Hi - this is my first post to Satriani.com. I've been a Satch fan since '87 when I first heard him and am happy to say I enjoy his music just as much now (if not more) than I did way back then when it completely blew me away. After seeing him probably 6 or 7 times I got a platinum ticket package for this year's show in April in Boston. As always a great performance, and it was a pleasure to briefly meet Joe and Dave Larue after the show.

harvestfields...welcome....

just a quick Hi to you Joe and every one...Joe nice interview in guitar one.....LOVED it and the pictures are awsome. Luv ya Joe

harvestfields - Hi...welcome to the site. :-)

Yeah, almost every concert tour has a stop in Los Angeles, which is nice. But the crowds here are worse than anywhere else in the country. Only in Los Angeles do I see so many non-music fans at a concert, chatting away on their cell phones or otherwise not caring about what's going on up on stage. Ugh...

I didn't really go anywhere, hehe... But starting a new job, finishing school, and taking care of some other personal things really sucked up all of my free time. So I haven't been able to hang around T2J all that often for the past year or so.

Hello great friends :-)) !!! I`m again at home :-)). Great weather here in Portugal, a little bit more fresh than in Madrid :-)) !!!

JOE: forgive me, i gave you only the box and no cd inside, i forgot it on my pc lol :-)), i only see that today. Thank you so much for everything.

MICHELLE - Thanks a lot for your message :-). About my photos i must confess that i`m a little bit desappointed with the results, but there`s a reason for that: No permission to take photos into the pit, close to the stage, only between the audience, a little bit far away and everybody was jumping, no conditions to do a great work, i tried to take the best photos that i could and i tried in first place enjoy the concert, and i did :-)) !!! Hope you are ok, say hello to all family :-). Kisses!

MARISRV - Dear Sea Eyes, later i send you something for you :-). Hope you are ok, and thanks a lot for your e-mail :-) ! Send me news when you can :-) !! Kisses dear Mari :-).

OVATION1 - No problem about the guitar Mikeyson :-). Thanks for your message :-). Yeah my friend, i`m very happy with the Joe`s message to me, it`s a huge honor :-)). I did a copy of my demo to give to Joe, but i only sent the box lol :-). I forgot the cd into the drive of my pc, i was thinking in Madrid :-))). No problem about it, next time i offer a real cd :-). Hope everything is ok with you and family in Okinawa :-)). All the best my friend, talk to you later :-)) !!!

SATRIELLA - Great work about VFROCKER, well done :-). The gift that i gave to Joe is a Jimi Hendrix in Pottery, limited edition, something very rare, my city (Caldas da Rainha) is known by is pottery and sweets :-). Hope you are ok, thanks for your e-mail :-).

ps YAY....I FINALLY GOT A PICTURE OF GALEN I CAN DRAW.....MY SET WILL SOON BE COMPLETE...WHOOPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alan...sounds real nice....nice Whammy work....

alexandrecaetano....glad to hear you had such a great time... Yes, the South Shore of Long Island, The Hamptons, Montauk Point, Fire Island....all great places to Surf.

D/\\/E: lol bro, thanks for the news on the Doc & Satch, and I didnt even know the Doc was in Japan to do the Udo Festival, lol, how do these guys do it, and btw, those guests for L.A.... I can see Pablo showing up with his new Instrumental release on the shelves soon!!.... Yeah baby!!....

Pablo states: There is more concentrated guitar power on this CD than any I have done. More screaming solos, more thunderous riffs, more wall-shaking chords, more imagination, more passion, more, more, more! ;-)

Zenman: What does the future hold.... As long as music has been evolving, it has taken many forms and shapes.... But it will be almost impossible to top what
/\/\r. /-//\LE/\/ did to the rock music genre.... With the way that electronica and technology have gotten in the way, people have become lazy (in that everything is done the easy way) in making and producing music.... What the future holds for us is more \//\I and Satch wannabe's.... We need an explosion, but I dont think were going to get it anytime soon, lol....

alexandrecaetano: Good to see your back home my friend! :-) And sorry to hear about forgetting the cd, lol, I can imagine the excitement trying to get ready, and not having everything ready :-( You will get a chance again my friend, and besides, he knows your music already from the T2J series, lol!! :-) Stay kuul Alex and have a great weekend in the ocean!!....

/\/\/\R|<: Now your going to have to tell me the L.A. show rumors, lol, am I right about Pablo?? hehe....

bahduh: Will get back to your mail later, and I love what Landis said when he got the yellow jersey back: When the yellow jersey is on the line, people get inspired. I think we all learned a lesson in persistence..... Yup, persistence pays off in any shape or form, and I pray for no mistakes in the last race.... What a Tour it has been, that comeback was amazing, but then the doping scandal has tarnished yet another sport, lol....

JOE!!! READ THIS: http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_PRODUCT_PAGE_EVENT&product=live_music_subcategory

This could radically change and SIMPLIFY your stage setup, as well as GREATLY DIMINISH YOUR TRAVELING COSTS!

It would also offer a better experience for not only the audience but also for you and the other musicians.

Hope it helps!
