Hey Joe!

Last night my daughters and I waited 3 hours in line for a sessions clinic at Guitar World in Englewood Colorado. I have three daughters ages 15, 11 and 8 and every minute was worth it to learn from you and hear/watch you play.

Joe, thank you for sharing your gift, your inspiration, your soul and your heart with the world. As a fomer touring vocalist even I learned from the experience of listening to your session. As the mother of an aspiring guitarist nothing made her LIFE more than meeting you! Your down to earth nature and wonderful expression with children made me proud to name my horse after you!!

Satriani ( the horse) is undefeated in the Pinto horse show world and we tell anyone who doesnt know where his name came from, all about your phenomenal gift. Thank you for the autograph on his picture! We hope we can infuse our love of this great horse and your music. By the way his first foal was named...Summer Song (lol)

Thank you for building the dream within my children Joe, you are truly a class act.

I Just Wanna Rock!

This is getting ridiculous....

It actually snowed over here the other day. It's supposed to be nearing our summer and it snowed.....

Amir - She's having a long walk home coz hubby took her off the car insurance!

Blue_Moon - "I showed you 2 wayyy to many pics god knows what ya do with em!"

Haha...you'll never be able to run for public office now, will you?

The same is true with me, because this photo (scroll down) ran in my paper a few months ago.

Can you tell me which songs Joe played, and what the order was? From reading other reviews I think it's three new songs and three old ones, right?

I'm going to try to record the new songs with my camera to share with everyone here...so I'd like to know where in the set they appear so I can be ready. I won't bother with the songs we hear all the time.

I also know some of the Guitar Centers haven't allowed photography, but I'll try my luck.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on PSATMOR. I agree with most of what you said, especially about how Joe is playing the music he wants to without trying to prove anything to anyone.

The album is a continuation of his last few, style-wise, but I think this is closer to SBM than any of the other ones. I also hear a lot of Not Of This Earth vibes, and maybe even a bit of Crystal Planet as well. I'm very happy with the album.

I need to type out a full review soon...maybe I can get to that tonight or early tomorrow.

Any chance of updating the set list request list to feature songs from the new album? Im sure Im not alone in wanting to hear some of the new material played live!

Cheers,

Do the Stu - Thanks for the kind "Welcome Back" and I appreciate the +1 on my review. Yeah, hopefully I can find some time to be a little more active on this board than I have been. Hope all is well for you.

**Peace**

Amir, you're welcome...hope you're doing okay.

Civi, sorry, can't help you out with a ride as we're only a few blocks from GC where we're staying so will likely be walking.

Austin, I hope you can record at GC, I'm going to try to do the same in Portland but who knows about their rules =/ As for mckenna and his pics....yes...he really should be afraid, LOL!!

I love the direction this new album has taken us, with all it's many moods and emotions...and you're right...Joe doesn't have to keep proving himself at this point, he has some freedom to do what his heart is telling him to with his music....although he's also very smart and knows he has to try to satisfy the die-hard rockers from days gone by...it's hard to satisfy everyone, impossible in fact. I think those that write this album off entirely just because they no longer hear the style of The Extremist, or whatever their favorite album is, really miss out on something incredible.

Joe has always been on a musical journey in his life, and his music has always reflected where he needs to be, whether for commercial value or as self-expression....he's been a master at combining the two. I think he's still the master at that, but his inner muse gets even more of a voice now than before and for that I'm so thankful. With every listen of PSATMOR I fall more and more in love with it and feel almost like I'm on a roller coaster....moments of lovely calm punctuated by moments of pure thrills...with every emotion in-between.

repost for importance: (Thanks for noticing Stu)

GREAT CD Joe!! I love it. Can't wait for the tour.. I'm in San Fran area

One thing that bugs me though.. whoever mastered it killed all the dynamic range dude!!

Picture of blown out track

Your music shouldn't be messed with like this. Too late for this CD but maybe next time you can look into this problem that is going on with pretty much EVERY CD getting released nowadays.

Cheese101 and Civgeek, I was hoping to make it to the GC thing this week, unfortunately i'm right in the middle of a War and Peace class that's really confusing so I'm going to go to class instead of hanging with all of you there. In fact I'll be driving by on the freeway about the time you guys are going to be in line. class is from 6 to 10. I'll look forward to your posts.

Austin...... Yes, you're right. I'm wasn't to familiar with the song titles from the new cd but Joe played Flying in a Blue Dream, Satch Boogie, and Always with me ......It's most likely Joe played the same songs from PSAMOR at each stop as he explained to us he's still learning these songs for "Live" playing. Before the GC mini tour he rehearsed the new material trying figuire out what parts would work. Joe was awesome as always. He just so eager to talk and spread his knowlege to the fans. Pure class all the way.

Do the Stu/Keniko

Hey guys, the songs he played from the new album at Chicago were musterion, overdriver and diddle-y-a-doo-dat. My father and I got video of them but they're a little shaky as we were in the back and had to raise our arms to their max. I can share them if you'd like.

joeman9...... Thanks for clearing that up. I was only familiar with the podcasts and I'm terrible with song titles. I thought one was Musterion and I knew of the jazz one and that turn out to be the Diddle- a - Doo tune. As far as envious of meeting Joe so much. You don't have to be. I'm really no different than any other fan. If you're patient enough to stay after his concerts depending on the venue geography you can meet him along with Mike and Mick going to the tour bus. The last G3 tour Joe played at the Congress Theater in Chicago....a first and we got to meet him again.The three prior tours he played at the House Of Blues which is land locked by the Chicago River so there was no way of meeting Joe and the gang after the shows. It's always great to meet Joe and shake his hand.....as a guitarist also he's so inspiering to me. But what makes Joe really great to me is..... Joe the person..... He's not stuck on himself and working in an industry with the most egotistical people in the world...... thats rare.

Edit......I'd post the vid on youtube and give us the link. That's the best way for anyone to see the vid.

Hi Joe!!! I think your new album is awesome! I enjoy "andalusia" and "I just wanna rock" themes. The way that u' say "I wanna rock with you" with the strings is funny and pretty cool

but I have a big question also...

super colossal turn me off from joe satriani, but this new album has brought me back to joe. I'm very glad to be back and listening to joe's music 24/7! I met him in person last night here in colorado GC session! I got my guitar signed and shooked the legend's hand! Glad i stopped by this site at the right time to see that he was coming to town! :)

Another thing that I'd like to add is that, the new album shreds like crazy! Joe is more of the bluesy/rock guitarist, but this new one is full of difficult phrases and each listening i discover something new and challenging to play!

Come On Baby!! love it!!

so many musical messages in one song... a real feel good tune...

thanks for the great music Joe...
