I have been listening to SBM a lot today. It seems to be getting more criticism than any Joe album has had before. I must say, I love about half of the tunes. Yea, its not the most progressive album ever, especially when compared to the Satch 'classics' but I enjoy it anyway. Its got some great wee bits in there. And I like Belly Dancer, Starry night, Chords of Life, Mountain Song, What breaks a Heart, The Journey, Hill Groove.

I am also missing being able to easily read the posts. I just can't be bothered going to page after page. I only click to see if Joe has posted and thats about it. I hope Jon can do something to make it asier to view everyone's posts. I can't even find my own post!

Harpo2002 - JS and DT will each play 90 minute sets.

The Forgotten Part 2 - I think EOC received MUCH MORE criticism than this album is getting. :-)

gruskada - I think the opening to Raspberry Jam Delta V would make a good cell phone ring, if you could figure it out.

joes new cd is growing on me big time

the first time i pulled it out it wasn't what i expected or wanted i guess i should say

now that i have had a couple of days with it im cool its like the first time i stuck ultra zone in the cd player and that lady starts chanting im like what the **** is that lolol

now i love it ive spent the last few years getting all these alternate and sweeping stricks down then i get a new satch cd and realise a: my hammer on/legato stuff is a little rusty hahahhahah and B: why i started playing guitar in the first place

i don't know why u guys aint talking about the traveller that lonely lamenting bitter sweet melody has me humming it all day at work

and kws eat your heart out at starry night

satch bro you have a pretty good fan base here in kentucky rupp arena is a viable venue for one such as yourself so em cough *hint hint* cough

lol

Shell, my review consists of either "it sucks, or I love it". lol! Not to technical if you ask me :) BUT there is definitely Borgage in that song!

ProgX is in the house! :)

I forgot to mention ~ when I bought SBM, I was so excited to have it that I started opening it while I was driving. I don't even have a cd player in my car! I just wanted to see what the insert & the cd looked like. I ripped off the plastic wrap and threw it at my daughter as she called me names like psycho woman, then peeled the sticker part with the words on it off the top of the cd. Amazingly, it all came off in one piece (it never does), so I stuck it to the top of my windshield. lol! Now every time I get in my car I think " I'm so retarded, it's still there!". I have no idea when I'll peel it off? So now I drive around with this sticker on my window that says Joe Satriani ~ Strange Beautiful Music ~ and I have a sh*t eatin' grin on my face to go with it.

HA! To be a Satch fan....

hehehe michelle ..

my story is something similar the 26 on my first break at work (12:30) i took that fifteen minutes to run next door and pick it up at the cd shop i brought it into work and popped into the computer and was jamming it out on my headphones which i picked up for that purpose (a serious breach of the conduct handbook)

whats the meaning of all this that little sticker thing came off in one piece for me too which it never does and i stuck it on my monitor so now every time i see it im like a what a moron i am

hehehe, that's great Michelle... Mine came off in one piece also!!!! Too bad I wasn't inventive like you and put it one something like my car windshield:)

My Favs. (in order of track listing) Oriental Melody, Belly Dancer, Starry Night, Chords of Life, Mind Storm, Sleep Walk, New Last Jam, Mountain Song, What Breaks a Heart, Seven String, Hill Groove, The Journey, The Traveler, You Saved My Life. Did I miss one? ;-)

EEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just browsing the posts made since I was here last time. So far I've got through 12 pages. 26 to go yeah! This is stupid.

HAS ANYONE ELSE SEEN THE MOVIE "Let's Get Skase"? IT'S AN ABSOLUTE CRACK-UP.

Thanks LOAF....just an opinion. sorry to have offended you.

gruskada....zingy.com is a ring site, i don't know if they have joe or not. they should hook up. i think ras. jam would be cool (as mentioned earlier)

Borg sex would be a good monopoly song.

Johnny Tit, Do2222, Cool#9.....that's what im talkin about. Belly Dancer, Belly Dancer, Belly Dancer, Belly Dancer. Song o da century. Mind Storm as well. Although it's hard to tell which songs would be considered classic joe (like summer song, Love Thing, Until we say goodbye, etc.)

It is stu- good call. it's what i do.

Guitar art- har har. very funny. i like your thinkin.

yep yep yep so I got through 38 pages and all for what? I have a few memories to look back on now.

okay so i forgot that the meta stuff requires the square bracket things and not the diples as in html whoops!

Crushing Day!!! Damn I wish I could be at a concert to see/hear that!!!

When are we going to get a "Talk To Austin" site? Stuff this Joe business. Who is he anyway? Joe who? and why do they keep booing Stu Hamm? He is a great bass player (heh heh heh - the bait is set)

That guy who was complaining before stop whingeing although the "not like i said the yngwie word" was pretty funny.

Thankyou Nick for stopping the bold caps, it really does come across as shouting.

Any ideas when SBM comes out in Australia? Could be ages. I'll check out every week or two.

PS Deutchland for World Cup!!! DEUTCHLAND DEUTCHLAND DEUTCHLAND!!! OI OI OI!!!

Here we are...part three:

Starry Night - I wasn't too sure about this one when I first heard it. Now that I've listened to the rest of the album, though, I think it's a great choice for a single. I like the bit from 1:44-2:16...it reminds me of friends from the LISF show that I attended. It appears again from 2:39-2:47. I love Joe's tone on this song...nice and bluesy. There are some cool fills in here as well, but I won't list them all. :-)
