FalconIII - Welcome to the site...

Joe

I just wanted to tell you again that you a re true humble getleman, I just saw you again at 4th and B in San Diego.Its was great seeing you play as well as speaking to you its always a pleasure. All the guys in the band are realy great cool and freindly guys. And your manager is a great guy to.

Invigor - Uh, that won't happen.

there wasnt really much opportunity for joe to talk from what i saw.. it was insanity at the end when he actually went into the chatrooms.... bombarded by kiddies asking what he thought of brand x guitars or brand y amps.

I just wear what I want to wear and do what I want to do. Tsk tsk Austin you know you have to conform to some kind of group or you're not "cool" and you'll be unpopular...

I always used to get clothes that felt comfortable and didn't look awful, and these days I just wear t-shirt and shorts (making sure my knees aren't visible standing up and that my undies are above the shorts - vertically I mean) with !!!sandals!!! and everyone else can please themselves. I don't need to look like someone else. I prefer the opposite actually...

Davelas: he should use glow-in-the-dark ninja turtle stickers...they were the rage @10 years ago!!! Put Shredder on the super chorus, Leonardo on the flanger...

Boyd: that's no good, man. No good at all.

Smithers'son: I asked about it last week: the digitech pedal goes to his harmoniser, which he has on a rack.

Any blokes that wear make-up...hmmm...unless your name is Gene Simmonds...hmmm...not very manly...

Silmarien: *beep* job and the *beep* electricity *beeeep* not working *beeeeeeeeeep* 4 *beep* hours *beeeep* the *beeeeep* stupid *beeeeeeep* waitress *beeep* what a load of *beep* *beeeeeeep* *beeep*.

Have I got an interesting story:

Last night at a farewell BBQ for a friend, her sister, boyfriend and this other guy sang a song (real sentimental one), and for the last chorus, Matty quickly grabbed one of those clip-on capo jiggers and we had an "instant upkey" !!! It was hilarious!

It was like: "look over there!" #keychange#

Wow my posts always seem to go on a bit don't they...either that or I do 3 at a time...

oops. World Cup (the REAL one) starts tonight! It's at 11:15PM though, I think I'll go to bed. Watch the last few hours at the crack of dawn.

And now, for a few things that are completely different:

I'm thinking chocolate sounds like a plan right now...where the heck is my fridge?...snare drum sounded wicked this morning, don't know what I did to it...can't wait until holidays are over and semester starts and finishes and holidays start again...easy on the brandy snaps, too much of anything is too much...5 snags and a steak are not an appetiser...

Just some random thoughts there.

Regarding [JOE CHAT]

Stu not Boo: thanks for the help stu not boo but didnt work. Wasnt able to go in chat. ------------------------------- JOE Satriani: I was very disapointed in the chat service that you allowed or were forced into. I hope you can choose a better service company next time,if you have the choice that is.

I felt that www.guitar-guitar.com/ was incompitent in its handling of chat services.

Ill agree... guitar guitar dot com seemed a lot unorganized. Although how else could they really have done it? I think it'd be more.... whats the word... fulfilling for joe to do an arranged event for satch.com users... I think we'd get a lot more out of it without (sorry for being snobby) the kids who want to know why joe does or doesnt like x brand guitars and what not (as well as asking these quesitons several hundred times)

MB - dude, that fuckign sucks...that REALLY pisses me off that ppl can do that. Whatever, heh nothing really else to say there. They can't steal your memories of that night though...

Greg M - heh thanks man! Yah, that's me playing the ol' guitar on coe.com :) thanks for listening!!

Unpublicized, random Joe chats at this site would definitely be the way to go. Most people here are really cool and we would be a great "audience" for a chat.

Online chats are really cool because you can ask someone a question and they'll answer you in real time. But the coolness level goes down when the chats become so popular that questions have to be preselected. At that point, the chat is nothing more than an interview done by a journalist. But once you take into account the fact that journalists are smarter than the average internet user (no offense intended to anyone), you end up with an "interview" that's slightly below average.

What happened today could have been accomplished with the Guitar-Guitar people emailing Joe a list of 20 questions, and Joe emailing back answers an hour later. It would have been a lot less stressful for everyone involved. In fact, I would love to see an "fan interview" like that done every once in a while. Eric Johnson does one or two of these a year through his mailing list. It's really cool.

But we can't forget, one of the purposes of this chat was to promote Ibanez guitars through the GuitarTrader.com website. And that looks like it was a success.

I just emailed the chat transcript to everyone that asked for it. If anyone else wants it, either post here or email me privately.

Thanks...and goodnight, everyone... ;-)

Hah.. and going fast.. the chat INSIDE the backstage area... If you guys wanna know what goes on for a winner of a guitarguitarcom chat.. shoot me a mail.. ill send ya the portion where i guess i got to talk to joe

he didnt even notice i was in there for a few minutes :(

Hey everyone! First of all...congratulations to the winner...jstrat57... When do you get the guitar? :)

Crystal1: correction,the chat message will be posted on monday in guitar-guitar. But i wonder why ppl would want to go there. :>/
