DoTheStu.....You mentioned Neal Peart?! I think he is one of THE best lyric writers around these days. Have you heard the new(ish) album? What do you think?
Lookin forward to the new album Joe. :-)

Let me just start by saying I DO like the new album a lot.
Now I'm a huge Buckethead fan & this guy always leaves me speechless, how somebody can put out that sheer amount of music AND still have it all be very original & inspiring just literally blows my mind. That said, I don't love everything he's done (most of it though), like Kevin's Noodle House did almost nothing for me. But then released at the same time was Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot which is easily now one of my favorite albums of all time. I'm a complete & total guitar freak, always have been. I listen to a LOT of players & in my opinion Buckethead manages to blow all of them away.
So... on to my rating of PSATMOR (remember now, I said I do like it) there's a lot of nice playing there but is it just me or do the drum lines just drone on a little? Is Joe really staying on the cutting edge with this album? Is he playing anything very original that he never played before? I hear a lot of "familliar" (no, not the "same") sounds here and there, and again I find the drum lines less than inspiring. When I go back and listen to the first G3 and all the albums before that the material was over the top, I'd listen and say "I've never heard anything like that before" but it's just not like that anymore for me with Joe. Then I go back and listen to Crime Slunk Scene or Enter The Chicken or Kaleidoscalp or Thanatopsis and I'm constantly impressed, I hear something new every time I listen & it never stops blowing my mind.
Keep in mind I'm not trying to say "this guitarist is better than that guitarist" really I do love them all in their own special way, and always will. I do really like PSATMOR (Andalusia is a masterpiece!) but maybe I'm just getting a little bit spoiled by Buckethead, his stuff is just all over the place, from the heaviest heavy (death-metal-esque) to the softest/sweetest (check out Electric Tears) he's never the same thing twice.. and those drum beats are insane!
Back in the day, when Stu was with Joe the basslines were VERY inspired, lots of improv'd stuff and fancy fills. Now I find the bass is very static & is just "along for the ride" if you will. This will hopefully change on the road when Brad can spread his wings a little & spice it up a bit.
I know that this won't be a popular opinion around here, but this is how I honestly feel about the new album, as I said (& it bears repeating) I do like it but I guess what I'm saying is that I'm not truly passionately in love with it. I think that Joe CAN do a lot better, he has in the past.
So, anyone who wants to get a feel for what I'm going on about, check out Buckethead's latest album Decoding The Tomb Of Bansheebot (or Pepper's Ghost easily just as good) and tell me that's not one of the most amazing guitar albums you've ever heard.
And just one more thing, on a side note, I would LOVE to hear Joe do a metal album, that would rock my tiny World inside out.
smooches,
» Phy³ . . .

I must admit I know little about Son Seals. So thx, I will check more about him. From Chicago blues I like Willie Dixon, though being a bassist, he's the composer of many classics as "Little Red Rooster", "I just want to make love to you!" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" among others.

This dudes from amazon uk are really fast. PSATMOR is already with me before april 1st ! Someone has said "Andalusia" deserves a grammy. I don't care about those stupid grammy jury. It's an awesome track, and everybody will realize that.
AlexanderCaetano
you're really fast, dude ! I admire everyone who can play guitar like that. I'm a frustrated guitar player, and, you know? I laid down my guitar when I discoverd Satch at the very early 90ies LOL

BigBunny - Is Amazon not selling the CD/DVD version? CD Universe is...maybe you should cancel your order and go with them instead?
Igneousiceman - I think Snakes & Arrows is a big improvement over Rush's last few albums. Not that those were bad...I like them a lot, but you know what I mean.
It seems to be a return to their past sound...not as far into the past as I would like, but I think Snakes & Arrows is very comparable to Presto and I'm more than happy with that. My favorite run of Rush albums is Signals through Hold Your Fire, with my favorite being Power Windows.
My biggest (and only, basically) complaint about Snakes & Arrows is that too many of the songs have similar tempos so everything seems to blend together.
What are your thoughts on it? What are your favorite Rush albums?
Phydeaux_3 - I'm only going off the samples of PSATMOR, but I agree. It sounds a bit "safe" to me in some ways, even though there are some cool parts. One of the few things I didn't like about Super Colossal was that the songs for the most part tended to stay safe and familiar, with maybe a more experimental thing used as the pre-chorus or the bridge or something.
From the samples I think the last two PSATMOR tracks are the most experimental, and I know I'm being picky but it bugs me that he's ending the album with that stuff instead of starting with it. I think he could do so much more.
I also agree with you about the simple bass/drum parts. I guess that comes out of Joe playing everything on his demos...
I have more to say but I'll wait until I have the album tomorrow.
...Austin...

Did someone actually just post PSATMOR will be "great music for mellow spring and a picknick."
We ARE talking about JOE SATRIANI , not YANNI right?!?
Man now I'm REALLY worried about tomorrow...I'm starting to wonder if I should listen to all the podcast teasers first now. I really don't want this to be a mellow album. IMHO Colossal already served that purpose...
Phydeaux_3 Don't worry. No one's gonna flame you on T2J for speaking your mind. Everyone here has each other's back. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, Joe really needs honest feedback from us about his releases. He's an artist and as such we can't expect him to change just cause we say we like or dislike something he's created, but at the same time if no one from his fan base speaks up when they dislike something he makes how will he ever know? Basically, I'm looking forward to some good reviews after the release! ;p
I just hope when I pick up the album tomorrow I find a Rocker as opposed to a Yawner. I don't need acoustic, piano, harps or any other mellow stuff...I need ROCK!
Do The Stu So Larue is with Morse, huh? Well, I agree that he did add a good kinetic vibe to the Colossal tour playin' alongside Joe. But what I really don't understand is why Matt doesn't tour with Joe any more. If I'm not mistaken he participated in the recordings for PSATMOR? Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with Matt's recent trip, what did Joe say at NAMM show, to meditate in Tibet or something? I dunno maybe Joe was just joking around...
As for recording the Guitar Center deals, no sweat. If it's done by one us T2Jers or Web extraordinaire Luini it would really be cool but if not, well... C’est la vie.
_Jammer!

I guess you could say that this is not your typical post. My son was a huge fan of yours and Eric Johnson. He was a guitar player and quite good at it. He would sit and listen to your music for hours. He was 21 when he passed away. Its been 3 years now. Since he has been gone, I have listened to your music and I have become a big fan myself. Into the light is a hard one to listen to, it kind of hits home. I only wish that I had taken him to see you live in concert. I have watched your concert on tv (every time its on) and I know he would be happy that I finally got it! I know you proably don't do too many tours in Tennessee, but maybe the next time you come to Atlanta I will get the chance to see you live.
Sincerely
Debbie O

I think my favourite track has to be Asik Veysel good to see Joe back to playing a piece with some throttle very clever to get that turkish style at the end would really like to hear that live. Coming to see you and the band in Bristol and won some tickets from planet rock.com to see you in bournemouth also. Thanks for the new album Joe

Great cover! Lovething is my favorite Satch song. I also really dig Stu's interpretation on bass guitar from the Live in San Francisco DVD.
Do the Stu
It's not often mentioned, but I think 1996's Test For Echo is one of Rush's strongest albums. It has interesting lyrics, great melodies, good progressions and for me the icing on the cake is the great artwork/photos to help frame the album.
