Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows the availability of the new album / dvd package in Australia..........is it out yet (i know the album is) and if so where from ?? Checked JB etc and dont know anything about it yet

heeeey...I just found this pic of Joe playing at a Nascar event in the gallery....it's prolly been there awhile...but when was that taken? And was Tom Arnold a big goof in person?

Oooo and the fan art section has expanded once again, I love the "Little Satchies" near the end of the page, LOL!!

Just got the new album!!!!

Heeeeey! Dat not no john riccio I know!! Who dat??

Hi all,

I've posted another cover on my myspace site. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

I gave "Flying in a Blue Dream" a shot, I haven't played it in a while, and since Joe signed the keyboard on Wednesday all I've been doing is making covers for the last week.

I'm using a Korg Karma keyboard, with an overdrive guitar sound to mimic the lead guitar, and I'm playing along with a backing track.

I'm playing by ear, and it may not be as crisp as others playing this, but I think I did ok. Come check it out on my site, and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Has anyone seen the G3 show with Billy Gibbons ?

I've read Joe's comment about it somewhere and seen also a lil' painting Billy offered to Joe on a video...

Is there any bootleg recording of this somewhere ?

Joe : your last album sounds to me like something which says "go back to the riff". The compositions are very minimalist, reduced to the minimun. & this inspired to me an album's title: Bare Bones.

Do the Stu :

Nice Michael Manring's performances. I didn't know. The guy gets a brilliant tone & technics.

Stu gets lot of class, yeap.

Pastorius, as Stanley Clarke, is miraculous. Sad he died like that..

About Chris Squire, the guy is an amazing example of a rare balance between the composer & the virtuoso, & all that with a genuine tone experiment inside one of the more creative bands of the 20th century.. YES. But you must already know that.

Hi Joe. You are truly my fav guitarist and I would love to go see you when you come to Australia for your tour. One problem. The only show I can see is in the Tivoli, Brisbane. It is an Over 18 venue if the show is standing only and I am only 14 . So I cannot see the greatest instrumental guitarist alive, not unless I break the law. I know that you won't be able to change the venue, but please think of all the young fans all over the world who won't be able to see one of your shows. In the meantime, I will be off crying in the nearest corner.

Gday, just a quick question. any chance of a meet and greet ticket for the Melbourne Australian show in July ???

Does Joe do that sort of thing, or just for his American fans... Australia gets bugger all in ways of meet and greet, or signings at namm shows, or workshops. will joe be doing any workshops in Australia, or signings ?

Are any SoCal T2Jers planning to go to the Guitar Center gig in Hollywood on Tuesday? Let me know...it'd be nice to meet you and say hello.

Chris Gray - The CD/DVD version of the album appears to be fairly limited, and I've only been able to find it online (I haven't found an actual store that carries it). It looks like it's out of stock through the link that was here on satriani.com, and CD Universe, a web store that also carried it at one point, also appears to be out of stock.

I'd say you're out of luck for the time being...I imagine more copies will be available if there are any left after Joe finishes the Guitar Center tour.

If you're desperate and REALLY want this version of the album, if you can come up with a way to pay me (PayPal?) I can pick up a copy for you at the Guitar Center gig in Hollywood on Tuesday. Let me know...

I have to admit I don't know much about Roger Waters or Sting. I'm pretty familiar with Pink Floyd and the Police (it's hard not to be), but don't know much of their solo music. Is there anything you'd recommend?

Do the Stu : MM uses all his fingers & tapping technics.. that gives to him a large expansion for solo expression. thx for the links.. i will check.

About Waters, as for Gilmour, i think the best thing he has done is Pink Floyd.. sad his egotic madness conduced him to destroy the hardcore's band... i don't follow his current work, but remember that Clarky advised the album Amused to Death.

Sting is like Prince. It's impossible to introduce him with one album.. he's so ecclectic & creative.. a genius of modern composition.
