GlitzMan...Today I'm trying to find my wife a car to drive. A couple of saturdays ago she got schmucked from behind waiting at a red light. She was'nt hurt and it's a good thing my kids were'nt with her. Anyways..insurance totaled the car and we're getting back enough to pay off the loan and have a little bit left over to buy something else. It's a lot harder to find something decent when money IS an object...we only have a couple of grand to work with.

Blog entry from Ross Halfin on Feb 10th....

February 10 Got up at 5am and flew up to San Francisco. I'm doing a shoot with Chickenfoot, the new group with Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith. It was so early after driving out to Mill Valley, an hour north, it was still only 10am - sunny and freezing. The band arrived eventually with Sammy last at 2pm and he only lives up the street. Shoot quite a lot with solos, group stuff, ads, you name it.

Ah...I did a lot of cleaning this morning. It's a lot of work, but it feels good...

Britney Spears and I were both born in Louisiana, but I don't have to like her. In fact, I'm quite vocal about not liking her. ;-)

Hey Joe, thanks for the on line lessons. I've been playing for years but with two kids- full time job etc it's hard to keep up with my chops. I appreciate the insight and know how. Keep up the great work. And as always, thanks for making such great music. ( strange but beautiful ) Talk to you later.

UP WITH JOE

DOWN WITH COLDPLAYGERIZE

Glitzman, sorry I am nowhere near Wimbledon. I am north London, Hertfordshire, just a bit East , probably about 70 miles away.

I can recommend a good book to ya though! My other half picked up a copy of 'Serious' by John McEnroe in the summer, but never read it. I picked it up out of boredom (on holiday), & LOVED it...LOL (I do not like tennis at all!). So there ya go! I suppose being as it's an autobiography it's a bit like being a bit nosey!!

Hi,

To answer the questions some of you asked me. My debut album is almost finished. It'll be out in late April '09. Until then, I really can't put anything up online. The guitar I love and use is a Reverend Flatroc. I also have a custom-made (or rather custom-enhanced) guitar I call the Tremolo guitar. I've been borrowing high-quality amps (Vox, Two-Rock, etc.) up until now from my local independent guitar shop, and other local musicians, but if it sounds decent I'm going to pick up one of those purple Marshall half-stacks that are on special at a major guitar chain store. I'm not big on pedals at all, but I do have an octave pedal (Octavia). I prefer the natural distortion you get from putting the knobs at 10 (or 11).

Coldplay admitted plagerism

"We're one of the world's worst—but most enthusiastic—plagiarists as a band. We'll try and copy anything but tend to fail, so we come up with something...that sounds like us—only through trying to sound like somebody else."

Mckenna, of course I know where Cape Town is without googling it...it's up yer Irish arse :) AND I'm betting it's like.....summer there, right? ;) I loooooove uuuuuuuuu......

FO42958....actually, I think you're being a tad overly-sensitive re: the Coldplay bashing on this particular site. If you read back over the posts since this broke in the news, you will find some derogatory posts, to be sure....but no where NEAR the amount of nasty ones that you can find over on the Coldplay posting board. I've been following the threads over there and it's awful and painful to see what everyone has to say about Joe. I don't want to see either of them put down. Joe is doing what he has to do to protect his musical integrity and his art, and Coldplay is responding how they feel they need to. I know personally that Joe is a wonderful and kind person. And can only guess about Coldplay members but suppose they are too. Again I say...leave it to the legal-eagles to sort it all out. There's no need to resort to name-calling no matter who you love and support. Most arguments have valid points on both sides, if people are willing to be mature enough to consider that fact. Only time will tell.

Meanwhile...this IS Joe's house. We love him here. And there's plenty of other stuff to talk about besides this court case that none of us have any say in, or control over. Believe it or not, we even talk about other bands here :)

Awww, had to post again cuz this is cool :)

New Last Jam...Montreux 2002...yes, it's THOSE pants but just watch and listen, lol!!

Those pants need to be brought back for ChickenPA!~ unless Joe goes all Cabo Wabo on us. lol! Galen looks like such a young man, and now he's all growed up and married! *sniff* They grow up so fast!

Mas Tequila!

I hope DT's new cd doesn't have feckin ants on the cover. That's just nasty!

chelle, I'm thinkin those 2002 pants would akshully fit right in with the cabo wabo vibe AND we know Joe still fits in them, dammit, lol.......unless u were referring to the string bikinis.....ummmm...I don't think I wanna see ANY of the guys in dem, tanks....although I've heard Sammy can be quite wild...hmmmmm.....

How aboot we stick mc in the thong fer the ChickenPA show and let the guys on stage wear their jeans, shorts or other assorted nano-pants?

T-Bones, Joe is a hairy Italian, and I don't know about you, but I don't wanna see none of that in a string bikini! lmao! With or without manscaping! Equally as disturbing is seeing Mc's lilly white Irish ass in a thong! I don't wanna see ANY guy in a thong ffs! Let's just stick to bigger britches that not only cover the meat and potatoes, but the back of the house too. Please & thanks.

lmao!!

I think we've gone to far!

BLAME CANADA!

nah nah nah, I said I DINT wanna see Joe or any of the guys in a thong, but offered up mckenna in case at least one person was required. But yer right of course, we don't need to see that...we've already seen too much as it is, LOL.....

Meat and potatoes, LMAO!!!

I agree JS!!!! Ah ya a new DT album!! woohoo C'mon JP!! and yes no ants! I'm becoming impatient with ChickenFoot, I want to hear some more already! I've listened to the clip on the site a million times already!

okay well, I'm confused but what's new.

In THIS vid of New Last Jam (posted it earlier)....

Joe plays on a double-neck guitar obviously...but I'm wondering why the double neck? Mc 'splained to me that one was standard tuning, one was open tuning and Joe says the top neck is all tuned to E which would be the open tuning...I get that okay...but what I don't understand is why? When I listened to this at 1:12 with Joe using the top neck, and then compare it to 4:02 with him using the bottom neck...they sound the same to me....? I'm no player at all, so I'm sure I'm missing something crucial here as to why, lol....

But why the double neck...and I was also wondering if Joe has used a double neck guitar on any other songs besides New Last Jam?

Damn! My Steve is so taken with Carla Bruni he is in a trance because of her sexy voice and pictures!! So much for valentines day! I guess I have get into a strict exercise regimine, get as slender as Carla and speak with a whispery, sultry voice! AND learn to speak French and Italian! Sigh!!

Hey, guys is Carla that attractive? Did you see her on the David Letterman show? He was so nervous, he was stuttering! Yikes!

Next thing you know she'll be on stage with Joe and Sammy Hager and they will be melting at her feet!

Joe, Please be careful or Carla will charm your socks off!

He ain't heavy......he's McKennnnnnnnaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Tracie and Michelle--Did either one of you say he has a cute arse??? Wow! When a young man picks up a guitar and plays it like.........welll....like Al McKenna, I gotta watch closely, because it's sooo compelling and contagious........."Crazy Little Thing Called Love"!!!!!! OOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE!!! I'm an Annggglllllooophile and a sentimentalist and I just can't help it!!!!
