hi joe , im new to your fanclub , and i was suprised that i wouldnt have to pay 30$ a month to get to have a place here. i am very greatful. i first saw you in an old video clip i found on a tape. the song was "always with me , always with you ". that song broke it for me after. nowadays i only praise a few guitar gods. 2 of them are your pupils; kirk hammett , and steve vai.anyways last year around christmas i fell on some luck . my father mentions a G3 tour to me , because i was still a little upset that i would not be able to attend the iron maiden concert.( not a superbly big fan , but a friend offered to bring me.)so anyways we got some tickets right off the side. we could see the sound board , and basically everything when they were switching sets.i was greatly impressed with yngwie malmsteen's speedy soloings, he seems like a nice guy , and he has quite a history aswell, then the steve vai . starts off with his 3 neck signature ibanez.and then after all that you finally run in stage with red sunglasses and red ibanez. and you start kicking ass there.you had the light show of all. with the flashy red lights , and the lazers. you also had the best set. you and your band were on the same level , which is what made your set the best. i still cant believe you might actually read this some day when your not busy giging. i bet its hard. me and my friends have a band too. we struggle alot sometimes , but we constantly strive to make it to the annual variety show held at our high school.last year we made in with "for whom the bell tolls" from metallica. that was my first ever time on stage. sure we could have played something else but for a first time it was an easy song that alot of people knew.we are going for it again this year. i hope i get the chance in my life to get at least to gig. because my biggest dream in the world would be to become a student of yours and live for the music. i dont really want to work later on , and end up selling my guitars for a suite.i guess its unfair, but i shall work as much as i can to have at least some gigs , but i really wanted a career. we cant al be winners.

well anyways this is as far as this post goes.ive never won any backstage passes , or actually met you face to face. so i hope in all my heart that you read this , and if you could reply to it , so that i can say that ive met my guitar hero of all time.it would be an honor for me , and i dont think il ever be able to close my eyes if ever you do.i would be eternaly in your favor.youve opened my eyes to music and techiniques i didnt know existed . youve inspired me to do many things and i hope im not the only one who's seen a g3 or an actual satriani show , because it clearly and definately rocks!!

Hey Joe! When are you comming to Michigan?!?! I cant wait to see you in concert! Have a nice day!

Pat

jelly man - Yeah, GAK is where I got the £469 from. I love that shop. At one point I actually spent three and a half hours in there... lol

burnoutsuperman - Cool! I hope you can get a clean sound though...

XtrChessReal - Well, I've done my research already. I can't afford a Soldano any time soon and I don't particularly rate Marshall's clean sounds. IMO, a Laney is just as good as a Marshall and they're considerably cheaper. Regarding the exchaneg rate, I think it's something like $1.8 to £1...

OMFG you guys have got to be kidding me... wtf is wrong with you!!! lol

ok...

first and foremost... ill say this... you guys have NOTHING to be bitching about when it comes to G3... i have had EASILY the worst experience ever

(hey joe, remember when you left me hanging on the stairs??? and you "left" the building when i saw you walking down the hall?? eh??? no hard feelings bro!)

anyways... my 2 cents...

too loud??? it cleared my sinus infection! damn right its too loud!!! louder the better hoss... id kill to be able to put that much SPL's.

Steve Vai.... long winded... self indulgent..... sigh... i guess you just dont get it. Long solo's are kind of required with instrumental songs hoss... Second point, his "sputterings and random noises" are musical. Ever listen to Tom Morello. He doesnt even sound like hes playinga guitar half the time!!! yet its cooler than hell....

Yngwie.... another *sigh*.... if you dont like it... dont listen to it... dont bash him for paving a style you dont like.

Hey joe... i want to congratulate you on your new cd. good stuff man.

Hi Guys im new to this forum, On saturday I saw G3 live in Birmingham NIA and it was amazing! I love all of the stuff off the new album "is There Love In Space" which sounded great live. Satch and Vai were brilliant and Robert Fripp was good in his wierd and wonderful way... I'd just like to say that I think your great Joe!

Hi everyone... Bil (trutina) emailed me today. He's been away recently for personal reasons, but he says hi to everyone. He said Miranda is doing well and his physical health is stable.

