dark ripper: I wonder that too.

Keniko, haha, that's agreat story about EJ. He's definitely the man! If you haven't seen any of the videos available to download from his website you should check them out! It is definitely my lifetime ambition to meet him and tell him he is a proper genius! hehe

Do you live in the US, or Europe, or somewhere else? :-p

Dark Ripper: Maybe it means Smell My Feet to all those peeps y read about that spread crap, then again friend, i,ve no idea either

Hi Joe, Have you ever thought of being a bit more ambitious with G3 and making say G6. There are so many talented guitarists around. What's the most you've played with at one time? Have lots of kids, their great, I'm sure they would be great guitarists too with you as dad.

962 - HAZZARD WARNING! Your train of thought was way off. It was awake. You'll have to give me a rating in comparison to the other albums now. With regard to Eric Johnson I may well go for the Venus Isle album - Just out of interest - any singing on that? Talking of singing, you have to help, with something that is driving me mad. I have asked before but I'm hoping you didn't see the post and you were in lurk mode. The question is - Troy has this song called "Platypus by Platypos" (or vice versa) and if that's not Steve Vai talking/singing and playing guitar, then I'll never darken this site again, no wait, that's a bit rash uuuummm I'll never judge any music again, no wait, that's a bit rash, no wait I'm SURE it's him, but my son says it's not, well you have to rise to the challenge, don't you!! I've checked out Vai's site - nothing. I've checked out Platypus on google, well you can guess what I got for that - help prove me right - You, oh deep thought, you must know the answer!!!

Guitarmeister - As you see above the album Troy has is Awake, I think I will probably go for the new Suspended Animation album, I like to hear the guitar nice and clear, not have to strain my ears past singers, although having said that, I do like Joe's voice, but he has the perfect mix of guitar and voice. Vai's not too bad either. I have to say that I was amazed at the discography of DT, they've done loads - confused.com.

Blue Moon - Well your bound to get weird things appen with a name like blue moon aren't you - you've only got yourself to blame!!! Seriously that is pretty freaky though. It happens so often though doesn't it? I was emailing a bloke, John from here a couple of weeks ago, I was telling him that the first gig I'd ever gone too was to see Motorhead (I was only 12!) at the Hammersmith Apollo, anyway I walked into the front room and the programme Rock School was on (it's a prog about Gene Simmons from Kiss trying to get these posh kids to be rockers) - Gene Simmons was just introducing the kids to Lemmy and guess where they were? Go on ...you'll never get it..Oh all right, it's dead easy - - they were at the Hammersmith Apollo!!!!!! Aaaaaghh Freaky.

Anyone else got a similar story to tell???

Clarky - gutted, skinned and hung out to dry!!!!! Poor thing

Delfino - got your soundclick in my favourites but haven't had a chance to listen yet - get back to you soon with my thoughts.

Death cube K- Still tryin to listen to yours too, can't seem to get the sounds now - YES the speakers are turned on!! DAAAAA By the way I think a name explain is in order? No not Rusty!!!

Michelle - Hi sweety, good to hear from a fellow gally! I know what you mean, It's quite hard trying to keep up with this lot, especially with Zen's symphony goin on!

Zenfish - Gold Star for you, this is taking some organizing - your the man!!!

Everyone else - Listen to the man and if you can help with my query please do - thanks

Big hugs Satriella xx

Hey I feel old! That post about 'what does S.M.F stand for??

It was bout 6 years ago when that same question used to be posted on here time & time again. I think it means Sweet M***** F***er............

You've got to try this 20 questions game- so addictive!

Keniko sorry to hear that Cindy was sick glad to hear that she is feeling better!

cuthbert1776 Thanks for the info. I heard from others that Yngwie didn't take the stage until about 10. I'm mainly going to just see Yngwie, I'd like to check out the bands that go on before him, but I don't want to stand that long. I was just at a show this weekend, I had seats (very close too)...4 bands played, it was about 5 hours long, I went with my brother, he got tickets just to see the main band, which was Him. I'm not really a big fan of them, but they were really good live, really good. Back to Yngwie...how many stacks did he have on stage? I've been to some really loud shows before, and I'm expecting Yngwie to be pretty loud. The place isn't that big, the stage isn't that huge either, if there was enough room for Vai to play there, there should be enough for Malmsteen, but I don't think he'll be able to be throwing his guitar around his body every few riffs. I probably won't leave until around 7 (doors open at 7, that's what the ticket says), and it should take maybe an hour to get there, probably less. Next Wednesday.

962 I already have all of those DT CD's... I was just out today and picked up Octavarium and LaBrie's solo album (which is really heavy.) Thanks anyway.

Michelle: I hope you are feeling better Sweetie! I posted a mesage to you last Sunday I think, from JBLaze....he called me Sat night and had a special "Hello to Michelle" I'm sorry it was 1 of the posts you missed........I know you have more important matters to attend to..... (I hope your Mum is doing well, I know you've been sick as well. ) Good Vibes and well wishes to you both. I hope you & yours have a great Thanksgiving Holiday!! God Bless. I hope to see you soon......

Hi Joe last friday Steve VAI was in Turkey/Istanbul It was just a great show. But everybody in the concert was talkin about their passion to see SATRIANI in Istanbul. It mustn't be that hard for you to be here ha? You have got real fans here!Don't let us be FORGOTTEN! By the way your nickname become MASTERIANI here ;). Please add Turkey to one of your tour list. I promise you will see the enough interest here and you will love Turkey!

I need the name of a show I used to watch way back. It was a bunch of punk british guys all living in one crusty house, and I think one of the guys names was Adrienn or something. It was a comedy type show. Wait - it just came to me...I think it was The Young Ones....... Lemme Google that...

HA! Yep, that's it! Gotta see if they have that on DVD. Good stuff. lol! ha! It wasn't Adrienn, it was Vyvyan. lmao! So close, and yet so far.

And the complete set is on DVD :)

You may now return to your regularly scheduled program...
