Satriella:ANY gig i go 2 i stay for max 30 mins because i get bored..... "maybe thats just me" so i go t the bar t meet friends for 30 & go back t listen some more IF i feel like it.I payed for the effin ticket so WHO is t say how i spend my time at the concert

I,m a die hard fan of no artist, makes no difference who they are but i do love & respect ART so i go sometimes t support what is great...Joe is but 1...how i spend my time while there however is my business

BTW I really hope Joe drops his instrumental & G3 life 2 n goes for the chickenfoot thing full on!!

fatape - You're welcome...

I don't think the movie/video game soundtrack stuff is any indication that the album is done. They had a song in End Of Days, the Arnold Schwarzenegger film, waaay back in 1999.

I'd love to be proven wrong with all of this, but I don't even know if I'm going to bother to buy the album. So...

So (UK'ers), did anyone check out the Guitar program on Sunday night on BBC1? 2 more episodes, looks like Hendrix on this weeks show (amongst others). Hoping they show some Joe in episode 3

I learnt that the guitar developed from something called a cittern/gittern and that instrument was so widely available for a man to play (due to being something to pass the time at the barbers?) it became associated with "women of easy virtue"... with gittern/slattern becoming an insult (slattern meaning slut)?

So there you go, guess that means all guitarists play with tarts? LOL

Out of the Stu/Cheese - are there any set lists in the reviews as I can't imagine the show would be that short. I've never been to a 'short' Joe show, so does he do that when back home?

Do the Setlist - does that mean your previous nick is permanently reserved by your email address?

Roo - congrats on tracking down the case candy, sigh of relief huh! Glad to hear you play it too. So which of them (4 rare models right?) plays/sounds best to you?

Igneousiceman - I guess by entertaining I mean still trying to control the car etc etc right up to the nano second before the impact. After that I'd say it's generally unpleasant, but your brain rationalises it.

Keniko - did you see my post about the JSX? I was curious about it, if you wouldn't mind answering? I know very little on Amps so if you can pass on some knowledge that would be cool

Oh boy, about a week late but, sincere! Joe's gig in Edmonton was just INSANE (as js1200xxx mentioned)! BTW: I've posted some photos at: http://www.therockgeneration.com/news-ns232.html

We hope Joe will consider Calgary and Edmonton more often!!!

Now, my son and I were going to duct tape our socks on for our photo with Joe but, there were too many people and the meet was rather hurried so we decided to help 'streamline' the process and sacrifice the idea. Non the less, we love the new album and wish Joe a lot of success with it!

Out of the Setlist - You are probably right. I think you would certainly be one of the few that really liked that Van Halen III experiment. I never personally thought it was aweful, but it just never seemed like Charone had quite the pipes to go with Eddie's playing. He was pretty admirable...and I'll give him this...he had balls. when the Sammy era ended, there were some HUGE shoes to fill! Van Halen's best commercial success was with Sammy.

THEmonk - Welcome to the site! Tell us a bit about yourself...

It looks to be about five songs shorter than it was at the start of the European tour (no Crushing Day, Musterion, OOTS, or DYADD, to name a few), although some of that is give and take because he probably jams out more as the tour goes on. I created a quick playlist of the set in iTunes and adding time for live stuff (the longer Always..., Stu's solo, etc.) it looks like the show is about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

I think that makes this his shortest headlining show in the US since I've been going to his concerts (my first Satch show was the opening night of the EOC tour). But looking at all of his concerts I've seen, this is somewhere in the middle. It's longer than his G3 sets, obviously, as well as his opening sets (for Deep Purple, 2004) or co-headlining sets (with Dream Theater, 2002).

To answer your other question...I'm not sure if old nicknames are linked to or reserved for their original account, but I doubt they are. I think Do The Stu is original enough to where no one would coincidentally pick it over the next month. If someone picked it intentionally, well, depending on what was done with the name it could possibly be considered impersonation / identity theft and cause some legal problems.

I guess I don't know...maybe I'll log in as my dad or brother and see if I can change one of them to Do The Stu. ;-)

About Eddie's ego, in this case I guess I was trying to say that it wouldn't surprise me to find out he's exaggerating and the "10 or 20 songs" I've heard him mention in interviews are just a few dozen riffs on a tape buried somewhere in his studio.

Sammy left Van Halen and the band released two songs with DLR and one album with Gary Cherone...then they did the three new songs with Sammy just a few years ago. In that same amount of time, Sammy has released six solo albums, at least four live CDs or DVDs, and a bunch of other little things here and there.

I love EVH, I really do, but I think it's obvious he's been the problem this whole time. It's sad.

I noticed in a review of the Chicago show that the setlist was identical to the Minneapolis show. Personally I would think they would get bored being repetitive like that. Hopefully they will change things up as they go along..

Hi everyone,

Does anyone please know if Joe has a set or preferred order for his compression and distortion devices, and if yes which is it?

Hi,

What amp head with green net use Mr.Satriani in the studio!! In the satchurator video.

Thanks,

Please answer

Said the last goodbyes to my brother in law yesterday.

RIP Patrick, yer a star.
