DelfinoPie- Boston, Massachusetts is nice. I've been there many times. Although it's too expensive to live in the city, you could consider New Hampshire which is a stones throw from Boston. I believe they also have the lowest taxes in the Union. It would be unatural for the Bruins to beat the Canadians...check the history stats. Consequently, JOE will be in Boston next Saturday afternoon.

I'm going out kayaking for hawks tomorrow so that I can record their screech for some music inspiration. I wonder if bringing a small dog along is a bad idea...hmmmm.

Mikey Vai: Yeah, I'm bound to get myself into trouble with that one sooner or later lol.

Ethn / death cube K: I believe PhryDom was referring to the Meganinja.

SupaaDave: Vampire Tea Bags? LMFAO! The women in here are gonna kill us lol. Sorry ladies.

GODSGUNSGUITARS: Holy shit that's funny as hell! That should be the warning label that says "Attention Males" on that product. We might pay attention to something like that lol.

962: When in the future, do we make the great leap forward, and everyone on Earth gets along and has common goals like on Star Trek? That's what I'm waiting for. I'm ready to man the bridge lol.

crushingday62: Will do. Expect to have news relatively soon, say next few weeks.

PhryDom: I'm gonna be sending you an email within the next week or so with some ideas. Just a heads up to look for it. Gotta find time to organize my thoughts first.

The Bob & Noppa: Actually, Japan doesn't really get hooked up. They get fucked on their prices over there. They pay roughly double for the Japanese release of an album compared to what we pay here for our release. It's actually cheaper for them to buy our versions as an import, so to make it a little more worth the extra money, the record companies throw in bonus tracks.

JS JS: You mean to tell me you don't understand the difference between someone dissing you for liking Yngwie's music and someone being offended when you say being gay is a sin and that it's the gay person's choice to be gay, not something they're born with? Two extremely different arguments there. To argue over a personal preference pertaining to art is one thing. To argue over a subject so sensitive as this with huge sociological impacts worldwide is quite another.

YaYoGakk: Yeah, I always wondered about that too. What's the story on hanging out at 5150, Joe?

Alexandre: That's good news on the music progress. These thing take time, but it's worth it. And that's strange on Miranda being a popular name over there. It's kinda rare here. No wonder I love her so much. Her name is popular amongst the nicest people on Earth I've ever had the priviledge of speaking with.

Maire: That is so very wrong for someone to have to go thru that. I hope everything works out for him. To be raised to hate yourself is horrible.

marimariSRV: I've been waiting patiently for someone to bring up Sodom and Gomorrah so that I could pounce all over it, but you followed it up with good points about the New Testament. I'll just leave it at this: The inhabitants of those cities were thieves, rapists and murderers.

Artanis I: Hey, I'm the one that busts out the relevant (or sometimes irrelevant, depending on my mood) quotes around here lol.

PhryDom: Maybe your whammy was possessed and is running around killing innocent politicians. Yeah, I know, it's a farfetched idea. There aren't any innocent politicians. It's too late for me to still be up.

The Official Quote Of The Day: "Religion is the best armor a man can have, but it is the worst cloak." Bunyan

Edit: New quote. The first one just doesn't do anything for me. "An atheist is but a mad ridiculous derider of piety; but a hypocrite makes a sober jest of God and religion; he finds it easier to be upon his knees than to rise to a good action." Pope

I'll post a review later...all I can say right now is WOW!

Phry-Hehe, honest enough mistake.I guess the offical Ninja Clan would be Myself, Graham, Megaboyd, Anuj, and Death Cube K.Austin is a Ninja twice removed. :D

Strat101, yeah quite a few of us are going to Bournemouth. I dunno what you could do for a t-shirt design.....maybe t2j for G3! or something?!?

You know guys, we should figure out a place to meet or somethin, in the lobby!

Who decided it would bea good idea to pick up a dry leaf, crumble it up into another dry leaf, light it and smoke it? Who was the first to discover that arsenic is bad for you?

trutina and MikeyVai: How much do you have to pay for a new album (cd) in dollars on average in USA and in Japan (Mikey you are from Japan, right?)? Everything is expensive here in Finland, so nowadays we have to pay approximately 27,50 - 29 $.

