Do The Stu - I was the guy that asked about Revelation. I was so nervous when i was talking to Joe! I was going to ask about G3 but the caller ahead of me was going to ask that so I had no idea what to ask!!! Then the producer asked me what my favorite song was on the album so I asked about the idea for Revelation. Such a great song.

I love new music favorites on the album are the campy but enjoyable "i just wanna rock" ...more cowbell, and wasnt that a twisted sister song? every element of an 80's rock hit...seeing the video made it more enjoyable, hope he brings the bot on tour.....
IMHO " come on baby" was the best song, reminded me a bit of Eric Johnson...maybe a little mellow for some taste but definately smooth and cool.
I thought "out of the sunrise" was also very good. classic sounding Joe.
some of the other songs were a little too experimental for my taste but time will tell, joe's songs sometimes take a bit to be appreciated. I would rather he try left field on a song or 2 than to crank out the same sounding stuff over and over.
I thought "Andalusia" was going to be an accoustic throw down by Joe (from the sample byte) but it turned out to be so much more. I thought the clapping or castanetts or whatever should have been behind the guitar part and was mildly disappointed when the song went electric, but the jamming made me quickly forgive the change....I wish around the 5 minute mark he would have held on a high end guitar scream, faded out, and returned to accoustic giving the song an ebb and flow feel (maybe next album?) instead Joe cranks up the intensity on his electric guitar making it scream, do electronic seagulls, squeal and moan, shred and spill a few more intense riffs. I wouldn't doubt if on its last note the guitar was smoking. I would like to see if he could play it like that live, night after night.
I have bought most every album and dvd by Joe and have never been disappointed. Keep em coming Joe!!!

Actually, I too am really disappointed with the direction of the new album and I've heard a few others say so as well. I've really been too pissed the last two days to even post about PSATMOR...I went out on April 1st with such high hopes that Joe would finally de-throne Summer Song or CP with some new, high-pitched rockers. The most aggressive tunes on the new record are Asik and Andalusia. They both have aggressive moods but both also meander too much and have no solid hooks. They seem to be stuck on the end of the album almost as if they were an afterthought.
Has anyone else noticed the solos on the last three albums are almost completely free-form and don't seem to relate back to the main melody? Just sticking wild meandering solos for 4 minutes at the end of songs does not define a 'structured' rocker. Maybe it's just me, but I like more order than that in the music I listen to and Joe used to consistently deliver solos that connected album after album. The songs are just all over the map on this one, which we expect from a Joe release, but the overall mood is very mellow/somber just like the last two albums. We basically still have the "essence" of Joe's old sound but without the balance of structured upbeat rockers/hooks like the aforementioned Summer Song or others like Lords of Karma, Circles, Ceremony, Speed of Light(pure Genius), Extremist, Up in the Sky, Big Bad Moon, One Big Rush, etc. I really don't mind a few meandering tracks on an album because I know Joe needs room to experiment, but UncleScorp has a point when he says this album(and in all honesty the last few) lacks straight ahead rockers. Even CP's Psycho Monkey had a hook and that was a pretty weird tune...If you think of these songs and other Joe greats they all have memorable hooks you can hum. Can anyone here hum a hook from Andalusia?
So, I listened to Rockline last night to see if I could glean some insight into Joe's thinking on his style's evolution. What I came away with was that he's in an even more experimental mood than ever these days which is a GOOD thing and a BAD thing at the same time. The GOOD is that he's still creating cool new sounds, but the BAD in my opinion is that there seems to be less of an effort to do cool aggressive hooks/albums with cohesive themes and more of an effort to do unplanned meandering jams and slow to mid-speed ballads. Joe himself said the album was all over the place, and that they didn't even have a title until the project was done.
I realize I sound negative here which is a real shame because anyone who knows me at all knows I'm very positive. I still respect Joe and his work, it's just I've felt so let down by everything since CP that I had to speak out and voice my opinion. I know he still has the ability in him if he ever decides to do another straight away rock album like Extremist or CP. I guess the right mood just has to strike him....so I'll continue to wait for the next GREAT one.
Its actually pretty easy for me to define too. I'll know its arrived when it has rockers like the ones listed above, a journey track like the song Time Machine and one or two slow to mid-tempo sweet gems like Cryin' , AWYAWM. Hell, I wouldn't even mind a vocal track as I am part of the minority of fans that finds Joe's singing cool. Man, remember Can't Slow Down, Ride!......Now THAT will be an album that kicks some major @ss!
Should I do a track by track breakdown of PSATMOR?...

