Cheese - Excellent pic of Joe LOL!!!

Two Shay,sorry about all that with your mates suicide and daughter on life support, thats no good..

all the best

Turbo

JasonAussie, once you get a bald spot the size of yer last cd, you don't reconsider growing yer hair back. lol!

CHEERS to all the bald guys out there!

Head shavers unite!

I was just messing with my hubs today telling him that he could grow out a side patch and tuck it behind his ear until it was long enough for a frontal noggin comb~over. My daughter almost pissed herself laughing!

Anybody listen to the new ANTHRAX cd yet? It's soooo good!

WOOT! Sounds great cranked to 11!

Sad but true - our system is ass backwards!

Here's the way it should be:

Let's put the seniors in jail and the criminals in nursing homes.

This would correct two things in one motion:

Seniors would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.

They would receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs, etc.

They would receive money instead of having to pay it out.

They would have constant video monitoring, so they would be helped instantly... if they fell or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.

A guard would check on them every 20 minutes.

All meals and snacks would be brought to them.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.

They would have access to a library, weight/fitness room, spiritual counseling, a pool and education...and free admission to in-house concerts by nationally recognized entertainment artists.

Simple clothing - i.e. shoes, slippers, pj's - and legal aid would be free, upon request.

There would be private, secure rooms provided for all with an outdoor exercise yard complete with gardens.

Each senior would have a P.C., T.V., phone and radio in their room at no cost.

They would receive daily phone calls.

There would be a board of directors to hear any complaints and the ACLU would fight for their rights and protection.

The guards would have a code of conduct to be strictly adhered to, with attorneys available, at no charge to protect the seniors and their families from abuse or neglect.

As for the criminals:

They would receive cold food.

They would be left alone and unsupervised.

They would receive showers once a week.

They would live in tiny rooms, for which they would have to pay $7,000 per month.

They would have no hope of ever getting out.

"Sounds like justice to me!"

I'm positive I've seen this poster before

And am pretty sure I've seen this or something like it...

But this one isn't familiar...

and neither is this one

That seller has some interesting older stuff up for sale. I'm not buying, just like seeing the stuff I haven't seen before :)

Meanwhile...Skippy, that's cool that your husband rides. It's done a lot of good for Chris, has improved his mood and outlook on life quite a bit. Not to mention his sculpted legs, lol! This spring he hopes to do a lot of rides with our local group. He's done pretty well training on his own but you can't beat learning how to ride in a crowd...gaggle...pod? of bike riders :D What's been the longest ride your husband has done?

Cappy,, so sorry to hear of your friends' daughters' condition. I'm familiar with guillain-barre syndrome and it's not good. So sorry one so young has to deal with such an awful blow, especially after losing her dad :((( Hugs.

AussieRGman, I'm with Michelle on that one...I think that train left the station a long time ago, lol!! Joe has a very sweet expression to his face and it's easier to see without hair...once you peek under the low-hanging hat, lol!!

Chelle, u crack ME up and I'm a few thousand miles away, lol!! Unfortunately though, what you posted about prisoners and nursing homes is sadly true. I wish there was a way to fix what's broken in the world. I just keep chiseling away, a bit at a time, at my little corner.

Dear Joe Why on earth did you decide after all these years to get someone on keyboards? I beleive its ruining your true talent and sound PLEASE get rid of it

I would love to hear you do a heavy metal album with all songs being hard rock or even thrash metal

TheHawkGuy- Are you talking about having a custom JS made from the Ibanez custom shop where Joe has his guitars made? Last time I checked, their services are only available to their promoting artists. I'm sure someone else here would know the current situation- CUBE? Besides, if Joe wanted candy corn orange JS2400's floating around in public, there would be more than one in existence, I'm sure. Same applies for the Experience Hendrix guitar...
If you are talking about having a copy made locally, if you could find someone to do it because of the copyright infringement, it would be one of those "don't ask, don't tell" kind of items, ya know what I mean?

I know you can go to the Ibanez forum at Jemsite.com and the Ibanez reps check-in there often. People there have submitted ideas for guitars that have eventually made it into production, so that's worth a shot I guess... If they opened up their custom shop to the public, they would probably make enough $$ to justify it, but then Joe wouldn't have creative control over the JS line as I figure he wants to maintain. Speaking of which, it's about time for a new JS series guitar....

Hey Joe

Wolffe here from New Zealand! I've been a fan for over 20 years, and I'm coming to the Wellington gig on Saturday. I'm flying up from Christchurch. All the VIP tickets were sold out but I wondered if I could get a photo taken with you cos you guys are the best. It would make a nice change from all the rocking and rolling in Christchurch ha ha ha. I've seen you in Glasgow a few years ago now. It was a brilliant gig. Can't wait to see you guys!

Cheeso - Mr Skip and his buddies do the Round The Bay ride every year, that's 250km. Most weekends they would do 50km on Saturday morning and 100+km on Sunday mornings. Best of luck to Chris.

Joe - can you play Leaving On a Jet Plane?

You can tell I had some time to kill today - crank up the LOAJP and sing along everyone:

All my bags are packed
Black T shirts ready to go
I'm standin' here outside my door
I love it when I’m just about to fly
But the dawn is breakin'
It's early morn
The taxi's waitin'
He's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so excited
I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll be at G3
Rock out like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
With Steve and Steve I'll see Skippy again
Oh babe, I love a show!

There's so many times I've played the clown
So many times I've played around town
I tell you now, those shows mean everything
Ev'ry place I go, I'll think of you
Ev'ry song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring Jeff and Galen too

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll be at G3
Wave to me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Rockin out with Skippy again
Oh babe, I love an Aussie show

Now the time has come to play for you
One more time
Let me rock you
Then close your eyes
I'll be on my way
Dream about the gigs to come
When I won't have to leave so soon
And I can stay and play until I’m old and grey

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll be at G3
Shout to me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Killing it with the Aussies again
Oh babe, I love a show

Yeah, I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Gonna rock in Australia again
Oh babe, I love a show!

Hehe, chances of including that one in the setlist?

Please resume normal transmission

Yep o cheesy one, it's a bastid fer sure.

marktaylor, sorry you're having such a hard time. Take care of your kids. They are the future. I hope you figure things out. I have no advice. My cup is full over here trying to sort my own. Good luck & don't give up.

roger777, if you go to page 10 of his messages, you'll see that Joe's last post was last month.

The Ageing Of A Rock Star

Some of the older faces look better than the younger ones! Cool to see. Joe's pic isn't there, but I think he looks better now than when he was younger.

My faves are Robert Plant & Steven Tyler. They gave us sooo much...

Hi, I am coming from Spain to the Marshall's 50th Anniversary gig at Wembley Arena in September. I'm a huge fan of Joe Satriani (he's had a huge influence on me) and I'm basically going to London just to see him.

Would it be possible to meet Satch backstage at some point just for five minutes? Maybe I could teach him something!!!!!! Looking forward to your reply

Hehe, but it's catchy right?

Thanks for the 2012 tour Joe!!

After I emailed D&E on Saturday about film posters, I received the following reply today:
Hi Ian,

Best, Jonathan Chaupin Director of Film Marketing & Distribution www.DandEentertainment.com

You can now purchase the OFFICIAL Joe Satriani Satchurated film poster from the D&E store for US $19.99. It doesn't say whether or not they ship overseas... I had trouble adding one to my cart from both Firefox and Chrome, so I ended up buying it from my phone...
