I've been away for a while and I am trawling thru 40 pages of posts !!!! So these replies are to older posts…..

Check out some Mahavishnu Orchestra.

COSMIC APE

If you are recording guitar in to a PC you need to get a small mixer such as a Behringer UB 1002 and a noise gate if using overdrive. You can record straight into sound forge or you can get Guitar pro 7. The mixer and noise gate you can get for under $200. Guitar pro is not that expensive either. I use this set up and I use a pod line six. I record my stuff into sound forge. I arrange all my tunes in Reason 3.

DELFINO PIE

You gotta twist the truth a little. If you see a job you know you can do advertised you have to arrange your CV to suit the job. It's how you sell yourself at the interview and you have to convince the guy that you are the person he's been looking for. If its been a while since you've worked (over 6 months) that can go against you as well so you tell them you've been on training courses or you've been travelling around the world.

MASTER YODA

A broken leg didn’t stop The Tubes front man cavorting about the stage with a chainsaw. He didn't realise he busted his leg until after the show !! You know the old saying the show must go on…….

SUZIE 2000

Imagine Yngwie Malmsteen and David Hasselhoff having a love child !!! THE HORROR…….

CAPTAIN STEVE HOW YOU DOING BUD ?

CLARKY HOWS TINGS ?

I can not believe they have remade The Omen just cos of the 6/6/06 date this year. The soundtrack of the original first two films were awesome and the story is one of the best. Its like getting Britteny Spears to cover Stairway to Heaven. They must be running out of ideas. It just can't be happening....

Hi all,

Joe ... love the new cd ! I liked it the first time I heard it and can't wait to see you live in Belgium next month.

To the others ...

UncleScorp,

I have a Boss GT-8 but don't know it in deep detail. In my case, there's only one amp that produces a slightly satch-like sound (I think it's the Marshall imitation - see the manual which one is it) but I play with a Strat. Other guitars may have completely different results.

TEN WORDS

HEY JOE,

WHAT WIRELESS SYSTEM DO YOU USE/ RECOMMEND FOR GUITAR? GETTIN'S TIRED OF TRIPPIN ON CABLES.

THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN IN ATLANTA! i WISH WE COULD HAVE CHATTED ABOUT GUITAR FOR A FEW HOURS, BUT ALAS YOUR MANY ADORING FANS WERE WAITING IN THE WINGS.

HAVE A GREAT TOUR! YOU AND THE BAND ARE BETTER THAN EVER.

YOUR FRIEND,

Hey gang,

CroNumber9 - Yeah man, I finally heard back from Mike over at soundaid.org, who is working on getting my profile set up. Should be on there within a few days... will keep you posted on that!

Satriella - Got your email... I checked out your latest drawing of Joe... excellent work!! And no, I'm not a builder by trade, but I can get by... with a little help. :) I have some friends helping me build the new studio so it shouldn't be as difficult as it would be, otherwise.

Joe - Keep rockin' man... you must be exhausted already.

Hi to everyone! Firstly, thanks a lot for read this message.

I would like to make a proposition....

Can you imagine a G3 with Richie Kotzen??? I think it's a very good idea (better than Yngwie, hohoh), so think about it and if it's possible....do it!!! Oh! I'm a guitar player from Seville (Spain), so if this proyect can be possible, please make a gig in Southern Spain (Seville, Huelva, Cadiz). This proposition it's for you too, JOE!!! I would like to see you again in Seville or near of it (I was in "Guitar Leyends" Festival in Seville '92).

PS. I don't recommend "Industrial Copera" in Granada, because is a very small hall (and it has the wrost design of spaces I've never seen before).

Thanks for your attention, and excuse me for my poor english.

Sincerely,

Satriella - I don't think I could possibly better your creative talents.

Sanctuary Records will release a DVD Anthology for Bruce Dickinson called easily enough The Bruce Dickenson Anthology.

My top ten favorite Joe Satriani songs at the moment are…

------------------------SUMMER SONG---------------------

theres something about this song, that just drives me crazy. in a good way though. This song is so incredible. Maybe its the harmonics you do, maybe its the "words".....maybe its just cause its your song Joe. This song, (just like all your others) is WONDERFUL! very fun. Makes me wish i lived back in The Extremist days so that i coulda been on the video :D. This song is a 100 from a scale of 1 to 10.

-----------------------WHY----------------------------------

This song is just completely unexplainable. Its the answer to so many things. In a very unexplainable way. haha. i can hear the words "im wondering why, im wondering why, im wondering why.....but then theres it has to be this way......BUT, i already know the answer. It just stairs me in the face.

anyway....just had to through that out there...haha.
