That Metal Show

Looking for 1984 "Joe Satriani" Album with Black and white cover with your name only on it, given to me by you or your student. Dear Joe, I worked at Captain Video Albany 1984-1985. My roommate was one of your students named Ned S. (rymes with ELL ) I don't want to use his real name. Ned was 17 and lived with me and one other in a one bedroom apt. Point is he had no money. You were so cool because you took free video rentals as payment for his guitar lessons.

Funny thing was whenever Ned would come back from one of your lessons, he would go on and on about what a amazing talent you were. We would always say "if he is so talented why is he not famous"! Ned quit taking lessons even though he was very talented and decided he just had to be a bass player. I remember I was the one who told you this. Your reaction was deep thought then "that is really interesting".

Now my question back then your true first album as I understood it was just old time record with just your name on it in black and white block letters. It had a very stripped down sound because I think you used your guitar to make most of the sounds. WELL I was given THAT 33 RECORD AND LOVED IT. I even asked you how you came up with the last song called "Saying Goodbye". You told me you kept thinking of seeing your wife pulling away on a train (right before you fell asleep) and then you dreamt the song and wrote it in the morning.

Since then I still can not find the album even on ebay etc. I wonder do you know of any place I can purchase this piece of musical perfection. All the songs are stuck in my head because it was the soundtrack of my twenty's.

If you can help point me in the proper direction, any help would be very much appreciated.

If not I totally understand you must be crazy busy.

Just to be clear it is not listed on your website as one of your albums.

BTW Ned was a friend of mine, and thanks for being such a great teacher towards him. You were always such a stand up guy. If your having trouble remembering Ned St ( he road a 550 GPZ motorcycle bought on credit, was pasty white, maybe 6'3, great laugh, took himself seriously)

Think I have that one, got it on ebay I reckon.

Nice long interview wtih Joe

Probably one of the most interesting interviews of Joe's I've seen (other than the one by the famous Austin Lewis).

Ooooh Joe and SRV together I had seen the I Believe clip but never knew SRV was on the same show. Nice.

Skippygirl- Great links to start the morning off right ..although I will have t watch the interview later..have to go with my sis to a surgery consult in Portland OR today ...so no time to watch it in full.....

That's funny. I'm becoming more and more of a Joe fan. He's doing more interviews, and taking us all along on his life's adventure. He's funny, friendly, down to earth, caring, compassionate, humble, super optimistic, genius, and can fucking rock like no other! Yeah, I guess i should dislike him too. Such awful characteristics in a man. I'm outraged!

Watch out for that speed bump.

aww yeah!

Let's dance!

@skippygirl-After watching that interview about the Nascar game I did some research. One guy on Youtube has a bunch of the soundtracks from the game. It's really good "taking a cruise" music. It's like a mini batch of Satch. In my opinion he should take some of the riffs anyway, because Steve Vai did the same with Crossroads and Bad Horsie.

Here's a list for some of the songs: Let's Roll First half closely resembles If I Could Fly

Enter The Zone This one I like. Would be either an opener for an album or a bonus track.

Speed Natives I would have loved the keyboards in one of his songs

Tailgate TimeFeel-good blues at it's finest. Served Satch Style.

Attitude What ever mode he's using, all I have to say, is that this one is freakin' awesome.

Smokin' Joe Combine his '95 album with the Super Colossal album and this is what you get.

js black dog - it sounds like you've bought the single cd version :/

Oxley11 - ooh thanks for those links I'll listen to them tonight.

Two great things I've come across this morning ~

I was just reminiscing that one year ago I was looking at my home from space. Trying to pick out the familiar mountains and hills, the pattern of the streams and the river valleys. The stunning beauty of our planet…an explosion of color, life, light, and motion hovering in a vast sea of darkness. Now, as I stand here looking at this beautiful Autumn landscape, with the cool breeze on my face carrying the sweet smell of the Earth, I realize this is all undetectable from space…a calm silence…space is awesome, no denying that…but space cannot come close to stirring the human spirit like standing right here…in this moment. from astronaut Douglas H.

Wise words from a wise man

Hi Everyone.

Been really busy the last couple months. Just been busy with work almost every day, as well as my running, family and friends, and even karaoke (another karaoke contest starting next Tuesday, my second one participating). I do try to find time to relax, lol.

Thought I give you the results from my marathon. I ran the Wild Life Marathon last Sunday (morning). It was a hilly course (too many hills to keep track, lol.) Overall, my time was 3 hours, 13 minutes, and 55 seconds. Which is my best time this year. My marathon times aren't where they were the last couple years, that got me to qualify for Boston. I did finish 1st in my Age Group and finished 8th overall out of 88. I am satisfied with it.

I'll doing a couple more races this month, both on Sundays (5-Miler on the 16th, a 10K Race on the 23rd), and will be getting ready for my next marathon on Veterans Day Weekend. Been thinking about going pro, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to take a huge step; just been doing a lot of thinking.

In family news, I lost one of my Great Aunts a little more than a week ago, I believe from a stroke. The viewing and funeral went along well. I've also been helping some friends out with some issues and other business.

Karaoke is going good. I'm partaking in another karaoke contest (my second) next Tuesday. I've been adding new songs to my history. Now I need to figure out what to sing for the prelims and final, if I make it.

Chat with you later peeps; gotta run.

Got my Grooveshark faves on "play all". Jayzus, what a mix! lol! So far it played The Who, Damian Marley, Davey Knowles, Chickenfoot, Travis Barker, Godsmack, and now The Dead.

I just got a chance to read the back of the 4 cards that came with my CF III cd. Funny stuff! I don't know who is funnier. Mikey Mike the rap star asking for a Funky Bunch, Joe saying a spotted owl tastes like chicken, Chad's love for pussycats, or Sammy's favorite color. LOL!

woot!

I believe you posted to her "Randell Lee Mulligan - keep up the good work girl!" for her project on fb for Roots of Development
