Wow. I haven't logged in to this forum in probably 6-7 years, and I see the same people posting. I'm not sure whether to be humbled by your loyalty to Joe Satriani, or to be dumbfounded by your inabilities to expand and immerse yourselves in other artists and genres, the same way you can with Joe.

I wouldn't be saying this normally, but seeing Joe's new release is disillusioning for me. He has a formula wrapped up tight, that, for some reason, he won't stray from. His studio albums have become routine, and his live recorded CD/DVDs have been rehashed time and again. New lighting--ooh, ahh! He'll play his new songs, and Satch Boogie and Always with Me Always with You for the 5 MILLIONTH time. He needs to dig deeper into his catalogue and do something truly creative with it.

I was a die-hard fan just like you guys. But something happened to the image of Joe I held so highly--he's sullied it by boring, repetitive releases, in the name of "staying busy" as an instrumental guitarist. A true artist must create increasingly wondrous works as they age, not decline.

Bring on the flames >_<

Get A Loaf - well, you'll get what you wanted I'm sure.

First, l'm curious as to how you could possibly know that people who post here over a long time have "inabilities to expand and immerse themselves in other artists and genres, the same way you can with Joe" - do you know all of the interests and other pursuits each long-term-poster has???
How do you know they don't post on other forums in the universe and have other interests?

Even if T2J is the main form of online activity for people, the problem is what exactly? That they consistently enjoy a performing artist's work and like talking about it with others?

Secondly, you are entitled to your opinion about the evolution of Joe's work.
Me, I totally agree with Joe, and he's said this in many interviews, that it is not his job as an artist to try to produce work that he thinks people will like. All he can do is do what he enjoys and wants and put it out there. I for one, appreciate what he does publish and no, I haven't tired of it, I would give my left nut to see him in concert again.

Respect.

get a loaf, " I'm not sure whether to be humbled by your loyalty to Joe Satriani, or to be dumbfounded by your inabilities to expand and immerse yourselves in other artists and genres, the same way you can with Joe. " How would you know who is where on the internet and what other sites we go to? That's a pretty broad sweep, and not a nice one. I'd say you might have a few inabilities yourself with that statement.

If you're so disenchanted with Joe and his music,why come back here and complain to those of us who are enchanted?

Or maybe you'd just like me to fire up my CHAINSAW on your sorry arse!?!?!?

MJK, yer such a geek, LOL!! Just go on with yer bad self! :D And before you post it, NO!!!!!

Skips, thanks for that lil reminder of A Cool New Way, that's aaaaaaanother one of my favorite Joe-songs, so now I'ma have to get that album out and listen at work today :)

Austin.......U.....AVERAGE amount??? Holee gad!! You do realize that at prolly an average of $10 per cd, you coulda almost bought a car...okay, a little car, but STILL!! LOL!! I think Chris has between 200-300 cds in his collection but that includes some odd stuff like backing tracks or compilations he's made himself, so those don't really count. Fer me, I still have room in my case that holds....100. lol!!

So Marshall....lets make it another 6-7 years, k? That'll be just fine! You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but, well.....you honestly haven't been missed. Ta-ta.

HAVE FUN TONIGHT JOE!!! Who keeps an eye on Mike in a place like Cabo? I have a feeling he has a GRRRREAT time there, LOL!!

A vaguely interesting post by Get a life.

Personally I feel that Joe hasn't done anything new since ITLIS, sure the musicianship as ever is superb but he's not stretching himself at all. Having said that, he's having a ball with Chickyfoot and generally doing just what he feels like doing which is great. Sometimes we just gotta stop and smell the roses and have some fun.

Unlike many here i'm not desperate for another solo Joe release, i'd rather wait until he has something new and different even if it's a bit "out there". I'm not a Chickyfoot lover but don't dislike it (just nothing different so far). Hopefully a bit more time and thought will go into the next one and we'll get something special.

@SkippyGirl- You're right. Joe doesn't make music specifically to please the audience and his fans. He makes music that is beautiful and entertaining to him. He is just so good at making music that it is not only really good to him, but it is to his fans.

*edit get a loaf. I don't think you fully understand or truly love Joe's music. Just because we are huge fans of Joe doesn't mean we don't love other performing artists or bands. My favorite band is The Police and I wish I could have gone to one of their concerts. But they did their last show together in 2006 or 07. All I can do now is listen and enjoy their music off my iPod. Be glad that Joe is still around making great music and pleasing his fans. Most guitarists retire way before his age.

Get a loaf - I'd say "welcome back" because I remember you and I really do miss your posts, but I'm confused why you returned only to make the type of post that you did.

A lot of the familiar names are still here because we've formed friendships with each other. If you want to know what happened here in the six years you were away, well, there's your answer.

The rest of your post just doesn't make sense. We were all posting about other music (new CDs) just yesterday, and the Live In Paris project and Joe's approach to setlists/playing live have both been criticized in the past few months.

I normally wouldn't spend this much time on a response to a post like yours, but as I said I remember you and I'd like to think that's worth giving you the benefit of the doubt.


cheese101 - Yeah, I know I've spent a lot of money on music, but it's been spread out over 15 years or so...looking at it that way, there aren't many other things I would have rather bought. I still have all of it, and I always will.

Long time mo see ..In case you don't know who this is? I'm that guy who used to tick peoples off several occasions due to the fact I was flame by Vai-Brother-In-Law aka AVARICE aka "clarky" or whoever it was , This is where the dramas flow against me as I flaming everybody like maire, prman, intergalactic and list goes on but most of it happened in chatroom long long time ago , But..I back off for several years, I made a come back in Talk To Joe about a year or 2 ago, I live and learn from other people mistakes including my own mistakes

The bottom line is this, What made you decide to come back and throw in your point of views base upon your intelligent, your knowledge minfd? Personally I feel it is okay to speak your mind freely with you being straight forward about Talk To Joe members on here, I'm not here to start a debate with you nor anyone on here , Just sharing you about my thoughts and feelings
