Hi everybody!

First post, first G3 experience, first time meeting Joe, what can I say, I'm still in heaven!
I'm a long time Steve Vai and Joe Satriani admirer and the G3 show in Madrid was amazing. I had the luck of winning "Meet and Greet" aftershow passes from Steve and had the opportunity to meet Joe too. Steve was very attentive to everyone and Joe was really nice!

Thanks for all Joe.

EDIT:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!

Thanks for being a music angel. There are no words to describe what we feel when you play...

Hi!

JMDS: Here are the lyrics of "LIfestyle" (thank you novjul)

You wake up in the mornin and you're smokin like a house on fire

Cause you been out all night and you're burnt down to the wire

I really love ya baby but you're puttin me through the fire

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

You're talkin too much boy you're drivin it way too fast

And you never make sense cause you're too busy havin a blast

I know we got no future cause you just can't remember the past

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

Packed my bags got one foot out the door

Cause I can't take one more night on the killin floor

I must be losin my mind cause I think I'm comin back for more

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

stop killin me

stop killin me

...

Really interesting Joe's comments in the listening party. To hear the songs knowing Joe's inspiration sources makes them still more enjoyable.

novjul: thanks again for the lyrics

Hello Satchland!

Do the Stu: Very useful your info about Flac :-)

patberk The first time I saw T2J I thought: What a mix-up!!!!!. Now I love it. This kind of forum-chat-message board includes everything but showed in a warm special way. You can say, comment and ask what you want about Joe or whatever you like, there's always a cool t2jer that answers your question. And you can talk to Joe, although the possibility is 1/1000 But the possibility really exists!

But if you're still looking for a typical message board check out Satchland http://www.satriani.com/perl/2004/fansite

achoo ¡Hola Tobias! Your spanish is good!.Aquí en Madrid, hoy hace un día lluvioso y gris pero no me importa porque "Me gusta la lluvia" :-). Desde La Riviera, el sitio donde Joe suele tocar aquí, se puede ver una preciosa vista del Palacio Real de Madrid, un lugar de importancia histórica.

Some more practice for you, Happy Sunday!

Btw, in Chicago three shows in a row, woooow!

(Trans. Today it's a rainy and grey day here in Madrid but I don't mind because "I Like the Rain". From La Riviera, where Joe usually plays here, you can see a beautiful sight of The Royal Palace of Madrid, an important historical place.)

patberk:Hey Patricio, coleguita, ¡encantada de ayudar!. Este foro ha funcionado siempre así y lo que se cuece aquí es muy espontaneo, pero si no te gusta el rollito que hay, que le vamos a hacer... He oido que Joe en esta gira toca muchas canciones no habituales, ¡que flipe!, voy a tener que cruzar el charco! je je

Hi Satchland!
Good vibrations around here as usual ;-)
achoo: Oye Tobias,¡todo bien aquí! Ayer fue festivo en España asi que estuve disfrutando de algunas exposiciones de arte y del delicioso cocido madrileño mmmm.
(Hey Tobias, all nice here! yesterday was festive in Spain so I was enjoying some art exhibitions and the delicious Madrid stew mmmm)

Any queries about spanish? Here I am, get a B!

LilyZhang: welcome! where are you from?

Joe looked HOT in his jeans, black tee, red glasses with guitar to match, and NO hat!!
Michelle, I agree, HE is the sweetest and the sexiest!!!!!!!!
Sorry Joe, just a female point of view ;-)

Zinc Master - ha ha great jokes, specially "sex in the dark" lol

IbanezGuitarist - I will send you positive and healing energy as well!

Hey Michelle, thanks for the show stories, we can apply to Joe that Kafka's saying "Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old", both guitar playing and look! and spirit!

About this tour: incredibly delicious setlist! LORDS OF KARMA!, IF I COULD FLY!, THE TRAVELER!... oh lots of european fans are so jealous (good jealousy :-)), me the first he he I wish "I could fly"...

bahduh, hi, how are things? well, I'm not really related to Seve Ballesteros, the golf champion, it's a common surname in Spain especially in Madrid, there are loads of Ballesteros here he he
And I don't like golf very much, I think it's boring and too expensive for me. And that little white ball makes me soooo nervous LOL. I prefer riding my bike...
Talking about the album In from the Storm, I remember an interview with the producer Eddie Kramer on TV, back in 1995, and he said that one of Jimi Hendrix's wishes was to record his music by a symphonic orchestra. This album satisfies to some extent that wish. Vinnie Moore is not in it.Link for more info
IMHO It would have been simply perfect if Joe had been in this album but well...his friend and most outstanding former guitar student is there :-). An interesting album.

