"oh my god Joe Satriani!"

hence a massive conversation about guitarists ensued and him being amazed and going "Oh my God" alot that i knew every guitarist he mentioned...

he was at the Hammersmith two years ago same as me too!

Small world eh....but not often someone recognizes joe like that!!!

Do the Stu - Thats plural baby plural LOL "enjoy the gigs!"

Revan 2008 - Yep I would have to agree with you...there is only 1 track of joes I dont like either...."Woodstock Jam!"

Philthemetalhead - hehe if you stay here long enough you will see that question time and time again..."Why are the Booing Stu Hamm".....hehe they are "Stoo-ing" not "Boo-ing"

Campbell - Yes I m jealous!

NJBeast - Jealous of you too! See you in Cardiff

Anibur

Loll

Tuvster

boo hoo....maybe next time!

LOL....haha....yeah....hopefully by the time joe comes again I will have a car of my own and will do every gig next time.....although I think that would only be if Paul was supporting again....and Joe said that they were the best support act they have had...musically and in backstage fun!

so thats hopeful....and they both are inspired by Hendrix...in fact paul plays hendrix better than hendrix did!

Anyway....as for me....I dont think the sound was loud enough!!!!!

GIVE ME MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST WANNA ROCK (JOE) I LIKE ROCK!!!!! (PAUL)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

Philthemetalhead - Cool....well done for gettin through exams...the most awful experience in anyones life...ever!

Apart from me, joe Satriani, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie Malmsteen and Guthrie Govan....anyone else going to the London guitar Show on Saturday?

JOE & PAUL GIGS

I set off early in the Saturday morning to meet Maximagnet at Kings X station. I have driven to Epping at least 20 times in the last year, so you would think I would know how to get there wouldn't you....

wrong!

Missed the turning and ended up gong down a never ending motorway, thinking....'Oh bum!' to myself....I finally found an exit and wondered what on earth to do...but there in front of me was an underground station....'YAY ....that will do!' I thought....A local taxi driver told me where to park...just over the road...free...so that was cool and even cooler the pub opposite the station was called 'The Red House'....Paul does an absolutely stonking, amazing version of that.

we had a day wandering in London, trying to find a python for Paul and suitable Jimi Hendrix cards, then back to the car to go to the Harlow travel-lodge ready to set off for Bournemouth on the Sunday.

A note about travel-lodges....having stayed at 4 in a row...they are all kitted out exactly the same....so it can be quite freaky...you travel for hundreds of miles and it seems like you ended up back where you started when you walk in the room!

Anyway...Motorway...motorway...arrive at Bournemouth...take a wrong turn but soon find the travel-lodge. Decide to walk to the venue to see how long it takes...this was about 1 in the afternoon, I think, anyway we are checking out the tour buses when this guy comes out and Maxi says...'That's Mike manning...joes guitar tech!'

So I wander over and ask him and sure enough it is....he is having a fag break although he said that he had three more boxes then he was giving up....I asked if I could have a photo with him...he grumpily said 'Why?'

so I said 'coz you are with my main man Joe!'.....'oh...OK then!' he said

Anyway....we came back around 4 and hung at the stage door.....i was starting to get bored after a while but Maxi insisted we stay and so i went and sat on a forklift truck out of the sun...then this white transit van pulled up and out got Emi, Jeff, Mike and of course Paul Gilbert....I spoke to the crew as they passed while PG was with some fans further away, then I called him over as he headed to the door, we took pictures with him and i had a lil chat, oh and he signed my copy of Silence followed by a deafening roar!

Back at the venue, we got some merchandise...Jeff Campetelli was wandering around, so had a chat with him. Maxi went back to the travel-lodge with the merch as he didn't have a ticket for the gig and I went in.

i was over the right hand side but only a few rows back with the aisle in front of me so plenty of room. Paul was fantastic, mostly stuff from the new album but lots of older stuff too, playing the guitar with a violin bow was cool and of course Paul and Mike did the drill piece together....wow....it was just real annoying that nobody moved an inch and i was almost locked up for jumping and dancing around so much.

