who the fuck are any of you to say who is better? How do you even make that judgement? Music is an artform and therefore subjective, so while you may like one thing more than another, that doesn't make it better. If you want to compare who is better at something, go watch sports, where the winner is better for that moment.
@665AlmostEvil100 Exactly.......Nobody is better....just different. Yes Joe is "better" than me. but not "better" than another artist of his caliber. I, personally, would rather listen to Joe than Steve Vai....And some fruitcakes will want to fight over that. It's something I just don't understand.
Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are totally different players. Vai is much more eccentric more technically oriented (much like Zappa), and Joe is much more melodic and musical. Where Vai is furiously fast and frenetic, Joe writes great compositions and doesn't let his songs get taken over by technical demonstrations. Vai does his thing better than anyone, but Satriani's material demonstrates much broader flexibility of style and mastery of the guitar in it's various genre.
For his speed and fluidity what really sets him apart is the fact that he can go really simple and evocative and push out those great melodic passages.
....just died hearing this video....then went to heaven...and then came back again to hear more....Joe, you have been to me the best guitarist of ALL TIME... Boston House of Blues 12/09/10...I lost my voice screaming....love you soooo, Joe....keep ROCKIN'....and keep lovin' what you do....you bless us all with your genious......(cry)
I remember Joe saying on the DVD on how Hendrix used to create a memorable experience for the listeners and the crowd on every show he played. IMO that's exactly how Joe plays these two shows. Undoubtedly one of THE best live performances ever... I only wish I'd been there myself. Well, there's always the DVD, right.
The outro and the outro solo... what can I say, gives me the chills. Every time. That's how good it is. What a masterful musician in every sense of the word.
It's so easy to see why he loves to play this song live. When he was rehearsing with his band for the Super Colossal tour, they started jamming out on this song even though it wasn't part of the set list.
Satriani's chrome guitar was called "Pearly" cause it had pearly gates pickups in the neck and bridge (Duncans). It was stolen in Ft. Lauderdale a few years back.
so what. it's satriani. you hit the billboard top 100 when shitty hair metal groups and crappy pop music ruled. this guy paved the way for great instrumental music.
This concert is hilarious due to the fact that the audience practically dies nearing the end of the album. That and Satriani giving about 50 instroductions of his group to the crowd. I mean, he literally says that Stu Hamm is on bass at least 5 times.
Also, I saw a lot of you arguing if his guitar had a Seymore Duncan in the bridge.
This chrome boy had a SD Pearly Gates in the bridge, and this guitar has since been stolen from Joe Satriani. This guitar was nicknamed "Pearly" due the the SD pickup.
Joe has actually lost a few of his guitars, which is probably why we don't see him playing some of the rare ones much.
Pearly was indeed stolen from Satriani and the bastard who did it should be really ashamed of him/herself. You are also correct that it was called Pearly because of the SD Pearly Gates pickup.
It must be that bum on the stage playing bass stealing all the guitars, because thats an inside job, that doesn't happen randomly over and over again to Joe.
Look at him, he's dying to get some crack rocks even on stage, look at him, he must be selling guitars to his crackrock dealer.
It is so nice to see such innovative genius such as Satch. Since metal guitarists are just shredding up and down the necks, destroying music. Satch is simply a genius. A legato god as well
Just wondering, I remember reading something about Satriani where he would occassionally have the habit of closing his eyes while he played, so some how this led to the sunglasses. I can't remember where i heard this...
he went surfing with the alien, then he discovered the engines of creation while rdeing the waves. He then went to a place, not of this earth, where he flew in a blue dream.Once done he began to surf back, but came across a crystal planet, where he stopped and met the extremist. He then returned to earth to study with prof. satchafunkilus and learn about the musterion of rock. Thus he became sucsesful as the super collasally talented guitarist!
Not russian...australian...its my new word im using for really brainless fuckwits..y'know peasants had no schooling or education..there-fore comes the word==peasant...glad you laughed though..thanks mate..cheers Nick
Which is why I just stare in absolute awe when I see talented guitarists, like BB King, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde, Andy Timmons, Herman Li, etc.
Surfing with the alien was my first taste of Satriani.Steve Vai won me over in David Lee Roths Skyscraper album.They both offer so much in their own special ways.You cant really put one in front of the other.They stand side by side above us all.We gaze in wonder.God bless them both.
every1, lets just stfu about comparing whos beter vai or satch, lets just say that their both great guitarists no, BEST guitarists in the world and that they must b gods extra sons
