Hey Satchland
If Jimi Hendrix still lived he would be 66 years today!
Lets all have 1 minute silence for such a great music legend!
God bless Hendrix who brought our hero to life!!!

Riviera_Grande: Check out the "Road" section for the tour just completed.
I saw Joe at the Metro (Sydney) in 1995 and also Melbourne shows, plus an in-stoore private jam at Allans in Melbourne that day, that was awesome. I met Joe three times over 2 days, After show in Sydney, on the plane and we chatted for a while, and at the in-store at Allans.
Then I missed G3 - had a massive deal on at work and couldn't get away, so pissed at that, we also lost the deal, so it was a double loss.
Then in 2006 he did the ITLIS tour, only got to the Enmore in Sydney for that, but got backstage and met up with Matt/Jeff/Galen and Joe again. Got to really meet Mick for the first time then.
Then this year I went to the Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane shows, got to catch up with Joe again 3 times. Thank you so much Joe, Mick, Galen, Stu, Jeff - you guys rock.
At the Brisbane show my friend couldn't make it, so I had a spare aftershow pass, I gave it to a guy next to me after we were talking for a while and he said "it would be insane to meet the guy, but how the hell do you get the opportunity?"
Unfortunately, since then I have collected probably another 20 or more unique items I didn't have for my collection, so there more left to sign Joe LOL!
So to answer your question, YES Joe has really come to Australia, and yes it was insane to see him play live. There is no other experience close. The Albums are awesome, and the bootlegs and live dvds etc, but LIVE is the BEST without a doubt. You completely get pwned by the music! LOL

Riviera_Grande - you sound like you've been bittten by the Joe Bug like the rest of us hehe. I am sure you will be 18 by the time Joe tours here again so save your pennies to get on the Spirit and come across.
mjs99 - your wife met Joe??? Wow, I need to catch up with you guys on the next tour - it would be great to have other women to chat about Joe with and enjoy the show/s.
Glitzy you are a legend. I struggled around the oval this morning at 5.45 am - I must have hit a 2 week-mark wall or something but I had Joe and SWTA in my ears to get me round as best I could - when does the freaking fitness start to improve?????? If it was basketball I'd be fine but running - ugh.
fatape - you sound like a very happy man, good onya.

Morning roo!!
Question for you, how do you know if a CD is a "real" CD i.e. pressed by a publisher or someone genuine, as opposed to a CD-R where somebody has just copied the mp3 and the CD liner?

Skippygirl: why, what cd can you send me? :)
Seriously, If we discount the obvious fakes, then it used to be easy, but it's quite a lot harder now.
Some bootlegs were produced by backyard boys anyway (I think "Cotton pickin" was made up by someone who got a copy of an original Cotton Club and wanted to make a cover for it. And I think "Joe goes to war" was only ever on a second rate production in cardboard sleeves), and I believe some of the originals were mailed around as CDRs and some guy later made up the slips and had them professionally produced to resell. So it really depends what you are looking for.
In the past it was sight unseen ordered off a mailing list, but I pretty much got exactly what I expected each time, no bad experience. Now with ebay, and so many smart counterfeiters out there, I can probably say I don't really care about original originals, As long as I get a cd that looks professionally produced, then I'm happy. And it has to be a recording that I preferrably don't have. I know for instance that "Luminous Guitar Giant" and a few others were only ever produced in a very small batch as CDR with stick-on cd labels. That is the original original anything that looks more professional and is called that is a copy!
Hope that answers your question.

