yamboy, the review page is messed up. It comes up 3X as wide as my screen.

Just got the new album in the mail today-ordered it from Amazon.com. Love the Sleepwalk cover! My mom does too. I played it for her and she was just crazy about it. I've been getting into Surf music and such for the past year or there abouts and want to ask about New Last Jam. I hope I got that title right :-) At any rate, that song has a riff in it that reminds me a lot of Secret Agent Man. Was that intentional or just a thing that happened? Just the first few notes of the riff are very Secret Agent Man like. I am familiar with it as it is the latest Surf tune that I am learning to play :-) Will you be doing any Surf or Funk covers or origional works in that style? Rock on man, your music is beautiful. Though, I have to say what I get out of Summer Song is different than that crash derby video on your The Satch Tapes tape. It is bubbling in my mind and will become a painting.

I do not know how to express how your music has touched and inspired me. I think others on this page can understand, though they might not be able to express it in words either. You are the first guitarist whos music actually made me WANT to practice. I've enjoyed other people's playing and tried my hand at learning the guitar but no one has made me enjoy the process of learning or made me want to create music on the guitar like you. You are truly talented and I hope that you have much success and get as much enjoyment from your music as you give. Cheers! :-))

I have to say again, what an unbelievable album EOC is.

The melodies... words cannot describe. Really.

Another little thing I noticed which I thought was kind of eerie: Listen to near the end of Clouds Race Across the Sky where the guitar cuts out and it's just bass and techno drums. Do you hear a voice saying "DA-KA" ?

JS Clone 1: One of my fav songs to jam along with...

Listening now........................ Here it comes....

Sorry Bud.... Didn't hear a thing....

New computer has arrived and it is in use...woohoo. A nice, big, 17 inch flat panel monitor, which kicks serious butt. Man, I read all the reviews from last night's Bulgaria show to kick off the Strange Beautiful Tour, and it must have been a night to remember, especially for the backstage pass winners! Congratulations to my friends from the Balkans who were the lucky winners. The setlist Pakihaki posted sounds awesome, unfortunately, that gets cut almost in half for the American leg of the tour.

JBlaze, you've never seen Joe live before? Man o' shit are you in for a treat!! Do you have any of Joe's videos/dvd's? He's AMAZING to watch in person! Totally amazing!

My husband and I just seen DT for the first time in March and we were blown away. Joe & the band, PLUS DT....oh lawd, hep me restrain mah-seff!! The best of the best! Good luck on the passes!

Andy of UK, ZZ's song is soooo sweet. I wish it would go on longer, but I'll take it the way it is. A Piece of Liquid (love that title) is just a smooth song with a cool beat. A GREAT segway for Psycho Monkey too.

By the by, it's 88 degrees here on my porch thermometer that's been in the shade all day, and it's 11:20 at night! PA is HOT!!!

michelle - I've never seen Joe in person either, so I'm definately looking forward to the September show in Pittsburgh...however, I have watched the LISF DVD (I own it) and I already look forward to an awesome show.

Michelle...you think it's hot up there in PA, try living downstream here in Baltimore, where we have the pleasure of living just a little closer to the equator. I just walked out to the Progmobile (my car...cute, huh?) to get something out of it, and you could fry eggs on the sidewalk right now. Breathing outside is another chore I won't even address.

BTW, I didn't see you on the show attendance lists for the PA or NY shows, which one are you going to? I will be slinging all manner of rubber guitar up at the NY show this year. Quite ironically, I won't be attending the Baltimore show at all. Pier 6 Concert Pavilion is about a fifteen minute drive down the street for me, BUT...

#1: I will be working that night.

#2: New York is my second home and where I left my heart and I sure could use an excuse to drive back up there.

#3: I have been to Pier 6 for a couple of shows, and the venue blows goats. I don't want to talk about it. Such is life...

I was just browsing on the E.T. site tonight before stopping in to have my two cents worth of say. Of all the possible sites...hmmm....

death cube k - It doesn't seem like 76 times...LOL. I'm going on vacation in a few weeks, so I'm sure someone will jump ahead of me. Who else here has a lot of posts?

Vetteguy43 - The guitars with two necks are called, oddly enough, "double-neck guitars". :-)

JS Clone 1 - I listened and didn't hear it. Can you tell me what time it appears?

Hey Gang... I just finished recording a little melody.... It's a bit of a tribute to Eddie... once you hear it, you'll know why (at least, I hope so) ... it's my favourite Van Halen tone that he produces...

give it a try...entitled "Ode To Edward"... http://barriepoole.iuma.com Oh and feel free to download any of my other tunes... please.

Hope I don't disappoint you diehard shredders out there...

Here's part 7...

New Last Jam - This is another favorite. It's very catchy...I love the drumming. I don't really know what else to say about it, other than I think it's classic Satch. The whole thing rocks...there aren't any low points in this song. The solo is unbelievable, but my favorite part of the song is actually the part leading up to it, from 1:20-1:43.

Any comments?

for those who don't read the news, i've just finished making modifications to the T2J section here so it will load quicker than before. it's somewhat expotential depending on how many pages you have to read. ie, if you go to read ALL messages, it will be a *lot* faster now.

http://www.totalguitar.co.uk is doing the greatest guitarist ever issue. They are asking people to email them or postcard them about their 5 favs and why #1 is #1. Well, there is only one guitarist right? Write in about Satch and get him in the magazine as #1. By July 12th.
