Whojack ~ I think I have one marble left. With my one marble and your one marble.......sorry, forgot what I was saying. Now where'd that marble go? Damn!

On a slap~happy note, I just got done watching my sister on a local t.v. program. She's 42 and will be in her first body-building contest on Sept. 7th in Harrisburg. I see her all the time, but man, seeing her in her posing suit on t.v. with her body all tight, tan, and bulging out...it was great! She started working out when she was 38 and has only been training seriously for 10 months. I don't know how she does it. The diet is super strict and if she eats ONE thing off her diet, her trainer knows. Well, I'm 38 now. Guess I should start working out too...any minute now...

Wow Gang!

I'm back.... A brief break from the world of satriani.com... All moved in and free Internet for as long as I like thanks to a couple of friends that run a local internet provider company!

Man, Joe I can imagine how you must feel... it's almost the same feeling when you and your first girlfriend break up or something. It hits you the same way! Especially Musicians who take pride in their instruments.

It's like your favourite sports car or something and somebody comes along and takes a pair of keys to the side of it or something. Why they think that they can accomplish something so lame is beyond me...

Keep your eyes peeled on Ebay and your local Pawn Shops gang for anyone with a suspicious looking guitar that happens to be Chrome!

Joe, and all..

I was among those in exile under the Tabernacle, and I'd like to point out that underagers weren't the whole of the population down there. I myself am of age, I chose to go that route because I was at the show with my g/f, who is 20. It was her first DT and/or Satch experience, and it sucks that it had to be a bad one. I also ran into several other people who were 21+, there by choice, with loved ones and family members.

Sure, some may say that the overage crowd screwed themselves out of a great show (which, indeed, it was) by making that decision, but the fact that we were FORCED to make that decision is a great injustice.

And Joe, on behalf of the population of the Cotton Club that evening, thank you so much for taking the time to meet with the refugees. :) It was more appreciated than you can possibly know. The large amount of respect I held for you before that night was easily doubled when you shook my hand and thanked me for caring enough to show up.

Invigor - Build your own dummy...dress it in clothes and everything. Lay it on the railroad tracks. Then go a few hundred feet up the track and wait for the train. It'll start to slow down when it sees your dummy, allowing you to jump on. ;-)

hahaha, i'm sure i'd get charged for mischief or something, and get arrested and still not be able to make it..

Hey!!! I've completely forgotten what I was going to say!!! So how's this: Everyone keep playing Joe, and make your own music!!!

Mighty Pattullo Head: If you don't like their music at all, well then I wouldn't even waste my time, but if the only thing holding you back is the tuning, then I say rock theirassoff.

I wouldn't try to tune your JS-100 down to B, that would be too much trouble, adjusting the bridge and all. I'd suggest that you buy yer self a used(inexpensive) fixed bridge guitar,something you can beat the crap out of and not have to worry about it getting dinged up and some heavy gauge strings and thrash it into the ground.

Don't be scared to use different tunings dude, it may open up something in you you never knew was there. Don't you like big fat bowel shaking guitar like on "Mind Storm"?

If nothing else it could be a good learning experience and you'll be able to add something to your repertoire of guitar arsenal.

Ibanez makes a AX series guitar w/ a fixed tail piece, brand new, for $199 and there are some fairly inexpensive 7 string guitars out there too, some w/ a Floyd Rose if you just gotta have it.

what ever decision you make, it will be the right one.

Whojackafibby, is that a question?

Hi Everyone, I registered on here just to ask this question of any who might know.

I saw Joe last week and there's one thing I can't figure out since my viewpoint was a little further back than I would have liked. It looked like he was depressing the whammy bar with his left hand while picking an artificial harmonic on the high E with his right, and then pulling up on the bar. The resulting harmonic scream was really cool. So I'm wondering if this is actually what he was doing or is it a different technique entirely?

Anyone know? Joe?

2 TON TESSIE: I'm not shy when it comes to down tunning my guitar. It's just since my crappy Yamaha broke down and I bought the JS 100 I haven't tuned down much. It turns out this bands' stuff is in C which I'm quite familiar with, I prefer C# though. I've listened to their album, it's well produced, but I'm pretty sure I could figure the whole thing out in less than an hour. Pretty basic simple stuff. By the sounds of things I'd be the lead guitar player, not many solos though, hopefully I can change that!

Hi, I was wondering if someone could relay a message to Joe for me and possibly get back to me. I have a copy of Joes first ep which was released on Rubina Records back in 1984, I was wondering if he would be able to sign it for me when I attend his show at Jones Beach Amphitheatre in Long Island. If someone could get back to me about this, that would be great. Joe, YOU RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
