What does Yngwie think of Joe's playing?
Yngwie Malmsteen did a "blindfold" test for Guitar World in 1994 where he had to listen to an unidentified song and give his opinion of the guitar playing. The first song they played him was "The Mighty Turtle Head." Here's what Yngwie had to say:
MALMSTEEN: I like the groovy intro. Sounds like a Strat. But the soloing going over the song is very bad. It's bent out of shape and out of tune. It's very basic bull---- pentatonic runs. The choice of notes in the solo is completely overdone. That stuff has been done for 30 years! I'm sick and tired off that bending bull----. This is the most run-of-the-mill pentatonic playing I ever heard.
GUITAR WORLD: That was Joe Satriani.
MALMSTEEN: You're kidding! Was he high? He's playing out of tune, and the most boring runs! What I've heard from Satriani before was really good, but this -- this sounds like something someone would play in a garage. After the backwards solo, Joe does some nice stuff with out of phase pickups, which I liked. But the actual solo... I could never dream that was Joe. Out of tune, and terrible.
Too bad . . . I'll stick up for Joe over Yngwie anyday. I wonder if these comments ever came up between Yngwie and Joe later on. I doubt it.

sueann603, no, I can't say I've seen any posts from Andy Conte. That must have been a few years ago that he was posting here?
Delfino, sounds like you're going to be busy dude! But hey, at least you'll be busy doing stuff you're really enjoying! Yeah, please do post screens of your room, UT level and poster, I'd love to see 'em (if only to see that Delfino amp again!)
I am SO confused. Since Joe's post everyone has gone completely mad.
And how come, all of a sudden, everybody's digging up articles on things that Joe has supposedly done wrong? Newsflash: Joe is a person just like most of the rest of us....he's entitled to have the odd bad day here and there.

yob = year of birth
x = number of times a week to drink
x+5 x 50 + 1755 or 1754 - yob = result
result is x followed by your age
x + 250 + 1755 - yob = result
x + this year - yob = result
this year - yob = your age
x followed by age = x followed by age
next year replace 250 with 251 or 1755 (or 1754) with 1756 (or 1755)
easy really ;-)
Cuth speaking of Sesame Street, I recently heard that cookie monster is now known as carrot monster. If it's true that's seriously f****d up, imho...
EDIT: some of my carriage returns didn't come through...

Okay, so I searched some past posts and saw that Yngwie's opinion about "The Mighty Turtle Head" has been mentioned here before . . . sorry.
Apparently Yngwie did another Guitar World blindfold test and had more favorable comments about "Sleepwalk." He said:
I've heard this song many times before. I don't know who's playing on this version, but the slide guitar playing is very good. The guitarist has great expression, and he's playing in tune.
That's more like it.

For the last time............
I said I was sorry! I did not mean anything offensive. I was asked what went on while he was away and I responded! I take no delight in being offensive, I hate it. And you said other youngsters. Cheese and Michelle said they were in their 40's. I have seen cubes site, so I know he was not young (no offense.) Would you please stop badgering me! I said I was sorry, and thats all I can do! Just leave me alone. Please.

Keniko/AussieRGman - Isn't it a Boss DS-1 that Joe uses? I recently upgraded from a Digitech RP-6 to seperate pedals and bought the DS-1. It's a great sounding pedal.
I was well chuffed when I saw a close up pic of Joes DS-1 setting in Guitar One (I think!) magazine. The sustain that I got at my next band rehearsal was great! (sorry for the rip off Joe!)
I'm still tempted to buy a whammy pedal but guess I'll have to ask Santa for that....

Joe, good to see ya again, and take heart...it's expected that you are human and not perfect....we shouldn't (and I don't) believe everything bad that people have to say about you or other stars. A lot of what is printed is just to make money and very far from the truth. We love ya Joe!! And it's raining here too, so cool!! Hope yer still enjoying that beautiful studio!! Later Joe!! :)
PS webmaster Jon.... The chat appears to be "broken"??? Is it just me and my computer, or is there something you might do to mend it? LOL!! Thanks Jon!!

I did not say that you or any other youngsters were offensive to our lovely ladies, I couldn't because I was not involved in the conversation. Pay attention, the tense of my post indicated that the occurrence was not in the recent past.
As for wanting people to stop badgering you and leave you alone, either show a little respect or simply don't enter the chat or read these posts.
At the end of the day, the only reason we are in this forum (IMHO) is because we are Joe fans. Be friendly and people will be very friendly back.
End of.
Steve.

Stevee T
Having half listened to your chromeboy and the lava lamp on my pute before and not been particularly impressed, I don't know why but i fished out my Bose headphones to give it another go. Well I have to say I love the tune, to me it is dark and intense and well worth a listen. You know what's coming next don't you!? Yes a slight grumble, I'm not a musician and don't pretend to be but I know what sounds good to me and your song sounds very good. However, it didn't seem quite full enough to me and the drums sound like they came from a machine. Other than that I'd be happy to part with my pennies to play your music on my machine.
Good luck and God Bless.
Keep rocking.
Steve.
