ah crappola! lotta posts...

Mikey Vai - Neil should run for Prime Minister or President or whatever!! I'd vote for him, lmao ;-)...

Michelle - well, to be completely truthful... them lederhosenbobbles looked cool at the first viewing of the movie, but after one try of them.... the pain coupled with the geeky looks made us make that deal. No oktoberinfestin' will I commit to wearin' them leather leders. lol...

Trutina - lol man... selling cds and cars together, now that's a pretty good sales plan! "Well the Volkswagon is nice but... wait! Is that a Bob Marley boxset I see?!"... ;-)

Phrydom clarky: thanks guys...that's what I thought, and I'm a dumb ass for spacing out and writing C11 instead of C9....d'oh!!

DCK: Here's a duestion for mike "Your band is called beer for dolphins, have you ever gotten a marine animal tanked before?"

hi satch i'm from brazil, a city caled caxias do sul i saw your show 4 years ago in porto alegre and it was amazing

OCPS: I do play a lot metal (Megadeth, Shadows fall....) quiet aggressively. But the issue was not while playing, but while tuning! I do have a Floyd rose setup on my guitar and that causes all the trouble. Can you give me some tips on how to tune a guitar with a FR tremolo setup? I know it has something to do with adjusting the intonation, but thats about it. Thanks.

Also, funky monkey is an awesome track. Peace.

Hello Joe I am from the planet cryttor and yes there is love in space. My girlfriend tonguesowet loves me very much and I love her so much also. We here on cryttor have listened to your new music and it rocks dude!! You are the man here. Up in flames- is a solid rocker. If I could fly- is sweet. (We here on cryttor can fly dude, I mean we got wings!!) Searching- is pure satch! Some of your new stuff has some funk to it, I like da-funk, makes me wanna dance. Keep up the good work dude. We here on cryttor have some guitarist but they suck man, their wings keep getting in the way.

Rock on

Believe it or not, I find Do The Stu and Stu Clones frequent "your post frequency is annoying" comments more annoying than JS JS, Joeman and Jazzy Boy's post frequency.

Alexandre C: I heard the Soulfly album Prophecy yesterday. It's good. Nice and heavy. You were right about "surprises" !!! Very cool. Except I didn't like one of the last ones. Too far removed from the rest of the CD I thought.

Is there Is There Love In Space? in Australia? NO.

But I finally saw G3 CDs and DVD yesterday. I have no money. (Well I do have a little bit, but I need a new gearbox first.)

Oh good, a drummer impressed. That's a good sign.

I skipped a couple of pages, but I have to say I'm deeply disappointed in the people who flamed that guy from Argentina who (as far as I've seen) is the only person to give a bad review for the new album. Especially the guy who Jazzy Boy went off at for the "murder of the English language" comment. So what if he doesn't like it? He will after a few listens. I didn't like Crystal Planet to start with, but I love it now. Also, I regard the US English on TV to be a "murder of the English language" but I don't complain every time someone uses it in front of me.

Greetings all,

so friggn hard to keep up lol, with all this mail....hehe

Been doing a little French this week. Okay, so I've been listening to a song. "Encore Une Fois" by Sash!

"Mesdames, Messieurs, le disc-jockey Sash! est de retour."

Oonce oonce oonce oonce oonce oonce etc

Arse. I clicked "Post Message" instead of "Post this message" again.

JS JS: hey man, you don't need to tell that to me

Watched the G3 webcast thing FINALLY (damn Quicktime - I had to use an iMac) and what can I say? I really want that DVD now! Also, good to hear The Extremist played as heavy as it was. Best version I've ever heard. (Out of 3 that is...)

My SonyMusicStore ITLIS? still isn't here!!! Argh.

I went to Tower Records on Sunset today, though, so I do have the album. It's very good. :-)

I'll respond to other people's comments about the album as I see them, but I'll wait until this weekend to do my review because I have a busy rest of the week ahead of me...Satch on Thursday, They Might Be Giants on Friday, AND (if I can pull it off) Dishwalla with a 55-piece orchestra on Saturday. I also have to start Round 4 of the JS Song Tournament too, haha. Oh, and there's also that whole college thing... ;-)

sooraj sr - I'm sure Joe will make it back to India sooner or later.

That's heresy!!! :-( LOL.

I've been past the "dang it, I know she doesn't like me" stage for a while. I'm pretty sure she doesn't want anything serious with me. I was just annoyed / bothered that she tried to have a conversation with me for a few minutes and ended up bailing, when she could have just said "hi" and gone on with her day. Oh well...

7 pages behind in one day...sheesh!

Austin, my son picked N.I.B. to be his first song to learn on the bass :)

IceZer - any satch song LOL... i actually had SOME luck with "friends"...its one of joe's easiest songs im sure... i think his EASIEST is probably "home" from the red album, if i could play by ear id have it... i can sorta, i gotta hear a note then play around till i hear it again on the guitar but its just too tedious for me, i have no patience.

SKY- maybe cause peavey decided to make joe an amp the way he wanted one? i dunno....plus artist endorsements can be pretty lucrative, not to say joe's just trying to make money off the deal...but joe deserves any amount of money he gets for the music he has given us.

Heck, I must be a monkey.

bluesbloke: Actually, he did say what he didn't like. He said the melodies were too simple, the song compositions were disappointing to him because of the the blues basics foundation. I think the reference to lack of talent, wasn't about Joe's abilities as a player, just the simplicity of the song structures. Maybe for him the more complicated a song is, the better. Not for me, but it's all about opinions anyway. Everyone is entitled to one. On to more relevant matters, I saw you mention scalloped fretboards. Have you or do you play one? I believe they require too light a touch for me to be worth a shit with them. I'd have everything sounding sharp lol.

jazzy boy: I started out playing 11s because I knew that SRV played 13s and I wanted to move my way up so I could be cool like him lol. Then I decided to try a set of EVH Ernie Ball Slinkys (some sort of hybrid, can't remember what all gauges but 1st string was a 9, quit making them when he went to Peavey for guitars) because I wanted to be cool like him lol. At first, I was breaking them left and right, because I was used to the much heavier gauge strings. After about five sets, I became very adjusted to them and loved them very much. That's right about when they quit making them lol. So now I play the pink pack super slinkys because every guitar store in the world stocks them. I have them on every electric I own so that I don't have to stock fifteen different sets of strings. I don't remember the last time I broke one, it's been a very long time. Almost all of my guitars have fixed bridges.

Mr. Nick: That pic of Tokyo is awesome.

Zenfish: Hope you get your keyboard lined out. If all else fails, break it over your knee, you'll feel better, believe me, I've done it lol.

962: The only thing I remember from that movie is, "What are you doing, Dave?" I had a guy named Dave that used to work for me and whenever he'd mess up, I'd do my best Hal impersonation on him. He had never seen the movie and probably still thinks I'm insane lol.

PhryDom: Lost your whammy pedal? What are you doing, Dave? lol

death cube K: It's not really a question for him, but you can tell him that the last time I ate shrooms and listened to Nonkertompf it scared the shit out of me lol.

Delfino Pie: Let your fear become a fuel to empower you to overcome and make a better life for yourself.

Austin: Oh, sure, you get a gold star lol.

Clarky: Man, I wish I had your patience. Hats off to you man.

mick87: Anything to make the deal happen lol.

Is there anyone else in US besides myself that is getting ready to write a big, stupid check on the 15th? I keep telling Miranda that if we start working on having a baby right now, there's a small chance she'll have it at the end of December and we can get the extra deduction for the whole year. She says that's not a very good reason to want to have children. I say bring on twins lol.
