Do The Stu: I love those songs on the SF DVD, probably because they're played by real musicians with a real feel into it. They don't even sound the same. What I don't like is the synthetic tone of the album. Lack of feeling, but that's highly subjective and dependant on each one's sensitivity. In my case, it doesn't work. To be honest, EOC sounds to me like an experiment that Joe himself has decided to discontinue. If he was that happy with the result, I think he would have continued to develop that kind of sound which as we know, didn't happen.
McKenna: your use of "lesser fans" is imo a little presumptuous. Is it part of being a “great” fan enjoying everything JS does?

Hi Joe...get well soon after chads misadventure....you have plenty of silly hats to wear....maybe you think of using them for the rest of the shows ...just in case LOL or maybe all come on in padded suits on the last gig just for a laugh!
PtRocker - Somtimes its just not the right time to like something....keep trying every now and then...one day it might hit you as something good...
Don1963 - Phew what a trip...I know what its like..I did 3 joe shows in 3 days last year and it is a great ride...look forward to the pictures...I cant believe joe swore though...joe never swears...must have really really hurt for him to resort to that. Congratulations on the 19th Anniversary
Campbell - Glad you and the dog are ok....happened to me once...I was listening to a mate play guitar and when he had finished I leapt up and clapped which startled the dog who went for me LOL
do the stu - Welcome back...grand canyon trip sounds great...enjoy your shows next month...addicted to bubble spinner now...I have a game called jewel quest on my phone which is similar...addicted to that too LOL
Hugyamuchilous!

HI All- I too gave EOC a listen. I have to say I was surprised that I liked a lot of it . Techno has not been a genre I have spent much time listening to. But it's Joe and it has his stamp on it .
I loved Champagne?. So bubbly . I notice not many mention that song. It has to be the ultimate feel good song for me. And notice I said for me, I know as fans we all have different tastes . I enjoyed Power cosmic part 1, Attack, Devils Slide(but mostly the live in SF version), Flavor Crystal 7, Until We Say Goodbye. and I am sure a couple others I can't remember at the moment.
. Isn't great that Joe has albums that have different styles that are beautiful and can appeal to our different preferences?
I think I like his different albums because I love the way he writes the songs and the way he plays that guitar. And that his heart for his fans and people is HUGE. (the sense of humor is added plus)
Okay, I have rambled on enough for now .

It seems I'm alone with this EOC opinion!!!
I love every other JS album, but this one just can't seem to get through...
Do you guys/gals love ALL of his albuns? What's your least favourite album?
Well, just out of curiosity, here are my fav albuns:
- Strange Beautiful Music
- Crystal Planet
- SwtA / FiaBD (can really distinguish them)

Pip55 - Hmmm...I don't remember hearing about any problems like that with Eric. It sounds familiar that Joe and band had customs problems at a show a few years ago...but I thought that was going into Canada, not coming back.
He definitely hasn't had a falling out with Joe, or anything like that...if you look close you'll see his name in the liner notes of everything since EOC (as well as CP and G397).
He did work on the GNR live compilation that came out a few years ago, and was also doing Chinese Democracy stuff...I bet that's kept him busy and paid well enough for him to not have to do much else.
ptrocker - I hear a lot of feeling on EOC, it just sounds different. ;-)
I'm pretty sure EOC and JS95 are the two albums of Joe's that have sold the fewest copies...so I'd guess that's why we don't hear many of those songs live or hear those styles again on newer albums. It's a bit disappointing, but I guess I understand it.
EDIT - I just saw your latest post, and you're not alone in your opinion...trust me. You're just the only one who spoke up right now. ;-)
joe satriiani - I did four shows in four days last year...that was A LOT of fun, but it did wear me out!
And that's funny about Bubble Spinner...I actually haven't played it for a few weeks, but when I dug up the link to post here I've started doing it again.
Peace Lily - Champagne? is my favorite song on EOC, and one of my favorites overall. Joe's solo section at about the 4:00 mark is some of the best playing I've ever heard from him.
It's been a while since Joe has pushed the boundries creatively, in my opinion...it'd be awesome if his next solo album is "out there" in some way. As he's writing I'm sure he'll want to save some ideas for Chickenfoot, so I wonder what we'll get instead.
Listening to: Dave Matthews Band - Remember Two Things (current song: Christmas Song)
...Austin...

Rayosh-If you could post links to your covers of you versions of the song I personally would absolutely love to hear them!
I love powerful lyrics, but I also love Joe's soulful depths that he travels to. If the lyrics you write enhance the songs, then I'm all for it!
Keep us updated!
I've decided to work on my long standing Egyptian project, I have some cool chords in mind. Using a Hungarian Minor Scale, which is also a Byzantine Scale, which happens to also be a gypsy scale, which also is an Egyptian scale, which by coincidence is under the Diatonic form of scales.
Damn, music is such twisted wonderful world of confusion eh?
I'll let you all know what happens, and thanks everyone again for your good reviews, I keep me going and inspired.

Do The Stu: The lack of feelin I refer to is on the rythm section. That's probably why I like the DVD versions. But Joe's playing is there and I could tell this was Joe even if it was the first time I heard it :)
JS95 is my second least favourite album of him, I just didn't want to emphasize my dislikes about JS' albuns that much... I felt I was getting enough wood to burn talking about EoC :p
Oddly, it starts with one of my favs tunes (Cool #9). One of the few songs that I prefer the studio version to the album's.

Vasco P - In and of itself I like EOC, Borg Sex is one of my favourite tracks (the concept is fantastic). Having said that, I don't normally reckon much to techno rock/pop. A couple of years ago I had a bit of a disagreement with some 'experts' on here when I said I preferred real instruments to programmed crap. I ended up being told how stupid I was and if it is good enough for Joe then it is good enough for anybody. The bottom line for me though, is that if you don't dig it then you don't dig it, you like what you like and bollox to anyone who tries to tell you different.

Dear Citizens,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in
the economy, I, President Obama have decided to implement a scheme
to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early retirement.
This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered
for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination) .
Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the
SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired-Early Workers).
A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times
as I, President Obama deem appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance).
Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or
SCREWED any further by me, President Obama.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much
SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. I, President
Obama have always prided myself on the amount of SHIT I give our
citizens.
Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring
this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to
give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
President Obama
P.S.
Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity,
gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at
the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

600 litres of wine - shit man yeah! Maybe we should all keep track of the amount of booze we drink in one year starting Jan 1? Of course it would be an approximate count beings that once you get yer buzz on, you might need an abacus to keep track. lol! Jayzus! Imagine trying to keep track of that! lmao! Do we count by the can, bottle, glass, cup, flask, shot glass, and boot? Austin would have to make some sort of chart to make it the same across the board.
Keniko, Cappy's talkin' out his ass again. lol! I keep my sharp sticks in the closet for the most part, but if ya want me to I could poke ya with it just for shits and giggles :-)

Jesus and the Burglar
A burglar broke into a house and shined his flashlight around looking for valuables.
He picked up a CD player when a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying: 'Jesus is watching you.' He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked off his flashlight and froze.
When he heard nothing more he continued. Just as he pulled the stereo out he heard: 'Jesus is watching you.'
Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically. Finally, in the corner of the room his light beam came to rest on a parrot.
Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot. 'Yep,' the parrot confessed, then squawked, 'I'm just trying to warn you that he's watching you.'
The burglar relaxed. 'Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?'
Moses,' replied the bird.
Moses?' the burglar laughed. 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'
"The kind that would name a Rottweiler Jesus."
