Clarky, you really put some stank on those chops!! lol!

what? English??

Clarky, You're a fine musician. lol!

Great stuff man!!

Hi Joe, "how you doin" - spending some missed time with the family I hope - nothing more important than that for anyone!! But between that I hope your getting down to some more stonkin tunes for us to enjoy. Did you go to Carle Place High School?

anyone ever been to a school re-union? They are the weirdest things, you see all these faces that you recognise but they're all grown up and ... oh it's too hard to explain how weird it is, you just have to do it. it's good if you can do it at the school you went to though, all the classes look just the same but seem to be in minature and it just brings back so many memories. (even if they were many moons ago!!)

962 - Can you download your songs onto a CD from the site you provided? I'm such a novice at this new technology stuff?

Delfino - Totally agree with the fire alarm thing - ours met its demise quite a while ago - hope you've warmed up now!

Blue Moon - Be honest your picture doesn't quite compare to Mari's cool shots - but hey at least it shows you were there, which is more than some of us. thanks for postin it though

Phyrdom - SAD!! Pick up a guitar instead!

Dean Gaspardo - listened to your tunes - Welcome home is very mellow, liked Tuff. Thanks for puttin the link on - keep it up. ZENFISH - YOU SPOKE TO ME!!!! I thought you hated me after your first post to me about the broom and all (thought you were implying I was a witch or something), thought I had more chance of getting a reply from Joe - Well, you've made my day now - thanks. Do you know how deep you are though? Your actually deeper than deep thought - did you come up with 42 as well? I hope you do do great things with the other great guitarists in here, count me and Captain Steve out though, we are talentless - well I say that, I could do a pencil portait of Joe on the front cover of your album of Satchfan music, I am good at that!

js1200-js100 - by the way meant to ask - will your nickname get longer the more guitars you get? :)

Oh - Dinners gonna burn if I don't go!!

Hi to anyone I missed hugs and love

SuppaDave...it's beautiful up there....but, I'm partial to young gals in bikini's....lol...warm weather helps in the cause....

Clarky...finally a format that does your music justice.... sounds great...listening to it all right now....very, very impressive....

Zenfish...you mad at joe?

Joe Satriani...are you working on any new guitar techiques these days....? Not that you need to....lol

js1200js1000 - EH cheeky, i did say the dinner was about to burn, I was in a hurry OK - we wouldn't want Delfino's alarm to go off again now would we eh? COOKIN EH!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is on crack..

Zenfish...I believe Joe earned his Ivory Tower...if we the fans had our way...we'd all live with him....lmao...I'm happy when he shows up...!

STATEMENTS BY A WISE MAN?

"One of the great dangers of transformational work is that the ego attempts to sidestep deep psychological work by leaping into the transcendent too soon. This is because the ego always fancies itself much more ‘advanced’ than it actually is."

The Tibetan teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, warned of the trap of spiritual materialism. He says we must be ever diligent to spot the ego’s use of the spiritual journey to further its own ends.

We may think it’s spiritual to yearn for divine connection. And yet, if the longing is to fill an emptiness inside, just how does this differ from the one who yearns for money or possessions to fill the inner void? Do we look to our spiritual practices as proof of our evolved consciousness or as protection against fears?

Any time we use spiritual disciplines to maintain our identity and security, we are not yet on the path of genuine spiritual development.

"Enlightenment is ego’s ultimate disappointment."

Hello Steve

I assume you refer to the Zenmeister's post 1633 at 11:45:37

If so, his 1632 at 2:15:22 may shed a bit of light.

Hi Joe,,,

This is Kivanc; Steve Vai will come Istanbul/TURKEY at 18th November 2005 ..have you ever plan to come here ???

Joe just got my G3 Live in Tokyo CD & DVD the performance is outstanding as always, the G3's just get better and better. Hope the new CD is coming along, but save some energy for a UK tour we miss you. Hey Joe do you remember live and kicking, i found and old video tape out with your 10 top tips.....ha if only i could play until the next time stay safe.

Joe/Webmaster Jon,

I may have missed a post,so this could be a repeat question, but when will the 'G3 Live in Tokyo' CD and DVD be available in the UK.

My local record shop advises me, via their Sony rep, sometime next year.

This is too long to wait.

Please advise.

Cheers.

I wouldn't say I was talentless, I just don't play a musical instrument!

I do happen to have a unique talent but there are far too many innocent eyes reading these pages to go into details!

Keep rocking,

Satriella, thanks for your interest! yeah, you could download all the tunes and put them on a CD, but they'd only be MP3's, which wouldn't sound as good as real wave audio tracks which is what the originals are.

MP3's are compressed to make them smaller file sizes which is great for downloading and sharing, but the compression means a loss in quality.

Joe

Mr T. & Zen

Steve, fair enough, in my job though, I deal with many peeps who speak English as a second language. As such I can understand that when they are conversing in what is to them a foreign or second language, their emphasis and intention can be misunderstood.

My understanding of the Zenmeister's post was that if you (Joe) don't want to answer my post, we are going to have a go anyway.

I like the idea of the Symphony.

Zenny, correct me if I am wrong.

Rock on Steve, and if you are able to arrange real drums to accompany your excellent guitar playing I would be more than happy to listen and spread the word!

Thanks for the congrats peeps, onward!

mikesb:I,m still laughin at YJM,s reponse to what he heard, thanks for that, he has such a strong character, theres only one Yngwie, lol

Clarky: Will have a listen tom bro, ears, eyes & bod are completely dead, 2 days without sleep, it would be foolish to listen i should say hear yer hard work right now, i,m looking forward to it, laters bud

I left 1 hour into Vais set after listening to Eric cause the sound was..... lets say gremlins were having a field day, my friend told me it improved later, but i had t go, i,ve no doubt its a hard venue to mix ...but i,ll be listening to Dr Vai & Satch somewhere else in Spain please great spirit, pity they cant make Raz as good a sounding venue as they can build a cathedral here, but there y go, i got the contract, i got t go t the gig so 2 out of 3 aint bad darlin

Zen: You make me laugh Mr Fred, ok, i,m currently working with what little time i have to write a second album, so my hands are pretty much tied with future plans....however....i do have a piece of music i learnt in Uzbekistan from Sogdiana that might lend itself to the world music idea you had in mind, i,ll rec that this weekend & post it to y.Good luck with all your dreams & Yo blue...warning!!! dont forget J when y get caught up in your shit ok! lol its easy done bro
