Hi, It's my first message here so i don't know wat goes arround. First i'd like to say that i'm started to listen to guitar music ( just started about 1 year) and i'm sure that Joe's music is the best of all. I have orded all the cd's of Joe and i find theme great!!! Even all the dvd's including The G3 with Steve Vai (also a master)are in my posesion. Is it true that Steve Vai had lessons from Joe? And second what do i have to do to get a signed photo of Joe? Please let me know,

Sorry for all the mistakes i have written

Wifey, you weren't belated. It was yesterday . Thanks!

roffler, I took some pics of Joe with different hats on. We alll know how he loves his hats. lol! Thanks for the bday wishes.

climber, 4 huh? Doesn't sound to bad that way. lol! I never mind saying my age. A lot of people never make it this far, so it's all gravy. Not to be a bummer, but when I was 28 with 2 small kids, my neighbor Brenda who lived across the street who was also 28 with 2 little girls passed away from cancer. Every year is a gift, and to be pissy about getting older is just silly (not that you were pissy at all, I'm just sayin'). The other option is not to get older, so I'd shout it from the mountains if I could. Do I wish I could look and feel like I did 20 years ago - hell yeah!! lol! No denying that! lol!

Joe Satrini, thanks. It's a great present - funny as hell too!

the NYC hot was hot in more than one way, we had the pleasure of Dave Martone's & Rob Balducci's company during the show.....great show Joe "Still Killer After All These Years"

If anyone going to the LA show wants to meet up ahead of time, drop me an email. I'll be leaving at noon or so tomorrow, so you have until then.

If not, find me in line and stop by and say hi. I should be there fairly early (4 p.m.?), and I'll probably be eating pizza from the Rainbow while I'm waiting.

thanks for the chat in the chat guys n gals twas good!

biezebaazeroadie - Yes, Steve Vai took lessons from Joe. I think the story goes that Steve and a friend took lessons together and split the cost - $5 or something like that. I think I remember reading that Steve wasn't even interested in taking guitar lessons, and the friend talked him into it. But Joe and Steve grew up in the same place in New York, and went to the same high school.

Best way to get an autographed photo of Joe? I assume the best way would be to meet him and ask him to sign one for you, but the easiest way would be eBay. Joe signs TONS of stuff for people, so the prices on eBay are usually pretty reasonable, as his autographs aren't really that rare.

gfonseca - Does your vinyl copy of Not Of This Earth have an etching on the record? I remember reading somewhere that Joe had some sort of inscription burned onto some of the records. Can't remember where I saw that, though.

Satriella - Yeah, fruit on the amp making it sound different?? Kinda strange...

Ever think to ask Johnny Winter to a G3? The man can shred some blues.

MICHELLE: Happy belated birthday....you rock dude
