Joe,

Zinc Master.. Anytime my friend..anytime!!! Yes i've most definately had my share of lifes wondermentand i'm still awed by the irony we call life.. true my loss was profound but, even though mom and dad are gone i feel truly blessed and so very proud to have had such beautiful people i can call mom and dad ( angels on my shoulders). The irony we call life the epitomy being that were all born to die.. so remember its what we do in our life thats truly important..so at the chance of sounding redundant.. be strong for yourself and those around you thats what it means to be a man.. thats whats important and of that we can be proud... hold your head up high my friend.!! MT

MARKYBOY.......THANKYOU ..THANKYOU... GREAT NEWS ABOUT THE UK DATES I'M GONNA BOOK MINE FOR THE APOLLO NOW !!!!!! JOE........THIS IS SO GREAT...I'M GOING TO SEE YOU AGAIN AFTER AUSTIN TEXAS.

Satriella - "though much of the information may have lost its source by now" - yeah, I'm running into that a lot. There's a lot of good info, though, and I don't see a reason why people would lie, so I think I'll take the info and make a note next to it, something like, "told to T2J member 'Satriella' at a meet and greet" or something like that.

Ok, now I'm forced to post more song info! From an old bio here at Satriani.com (http://www.satriani.com/2000/about/bio/): "Champagne?" is a solo treatment of suspended chords as popularized by Keith Richards.

I love that piece - almost killed my speakers by turning it up too much!

i just would like to say it's good to see that you have success mr. satriani, you're very talented. it's a shame though once you have 131.000 members registered in your site,it's very likely you will never read my few posts directed to you .nevertheless ,i wish you happiness and good health for you and to yours joe satriani

Satriella - You can open two windows in your browser. One on the post page and one on the board and toggle between the two. Also, if you are going to have a long post, write in MS Word and then paste it into the post window. This way if you are over the character limit your post won't end up in cyber-space purgatory.

civgeek - sounds like snow is a good excuse for a day off?

After going through a number of interviews, I've noticed that Joe gets asked these questions (or variations of them) just WAY too much:

- what happened to your hair? will you ever grow it back? - what do you think about the future of guitar? - what was it like teaching Steve Vai, Kirk Hammet, etc.? - how did you get started playing guitar?

I don't know how Joe has the patience to keep answering these, but I guess it could really backfire on him if he said something like, "geez - I've answered that 50 times - do your research! What's the matter with you!!"

The only thing I've so far seen that's close to that is when Joe was asked if he could be trusted to play the blues (around the time of the Joe Satriani album). Joe basically said (not a direct quote), That's such a strange question. What kind of question is that??

I think he just usually gives really short answers if he doesn't like the question.

He also gets asked something like "Who are you listening to now" quite a bit, but this is a good question, as Joe listens to a lot of cool stuff, and he usually gives a different answer.

I was wondering why you're bald. I'd probably listen to you if you had long flowing locks, like back in the day. I may consider going to see you in concert if you were even to wear a wig and possibly remove your sunglasses. I can't say wether you are good or bad at the guitar becuase I have been put of your music due to your intense baldness.

Anyway what I'm trying to say is to grow some hair or, failing that, look yourself out a hairpiece. Don't mean to be harsh but it's how I feel with this matter.

My friend "Spud Turkington" really digs you though and I'd be interested in listening your music if only I could be sure it was recorded by a guy with cool hair.

To Webmaster -

G3 if Eddie Van Halen

thanks

ok...usuay ill post Joe first but i saw baldy_feck's post and i had to say somethin bout it first... Ok dude....Joe looks KILLER with no hair, even with hair he looks killer but, Joe looks AWSOME with no hair...and whats wrong with his glasses, those things kicks arse. Really man, like Csillag said, save youself the embarasment. Seriously dude.

Joe- how are you man? Dont worry, you look awsome with no hair :D. oh...i got an important question for ya, do i scare you? PLEASE let me know every one tells me i do...but you know, they cant speak fer you but i jus wanna know from you.Hows the family and the band? Joe, you are my super hero! i like on the front of GW how you got the little surfingin with the alien thing in your glass lense...thats awsome. Have a wonderful day! luv ya! HUGGSS to you and the family!

ok...you guys know the page in Guitar world were it says Super Hero? ahah, on my phone, i got a picture of Joe and the part that says hero as my background!

Zinc- any time man, i know what it feels like to loose someone you love, it hurts bad, heck, i watched this guy pass away, hope you get better soon :)

Baldy_Feck You are an IDIOT! What the hell does having hair or not have anything to do with anyones ability to play guitar, or even do anything else!? I don't think anybody cares if you don't go see Joe on tour just because you will only see him if he puts a wig on and takes off the sunglasses... You are totally unbelievable! You do not deserve to be a fan after saying what you said. Do yourself a favor and never post anything up on this website again, especially if it's going to be as pathetic, lame, pointless, and just stupid like your 1st post!

-There you go everybody...according to Baldy_Feck, change is not good at all and wearing sunglasses and hair plays a huge role in how good you are at something! And no, I'm not sorry for going off on this moron, @sses like him need someone to attempt to straighten them out. Almost forgot...what a loser!
