Hey Peeps.....

Take It Easy,,,

O.K. I can't seem to find the questions I ask so I'm going to ask again, I'm not even sure if I posted it or forgot to hit post lol.

I was wondering, Joe, have you or is your music at all influenced by drugs? And are you planning on going to the Gorge at George, WA or the Spokane Arena(better for me, I'm a lot closer) in any U.S. tours? It would rock to see you live, man.

Hey joe, [no hendrix reference haha :) ]

OMG I went to see the Rubber Plants last night, I took my two little boys and their mates. I was blown away - the utube link doesn't convey the standard to which these guys play. (Thankfully they don't dress up as Led Zepplin, the bass player Charlie would have lost out there...depending on the era of course) The front man (Gavin doing Jimmy Page and Robert Plant in a weird hybrid) has all the right ingredients for a proper frontman, pretty, slender, slightly cocky, and loads of stage presence.

To be honest he's too good for fronting a tribute band, but there's stiff competition out there for someone of that caliber...there's 1000 magnificent guitar players to every successful and respected guitarist, as we all know (and some of you are). He had a selection of guitars, a les paul, and ibanez of some breed, a double necked guitar and a couple of others.

The style of the music suited him perfectly, alot of it was improvised and disturbingly sexy, just like Robert Plant! It was like they take the Led Zep stuff as a parameter then just go for it.

It's worth mentioning the drum solo during 'moby dick' - I think (don't shoot me) better than the solo on my Led Zepp CD which I think is a bit scrappy. (ok ppl don't hate me for saying that - I'm sorry the late Mr Bonham ). Additionally, one of the things I love about Led Zepp is the bass is far from boring, it gives lots of scope for playing around. Charlie had a great time on his 5 string, he grinned through the whole gig! He makes it look soooo easy too. I told him that, he says he should do he's been playing for a hundred years!

The highlight of the show is when Gavin called out my two boys names - he dedicated the song to Elan and Cormac, their first gig....ever. Everyone (it was a large crowd) cheered and clapped and the boys were like rabbits caught in the headlights...and so happy and starstruck, it was cute. They got their tickets signed by the band and got chatting to Gavin about their guitars, I imagine they'll be talking about that for a long time to come.....

What could top that, only a chat with Mr Satriani of course but as that's unlikely to happen we'll just have to continue being fans, buying CD's and DVD's and hopefully someday they'll see him live!

Tuesdays Child - have added your message to the Messages For Joe list :) i've only got 5 messages so far people so keep them coming in >=:o) be good to get more then 11 this time...each time someone wishes Joe a Happy Birthday i put some balloons on the page. got 3 sets of balloons so far >;P also it doesn't matter how long your message is...for those who have left a message and would like to add something just post it on here :)

Hello Super Colossal Satch, pleaseeee to back Porto Alegre BRAZIL...pleaseee. Do you haved problems with CURITIBA???

Next show stand by for you Master Super Colossal Joe Satriani, the Super Satch...

ibanezguitars - Wow, haha... Is that list roughly a Top 10 list for you, or are those just the first songs you could think of that you like more than Achilles Last Stand? ;-)

Oh well...one of us is right and one is wrong. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a drink or something at a Satch show...whenever and whereever that may be. Ha!

My favorite LZ cover band, though, is Led Zepagain. I've seen them about five times over the past few years. They dress the part and everything...they're really professional with it all...they stick to the same live arrangements the band played, they do a few acoustic songs mid-set, and so on. Here are two videos if you want to check them out:

The Song Remains The Same
Good Times Bad Times

I'm trying to get this girl to go with me to a show they're doing in a few weeks, but I've so far been unsuccessful...argh. I think she thinks I have other expectations. Women are confusing...but, anyway...

Hey DoTheStu

Dearest Joe,

I am the moderator of a fan community for you on ORKUT with 2500 members, we all love and respect you sincerely!

We believe your music has been more of a cult rather than just music, WE LOVE YOUR STYLE!

We have one request for you, could you please touch up your site to match your bright and cheerful personality? please visit steve vai's site to get the grip of what I mean.

It's a pity that I could not prove the scale of your fanbase here in Iran. But I am sure you would have enjoyed to know us, our history and culture more in depth, if conditions were else and the true face of the nation were rightfully represented worldwide.

I wish the very best in all aspects of your life,

Cheers,

Hey Joe, I was wondering when will you tour or play in Minnesota because i really want to see you play.

'Thankyou' by LZ is one of my favourite all time songs. It wasn't played at the gig last night but I understand that as it's not the crowd pleaser as Black Dog and Heartbreaker would be.....and of course, Stairway to Heaven which probably can't be left out no matter what! Tesla covered 'Thankyou' too and did a really nice job of it. I'm sure there are more covers of the song too, does anyone know of any?

Cool vids!! Thanks!!
