@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

Music Review:

Joe Satriani - Black Swans And Wormhole Wizards

By JOSH HATHAWAY

PHYRHIC VICTORIA!!!!! It's got to be one of my other favorites off this album. What a gorgeous and Powerful song! That 'symphonic' sound he gets with his guitar at the end and the way he lets' it scream out like that. Just those few notes, simply stunning. And that groove! Adore those little 'Chirps' he get's at the beginning. And once again, that TONE. Drop dead gorgeous tones!!!

I love all of these new tracks, and LONGING is really beautiful.....Yeah, should of included this one for sure. Thanks Joe for it as a bonus track at least! :)

Peace Lilly------wow, really? Well thanks for that compliment :) And I always admire OTHER'S and wonder why I cant describe my feelings like them..... So thanks for that :)
