"YES WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS!"

"err I'm not!"

Hi Joe Saw your gig at Sheperds Bush Empire, London and it was kicking ! The latest Strange CD is brilliant !! Could you checkout my site as i have written a guitar track called "Chicago Sleeper" which was solely influenced by your playing ! The link is http://www.prawny-studios.co.uk/mp3/ls4-1.mp3

Many Thanks if you have time ! Please sign Guestbook, it would be an honour...........

Joe, your performance at the Tabernacle on Saturday was truly soul stirring and sublime. It was a truly wonderful and unforgettable evening. I was very pleasantly surprised to hear you play Midnight, it is one of my favorites of your compositions. I think I also heard a few strains from I Am Become Death when you were getting accustomed to the new guitar. The entire show was very special. Even when you are playing with a soar throat, a new guitar, and righteous indignation towards tobacco companies; you still da man.

Whojack, I just got a chance to check out eugenemirman. OMG! Girrrrl, I laughed so hard I cryed! The Who medley ~ I was sooo feelin' that one! lmao!! I must say, I do enjoy your twistedness! lol!

Hi Joe. Just wanted to drop in and say That I think it is rediculous that somebody would steal your guitar. What is this...the third time it has happened........

I'm sending you a resume. I will be your guitar security guard.

I will handle it like a baby, and I will give it a Brinks case. And get a chain and connect myself to it night, and day if thats what it takes to keep your guitars from getting stolen.

It will kinda be like your guitar has its own secret service. I will take a bullet, or maybe in the guitars case (a bottle or something some A-hole fan would throw at it on stage)

Anyways keep me in mind :-)

Can't wait until the Cleveland show. I will be there, in the front row Center, with the other guitardeds, sporting one of your shirts that I will definitely have to buy at the show.

HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH! HE'S A VERY NAUGHTY BOY! lol

hey!.........hithere Joe! i figgure yoretired of being called ¨youre my hero!¨ or ¨Im your gratest fan!¨ and stuff but thats your fault for being that good! hey.... y went to ee you in the G3 concert in Mexico and...wow....it was amazing....your last record is fantastic... i love oriental songs and i think some of your best material is i the extremist aswell... actually I play that song.. i have a rockinstrumentalkinda band. theres nothing better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and hard work is starting to pay off (as to my thechnique, still a little loppy on weep picking but getting the handg on tapping and legatto... you know...)

well gotta go! and .... as much as it bores you to hear it. you are great!!!!!!!

sorry about pearly by the way, i know how that feels.... just in case you feel like writing back ...... tiftm@yahoo.com is my mail. ID BE THRILLED.

On the subject of the "Bad Horsie" wah. I tried one once and was impressed with it, it has a very distinct sound. The one downside of the pedal for me, is the fact that it shuts off when your foot is removed. I like to take advantage of the many tones that my Vox wah has when I leave it in different positions. If there was a way to adjust the BH to do this, I would buy one!

Joe, I was going to drive to Milwaukee tonight to see your show, but it's an 8.5 hour drive one way and I would'nt make it in time. Maybe Minneapolis on your "evening with" tour? :) That's only a 4 hour drive for me....

I have had the privilege of meeting and spending about 5 minutes with Mr. Satriani, and I must say that I know why his music touches so many people from such diverse backgrounds. He is a simple, honest individual who obviously puts his heart and soul into his music for all of us to enjoy. That is a rare commodity, honesty. It's shameful that the world does not adhere to that principal. I hope that the actions of the idiot in Clearwater doesn't keep us from getting to see Joe live. I met him in Jacksonville the night before, and it was a treat.

Joe, the new stuff is awesome. I still listen to Surfin' all the time. Big fan. I hope to meet you again real soon.

anuj - thanks for the link for the first-hand review of Fire Strings. I really hope they recorded it.

JOE, IDEA's ON YOUR NEXT ALBUM!

Double CD

Disk 1 - All out ROCK ! Disk 2 - BLUE's !

Were in a ROCK stage of the music world but would also like to hear some blues!!!

Also, can you put those short intrumentals on there like you did on Flying in a Blue Dream"?

Hi everyone. I've been thinking. Joe doesn't use the guitar at all when he does the harmonic scream. That scream is actually the voice of his alien inner-self.

njbeast - Pick any Dream Theater album that you want to...you really can't go wrong. Images And Words is probably their best. If you want a nice cross-section of their career, get the 3 disc live set from last year. Or, if you want to hear a side of Dream Theater that sounds more like Joe Satriani, get the two albums from the Liquid Tension Experiment (I and II). LTE is made up of the guitarist, keyboard player, and drummer from DT, as well as another bass player.
