Dear Joe, my name is Matt Crimmins and I am a disabled Paramedic from the WTC. I have suffered 2 major heart attacks, emphysema. PTSD, depression and live on $200 a month in food stamps. I only have 42% heart muscle left and my days are numbered. I have been a fan if yours since I was 16 and now I probably won't make it till 45 and I'm 42 now. I was in the midst of saving for my dream guitar when I went into work that day. Now my money goes to bills to keep a roof over my head. I am in no way a scammer, just a medic that did his job snd got very I'll. The guitar I was saving for was your JS 1000 and was wondering if u could find it in your heart to make my last days as happy as possible and when I do pass I want to be burried with it since at least when I get to heaven I have something to play. I also lost 13 close friends that day so music is all I have. Please Joe , help me out and make me the happiest man on the planet.
Resoectfully,
Matt Crimmins

Just got a chance to watch Live in Montreal. Nice!! I really liked the whole thing. This is the first time that I have watch or listened to any live stuff from Joe and really felt like I was in a story. It's kind of hard to explain, but the segues into some songs just really gave it a story feel, not a concert feel. It was really cool. I was listening through headphones on the 7.1 and it seemed to run a little hot. Not sure why, but it was overmodulated at bit.
The opening jam on God Is Crying was really one of the coolest things I have seen yet. That whole little jam session was just awesome!
Joe mentioned in the making of wormhole that he had all the jam sessions from the studio on cd and they may be released some day. That would really be awesome!! Releasing them would really be cool I think. Sessions!

michelle - BigB, I wish we were getting a G3 over here instead of CF. In time, probably, but I do love me some G3's. I completely understand your "keep away". I've had to do the same in the past. I'm sure many of us have. At least you had one amazing show to keep you going for a while!
Hey Michelle - i had 2 shows ^_^ Jan 27 & 28. both were amazing shows and the 2nd, i was 4th row, centre, ailse seat!! it was the best concert i've ever been to, Roger Waters pushed BOWIE from my #1 gig spot, it took 8 years!
Roger Waters THE WALL 2012
David BOWIE Reality Tour 2004
Joe Satriani 2008
Michael Jackson 1996
U2 360 2010
those are my top 5 gigs in terms of enjoyment and sheer awe! >=:)

P.S. Joe,
In my 20+ years on an ambulance whether on duty or not
I have never turned my back on someone in need whether it be running into a burning building, the WTC, or a car crash that was in fire. You are my idol Joe and I just hope you can make my last dream come true because if you can find it in your heart to send me the guitar if my dreams ( I'm in permanent disability ) so there is no way to afford it, I told my parents when I pass away to bury it with me. Thanks Joe, you ARE the greatest guitarist on earth . God Bless.

Hi Joe. What about a concert i Scandinavia and Bergen Norway especially. Many fans and guitarplayers here, check out madseriksen.com.
A Joe Satriani concert in the old town Bergen, at the old castle/ fortress i the centre of town, midnightsun and views over the sea and the mountains would be something you and the fans would never forget. Check out the venue her http://www.forsvarsbygg.no/festningene/Festningene/Bergenhus-festning/Se-hva-som-skjer/

Hi Joe, Don't let me spoil anyone's Saturday night.
Back in December of 2009 I shared the mishap my wife had when she fell down some stairs and banged her head hard enough to give her amnesia. She lost 25 or so years of memories, but she didn't lose her taste for your music which we play all the time. IDK if you remember that, probably not. Anyway you replied to us which was sweet and gave us hope. Fast forward to December 2011 we were T-boned on the passenger side ( i was passenger) my wife who already has the concussion from 2009 got a pretty good scare and jolt to her head (she was the driver). needless to say that didn't help some of her cognitive functions. Move forward again to April of this year thanks to another T2J'er Peace LIlly she gave us some tickets to the Portland Chickenfoot coming up on June 3.
Last Sunday 5/6 she was bucked of her horse and as she was dismounting she broke her right Tibia Plateau more like shattered. This past week has been a difficult one for her, me and our kids. She is still in the hospital tonight and will probably be there for a couple more days.
We know that bad things happen to good people sometimes, so we will move forward again. Joe she wanted me to post this and let you know that she still wants to go to the Foot show on 6/3, and to look for us probably in the handicap section.
So until then we baby step forward.
Shannon and Freddy (BlueBuffalo)

Freddy and wife
Yes, I do remember very well about those bad accident that happened to your wife back then and now another accident happen to her again, I do know by faith she will fight hard for her health, her love based on joe music, her family as well (freddy) as well other family members
At the same day on saturday, My mother called to let me know that her liver cancer gotten worst because of her feet condition are getting bad since past couple weeks ago, another thing she is worried about is that she might have a breast cancer , it is still pending , still too early to rule that out.. basicallly, I think she got a very short time on her life, she will not live too long either, I will be going back down there soon, it is 4 hours long drive just to see mom, but it is worth it, just seen my mom last weekend down there too
you hang in there freddy
your bud

Ayye thx fellers :)
I know there ain't too many "soccer" fans 'ere but today was the most epic ending to the most epic season so far... pretty epicballs
Complete mayhem and some more..
2 rival teams tied on points at the top of the league playing at the same time with only goal difference separating them... the favourites were losing with 5 minutes stoppage time to go and come back from a goal down to win 3-2 in the last minute... the other team thought they won but neinnnnnnnnnnnnnn, EPIC SHIT

Hi joe hope all is well, my name is Gary Hart and im a 25 year old guitarist from the uk and a huge fan of your work it was after listening to you that i got the confidence to play instrumentals i had written live. I have recently opened a chain of music schools called Little RockStar Musical Arts School, and im pleased to say all is going well. You are a huge inspiration to all the kids we teach so i am leaving this message to ask you if you could find time in i know what must be a busy schedule to wish the kids at LRMAS good luck in there exams via a youtube video or email. I know its a bit cheeky to ask but it would mean the world to them and me, check out the school at littlerockstar.weebly.com, hope the tour goes well thanks joe. ps the live version of made of tears thats on youtube is one of the best displays of pure emotional playing at its best you are truly wearing you heart on you sleave, thanks for all the great music you have blessed us with over the years never stop.
