. || Shame: fat pacient of Daily Hospital (LS-DF), native ceremony (tribal marriage), papa PM cheif (BD? dunno...), wanted me to believe that - flash - was her friend (they never got together) and mine not to follow the thread to the stunts of your, friends: UnB ceubinho, sat on the left when coming from FacTec, namely Patricia and somebody nice... if I could be there again, it would be nicer, bye.
HEY , SATCH FANZ!!! If you like Blues rock guitar, then you NEED to check out the Chris Duarte Group!!! Chris Duarte is THE new blues rock guitar messiah! And John Jordan is Texas's own Stu Hamm! Forget Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd! Go see the Chris Duarte Group and find out where the REAL talent is! www.chrisduartegroupfans.org
I was listening to the '...Blue Dream' album and during 'The Feeling' I hear a 'pop, pop, pop...' that I didn't notice before at the beginning ; silly question, but is that a metronome you used? It sounds just like one...Thanky!
Hi Joe it's Rick again I have 1 more question . We have a group of people where
I live that that due a "Toy's for Tot's" and we are wondering if you would be interested in doing a benifit concert for it ? if interested e-mail me at
rickncris@si-net.com thanks
Hi Joe it's Rick I'v got 2 question's #1 I'v noticed out of all your cd's you don't have any cd-extra on any of them ,why ? #2 What kind of program did the use to make the 3d guitar on your cd cover for "Engines of Creation" ?
By the way I and my family say Hi .
visions of future and past collide-a surreal dream of knights gone by
you and i walk to die
cacti creating
pincushions of
you and eye
i did not like that one
Hi Joe, Was the Rockman designed by Tom Scholz the lead guitarist of BOSTON??? I noticed you credited him on your "Flying In A Blue Dream" Liner notes!!! Also, I asked before, How much was that fancy "Korg Tuner" that Guitar World had an add of you on it????? Just curious, What I am actually think of getting is a Digitech Effects Loop Kit! That and your classic Crybaby! I like danelectro's stuff too!! As of now, I have a Yamaha GW10, basically your glorified stomp box with a built in wah, volume, and inhibitor!!!!!Anyways!!!!Peace
Wow, Joe, you're playing guitar on the tour too? Hehehe just kidding. Can Stu do another bass solo? His solo on the CP tour was CRAZY. That gig at the Tower Theater in Philly was rockin'... At the time the only CD of yours I owned was Crystal Planet (the first one I ever heard, I bought it based on the first song of yours I ever heard, A Train of Angels, in a listening post) and after the concert I rushed to get all your CD's at once. It changed my life. I've never been the same since, especially with my playing. And you've helped me with my decision to major in music and follow my dreams. I can't wait for the 29th... I'm so psyched. Definately do an album with a full strings section, or at least a couple songs, that would rule. Or do like an all jazz CD, that would be awesome too. If there's one thing I've learned from listening to your music it's that you are capable of anything. Rock on.
Hey Joe,
The guitar work on "Engines of Creation" is some awesome stuff...once again I'm blown away! "Devil's Slide" may be the best song you've written yet! When are you coming to Ohio? You're fans in Ohio are really looking forward to seeing you tear it up! Later...Tater.
Man, I has trying to make a sound like you for years. Do you any amp that make a sound yours but a trans. amp? Do you think a amp peavey with transtube system will give a sound like your marshalls? What amp? Because the pedals I know. Man, you are a brilliant guitarrist?
Hello from Paris Joe !!! Two years since your last date here , it's very long ! Hurry up man !!! Your fans want more G3 or things like that . Do you think you'll play again with Patrick Rondat , 'cause the date with him in Paris was huge ! "Engines ..." is very impressive and new ; see you in France soon I hope ...
Jean-Baptiste
hey joe, i haven't left any comments lately, school is driving me berserk!! ahh!! i bought the new album last week (finally) and i love it. i let one of my friends listen to it and he said, "man, you can't jam to that!" i'll show him a thing or two. . . thanks for following your dreams, leon . . 8-]
Hi, Joe Hope the tour is going well. I can't wait to see you in Albuquerque on the 18th. I really like your new CD and would like to hear you play "Devil's Slide". I love that song. Take care. See you soon. Darlene
HEY JOE, YOU THANK US FOR VISITING, WELL I THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE WEBSITE..IT IS ALOT OF FUN TO INTERACT WITH YOU THIS WAY..HEY JOE HERE IS AN IDEA!!! You should figure out a way to teach us at least one thing per month on guitar(for those who are up to the challenge) and have discusions on ways to accomplish the task you gave us!!!!!... Anyways, I'll See you in a month in Toronto at Massey Hall!!!!! I guess this is your last week near home!! Well I hope you have a good time, and travel safe!!!!Peace and Long Life!!Barrie
Hey im still waiting for these european tour dates....especially england ones. Anyway.....starting to get into this album thingy, going to take a while but hey. Are well another day...Later all, Matt
Hello Joe.
I just listened the new CD.
I don't know...
I listen your music from the beginning;I know this may be a natural evolution for your music, but this is not a good LP, both guitar and the electronic background. Only "Until we say goodbye" and "engines of creation" are good.
Where are you?
