Little Kids Rock is auctioning off some guitars as a means of raising some money. In case you didn't see it already, Joe decorated a Strat with his famous artwork.

I was enjoying the doodles so much that I didn't even realize it wasn't a JS guitar until I read the description. Minimum bid= US$1,000...

Allison, I hear ya. My son also has a form of autism, Asperger's Autism. Joe has been wonderously kind to Chris, always. And he has inspired him as no other. If your son looks up to Joe, you could have no better role model in the world for him :) Earplugs are really a must for any concert these days, no matter who it is. Good luck on the aftershow drawing, I'll cross my fingers for you both! Please tell your son for me I think he has excellent taste in music.

Chad, only fer u mah lil Canadian honeybunch, LOL!! Don't ferget I still own a ladder and can climb up it to kick yer butt when needed!

Oxley and turbo-Ian, I love Wind In The Trees, it's magical to me. I have no idea about auto-tune, but now that Joe has put it in a song I'm sure I'm gonna hear allllllllll about it soon, lol!! And Ian, I agree on the Grammy....I started feeling that very strongly after hearing the first two songs before the album came out. This album takes you on quite a ride of emotions and feelings...if the voters who decide who wins have ANY sense at all, it's Joe's turn!

David Stice, welcome to the board :) Stick around and enjoy all the good Joe-vibes :)

Love the Little Kids Rock guitar Joe but I just gotta ask....do you have bad dreams at night??? LOL!!! Yer such a happy person in real life and these drawings all look a titch....grumpy and sleep deprived...mebbe it's the red eyes, lol! :D It's great you took the time to do this, hope your offering goes for a mint!! I'd love to own it.

cheese.. don't forget to take your super acetaminophen!
(I don't know why I'm so fascinated with that freak, it's like the train wreck I cannot look away from, I always promise myself I won't read his long-ass rants anymore... but I ALWAYS do! Srsly, WTF?!)

smooches,

@axeshredder- Another one??? I don't get how they think they have the right to use the song. It makes it right if you just say you're gonna use it. ??? What kinda sense does that make? Why do artists nowadays feel the need to leech off of much better artists?

My friend told me a hilarious statement the other day that reminds me of this situation. He said "It's not considered rape if you yell 'surprise!' lol

But that's basically what these "artists"(term used loosely) are doing. They're just coming out and saying they are going to use it instead of hiding it like Coldplay. And to them, they think it's ok. And if they tell you it's a cover, that's a bunch of BS, because a cover is your own interpretation/performance of the song. They're just "singing"(term used loosely) on top of the original song.

I can't tell you how many rappers bass lines I've heard that have been stolen. A prime example is Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. It's so blatant that they stole the famous bass line from Queen and David Bowie's Under Pressure.

Thanx for posting Axe...heard that yesterday on another one of her vids...its disgusting what she did with that song....IMHO.

Had a thought ..I was reading a review of BBAWW and the reviewer said that Joe needed to get a songwriter to write his music.....

(which ALSO pissed me off)

but any way evidently not 'cause people are using his music all over the place these days & NOT GIVING CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE........

According to one of my Facebook friends-

Did you know...

... that today is Be Bald and Be Free Day? It's the day for all bald people to go shiny and feel good about it. There are 40 million bald men (and counting) in the United States and 432 million in the world.

:-)

Well Al-Frank-ovitch....they BOTH suck monkey balls fer taking Joe's music and turning it into crap!!

Master Satch when you come to Chile?? we are waiting for you, greetings and hugs,

Posted on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 14:28:59 EST      JOE SATRIANI has just released his 14th studio album, Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards, with the highest opening chart position ever for the multi Grammy-nominated guitarist. The album debuted today on the Billboard chart with Satriani’s highest spot in nearly 18 years - #45.

See the entire article Here

I also like this quote from the article: Satriani’s classic six-string sound has become a staple on the American music scene and is now matched with a tantalizingly rich texture of new material as well. All together, both album and tour, Joe Satriani’s Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards promises nothing less than a magical, musical experience that lifts the spirit and takes flight.

The article also lists the three Texas dates and venues in case anyone is interested :)

Wow, fantastic news Joe, BIG CONGRATS TO YOU!!!

Thanks CIV for your guitar advice......

Wow! I just entered a contest giveaway for the Ibanez Joe Limited Edition JS20 20th Anniversary 'Silver Sufer' Model (I dont think the Silver Surfer is 3D like the one Joe is showcasing in the video from Ibanez.com. But it IS still awesome) Oooooooh what a BEAUTY!!!!!!! I wanty!!!. It was my first time seeing it, and what a gorgeous guitar!!!! How proud and happy I would be to own that!!! And damn, how cool to of been able to attend that personal private show at Namm last year. I was just watching all the vid's over at IBANEZ.COM :)

Cheese101---------Lol at your comment about Joe's art :) You cracked me up....I absolutely ADORE his character drawings!!!! They are sooo cute!!!! I got the white set of picks and I can just stare at them forever, I think they are just so adorable and interesting and they just make me smile :-) Has he released a sketch book of his drawings??? I gotta have.

Heres a very nice review from seattlepi.com
