Austin, my daughter has seen Dark Knight 2x already. She said it's one of the best movies she's seen. She said Ledger is brilliant. She was telling me that in the theater today when she went, some girl bought in her newborn baby, and her girlfriend had a toddler girl who was whining before the movie even started. The girl with the toddler finally got off her ass and took the kid out, but the girl with the newborn stayed. She don't know if the girl and the toddler came back in after the movie started. Nice LOUD scary movie to take yer babies to. *shakes head*

T-bones, when you get a chance, send me an email and let me know what all these tears are about.

Anybody remember THIS tune?

Alexandre, hello honey! Me and my family are well and I hope you are too. I bet Hadji looks cool like Joe with no hair ;-) Stew and Sully are good also. They can't wait till it cools down a bit outside so we can open the windows for some fresh air. Now it's to hot, and the AC stays on most days. Stay cool my friend! hugs**

Austin: check out theplazatheater.org As Homer would've said, I'll feel like I'm spending a fortune just standing there!! jeje

Yer right about that Mc, there was no need in the end for what happened, but the dad dint know it until it was too late, ye ken? If I were him, at that point my mind would just snap. (And no need to tell me mine's already gone, I'm well aware of that >:(

Here's a nice interview with Joe for his Mini Colossal amp

Dang it's turned cold up here, heading down into the 50's for the night, and every time the hotel doors open I get a whoosh of really cold air on me here at the puter.....I only brought "hot" clothes *shivers*

Warm yer fingers up Austin, only a lil over one more day to go before we buy....

You have influenced my musiclife. In 1997 my daughter was born and i gave her name : Gita Satriani Biantari Im sorry to use your Sat. name to her name because we think youve born for us too.

Happy birthday to you, Prof. Sat... We love you

Does anyone want to place bets on who gets better tickets for Satch's Reno show? Me or Tracie? ;-) It's ON!!! About 32 hours to go...

I'm not here long enough to listen to the clips now, but I'll get to them sometime soon.

I don't know if I'd take someone so young to a movie like this...that's a bit crazy. Annoyances to everyone else aside, it'll be a fun story for the kid. My parents insist that I saw Return of the Jedi in theaters when I was just a few months old (it was released on my birthday)...that's very cool, even though they say I slept through most of the movie.

Listening to: Lacuna Coil - Lacuna Coil (current song: Un Fantasma Tra Noi (A Ghost Between Us))

Cube : if you found that you are lost, this means that maybe you are less lost than you think.

Nick : I don't know. But it's not only Joe. All that i know, is that Joe is come with his first cds during the 80's. During these years, if i remember well, there was a general climate in rock where several drummers played like machine. Just the essential with a perfect timing.. 70's were different.

If you check the 70's ZZtop cds & the 80's ones, drums parts are very different. The paradox is that playing like a metronome is very hard. I mean, it's a great performance... but it brings frustration to the drums lovers.

In parallel, 90's have seen the explosion of beat & techno.

To go back to Joe, we know that he's definitly obsessed by tone experiment.. so this explains that. It's his part. Those who want to eat some drums must eat elsewhere.

Igneous : As evh said once, the Jimmy Page's solos talk. In his time, was considered as a virtuoso.

But want to add that Page is before all a rythmical player &, that's a point, a genius of rock composition.

Good Morning Satchland......How Is Everyone ?

Hey Joe !!!!

It's good to see you postin' again. Cindy and I got our tix to the Chicago show in the mail yesterday. We both can't wait to see you again. Thanks again for all your hard work and great music. God Bless.....

Do The Stu...... No worries mate. I took no offense. Let me know what you think of those songs. They're a little departure from what I play but I like the songs. The band is doing great and Riche is awesome to work with as the rest the band is also. I'm glad I made the move cuz' now I can concentrate on just playing guitar and not have to worry about the vocals to much. I'm Free......

Cosmic_Ape......Hey what up Aaron? I have a JSX head also. The best amp I have ever owned. The guys in the new band I joined are amazed on my tone. Man, I love this amp. Joe signed the head during the Guitar Center meet-n-greet in April. Take Care.....

Thanks Joe !!!!!

Speaking of Joe.....I got the new issue of Guitar World and Joe is everywhere in there. Ibanez ad for the SWTA guitar, mini review on the Satchurator, Joe endorsing Cad and Planet Waves. A smile came to my face cuz' like many of us we've watched him grow through out the years and no one deserves it more than Joe. Period......

Hi Joe

Sooooooo, you've been playing with John 5's makeup bag, have ya? Not totally sure about the look but hey, sometimes u gotta try new things.

LOL!!! Nice article and photos Joe :)

Hey Guys :-)

Firstly Joe Satch, I have a questiones for thee: would you use a dynamic mic like a SM57 to mike up your amp in the studio or something more like a large diaphragm condenser? I've tried a 57 out and gotten fairly ok results considering, but I really had to blast my amp pretty loud :-) I'm thinking a condenser would provide a richer, warmer sound, but am not sure, lots of people seem to have different opinions on this one!

If anyone else can shed some light on this one as well?!

Do the Stu: Souls of distortion is a truly epic track, I love the drum fill at the start and the bluesy guitar solo too.... the drums are loud but definitely live though. Thats your fav satch album right? I like Lifestyle as well - wicked blues solo.

Igneousjohnicemandude - The Serpent's Promise is a wierd one..... interesting you were listening to it, I just embarked on writing it out for other band members to follow! Rock on.

Laters......Nick /nickbowley.co.uk/

Wow Joe First post in over two months, tour keeping you pretty busy huh? the last post you did was on the day I met you April 5!

John-Wow thats almost exactly like my new one, the floating bridge, the pick-ups.....the color. the only difference is the model and the head, (mine is reversed) compare them

Hey Joe!! See ya in Philly. We're bringing our son with this time :-)

Fred, great Achilles Last Stand video!

Igneousiceman, nice pics. Beautiful scenery.

Austin, you and Tracie are the biggest Satch whores! Multiple shows every tour. Always in the front rows. Ahhh, ya both are gonna get great seats anyways. The contest should be who gets to the venue first. I know Tracie wins that one every time! lol!

Wooleyman, it's a great song for a buzz, isn't it. lol!

Bimos, you named your daughter Gita Satriani Biantari after Joe. That's cool.

Cheese, Joe in make-up? lol! Where oh where can we find that? lol!

Ken, we get Guitar Player, and every time I see Joe's picture in it, I have to turn the mag around and show my husband (or whoever else is in the room) "Look, there's my Joe!" In this months issue there's a nice Paul Gilbert interview, and 10 Things You Gotta Do To Play Like Eric Johnson.