The T2J CD is still at least a few weeks away, but it'll be well worth the wait. If anyone has any questions about that, go ahead and ask them here. I'm sure I (or one of the contributors) can help you out...

Isn't the solution to your problem obvious? Take her to your concert. ;-)

I don't know if it's fair to make that argument. Why is it hypocritical for people to talk about the military or support a war if they or their kids are not in the military? You and I don't hold political office, yet we're talking about politics. Most people here at T2J aren't professional musicians, yet we talk about music... That doesn't mean we're all hypocrites.

Isn't the age range for the draft is around 18 to 35...? If we would only allow people in that age range make decisions for our military, we would be in trouble fast...

LOL... I saw a band at the House Of Blues on Sunset last year...they had a scrolling thing that said "Warning: May Cause Repetitive Reading"... I loved it!

LOL. I don't really care about that, though. I want to see the first guy who actually painted himself into a corner. :-)

You don't know that Joe blatantly refused to give you an autograph, either. I don't think it's fair for you to make that assumption. Maybe he got on the bus and went straight for the toilet, or maybe his family was already on the bus and he was busy with them... Who knows...

LOL... ;-) "The squigly L" is UK Pounds. Click here...

I play bass... I have a cheap Washburn that is very cool and a Fender Stu Hamm Urge II.

EDIT - Grammar.

I want to thank joe for the G3-gig in helsinki \ ----------\ ----------/ THANK YOU!!!!!! /

I was just listening the new record and I realized something... ''Souls of distorsion'' is absolutely a great song!!! I just love it!!!

I'm a big fan of Joe's.....

Hehee...this is fun.....I'm losing it....

I can't believe how crazy it was to shake hands with Joe..

This message is very weird... I wonder ''Why''?

I think Mark Knopfler would be a great G!! He's got STYLE!!!! I've never heard a bad solo from him... Even when he improvises... there's just so much style in his playing...

JOE IS THE BEST!!!

my not G3 performance - I'd like to completely fail to say thanx to all you guys that didn't mail me with congratulations and praise for the gig I didn't play.. all this is a potentially heart-warming thing for me...

so thanx.. but no thanx... lol..

and maybe fr that reason alone he is used to taking abuse about his music.. becase many people just fail to understand him..

I've decided.. although I'm a long way off from buying a new amp head.. the one I will get next will be the Marshall EL34 100/100... she's a babe and I need one...

Do The Stu: I agree with your comments entirely about the 'Joe bashing' - the man had just spent 3 1/2 hours either on stage or waiting to go on stage... it's not unreasonable to expect him to wanna get some rest with his family!! From what I understand from interviews and speaking to the lucky people who've met him, he's one of the nicest guys in music. I've always been under the impression that he has more time for his fans than most musicians... but thats just my humble opinion!!

do the stu - i'm afraid i haven't heard of those movies... i know that they did a couple of left behind movies but that was more recent, and didn't have stuff about razors... if i find out i'll let you know... love the repetetive reading thing!

js js - yeah- 12 books out, 13 and 14 coming soonish.

Do The Stu - I know that he wasnt busy with his family as he had literally just got on the bus. My bro said that he looked a bit pissed (they had an aftershow party that night) so he might have been embarassed or something but still that is really not like Joe. I just feel that if he didnt want to sign anything then send someone down from his management to warn the people who have stuck around for 2 bloody hours just to get a signature that takes no longer than 1 second to sign!!!

Any thought from others on this???

WARM REGARDS!!!!!!!!!!

Well.........I went to the RAH show last night, & what a night! Steve was really brilliant, I had been to Birmingham on Sat, & he was much better last night. You did have a bad cold Steve, so hopefully you are feeling much better.I was right at the back up in the circle above the boxes & thought well it won't be so loud tonight.............but it was! When you are at the Shepherds Bush Empire Joe, the sound is really perfect, i reckon there is more time for you to sort things out. Anyway , Joe, you were spot on with your songs. My highlight of the night was Gnaahh and War.Joe also spoke quite a lot, & different things to Saturday.It was a real shame it was too loud...........
