HA! I dig the stompin' part. lmao!!

That was funny!!

chojuaniche that was a great vid you posted....truly funny

Do the stu, you mentioned Porcupine Tree, I watched a Blackfield DVD the other night, one of Steven Wilsons many other projects? I'd be interested to know what you thought of it.

Chadley, you failed psychology. No way, not you...

This is Mountain. lmao!

gotta have Joe - Oh, OK...cool. I took a psychology class in high school and again in college. I loved both of 'em. In the high school class, we watched a lot of movies (Field Of Dreams, Rain Man, etc.) and wrote essays about the problems the main characters had...that was pretty fun. And then we did a lot of group projects in the college class. It wasn't anything too fancy, but it was better than just sitting there reading a book. ;-)

So you have what...one more year of high school left?

I got into them early last year and then saw them live in early March I think it was. That was definitely one of my favorite shows from last year...and it was a bit of a surprise to me that John Wesley (PT's second guitarist when they play live) was the opening act. I enjoyed his set quite a bit.

But back to Blackfield...they're really cool. It's pop, but it's "smart" pop, and I like that a lot. That's the only SW side project I've had the time or the money to get into...I think IEM will be next, but it requires more money than I have right now.

Yes, Mountain sings Mississippi Queen.

MoonLover, I can only hope that when I see Joe in October, he makes my balls vibrate too.

lmmfao!!!

I think that was the best one yet!

Joe does a lot of things, but I believe he might be unaware of that one.

To damn funny!

Do the Stu:

Actually, first time I saw him play live and met him in person was during the not-so-well known whirlwind 2 day "Joe Satriani" tour Jan 1996, he played Metro in Sydney, and then Allans daytime store appearance and Melbourne venue in 2 days, then flew straight to New Zealand the next day. PHEW!

He has also toured well before then (but I didn't know about him before 1994 or so). I know he toured a couple of times from discussions about him playing outdoors in Adelaide, and a recording I have from him at Lewllyn Hall in Canberra around FIABD tour time, not sure of the date (1989/90/91?)

I get to see him again at the Enmore during ITLIS tour with my brother and also met Matt, Jeff, and Galen for the first time there.

And now, after that awesome show last night in Adelaide, I'm looking forward to the 14th in Sydney and the 17th in Brisbane - If my ears stop ringing!

Oh, and he did both Bamboo and an absolutely AWESOME searching during ITLIS at Enmore!

I was fortunate enough to hear searching at that venue on that night. Before then I hadn't really thought of it as one of my favourites. But now the album version reminds me of that night.

I should think of a new word, but for now all I have is : "AWESOME"

webby....le chat is still......le pooh......

hybes - That's a solid list there...not too many new bands on it though. Is that because none of the newer ones come close, or because you don't listen to much new music?

I find it's tough to make a list of favorites because a lot of the bands I like are in different places historically. The rare reunion aside, Led Zeppelin finished doing everything they were ever going to do three years before I was born. Then there's a band like Aerosmith...they're still around, but I feel their best years are behind them and they've only released one album of all-new music in the last 10 years. So it's hard to compare bands like that to Collective Soul, for example, who are still putting out new music and play a concert or two in my area every six months or so.

One thing that helps me to rank newer bands is to ask myself which one I'd go see if they were all playing a concert on the same night. But again...how do you take that and compare it to Led Zeppelin?

It's cool that you were able to hear Searching. The version of that song I heard in Ventura on the ITLIS? tour may very well be my all-time favorite Satch moment.

Thanks for those links...your site seems to be down at the moment, though, so I'll have to try them again later. I look forward to hearing about your other shows, too... :-)

Dear Joe, fans.

I play Extremist and want to extend it with harmonica ;) will post video later on youtube ... for your judgment :)

thanks a lot ahead. Hayk

Hey Blue_Moon, nice play!!

and the Harmonica in BBM is in Eminor... or G major... get one in the key of G, OR ELSE

+ then u can also play Neil Youngs heart of gold :)

BBM is Em, right, think so ... any Idea for Extremist???

Wooo, way to ba ally! Yer right about the backing track. lol! Good stuff!

Michelle, I cant rememeber which song it was, as I was just to excited over all. . But it was the same seris of notes. the same notes and every time joe played those notes in the song, that riff etc, my balls fully vibrated and they also felt like they was humming.

So thats the first. never before has any guitarist made my balls vibrate. now I will be searching my gutair neck for the secret ball humming series of notes.

So hey I can honestly say. Joes your playing makes my balls vibrate.

I am sure you will love it michelle, maybe you will get lucky and have some vibrating goin on also. Respect. A
