Dear Joe

I would like to first of all make it clear that I think you are an unbelievably talented guitarist with a superb unique style that is a pleasure to hear, further more you exploits with G3 are remarkable and I genuinely rate you in my top 5 guitarists/musicians. However be under no illusions that your talent makes everything you touch turn to gold, it does not. After a particulary bad day last week, I thought 'what would cheer me up?' to which I answered myself 'hmm, how 'bout treating yourself to a Satrianic CD', which at the time seemed like a very agreeable sugestion. So I headed down to my local HMV and flicked through your selection and spotted Engines of Creation. Enough back story, let me tell you that listening to this record nearly made me kill myself, until I realised that i was not to blame for its existence, you were. Joe, my friend, what on earth were you thinking?, were you thinking? I think not. I spent 11 tracks waiting for a song to start, I spent 11 track double checking that I had the right CD in the case, 11 tracks worth of time I will never get back. Joe, I am not sure if anyone of your 'yes' men have told you but you ARE NOT A DJ! You are a f*****g guitar god. Do not get me wrong, I am all for musicians pushing the boadaries of their medium and trying new things, but whenyou reflect and realise that your new venture is a sack of s**t you do not go and release it to an innocent, unwitting fan base, anyway just to make a buck. Therefore I demand my £7.99 to be returned, you have my address and all will be forgiven. Sure enough you can even have your CD back, just let me know where to send it. Please take this as the constructive criticism as it is intended and don't let your standards slip.