Joe, everytime I stop in I feel the need to post something. So it looks like your taking requests for your set list, awesome!! Well I think I love to hear "one big rush" and/or "rasberry jam delta 5" when you come to Denver on the 19th. Cant friggin wait!!!!
Hi Friends, Hi Joe... I look forward to seeing ya next time you're in Dallas! Thank you for the beautiful music. You're right, your playing on EOC is some of your best. --Steve
well ,playing the new cd over and over and this is just simply put :incredibly beautiful!! some talk about some kind of shift but i think this is just a natural evolution for your music and for those who find it hard: light up a bud and soar thru ,under,above and with the engines!! thanks joe..
Hey Joe! You have to play that April 22 show in Chicago, the 23rd is Easter and it might be tough to get to that one. Also, you HAVE to play Going Down; your version on the "evening with..." tour was awesome, and I've heard versions from Freddie King, Jeff Beck, SRV, and various blues-rock bar bands. A liberal mix of blues and ballads with your new material would really blow everyone away. Keep on rockin' Joe!
Salut! My name's henri and I'm from France.I would like to know where I can find
the backgrounds of your songs, that is to say without the originals soli.I hope
you will be able to help me.thanks,and congratulations for your last album.
Hey Joe, the new album is fantastic! Trying to get my hands on the extra CD- not so easy in my area. Are you having an opening band for the tour? I hope so because I know I'm going to be a little late for the concert in Philly. I can't wait tho!!!! See you there!
Theres only one thing I can say for your new album...........FANTASTIC!!!...............keep up the good work, And I'm coming to see you on your U.K tour!!!!!

Joe,
Just want to know If you plan on puting out any videos or DVDs in the future? Or, do you plan on releasing your old videos on DVD? Vai has a DVD out. Hey, did you see Matt and Trey fron South Pask at the Oscar's. HILLARIOUS! Cant wait to see you live. Any in store appearances in Souther California? I know I keep asking the same questions, but i need to know. Take care REUBEN
Hey Joe! Just got the new CD two days ago. I can't quit playing "Borg Sex". An awesone song! I have two little girls and they just keep dancing around the house when I put it on. I also really like "Until We Say Goodbye". Please add a Louisville or Cincinnati date to your tour. Congrats on the new CD!
Hey Joe, that's a great new CD you put out. Fun part is reading everyone's reactions to your incorporation of techno. Must admit that it certainly was a shift, and quite an intriguing one at that.
Hi Joe. I just had a brother who passed away on 3-17-00. He was a big fan of yours. In his memory we played your song "HOME" at his funeral. It was very emotional. I was just wondering if HOME is on the set list for the tour. I would love to here it for my brother Steve James Laughton. Thanks for your time. See ya at the Wiltern Theatre on April 15. Peace
Hi Joe How are you ? What about putting a webcam to your studio or when you repeat
Lots of thanks Greg
PS : are u going to france for your european tour
Hey Joe!
YOu know what? I was at my school and they were going to hold a talent show. Exelent I thought. So I praticed and practices. Then on the night i told them I was going to play crsytal planet. IT was very cool every one was impressed even my band teacher. And I got asked into two bands for lead guitarist. YESS!! Just thought Id tell you. Furthermore, i was near the end and man was I ever nervouse for the first hour. Right before I when on stage, my heart was beating a mile a minute. But after my performance every one congratualte me. And after my performance, my ego has shot through the roof. Just thought I like telling people about my acomplishements. Anyway crystal planet has made me a twice as good a guitar player than I once was. So Now I'm learning Pagnini's 5th caprise and I probably couldn't play it if it wasn't for crystal planet.
morning joe , hey do you add comments from a computer in your studio , kitchen , living room , or can you log in from any place in the world and give us the blue stuff?
JOE,
Could you please add "WHY" to your setlist. It is one of my Fav's which I have not yet had the opportunity to hear live, That and Morrocan Sunset.
Thanks

hello joe,
im just writing to say that my dad is a big fan of you. He has all your albumns and also G3-live on video. We live in England.
He wanted to know how long it will him to have guitar skills like you?
Mike Caren, ENGLAND.
Joe, you rule on the guitar! I'm sure whatever set list you come up with will kick total ass! See if you can fit Back To Shalla-Bal in it somewhere. I'll be there to see you in Philadelphia next month. Rock On!
Hi Joe. Greetings from a big fan from Bergen, Norway. The country of fjords, mounitans and Salmon. We are a bit slower up here then you down there, so im still waiting for your new CD with exitement. I know were kind of near Santaclaus, but do you have any plans for a concert in Skandinavia? That would be great. Lots of fans here and excelent guitar players. Have a nice day Joe
...hi all..it's monday, time for a fresh page, aaahhh...somebody asked about the
beginning of " memories"?, tha's a rockman! one of the old hand held units. john
cuniberti begged me not to use it for that part, but thought it sounded so
un-metal that it was cool , in a quirky sort of way...the tour's set list is
comin' along nicely thanks to all of your contributions...the set will
eventually feature music from every cd, and the band will feature: jeff
campitelli on drums, stuart hamm on bass and eric caudieux on rhythm guitar and
keyboards...and me too, on guitar!...i'm reading all your comments, thanks for
visiting the site...later, joe.
