That's the shit!

This guy kicks ass!

5 days late ! i know ! but i just got my internet installed :)

here's my review to Satriani's Detroit gig...

WOW ! What CAN I SAY ! Im not even finding the words to express what i saw 4 days ago ! A Dream Came True to me,finally after over 5 years of being a hardcore and loyal fan to the Master....my Guitar Idol/Hero....Joe Satriani...i had the chance to stand right infront of him and watch his amazing,beautiful preformance Live. it was a dream to me to see him just months ago, coz just got immigrated to the States (Detroit-MI) 2 months ago from Baghdad-Iraq. that night was by far the best....the theater,the audience,the stage,the music...everything. I arrived @ abt 8:25 pm, and Mountain was already there preforming their songs and they surley rocked the stage till 8:45 pm where the crew started to set the stage for the Maestro to hit the stage @ around 9:05....kicking it off with (I Just Wanna Rock)....i was amazed by the stage production and the beautiful lighting....(Compared to what i saw on his solo/G3 dvd's). I was on the left side of the stage-audience prespective- right infront Satriani's main pedal board.his whole band were on Fire....Stu kept going from side to side,interacting with the audience, throwing picks-luckily i got one near the end of the show :)-. and reflecting the light to bling the audience not to mention the monitor engineer ! Galen was doing his job @ his best, also interacting with audience,keeping everyone smiling :) Jeff...he's one of my fav.drummers,and he's out there proving it everynight on every single second of the show...beautiful beats, keeping the band tight... now comes Satriani.....the beautiful soul,i really dont know after all these years and the thousands years how he can keep it that spiritual, and playing these songs everynight just as he 1st composed them.he's my fav.Guitarist coz he plays with feelings, and never lost it...not a single note. i enjoyed and smiled every single moment of that night...and every single note from the setlist....

Hi MEDD,

That Screaming Head certainly sounds like Joe I guess - he is credited with it at the site.........thanks for letting us know. I love the way people contribute bits and pieces and you can go off researching another aspect of Joe, or more material you never knew about, etc.

Satrini: The JSBDG body is protected, but the sharpie scribbles on the pickup cavity plates, the switches, knobs , whammy and fine-tuners are all not protected and will simply rub off if touched too many times or too hard.

I have a couple of replacement pickup cavity plates to replace them, I play with a spare whammy bar. I just have to be careful I don't carelessly fiddle with tuners switches and knobs while playing. It came from the factory with an ok setup, but I ended up having to fix intonation and lower the action. It probably needs a real tune up, but I'm not doing the frets and everything.

Nice idea about sound bytes from each guitar. But like you said, the megasite has taken a LOT of time to set up. I used a good content management system, so it's not too hard to maintain. But still have a fair bit of initial data to enter yet.

I don't think Joe has recorded anything on the JS2KPLT. I'm not sure why, if he hasn't. It is a really full sound. Joe? have you used the 2KPLT on any recordings?

OK, here's another cool idea.

We are all STOKED on chickenfoot right?

Well, I think the die-hard fans of Joe, Sammy, et al, should be offered a special Chicken-club membership. So we form a core group of die-hard new fans for chickenfoot support around the globe.

So when they are playing the stadium gigs Sammy said they are designed for. We get reduced rate tickets for VIP seating, aftershow passes, signed band memorabilia, etc.

Well, I think it's a great idea! I want membership #1 please, here's my $100.... KaCHING.

Oh, and in the VIP seating we should of course have chicken club sandwiches!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA....

SAVE CHICKENFOOT

Please sign below to save the name "Chickenfoot".

We realize that other names may have more appeal, but who wants a corny supergroup name? We the undersigned respectfully request that in the name of good taste and awesome music, the name "Chickenfoot" remain the official name of the new awesome supergroup.

Regards, Everyone...

we're in for a treat :)

Out Of The Setlist

Yes - the color in that interview of Joe was distracting. But it does seem like a misquote that the album would be out by the end of the year.

Hey Joe,

Hey Joe and everyone else!

Hey Austin!