Great way to start with I just Wanna Rock....I was really pleased that there was a good light show this time....two years ago it was literally just a light on Joe and that was it, but this time, lights, videos and everything!....not that you take your eyes off of joes amazing playing very much...but it was cool.....

and yet still the people didn't move an inch.....fantastic setlist...stu hamm did his solo in the middle, which everyone liked...he is a groovy little mover lol...Joe did a good variety of old and new and it went on for ages....this gig was well worth twice the money paid....FANASTIC....as soon as they all went off I shot down to the front for the crowd chant that i knew would be coming...but for some reason I looked back, I dont know but there was Maxi....it turned out that he had come back to sit in the foyet just to listen and managed to buy a ticket from some guy half way through..and sure enough three encores!

Outside I heard this little voice say "is that you sandy", yes I said.....turned out to be a random joe fan that I had met two years previous in London!

next day we went for a walk along the sea front....I do wonder if Stu was filming Joe as we were walking past (google stu hamm, wembley...he did a little video) we got some chips, then back to the car and set off for Cardiff....not such an easy drive this time as it wasn't motorways, but some lovely views....the bridge into wales was very cool too.

Again Maxi didn't have a ticket for this gig, but i received a text to say to go to the box office....and YAY! Dear old Galen had left a ticket there for him....not only that...to his surprise a backstage pass too....I said it was fine and I would wait around, but he checked five minutes later....as you do...in disbelief....and lo....shepherds came from the east...er...no...sorry....there were 2 passes YAY!!!!

Anyway with much phone calling we met up with Carlos and NJBeast and girlfriend and went for a drink down the road, then headed back for the gig!....I have to say its a Cardiff City Hall is a great venue...the seats are massive, really comfy and even the tallest guy in front of you couldn't get in the way....but yet again....not a muscle was moved by people...grrrr sometimes i hate british people....I tell you something though....if you get the chance to do more than one gig do it.....its so great!!!! Little differences in what is said and how things are played.....i couldn't name all the tracks coz i am rubbish at that...but it wow such a great show...again wazzed down the front for the encores and again met up with Joe Satrini and John Sylv and Wendy at half time.

anyway after the gig we were ushered through a door and up to a room, i suppose there were about 15 of us but time was ticking....john came in and said that joe didn't have much time....getting locked in the car park at midnight was constantly in the back of my mind....it was now 11.20....finally joe arrived but would you believe it started talking to those furthest away...aaaaaaaaaagh.....I pleaded with NJBeast who was before us if we could go first.....he agreed...the sweety that he is.

Anyway ...er hopefully he read the card later...but i then gave him the bag for jeff...another card and a chicken hat with big long legs that hang down like pigtails and the bag for Paul Gilbert again with a card and with a MIlky Way, a jar of coffee, a bag of pretzels, a bag of snack-a-jack's...with the sn changed to cr and a big fluffy snke from Hamleys with a knot in it hehe....for those of you who dont know Paul Gilbert very well, check out the lyrics to Individually twisted and my gifts will all make sense!

We waited for John and co and made our way back to the car park...after getting lost backstage hehe...a bit of a spinal tap moment...oh I had some stuff in the car for him...they left and we proceeded to try to leave at about 11.55....aaaaaaaaaagh machine wouldn't take my money...so i pressed for help...clearly the lady at the other end was ready to go home and annoyed that i had called her...I wont go into all that happed but we got out of the car park literally with seconds to spare!

ok onward to er inkborough I think it was called on the very left hand side of London, quiet little place, but we got on the train with a reasonable amount of time to go...we had to be at Hammersmith at 4.45....so we get about 7 stations down the track, then realized we had left something in the car...the camera I think, so back we went.