I had never heard this, this song is crazy. To add onto the conversation here at the top about preference of players when it comes down to the greats: I appreciate both Satch and Vai exponentially. I find though that Vai's music isn't as user-friendly as Satch so I pick Satch over him. BUT, outside of these players I'd have to say I much more prefer the exotic styles of Marty Friedman and the versatility of Vinnie Moore.
Who is this guy?! Jonas Brothers are way better than him on their worst day - I never even heard of this guy before... Joking anyway... lol As with regard to comparing greats, when you are on their level it is only a matter of whose music you prefer more. As far as my personal preference, I pick Satch.
A lot of arguing about Steve and satch, Lets be honest they're both immense. As a guitar player (shit 1 tho) I'd love to play half as gud as either one of them!, But I do prefer satch, for the simple fact that satch writes great albums and I love most of the songs on each album but with Vai, I (BEING ME) find that I only like a few songs on Vai's albums. Not to take a way from vai he's technically better but I prefer a melodic writer like satch :)
my fave-songs of satriani are....ten words, time, super colossal, crowd chant, mind storm, devil's dance, ceremony, always with me always with u, flying in blue dream, echo, ice 9, searching, crushing day, speed of light, cryin'
AND THE FUCKING BEST SONG OF THE EARTHHISTORY IS????? HORDES OF LOCUSTS!!!!! BUT THE LIVE VERSION FROM DREAMING 11!
All this commentary that involves fighting and comparison undermines the artistic, emotional and technical achievements that these people strive for. To seek perfection and abhor the humanity cannot be fulfilling; applaud the human seeking their own ideal.
Sammy Hagar is forming a mega band with Satch and thinks their band will be comparable with Led Zeppelin. This is with Satch not Vai, obviously he could have worked with either...!
If Vai would play a dual against Vai, Vai would rip him to pieces purely on technique. I prefer Satch's music but his music isn't getting any better I must say. Surfing and flying are way better than all the others.
You said Vai twice, and ever heard of G3? Satch could surely hold his own technique wise, but the music would sound like shit (Vai) but look good. Satch can show off and make it sound good at the same time. This song isn't no easy breeze, let's see you play it.
Satch I mean of course. Sorry about that. I didn't say this was an easy song to play and Satch has a good technique but Vai is far more advanced in speed, appergios, sweep picking, etcetera. I already said I prefer Satch. I'm not a speedfreak. Jimi Hendrix is my all time favourite and he wasn't about speed either. Yes I've been to a G3 show, saw Satch twice in Amsterdam. and saw Vai three times, twice with the Metropole Orchestra. I can't do what Satch does but I certainly can't do what Vai does
Vai is technically good but he do to much acrobatic stuffs, thats why his music sounds sometimes strange. Satriani can do it too but he know when he should it to do watch "cool 9" "mystical potato" "crushing day"
Vai is technically good but he do to much acrobatic stuffs, thats why his music sounds sometimes strange. Satriani can do it too but he know when he should it to do watch "cool 9" "mystical potato" "crushing day"
You don't have to tell me anything about Satch because I have all his CD's, LP's and DVD's. Vai is technically better and that's all I want to say about that. I still prefer Satch's music and playing.
Thats your opinion and i respect it but i am of the opinion that Satriani have more experience in guitar playing and both are good guitarists but Vai is definitely not better than Satriani. Both plays stakkatos, Legatos, tappings and Sweeps...with the difference that Satriani know when he should it to use. To end, please dont forget that Satriani was Vais teacher.
As I respect your opinion as well. The fact that he taught Vai, doesn't mean he can't become 'better' than his teacher. He is also a bit older which gave him more experience. As I play the guitar myself, I have been looking very closely at their technique for many many years and I just feel I'm right but it is almost impossible to prove my point but I am absolutely convinced of it. It's absolutely not important because it is about music and not about speed and technique.
This is Problably the best Band Satriani has assembled in a live show he HAD sTU hAMM oN bASS tHE mAN jEFF ON dRUMS AND i fORGOT THE NAME OF THE GUY THAT PLAYS THE kEYBOARD AND THE gUITAR BUT HE PLAYED HIS BEST SONGS AT THAT POINT aND sERIOUSLY Stu Hamm is the Bass player satriani ever played with it sure aint Dave Larue
Steve may have better technique than Joe, but between them both I belive Joe sounds way better, Steve sometimes puts me off with his songs like, the song The Riddle....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
you say that he was his master but as far as technique, Vai has Satriani beat, and when they were young and Satch was teaching him he admitted that Vai was only a little bit behind him despite being around 4 years younger.
In his own way Satch is still a master tho, its just that his improv bore me a little sometimes.
As far as Pedals go tho, i would say Satriani is THE man, his whammy pedal on Cool number 9 is unreal.

