njbeast--You heard right. As for album release in January, I heard it was coming out in April. Oh, well 3 months difference--no big deal.

Maritime--Thank you for the movie recommendations. You have the hots for Gavin Newsome's wife? What about President Sarkozy's wife, Carla Bruni? She is not only a model, but also a musician. My Steve has two of her CDs and his mood changes to playful just listening to her. Her sultry voice and guitar playing are very soothing in the evening before bedtime. My guess is that you already know her talents. You are usually 10 steps ahead of me! lol

Tracie--Thank you for the link to YouTube Live. Always great to see Joe performing.

Igneousiceman--Your perspective on winter gives me joy!

SkippyGirl, Tracie and Michelle--I am enjoying the Satch interviews. I wonder when Joe's autobiography or biography will be released. I can't wait to read it (them).

I will be giving my reviews of Joe's songs soon.

Gotta go for now.

Hey Satchland,

One more thing. I am not sleeping well at night--so much on my mind. I can't wait for President-elect Obama to take office! The Bush (or Shrub) admin has abdicated and turned its back on the whole world. It seems they want to get as much damage done as time allows before January 20, 2009! My heart cries out for my country! We owe the world so much AND WHAT WE OWE CANNOT WAIT!!

Time for Joe's "Lights of Heaven", "Secret Prayer" and "Train of Angels" for this Sunday morning.

tikimon:good idea T.I make it a rule now t record something new every day even if i never use it, lifts the spirit being creative

Hello, hello guys! Joe Satriani isnt the fastest and best technically guitarist in the world. But he have something that all other guitarists doesnt have!

He can make music like no other person in the world!

Its not called talent! Technical and fast playing is called talent

njbeast, Joe Satriani recently spoke to Billboard.com about his new supergroup with ex-VAN HALEN vocalist Sammy Hagar, former VAN HALEN bassist Michael Anthony, and RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith.

"As soon as Sammy and myself finish touring our separate solo tours we'll reconvene in Northern California and finish the [band's debut] record," he said. "We hope to mix the album in January, have it ready for April and then we'll follow it up with a tour."

Regarding the band's musical direction, Satriani said, "The style is high-energy, kick-ass rock'n'roll. We all bring to the table some unusual influences and then we also share a lot of roots. And I think that's where a true color of a band comes out, just how we react to each other. So, it's definitely rock music. We haven't brought each other together to do a techno record."

GGirl, He's gonna kick ass and take names! lol! Then when he's done ~ we dance!!

HA! I just played this vid and had it cranked pretty good. Next thing ya know, I look at my cat Sully, and in true Sully fashion, he's walking around all puffed up lookin at me like he was saying' Get that ghetto shit outta my house!" lmao!!! I'll have to smooth him out and play some Godsmack I guess. LOL! I love meh kittehs!

FFS, I started that link and *I* puffed up too!! GAH!!

FFS!!! LOL!

Cube:Good on Mr Zenfish! Just finished a compound radius fret job for an ex students guitar, Epiphone Les Paul Standard, have y tried em? took me all night t get the bastage low action buzz free, what a gibber the nut was filed arseways as was the bridge as well...man i,ve nothing against the Chinese but WHY do they go t so much trouble making a quality wood instrument then balls it up by fitting dodgy hardware, it doesnt make sense

2 days ago i bought an umbrella in one of those Bizzar chinese cheapo places, 1 euro job, the feckin thing ripped apart n collapsed in one blow from the wind....again i wondered why bother making an umbrella that only works inside a building i mean if y look at an umbrella & all the parts it has, that takes a shit load of work right?¿

But funniest story has t go t a friend of mine that bought a Porno in one of these Bizzar shops in Barca.This shit had three lovely blondes on the cover claiming on the flip side they are doin each other every which way.Mr X gets back, wife is out with friends, kids with the grandparents, calls the lads round for a few beers n slips in Dr Porno DVD....3 old dames suckin off a midget for 10 mins & that porno thing Bill Hicks talked about "The Hairy bobbin man ass the kind o porno nobody loves" Mr X isnt thought of so dearly anymore

If you click here you can see all of the YouTube Live videos. Joe's video ranks 5th in views and 4th in comments compared to other show videos...very cool. We should all watch it a few more times to drive him up the list...

