i am depressed joe, i saw a clear very limited addition js1200 in orlando...it was 5000$ and it was right handed. will there ever be any left handed js series guitars? i almost feell ike pulling a hedrix and buyin a js 1200 and just redoin the tremolo and all, but id mess it up for sure lol.

Opinion time:

I'm listening to the listening party. This is the first time I've heard the new album. Gnaaah I like apart from the drums being too simple. The sound they've got for the drums is fairly good though. Track 2 reminds me of The Extremist and Luminous Flesh Giants for some reason. I like the heavy chorusy bits. Hands in The Air (I heard it before when Joe was on the rockline thing) would be 1000000 times better with hi-hats looser and only on crotchets instead of quavers. Is There Love In Space has boring drums. Souls Of Distortion, possibly excessive use of wah? Just Look Up reminds me of Love Thing, Home and You Saved My Life. Tumble should have been on the album. Dog With Crown And Earring is awesome. It has that Mountain Song vibe about it.

Jazzy x - "I dont need your remarks."

We don't need your childish behavior and name-calling.

"I have learnt that you simply love picking on my negative comments."

I'm not picking on your comments. I ask questions in response to the things you say, but you hardly answer any of them. Why is that? The three questions I asked you earlier are still unanswered. Why?

"you have (sic) indulged in any posts of mine, unless you want to disagree."

Then you haven't read all of my posts. I've talked to you about many different things. Do a search. I've asked you many different questions, but you haven't answered most of them. Why not?

What's wrong with disagreement? I disagree with things said by many different people on this site. Most of us are able to get along just fine.

"You have a grudge against me"

As I have said in the past, I have no grudge against you. Why do you think otherwise?

"Maybe you should change your nick to "doing the fanboy.""

Maybe you should change your nickname every time you make an apology, because you think people will forget what you've said in the past. Oh, wait...you already do that.

I agree with your comments about the drums. Jeff's playing on most of the songs is WAY too simple.

The Souls Of Distortion is one of my favorite tracks on the album. I like a lot of the "little" things in the background of the song, and how Joe uses the wah differently (ever so slightly) when he plays each phrase. I like how he completely opens up the wah on the last chorus, for example. A lot of those subtleties are probably hard to hear if you're streaming the album online, though.

Anybody watch MTV UK? Surely Emma Griifths from TRL has to be the most beautiful girl in the whole entire world!!!!! Those eyes...

[/obsessive rant] Sorry... lol

alo again!

does anyone knows the lyrics to Lifestyle and I like the rain?

My review of Pistoia G3 date?

Amazing show...my first G3... Pistoia Blues Festival 25th:

At 22.00 Robert Fripp appear on stage, Mr. Fripp it's a great musician and i think he wrote a lot of amazing music...but 20 minutes of guitar sint they have not been appreciated from the people....I think he play a long long intro ....

22.20 Billy Sheehan appear to play with Mr Fripp and the spectators warmed up

22.30 Steve Vai exit with triple neck....he play great...all the songs were like the DVD G3/Astoria I D E N T I C A L great show man, great sound...the band, they have played a lot brings together!....Steve is very charismatic...the show lasted 1 hour and 1/2 ...wonderful....

00.00 Joe exit...the really surprise of the night...Joe is fantastic, he play like a killer, many new songs (I have found them much beautiful), a very particoulary version of Always, a fantastic Blue dream, all perfect!!! he was much technician ...

The jam: The greatest moment of the show, Fripp play normally (scales, arpeggios, bending) Vai incredible, and Satch a real master and director of the show...Ice 9 and Rockin in a free world wonderful ...

And this is for Joe:

I Joe, have you eat your birthday present? The cookies from Sicily that I gave to you in the aftershow of Pistoia Bles Festival! I'm your greatest fan from Sicily...I hope that you have enjoy the sicialian cookies.....it was a great honor for me to meet you and shot a photo with you, I'll always remembar your smile when i gave you the present !!!....thank's for your gentility and for all your fantastic music and for all you are all the one which represents for as!!!....

If you want more cookies or other honey from Sicily write me!!!...I' ll send you immediately :-)

Nick - nice one.. I'll look into.. If money and time permit I'd love to see them... if for no other reason than to watch Neil Peart play... he blows me away..

creativity cannot be switched on and off... she shows up when she shows up.. and often at a time and place that is not of your choosing... lmao..

"I often think that i don't really make my music. My music makes herself, using me" - that is exactly the same for me.. once I'm fully immersed in the concept at both a spiritual and physical level.. the creative process within me takes it's own path... I am then reduced to a simple means of transfering the sound within my head to an external media... occasionally I'll interject into the process where there is a logical junction in the music and inject ideas.. like a new key, new dynamic, etc.. then let the process continue on it's new path...
it's not so often that I make composition happen.. more often I let composition happen... the only times I find myself really thinking deeply about the music is when I know something spcific is needed... like a moment where the orchestra must follow specific rules of harmony so as to create an 'authentic' sound specific to a period - such as Baroque.. or where I know that I am going to hit a moment that requires a 'development' or 'recapitulation' section in a loose Sonata form sense...

like all fine ladies... creativity is mysterious, beautiful and hard to define....
and should have nice tits and a great ass..

Hi!

JMDS: Here are the lyrics of "LIfestyle" (thank you novjul)

You wake up in the mornin and you're smokin like a house on fire

Cause you been out all night and you're burnt down to the wire

I really love ya baby but you're puttin me through the fire

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

You're talkin too much boy you're drivin it way too fast

And you never make sense cause you're too busy havin a blast

I know we got no future cause you just can't remember the past

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

Packed my bags got one foot out the door

Cause I can't take one more night on the killin floor

I must be losin my mind cause I think I'm comin back for more

woh-oh

You're lifestyle is killin me

You're lifestyle is killin me

And if I don't do nothin bout it there'll be nothin left of me woh-oh

stop killin me

stop killin me

...

