So, it was the Veteran's day in the U.S. of A. (that explains a lot of the recent messages on this board): The Finnish Air Force salutes every soldier, that has given their efforts to serve and protect their own country!!!
...I hope the government of the U.S. of A. makes the right decisions in the future, about what is your consern ...and what isn't!
...'cause like I've said (quoted) earlier (actually some old American general has said in the past): "No one hates war more than a soldier, for only he knows what it really can be."

pp0 - You can buy the T2J CD at http://www.talk2joe.com/.
Joe has released the following DVDs:
- The Satch Tapes
- G3 - Live In Concert
- Live In San Francisco
- G3 Live - In Denver
Reel Satriani is not available on DVD.
I have a few Satch audio bootlegs, but I don't really have any on video.
Thanks, but I'm not the second-biggest fan by any means. There are people here who have seen Joe more than you and I combined (although I'm not saying the person who has seen Joe the most is the biggest fan).
I play bass guitar. I have a low-end (but very cool) Washburn and a Fender Stu Hamm Urge II. I don't have many effects because I'm not in a band and I don't play live. I have a Boss CEB and a Korg PX3B, and I'm looking into buying a bass wah (either a Dunlop or a Morley).
Joe's current live setup is fairly simple. Now that he's using the Peavey JSX, he doesn't use some of the pedals he used to use. He gets his distortion from his amp. He uses a DIgiTech whammy pedal, a Dunlop Crybaby wah, and a Fulltone Ultimate Octave, among other things.
Noppa - "That must be, because Joe was on same tour with his own equipment. Right?"
LOL...I reread my comment and realized how stupid it could have sounded... ;-) To answer your question... Yes...and no. Joe used his own guitar, but not his own amp / effects.
When Joe would jam with Deep Purple in the past, he would usually use one of Steve's guitars and half of Steve's rig (Steve runs stuff through two separate amps, and switches back and forth between them live...when he is playing with Joe, both setups are being used at the same time).
If Joe is not on tour (and he usually isn't when he's jamming with Deep Purple), it makes no sense for him to drag his own amps and pedals out on stage. These jams are planned ahead of time (In some form, at least, even if it's just a quick "Hey, Joe...come see our gig this weekend and we'll jam."), so it wouldn't be all that difficult for Joe to bring one of his guitars. In the past, he just hasn't done that. I don't know why that is. When other guitarists jam with bands, they bring their own stuff...
This most recent time, Joe was on tour and obviously had his own equipment on the road with him. However, he still played through half of Steve's rig (just as he has done in the past). Joe used one of his own guitars this time, I guess because they were right there.
Joe is weird. ;-)
...Austin...

Steven, I'm still 350 posts behind. Thanks for your message. Today is flying by so fast! I hope tonight at work goes just as fast. Things are good here today. Hope the same goes for you. Vets are VIP's always. God Bless them all.
Bahduh, hello! I haven't heard from my friend in a few days. I left 2 messages, but no one has called me back yet. I think they would have called me if something happened, so she's probably staying with her daughter for a few days.

Hey Joe,
Saw you in Jacksonville with my guitar player. First time seeing you live. Best show I've ever seen.Been listening for years. Now I find your site and find out I could have purchased some access, damnit man. I'll be sure to get it next time you're close. Thanks for one helluva night. New album is great. My guitarist has totally flipped over it. We picked a couple to cover, gives me a break from singin to jam my 12 string! He is dying to get your js1200 Ibanez. He uses my old Marshall dual 900 and a new crate 4x12, as well as a 5150. Just two Boss stomp boxes. Gets incredible sound. You've definitely lit a fire under him, thanks!

