Joe Satriani

[CVHfan]

Satriani is fucking amazing. I am listening to "Surfing with the Alien" and I have had this for a while and it is awesome. This is the guy that taught Kirk Hammett and Steve Vai. A total master. Yet does not lose the organic feel.

[flappo]

yup

he grows in my estimation every time i see/hear him play

unlike vai he's not a poseur

and is arguably just as talented but vastly more melodic and tasteful

vai's best stuff was with dlr , since then - fuck all

[Soul Reaper]

I can listen to Satriani over and over again and never get bored. He's amazing!

Saw him a couple of years ago during the G3 tour in Europe.
