Musterion at GC Clackamas :) The kid right in the middle of the video, in the red t-shirt...he's the one who got to buy the cab Joe played on...I'm sitting directly in front of him, and Chris is right next to me, just over the red t-shirt's right shoulder....you can even see Chris holding up my cell phone at a couple of points in the video...that was YOU on the other end, LOL!! So now you have video to go with the audio you got to listen to :)))

here's another one, kind of Joe's intro to the night

Well geez, there's so many good videos over at youtube of the GC appearances....this guy has quite a few, here's the first of many this guy did in San Fran

Roy : Of course

Joe, Just wanted to thank you for a chance to meet you for the second time in Portland Oregon at the Clackamas Guitar center! I am proud and honored to be one of your many fans! Is there a tour in the works for the USA and when will you be by Portland Oregon agian? Thanks agian Joe!

Fan For Life!

Hey, folks. here's my Fuzz news article on the Seattle Satriani clinic yesterday. Check it out! :)

As long as I'm on here, I'd like to post my review of Professor Satch.

Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock This record, like Strange Beautiful Music and Is There Love in Space?, is not going to be a landmark Joe record. But it has some very cool tunes. Most of them aren’t new material for Joe as they remind of previous cuts from former albums. Is it worth the buy? Every penny!

Musterion This one kind of blends “Not of this Earth” and “Oriental Melody” in my mind. Then again, that description feels way off. It could be an original moment for this record. Very cool, mysterious, and spacey.

Overdriver Okay, I can’t tie this one to any previous Satch tune, although the refrain would be at home on Strange Beautiful Music. It rocks without rocking hard, and Joe brings back the soloing from his beginning days that we loved so much! In my honest opinion, his “I Am Become Death” string rubbing was ill-placed in this; that sound would be more appropriate in “Musterion.”

I Just Wanna Rock Rejoice, ACDC fans! The tribute is unmistakable, except for the robotic vocals (what if Joe actually belted them out high and R?). Again, Joe’s solo is incredible, and he sounds more like he did in the early years.

Professor Satchafunkilus Totally a sequel to “Hill Groove” from Strange Beautiful Music—cool and danceable.

Revelation You could call this a sequel to “Ten Words.” The pain and hope are in there. Musically and structurally, Joe could put words to this and sell it as a hit single. At first listen, it has “RADIO” written all over it! His solo isn’t over the top, and the refrain is among his top ten most beautiful and memorable. The collaboration of parts towards the end is wonderful to listen to.

Come On Baby Ooh, this will take anyone back to the Joe Satriani blues album! I’d almost dub it a sequel to “Home,” but it’s not as light-hearted and peaceful—much more pleading and persuading. I hope “Baby” concurred!

Out of the Sunrise Okay, this is the most original moment. The piano gives this a great radio classic feel, like something from Jackson Browne, and the song is beautiful. Joe’s guitar tracks kind of take me back to “Clouds Race Across the Sky.” The middle section gets quite fun—the reggae feel from “What Breaks a Heart” returns.

Diddle-Y-A-Doo-Dat FUN!!! Guitarists, have fun perfecting that opener/closer! This one also brings back the “Hill Groove” sensation—guitar AND organ parts! Bob that head!

Asik Vaysel The opening is very eastern-sounding and beautifully haunting, but the rest is very much a sequel to “Lights of Heaven” from Crystal Planet. Again, Joe’s soloing is terrific!

Thanks Zen Junk! Pretty timely quote right about now, what with the "theme" seeming to be Zappa 'round here right now:
When asked about how to make it in the music business, Joe quoted Frank Zappa, saying, "Get a good haircut. Get a good lawyer."

...very strong gangster squirt.

One week tomorrow and I fly out of the country to TURKEY, for Anzac day and a nicely deserved 3 week vacation , God knows i derve it..

aussie, make sure to leave yer heroin at home.

Okay, what movie was that? Turkish prison - heroin?

T-Bones, the back of Chris's head and yer shoulder are very fetching. LOL! He was such a good sock to hold the phone like that. We were ALL there! lol! I was wondering what the crowd cheer was during Mysterion. Joe was playing with his teefs! lol! Oh, and by the way, I've changed the title from Satchafunkymonkeyballs to Satchafunkalicious. That man and his titles. *rolls eyes* I have a hard enough time remembering songs with no lyrics! Ya know, I love him, but I don't LOVE him. lmao!!

LOL...how about Satchamonkeyfunkaliciousballs? Hmmmm, no? Well geez....no matter what it is, it's a mouthful :) Funkysatch.....professorfunk? Sigh.....I've taken to just calling it PSATMOR, it's easier....oh wait...you named it the red-shoe album...that would work too :)

Ty for saying we're fetching....my shoulders have gotten a lot bonier now =/ I feel bones in them that I swear weren't there before!

And did u know that when you search for airline tickets to Ireland, they suck u in by saying OH, only $455 round trip....THEN when you go to actually book them they tack on TAXES AND FEES that DOUBLE THE PRICE FFS!!! And fuggedabout the hotel prices in the city of Dublin, omg!!!