About public media and information: (DoTheStu: aren't you studying this area? You lighten me up, if anybody else is not warming up about this)
Why is it so, that in the name of the 'freedom of speech', there is so much bad news released in public medias -including morning news, when children can (will) see the news about all the tragedys (even the smaller ones, which don't have any larger influence in your own country)- ???
I mean: what is the point? (answer: there ain't one) ...what are the benefits of it? (answer: none) ...what is the effect of it? (answer: nothing good)
I know, that this world isn't a rosegarden ...and my children will learn that, when it's time for them to learn that! But I just can't understand why the fuck we are being feed with all that shit all the time!?!?!?
...Think about it!

I got a question for anybody here from the T2J community...
----For about a month I've been in a creative slump, I can't come up with new or good songs like I use to? I've been playing for about 11 years, I get creative slumps at times, but this one is lasting way too long!!! If anyone has any ideas or help to get the creative juices flowing again, please let me know!!! I play in a rock band, I am the only guitarist, I started the band, I'm even not coming up with ideas for rhythm? I mainly do instrumental when not in my rock band, there is where I need it the most, I haven't been able to come up with anything good, or anything at all in the past month! I hope somebody has a way to get my creative juices get back on track like they use to be!!!? Any suggestions??? Thanks in advance for anyone who tries to help me out!!!

Zinc Master, hehe, sorry didn't mean to rain on your parade man! Those e-mail scams crack me up....the first time I got one I actually went to the trouble of mailing back, with a message that simply read "fuck off", but then the next day I got 6 more of the same mail from different addresses so I realised it's all randomly generated. Internet fraud is lame....what a waste of time.
Joe, you rock dude! Hope you're keepin well. I swear every time I listen to ITLIS? it gets better.....what a cracking album! Also, have you heard any of the work that Mr Vai has done for the soundtrack to the new videogame Halo 2? It's kinda cool, kinda quirky! Maybe Microsoft Game Studios would give you guys permission to use some of it as a theme for a G3 Jam song!
Ovation1, Happy Birthday sensai! Sorry I've been slow on the uptake, but best birthday wishes to you anyway! Oh and do us a fovour....Play your PGM for a 1/2 hour! hehe
Delfino, did your copy of Halo 2 arrive today? Mine did....it is absolutely f*ck*n fantastic! The Earth City geography is absolutely beautiful, and the cutscenes are awesome! The new weapons rock too! Hope you're enjoying it amigo!
anybody got any tips for teaching absolute beginners? My bass student is great and i'm getting on nicely with his stuff, but got a new guitar student this evening who is starting from the very beginning! Kinda tough....
xdomino, yeah I'd love to see Joe playing If I Could Fly live.....what a great tune, I love it!
JS_JS, man that's real harsh.
pp0, what the? Jeff is the Daddy. I hope you get to meet Jeff some day, then you'll doubtless take back what you said, cause he is one of the coolest people ever! Just like Joe!
mischievous, thanks, you rock!

Guitarmiester, dispite your creative slump, are you still playing quite a lot? If so, stop for a couple of weeks. maybe play drums or bass for a while if you want to play something. Also, I'm guessing you, like most people, probably have some music in your CD rack which you listen to about once a year, cause you're never sure whether or not it's your thing? Well, go listen to it. Listen to all the stuff you usually skip - it might open your mind to something which has subconsciously been banned.
I usually find this helps when I get in a creative slump, which happens a lot, believe me! I got it recently, so I spent a few weeks listening to Nuno Bettencourt almost exclusively....his style is really different to that of Joe, so when I started playing Joe, Eric Johnson and Andy Timmons again, I was hearing loads of cool ideas in my head.
I usually find the problem arising when I'm getting used to the sound of everything i'm playing.....this is what I think of as an autopilot phase, where you're just playing, without particularly thinking about what you're playing. Changing your influences for a while should help you to think with more focus about what you're playing!
hope that makes some kind of sense, and if it does, I hope it helps in some way! hehe.....if you can decipher my drivel, then I'm sure you'll find your creativity again!

Yeah - those scams are interesting to read once in a while (read one, read them all). The more you send back to them, the more you will get - and not only from them. They now know your address is "good" and your address is then sold and sold - then it is all down hill from there - an avalanche of emails comes your way.