They'll supposedly email you a coupon, but you only have until midnight tonight to apply for one. Their site has been pretty busy...I tried to get one and the page just went blank when I submitted my info. But then I tried again and it said I had already used my email address, so I guess it went through. I still haven't yet received the coupon in my email though.

It was free. It was fun. Joe and the band were very professional, they were having fun, and they probably made some new fans. Nothing wrong with that...

I listened to a few seconds of a few random songs and to me all the songs have that epic November Rain or Estranged feel. That's good in small doses, but I don't think it'll work well across the album as a whole. I'm still buying it though, even though I don't like what Axl's been doing lately. Argh...

hey Joe, I`m not sure you`ll ever read this message,with you bein`busy and all,but I figured "what the hell"... I`d like to express my deepest gratitude for all you have given this world through your music.. I cannot even begin to tell you how much it means to me ,personally.. I`ve been a true listener and a fan since the first time I heard your music;wich is now about 18 years ago. Songs like "Cryin` " and "always with me,always with you" have carried me through some really tough times in my life.

There are many, very gifted musicians in this world.. but none of them inspire me as much as you do.. Many musicians talk the talk...but none of them walks the walk the way you do.. It`s truly amazing to witness you remaining this genuinely humble..and down -to- earth. That, to itself, is a sign of true greatness. So many ,many thanks to you.. Keep doin`what you do so unbelievably well!!

A Sincerely thankfull Fan...

slanshroom no idea why they bugger em up like that, i guess the more expensive hardware would jump the price out of its target pricepoint . and in reatail its all about price point .. i mean why use generic humbuckers when a good set of duncans bought in bulk would cost about the same and sound better even with the crappy electronics fitted too em .,

Hey!

What do you think about this intro to a song?

Hello everybody: Do the Stu, js1200js1000, GoldenGirl2, SuperDaveMcCarthy, michelle, cheese 101, death cube k, tikimon, Blue Moon, Guitarman77897, to those who I forgot, and everyone!!!

How are things going? I hope you are all doing well. Nothing but work, running, and family and friends for me.

November 22nd will be a day that I wil never forget:

First, I ran my last points race for the Fort Wayne Track Club. I did not get one of my best times, but I did place in the top 30 out of about a liitle over 200. It was cold and windy!!!

After the race, I had to fill my car up with gas (gas is getting cheaper everyday now here. YEAH!!!). I got back at my apartment to get ready for work. At work, I had to do room service, be cashier, and serve all at the same time. I even helped out with Maintenance by taking down our huge Grand Opening sign outside.

After work, I received some e-mail that I won my age division with the FWTC. How awesome is that?! (Information about it at fwtc.org) I called a couple of friends to chill out and celebrate. That is when, for the first time in my life, I got drunk! I had a glass of White Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and two glass of Chianti. Afterwards, we went to a bar and did a shot of tequila (Patron). I also had half a glass of Vodka and Cranberry. We chilled back at one of my friend's place afterwards and drank so more. As for me, I didn't because I drove my car. Therefore, I stayed for about another hour, which made me regain my composure/status, and drove home safely. What a day and night!

Today, I got up with a small headache, but it went away because I ate breakfast. Then I did laundry, grocery and Christmas shopping, went to the car wash, vacuumed the car out, add air to the tires, work on Christmas lists for family and friends, get my work outfit ready for tomorrow, and write to all of you. Goes to show you all that I am usually busy every single day.

Well, gotta go. Got supper to make and chat with some family and friends. As for Thanksgiving, I will be working, which is cool. See ya everyone and write back on what has been happening with all of you. Deuces y'all.
