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.

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

marimari: Well Mari, was one of those nights! 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

Soling?

Sorry chum, wot dat mean?

Does anyone knows if Joe uses a stock DS-1 Boss???

...I'm searching for a better tone for my DS-1, so I'm thinking in doing the Robert Keeley mods for this pedal...

...does Joe's DS-1 has any mod???

He uses it as main distortion or uses as a boost to the amp??

STEEVE T,,Ang & I got your cd yesterday,,,gave it a listen today,,,,very cool !! However,,,,,,,,everytime I started getting into a song,,it ended?? Most songs were like..45 secs or a bit more??

Was this a demo?? You know we respect your music & I do know by hearing,,FAKE DRUMS OR NOT,,,your TALENTED!! Just trying to understand the shortness of the songs,,NOW..the past two songs you wrote were on the same cd,,THEY were awesome..WE THOUGHT....

Correct me-us if were wrong,,are you commin out of a shell?? LIKE YOU SAID U CARRY UR HEART ON YOUR SLEAVE,,if thats the case,,very understandable..yet,,LET IT GO BRO,,stand up & ROCK YOU GERNOIDS OFF IN SPANDEX PANTS,,,NO NO ,,just kidding.

I think your on the right path Steeve..I love "HARVEST ICE"..very nice my funky brotha..nice beginning,,the bass & drums,,the leads are YOU dude,,NICEEE!!

Remember,,,We make the music for US,,& get THAT satisfaction,,,it is one thing YOU will ALWAYS have,,there are SO-CALLED,,"MUSICAL JUDGES" ,,that will give their opions that should mean LITTLE to us,,considering they dont even play,,or have OTHER talents that mean little to ANYONE but themselves,,You keep up the great work & satisfy you & those that love your music,,,but keep in mind you cant please everyone,,,DA & ANG

dakook...(no shell here, I'm full blown me, but I'm a laid back warrior) the CD is basically a demo...with a taste of each song until I felt my recording technology(20 bit...now 24 bit, 8 tracks...now 24) (which I now have) was up to speed. I put several full length songs of the original CD on it, and the 2 new ones. As an artist, and don't get me wrong I have balls of steel & can afford to wear my heart on my sleeve, I am sensitive, and the more sensitive I am the more I can emote life's feeling's through my music whether it be sadness, or joy & everything in between.

The Triton has a mighty selection of samples that exceed most live kits...playing the kit individually uses up valuable recording Real Estate which I'm now doing for a more natural feel...not a preset. As I said earlier the reason this Demo has only about a minute of each song is because I want the finished product to be something to be proud of. Funny, I've got 2 more albums worth of material, but I love moving on to the next song...so I'm at my own mercy, and no record company to answer to, or pick up a paycheck from either....lol...thanks for listening & your support, and your opinion. If I pleased everyone...that means the ones with bad taste too...rotflmao...1st I've got to please my sorry ass...lol

OK,,COOL..you keep it up dude,,YOU WARIOR YOU!! Lookin forward to the next one,,TRUST ME,,soon you will have one of mine,,

OH!!,,you didnt sign it??....NP there,,lol

Joe: How was your day buddy? I hope that it was better than mine. I had a great time snowboarding but before that and after that it was bad. I had such a wonderful time snowboarding. The ski resort is going to open in about a week... I am so excited its crazy. There is so much snow up there. Lots of freshys too. I was doing so many carves and it was fun. Fresh powder is the best. I think. So when you snowboard, do you like jumping better or just cruzing through the trees? Well have great night. Lots of love.

How was every ones day?

Have a great night every one.

cube..."I wore pants today!!"..............

errrrrrrr DUDE. What do u normally wear if not pants ....skirts?? culottes? pedal pushers? CLAM DIGGERS? MINI SKIRT???

...........the mind boggles........ and reels..................
