michelle, sorry to hear about your daughters friends mom that sucks

Death is a sad thing...

Linda Reeve just recently passed and is now with Christopher, they left behind their son 13 years old.

WEBMASTER - You no what would be good? If we could have this bit, ie the post message bit on a kind of split screen so that we could still see the other messages at the same time...then we can answer people without having to keep writing it all down. Just a thought for the next time you are not busy....HAH I hear you cry...your having a laugh!

gruskada - wow sounds like you got a lot of work to do on Joe, but wow what a great virtual biography you will have when your done....post it ALL on here please I got loads of unansweredd questions...just not much time to find the answers to them all. Why are you doing this again for yourself or a forced school project or something?

phyrdom - Oh shame you couldn't get into chat...there were 10 of us in there last night/this morning/this afternoon? (4 hours ago) would av bin great to have you there too! Is the wife back yet...how did the drive etc go?

Plum Loco - sorry to hear bout your aunt...one thing that affects all young, old any country any race....death of a loved one and pain!

Course happiness affects us all too and most importantly around these here parts.....JOE!

Hugs Satriella xx

Hi Joe ! I Love You Man ! Your "Brother John" is the best song that I have ever heard... Excuse me if I cant speak english well... I have 2 questions : 1 - if you're still using your DS-1 distortion ?

2 - In Extremist song, what is your distortion pedal ? DS-1 ? or another ?

You must know mr. Satriani : in Iran you have too many fans...

Life is a precious gift. Today is the present. ;-) Make each day count......I'll be doing my best.

Satriella - I'm just a crazed fan, I guess (at least I see I'm not alone though, Gotta Have Joe! :-)). I was inspired by reading the book on every Beatles song, "A Hard Day's Write". After reading that book, I enjoyed listening to the Beatles songs even more than I already did. I wanted to be able to do the same type of thing for Joe.

Joe's got such awesome song names, and it's just so cool to find out what Joe ws thinking when he came up with some of them (like Luminous Flesh Giants - (quoted from Joe from a chat transcript) "That's in a similar vein to Flying In A Blue Dream or Surfing With The Alien. It's a combination of Dreams and half-hearted humorous day dreams about aliens, giants and monsters. I use that as a mental theme to get my musical point across.")

BTW, does anyone know Dutch? I did a Babelfish translation of this page, and still couldn't make heads or tails of it. I think one of the things they are saying is that Belly Dancer took 10 years to write?

Just found this resource: Google Book search: "satriani" Joe Satriani is mentioned in a SQL Server book! Cool. I've yet to comb through most of it, though.

Hey Joe,

I'm Jean-Michel, management for BUMBLEFOOT here in Europe.As I see you both come in France, in the same time. Maybe something to do?How can I contact your management? Thank you very much All the best

gotta have Joe & achoo

Thanks for the kind words

Plum Loco

I am very sorry to hear about your aunt. Go visit her - keep her in your prayers. Make lasting memories.

mthead101

You have my deepest sympathies for your parents and brothers. Geeze - you have experienced quite a bit.

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

Sometimes I come across things to post that are just timeless and on time. I just received that one a few hours earlier.

Beautiful story cuth. Geez, I'm gonna run outta tissues. *sniff* My Grammy got to meet my daughter. She was 3 months old when Grammy died. She held her on her lap, but she wasn't strong enough to hold her in her arms. I'm so blessed that I got to share my first pregnancy with her, and she was around to meet my daughter. She even helped me pick her name. I had two names for a girl. One was Melissa. Grammy didn't like that one because it reminded her of Joan River's daughter. lmao! She liked the name Erin because it was a nice Irish name. I gave her the middle name Caitlin, which means Catherine - the name of my Grammy, and my husband's Grandmom. I love my daughter's name because it means so much to me. She also didn't want me to use the name Zachery Taylor if it was a boy. She didn't like that President, even though the name had nothing to do with him. lol! That old bird was a real pip! I still used the name Taylor for my son's middle name, just to give Grammy a poke on the other side. lol!

Great guitar work Steve , love the groove's, sound like Stu on the bass as well. Wow.....

Hey Joe, (Where you goin with that guitar in your hand?)

Ive just recently introduced my 15 year old son to your music. He's been playing guitar for a couple of years now, but his level is like he's been playing for about 4 or 5 years. Got a natural on my hands here. He was completely blown away after I showed him the G3 DVD with you, Steve and Yngwie (Who?) Anyhow, he insisted on needing an Ibanez guitar after that. I happened on a JS 100 at a pawn shop and bought it for him right then and there. Needless to say, the kid was elated, and now the guitar has become part of his DNA. We wanted to know what your input was as far as the spec's of this guitar, and if there are any upgrades you can reccomend if there are any needed at all. It sounds amazing already, and the condition of the guitar is excellent. Keep rockin man, and we will see you in Kansas City next month !!

Hi Joe! I'm kind of new in this, but it shure would be great to hear from you sometimes (is there really a chance to hear from you personally?). It wuold be my dream come true to experience your live gig sometimes. I'm a huge fan of yours, not much of a player (but I do try). Planning a trip to Europe this year? I come from Croatia, a small country in Europe (near Austria, Germany, Italy), I've been dreaming for ages to see you and hear you play live, but never acctually had a chance to do so. If you decide to send me an email, don't hesitate, I would gladly answer to any of your questions.

mthead101 - Thank you again for your kind words, you really have had more than most to complain about or be sad about but you remain upbeat...thank you for being you....SLAM-A-TOCIOUS Hug fella...Oh and yeah give portraits a go...you never know I may do you next....so beware!

cuthbert1776 - Aww what can I say...very touching...I take it that it was quite recent as it still makes you cry...sorry hunny!

gruskada - Yay what a great idea, I'm sure you (and me - hehe) will get lots of information from everyone on here...they are a very helpful and knowledgable bunch...though much of the information may have lost its source by now...if you know what I mean...you read something or hear Joe tell something at a meet and greet...but knowing where you heard it years later can be difficult! But it would be great to get a T2J book together...like the two CD's that have been done....hmmm go for it mate! ummm babelfish as in Hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy?

962 - Answer to guitar world Q is ?????? brrrrr chilly

Take care all