Bacon sandwiches kick ass.

Michelle- my favorite disney movie is beauty and the beast... lumiere and codsworth crack me up!

OMG was it ever hot here last night... temp got to above 90 but the humidity was at 77... yuck! Anyway, hope all is well with everyone... heading back to denver in the morning, another long drive :)

well, off to go kayaking with my mom and brother... hope all in satchland have a good morning/afternoon...

Stace - *gedunge*..... sound of my car hittin' a tree cos I'm not paying attention to the road... lmao..

ok.. it's true.. the killer is the man not the weapon... however... the sole function of a gun is to wound and / or end life..

I just find it odd that anyone that is devoutly religous would have an interest in weapons of any kind..
I've yet for find a religion that says killing stuff is ok and a healthy passtime...
an most hunters are killing for sport.. because there is no real need to hunt...
I don't go fishing.. because if I want to eat fish I go and buy fish.. one that has already been killed.. no point in me adding another dead fish to those killed already...
and for the same reason I don't need to hunt.. I just see no point in it...

don't get me wrong though... I'm not a tree huggin' pinko commie fagg... and I've fired plenty of 7.62 rounds out of an SLR-FN [predecesor of the spazzy little SA80] along with 155mm rounds too.. from a big fat boy gun.. and learned to rip the shit out of folks with a beyonette [now that's proper killin'].. all on behalf of Her Majesty...
so I have no issue will killing folks in self defense - or if ma'am says so - cos she da boss....
I guess I'm just not into killing stuff that don't need killing..

muchas gracias! LucySorets from the neighboor david of portugal

now it's missing only i lke the rain!

Anyone the lyrics

Ovation ~ please accept my belated condolences on the passing of your father-in-law ~ I realized this morning I was remiss in not posting this message earlier ~ your post reminded me strongly of when I lost my best friend in 1993 ~ I was able to visit him in the hospice about a month before he died ~ his final days were spent managing his pain ~ my grief as large and deep, but he was finally relieved of his suffering

we spend our lives balanced on the razor's edge, always pushed and pulled by the dualities of our existence here on planet earth

Here is a roughly paraphrased Tibetan saying I heard once: when a child is born the world rejoices, but the child wails ~ in death, the world mourns but the spirit rejoices

...peace...

Hy guys and Satch fans around the world, got a little moment where I find time to post something.....
JMDS - was on the site for the listening party and wrote down what I heard from I like the rain, I hope the lyrics are correct, so here they are:
I tell you somethinī
now want (?) a lie
but in my living (?) feelinī cold (feelinīcold)
Iīve been a sinner most of my life
regard (?) a mercy on myself
donīt like the sunshine
thatīs not my way
I need a hurricane to wash myself away
I like the rain
I like the rain washing you over (?) me
I do my own thing
in the old time
little and large(?) on me (no way)
Iīm down in dirty (?)
itīs such a crime
you know some day iīm gonna bay
now of that think iīm really bad
but then I think about the good times Iīve had
I like the rain
I like the rain fallinī down on me
So come and join me
If you dare
I take you for a little ride (little ride)
could be the last time
donīt really care
itīs just the turning of the tide
The day is coming
just circe on high (?)
my own apokalypse is fallinī from the sky
I like the rain
I like the rain fallin down on me
I like the rain
I like the rain washing you over me
(? means I didnīt understand the text correctly and wasnīt sure if itīs correct)

Thanks Plum Loco for response. But don`t you anyone dare to think or post that recordin`at Joe`s house diminished somehow Engines` importance among Joe`s albums. This even adds the release uniqueness.

Greetings Joe and thanks again for playing at Bornemouth UK. I wasn't going to take my 16 year old daughter as I said she wouldn't appreciate your music but she said she was upset by this assumption so I bought her and boyfriend tickets and they enjoyed it.

I know people ar always making suggestions about albums and G3 partners, I hope you will permit me to add my suggestions. PLease consider collaborating with Nigel Kennedy, the famous British classical crossover violinist. He produced a best selling CD of Vivaldi's four seasons and has also produced Doors and Hendrix albums, working with classical and jazz musicians and playing in reduced orchestra style. Have you heard his brilliant brilliant brilliant "Kennedy Experience" CD on which he does 3rd stone from the sun, little wing, drifting, 1983 a merman I should turn to be (I'm not joking, its brilliant-worthy of the master) purple haze and fire? There's a musician who really broke the mould.

So how about Joe and Nigel, axe and fiddle, crossing boundaries and reaching new audiences? as my friends beavis and butthead might have said 'he he, that would be COOL!"

OCPS470 - Either that or he's now got a new model but this time in candy apple red!!! Wouldnt it be funny if he had a seriously pimped up ride with the biggest sound system on the planet!!! Do you happen to have a midi file of the drums and, if not, can you create one otherwise it may take me a while as I am stacked with work at the mo. By the way, I checked out SRH and it definately needs the drums working on.

civgeek - lol!!! I just wish I knew what one looked like. We dont have them in the UK.....

cuthbert1776 - You know, its quite scary that you know so much about guns............lol!!!

anibur - Where did you hear that???

delfino - I am ambi-destrous.........I can write fuck all with both hands!!!!

Hopefully I can logon to satch.com again before I go off to Germany as I am playing some shows over there but, incase i cant, wish me luck people.