Russell Carpenter, about the song "The Journey", I perceive more a spiritual journey than a phisical journey but I don't know...it's simply art

Hi everyone!
A little Satch story today, it's a sunny day in Madrid and I went some shopping. Well, in a shoe store located in the plain center of Madrid, they were putting The Electric Joe Satriani - An Anthology!!!!! I couldn't help the emotion :-)

Noppa, 'Child in Time' by Deep Purple, Ian Gillan's spiral of screams... I specially love the version with Joe following the screams on the guitar, amazing.

bahduh, hi, that incident at the friendly Spain-England football or soccer match last wednesday, well, the fact is that because of four dumbs that are always putting their foot in it, they all get covered in.
The great majority of Spanish football fans are not racist at all, the same as English football fans are all not hooligans. I think English press in particular has exaggerated the matter describing Spanish football fans as 'racists'. Perhaps they are using this to discredit the country because we are direct rivals for the Olympics 2012 celebration, I don't know.
Anyway, that stupid part of the crowd that were making the monkey noises uh uh every time a black player touched the ball don't know that there are things we can't play with.
Ah, talking about football, precisely today takes place the biggest derby match in the national football league here in Spain: Real Madrid vs FC Barcelona!!!! What's the most popular sport in India? best wishes

Hi everyone!

Noppa: "Ian Gillan on 'Child In Time' in a version where Joe imitates the screams with his guitar"; Wow!... 1. Is that  
recorded? 2. (if yes) Is it available somewhere??... Ian's voice on that one has always been extremely passionate... and I know -as you all- that Joe's guitar can be the most passionate!... what a choice.

Oh yes, it's recorded. I have it on a bootleg from the '93 show in Osaka. It's an unofficial release called 'The Battle', photo here. Hard to find, you can download the song here. I have uploaded it for everyone interested :-)

bahduh: what du yu have to say about barcas' performance

Ohhhhh! Barsa swept Real Madrid aside!!!!!!!! Barsa played harder and more efficient than Real Madrid and played with a more team mentality. Their defense was better too. I'm really disappointed with the 'Galacticos'. Real Madrid ultimately is more focused on developing as a marketing vehicle than as a soccer team, and that's a pity. I'm not a soccer real fan but I prefer Real Madrid than Barsa because is the team of my city, I live near the Bernabeu ;-), all the best

marimariSRV: Joe...You bring to our lives great joy! I (We) shall always be incredibly thankful to you.....not just one day a year.....every day I give thanks for your incredible gift! You inspire so many people in so many ways you've never imagined...

Beautiful message, I agree with you.

Michelle, Congrats for your 2000!

Joe, Madrid loves you!!!!!!!!

EDIT: The link

Nass, oh yes, I agree, Yngwie is amazing. But IMHO, his latest albums are not as good as his previous, he repeats himself a lot. I think Yngwie needs to develop his talent further away. At this point Joe & Steve wins. But anyway I was watching the other day his DVD Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra and it's thrilling.

mohawk, I think he's one of the few hard neo-classical guitarists who has real feeling. He's capable to play superfastly but still with feeling.

aussieRGman, hi, go to the Road section, you can check out the dates planned for Australia, enjoy!!!!

bahduh, hi!

Hi all!

Only three days left till the G3 comes back touring!!!

For everyone interested, Neal Schon's new album is due out February 22, 2005 on Steve Vai's Favored Nations label.

klytus, Joe usually wears Oakley Eye Jacket sunglasses

bahduh, hi, how are you? About the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen, the last minutes were heart-stopping! And now Real need absolutely to win in Rome, at least Barca eased into second phase, I'll knock on wood lol. Have a nice weekend

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know where I can find Joe promo pictures of his latest album Is There Love in Space? There are many concerts pics but I miss some promos, any help?
