Slansh & Satriella - thanks for the Star Wars posts: Magic!

Here's an old one for you in return...

Hi Satriella! Your drawing is great :)))

I'm not "VF Rocker", but "ptRocker":)) But your draw makes no mistakes!

I'll send you my address on a email, if you don't mind to send me the original drawing...

Once again, thanks a lot!!! :)))

I think this was the first time I was ever drawn so this is a very special drawing to me!

Hi all,

now that I had the time I'd like to share my impressions about the Madrid concert:

It was great! :)))) Joe's is definetely in a tremendous shape!!!

I was very close to him during the first two thirds of the concert and could enjoy every detail he was playing! The sound was very good as well and his guitar never lost definition.

The rythm guitar was perhaps too low.

The bass and drums were incredible. Great quality sound! I loved Jeff's playing, very smily, very cheerful, very contagious...

He kick-off with "Flyin'" and it still amazes me how he's able to control all those feedbacks, specially in that high C in th middle. But he played it just like the record. Awesome! The crowd reacted accordingly...

"The Extremist" followed. The guitar was too loud so you couldn't hear the harmonica solo that well :S But the solo was amazing! :))

To me, the next highlight happened with "Super Colossal", with Joe showing great pride in his new guitar! :D Who wouldn't? The sound was exactly like the record!

As always expected, "Always with me, always with you" is still with me! That's my favourite satch song and Joe didn't let me down... This time he played it with an extension ending. It sounded great! :)))

"Surfing with the alien" surprised me since I wasn't expecting so many songs from that album but when he left after this song, I knew he had to came back! :))) "Crowd Chant"?

Indeed!!! "Crowd Chant" was fantastic! The audience knew exactly what to do and I loved the full arranged version with bass and drums. When the song was ending I remember telling my girlfriend: "There's still Summer Song missing!"

And he ended exactly with one. Somehow I knew this was the last, simply because he had already played all the most significant ones. I hoped he could play "Friends" but it was over :(((

Those two hours passed by so quickly!

My only remark is that Joe probably could have let the other musicians have a little more space... I think Dave LaRue was the only one to solo during the entire show...

Alexandre: foi pena não termos conseguido beber uma caña! Eu cheguei a Madrid atrasadíssimo e quando cheguei já o primeiro número tinha começado (já ía em stress com a possibilidade de perder o mister) Mas foi excelente, não foi? ;) Quando tocares aqui perto, avisa! Eu vou estrear a minha banda de originais daqui a poucas semanas na Arruda dos Vinhos.

Campbell: Welcome to the site! You will make many friends here. I myself am trying to relearn the guitar after MANY years of not playing. I am not even trying to be as good as Joe. I am just trying to learn to be a good rythmn player who can throw in the odd fill here and there.

Again, welcome to the site.

Thanks Joe !! I was in Nîmes last Saturday, just in front of you. Hearing your amazing guitar, I kept a big smile on the face during all the show !! You play with great pleasure, we listen to you with great pleasure !! A bientôt. Franck

Hello Mr. Satriani,

I'm a 23 years old drummer, my name is Luca and I'm from Italy. I watched the G3 dvd's and I saw that in every gig U invite a new guitar player so I'd like to ask U: " with all the great guitar players that U invited, did U ever thought to invite also Toto's guitarist STEVE LUKATHER on a G3? " At my opinion He's an amazing musician and I'm sure that it could be a great gig with him.

SATRIELLA- Thanks, I hope so anyway!! I have a good feeling about the job :)

PHRYDOM- Think Myspace is back up now, at least it loaded the page just now.

SLANSH- Thanks, we are looking forward to visiting Barcelona... not too long now! Are you off on holidays soon?

ZEN- Got your mail, Matt will reply later:)

GROWLER- lol :) Actually I think "Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's best film, although I am a huge fan of all his films, particularly loved Kill Bill Vol 2. He really has the talent to incorporate such fitting soundtracks to all his films, they always seem so perfectly suited to the moment. That is some cool information about Pam Grier! I have also always thought it a big shame about how Natural Born Killers turned out... should have used Quentin's screenplay and let him direct it! :)

Not sure if this Joe interview has been posted or not? If not, enjoy!
