slide1995 - There's not a merchandise section on this site...sorry. Buy stuff at the shows. :-)
Mr Nick - Whether or not you agree with it, typing in BIG BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS is viewed as shouting on the internet. It's been that way forever...you can't change it. Go with the flow...it'll make things a lot easier.
...Austin...

PhrygDom- I agree with you dude.... sound like yourself. Be yourself. Play like an individual.. trying to learn someone elses music can be very useful from a learning point of view... trying to sound exactly like someone else is completely pointless.............

WEBMASTER the atlanta show presale is tommorrow!!! tickets go on sale to the gen public Friday so if you think Atlantas presale is not till this weekend and have no clue as to what the password is in atl i guess you are useless!! I will just try strange and hope it works...If it dont i will curse you all thursday during the presale untill i get my tickets Fri....I cant even confirm its a gen admission show which would make presale sortta useless...also your new site is SLOW...did you finally take out the merchandise section?..that never sold anything for the past 2 years? You never did print anymore pictures from last years g3 shows..even though plenty of fans sent in some....I sent you pictures of the band from front row for the Atlanta g3 show but you decided to keep a couple of pictures of the backstage pass winners ugly face for the atl pictures...plain laziness....prove to me you have changed your ways and get me and all Joe's Atlanta fans the presale info before it happens....if not prepare to be flamed some more.

hey wiser, here's some quick replies to your not-so-kindly posed questions.
presale tickets - i have been working with joe's tour agency to try and get presale info out to everyone and it's been problematic at best. they are having troubles getting the information from the ticketing sites and you can rest assured i'm doing everything i can to get whatever info i get passed on to everyone as soon as i get it. i understand the frustration that you can experience when trying to get tickets and encourage you to let the ticketing sites know of your experience since that's where the bottleneck appears to be.
listening party - i listened to a few full loops of the entire album before they went up and heard all songs. i assume apple also did their own tests as well. if a problem has developed, please email details to webmaster@satriani.com and i will pass them on to apple/akamai, who will need to fix them.
site speed - i'm aware of a slowness issue if you are reading all existing messages (ie, having used the 'Mark this message as read') and am planning on optimizing that situation shortly. any other problems with speed you may be seeing is likely related to your internet connection with the server. there is a lot of available bandwidth and cpu on my end.
photos - i do have a lot of photos in my email from past shows to add and they will be added. that sort of work got sidetracked in preparation for all of the work in the studio and then for release of the new album and new site. it's all a question of limited time and making priorities :}
btw - joe has succesfully used the automation system i set up for him and jeff (who'll both have cameras on tour) so, time permitting, expect to see some photos from them as the tour progresses!

Webmaster, I appreciate the quick reply....excuse my cranky disposition but when it comes to missing out on up close tickets to Joes show i get that way. First the ticketing company is ticketmaster who has a virtual monopoly in Ga. hence the huge service fees....they have the sale dates listed , they also have a 4 ticket limit for the "get access" presale happening tommorrow..my question is who is sponsering the presale?...they would have info but i can get no clue to who the sponser of get access presale is...pretty sad if your in contact with joes production company and they have no viable info....like i said I will just try the ticketmaster site with the password of "strange" unless you can find another to post for us....I am also going to contact the venues box office to see if its a gen admission show as G3 was in which case I got upset for nothing........as far as the listening party goes ..i was mistaken I caught the same 3 songs after tuning out to look for presale info and assumed that was the entire loop..my bad....as far as the pictures go I understand not having much time to scan and mess with pics but we are talking about a year since you promised to update the pics..so take a rainy weekend and post some new pics that all the fans sent in right after the show. I set the last post perimeter to avoid the major lag but its still slower than old board...hope your fixes take care of that...it does look slicker...I got cable and fly through most pages so thats not the problem....one good thing came out of my frantic search for presale info ... i found other satch sites that offer a lot of info not found here like artistdirect.com so i guess i am now a more informed fan......just wish I knew i could get tickets tommorrow when they go onsale :(

Joe! New album is great! "MIndstorm" question: To my ears
it sounds like intro is on a Marshall amp and when the seven
string enters its a Mesa Rectifier?? I love the tightness of
the gain on that intro! Interesting to hear you playing more
songs with a Stratocaster as well! See you in Dallas!
Mark
P.S. For the fourth time (I ask before each tour) will you please play "MEMORIES"!!!! thanks

wiser1 - Calm down. Jon is doing all that he can. He's fixed a lot of problems that other people have had with the site because we ask nicely. If you acted the same way you're acting now when you sent him the G3 pictures, it's no surprise to me that he didn't put them up. There's no need to get so upset, ok?
webmaster - You continue to do a great job with the site. I already have my tickets (8/11) but it's cool to see that you're working on the presale info for everyone else.
...Austin...

Hey Jon, don't sweat the small stuff. I have been listening to the party all day as time has permitted and have had no problems other than (peak) heavy net traffic. I can't seem to get enough of this CD. It is usually that way whenever I get new Joe. I get like a kid in a candy store when he is told to have at it. Keep up the good work. J_girl, I'll see you at Ruth Eckerd in August.
Ciao!!!!

Hi everyone. I'm sorry for putting this in a post that's separate from my other comments, but this a completely different topic. I hope everyone understands. I finally got around to typing up my thoughts about Strange Beautiful Music. The entire thing would make one HUGE post. And since I'd rather not see whether or not there is a post length restriction here on Talk To Joe (LOL), I thought I would break up the review into pieces and post one each day. That way there will be more time for people to read everything. Maybe we can get some good SBM discussions going. So here is the first little bit about my experience buying the record as well as what I think about the packaging. I'll go through the album song by song, posting my thoughts about one song each night at around midnight Pacific Time. I'll also include the track times of the parts that I think are really cool. It'd be nice if other people here could do the same thing, in response to my posts. So I'll start with Oriental Melody later tonight...and I guess I'll finish up in about two weeks. But right now, here's some basic stuff...
It took me forever to find Strange Beautiful Music. I looked at a local music store, as well as Target...then I called Circuit City and Best Buy. None of these places had it... I called Tower Records next...they had it so that's where I bought it. Even though it took forever to find it, it was DEFINITELY worth the hours of visiting other stores. It kinda sucks though...next time I think I'm just going to buy it online. That way I won't have to deal with driving all over town to find a copy.
Case / Artwork / Etc. - I think it's really cool. I love the color scheme. Sometimes I think it would've been better if the inside was full of bright colors (blue, green, yellow, red, etc.) to make up for the black / white / gray outside. Although with it the way it is now, everything is the same in the packaging and you have to listen to the music to find (hear) the different colors. It's kinda neat if you think of it that way.
...Austin...

Austin Lewis: I pre-ordered mine on Amazon, and got it on Monday. Even with the shipping it still came out cheaper than buying at a Tower or Sam Goody. Get a Loaf: You live in San Leandro? I'm a deputy sheriff with Alameda County and was just assigned to work patrol in San Leandro (Eden Township Station). Small world. Later ya'll
