Fag.
He is absolutely amazing live. I've seen him 3 or 4 times live now and each and every show was pure sex.mrd wrote:I just saw Satch live a few weeks ago, my god, what a fucking show.

Oi, that was the 2nd time I've seen him. I think what a lot of wankers don't realize is that Satriani improvises about 90% of his playing and really only touches briefly on strong melodic ideas and hooks to make the song recognizable to fans. Both times I saw him, he played Ice 9, and it was vastly different both times, and both of them were different than the album version. He still played the really recognizable and strong melodic hooks and parts of the solos so that you knew what the fuck song he was playing. I wouldn't even care either way, I'd pay just to see him play anything for 2 hours. I would consider myself a half-way decent guitar player, and of the songs that I recognized (at the time, I hadn't heard his latest two albums so quite a few tracks were brand new to me), I noticed one single mistake. I saw him shake his head a bit too, a big no-no for live performers! I was surprised that he did that. But, out of probably a million notes, one missed one isn't all bad!Eraser wrote:He is absolutely amazing live.

A much heard complaint is that with his live shows, the audience are all hyper-critical guitar players who are too busy criticizing every move of his fingers making it boring, but I've never actually experienced it this way. People are really, really enthusiastic.
Thanks for the Cat. I miss his music. His "Foreigner Suite" album was a constant when I was in college. I am off to iTunes.Whiskey 7 wrote:
