invigor: Joe doesn't wear the same shirt every night. (if he did, phew!) The night I saw him he wore an Yngwie shirt. What a statement!

ovation1: I'll get anything I can get my hands on. I'm very impressed.

Matt Martinez: Maybe if nobody shared the musicians would make out better. I'm not talking about the big boys like Metallica or the Stones or those guys but the little guys who depend on record sales for a living. It's common knowledge that most tours don't make money, they're just advertising for the recorded material.

String G: I'm glad to see someone else agrees with me about Blackmore.

Have y'all seen the spin-art Strats? What about a spin art JS series or JEM Ibanez?

michelle: You're story about the pick was beautiful. Your act of kindness will be returned tenfold. What a wonderful thing to do.

PhryDom: Yeah, but the Nuge at least eats what he hunts. He doesn't just hang it on the wall.

It's true John Petrucci showed up at NY G3 tonight. It's just a shame they didn't do the show with him instead of Yngwie Malmsteen.

John Petrucci played Summer Song with Joe? NICE! I wanna hear a bootleg of it...

Stu Clone - I like that metaphor...LOL.

Click here and here to see Joe's rig.

axemanjr~ billy sheehan can't read or write tab or notation, and has no academic concept of theory other than what his ears and intuition tell him (from a conversation i had with him once) . .. just an example, lol.

Yngwie was a jerk, really hogged the stage any time he could. It was quite embarassing. Joe/Vai/Petrucci have so much more class its not funny. Review coming up as soon as the site lets me post.

Headzo, The Denogginizer, and Son Of Dad for G3!!!

Sorry...that episode of Seinfeld (The Frogger) was on tonight...I completely forgot about the scene where Kramer mentions the above alternative names for The Lopper. Funny stuff.

Hey peeps, Just introducing myself, I signed up as Mr. Wah Wah or something like that when the site was first released but when trying to login about 6months later had forgotten how it was spelt, hehe theres prolly a username of mr wahwah still in the data base. So erm this is my next attempt at signing up with a name that I can remember!

I have been a satriani fan for just under 5 years which is also the equiv. of about how long i've been playing electric guitar. I have been an Unlister for ooh, must be over a year now? I am 19 (just turned it last thurs) and goto university in the UK studying Computer Animation.

Music is very close to my heart and I am forming a band here asap. One of my biggest strengths musically is my compositional skills, they tend to be very melodic and therefore I have taken a lot of inspiration from Joe. I hope one day to return the favour :)

If anyone would like to hear some of my stuff I shall put up a couple mp3's somewhere...

OCPS440 - well its difficult to describe the tonal differences but the Jap pedal seems a lot smoother. Yes perhaps the SEM can be quite a lot cleaner but its the smoothness I like like on the MIJ, compared obviously to the Taiwan one which just sounds abrasive. - I can record some sound clips of both if you ever wanted!!

SupaaDave - im sure you won't regret your purchase. Good luck with the bidding!

Spuddle - Look forward to hearing your tunes! make sure you let me know when you have them online - perhaps try IUMA www.IUMA.com - in case you didnt already know it!

Cheers