I Have 3 live Videos of you and 3 G3 concerts. You are right there in that Paul Gilbert choice. He is way more than just a
shredder from back in the day. I have all the Racer X cds and
a live one from them. I think the top 4 of them goes in this order for me. The Guitarist with the coolest smile was Eddie Van Halen. My first inspiration Tapsman is his nickname. I then heard all about the blond tonesmith with coolest hairdo
of all Randall William Rhoads. Two totally different styles I
must say. Then I heard of this giant Passionate guitarist name
of Steve Vai. I Saw Yngwie before I bought any Steve Vai cds. A million notes a minute with beautiful melodies. Then I
heard of you. I think you are the top sir. I saw you once at
the CAINS' Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I even knew about
STU STU back then. Tracks 1,4,5 and 9 are so incredible sir.
Your newest cd is so great Professor Satchafunkalis. C-Ya

just got back from the joe session at the guitar center in plymouth meeting(philly) waitied 5 hours out in the cold but it was so worth it got to sit 5 feet from the man himself 1st row i and my roommate were 2nd and 3rd in line there was a guy john in front of me who was there since 11 am which when we got let into the store was 530 pm lol satch played 6 songs ,musterion,overdriver,diddle-y-a-doo-dat,flying in a blue dream,always with you always with me and satch boogie,then he talked for a bit about g3`s of the past and teaching ,his equipment then management asked him 4 questions about the current album,the audience were supposed to be able to ask questions but it got cut out .
My roommate and I both got to meet him share a few words get a pic with him and say our thanks ,there were 200 seats and i`d estimate another 200 people standing ,they did not allow any photography during his performance ...it was totally worth it went in at 530 left at 730 and i was almost 1st in line to get my pic and autograph ,there were so many fun moments and there were guys filming so maybe it will end up in a podcast ..if you read this joe i was the large bald guy in the front row wearing a steelers shirt ,I believe I read jeff likes them or somebody in the band does and probably catches flack for it lol thanks again satrianiland !

Hi Joe, nice to "meet" you.
I am lazermario (DUH!) the guy who called in on Rockline and asked how many guitars are on the new album Wednesday night. My real name is Cainan... from Burnsville, North Carolina. Kinda funny how it all worked out: I called in right at the start of the show and was put on hold (normal so far, right?). Then I'm told "your up soon" (still cool). NOW! Here's where it gets kind of funny: Bob "Cainan from Burnsville NC" so I think "ah, I'm on!" and start talking...
Imagine my surprise when somebody else starts talking to you too! :D :D :D
BTW: my apologies to the guy who was announced as me on Rockline... I had no control over that, heh.
To continue: I'm holding 'till the next break and then told "Ah MAN I'm sorry, we [messed] that up." Me: "HAHA, no problem man" Calltaker: "Uh, ok. We're still gonna put you on, but can you use a different name?" Me: "ummm, I guess so--lazermario, my screenname; but what if he asks my real name? What will I say?" Calltaker: "Heh, yeah, kinda putting you in a tough spot." Me: "Hey, I'll just tell him I'll explain on the website later, ok?" Calltaker: "That'd be great, thanks bro" ... etc
So yeah, nice to get to talk to ya Joe. Although I was interested in the number of guitars on the new album I had a different question originally, but they said I needed to change it to something more generic.
I know this is a long introduction Joe, sorry. I'm pressed for time atm, but I'll catch up with you next week--I'm going to Winston Salem in less than 12 hours. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read all this, and I hope the GC sessions are going very well.
Talk soon,
Cainan (lazermario) lazermario@hotmail.com
P.S. To Joe and anyone else who responds to me, please include my nickname --> lazermario in the reply. Many thanks.

Hi Joe,
I met you last night in NYC, and I wanted to thank you for taking the time to play a music store, answer fan questions, sign autographs for hours, and for me, making a dream come true by signing my keyboard. (i was the guy lugging around the keyboard)
Looking foward to meeting you again if you end up touring in NJ.
PS - Sorry I snapped the picture just as the person next to you said not to.

Hello to all of you nice people. I'm new here. I am wondering if anybody could please inform me how to purchase a ticket to Joe's show in Sydney. I'm currently living in Indonesia (where Bali is), so I am having difficulties to do it, considering that credit card from my country would certainly be rejected. Thank you, look forward to hearing from anyone.
