I just finished watching all of the podcasts (thus far) and I must say that I'm impressed with the level of diversity in this album. Dream Song sounds amazing, but Pyrrhic Victoria is certainly the attention grabber. The chorus made me think of a hollywood blockbuster (ala Armageddon) where some cataclysmic event had just been averted by some hero type.

Hey, maybe they could pick up that song for the Silver Surfer movie that has been talked about for about 15 years or so. :)

Peace Lily - Great interview...thanks for sharing!

I'm curious about this part:

It’s a melodic groove fest that blends the stuff fans really like with elements they’ve wanted to hear more of: High octane guitar playing, a looser rhythm section, and group interaction

It's not a quote, but I wonder if that's the interviewer's own interpretation or if it's based off something Joe said.

And for people wondering about the switch to Marshall:

Part of the problem I had with Peavey is that after the amp initially came out, the changes that I wanted to see made to the amp were way too slow in coming. During the production of the Chickenfoot album we were working on a 50-watt head, and there was just no progress. It was grinding to a halt and I was wondering, “What is going on with you guys? How come there isn’t an engineer working on this stuff for me?”

I suspected that might have been the problem.

Do the Stu - 3rd row!! Nice!! Catch a pick for me!!

My CD just left Memphis for OKC. It's on time schedule for tomorrow delivery.

Thanks :)

Finally, an email saying my cd's have shipped....tracking sez....UPS has rcvd billing information.

Sigh....soooo, there it sits. I'm prolly in the same boat as you Bob, it'll hopefully be waiting for me in the mail when I get home from Napa :) But ahh well, I'm stopping at Redding Best Buy for the cd with the bonus tracks, so I guess it doesn't matter so much...unless of course I can get the cd's Saturday or Monday, lol!

Thanx Phydeaux3...thats a funky tune ...I clicked on the interview link too

love this excerpt ~

(interviewer) Are there any moments you can remember that someone has told you about your music or about you that has shocked you or surprised you in any way?

(Joe) Usually, it’s strippers who will come up to me after a show. I’ve never been to a strip club, so I don’t know what they do in there. But I get that a lot, believe it or not. Strippers come up and tell me how they love my music and they use it in their routines all the time. I think that’s pretty cool (laughs).

LMAO!!!!

link to just the interview HERE

Two Sides to Every Story- Hmm another surprise...kinda Steely Dan..ish...really groovin to it...but Joe, please shred my speakers..soon!

@scubadaz - yeah, the sites getting hammered, it's pretty overwhelmed at this point.. just give it some time, should sort itself out once demand goes down a little.

Bored? Wanna shoot up some web pages Asteroids-style? Here you go. Works great.
Have fun!

Going to the Toronto show, Nokia theatre, and cleavland Ohio show... Cant wait to see and meet Joe in person!!!

Tracie- I'll be right there with you guys. Pit AA row 3 seats 8 and 9. Like I told Austin, I would love to have got seats in the BB pit in front of Joe, but I didn't wanna risk waiting for those to come up, and ticketmaster wouldn't do the presale over the phone. Brian must have got pretty lucky picking those up, but it would be nice if they would sit with the rest of us! We've almost got row 3 wiped out!

Ian

*EDIT

Peace- I just saw your post about Joe's 'fresh' set list... certainly made my day!!! Maybe this will be a Dog With Crown and Earring tour... I should have bought a ticket for Napa, too!!

Joe Satriani- I will give you one million dollars if you film a show on the BSAWW tour; preferably in Reno or Spokane... :)

P.S.- Since I don't have a million dollars, I'll just promise to buy at least 3 DVD's if you do. This is the perfect time for a DVD; you're gonna be playing stuff you've NEVER played live before?! Gotta preserve that for posterity!

Good thing we got in early for Reno tix- according to ticketmaster, there are no more seats available in the orchestra pit! I'm sure there are some set aside for the venue and the regular sale, but the presale sure went quick!

I'll stop piling up posts now.

Bob...yeah, there are two bonus tracks that will be available through iTunes for purchasing but they are also releasing a Best Buy exclusive cd with the tracks on them, so I'm buying one of those on our way to Napa on Tuesday :)))

Ian, yer a post whore today, LOL....Brian was yesterday...tch tch, u boys.....anyway, YEAH we take up the 3rd row :) I'm glad u made it into the presale too, and are gonna be our neighbors for the show :)

Strippers Joe...REALLY? Wow, I think I've seen a few of them at the shows I've been to.......wonder which of your songs are their favorites to dance to....

Best tweets of the day - from Sully

Trying to enjoy a nap on my day off but some dude is railing his old lady to godsmacks 1st album on the otherside of my wall.

Chelle....gotta love Sully, LOL! I'm soooo enjoying his cd Avalon, let my office "neighbor" listen to it yesterday...he's gonna go out to get it this weekend, loved it!

I just realized, we'll prolly get our free cd's at the Napa gig before my pre-ordered, pre-paid for cd's get here in the mail...go figger, LOL! I'll take it any way I can get it.
