DTS- was a nightmare getting pre sale tix. My girl joined U2's site for $50 to get access code for pre-sale. Put the code in, all went well, ticketek allotted some seats, went one step back to check where the seats were, only to return to the purchase screen to find the code was now invalid. Jumped onto a forum to fond out it was happening all over. Next step was I joined U2's site for $50 to get another pre-sale code. This time round we just just took what they gave us.

You're more than welcome cheese! I'm glad that at least one person read my post. :0) Let me know if it doesn't work for you, we'll figure something out.

Been binging on Joe heavily for the past few days, I put the entire discography on my clip and let it play on random until it runs out... takes something like 14 hours total (I listen for just over 8 hours a day while working/driving) before I have to press play again and start over.

Of course I still need at least one listen of Fuzz Nation at some point too... boy howdee that album has really grabbed me by the nads.Anyone else addicted to it?

smooches,

Hi Joe,

(do not need to say am a big fan of your work).

I'm starting a free podcast for Mac programmers in spanish. I would like to use as intro "Ten Words". is this possible? Of course I'll inform the audience about the origin of the intro music.

I Live in Barcelona an i'll there for your next concert this fall.

Very nice tune you got there young fella. A lot of the harmonies remind me of Michael Schenker(think"Adventures of the Imagination"album) there's some Joe influence and even a hint of Vai in there too. All in all it's a damn fine effort mate.Keep it up!

Hi Joe!!!

Nice tune from the new disc, I´m sure I will love the complete album...

Shannon We'd love to see you and Freddy in Tahoe. After you buy your tickets, then you need the hotel. Since you're coming from so far away you probably want to drive down Friday and stay for two nights, so you need to book a hotel for Friday and Saturday night. Last time, I think I remember you got your room in Carson City, Nevada...but you can also try for South or North Lake Tahoe.

Try www.hotwire.com for a room for check-in on Sept 10, check out on Sept 12....I just searched for South Lake Tahoe, NV and also Carson City, NV and Reno, NV...there are rooms all over the place so it depends on how much you want to spend. The down side to using this website is you can't get a refund if you have to cancel. So you can also try www.hotels.com or www.kayak.com to compare a bunch of sites at once.

Food can take care of itself on the road :) Last year we all ate in Tahoe at Sammy's Cabo Wabo and everyone loved it!

diggin on the new song. It has a bit of a Deep Purple vibe. This album is sure going to have a different feeling than PSTMOR. Looking forward to it.

just heard Light Years Away through headphones.

my take right now is it's ok, but nothing fantastic. Seems kind of reminiscent of the Nascar samples he did a few years ago or maybe Chickenfoot without the punch. Maybe thats what he's going for on this but I almost feel like Sammy's gonna come in at any minute and start singing over it, and then...well he doesn't. And joe really doesn't take a soaring lead over it much so it seems to just hang mid tempo. Just kinda playing in the pocket?

I read somewhere on the net to expect more outta Premonition and Wormhole wizards, so well see.

BTW anyone else notice there's no Black Swans song on the disc? maybe it will be a bonus song somewhere....

oh, on diff note, I noticed they've been using a version of House Full of Bullets on Sportscenter highlights. Except it's not Joe just someone covering it, so I wonder how that works license wise for Joe? I imagine it costs less to license the music vs. the actual original recording. Anyway, its a sloppier version but definitely HFOB.

Austin DTS - Hey Bro..thanks for the Birthday wishes..you got it..it was today.

Light Years Away is awesome...very classic riffed and to hear a video is being filmed on this day..well it will be a song and video i will remember when im old and grey...this tune is just too f'n cool...and its nice to hear Jeff again...., asking Joe to wish me a Happy B-day is way out of line..so i wont :). Hope you all enjoy the awesome new music...and with how much Joe is excited about it....its just gonna get better...cant wait to hear the rest of GIC

I'm sorry for not getting the video up yet because it is taking much longer than it actually should. Hopefully within two days. Even though I said that a few days ago.

@Crystal Jammer- Isn't it considered stealing if they are using HFOB on their show regardless if somebody is covering or not?? I mean it isn't Youtube where people just put songs on all the time. Television has more rules when it comes to copyright infringement. Light Years Away has a good groove, nice powerful riffs, and a nice solo which has some fusion in it, which Joe doesn't usually venture into. But he did a nice job with it. It also had a hip-hop drum beat which I have never heard in a Satriani song before. But he did say a little bit of hip-hop would even be in the album. Although I personally like the song a lot, I sorta get what you're saying by it being ok, because it only has two different riffs, a short melody, and one solo. You think it sounds ok, because it is in a very simple form, which I understand. But his other song, It's So Good was in a simple form, but it's one of my favorites.

Here's Joe exact quote about It's So Good: "It was exciting to craft this one because there are layers of guitar- rhythm, melody, solo- but it's built around a simple chord pattern. It just felt so right. The groove was so deep. Some Bob Marley songs are like that: They're so powerful, yet when you look at them you go, 'Oh, my God, everyone is playing so little!' Then, once the lyric is added, it becomes a really strong statement. But, since this is an instrumental, I tried to find unique, fun sounds for all the guitars that would pull it all together in that same way."
