Kayla- I would love to do a third show!! Especially one with a backstage pass, but I spent that money on a plane ticket and hotel. I'll just keep holding out for that aftershow pass for my chance to meet Joe I suppose. I just really hope the weather holds out on Sunday so that my flight can land before the show. (Noon-ish). I'm not too concerned about getting back, just as long as I'm in Reno on the 14th!

It looks like Solitude has made it into the set the last couple shows at the expense of another full song. It's a beautiful piece but it's soooo short! I saw a couple shows without Pyrric Victoria and Revelation on the list. I guess in the end it doesn't matter what songs he plays, I'm gonna have a good time and in 2 days I won't remember a single song unless I write them down as he plays them, though I'll never forget Time Machine from JS 08 in Reno and I have a feeling Why will be the same this time around...

*SIGH* I'd just love to see Joe perform again. Don't care what he plays.

Michelle - backatcha

Also love this - Hurt

Our man in Vancouver

Its our turn for a tour Joe!!

Skippy, I absolutely LOVE The Oracle cd by Godsmack!! No matter how I'm feeling, when I hear a song from that cd it never fails to take my mood up a few notches. Godsmack is also great when I'm angry, because music is the best way to vent imo. Nooobody gets hurt. LOL! This one is fun too, but it's only on iTunes & on The Oracle DVD - Whiskey Hangover.

scubs,,,it's WHISKEY! :-)

I saw your concert on Jan. 6 in Kelowna Joe. You played briliantly as usual. But I have a couple nit picks if you'd care to hear them. Your back up band SUCKED big time!!!! It kinda diminished your greatness a bit to have such a lousy artist as a start to a great show. I even noticed when he played his first song his guitar was out of tune and was swapped for an in tune guitar for his next song....I hope you pick a better back up band for your next tour Joe. Maybe someone with a bit of class.

My next beef is the loudness level...It was way to freaking loud. It actually hurt my ears. I don't know how you can play night after night without getting hearing damage . I figure you might have mellowed a bit after all these years Joe and turned it down just a bit. This is the third time I've seen you in concert and I'm one of your biggest fans, but I must say this will be the last concert I go to. I really like your latest album and must have played it a million times already. I kinda noticed that it's a bit mellower than other albums and thought your concert would reflect that. But I was kinda dissapointed by the way you thrashed it on stage.

You're pushing 60 now Joe. Time to mellow out a bit. I think your fan base is getting older too and would like to see you mellow with dignity as you enter your golden years.

Hello Joe, My name is Daniel, Im from Mexico i will be in your show on jan 22 at metropolitan, I have meet and greet tickets but ticketmaster didnt send me any info about the hour the place... I cant wait to meet you an see you live on stage from center row 3 please dedicate always with me to my girl julieta she gonna be there too!! Keep on rocking!.

Please ...JOE never mellow out.. ...rock till ya drop...

Whats not dignified about playing with passion?

I kinda wish Dave Martone was opening in Portland... but I've never heard Ned before so it's all good.

but then again everyone is entitled to their own opinion...just stating mine..

Pushin' 60, so best just get out yer kazoo and sit on yer rocker for the next tour. That way...it won't be to loud and scary, and ya won't be moving to fast to upset anyone, k Joe?

It really makes me LAUGH how some people explain their version of these shows. 'Oh Joe, your my favorite guitarist ever, but everything about your show sucked, but I am your biggest fan!! Can I have my money back now? Love, your biggest fan since 1986! ps - I have all your records too, but please change everything about yourself and your show and come back to Bumfuck again soon. I miss you already!!'

Maybe if you go to a show without already having the script written and have an OPEN mind and some effin common sense earplugs, ya might have an almost decent time...but I doubt it.

JOE SATRIANI is better than he's ever been, and he and his band, no matter who's in the line up, kick ass harder with every tour! He's in better shape than most guys his age, and he's a gad damn musical genius!

Maybe the sound in the venue sucked? Maybe where you were sitting sucked? Maybe your mood that night sucked? Maybe the audience sucked? But definitely your expectations and resulting disappointment sucked!

Have I said to much? Gone to far> Yer damn straight I did. Who in their right mind would wanna change THIS!!

Rule #1 going to a Satriani show - EXPECT TO GET YER FACE ROCKED OFF!

You'll never be disappointed :-)

Sorry folks, I don't take it well when ppl piss on Joe.

LOL Michelle!!! WE ALL AGREE WITH YOU!

funny story (well I think its funny), so there was this guy that REALLY REALLY liked me and was always saying how he wanted to marry me and blah blah blah, well, I asked him, Do you know who Joe Satriani is, he said yeah of course, I said oh my gosh really thats AWESOME! *me thinking theres a connection*, my next question, Do you listen to him? Whats your favorite song? Have you ever seen him life, his response, I dont like him, he doesnt have skill, yngwie malmsteen is better. My response... AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAH ok see ya!

Well said, Michelle......

Gotta Have Joe- Thats funny.....

.I dont like him, he doesnt have skill, yngwie malmsteen is better

click-click BOOM!

:-)

Well, well, well, Sarah Palin's "target" talk is getting results. She should be so pleased. I hope she and the Teapublicans sleep well tonight. I mean, killing things is no big deal to her anyways - and so much fun. Should make for good publicity for her - and we all know how she loves publicity...being so mavericky and all.

Joe, I was at the Kelowna show the other night and I got to meet you afterwards, you signed my magazine and taught me how to do the bar squeal. I was wondering what I should do to play fast, how to practice what to practice and how to achieve this goal.

Thanks so much for the wicked show!

Yes Chad, it's the same as always and what is listed here for me...try again...maybe my mail program thinks yer SPAM :)

PS, I love it when the chelle-inator comes out, lol! And I agree with you, besides!!!