Some 5 years ago I couldn't find anywhere else (Europe/USA) these two jewels which I really wanted (Alcatrazz: "Disturbing the peace" (with S Vai and G Bonnet -> excellent) and The Dregs: "Industry standard" (Morse's old band)), but the guy from the store checked it out and he told me he could order them both from Japan. About the prize he couldn't tell me much 'cause it depends on many different things (currency, shipping routes etc), he only said that it can be even twice the price and he turned away (thought I wouldn't pay that much). I told him I'll take 'em no matter what the fuck they cost, just make the order! The cds came in one week (I was lucky they had a shipment just then) and the price/cd was nothing more than the normal price at that time here (~23,90 $)...shipping included!!!

Anybody heard of Havana Black? I guess in USA many of you have. These Finns could have become great legends with mr Alan Niven as their manager late 80's early 90's. At that time Niven was considered the hottest manager on the market due to his success with Guns N' Roses. Other bands that belonged to his management where Great White and MSG). As you can read from the "Legend"-section on that tribute website things just didn't go like they could have -> that's too bad 'cause these guys really had the potential.

Edit: on the "Grooveland"-section you can download some soundclips (go for "Lonewolf").

Noppa sorry about that I just wasn't paying attention because the only parts of your message I had read were the ones adressed to me, or about the extra songs on cd's. Yea we have our fair share of short skirts here...=-) Holy crap! how do you pronounce your name!? I got the first one, Kimmo(right?), but holy smokes on your surname! And where you live? I live in simple stuff like derby and troy lol.

Michelle - Thanks! The show totally rocked... I played my best of the three shows last night. And I made sure to fit in some Joe (Love Thing and AWMAWY) into the scene changed! ;-)... what a blast... must have been the Guinness shirt, lol.

Hey Everybody,

I Hope you all can deal with my first, little posting and a question that might be asked a thousand times befor.

I'm quite sad that there's no G3 date for Germany. I'd really like to know weather there is a reason for not comming to Germany but almost evey country around.

....Hi Guys and Gals.... :-) Real quick....

marimariSRV: lol, Guitar Wars is the name of the show that had Paul Gilbert, Nuno Bettencourt, Steve Hackett, John Paul Jones, Roger King on keyboards, Pat Mastelotto on drums, Mike Szuter on bass, and Gary Cherone on vox.... It is INCREDIBLE!! :-)

jazzy boy: haha, lol man, everyone eats sushi here.... It's a normal everyday food, lol, let them richies know that!! ;-)

Noppa: Ave price is about $28 for a cd here....

Alexandre- good luck with your new cd... hope the songs work out well for you.... any hints on the cd title? :)

had some friends over for a bbq yesterday and had ITLIS? on and i think about 3 or 4 will be buying the album within the week... feel kind of bad because one chick is just buying it because of lifestyle but hopefully after a few listens she will start to appreciate the rest....

Also went to visit my truck yesterday and it is almost done... just a little bit of work to tidy it up, should be done by thursday but of course the rims are still in california (damn boyd coddingtons!) so they wont make it here until friday at the earliest which of course is when my resto guy is going on vacation for a week.... argh!!! i have no patience! almost done though....

Austin- Looks like you had a blast in the last couple of days! did you go see TMBG? no pictures?:) that set up with dishwalla sounds incredible!

Anyway off to do some homework... hope most in Satchland have a good day....

hello joe

my name is kevin i want to ask u a simple thing how i can be like u .

i love guitar and i love u i want to play guitar like you .

Hi! I'm from Portugal and I would like to see a Satriani concert in my country!

I like Satriani music much more than any other styles/bands! It's really great!

Thank you Satriani for playing all those great songs!

Trutina: I hope you have good news tomorrow. Is it a GBM that you have? I was just wondering, I don't mean to pry. Have a great day! it's 70 and beautiful here! Amen!

Mikey Vai: Thanks for the info! i'll have to get that DVD also! lol!

Joe, please come to Brazil in this year.On the G3 of the next year, call Kirk Hammett(your disciple) or Michael Romeo from the Symphony X, this guy is awesome on the guitar.Come to Brazil, come to Brazil.

962...yeah that would be cool... I'm sure Joe has some stuff that he jams to, just to warm up or something...plays around with...maybe some unfinished ideas or something like that....I'd be interested in hearing some of that stuff myself.....perhaps he may have some stuff from earlier sessions and since he doesn't like to go over old ground when he releases a new album...he may have some stuff just laying around from days gone by...

Noppa Yea I agree Koivu is a really good player, he was the first to score last night I think.

marimariSRV Birmingham's kinda close to London, so maybe we could meet. :-)

962 I'll have to look into moving to Boston once I've got an ass load of money....a big ass load of money. Hopefully there's some computer game design companies in Boston so I can get a job lol.
