AWWWW...damn CAPT,,ummm STEVE ...IS IT REALLLY trueeeeeeee...I THINK IM GONNA CRY...although I think your comments are more than rude at times I might even miss the SHIT POT you stir...As a fellow HUMAN,,I wish you the best in what EVER vessel you comand. (somtimes Ive wondered)

Helloooooo Satchheads! lol

Ths is going to be brief cause it's 9pm and i need sleep!!..... I didn't get home from Yngwie till alsmot 1pm and worked OT today and I've got to be up at 5am tomorrow then head up to NYC for Yngwie Round 2...whew i'm a lil tired.

Thanks to all for my Birthday wishes!! I truly appreciate it. Thank you. It has been a most excellent Bday so far and I'm not done celebrating yet...hee-hee! Now I just need Steve Vai to email me back about my photos.......

Last night as I was walking up to club i see Yngwies Drummer. So I stop him & ask if he's his drummer....yup! Patrick introduces himself and so do I. We are chatting, mostly me talking....lol. Telling him about my G3 & Yngwie shows and I mention I'm going to the NYC show for my Bday. Well, both shows were for my Bday actually. So he says I have a present for you. We go around to the back stage entrace and he goes in an returns with a pair of drum sticks from another show or sound check ( they are beat up pretty good) He autographs them and also gave me a guitar pick. We talk for a bit more....I told him the G3-03 shows changed my life, he said "really?!" So I told him of my adventures after discoveing Joe. I'll be bringing some photos to show him and hopefully Yngwie before the show. (Yngwie didn't allow photos at the club but I'm hoping it's not the same for BB Kings....Even EJ allowed photos at BB's.) I went into the club & was standing in the 2nd row......Yngwie came on and I worked my way between the 2 in front of me........I was FRONT & CENTER 2 Feet from Yngwie the entire night!! I coulda touched him or the Dream Catchers on his Mic stand. OMG, what an amazing night!!! he kept tosing picks my way but I didn't try to catch em, I was just enjoying the show. I ended up with 3 picks & the 1st part of the set list as well as one of the strings he ripped outa his Strat. I had such a blast at this show, rocking my ass off.......I can't wait to do it again tomorrow with Ronnie!! I'll be ther early to meet up with Patrick and hopefully Yngwie too. We shall see, fingers crossed.

Capt Steve: Sorry I missed your post about Vai Anthology, It is simply AMAZING!! I love it, it totally ROCKS!! Take it with you on your Journey. Happy Christmas and safe travels! I will miss you. God Bless.

Welcome Davesat6 to the site!!!!

Sorry Marimari missed wishing you a happy birthday hope you had a good one!

Best Wishes to you too Captain Steve and ty

Happy Birthday Mari...sound like you had a great time at Yngwie's...and will again, lol!! :) Have fun on round 2!!

yeah, that guitar is wicked looking....almost hurts me to look at it, lol! How could someone take a beautiful instrument like a JS guitar and carve most of it away to create THAT? I'm not sure it's meant to be played either....it looks like it could *snap* in a stiff breeze!

Just watched Joe and Steve in the Harmony Hut video again....it's so fun to see them just jam together and enjoy themselves like that...would love to see more!

Awwwwww, it's snowing like there's no tomorrow here....MAJOR storm moved in on us tonight...just 2 days after the last one. I see lotsa more shoveling in my future, lol! But it's just incredibly beautiful out there, as it's coming down. Truly a winter wonderland...until I have to shovel and drive in it tomorrow that is!! Then it's gonna be "@$^)(#% SNOW!!!!" :)

*Sniff...............*sniff..........................*snuff.......the chat is so broken again. I can see that we need to start a support group for the "chat-bereaved"..... :(

peaceandguitars, yeah that's a fair point dude. I can understand why people didn't like him, though I personally thought he was quite amazing. I gotta say though, yes it's perhaps fair to say that he could have thought about how to tailor his performance to better suit his audience and context, but that would also defy the point of having him there in the first place.

It would be like hiring Yngwie Malmsteen and telling him just to play some blues all night....not gonna happen! haha. Does that make sense?

I think a large part of the problem was that more than half of the audience were people way too young to have a clue who Fripp is and what he's about, so they had no idea what to expect. They could have done their research though, so I think it's just narrow-mindedness that is the problem! Aaww I don't know.....:-p

962 - oh yeah Venus Isle is a pretty recent album... i've seen the video of the song being played live over at EJ's site, but the resolution is quite poor...

oh i missed the top list thingy.... but whatever ...

Joe Satriani Eric Johnson Steve Vai Michael Angelo Batio Yngwie Malmsteen Van Halen 962 - yeah! Rej - my sweeping, deathmetal friend Chris Impellitteri Alexi Laiho Pete Lesperance

and so on....

