So i was listening to the new album and reading the guitar world write up with Joe on each song! This album is so good the write up was good!

Now for me to say that this is the best album would be a lie, only because in my opinion all Joes albums are the best i live each and every one of them , Joe is a brillient man and I am glad to serve this life time with him.

Big Bunny, that's awesome, I hadn't noticed that at all! Thanks for sharing that tidbit :)

Love the new album, listen to it in the car, at work and at home. Today my wee mum and I are driving over the mountain so she will get her first listen. Should be hilarious, lol!

I hope everyone is doing really well and by the way.....

It has been a long, long time. I see some are still here after all these years.

Still jammin away in my new guitar shop I had built.

Hi Joe,

I hope I will see you on Sofia Bulgaria on 11.10.2015, Excellent work with your new album Shockwave Supernova. My love songs are: "Shockwave Supernova" , "All of My Life" and "On Peregrine Wings". I want to buy one of your guitars here in Sofia, is this possible?

Hi everybody !

I've bought a ticket for the 17th of September in Nantes (france).

If anybody goes there too, it would be rather cool to meet up !

Tracie (cheese101) - I thought it was a nice little find >=;)

Hi Joe,

Looking forward to finally see and listen to you and your band live!! Got tickets for Heerlen (NL). I would be honoured if you want to sign my Pre JS series Ibanez 540 Radius, is that possible? (of course everybody wants this, but I just thought, why not ask :-)) Anyway, love your music, and while playing guitar at a (very) amateur level, you have been great inspiration for me, thank you! Can't wait to see you live!

I love the new album! Can't stop listening to it.

Peregrine Wings grabbed me immediately, of course. But the rest of the album took a couple passes before it really grabbed me. (For context, Unstoppable, Black Swans and Colossal hooked me right away.) And then it hit me one day as I realized that I had various melodies from the album on constant repeat in my head for the past couple days. (The best earworm!)

Cataclysmic is my favorite so far, that song sends me into an alternate state.

Really looking forward to hearing these songs live.

This comment is perhaps 3 years late (or a decade early!) but I'll mention it anyway, on the outside chance that requests here make it to Joe's to-do list. :-)

I would love to see a remastered reissue of Unstoppable Momentum. I'm not a dynamic range obsessor, but I know what clipping and over-compression sound like.

Everyone has their own opinion about where music goes from sounding satisfyingly loud and thick (you want tot turn it up) to sounding like mashed potatoes (congested and tiring- you want to turn it down).

When I listen to Unstoppable Momentun, I want to turn it down. Unless Im in my noisy car, I want to turn it turn. The music and playing are brilliant but the recording doesn't do it justice, especially Vinnie's drumming. There a lot of songs on the album that are supposed to sound thick and loud, I get that. But too often the sound is congested. The crescendo at the end of the title song is the worst example I think. The music needs to expand but it just hits the wall.

IMO previous albums (Black Swans and before) all sound good. But UM really needs to be fixed.

I was listening to 'Goodbye Supernova' earlier today (for about the two dozenth time), and found myself getting quite emotional; the song is so poignant and bittersweet, as I perceive it, that I felt as though I was saying a final farewell to something myself (I know not what), and it really moved me. It's just sublime, and I love it.

And let me take the opportunity to say that I, for one, would love for you to release an album filled with the introspective, ballady kinds of songs that you do so well, a la 'Goodbye Supernova', 'A Love Eternal', 'The Meaning of Love', and indeed 'Lost In A Memory'.

Thanks Joe. See you on the road!

Hi Joe!

Been thrilled with your sounds for years since my teens when I first discovered 'Surfing With The Alien'.

In the gym, thrashing my race bike or just chilling at home, your sounds have been part of my life over the years.

As a symbol of my appreciation, would you permit me to put your logo on my race bikes?

There is no commercial aspect to this, I am a privateer with no sponsors.

Thanks for reading, keep banging them out!!!!
