Skippy - Salamat Pagi to you mate, although you'll have to clue me in on the translation. That could be dirty for all I know.
Hope you all are having fun, just scanned through 5 pages, been out a while, very busy.
Roy kids are great, I'm a grandfather, that is the greatest thing. My grandson and I are real buddies. I have 2 daughters and boys are much easier to raise. Love 'em all though.
Good night mates!! Time for La La Land.

Do the Stu--In answer to your earlier question about Satch albums and DVDs, I have all except 5:
The Beautiful Guitar 1993
Additional Creations 2000
G3 Live in Tokyo 2005
Surfing with the Alien - Legacy Edition 2007
One Big Rush ????
I'm not sure what year the last one was released. I remember getting suggestions about where to get these--Rasputin and Streetlight Records just to name two and of course Amazon.com, etc.

Glitzman: No working for me for a long while. Not with the double ulcer on my right foot! Guitar is going great. I have two new ones to mess with, a Maestro/Gibson les paul jr, single pick-up hardtail, and a dt350fg "Star" Ibanez. I had to do alot of rebuilding and remanufacturing parts to make it work right. Still a good little number. 5 Ibanez guitars in my collection, 12 all told, including my bass and two acoustics,a steel string and a clasical. Good luck on those runs!

Austin was texting me fer a bit....he said he loves the lazy LA people, he got to the Roxy in line around 4 pm and he was FIRST!! That woulda saved me about 5 hours of standing around in San Fran, lol!! He saw Joe, Mike and Chad arrive but they pretty much zipped in....and was listening to some of the sound check stuff.
He's in fer a helluva time!! Times two, lol! Dammit!!
Learning to Fall...Sammy talked about what it was about...it's about taking enough risk to allow yourself to fall in love, as scary as it can be. It's a gorgeous song.
My Kind of Girl....turns out it's about single moms who get up every day, take care of their kid(s) and the house and the job, and turn around and get up the very next day to do it all over again. I pretty much liked that song, wonder why, LOL!!
Joe is singing some back-up vocals....I was wondering...if Sammy is a little bit intimidated to play guitar in front of Joe, and if Joe is a little bit intimidated at singing in front of Sammy. Either way, these 4 guys make magic :)
Got my son moved today, to what he calls the "mansion". Just got home a titch ago, he sent me a video of what he got done in his place during my two hour drive home, it's lookin good and he's too pooped to blink he sez, LOL! High hopes this all goes well for him...and he starts his job on July 1st. His entire two bedrooms and bathroom with JACUZZI tub and TWO walk in closets and private covered wrap-around deck.....is as big as my entire frickin house, LOL!!
He's very excited, so am I...and we're also exhausted :)
Nats.

Al - very nice, I love that purple guitar, I'd like a dress that looked as good as that guitar, or maybe a purple biker jacket, or maybe a purple Vespa.
Austin- don't forget us before you go to bed!!
scuby, et al - 'morning. You can bid on the slice of pizza on evilbay.

just wondering if i am the first and only one cuban interacting with JOE on the web?
_________________________________________________
I speak on behalf of my son cause he has no acces to the web but anyways he is willing to make firendship with some other guitar players around the world
________________________________________________
I am the father of an 18 year old young man who after me is the second most devoted fan of JOE SATRIANI in Cuba. it is hard for us to keep posted with the latest news and concerts because we have no access to inetrnet from our place and thanks that I work for Mexicana Airlines in Havana I can from time to time enter this page and as I also can travel to Mexico City first thing I do is to buy latest CDs and Videos of Joe and his band.
My son Samuel Franco is the lead guitar player and singer in a band called SIN TROVA in Havana. He has listened to all your records, and is constantly keeping you in mind and inserting your technics in the riffs he performs with his Ibanez Prestige at every one of his concerts with his band.
So, if you ever visit Cuba, please remember us, because it is hard for my son to assist to any of your performances abroad.
Thank you very much Joe, and hope to sometime see you in Cuba at least as a tourist perhaps.
Bye,
Francisco Villavicencio B.

