Cheese- Lol ! You gots to fix it... I wuz afraid I'd bingle it up . Lets see

God Is Crying

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!! If the rest of the cd follows that vibe, sweet jesus, it's gonna be great!

It's just cruel to spring this on me so close to bedtime. lol! Now I'm super jacked and I have a half hour to try to get my heart back to a normal rhythm. lol!

Opening page is huuuuge! Wish my monitor was that big. lol! I dig this page. Better than the screaming WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE page. lol! That one always caught me with my speakers up. lol!

Austin, S'up wit dat?

T2J is running soooooo sloooooowwwwww tonight.

Jayzus, this is exciting today! lol! Fun! Fun! Fun!

My name is Michelle and I'm a Satchaholic baby!

Awww, the link is up proper now on the home page of Satriani.com, excellent job Mr. Webmaster Luini! :)

AAAAAAAAWESOME, I agree chelle, "what is your purpose" got me every damn time cuz my speakers were always set on BLAST mode, lol!! Now I'll hafta be careful again but holeeeeee schlamoleeeeeeeee I'm lovin' the sound of this tune!!! MORE MORE MORE!! Please and thank you!

Bedtime? Who the heck can sleep with all this excitement!!

liverpool lad, yer tickets don't go on presale until August 24th, that's why u can't buy them yet....the Club Joe packages might not be available for your show, since there's no link for it yet, but those links sometimes show up later so don't give up hope.

Chris has been trying for the last hour to make a ringtone of the sound sample....he just brought me my phone and said he'd try again tomorrow, he was tired and wanted to go to bed....then walked into his bedroom and called my phone...where I heard some very funky sounds coming from it, LOL!! He did it, but it's a pretty short version of it.

Gotta give him props, I wouldn't even know where to start such a thing, and he's persistant and brilliant!! lol!

Joe, I'll happily buy all yer ringtones, can you put some of the new album up? Do we hafta wait for the album release, or could we have it sooner...I dunno that side of things, but I think it must be done!!!

I'm really excited to get the whole album...is it October 5th YET!!!!! I pre-ordered two cd's but I just KNOW they won't be here on the 5th, it's usually a couple days later...so I may hafta go on the hunt fer a store cd on the day of :) Who needs 3 cds? ME!!!!

MY NAME IS SKIPPY AND I'M A SATCHAHOLIC YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the new front page pic!

Love God is Crying. Thanks for the links Peace and Cheese (now there's a band name).

Ordered my CD's (that makes 3 in total including the Amazon one but 2 will be signed). How long after ordering did peeps receive their pre-sales code thingy??

I assume the cities listed for Leg 2 are in order, so if it's western Canada first at the start of Jan it looks like I'll miss out but maybe February fingers crossed, or December, hell I have no idea but I'll try!

roo - earth to roo? I presume the iphone app is not able to be upgraded then? I had found it easy to post from the iphone so bit of a bugger if that's the case.

Happy Satch Day everyone!! Still stoked that BSAWW is released on my birthday.

Glitzy - hope you had a great time seeing Dave Weiner.

The new album title is cool.

The Teaser sounds good... but why the heck the hand clap effects again ;-)

And I hope the mix and mastering is better than the compressed sound on Professor...

OK, now that things are officially out there...

- I love the album title...definitely one of my favorites from Satch, even if it's a bit similar to Dream Theater's Black Clouds & Silver Linings.

- I generally don't like Joe's album covers because they're usually just a picture of him and a guitar. That's the case here again...BUT, among all of the "Joe and a guitar" covers, this one is my favorite.

- God Is Crying is my favorite first sound clip from Satch going back to at least Strange Beautiful Music (I don't remember if we got one ahead of that album, but if we did I guess it was Starry Night?). But I like this clip more than I Just Wanna Rock, Super Colossal, and Hands In The Air. I wonder if it'll be the "single."

Skippy- Check your spam folder, that's where my CD order email went. I ordered 2 myself!

I am definitely wanting to hear more of God Is Crying... First couple of seconds had me thinking about Crowd Chant, then it kind of merged in to the Big Bad Wah promo stuff that Joe did a while back. I'll bet this is gonna be a pretty effects heavy album given the way he's been playing the last year or so and the sound of God Is Crying. Joe is definitely a master of effects. That's an art in and of itself as far as I'm concerned and I love hearing Joe work his magic.

I'm sure I'm dreaming to hope that there might be a DVD from this tour too.... They have filmed tours from the last 2 albums so maybe it's not that far fetched. For that matter, has anyone heard any more about the possibility of there being an unaffected version of LIP released? I haven't read anything about it in awhile, so I'm assuming it's either on the back burner, or it got scratched completely.

hi everyone! - you've all seen the news and heard the tune teaser so far, i'm sure, so i'm going to just respond to a few other questions i saw here in T2J...

new newsletter - new newsletter should be in inboxes with a summary of all of the news. also posted as a news item here and of course over on facebook which we are continuing to use moving forward since we have such a huge number of folks we can reach there. come join in if you haven't yet -- www.facebook.com/joesatriani

Canada shows & presales - the system that sony is using for the cd and ticketing they can only run in the US which is why canada dates don't have that offer. however, there will still be a presale and the codes for those are posted on the road page-- it's just a more wide open one (which we feel is better than none!) instead of using a secret code. CLUB JOE packages will be available for all shows and the presale codes will get you access to those once the presale starts, should you be interested.

aftershow pass giveaways - yes, we are continuing to do these for just about all shows (festivals are usually the only exceptions).

more videos! - we have plans for a video for the first single, plus we have over 50 hours of footage from the rehearsal and recording of the album that we are pulling some special webisode podcasts from. we are also going into sammy's pad in about a week to record our now-standard intros with joe talking about each song. these will run in the days leading up to the release date and we have a few cool new ideas in the works that we know you'll dig.

God Is Crying... is not the first single, but it's a real nice teaser of the album that Joe picked out to share with y'all :}

un-affected live in paris - i'm happy to report that we received a copy of an unaffected edited version of this and joe has selected a few tracks to be plucked out to appear on an exclusive version of BSAWW. details to come on that as they develop.

site updates, fan artwork, etc - i have to apologize for the lack of action here. we have lots of photos and art people have sent but amidst chickenfoot activities, satriani.com got put on the back burner for a while. as you can see, we are back into full on SOLO mode here now, but we are thinking about some bigger changes for the site so going through that stuff will probably not happen until after we work through that. but nothing will be lost and we'll let you know more as it develops!
