Pip55Big Bunny - Hi! The bassist is a super nice guy called Allen Whitman, he's funny, really fits the group well, and can't wait to get out on tour : )

thanx Pip! hopefully Joe will tour Oz next year... all i need now is for Sony to send me the signed cd :/ bummed that i'll have to phone the credit card people... that means talking to a stoopid machine >_< doh!

Hy I'm Krisztian from Hungary and I'm waiting for you!!!!,but also I wolud like to ask something. I have a JS1200 and maybe is it possible to ask you a signature to my guitar somehow?,maybe after the Budapest concert or anyway?

We got 'em! Our codes worked right away, too.

Third row, Tracie and I got in right next to each other so our seats are together...woohoo! Third row! :-)

WOOT, SCORE!!!

Austin and I got great seats for the Reno show, he got 3, I got 4 and we ended up right next to each other in the Pit, WOOHOO!

Hey Joe please come to Saskatchewan I can't find anyone to go road trippin' with me to Calgary or Edmonton. The last Edmonton show you did with Mountain was too awesome.

Interview: Joe Satriani - Into the Wormhole

~ premierguitar.com ~October 2010 ~

*an excerpt from the end of the interview~

Any surprises for the upcoming tour?

(JOE)- I think the whole tour is going to be a surprise. As I look at the set list, we’re playing a lot of the new album, and we’re pulling out a lot of songs that either I’ve never played live before, or haven’t been in the set list for years. For those people who’ve seen us live, they’re gonna see a lot of surprises.

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!

@Hybes,

Enjoy!

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!!
