I'm so excited and can't wait to hear the new album as well as see Joe live for the first time in November!!

[drummer]

NO JOE DON'T RETIRE, YOU'RE THE ONLY CREATIVE ALL INSTRUMENTAL GUITARIST BEEN LISTENING SINCE I WAS 11...!!!! :( Sniff.

[beeps]

Probably gonna be another Mind blowing album. Which leaves me wondering about my sheer existence. Isn't it strange how the brilliance of his albums leaves one in a state of melancholy.

Looking forward to the new album.  Want to hear some Phrygian Dominant stuff, Joe!!!

[leftyriffs]

Pity this is only released on July 24.The build up feels like it should be the end of June.Oh well

[pablogomezvillegas]

honestly this record i like more than the Modern Primitive of Vai

[adamlosurdo]

Joe, I love you and I pre-ordered the CD, but I have no idea what you're talking about in. Just send me that alien guitar in the video and all will be ok.

[NetoOsuna]

Te vas a pasar de vrg!! ya lo quiero escuchar

[theericbeaty]

RETIRING! Say it ain't so, Joe; say it ain't so!!!! :*(

[videogameguitar-matt]

I have a concept for you.
Stop talking about retiring and make a damn album with vai and just for fun take it back to the way you were doing things in the 90s!
(i say this only because i prefer the 90s vai than the modern one, you're new stuff is awesome)

Seriously. If you care about the fans please just do it. Many of us love both you guys and want a Vai Satriani album.

I didn't like the "retiring" part...  heros don't "retire" : )
