Cool video

Do The Stu: The Shinedown stuff I've heard does nothing to me. 45 and another song on radio, so maybe I should listen to more of their stuff, but so far it's just more of the same rock that seems to find its way to radio these days.

It's come to the point where I'd rather listen to the local NPR station than rock radio. Ironically, the same day we were at Downey, Shinedown was playing here in El Paso with Alter Bridge, some sort of street festival or something.

I really liked The Oddysey... until I heard Paradise Lost, their newest album. Now, The Odyssey sounds bland in comparison. Heck, even DT sounds bland compared to that album. If u didn't like the Odyssey, skip it and go for the new one. Even the artwork kicks butt.

King's X, I like most of their stuff up until Dogman. After that it's not that good. Dogman has a lot of very "singable" songs in many musical styles, it's the only album I kept (I had Faith Hope Love and the one that has Black Flag, sold them both). Know all the lyrics to it, which is rare for me. Get Dogman, then get their best of, and you're pretty much set. Then again, on the MP forum they recommend Faith Hope Love a lot, so u could try it as well.

dakawan: those are always good friends to have, the ones that work for cool bands! Now that Portnoy himself has confirmed that there will be a DVD of this tour, all that's left to find out is which show each song is from.

From where I was seated (stage right all the way back), I could see Tony wailing away on the chapman but I couldn't pick out his notes from the rest of the band. I even thought at some point that it was more of a gimmick. Now that I've seen the vids on Youtube and heard the NY bootleg, I know that it was just a matter of Petrucci's amp eating up everyone else's sound, at least where I was, don't know if it sounded differently in the rest of the venue. Do The Stu can answer this one.

Hi.. hope everybody is fine.

Old trip : i finally got my ten words : it is not a question of words with Joe Satriani.

bwabwahbwah..

Nevermind.

& as i prefer more & more express myself with music than words, here a song for Bass.

Bass Digression #1

There's a crap background breath onto that track. The reason is the amp, not a really good one. So the mp3 is very low. My apologies.

We're moving from the UK to Canada and so for the first time didn't buy tickets to see Joe in London earlier this year, as we didn't know at the time they went on sale whether we would be here (still don't have definite moving date). Just checking to see whether the tour will be stopping by our new home later in the year but see that there is no tour stop in Vancouver! We're gutted. So sorry we missed it and hope Vancouver will be a stop on the next tour.

Hey all , just wondering if anyone might have an answer for me. Don't get me wrong I love Stu Hamm , in fact, it was the deciding factor to go see Joe this year , but does anyone have any idea what happened with Dave LaRue ? Neither seem to have anything to say about each other and all seems pretty hush hush, does anyone got the scoop??

Wazup Satchland!!! Does anyone have a clue what the U.S. tour setlist will be? Cant wait 'til Friday, tix go on sale in Chicago, yay!! There will be seating though; that sucks. I like to stand, jump around, wave my arms, and do air guitar, air drums, and air bass, the whole nina. The Chicago Theater seems a bit too conservative for a rock concert.... =(

People behind me are gonna be mad lol

Joe let's get some Down (3) and some Time Machine in there!!! Not Of This Earth too if its not asking too much lol. Matter of fact just play all of your songs to every album youve ever made, we'll all camp out =}

just like lightening 9/10

Good Morning Satchland......So What Up?

michelle.....Well.... Hell yeah my little super hero. Thanks for the blessing. Audition is tonight. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks so much. Always hugs for you......

The vid on "Steve's Spanking" was awesome. They played really well together. I looked at Vai's vid explaining his audition with Frank...."I hear Linda Ronstadt is looking for a guitarist" Busted me up. Total Frank all the way.

achoo

I want to see the Chicago show - but I have a scheduling conflict (already).

You can purchase presale tickets through the Loop now - if you are a Loyal Looper - FYI.

Congratulations Joe and the Gang first PSATMOR Aussie Show complete .

Hope it was a Great show in Perth ..

i gave Joe the messages but now i'm paranoid that he might have left them on the table that was behind him O_o... maybe i'm worrying too much?? someone asked Joe about the Coldplay thingy...he replied "oh it's flaturing" (not an exact quote...tone of voice of oh was kinda hmmm) another guy...Dave? asked about ChickenFoot - can't remember all of what Joe said but it's a go. something about getting their timing together. he said Sammy & Chad are so full of energy!!!! Joe said he couldn't play 'Love Thing' or 'If I Could Fly', 'LT' because of the pedals and stuff like that...something about how it's played. i told him alot of T2Jers want to hear 'IICF' :)

nothing from 'Crystal Planet' nooooooo - but i'm fortunate to see Joe live so i can't complain >=:o)

Joe with 'Surfing With The Satch'

Joe Satriani thank you for letting me take a photo of you with the painting...apologies for other people taking more snaps, my bad! i didn't catch a pick...i tried. i hope you didn't leave behind the messages I gave you. please reply back to let me know...i'm a wee bit worried about it {:( thanx for drawing on my guitar for me...any tips on how i can protect it apart from not playing my guitar? the dude looks a bit country but with an attitude >:/ like 'don't mess with me' I forgot to wish you Happy Birthday for next week! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! thanx to you Joe, Jeff, Galen and STU for returning to Perth! FREO!

Leanne (BigBunny)

Jamie sorry i didn't post sooner...man i'm hungry!! only ~ a dozen of us at the CLUBJOE thingy which was great >=:) man, i'm worried i've fluffed up with the messages...i showed them to Joe and then went to some photos of my painting before it was finished. pointed out to Joe that i stuffed up his legs.

one_robot - Hi... Eric isn't touring with Joe, so if you hear keyboards they're just backing tracks...

And on your second list, I REALLY like Crushing Day, Borg Sex, and Time Machine. I love Day At The Beach as well.

Does anyone else remember this?

That Frank Zappa video was awesome too...and yes, I know who the Monkees are. ;-)

But their non-radio tracks are the better ones. They just released their third album...click here to hear some samples from it. This album is a mix of the heavy and the melodic...let me know what you think.

Thanks for the info on Symphony X and King's X. I'll keep those albums in mind the next time I go music shopping.

Regarding Tony's sound at the LTE gig...the chapman stick sounded a bit muddy to me because Jordan's keys were pretty loud. His bass came through nice and clear, though. The chapman stick sounded a bit better as the night went on, so maybe it was just a mixing problem. I'm sure it'll sound fine on the live album, whether it ends up being Downey or New York (those were the only shows recorded multitrack).

Are you going to any other Aussie shows, or was this the only one?

Austin only this gig - it's a 3hr flight to Adelaide which means $$$ for flights and hotel. if Joe didn't stop here i'd have to fly east but he's saved me some money by always coming back here :) i hate economy/coach on planes, other people want my seat too.

no 'Out Of The Sunrise' :( don't know what it's been dropped. Joe said he can't have too many ballad type songs on the list...maybe that's why? he also said some songs get retired like my fav. 'Love Thing' and 'If I Could Fly'.

cause i went straight down the front to get my spot i didn't get a look at the merchandise...so for any other aussies reading sorry i can't help with prices etc.

oh - just added the Freo gig to my attendance thingy so i can do a review...but after i've eaten and slept zzzzz >=:o)

Awww Galen, I know what it feels like to have the airlines lose yer luggage :( That sux...guess you need to go shopping and fast!!
