Whojack - JS Clone 2 and I are section 201 aswell I think.

Colin Patullo - Man I listened to No Tomorrow. Such a cool rock tune. I love the vocals aswell. Fresh sounding. I don't have time to listen to the other 2 at the moment but I will tomorrow for sure.

I bet you're recording line in. Distortion sounds a little harsh but still not too too bad. There's a program out there called revalver. It simulates speakers in your tone when you master it.

finally got quick time 6. can't wait for tomorrow.

Ahh... finally, I'm back from my 2 week holiday to Eastern Europe. Yup, that would be Hungary, Austria, Poland, Czech, Germany, Russia & Netherlands. It was great fun. But the freaky thing is that the very instant I left each country, most of them got flooded!!! I'm sure you guys have heard about the weird weather in Europe on TV. Well, those are the places I visited!!

Hey Joe,

I'm a huge fan of yours. I notice you don't have any tour dates here in Australia. I know you've got a huge audience here in Australia that would love to see you in real life, not just watching your dvds and listening to your cds.

I hope one day you will tour here in Australia.

Joe your the best.

webmaster - Thanks once again for your continued work on the site. After I'm done here I'll email you privately about the newsletter.

ovation1 - I've already met Joe. I have a picture, pick, and some autographs from him. It would've been nice for me to win the set list contest, but it's cool to see some of these other people win stuff. That said, my next show will be my 6th...and if my backstage pass contest losing streak continues, well...I'll be pretty mad. ;-) LOL. Oh, by the way, thanks for sending me a copy of the newsletter.

sharon - I don't remember how long it took QT6 to download. I wasn't really paying attention to the computer...LOL. I'd say it took around 20-30 minutes with my 56k modem.

jblaze1 - I don't remember the message Joe posted about being pressured. Can you copy / paste it here?

decade - Joe usually makes an effort to visit with the fans after each show. But this tour is in bigger venues and it's harder for fans to get to the bus area. You should have much better luck on the Evening With... tour this fall.

Jaymz27 - As a last resort, I'd show up at the venue on the day of the concert. Maybe you can sell your tickets at face value to someone who plans on buying them at the door.

wingnut007 - RIght now, SBM is still my favorite Joe Satriani album. NOTE is pretty close, though... I've been listening to that one a lot recently.

fuse19 - Welcome to the site...

This is a test...

Here's a fake set list:

Bells Of Lal
Borg Sex
The Crush Of Love
Devil's Slide
The Forgotten
Love Thing
Memories
Rubina
Surfing With The Alien

Here's some other fake stuff:

Grumpy - Everyone makes me mad.

Ok, I wonder if all that stuff worked.

Update - These new additions are great, Jon... Thanks.

Question for everyone - Is it easier to read my comments the way I normally do them (a separate paragraph for each person), or do you think it would be better for me to start typing them with the line separating each person? Let me know...

And just FYI for everyone... You only have to use the [xx]s for the two new features. You don't need the [/xx] at the end.

PhyrDom: it will have to be virtual payment, I'm afraid ;).....unless you want some tax advice, that is!! Seriously, very grateful....but how do I fill all that space???!

jblaze1...thanks! Bringing sunshine too, I hope!!

JazzGuitar- You're right, it's a very good song and the tune is similar to Joe's. I liked it, thanks for sharing.

I hope all the other guys and girls who took A levels/ AS exams this year did well. I got A for Music and Maths, with D for Physics. On the three Physics papers I got A, A and unclassified.... stupid coursework. Neil Morgan?

QT6 requires the download of an an installer, and then the installer will download about 20-30 minutes worth of 56k bandwidth, so it'll take 40 minutes or so in all.

Has there been discussion about Joe saying about a classical side project? sounds exciting. Fits in with the Rock/something different alternation Joe does (out there NOTE, mainstreamish SWTA, FIABD vocals, Extremist rock, time machine 1 /red album something a bit different, CP rock, EOC electronica, SBM rock)

Good results Paul, you're not the only person who hates coursework. I was one mark off a B for Physics due to coursework letting me down. I got A for Maths, B for Further Maths and C for Physics.

Maybe this is not the right forum to ask but I'll do it anyway...

I have QT on my computer but it says it's the 4.1.2 version. Now, I have noticed before that there can be a difference between the version stated in the properties and what version it actually is, if you get my meaning. For example, RealPlayer on my computer is called version 6.0-something but it's still RealPlayer8, which is confusing.

Does anyone know if this is QT6 or not? If it's not, can I download the new version without uninstalling the old one first?

PhrygianDominant: No dude, haven't got a Japanese copy of "SBM" yet....It's hard enough for me to absorb what's on the original cd, and I'm going to wait and see if something happen's with that and the "SLICK" bonus....lol....I hope Jon see's this message ;-)

lol jblaze1, I wish I had one to sell!!....BTW, Clarky is the best teacher around....Aren't you glad he's here! (I sure am) :-) BTW, Tattoo....We must not mess with the guest az u know ;-) They come here for love, marriage, and hate.....Velcome....to Funtasy Island. (all the guest's look at each other) LMAO!!!

Welcome back The Local Person....Hope all is well....BTW, congrats on your tests....lol physics is challenging :-#

2 TON TESSIE: It's all good brother....No harm done....As Clarky stated....It is hard to decipher the written word compared to body language....

Jon, Thank's dude :-)....This site ROCKS of JOE!!

JS1: NOTE has a mystical feel to it......A total learning experience for the listener....It is perhaps the most unique instrumental guitar record ever made!!!!

LOL Austin, you have been Satchurated 5 times :-)....I think it's time for you to win backstage next time!! BTW, I think the lines seperate better, but not all the way to the bottom of a post....Look's like it may run-in with the frame of your post....

Interesting new's there dragonchild!! thx! I'd like to hear the result's!!

BTW all....Sept. Young Guitar issue has a one page story on VAI's Fire Strings performance (lol, wish I could read it all) with four small pics....(sorry, I don't own a scanner :( He was wearing the norm black pants and shirt and was playing EVO....They wrote something about not having drums (as in the rock band sense) and the "flowing" rhythm and chord progressions, and using the Zappa touch I think....That's what I got out of the article.....Wish there was more, but that was it....Maybe someday they will show footage of it, and I can get a copy.........

Interesting fact....This site has 36,650 members!! Let's all join forces and barrage our local radio stations with SATCH request's so that JOE will "live" on the airwaves 24hrs a day!!....Man, talk about creating World Peace ;-)

lol, and Peace all /\/\ike

YODA - checked out your site man, sounding good, says you started to play at 10, old are you now?and how much time have you spent on theory in relation to technique.I've been playing for a while now and up til recently bothered very little with the theory (much to my cost), got by in pub rock bands but played by ear. I've had a change of heart of late and decided to knuckle down any recommendations on tuition books/vids?

Hey y'all

2 Ton Tessie... cheers mate I have to agree with u on EOC----- not my cup of tea.

Nelly.... for patches for ur fx pedal just search the net. I found an entire wbsite dedicated to mine.

G'day Joe from your australian fans. I cant find any where to get your new cd strange beautiful music, can u send some down under???

JS Clone 1, I'm not one to be all poo-poo over telling my age. Hell, I'm happy I made it this far! lol! I'm 38. ha! I still have to shake my head when I say it. Wow! 38 already? Time flies when your having fun.

Narface: ahemm.....please don't visit Italy the next week, ok?....

Michelle: happy belated birthday!

Sharon: finally the sun and a little hot after all that rain! I think I'll leave my raincoat at home....

PhryDom:what is this "effing"? You need forged documents to leave England? I may help you!