We were given the rules and then hurded (50 of us) into the smallest bar room you have ever seen, yes JUST and I stress JUST enough room for 55 people to squeeze in shoulder to shoulder. Joe came in after about 5 minutes....he answered questions, with very long and lovely answers....oh we all got handed a pic and a big satchifunkilus picture before that....I braved a hand and said that it had really annoyed me that people were so stiff at Bournemouth and Cardiff and how did he feel about it....er.....I have no idea what he said, it was a long answer but i was to busy staring into his eyes...no basically he said there are certain protecals to follow...and when he answered someone elses question about filming he referred back to my question saying that they had two choices to film the gig...London or Paris but knowing what the British are like as in crap crowds...er...no Joe didn't put it like that...they opted for Paris, but he said that if they had picked London then he would have been very nervous tonight after the Bournemouth and Cardiff crowd. After the questions everyone got a turn to have a bit of personal time with Joe and a photo...we hung till virtually the end. Maximagnet went first....I had taken all the pictures I had drawn of Joe, Steve and Paul....now this is frustrating....coz I really wanted to know which one Joe liked best, so I said to him to have a quick flick through and sign his favourite, but after he had gone through most of the ones of him, he said 'which one is your favourite?' so I told him it was the one of him and Steve with the guitar in the middle. So he said 'well I will sign that one and you can take it to Steve and he can sign it too' (cough cough...yeah Joe, he only lives around the corner I will pop round later) At this point joe was super duper sweet...he took the picture out and stood with the pen poised over the picture, not moving...i wispered 'its Joe Satriani...thats your name' and laughed....'I know' he said nervously 'its just that its a piece of art and I dont want to ruin it!' aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww come on even you guys have say awwww at that LOL...anyway Mick and John were now hurrying him so he didn't have time to look at the rest....as we went out Maxi turned back to Joe and thanked him because if it hadn't been for Talk to Joe he wouldn't have met me....awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww again.

I got my camera poised to take a photo once the lights went up, but as soon as Stu had finished the others came hurtling on and the chicken was whipped off in seconds so I didn't get a picture....but I was just sooooo delighted to see it there...I would like to think it was Jeff's way of saying thanks!

They all certainly played with extra zeal at hammersmith,....oh just remembered this guy two seats up from him, now I dont understand this at all, I mean, why he bothered, he said to me before the show that he had come more to see Paul than Joe, he was a real PG fan, he explained that he had to go home early coz of work at this point too, well, Paul had done about 4 of about 12-15 songs, sorry i was just digging it not counting it, but the guy goes out, OK, you would think to the loo or something, but no, he didn't come back until the break, then he chatted, annoyingly non-stop to me in the break, and then went, well, it wasn't even half way through joes set! ?????? What??????

Anyway, Oh yeah, AWMAWY started off as usual, but then was changed so much, WOW, AWWWWWSUM I tell you, I cried it was just so amazing...oh oh and when Joe played Ghosts, beforehand he would say that he kinda thought that if you could have your own peronal ghost, it would be cool if he was a cool guitar shredder, but at hammersmith he said that he would like to think that his personal ghost whould play guitar like Paul Gilbert....which I thought was the sweetest thing to say, and gives me real hope that he will have Paul supporting him again next time! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

OH MY WORD .....then the most awful thing happened, it all ended....noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well except for one little thing, we were given flyers outside for Paul Gilbert.....

Next day it was off to the Astoria to get a ticket to see Paul Again in November.....YAY!!!! Cant wait for that coz its real up close and personal in there, will be queueing from 4pm again to get front row again if I can!

THANK YOU JOE FOR THE MOST AMAZING THREE NIGHTS OF GIGS....

Do the Stu - Unfortunately I ca only snatch computer time at work or atthe library at the moment, so getting my pics on-line is very difficult....but I will as soon as possible....I have some really great shots from the gigs!

Ibanezguitars - Yes it was aweome....It was just the most incredible week.....and Its almost like a dream now....but I am safe in the knowledge that this was one dream that came true!

loll - this place is like a diary of my life....as well as a chat to Joe.....I have made some very good friends here and If people read my posts then fantastic if they enjoy em...glad you did!

Cliff - Great to meet you by pure fluke at the London Guitar Show....hope you had a stonking time on the Sunday as well....let me know how it went...please email that link sounds great!

Oh my god WOW!

What a great day at the London Guitar Show

I got there at 9am....not many were there but I got my ticket and proceeded to be the first in the queue....at ths point the big garage type doors were open and I could see some stands, I stood talking to security....anyway the doors closed and I stood listening to Jo on my ipod.....then it was ten....and they opned the other garage door so I had to scoot round and be at the back ....well the middle of the queue!....Still once in I was very excitedly looking round at all the great stands and gathering plentymungus of free stuff, a bag, a t-shirt (yes and this time I didn't even have to hastle a poor guy all day to get one!....this was a vox one...where joe would be later that day), 3 pens a pencil, 2 picks, posters, 3 keyrings....fabulous....oh my god...then I stopped at the Marshall stand and entered a competition...and got a pass into an intimate 30 people , invite only gig with Paul Gilbert...at 12.30 aaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!