The Eagles' Don Henley says the band will return to the studio early next year to continue work on its long-awaited new album.

marimariSRV: Wow, that is waaaaay too kuul!!.... Glad you had a great time, we hope you get to meet YJM, and tell Ronnie we said YO!....

Zenfish: Yeah man, Sammy's era was a disappointment for me.... Even more was the return of Ed last year, and then hearing about how the \//-/ Tour fell apart because of him.... Somethings never change, but Ed is still young enough to prove us all wrong.... We shall see....

962: LOL Simon, 10C is about as cold as it gets here.... Sometimes we get into the low 6's, lol, that's when we wear our heavy jackets!.... In the winter, we get a northern wind chill (from the Mainland) that makes it feel colder than it really is.... Brrrrrrr, lol, we is spoiled!....

....Nitey Nite....

Tastey, hey girl, stick around! Everyone misses you here on t2j. Sorry things didn't work out. My sis I told you about a while ago also took a stand and split, and now she's much happier. You're a beautiful girl. There's somebody out there that will treat you the way you deserve to be treated. Take some time for yourself first. Things will look up soon. *hugs*

edit: Mikey, that guy was spankin' his own ass. lmao!! It gets funnier each time you watch it. I think I watched it about 4x last night till my belly hurt from laughing.

....Before I go.... ....A kuul dude posted this.... I never did realize how incredibly great Shawn Lane was not only as a guitarist, but as a person, until after his passing.... What a great loss.... Shawn Lane we miss you.... Jump past the intro cause it is crazy, lol (it's the ending clip of the tape), but jump to 25:28 min. and the song Get You Back and everything else he does will blow you away.... What a musical genius....

....Enjoy, and Nite....

SteveeT - Thanks. I'll let you know when it arrives. i assume your address is on the envelope to send you some love in return.

Mari - Very great. Looking forward to seeing you. I was up most of the night too - but for different reasons. We'll be tired but YJM will keep us awake. I can't wait. I'll get there around 5 I hope.

Mikey - "Yo" to you too.

Dan.........Wow your music is very good! Nice to see a fellow Canadian with so much telent..

GOOD MORNING ALL

Good Morning Satchland...... How R U ?

I was busy yesterday and I couldn't post. sniff.... Did you miss me? NAAAHHHH ! ! ! .....lol....

Mari..... Happy belated birthday my friend. You are something else. How do you get Yngwie to play on your birthday?...lol....Has Michelle given you some Macgyver tips?...lol....The power of women.....Well.....you have to respect that.....and I do. I'm glad you had a great time. I see you mentioned Yngwie's Dream Catcher. I was talking with Cuth about If Yngwie has this on his mic stand at each show. You certainly cleared that up. Cuth and I agreed your photo's are much better then the photographer he linked us to. Anyway I'm glad you had a great time. I think it's great you got to meet Yngwie's drummer( another Macgyver tip?) and got his sticks. That's really cool. I hope you hear from Mr. Vai. We're all pulling for you. Happy Birthday. Hugs to you.

cheese.....You're not wierd...but that guitar is. I agree with SupaDave. The string tension has got to have a bad effect on that guitar. It also has to sound very thin as there's no wood left for sustain. Also, who in there right mind would bastardise a JS model and reduce it to look like that ? That's crazy. Almost an insult to Joe. Do that to another guitar...But not a JS Model. What are people thinking sometimes? Take care. Hugs.

Angelina..... Thanks again. I'll keep you and Rick posted on the progress. I plan on adding new live material and video and photos from our shows to the site. This wont happen for a couple of months.....till the bands on it's feet. AAARRRHHH ! ! ! ! The important issue is ....I'm back in the saddle after year of searching and I'm really excited. Hugs to you and a handshake to Rick...lol.... Take care.

Danny K.... Nice work bro.Sherrie's voice is beautiful as is your guitar playing. What was it like playing at an award ceremony? That had to be a rewarding experience for you. Congrats and good luck to you.

Captain Steve....I most likely missed you but have a safe trip and good luck to you. See you in 4 months. Do ships have computers? hint.....Take care.

Kayla....How are you my dear? R U tearing up the mountain yet? Hugs to you.

Stevee T.... You got mail.... Take care my friend.

Michelle.....How about Steve Gadd? Steve's one of my favs. I share your guitar hero list. Take care( Macgyver girlie)...lol...Hugs to you.....

Hi Joe..... Anytime you want to let us know about the CD is fine by me....lol....Take care and thanks for sharing your gift of music with us. Your music truly touches our souls. Handshakes all around to the band and crew. Hugs to the family. Take Care.

Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! ! !

Joe: Hey man whats goin on? How is recording? Or are you guys done? Cant wait to get it! Love ya man! Have a great day!
