Ah just watched the replay of the lovely Rafa winning his 2nd round match at the US Open.

Jamie I just watched your vid it is fantastic - did you get Flying In a Blue Dream too? Was that the Friday night or the Saturday night?

Thanks for the info on Vai. It looks like everyone is pointing to Passion and Warfare, so I think that's my first stop. I really like his Jemini pedal. That's got some great tone!

Wish the heck I could get the feel of this 24 fret guitar! The neck just seems so long. Different. This guitar also has EMG pickups. I have never played EMG's before. I am pretty impressed. Good tone between the 2. Very different. Now if I could just get up and down the fretboard, I'd be all set!! :)

Hey Joe.... when are you coming to india to perform again.... your visit to india is much awaited.....i want to attent your concert.......plz reply to this message....plz come to New Delhi.

kenicko-doin good thanks for asking. wife and i just had a baby boy born yesterday. she didn't like any of my names; she wants an american name even though we live in Israel. so i'm not sure i like her choice, but how can i argue (o.k. she is a woman) with a name like Joey. wanted to name him after Joes son Zacharia (spl?) but she said out here the name always gets changed and its a name that is outdated.

still don't have my amplifier ready to go, need a transformer. Regarding the guitar, i already have a JS1000 but still want to get that same sound with 24frts. theres not a lot of choices that i see. ibanez, and jackson.

hahahahahaaaa!

Oh boy! If McCain gets voted in and something happens to him, this will be our feckin' President - fux sake man - it doesn't get much funnier than that!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sen. John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

Palin's selection shocked numerous Republican officials.

At 44, Palin is a generation younger than Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware, who is Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic ticket.

She is three years Obama's junior, as well -- and McCain has made much in recent weeks of Obama's relative lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matters.

In response to McCain's choice, Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, said:

"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same."

In making his pick, McCain passed over several more prominent prospects who had figured in speculation for months -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge among them.

Guess the bottle stopped spinning over her name and she won the prize. lmao!!

Good story if ya want a laugh.

Skippygirl-that setlist is missing surfing, you can't forget surfing! But I would love if he played that.

Does he choose one setlist for a tour or does each city have a different one?

Good Afternoon Satchland......How Is Everyone ??????

lorenzo001.......Congrats.......a baby boy. Cool ......So you want an American name?.......Ken sounds good to me .....lol......God Bless all of you.

As for the guitar......I got a Carvin DC127C for my 50th. It smokes. It's got 24 stainless steel frets, 14" ridius. Dual Humbuckers with coil tap switch for both pick ups, Floyd Rose. This is a quality guitar for about the same price as the JS1200. I would seriously look into this guitar or the Ibanez Jem.

Carvin DC127

My DC127C

Slan, I wouldn't *F* McCain with Richard Simmons vagina!!

lmao!!

Skippygirl - Joe has posted here in the past to tell us to update our setlists, so it's safe to say he looks at the choices of satriani.com members as a whole.

It's great that Joe does that, but I think the process is a bit flawed (ugh, I know I'm being picky). I'd love to see the stats, though, because I love stuff like that.

There are 100,000+ members here, and I bet a great deal of them haven't visited the site in years. It's probably safe to say that only a small percentage fo them have actually filled out their setlists, but those who have likely haven't changed them since they were first created. So not only will they be missing songs from Joe's newest albums, but they'll make it look like everyone wants the same songs in the set each tour. I love Summer Song, but after hearing it at a dozen shows I'm OK with it not being there...you know?

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, because I'm really fine with anything Joe plays...but man it'd be cool to hear things like Slick and Champagne?...

To answer your other question, I play bass but I've never been in a band. It's a bit misleading to say I've been playing for nine years. I've been playing fairly regularly for the past few months, but for a few years prior to that I was so busy with school and work and stuff that I hardly ever had time to play. I love it though...I wish I knew some local people who were into the music I am...

It's cool to hear that your friend is a journalist. I'm not too into the reporting side of things right now (at the moment I'm fine being a copy editor), but if I started reporting I think it'd be fun to do something like what you described. That's a bit of a funny story about what happened in Beijing...but in all seriousness I hope he's OK. :-)

Hahaha...I could've told you that before you downloaded it. ;-) Are you still using IE, or have you gone back to Firefox?

I won't be voting for either of them, though...

I haven't listened to this one in quite a while, so I'm declaring it the song of the day. Everyone give it a listen...

lol @ mama M, i betcha McCains oven chips would piss on it if it wer on fire tho

Hello Joe, How are you doing? Have you ever think about a G3 concert with a fan on the guitar? That would be cool...maybe you can find the fan by a contest on the web or something like that...or a competition like an "American Idol" tv show with guitar players and the winner play with you and another guitar player in a concert.

What do you think?

Nice to meet you here in Brazil (iīm the one who made your drawing in Belo Horizonte)

Peace,
