Zinc Master- I have been wondering the same as you, and so far have found no "official" pre-orders that would offer autographs or anything special as far as that goes. I went ahead and pre-ordered mine from Amazon.com. They may very well wait until about 2 weeks out or a little less before the release date before they set up anything like that, though. I keep checking the home page every time I get on here.

Two Shay- Sorry to hear about your friend. At least it sounds as though you two ended things on positive terms, and you got to say goodbye to him. You can't ask for a whole lot more than that I suppose.

Michelle- Sorry to hear about your mother as well. I guess there isn't much anybody can do when our time comes except accept it. Sounds like she left behind a lot of people that cared deeply for her, and the grieving process has just begun.

Michelle - I'm so sorry to hear that chelle

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours

Hi guys, Happy easter..

michelle, sorry to hear about your mother, I lost mine almost 6 years ago, so take your time , seek all the hugs and help you need..

Two Shay and also sorry to hear about your friend

Harkflynns1, thats the question ive been trying to find out, how often does joe and steve break strings , and what do they do ,

Thanks for the love.

Love ya to pieces chelle, always.

Jason, Chris and I were at a show in 2004...the tour Joe did with Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy in Reno, Nevada. Joe broke a string on one of the songs....and he kept on going to finish it. I think they likely finished the song earlier than planned, but truth be told, Joe played so well even though it went out of tune that we didn't even notice until he said something about it after the song was over. He apologized!! And we were like..."really?" No clue that happened!

YES...Joe is just THAT good! :)

Thanks - I was hoping I wasn't missing something. I have almost all of the recent releases autographed. I would like to continue the tradition.

If not, I have a gift card from Amazon and would probably get the CD / DVD free - kinda hard to pass that up.

Joe .. Hoping you are doing well on your tour

I just was thinking about you yesterday, I was thinking if you retire from your musicianship in the future? I think you might just start run your own guitar and gears using your own company , just like les paul that guitar builder, but this is just a thought

Dear Joe Satriani Staff,

Joe, you were one of the ones who made us do this guitar pedal. Just feel like all what's coming was dedicated to your very late interview when you said that once such a pedal is produced you just get one straight ahead;)

We would like to present to you the Farmer’s Mill - a guitar pedal which is first in the world to allow musicians to break the guitar sound. The idea of crushing the sound is simple yet very powerful and our team of professionals made it come true.

Farmer's Mill makes guitar sound like a burning and broken guitar cable. The only exception is that now you’re able to control this phenomenon. We call it "The Mill". Our pedal cannot be compared to any other sound processing unit and we hope it will open a new chapter in the guitar effects history.

Please review the attached brief material and visit us on the web in order to find more of the audio and video samples as well as the full press package. The Farmer’s Mill premiere took place on April Fool’s Day yet we are really serious about “The Mill” idea as it is absolutely original and new to the world of guitar pedals.

Also please visit the UK's MusicRadar website, where the first impressions on Farmer's Mill are described by Chris Vinnicombe (Guitarist, Total Guitar): http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/video-introducing-the-farmers-mill-by-crushsound-the-sound-engineers-nightmare-538041

Thank you for your time. Crushsound Team

Thanks Joe. You're the best. Love ya!

Hey, that Farmer's Mill pedal sounds pretty sweet! I could see where it could get annoying if a guitarist were to over use it, but, if used in the right quantities, that would really be a great addition to a pedalboard IMO.

Joe Satriani- You should really consider taking a look at that and listen to some of their demos; I could see you writing an awesome new track with that thing, or even adding some "mud" to a couple of your existing songs with it! At the next G3 you could cover ZZ Top's "Loaded"!

Michelle: My thoughts & prayers are with you and family. So sorry for your loss.

Ibanezplyr: Randell,I hope life is treating you well. My love & best to you & Steven Wilde. Please let me know how y'all are doing...

JOe & T2Jer's : I Have missed the music & the friends more than words can say...

Life is very precious

Make every moment count.

This is all that matters...

Nice interview by Dave Weiner with Steve Lukather on the G3 Downunder tour

Thank you everyone. So much love backatcha!

Service is tomorrow morning at 11:00. Nerves are keeping me awake. Gonna be the hardest day ever. Have to grasp it in pieces because it's just to much. There will be a church full of love tomorrow, and I hope I can keep myself centered in those thoughts instead of the intense emotion that occasionally sneaks up on me and makes my heart sink into my stomach when the immensity of the situation hits me out of the blue. I'm fine, wanna cry, I'm fine - within 2 minutes. WTF was that? Creeper emotions! I appreciate the loving vibes and prayers coming from all of you more than you know. Life is in a whole new phase now. A Strange New World. Not really sure I'm ready to let that sink in. I'm happy for my mom. No more suffering and sadness. She's in God's Glory now. It's just really gonna suck not having that funny ol' bird around to talk to.

Comfortably numb.

So - thanks again.

Much love -

M
