Hi everyone!
A little Satch story today, it's a sunny day in Madrid and I went some shopping. Well, in a shoe store located in the plain center of Madrid, they were putting The Electric Joe Satriani - An Anthology!!!!! I couldn't help the emotion :-)

Noppa, 'Child in Time' by Deep Purple, Ian Gillan's spiral of screams... I specially love the version with Joe following the screams on the guitar, amazing.

bahduh, hi, that incident at the friendly Spain-England football or soccer match last wednesday, well, the fact is that because of four dumbs that are always putting their foot in it, they all get covered in.
The great majority of Spanish football fans are not racist at all, the same as English football fans are all not hooligans. I think English press in particular has exaggerated the matter describing Spanish football fans as 'racists'. Perhaps they are using this to discredit the country because we are direct rivals for the Olympics 2012 celebration, I don't know.
Anyway, that stupid part of the crowd that were making the monkey noises uh uh every time a black player touched the ball don't know that there are things we can't play with.
Ah, talking about football, precisely today takes place the biggest derby match in the national football league here in Spain: Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona!!!! What's the most popular sport in India? best wishes

Ya Yo Gakk - How do you know Eric Clapton is to blame? Maybe Jeff Beck didn't want to be on the DVD.

EDIT - I forgot the word "know"...LOL.

Suzie, I agree whole-heartedly, and have to really bite my tongue (in a metaphoric sense) to not get mad at "dubyah" for saying "i think foxhunting is good. kill those dam foxes".

but yeah, the people that really bug me are those, like you said, who come up with some bullshit justification for it. I'm amused by the way theyre saying that they will keep on hunting regardless of it being illegal. That's great, cause it means I can go out looking for a chance to carry out a citizens arrest! I've been wanting permission to beat these heartless bastards for years. And they have the cheek to claim they are the "voice of the countryside"! ARRRGGGHHH! Ok i'm done ranting now too! hehe

Noppa, I'd say the opening vocal on Monkey Business by Skid Row. If that isn't passionate, I don't know what it. lol! As for the fight at the Pacers/Pistons game, I have one word - pathetic. If you can't control your emotions, you shouldn't be in the game. ~ "The NBA suspended Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson of Indiana and Ben Wallace of Detroit on Saturday for taking part in one of the ugliest brawls in U.S. sports history. " I bet the owners and coaches were mortified.

YaYo, I just saw a commercial for the Clapton DVD. They started naming off the players with their names underneath their pictures. They said Eric Johnson and showed a pic of Vai with E.J.'s name under the pic, then they said Steve Vai and showed an older guy (it went so quick I didn't catch it but it looked like Joe Walsh). I was like WTF?? lol! I bought the DVD for my husband for Christmas, but keep it on the DL ;-)

962, the march against the war was a good one. To bad it didn't help :( My peeping Toms were painters, not roofers like I first said. They're finally fixing up the place next door. The paint is literally falling off the woodwork. lol!

Alex, I hope you're feeling better soon honey. Yes, I like heavy music. It gets the blood flowing. lol! I like all different kinds of music, but I like when it's crunchy, yet satisfying :) lol!

Ooooohhhh, pizza's here - gotta run !!!

Do The Stu,

Thank's for the input about the picture...it's Joe & myself photographed at a Meet & Greet at a record store for his promotion of "Is There Love In Space".

The picture was taken by an approved Radio Station employee...is the info you've given me based on legal fact?

Although, it might be cool to be involved with Satch in a law suit, and I do think he'd be alright with it...I would like his permission.

I've got a pic with Jimi Hendrix & myself, but he's with the Guitar Gods now.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Clarky,

Stern is cool...he's ruled the Drive Time Airways in NYC for about 2 Decades...

962- I know what you mean! It isn't worth losing your lid over daft comments. :-) Going to look at a Flying V plus others next Saturday...

962 - "Can somebody answer an age-old mystery to me? Who is John Kalodner : John kalodner?"

John Kalodner is an A&R (Artists & Repetoire) guy. He's worked on thousands of albums, and is probably most famous for saving Aerosmith in the 1980s.

So...what do A&R guys do? They are a link between the band and the rest of the record company. They work with artists during the writing and recording process and tell them what they should do if they want their music to be successful..."This song would be better if you waited until after the second verse to go to the chorus.", "This song needs a better hook.", "This song won't be played on the radio with those bad words in it.", etc. John Kalodner isn't (and A&R guys in general aren't) that extreme with everyone...these are just a few examples of things.

To mention Aerosmith again... If you're familiar with the song Janie's Got A Gun, John went nuts and made Steven Tyler change the line "He raped a little bitty baby." to "He jacked a little bitty baby." in the studio so the song would be played on the radio. Steven was really pissed about that, and he sings "raped" whenever he does the song live.

In a more general sense (and this is probably how A&R guys work with musicians like Satch and Steve Vai), A&R guys help artists organize an album's running order, they help choose which songs will be released as singles, and so on...

If you're wondering why JK is listed as "John Kalodner: John Kalodner", well...there are a few different possible explanations. I think the most popular one is simply that John Kalodner's job is to be John Kalodner. If that doesn't make sense...think of an album's liner notes:

Producer: Joe Smith
Engineer: Bob Johnson
Recorded By: John Doe
Manager: Jane Doe
John Kalodner: John Kalodner

Does that make sense? It's just a joke that he's used since the beginning of his career.