Yea its a nifty colour I digs it, its a little different and hey its a lefty guitar that isnt black its always a plus, and i said I'd make a vid with it didn't I :) ...wouldn't mind a pup change in it though, the humbuckers a little lifeless although single coils aren't that bad
and Austin If you don't get an In n' Out on the Sunset Strip after the show I'll kill ya! ...I wandered in there one night as a drunken mess then wandered around Hollywood afterwards at about 3am and got lost, had to ask some Valet parking drivers or something for directions! ...ah good ole' times i love doin' that kinda stuff, it rocks
and when people say "et al" i always think they're talking to me also instead of others

Chickenfoot was awesome, again! I think the San Francisco show as a whole was better, but some of the highs tonight in Los Angeles were higher. They're sticking to the same set list, and it sounds great.
First, I want to say a big thanks to Joe for the handshake after the gig. He was giving a bunch of high fives to some people a bit to the left of me and then went to get with the guys for the end-of-show bow...but then he saw me and stepped back up to shake my hand before the bow. So...thank you! :-)
As Tracie said, I got to the Roxy around 4 p.m. and was first in the normal entry line. The band started arriving around 5 and did a soundcheck for about 45 minutes. They started with a jam I didn't recognize as a Chickenfoot song...it sounded a bit like Robin Trower's Bridge Of Sighs, maybe? After that, they played parts of Down The Drain and Soap On A Rope, and most of Get It Up, Learning To Fall and Sexy Little Thing. I didn't hear Sammy, so he either wasn't there yet or just wasn't singing.
Once inside, I positioned myself just right of center, toward Mikey's side. The venue is so small though that I was actually probably closer to Joe tonight than I was at the Fillmore (I was on his side then, but farther back because they had a barricade set up).
I caught a stick from Chad toward the end of the show, and my friend caught a pick from Joe. I'm a big Satch fan and she's a big RHCP fan, so we traded. And at the end of the gig, Chad gave me the pick Sammy used for the lapsteel bit at the start of Bad Motor Scooter. Joe's pick was one of his, not a Chickenfoot pick. It's white with a JS and autograph on one side and a doodle on the other...I'm not sure when it's from (SC or PSATMOR? I'll post a picture soon...).
I also got a high five and a fist bump or two from Sammy, and the aforementioned handshake from Joe.
I know I haven't talked about the actual music much here, but I'll put a nice post together sometime Wednesday comparing the SF and LA gigs.
Really quick though (ha!), I'll say that My Kinda Girl NEEDS to be the next single from this band. It's the poppiest song on the album, yes, but the chorus is incredibly catchy and it could be a great feel good summer sing along thing. I think it has a lot of crossover appeal... Anyway...
...Austin...

Quick post on tonight's show before sleep. In three words:
Best. Concert. Ever.
Austin - sorry we didn't get a chance to hook up. I didn't have time to check my email before heading out, so I didn't see your message. We probably saw each other and didn't know it... Next time!
I was close enough to Joe that I could have reached out and touched his guitar many times without even leaning forward. I've never been nearly that close at any concert before. Incredible! The girl next to me actually played his whammy bar (oh man, that sounds wrong!) at one point with his encouragement.
I had my camera in movie mode for most of the songs, but I don't know how well I did framing the shots - I was too focused on enjoying the show (as it should be)! The camera was definitely secondary. But from checking one of the videos, it came out awesome. Surprisingly great sound for a pretty cheap camera. I'll post 'em on Youtube over the next couple of days.
More later!

Scuba you mean the dimarzios everybody uses? "Progress isn't possible without deviation from the norm" [Zappa]
Thomann is usually the cheapest in EU, with Musik Produktiv in second place (the EVH Frankenstein is $140 even on the EVHgear.com site). You can get stuff cheaper in US if you pay in dollars with a good exchgange rate, but they usually don't ship outside US (Alaska / Hawaii) or the shipping is so expensive you loose all profit.
