Listening to: Joe Satriani - Why

Has anyone watched the certifiable Blue Ray from the Police? Wow!! Very awesome. Well, if you liked the Police that is. Its the first concert I have watched that had TrueHD sound. Very nice indeed.

Matt--Congratulations on gettin' your license! Does this mean you could be a designated driver? I am a designated driver and it's worked out pretty well, except when someone pukes in my car--nasty! Oh, well. There's always bleach, iodine and white vinegar to get it out.

Al McKenna--- What a loaded pedal board you have!--nice equipment. Do you also have a power conditioner to cut out noise? They have those components for Stereophiles like my Steve and me for our power amp and combo control amp and tuner. We are upgrading our stereo-surround system to get into digital and 21st century technology.

loll - I have a PS3 that I watch BD on also. Best Blue Ray for the money hands down! Plus you get all the firmware updates. I don't know if I have a favorite moment. It's a very straight forward show. Andy Summers does a couple of good solos that you never get to hear on a a record. Kind of made me appreciate his guitar skills a little more. I always knew he was good, but he doesn't solo on their records. Stewart Copeland was AMAZING!! Before I started playing guitar, I played drums for many many years and he was one of my child hood heroes!! I really enjoyed Copeland working on a xylophone and all the verious little cymbals and timpani. It was just a great show. Oh ya, Sting had some GREAT combat boots straight out of 1978. He really tried to keep the punk look a little bit.

This was an excerpt from the Jam Base site about Joe playing with Particle.

Speaking of heavier guitars, Joe Satriani made his brief appearance memorable by showing off his virtuosity. At times he was leading the other guitarists to dizzying heights, while at other moments he was letting Metzger and Combe show their stuff, nodding and gesturing his appreciation of their ability. When Joe Satriani is giving you props, you are doing OK. He seemed impressed with DJ Logic's ability in the live setting as well, smiling when Logic worked his magic on the song "W."

Tostado - Have you heard of Lunatic Soul? I just found out about it today...it's a side project of Riverside's singer/bass player. He has a MySpace page set up for that project, where you can hear some of the album that was released last year.

That's a nice way to put it!

Two of the songs on this disc, Psycho Vertigo and Peephole, are from the Planet Us sessions Sammy did with Michael Anthony, Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo. These were recorded before Satch was a part of that project (we heard Joe with Planet Us on Rockline a few years ago), but they're still very cool to listen to.

I hear a bit of a warped Andalusia-type vibe in Peephole...I wonder if Satch drew from that at all.

Lay your hands on me....

Cube - just wondering, given your ability to conjur up original stuff, what made you suddenly cover Smiley Miley Cyrus? As in, of all the things you could have covered what was the inspiration for that?

Blue Moon - ha, yes, the ID thing in Reno. Funny for everyone else : ) Pedal board looks nice. Is it set to the under side of a flight case lid? Also, what are the valve looking items to the right of the super shifter?

JS1200JS1000 - yeah, that's wierd as F***. Still, a cool guitar no matter what

Roo - thanks for the pics of the JS3. Any idea how much he was asking (it would help value ours LOL)? Actually, that particular design I'm sure I've seen imitated on a lot of custom jobs

Satriella - hey (grumpy sounding), who said anything about only having them once a year? I just use it as a good excuse to get my ma to make me some of her specials : ) Aren't sausage rolls pigs in blankets?

Igneous - ahh, clipless pedals. If only I had video of the very first day I went out using them and forgot I didn't have the old strap version pedals (forgot what theyr'e called) any more. A very DOH moment....

Skippygirl - LMAO, Daddy Long Legs fingers... that's really funny. I think you'll find a technique that suits you, and as long as it sounds right that's the important bit, not the form. "A" pentatonic will serve you well if you're still shooting for Satch Boogie.... and, going to another point of yours I'd suggest one finger per fret if that makes sense?

Willie Burns - ouch ; )

Do The Stu - would that make you partial to a bit of Serendipity then? Enjoy Paul Gilbert

Ozzy Fudd - Happy Birthday for Sunday!

Michellebelle - did Stu do a little ballet move or something at the last gig you saw (when Joe introduced the band)?

Cosmic Ape - Paul Gilbert.. enjoy man! Wish I was going
