John-OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!!!!! If mckain makes it, I will probly go to war.....):

LAST DAY OF SKOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I still have finals......but no more learning stuff! =D

Ken, I'm so sorry to hear about yer dad..... I can't even find words...

I'm already bawling my eyes out.

I'm hopeing I don't have to write the same post any time soon.

:-(

I'm going to bed.

OME,

I'll tell you something funny: the name of the quality control inspector on the labels was the same on all the guitars.

It has to be said though, Ibanez remain my fave electric guitar manufacturer.

The JS1200 that I have now is an absolute delight to play and a beautiful object.

It's just that from the borrowed Artist model I played when I was young, to my first RG570, 1991 model, to my 2007 J.Custom, the quality had always been absolutely incredible for the price.

Hi Satch

Depuis combien de temps j'attendais de te voir !!! (15 ans)

Mes attentes ont été comblées !!!

Quel délire vers la fin , quand les gens sentaient que ça allait finir , quel waaah , ooooh sur le solo du oh combien émouvant Always With Me , tous les titres qu'on attendait depuis des années de te voir jouer devant nous. Le tonnerre de Summer Song. Des années d'attente, mais quelle récompense , quel immense plaisir inoubliable ! On aurait pu t'écouter encore des heures durant, quel feu d'artifice, ça me manque tous les jours

Merci pour ce souvenir impérissable et partagé avec un ami en plus.

Hope you'll find someone to transate my words. Think it sounds better in French , just two words : un - forgettable

Hope to see u on stage in France soon, to see a guitar fireworks of emotions again

Love from France

Ken sincere condolences man..... Listen your dad musta been a helluva fine man given that the apple don't fall too far and that you are the class individual you are... What a post bro! my dad is fighting his fourth cancer right now at 84 years old. Remember the good times and keep them alive in your music! Music is a gift!!!!

Ken, condolences on the loss of your dad.... He sounds like he was just a wonderful man and father. I'm so sorry....you were blessed to have him, and he was blessed to have a son like you.

Ken: My condolences and sympathy. I have a friend who's just gone through a similar thing with his mum dying. It's painful all right, but by focussing on all the positive treasured memories you'll be able to deal with it - even if it is just one day at a time. I have a strong faith in better things to come. I hope you do too.

hybes: just stayed up to the wee hours watching a webcast of Job's presentation at the WWDC. Very cool. I see a great future for the new 3G iPhone platform and @ $199 that should help sales too. Did you see the cool 'Band in an iphone' app that was demoed? This is the first time I've really felt the product has matured enough to warrant forking out some cash - a lot less of it now too!

hallo mr joe satriani. with so many fans, i bet you will never read this message. but i gotta say this: i started playng electric guitar when i was 15 years old. you were the muse who originally inspired me to develop my artistic skills.this was 1989 i was 14 years old, and i listened and recorded »back to shalla-bal from the radio«: i was amazed!! since then i picked up the guitar and never let it go no more.i found out other amazing guitar-players: jason becker, yngwie malmsteen , duarte costa, and counting with you these are my major influences! of course you will never understand what i mean by influences, unless you hear some of my home-recorded performances! once i discover how can i download it to you i'll send some recordings gladly to you, my original inspirational muse!

Hello Joe.

It was a pleasure to meet you in Barcelona at the Palau de la Musica, a few minutes were very interesting and fun!, (I'm the girl who did not know much English but that he tried using a note...).

I think besides being one of the best musicians on the planet, you're a great person, and I am writing you to know that thanks to your music, many people took much better day by day so hard. For me your music is like a medicine!

Thanks Joe, really.

loll - yeah the nearest travellodge is the london airport travellodge and its like half a mile away from the venue for the show. So that's your best bet :-)

I think you can get a combined ticket to see Joe and go to the show for £25

Hey joe!

just watched the 6th tour podcast(i think it was the 6th)

you were talking about how sweaty the show was and your said 'it must have been 900 degrees'

sounds likean awesome name for a song!!