So got there early about quarter to twelve and was second in the queue behind a grea chinese guy....forgot to get his name, but he hadn't seen Paul before so he was very excited, the time flew by as we chatted and we went in...wel at the London Astoria was about 3 feet from Paul and I didn't think I could ever get any closer....

wrong!

so aer that I wazzed over to the main stage and caught Guthrie Govan do another 4 or five songs then he came back on with Billy Sheehan and did some numbers....then it was time for the Paul Gilbert gig proper.

He tried to start as before with Norwegian Cowbell, but the disc kept slipping, so while they were sorting it out he did a great version of Down to Mexico just on his own....then they tried to start the disc again...but again it started skipping in the same place....so he said "OK what shall I do now....(thinking) Oh I know" and he proceeded to play Red House, but he must have been thinking about it, coz this time he really got into it and played a longer version YAY!!!! Muchly big grin on my face....anyway again Stonkingly fantastic gig!

So now I had something to eat and chatted with the guy who will b doing a 3-d plan of the show next year, he did the floor plan this year and the artwork so that was cool.

I then started queueing for the Joe Satriani signing...but I was way at the back so started chatting with acouple in front of me....well after a while it was established that we kinda knew each other from the talk to joe board...it was CLIFF....we chatted and chatted for ages...but while we were talking I noticed a guy talking to Stu Hamm to the left, so I got out a pen and Dreaming album cover....but he had gone....Oh flip...so we carried on chatting....then Geoff and Stu were standing talkin to some people further back YAY....I thanked Jeff for putting the chicken hat on stage..."oh that was yours was it" he said "dont worry it is safe with the rubber chicken, I only have one now coz the other one lost its voice!" hehe I thanked Stu too for coming back and begged him to stay, he said it looked like he was going too...anyway they both signed the dreaming cover and I had a photo with them both and a hug and a kiss! Then I saw Mick who pointed at me and said "Satriella" and I called him over as I had a message to give to him...

Time was ticking and it was looking like we wouldn't get to see Joe....but thankfully we made it...I didn't get time for a photo with him but he signed the Dreaming cover, then a kindly guy from the vox stand took a pic of me and Cliff with Joe in the background inbetween us...its a great shot!

I then wazzed over to the main stage and caught the last couple of Yngwie tunes which was great too coz I didn't think I was gonna get to see him as he clashed with the Joe signing!

Great day....great day....Paul Gilbert...twice....wow...and up close and personal...wow....he played my request....

JOE ....GREAT TO MEET UP WITH YOU AGAIN YESTEREDAY!!!!

Cliff - hey....dont suppose you could send me a picture of Joe at the signing could you....coz I had to take mine so quick it came out all fuzzy? Great talking to you.....wish I could have been there on sunday to watch him play too....glad you had such an awesome time! oh and hahahaha no I hadn't seen that Paul clip before....he does make me laugh!!!!

CAROL_bass - well....there are lots of people like me....when you are a Joe fan you get special treatment whoever you are.....and yes...paul is very cool too...met him in Bournemouth briefly and london last year....love im! Enjoy the gig in Brazil! wow!

Tuesdayschild - octavarium is one of the best Dream Theatre albums in my opinion....that and scenes from a memory...you get totally absorbed and involved in that one...amazing....although I would say you MUST get John Petrucci's solo album....Suspended Animation....its fantastic too!

do the Stu - Yes I hope what he said is right...I guess the decision is not up to him though.

ibanezguitars - Yep Red house is just totally a face melting tune...thanks for the link...i think its the same one as on gilbert hotel....it just stops me in my tracks when i hear it....blows me away...thats why i was so stoked that he played it twice!

dream3 - Yes I am totally lucky....I cant believe the musical experiences I have had in the last two years.....it just blows me away....yes i am sitting in a flat on my own at the moment with not a lot ....but boy I got some great musical memories! Thank you for you kind words.

joe satrini - aaaaaaaaaaaaagh so far behind on emails....I feel like we have swopped roles here Sorry....will get to you soon...ish...maybe...if you are lucky....alledgedly...hehe

Maximagnet - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh really! WOW!

