Holy crapoly! We just got smashed with a huge flood and now a mega cat 5 cyclone is about to hit just north of us.

Biggest cyclone ever seen here. They are comparing it to Catrina. Mass evacuations occuring.

Hey Joe, how about chickenfoot do a natural disaster inspired song for the new album, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, fires, cyclones... The worlds gone crazy...

Stay safe Aussies! Yasi sounds like a wicked one. Hope to God yer government handles it better than ours handled Catrina. What a feckin nightmare! God bless all those in the path of destruction!

Thanks chelle.

Yasi hits in a few hours and will apparently be around for 20 hours or so before calming down.

Yasi is 500km diameter (310 miles)

THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR AUSTRALIA

HEY JOE

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!!!!

Hurry up and come tour Australia.We're all havin' some serious withdrawal issues down here!!!! DON'T make me fire up my chainsaws on your ass Joe!!!! *fatape slinks off giggling to himself*

Ok, I won't labour the point, but this web site gives a bit of an idea of the size of Yasi.

linky

It would just about cover the US mainland.

We are about 1,500 km south of that (900 miles?)

Poor Queenslanders! Copping it again after the horrible floods. Right now thousands of people are huddled in houses and evacuation centres hoping for the best. Full non-stop TV coverage. The Queensland Premier was just on telly saying if the main power transmission line gets hit the whole north of the state wont have power at all for days. Time to send all positive vibes to our Aussies up north. The next 12 hours are going to be bad.

Its our turn for a tour Joe!!

Is James Hetfield really with Chickenfoot? That would be awesome! I will miss Chad but I was never a big peppers fan, but I love Metallica. Didn't know James played drums...

Puxatawney Phil from Gobbler's Knob says an early spring is coming.

Who makes this stuff up? LOL!!

Happy Groundhog's Day!!

I'm going to grooveshark.com, putting in "Joe Satriani" and hitting PLAY ALL. I don't think there's enough time in the day for them all really. lol!

Thinking about the Aussies in harms way and sending positive vibes and love.

Hetfield is not the new drummer for Chickenfoot. lmao!!! He can probably drum as good as Joe can, which is good enough to lay down what you want, but he's not a "drummer" and wouldn't be hired as such.

The Pied Pipers of heavy metal!

That's the goosebump shit right there!!!

Now I'm stuck on Metallica and still haven't gotten to Joe yet. lol!

Hey Joe and fellow Satch fans,

I'm a guitarist/singer and I've been a Satriani fan since '93. I've definitely been influenced by Joe's music. My favorite albums are the s/t and Crystal Planet.

My current project is called The Fabrockators, and our music is influenced heavily by classic rock. Check us out when you can, we'd love to get some feedback. Thanks

Hear me - And if I close my mind in fear - Please pry it open - See me - And if my face becomes sincere - Beware - Hold me - And when I start to come undone - Stitch me together - Save me - And when you see me strut - Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

Just a heads up for those who may be considering a VOX/SATRIANI pedal:
Purchase a Satriani Satchurator, Time Machine, or Big Bad Dual Wah between 02/01/2011 and 04/30/2011 and receive $30 cash back via mail-in rebate.

That drops the price of the Satchurator down to $99.99 at Musician's Friend.

Scub- I'm guessing since the Ice 9 is so new, they didn't include it in the rebate offer.
Maybe Joe had the same problem- finding a situation to use the Ice 9 and Satchurator with the JVM410H and is why he doesn't really use them anymore. They are both still mounted on the board, but I think he said they are just there in case he changes his mind about what direction he wants to take his sound on a particular night; but both times I saw him last month, he didn't touch either one of them. It was all Marshall.

Oh, don't worry Mc, we know yer so in love with Sammy :)
