Jack Actually - Hi...welcome to the site. Tell us a bit about yourself...

My SC comments were in two posts. Click here and here.

As far as Van Halen goes, I'd say it's only the recent live stuff that sucks. Balance is a great album. A few years later they did III with Gary Cherone on vocals. A lot of people don't like that one, but I'd say it ranks in the top half of Van Halen's albums for me. It's different, but good. The tour for that album was a pretty good one too, so I've heard. Gary sang some older DLR-era stuff that Sammy never did.

Listening to: Joe Satriani - The Extremist (current song: Summer Song)

I like the Jimmy Page aspect of the evh riff onto VHIII.

But i have to say that i'm a first era's fan in front of the eternal.

Now, i just get nostalgia.

Listening to FOOLS a condensed of blues, metal swing & rock prog & all that in only 6 minutes. What i call genius.

sorry.. nostalgia.

so.. think about it before Taking Your Whiskey Home

EDIT

& this one for Mark London : Romeo Delight

& this one for me : it's just about a stuff i've tried to defend during some times.. but now, i don't really care anymore: swinghard

Phil - i mentioned you to Joe...i said 'Phil in the UK wanted to know if you his stuff' i said this whilst going through the messages to picis of my painting before it was finished. i'm pretty sure Joe said 'oh yeah' I can't quite remember what he said but it was in the afrimative(sp?) >=:) I told him you'd given him a message for me earlier on in the year with a pici. of the painting unfinished (i said that as i was showing Joe the painting) I really like country guy, he's growing on me...even though he looks a bit miffed/tired. but that's how Joe was feeling, mustn't of had much sleep cause he travelled a long way.

roo thanx man >=:) don't worry if you don't remember, I thimpk too much :P did you catch the pick? I was at the FREO gig by myself man...there's nothing too it, you're there to see Joe not to talky talky ;P

Iggy I hope you don't mind me calling you that, saves me remembering a whole bunch of letters. I didn't see Evans crash...we only get ~2hrs live coverage a night here. if we are lucky 4. the mountains are the best to watch O_o the crowds pi$$ me off though, the way they get right in the riders face :/ i'm all for cheering and that but some spectators are a hazard. why arn't they marking out the raised islands better? there's been some crashes because of those...a bit of neon orange on them would help.

jamie Ok i just remebered because of the link being posted for the new Js 20th and the 20s Satch wont be playing the 20th onstage :( :( he just uses it in the dressing room for warming up the silver surfer is mucking with the sound of the guitar and also the chrome is coming of bit of info from my buddy Mike Manning ..  
Bigbunny - See if u didnt mention that Joe didnt play the guitar in freo i wouldn't have asked. THANKS. :)

I have a verra bad feeling that the Pacific NW is going to be skipped, again, on this tour

:((((((( Hope that's not the case.

It's strange how my favorite guitarists are all the same age. 52(or around that) Joe Satriani Michael Angelo Batio Randy Rhoads (would be) Eric Johnson (is a few years older) all the same age as my dad! O.o

NickBowley-GREAT SONGS they sound so professional. How long have you been recording songs? and what kind of equipment do you use? YOUR MUSIC ROCKS!!!

Big Bunny: The pick landed on the ground in front of me and I got it.

And I'm not scared to go solo, did that at Adelaide. I have an alterior motive.

Anyone who is on LinkedIn.com

I have created a Satch fan group, Please join:

More Joe with Workshop Live

hey joe!, I'm Roberto Meza from venezuela, I've many year listening to your music and i'm glad you come to Venezuela august 10, because it's my birthday! so my friends wont be there in my birthday with me, and i'll be alone in the concert but cool because it's my own birthday gift i gave to me:P. so I'll be there listening to you file 7 seat 24! this date and concert are very important to me! i hope you can read this message!

Did anyone see Rush on the Colbert Report tonight? I don't usually watch the show, but I heard they'd be on. They were interviewed and then they played Tom Sawyer. (EDIT - See? I REALLY don't watch the show...I accidentally called it the Colbert Show at first...haha.)

Stephen made a really funny comment during the interview...something along the lines of "You're known for writing epics...have you ever written a song so long that you were actually influenced by yourselves by the end of it?"

Time Machine is currently in Joe's setlist, and it was played at this summer's Paris show that was recorded for a CD/DVD release.

Listening to: Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (current song: Six Days At The Bottom Of The Ocean)

Iggy i worked out how to remember your name IG NEO (from the Matrix) US ICEMAN (like a superhero name) >=;)

i didn't see Cadel have a go at an aussie journo...what's wrong with these people!! they know he's broken it before and has come off again...i wonder if he's broken it again and is on painkillers?? but Michael Rogers broke his collarbone last year and had to pull out. I think he was the one who went over the cliff edge...do you remember that? O_o another rider went over but managed to grab the rail and climb back up. I remember that spectator - he stood in the middle of the road to get a GREAT photo!! only for the cyclist to go into him...stupid stupid people!

Cube : i know... your welcome. & can you say to dave, if it's possible, that i will send my mastering cover around begining of August. I won't get access to email before. Thx.

Do the Stu : nop.. never really been into Deep Purple. Just got the Live in Japan. Awesome of course.

Morse is great.

About evh assimilated into Morse, Simple Simon is a good example i think

& if you get time, you can check here the Steve Morse i admire : Good tone, awesome technic, & great composition. Can we ask more to a guitar player?

Cruise Missile
