I agree on the woodstock Jam song.

That is the only song in Joes mega collection that I can't stand.

songs of the day for me

OK everybody, first I wouldn't say "worst Satch Song". I mean wtf is up with that!? Least favorite has more respect or least listened to. SO SHOW SOME RESPECT!!! My least fave is Woodstock Jam. But that really isn't a song, is it? it goes over and over again with like the same riffs. And the legnth is just way too long lol. But besides that I love all the other music. Oh, who ever said that Cry'in sucks, in my opinion thats one of his best emotional songs, along with Rubina, Love Thing, AWYAWM, etc. Those are among my favorite Satch songs. To say that any Satch song really sucks or blows shows complete disrespect for Joe and his unique talent.

Beezer- I'm planning on getting pickups likes those someday. so u finally got ur pickups, cool. What ones did u have before?

Last Day of 2003!! Happy New Years Everybody!!!!

Tastey- lol!!!

Well,another year of exitment as well as joy has past in a blink of an eye... To cherish youre loved one's is the important thing of all,for we have little time here and by doing so we will find oureselfs in a field of gold.For to love and be loved back means to be richest of them all.

Best wishes to all of you who have contributed to this comunity as well as the Satch himself! I hope this 2004 year will even more cooler then the last!!!

I totally agree with you Michelle about the phone call to Trutina (Bil McKim)... Does anyone know his phone number? anyone? and regarding the long distance charge. In Canada I know it doesn't cost any more if you were calling from the next city or to Florida, the cost would be the same... even better if you have a long distance plan in place on your phone bill, it doesn't cost anything if you pay for a service such as that...

Well in Canada anyway... home of SARS, MAD COWS, WEST NILE, Lousey National Security...

nick - I understand... if you need something now then I guess you'd better go for it... the AW16G is around the same size as the MD8.. I guess around a few inches wider.. so it's small.. it's portable and looks to me to be more robust than the MD4 was... although I'll not through it around to find out.. lol

you'll get to see it soon enough when you and Yoda come to my place...

The Raft - I recorded the clean guitar part [in the soft bit in the middle] on Sloth..... sounds very lovely sloth is panned slightly to the right, a soft accoustic piano panned a little to the left.. the result is that they are not competing for the same space so that you can hear both parts nice and clearly.. the electric guitars are not yet down, but I did a rough mix.. all this cleaning out the noise, messing with stereo positioning.. it sounds so much better than the first time I recorded it.. I feel like a proud dad with a new kid... the next visit to the lab will see the start of all the loud stuff... riffs on Avarice.. riffs on Envy.. riffs on Pride... shredz of Wrath.... basically.. all the fun stuff...

I trust him too... I only brought the whole thing up for arguement sake...

Hmmm...I like Woodstock Jam whenever I hear it. I only listen to it when I play the TM1 disc as a whole, though.

satch72 - Thanks for the info. If the list of possible European G3 dates is similar to an old YM tour, that's probably a good thing (meaning that they're probably likely dates).

It's interesting that you don't like either Cryin' or New Blues. How long have you been a Satch fan? I liked Cryin' from the very beginning...the emotion I heard in the song was one of the things that drew me to Joe's music. New Blues is one of my least-favorite songs on The Extremist, but I can still get into it every now and then.

Stu is getting a new band together. You'll hear from him in 2004.

I know you weren't taking things this far with what you said, but I thought I'd point this out anyway.

Phew... back home... did I miss anything? Over 900 posts, don't think I have time to go through those. Anyway Happy New Year everybody!!

Ovation - Hey man, how was your Christmas? I actually bought an Ovation during my trip to Toronto, lol... she's a fine ax, it's blue too!! Anyways, happy new year!

Edit: Michelle - During the long car trip I just came from, I was pondering various things... when I was going through Quebec I came up with an odd one. If the name Michael in French is Michel (pronounced Michelle), does that mean when you go into either Quebec or France they think you're a dude at first? Hmm.... of course I had just eaten a huge pack of Twizzlers and was listening to some electronica jazz at the time, but it makes you wonder what's going on....lol... Anyway, I hope your Christmas went well as well, and a happy new year too!

Anybody have The Deepest End by Gov't Mule?

Madeh I loved Cryin the first time I heard it. New Blues was fun as well, though it wasn't the greatest song on that album. It's hard to pick which song would be my least favorite, there are many Satch songs that I simply could not get into - I'm not saying they were bad, just that I couldn't relate to them that well. Into the Light was one of those songs for me, sounds great, mixed great, always skipped it on the CD. Anyway hope you all have a great New Year!

Happy new Year everybody!!

Hi Joe,

Michelle, here is a UK news link about Ozzy.