Keniko - Thinking of you still....hope you are ok

js200js1000 - how are you doing eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracy - Are you bearing up a bit better now?

Hugs to all

Satriella xx

grrrr I wish I had a computer at home....I just cant keep up with the board and emails....sigh

bigbunny - will be at least a couple of years before I see him again...but I will tell him if I see him!

Cliff - I have a few photos for you....if you email me your address I will send them to you. Glad you had such a great time!

Keniko - Your dad has faded but the memories haven't....thinking of you.

Hugs to all

revan 2008 - ....er no sorry you cant take that title from me!

I am the crappiest fan.....i listen to Joe all the time...but mention the title of a tune and I will inevitably say "huh??"

Coz I never look at the titles of the tunes....I mean I have been listening for at least 15 years, but I can onlhy match the tune with a title in a few cases!

So I think I still hold the title...LMHO

Big Bunny - Thanks for the offer, just say Satriella says Hi if you think of it, but dont worry if you dont, I have said Hi to him personally three times this year and lots of people of mentioned me to him, so he will probably scream and run if he hears my name again LOL

No haven't done any drawing for ages, with a new joe fan man in my life that I talk to for hours and a full time job, its hard to find the time...boo hoo...but that may well change in the very near future with any luck, I have started one of slash, although there is a Joe picture I have ready and is calling me to draw it!

I did find the time to collage 2 cupboard doors with guitars and guitar related people though...YAY...its fab...got a picture of Joe holding his new Satchurator pedal but I have stuck Steve Vai over the pedal so it looks like Joe is holding a little mini-me Steve out...hehehe

Joe Satrini - where are you? Dont make me use the S....Y word!!!

Maximagnet - Do it Do it Do it.....pweeeze....!

Keniko - Hugs & muchly thoughts!

hey Joe....

Big Hugs Satriella xxxx!

Guitarman77897

sometimes they go.....sometimes they stay.

They haven't been with him so far this year...

But they were with him on the Super Colossal tour....ZZ did the filming for the podcasts.

Hugs Satriella xx

oh dear.....i just dont get the time to get on here......sorry joe and fellow satchaholics....

dream3 - wow....stu hamm clinic sounds so cool!

Joe Satrini - Awwwwww get well soon!

sorry didnt read anything else....oh wait...

Big Bunny - have a great time!

Hugs Satriella xx

Hey all......

I am rather chuffed.....got a laptop cheap this week....at last able to download the videos from Joe and Paul Gigis from my camera....no internet at home though...so cant share em yet...

Do the Stu - Hiya...yep....will pop by....I know a secret involoving you....and if you knew about it you would freak out!

keniko - awwww you worked so hard on your band...such a shame it had to be dissolved....but congratulations on becoming a new member of the Max Cady Band...hope you enjoy it!

MikeSB - Thought of you as I visited All Out Guitar...a hundred times hunting for Edward Box....got his new album with Vendetta. Hope you are OK

BigBunny - Whoops...thats the trouble with being behind and having to skip through the posts all the time LOL...well glad you had a good time....its so annoying getting nervous isn't it....you have all these things you have been thinking to say for months, the time comes, your mind goes blank, you say hello all girly, shake his hand and walk off...then you look back thinking...oh no...i missed my chance to ask....then everything you were gonna say comes flooding back! LOL and Grrrr

Revan2008 - huh! Dont talk to me about I-pods.... its ridiculous...you cant transfer stuff from your i-pod onto a new computer, therefore cannot manage it at all...unless you have internet...which i dont at home....so i stuck...still at least i got all joe and pauls albums on there plus a good 20 other albums and some singles....but annoying that i cannot now change anything!

Campbell - I caught Malmsteen briefly at the London Guitar Show...only his last one and a half numbers though...it was a real dilemma....joes signing was at the same time as he was playing...needless to say I chose Joe...but it was cool coz by pure chance I was standing next to a fellow talk to joer and we had a good chat...and yeah you are right...he is pretty awesome! (malmsteen...not the talk to joer LOL)
