SilentShady- glad to hear you'll be posting more. Why haven't you been, by the way? Buying a telecaster is definitely on the "list," but probably not quite yet. Lots of anti telecaster feeling on the live chat btw! Must give that place a miss for a while. Some good people go in there, I suppose.

Mikesb- thanks for the advice, will remember it!

Mari- look forward to finally catching up! Tomorrow eve we are doing our "Suzo and the Snaps" concert though. BTW Battle of Evermore is one of my favourite Led Zep tracks, have you heard much of Sandy Denny's stuff though? I love her voice, she was a very talented lady. Speak soon!:)

Hello all

Keniko: yeah it was some what of a buumer but I am not to buged out about it because the races will be there again next year. So i am excited about that.

Joe: I voted for you man. I am going to go home and watch your live in SF.

Well I have msn for those who asked me about it. ( a while ago)

Peace out to all

Suzie2000: well everyone has their own opinion! most of the people that were in the chat like Jacksons, Ibanez, but mostly Ibanez. No one appriciates the good ol' sound of teles anymore.

Hello friends, good evening !!!!

I would like to wish you great weekend. I´m with a few physical problems on my shoulder and neck, back problems and i feel ants on my right arm and hand sometimes. Not good for now. It´s not a dangerous situation but that´s not nice.

Yesterday i introduced the new Gonçalo Pereira DVD in Lisbon, very very nice :-). Great audience and there`s a few more dates to do that this month :-). THE NEW DVD ROCKS!!!

JOE - I still miss you, any problem with you? Let us know please!!!! So much time and no news, give us your 69 post!!!!

has joe been on lately??

marimariSRV:If Mr Vai decides to play in Barcelona, sure, i,ll be a goin if work lets up. Enjoy the tour, Laters darlin

alexandrecaetano:Yeah pretty nasty lil tornado we had here friend, threw a few cars into the sea & trashed a hole lot more & buildings in Sitges(Barca) The Spanish are also unprepared for a lot of water,the drains etc dont function like say the UK that get rain all the time, so you end up gettin pissed on underground when walking to the Metro, not looking forward to the winter here, i,ve a feeling chaos is just around the corner

Good Morning friends :-) !!!

OCPS470 - I have these pains and strange sensations since last June. One day i woke up with pains on the neck. I didn`t move the neck for the right side. Lots of pains. I thought, probably Bodyboarding but no. I do Bodyboarding since 1989 and i never got it. The doctor yesterday told me that i have problem on the tendons of the cervical Column. I need to do more exams. It`s a little frustrating but i can play guitar :-). You are right, that sucks :-/. Thanks for asking my great friend, you are great and becarefull with the hurricane in Florida. Warm regards!!!

STEEVE T - Hello Gentleman from U.S.A. :-). Very good Portuguese :-). Probably the problem is on my bed or on my professional life. I need to find the reason for so bad sensations and pains. Thanks for asking my friend. Thank you brother. Good weekend for you :-)) !!!

SLANSHROOM - Hey Mark :-). In first place your cd rules :-). Great playing, congratulations my friend, really :-). Yeah, Portugal is on the same situation. A Hurricane here would be devastator, we are not prepared to that, i think that nobody is really prepared to face so strong thing. The nature has the command, sometimes is good, sometimes is terrible :-/. I got my two tickets for Steve Vai`s concerts here in Portugal, i go to Porto and Lisbon :-)). Two concerts in 24 hours :-). Have a great weekend bro, all the best for you ;-)!!!

962 - Hello friend, how are you? Any news? Hope you are ok, nice to see :-). Good weekend bro !!!!

TO ALL: Hey friends, i have a new song (Powerful Tangerine), if you didn`t hear that check it out and let me know what do you think, if you don`t mind. Thank you :-)

PhryDom, OCPS470, death cube k, any updates on the t2j II release date? Peace...steve

marimariSRV...what's yer departure date for the world tour?

Dear Mr. Joe,

i want to thank u for the great music that u give us, it inspires me in everything in this life, it makes me happy when im sad and it gives me hope everytime i feel down, u r a unique player that got undiscriped feelings in ur playing, every note u play says many thing..very deep. i'am a big fan of urs like everyone else, when i learnt guitar i played on ur songs as a practising,i been playing for 8 years now and i can play most of ur songs and i never get bored playing them, the first guitar i bought and still playing on it till now is a cheap jackson, and my biggest dream is to own ur signiture series, but its very expinsive for me, so i started to save money for this guitar two years ago, worked so hard for it, and when i almost got the requiered money i faced a problem which was i have to pay my colleg to be able to study, so i spent that money, i had no choice, and i cant save anymore now that im in colleg, it takes all my money. Mr.Joe, i never dreamed to have or to own something more than ur signiture guitar, sometimes i wish i'm a rich person, then i find the fact that i cant own anything expinsive, its so depressing, Mr.Joe would u please give me away a signiture series of urs?.

im really sorry if i sound mean or anything like that, u have no idea how much it honors me to own something that has ur name on it, i never wanted something more than that.

Hey Joe, hope you get a chance to read this.....Miss ya bud......saw you and the G3 crew in Nashville last time. All I can say is we miss you and please come back to us US folk soon. I am a Coast Guard Operations Specialist and have all your CD's. Play myself of course and have been messing with "The Extremist". Not much luck, but we have been kind of busy lately at work. Just so you know, trying to play my own licks as well as yours is enough to get my mind off events on the day or two I get off lately. Please come back to the states..and a request. Try and do a Memphis show please, so I don't have to drive 3 hours to see ya in Nashville. I will ifI have to though, as I love Nashville, however, Satch plus Memphis could be cool. Keep kicking patookus man....

death cube k...thanks...I'm a hangin'....lol

andre...Rubina is Joe's wonderful wife....
