His first national audience was shown on mtv. Joe one of the best guitarists but always humble honest and class no super ego or critic of others music a great example for other musicians
@@HighlanderNorth1 Don't even get me started. Years ago we went to an Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert and Wee Wee Mudstain was supposed to open for them. Well, evidently he got his panties in a wad because he wanted to be the headliner - over ELP!! Hey sonny, got bad news for you, you're an upstart and they're a legend. Shut up and sit down!!
If you see Joe Satriani live in concert, you will be speechless by how amazing he plays and what a great taste of music he has. I finally just saw him live in concert in NJ after about 20 years listening to his brilliant artworks and being his #1 fan from the first moment. 💗💗🎸🎸💗💗
I saw this same 3 piece about a month after the Surfing album came out...they played a 900 seat theater, most of the audience was musicians and you could hear people's jaws hit the floor when these guys played....Got to meet Joe, and he was one of the coolest most humble guys you can imagine
@@danroberts9050 yep ... saw Joe and Eric both like that. Eric's show was Ah Via Musicom ... had issues with his board and didn't start until around 11pm (Wash DC show in Georgetown) ... Wrapped at like 1am. All musicians in the audience ... maybe 150 people or so. Joe show was in Baltimore about the same time. It was a standing room show with maybe couple hundred people.
Everyone always talks about Joe's playing ability and his music and all, but I want to say this. He's been married to the same woman since 1981 way before he was a huge star. I'm sure he's been hit on by every hot chick on the planet but he's stuck by his lady the entire time and I admire that more than anything. Just thought I'd mention that.
Jonathan Mover is great! I got to record with him once (my profile picture is at his studio in NY- a long time ago now). He also got me to try pineapple and ham pizza for the first time, which I still love now.
Phrasing is everything. A lot of guitarists can throw together random notes and sometimes get lucky. Every note Joe Satriani plays is well phrased and fits perfectly. That takes amazing talent.
His style doesn't even reach the style of Van halen he's good at blues /rockish mix music...but compared to the greater guitar players....he falls short.
@@isaacperez7136 He does not reach the style of EVH because he has a completely differently style.....EVH is more of a classical (Mozart) style while Satriani is more of a Hendrix (blues) style. Totally differently yet both are magnificent.
Hearing Satch Boogie for the first time on the ‘Satch Tapes’ VHS as a kid is what drove me to learning guitar. That combined with hearing Passion and Warfare from Vai and Eruption from Eddie ❤️
@@sleeplessnightsofficial6334 I'll never forget the first time I saw Sach boogie late one night on MTV. Completely blown away! And then didn't see it again for months and months.
I'm glad my pops was open minded when it came to music. Being in elementary rocking Satriani on my moms Walkman was the shit. Yes kids the ones that played those badass mix tapes you and the homies would share and gift each other. This is one of the jams my bros and I would mosh it up to in the living room. 🤘🏽
Just a couple rock legends doing what they do best. It's incredible stuff ...idk if aliens exist but if they're watching i hope they saw this and took notes
Joe was an opening act this day for a Dead/Fogarty show presented by Bill Graham to support public schools. Few in the early crowd were there to see Joe and it was easy to work one's way up front even though it was a stadium show. I love the Dead and all my deadhead friends, but they all missed the boat that day by not stepping up front to see Satch with me. It's the only time I ever saw him with a 3-piece band.
@archstanton live This was held pro funds against AIDS. Guns N' Roses were supposed to perform but the "One in a Million" controversy canceled their spot.
I was at that show too. Drove from San Diego to Santa Cruz to see my friends and then went to this. People went crazy when Fogerty came on too. Great show!
Joe "Satch" Satriani (Westbury, Nueva York, 15 de julio de 1956) es un virtuoso guitarrista de rock instrumental estadounidense. Fue nominado en 15 ocasiones a los Premios Grammy y ha vendido más de 10 millones de discos en todo el mundo.
@@spanqueluv9er I think that person was basically talking about timing and tempo during live performances. Typically most bands/artist tend to play songs slightly faster than the recorded album version. With that being stated, Satch has also played some of his softer ballads significantly slower than he recorded. Joe is just a master of creativity and dexterity. He has proven that fact in the studio and on the road for decades now.🙌🤟
Joe is actually a SONGWRITER within the limits of his chosen direction. He writes complete SONGS, with intros, verses, choruses, bridges, solos and outros. He doesn't just blow exotic scales at 140dB and 240 BPM over a weird set of chord changes using a bizzare time signature.
As a guy born at the turn of the millennium, I find most modern hard rock and metal bands sounding artificial or edited together. Maybe it’s just that I can hear the quantization happening and throwing it off. But older bands and guitarists from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s all sound like the talent is coming right from their fingers. Also is it just me or do songs have way to much crammed into themselves nowadays? Often I can’t tell what instruments or notes are playing cause it’s all loud and mushing together. Whereas I could listen to a Van Halen record and be able to clearly hear the drum beat and bass parts while Eddie is shredding.
Satch in his “Nils Lofgren look” days! Saw Satch in late 1995 in Dublin, I shook hands with the superb bassist Stu Hamm from the stage! Who’s on drums here? Jeff Campitelli? Or Jonathan Mover?
First time I've seen him with hair, nowadays he always seems to be wearing a hat. Regardless his guitar skills are out of this world (surfing with the alien😂).
@handmadehearts he also taught everyone how to play and like you said do it your self I was hung up on haveing a band like Metallica till I saw 👀 you can yourself im glad your enthusiastic about Joe he's my hero too
Love the sound and energy! I saw a short clip of this performance at a Joe Satriani video on VHS, glad it is posted here as a full song. Great stuff! Hey why do people always put negative comments and compare players (who's better blah2)? Just enjoy them for what they are, as unique individual artist, Cheers!
Acting the whole time like he's getting some. Dude...close your mouth. Super talented. In retrospect, it's a lot of guitar gymnastics though. A lot of that he can't do without his superstrat style Ibanez guitar.
Joe is bad ass . As Sammy called him in chicken foot Smoke. I have had the pleasure of sitting 4 ft from Joe on 2 occasions watching him shred truly one of the best .
just watching the leads. They were ok. I use to think he was better than anybody on the planet. faster, more outrageous, better skill. I just didnt see it here, nor the last footage I watched. Sure wasnt bad, dont think Im knocking him. Hes better than me by far. Just not as good as I use to think.
usually i dont like this shredding shit. 🤔... one exception from the rule : Joe ! 👍👍👍 this guy manages it to put some groove into shredding . really unique 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I also usually don't like this shredding stuff, but you are right, when the guitarist is in the pocket while shredding, I love it. Buckethead is another one that seems like no matter how fast he is playing, he stays in the groove.