Happy Thanksgiving Satchland,
Railton--Jimi Hendrix started it all for the guitar as a lead vocal instrument. Let me add my gratitude for Hendrix as well. What a way to inspire a guitar hero in the making! AND JOE DEFIED DEATH (HENDRIX'S) BY PICKING UP THE AXE AND CONTINUING A TRIBUTE THAT MAKES GUITAR HEROS IMMORTAL!!!!!!!!
THAT IS WHY HE IS CALLED ST. JOSEPH!!!
Maritime--Thank you for JOHN PETRUCCI's Rig Demo. The equipment used with the electric guitar blows my mind!!
Tracie & Michelle--Happy Happy Thanksgiving to you great goddesses of the message board!!
Do The Stu--I'm glad to hear that rock n roll radio stations are thriving in your listener area. I don't suppose KRLA, Pasadena still exists, does it? Thanks for your tips on police/security guard etiquette/behaving responsibly.

Millie, ty, Happy Thanksgiving back to you. Ain't no goddesses here, but plenty of us chickens!
Wonder if Joe had given Mckenna's cd a spin yet :)
And btw, does anyone else LOVE the opening video of Joe's Workshop Live lessons at the Satch Zone? I think using his JS1200 guitar as a space station is freakin COOL, lol....viewing windows on the side, transporter through the input jack....I'd fly around space any day if my spaceship looked that awesome, LOL!!! Very clever Joe....didya dream that up yourself?
Chris has done a coupla lessons at the Satch Zone now, looking forward to doing more but he can only look at them when he comes home to visit...he thinks they're great!

Sad week for some. Michael Lee died this week. He played drums for the Cult and Thin Lizzy. Some may have known him better for drumming for Robert Plant and Jimmy Page on the Unledded tour. He was one hell of a drummer. and only 39 years old. Shame.

Blue_Moon - Thanks for sharing your photos...a lot of them seem to have turned out better than I thought they would. Cool...
cheese101 - I doubt it's the same silver robot guy...I bet there's an army of 'em. Still, though, it's not a bad job if you like people and you like performing. I'm sure some days are just horrible, but I bet you'd make enough money on some days to where you could take a whole week off if you wanted to...
And I'm not in a turkey coma because I can't stand turkey. I had pizza instead... :-)
hybes - Yeah, I posted something about Michael Lee a few days ago. I'm really bummed that it hasn't gotten mainstream media attention...he was an excellent drummer and I wish more people knew of his playing...
On another note, did you see my post from a few days earlier than that about the Candlebox CD? I finally found it at a record store... If you can't find it I'll dig up a link for you...
...Austin...

Geeze...michelle is just waking up and I haven't even gone to sleep yet!
I've spent the last hour or so checking out some more Chickenfoot interviews. I figured I'd post 'em here for everyone.
Here's a Classic Rock Revisited interview with Sammy Hagar. He talks about Chickenfoot, of course, but also gets into some Planet Us stuff and then other Sammy-related things:
http://www.classicrockrevisited.com/interviewssammyhagar08.htm
Also, the Music Radar site has also posted audio interviews with Michael Anthony and Chad Smith...as far as I know, neither of them have been shared on T2J. So...here they are:
Chad Smith
Michael Anthony
As I've said before, I don't know much about Chad Smith...but after listening to this interview I have to say he's really cool and I'm excited to hear what he'll be doing with the band.
And Michael Anthony's interview shows that he's one of the nicest guys out there...he answers a lot of Van Halen questions too, without trashing anyone.
And then of course both guys have plenty of nice things to say about Satch. :-)
And in case you haven't heard them, here are the other two Music Radar interviews:
Sammy Hagar
Joe Satriani
Enjoy!
...Austin...

of people who collapsed after a mile that is!

When a man volunteers to do the 'BBQ', the following chain of events are put into motion:
1) The woman goes to the store.
2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables and dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it in a tray along the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, 3rd beer in hand.
4) The man places the meat on the grill.
5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.
6) The woman comes outside to tell the man that the meat is burning.
7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.
8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
10) Everyone praises the man and thanks him for his cooking efforts.
11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off" and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there is just no pleasing some women...

This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a U.S. naval ship with the Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland. The Chief of Naval Operations on October 10th 1995 released the radio conversation.
_________
Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North.
Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
Canadians: No. I say again, you divert YOUR course.
Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTERMEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call.