EDIT - I fixed some horrendous grammatical errors in this post. I guess that's what I get for posting things right before I leave, without proofreading them.

About "The most passionate rock/pop -scream ever" -poll:

Do The Stu: "Steven Tyler on 'Janie's Got A Gun' "; Yes!... Steven for shure is capable for passionate screams!... good choise.

You put another one:"Dave Matthews" on 'Halloween' "; Never even heard of "Dave Matthews Band" ...[ashamed] Gimme that link for that one!

Zenfish: "Jimi Hendrix on 'Born under bad sign' "; ...[even more ashamed]Haven't heard that one either, but am shure gonna dig that "Jimi Blues" from somewhere to check that out... Jimi's music was very much about passion!

SupaaDave: "Robert Plant on 'How many more times' and 'Kashmir' "; Amen!... Robert knows how to scream in a passionate way!... good choise.

LucySorets: "Ian Gillan on 'Child In Time' in a version where Joe imitates the screams with his guitar"; Wow!... 1. Is that recorded? 2. (if yes) Is it available somewhere??... Ian's voice on that one has always been extremely passionate... and I know -as you all- that Joe's guitar can be the most passionate!... what a choise.

michelle: "The opening vocal on 'Monkey Business' by Skid Row"; ...[okay, now I'm getting embarresed] I'll have to check that one too...

mikesb: "Gotta be Roger Daltrey on "Won't Get Fooled Again" because it is such a critical part of that song..."; Might well be so... but because you stated that fighting has always been and will always be part of ice hockey, I'm not gonna support you on this........ naaaah! just kidding... very good one... Roger had probably eaten something more than just pudding that day they recorded it!
P.S. Even if fighting would always be part of the game (in North America I know it will...you cocky machos ;-), it doesn't belong in sports idea, right? (I've been in two fights playing ice hockey...didn't start neither one...didn't lose neither one ;-)

My own first ones were: Bon Scott's croak on "Problem child" from AC/DC's live album "If you want blood you've got it" (-78) at 2:26 right after Angus' guitar solo...

Prince on "The Beautiful Ones" from "PURPLE RAIN Prince and the Revolution" (-84 ... Great album in all). This one consists of a series of cawings starting from 3:24 until the end...

Now I'll give you some more to ponder if they might be the one; Devin Townsend on "Still My Bleeding Heart" from "VAI; SEX & RELIGION"... that series of cawings at the end of the song...huh? This guy is amazing vocalist...he can sing screaming (as he does a lot on that album)...and softly, nice and easy. P.S. Vai's solo on that song is pretty delicious!

Do The Stu,

Thank you very much!

michelle, "finally fixing up the place next door"....don't you hate it when the neighbours' joint is an eye-sore?! hehe It's like....SO degrading....like, oh my GOD!

Yeah, it's a damn shame the stop-the-war march didn't do anything. All it did was confirm that the majority of people (in this country at least) are against the war in the middle east, and that the government don't give a sh*t. It sucks, big time.

So yeah, thanks!

YaYo......My gut feeling is that Jeff Beck, being self-critical like most guitarists are about their own playing, probably decided that he did'nt like his performance and insisted that it not be included.

Who hates Thanksgiving???

This holiday is the worst excuse for 2 days off in the entire US history.

Have you ever noticed that the portrayal of Indians in anything Turkeyday related is always from the 1600's? There's a reason for that. It's because, at that point in the history of our little republic, we hadn't committed mass genocide and turned ourselves into the laughing stock hypocrites that we're seen as today.

People who tell me "but it's the day when you give thanks" seem to forget that we have a day dedicated to the exact same thing around 1 month later- that day is called Christmas. And don't give me that shit "well, Christmas is about sharing"- not the way retail America sees it, it isn't. What it is is a way of telling the people around you that you care about them and that you love them, which is another way of giving thanks for them being in your lives.

As for the biblethumpers, sure- Christmas originated from the mistaken belief that it's to "celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ." Never mind that Jesus was born in March and that almost all the traditions surrounding Christmas are direct ripoffs from the Wiccan holiday "Yule." Besides, there's a LOT of people who don't believe in God, and as for myself, I have no doubt that Jesus existed. But like the Jews, I don't believe he was the son of God.

Anyways, back to Thanksgiving- when's the last time any of us white folks went up to an Indian and said "I'm sorry"? Or ANY minority, now that I think about it. Granted, you'd have to do some searching to locate an Indian, since we've made 'em a little difficult to find. But you could easily find a black family at random and do this. How many of you have done this, or would even contemplate doing it? If not, then "celebrating" Thanksgiving is a hypocritical act for you.

For the record:

I hate and detest Thanksgiving and all that it stands for, because it's rooted in bullshit.

I "celebrate" Christmas by giving gifts to those people in my life whom I cherish and genuinely care about. I give because doing so makes me feel good, which means that for me, Christmas is a selfish act.

(sigh)

BTW, Megadeth rocked Chicago!!!!

I am back in Minneapolis preparing thanksgiving at my parents house....you can realise my frustration. And all my fruitcake cousin sisters and brothers will be there....cant stand even one of them....
