dakawan, were you the guy that would occasionally pop out of yer chair and have a few moments of sheer bliss before you'd sit back down? lol! I think I remember laughing at you and enjoying yer enthusiasm! I was cheering you on at cheering the band on. lol! A lot of the front rows left a LOT to be desired in the enthusiasm department, but the middle section behind us was rockin' out! There were a few in my row (ee) that were really feelin' it. The guy next to me was pretty cool too (as was my hubs - the OTHER guy next to me). So, I am a witness, you DID have a great time! lol! ;-)

DUUUUUUDE!! Joe Satriani w/ John Petrucci live "Summer Song" Best Buy Theater, NYC 12/13/10

Seasons greetings everyone.

Now, I saw the "partial" set list that was posted on here but I was wondering if anyone knows if Satch is going to play The Golden Room, or Time Machine at the BSAWW tour? I doubt Time Machine 'cause we got to see that gem at that concert in '08 but I figured I'd ask. Guess we are just gonna have to settle for Dream Song and Flying in a Blue Dream to get our Lydian rocks off...

Fair enough...

...Interesting...My mom just called me and told me that tonight at 9:30 Central, Jeff Beck is going to pay tribute to Les Paul on WTTW, gonna watch that fo' sho'. Hope they do some Lazy River and How High the Moon.

Well if anyone knows, let me know.

Thanks

Alice Cooper confirms Rock Hall induction

Ooops I forgot we only have WTTW in Chicago. False alarm everybody. So to rephrase that anyone in Chcago interested in seeing jeff Beck do Les Paul, he's on right now.

Cheese - fantastic that Chris will be close to family, as long as he doesnt fry too many appliances and guitar gear! Think of it this way, at least you won't have a 2 hr drive through the mountains.

Axe - incredibly good pics from the NY show, absolutely crystal clear with nothing but air between you and Joe. Thanks for sharing them.

Its our turn for a tour Joe!!

Thanks everyone for the good wishes for Chris. We started at 6 am yesterday, and finished up by 8 pm. Ohhhhhhhhh, I's tarred! He loves his apartment and says he is very happy to be there. I hope that holds true for him.

Mr. Satriani - Thank you for the wedding music!

I got married last month, and during the ceremony we played "Oriental Melody" while the preacher, best man, ring bearer, and I (the groom) walked down the aisle to the front.

I had a lot of requests for the soundtrack to my wedding! Thanks for channeling so much creativity into your music.

I just had a conversation with Kate Gosselin in the frickin' toothbrush aisle at Target!! LMMFAO!!! She was very nice, contrary to belief. We talked about what we put in our kids Christmas Stockings. She had 2 of the sextuplets with her. That totally made my day like you would not believe! lol! My daughter and I have been watching their show since it started.

:-)

I got 2 Colgate toothbrushes for my kids Christmas socks - purple & blue if yer wondering. lol!

Hey Joe......... "watchya doin' with that guitar in your hand" I say... HEY JOE (OK enuff of that)

But on a more serious note JOE, since you are the corner stone of every G3 Tour that is put together and then taken on the road, I have an awesome complete NO BRAINER suggestion for your next tour of G3.

YOU, whomever and (most definitely) RICHIE KOTZEN!!!!, what an outrageously "UNDERRATED" talent , forget about GUN SLINGER this guy is!!

There is no doubt, the world is full of "ridiculous" talent out there just look on YOUTUBE (that's where the real undiscovered talent is) NOT on American Idol lol

But I think it's time to introduce a NEW dimension to G3, and that is not to invite ONLY "fret burners" who are masters of modes & scales (so what, yawn I'm off to get a beer) RICHIE KOTZEN can sing like a bird, write like a mofo and play like no ones business.

This is what I would PAY to see, true musicians who can capture a listener and still light it up on guitar...... oh and I thought of another talent and "showman" to add to that line up PHIL X!!

JOE , RICHIE & PHIL guitar talent but the ABILITY to ENTERTAIN also and bring them to TORONTO to Massey Hall and I guarantee it will sell out for 2 NIGHTS!

KOTZEN, KOTZEN, KOTZEN, and home town hero PHIL, PHIL, PHIL

oh al

I'm listening to the new Michael Jackson cd "Michael" and really diggin' it. Hard to believe there will be no more MJ.

Awww, I just found this - Hold My Hand.

*sniff*

Tito, pass me a tissue...

Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED, GUNS N' ROSES) is undergoing surgery on his sinuses after he developed a hole (perforation) in the cartilage of his nasal septum as a complication from years of cocaine use. His wife Susan writes on her Twitter profile, "[I] am thankful and blessed my man is alive today! Kids, don't do drugs! Say a prayer for Duff as he's getting surgery on his sinuses (a hole the size of a quarter from years of abuse). We must live and learn how lucky we are for our health and family and friends. Love you, Duff."

McKagan revealed in a 2004 interview that he was forced to give up his hard-living lifestyle after encountering serious pancreas problems. He said, "I was drinking a gallon of vodka a day, doing cocaine, any pill I could get my hands on, heroin. And on May 10 1994, my pancreas exploded. The pain was like in the war movies, where they say, 'Kill me. Put me out of my misery.' I got out of the hospital, and I started riding my mountain bike; I was shaking so bad I didn't know what to do. The first day I rode for, like, eight hours. I didn't want to be static, or else I would think about drinking. Then I met Benny The Jet, my sensei. He saved my life, got me kickboxing. It's pretty much the most intense workout there is. I face everything in the ring that you face in life. Now I work out six days a week — kickboxing, lifting weights... I'm an extreme person. When I did drugs and drank, I was extreme, and when I go to the gym, it's not just to fuck around."

Ok, Yesterday was a very special day.

I got to meet Joe before the second NYC show at the meet and greet. I won that privelidge from this here very website ! He was so nice and easy to talk to. Of course I had to ask him about Alan using Basspedals on the tour. And then he tells me that he was listening to Yes and ELP while the band was in Europe. ( two of my favorite bands so that blew my mind). He signed all my stuff but I had a crap camera with me so our picture didn't turn out to well.

This was my first Joe show and there is nothing else to describe what I saw and heard other than Amazing ! Seriously the greatest concert I ever went to. The sound was the best I have ever heard and Joe's playing was out of this world. Nothing could have prepared me for what I witnessed yesterday. It has to be seen and heard in person ! There were many moments where I just had to close my eyes and soak in the sound and the playing it was just that good.

Not quite sure what it takes to get people on their feet for a concert. I couldn't contain my joy so Joe got a standing O from me after every song , the crowd came around at the end and got on their feet for the last few numbers at least.

I can't wait to get the DVD and hopefully CD of the show he filmed this tour it was just outstanding in every way.

WOOO! I'm having a feckin' MJ dance party gift wrap fest up in herre!!

Don't be jealous! lmao!!

Now playing in surround sound

hey Skippy...thanks
