Cube You don't say 'Eh?'......whats that all aboot? lol ;-)

Zenfish Dude, I would definitely like to have a tape of your playing. If you mail me at vfrrocker@btinternet.com I can let you have my home address. I think that your sinfonie idea is great bro' but the logistics are frightening - surely you must be looking at having some kind of theme / continuity or am I missing the point?

Zenfish...excellent...we've begun....I just finished a piece last night "Winter Migration"....you suggested 30 seconds....yes?

1.Should we choose a common key, will each successive piece of work be related someway to the one preceeding it?

2.Should their be a common time signature that runs through out?

I'm ready, maybe seeing as though this is your birth canal...your piece should be the cornerstone by which it matures.

That being said...if you'd like to send me your 1st piece (via snail mail), I or whoever wishes to be the next to build off your idea can add their 2nd movement.

I hope that you'll understand my message because I'm french and I don't speak english very well (sorry)...So i have just one question : When will you come in France, AGAIN, for a mega show with Steve Vai?

...It will be very marvellous!!!

hey joe, well Ill say it and say it again, u can choose your friends, u can choose ur enemies... but u cant choose ur family..

man im about to bang my head against a wall, my mums 80th birthday in a couple of weeks dads inviting all these people theve known thru there lives which is fair enough, but with her dimentia and alzimers i doubt shed remember half them.. but the trouble is, my brother and sister (older then me) just want it to be family, and dads going on n on , and he said he didnt want the grand kids down cause theyd bring there boy friends down. man i dunno, im getting all caught up in the middle of this, family have a 3hr drive to visit each time which is fair enough, im five minutes away down the road, man im just so fr..... peved off right now,

Does anyone knows if Joe uses a stock DS-1??? Or it is a modded DS-1???

...I know Steve Vai gave him a Robert Keeley DS-1...

And on this day, a handsome young man took a lovely young woman to be his bride.....

.....and they've lived happily ever after......

Good Morning Satchland........ How Are You Guys ?

Joe...... It's great to hear from U again. I hope the recording is going great for you and the band. Are you working with Mike Fraser and John Cuniberti? What direction are the songs taking you in? It's cool Rubina makes those things for your guitar. Kinda makes her presents felt when you look at them. That's nice. Are you planning another meet - n - greet for the new CD? That would be awesome. Hugs to you and the family,band and crew. Take care....

Michelle....... Happy Anniversary...... How many years? Cyber hugs to you and Dave. Congrats to you both.

Stevee T...... Harvestice is Nice ! ! ! ! . I like how you opened up at the end of the song. Nice Melody over the chord changes also. Great Job. Put me on the list for a CD. I'd love to have one. Thanks......Take care.

Mari......How are you? Settleing in still? I hope you can photograph Joe also. I'm pullin' for you. Take care.

Angelina/Dakook.....How's everything going with the baby? Hope all is well. Hugs to you.

Mikeaholic......Nice pics of your JS1200CA. Great looking guitar. Thanks civgeek for the link. I gotta get me one of those.

Joe Satriani

Good day to you,

I am repeating this post in case you skip past the original which may be buried in the weekend's frantic posting.

There are many people posting here who have suggested various guitarists as a third member of G3 but I have never seen a post which suggests you invite a top singer to guest on your vocal songs. I know there can be restrictions with people signed to different labels but I am sure that you could sort something out. I believe a top vocalist could take your amazing music to a new level.

Good luck with the recording. Peace and best wishes to you and your family.

Subject: DUI - KENTUCKY STYLE

From the state where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story.

Sorry....I'm on a roll.....

Subject: Senior's Bus Tour

A senior citizens' group charters a bus from San Angelo, TX to Branson. As they entered Missouri, an elderly woman comes up to the driver and says, "I've just been molested!" The driver felt that she had fallen asleep and had a dream. So he tells her to go back to her seat, and sit down.

A short time later, another old woman comes forward, and claims that she was just molested. The driver thought he had a bus load of old wackos, but who would be molesting those old ladies?

About 10 minutes later, a third old lady comes up and says that she'd been molested too. The bus driver decides that he'd had enough, and pulls into the first rest area. When he turns the lights on and stands up, he sees an old man on his hands and knees crawling in the aisles.

"Hey gramps, what are you doing down there?" says the bus driver.

"I lost my toupee. I thought I found it three times, but every time I grab it, it runs away..."

Hey! Recently got the Ibanez JS1200, awesome guitar! Ibanez and Joe have worked well to produce a great instrument. This one now sits with the JS6 and JS6000 I have. I want a 2PRM though, thats looks pretty. Why do ya use the older Licensed Floyd Rose 'Edge' trem instead of the newer Ibanez 'Edge Pro' that is equipped on the high end production models? I think the 'Edge Pro' stays in tune pretty damn well, this is comming from someone who, a while ago, hated the idea of double locking trems! Great tunes, great instruments, great guy!

thanks very much civgeek for fixing the links. I tried to do that but the page would load into an error. Thanks once again.

I'm learning the tapping parts to Building the Church now. It will be good to show off in a music store :D

Joe: Hey there buddy hows recording? I cant wait to get my hands on the new album. So any heads up on when it will be released? Have a great day. Lots of love!

How is every body doing today?

The ski resort that is closest to me is going to open in a week! I cant wait. I will be up there every day this year! (hopefully)

have a great day every one!

Errr... Hi everyone - I'm new!! :D

As this is my first post, I guess I'd better introduce myself...

I'm Manek, I'm 15 years old, and I've been playing drums for 10 years now... I live in Norfolk, UK, and I'm part-British/part-Indian. I have now got an endorsement deal with a Czech drumstick company called Pellwood - [url]http://www.pellwood.com/?page=firma&lang=eng[/url] which I am very pleased about.

As well as the drums, I also play piano, clarinet and a bit of acoustic guitar (although only open chords, really, as I just can't play barre chords!!)

I hope to be a professional drummer later on in life. I am currently in a band, although we are looking for another rhythm guitarist atm so things are a little stagnant... We have got one recorded song, however, with the old rhythm guitarist which can be found here - [url]www.myspace.com/ultimatum00/[/url] - lyrics, tune and drum part all written by myself!! :)

Aside from drumming, I do school (which sucks atm, as I'm in year 11 and I've got GCSEs! :( ) sailing and table tennis. The table tennis is only a local thing, really... I started recently and I really enjoy it but I wouldn't imagine that I'm actually that good yet!! I play every lunchtime at school, though, so I'm improving all the time!! The sailing, however, is my serious sport!! I have just been selected for the British National Youth Squad, and if things work out well, I should be going to compete in the World Championships in Italy next year!!

At school I do Maths, English, Double Science and French (all of which I can't stand!!) along with Systems and Control, Applied ICT and Music (all of which I enjoy!!) When I go on to A-Levels, I'm going to take Music, Music Technology and ICT, and then after A-Levels I hope to do an apprenticeship with a recording studio.
