Hi Everyone and Happy "Rock-tober".
Happy Birthday Sammy Hagar!
Axeshredderjc, Distorted Soul, Skippygirl, Peace Lily, Burly, Cheese101, Michelle, Do The Stu, js1200js1000, Cosmic Ape, Fatape, Blue_Moon, Dream3, Roo, GoldenGirl2, and EVERYONE:
Hope everyone is well. I received both my BSAWW CDs (the original and the one with the two bonus songs) about a week ago. Haven't had a chance to give it a listen, but I will eventually.
Work is coming along well. I have today off so therefore I can get caught up with a number of things, including writing to you all. Earlier today, I had a phone interview with a business/radio station. It went alright and I'll find out next week about the position. As of right now, I'll have to stick with what I have.
Running is coming along well. I have two races coming up this month. First one is this Sunday (a 5-Miler). This is probably one of my favorite runs because all the money/proceeds go to Riley Children's Hosptial. Next Sunday is a 10K and it's a popular downtown race. Over 800 participated last year and I wonder how many they'll be this year. Veteran's Day weekend (in November), I'll be running the Veterans Marathon again and hoping to qualify for Boston.
I'm also looking forward to the Huff 50K in December. Unfortunately, from what I have heard, this is the last year they might be doing this, which disappoints me. It's on December 18th in Huntington at the J. Edward Roush Lake, Kil-So-Quah Campgrounds in Huntington, Indiana, starting at 8:00 A.M.
Joe, you're in Cleveland on the 17th and going to Chicago on the 19th. Think you could stop by here in Indiana on the 18th, and give a shout out or a good luck for this ultra-marathon that I'm doing? All the best to you and your crew on all the gigs and tour stops.
Hope everyone here is doing well. Keep in touch via Facebook, e-mail, text, or whatever if you want to reach me. Chat with you peeps later, I got some running to put in a little later. \m/
Grant

Seeing that JOE himself posted a link of this rap song on his FB account, it is pretty clear that he is o.k. with it. Maybe he was contacted prior the making of the song? Maybe the artist (and I use this term loosely) purchased the license for it??? Who knows! I'm not familiar with the legal frames regarding sampling.
I look at sampling the same way I look at "Guitar Hero". I personally don't care for them but:
1. I expect the artists to be compensated for their work being used.
2. If people find new music and hear about artists they would not have otherwise through the interaction with these devices, then I think in the end it is worth it.
On the other hand, there is nothing more annoying that some prick thinking he can now play guitar because he is awesome at "Guitar Hero". Five buttons/6 strings and 21-24 frets, yeah that's the same!!!
For those who do pick up an instrument after playing the game, though, I salute you! Rant over...

Joe, I was just wondering...what makes you decide that a song doesn't quite "make the cut" to be on an album....I've been listening to the entire 13 tracks of Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards and....welllll, I can't see why Heartbeats and Longing DON'T fit in....they go nicely with the rest of the album, in my opinion of course. Was just wondering, from a professional point of view, what's the differences in these 2 songs/reasoning behind you feeling as though they don't fit?
I'm totally thrilled you went ahead and put them out there, just like with Ghosts :) I say the more Joe, the better!

Rhythmsteady - No prob. The hardest thing is just making time. Also, don't forget the advantages to practicing without an amp. While it won't help you with muting (something I still struggle with) it does help you to clean up your timing.
Peace Lily - See you at the Portland show.
EDIT: Also if anyone is/knows a drummer in the Portland, OR area send them my way. I'll also be looking for a partner in shred to round out the band. samples HERE

Joe -
Absolutely LOVE the new album!!
We (wife, 2 boys, & I) play it constantly here.
Can't wait to see you in January. Had tickets for the Napa gig, but had to give them to some friends as our son's baseball team advanced in the playoff's and we were traveling then.
Did catch Rush (of course! - haven't missed a tour since "Permanent Waves") & Iron Maiden this summer.
Unrelated, but your friend Neal Schon's song "Don't Stop Believing" has been used in a cool way for the Giants playoff run here. I'm actually an A's fan, but the Giants have been fun to watch (although I'm hoping for the Ranger's to win it all).
Sorry, not sure how to make it clickable;

Does anyone know how I can buy 2 Meet & Greet packages? I bought just the tickets because when I clicked the club package just the regular tickets came up. I really want my son's first concert to be one he will never forget. The plan is to not tell him about the Meet & Greet if I am able to work it out and just show up as a surprise.
If anyone could tell me about getting these I would appreciate it very much!

Just bought the bonus tracks off Napster. At first I was scared to death because it said I had to pay a monthly $5 fee. but I only wanted 2 songs, but I bought them individually with no monthly cost...hopefully...
Lovin both the tracks. can't see why Joe left them out. They're great!

mammena, I'm sorry to say it looks as though that particular show isn't doing any meet and greet packages. No one seems to know why, but folks are disappointed. Sorry :( At this point, you can try a coupla things...make sure you register yourself as attending your particular show on the road page: click on the link that says "edit show attendance here" (it's at the bottom of the road page I think). You could also have your son register a nickname here on satriani.com and then he can also register as attending to give you two chances to win. About 3-4 days before your show happens, they randomly draw one name to win two aftershow passes to meet Joe. The passes are free, Joe's just got it like that, lol!
Also, you can try waiting outside by the tour bus after the show to see if you can catch Joe. Usually, unless they're in a screaming hurry to get to the next venue, Joe always takes time to meet the fans there. But you need to be prepared to wait up to a coupla hours out there, hopefully less but bundle up. And that's assuming the tour bus isn't parked behind a locked gate...
We've run into Joe a few times before the show just hanging outside the venue several hours before doors open. And often the other guys in the band wander in and out of the venue after sound check is over, in search of coffee, personal phone time, etc :)
I don't know if Joe has any in-store signings he's thinking about scheduling on the tour, sometimes he does that but not at all tour stops...but keep your eyes peeled here for any possible info.
Good luck, no matter what, you and your son are going to see a FANTASTIC show!! Neither of you will ever forget it. My son and I go to as many shows as we can, and always, ALWAYS love them! There's nothing better in life than to spend an evening with Joe :)