If Vai would play a dual against Vai, Vai would rip him to pieces purely on technique. I prefer Satch's music but his music isn't getting any better I must say. Surfing and flying are way better than all the others.

You said Vai twice, and ever heard of G3? Satch could surely hold his own technique wise, but the music would sound like shit (Vai) but look good. Satch can show off and make it sound good at the same time. This song isn't no easy breeze, let's see you play it.

Satch I mean of course. Sorry about that. I didn't say this was an easy song to play and Satch has a good technique but Vai is far more advanced in speed, appergios, sweep picking, etcetera. I already said I prefer Satch. I'm not a speedfreak. Jimi Hendrix is my all time favourite and he wasn't about speed either. Yes I've been to a G3 show, saw Satch twice in Amsterdam. and saw Vai three times, twice with the Metropole Orchestra. I can't do what Satch does but I certainly can't do what Vai does

Vai is technically good but he do to much acrobatic stuffs, thats why his music sounds sometimes strange. Satriani can do it too but he know when he should it to do watch "cool 9" "mystical potato" "crushing day"

You don't have to tell me anything about Satch because I have all his CD's, LP's and DVD's. Vai is technically better and that's all I want to say about that. I still prefer Satch's music and playing.

Thats your opinion and i respect it but i am of the opinion that Satriani have more experience in guitar playing and both are good guitarists but Vai is definitely not better than Satriani. Both plays stakkatos, Legatos, tappings and Sweeps...with the difference that Satriani know when he should it to use. To end, please dont forget that Satriani was Vais teacher.

As I respect your opinion as well. The fact that he taught Vai, doesn't mean he can't become 'better' than his teacher. He is also a bit older which gave him more experience. As I play the guitar myself, I have been looking very closely at their technique for many many years and I just feel I'm right but it is almost impossible to prove my point but I am absolutely convinced of it. It's absolutely not important because it is about music and not about speed and technique.

Steve may have better technique than Joe, but between them both I belive Joe sounds way better, Steve sometimes puts me off with his songs like, the song The Riddle....

This comment has received too many negative votes show
you say that he was his master but as far as technique, Vai has Satriani beat, and when they were young and Satch was teaching him he admitted that Vai was only a little bit behind him despite being around 4 years younger.
In his own way Satch is still a master tho, its just that his improv bore me a little sometimes.
As far as Pedals go tho, i would say Satriani is THE man, his whammy pedal on Cool number 9 is unreal.

maybe he sounds like vai because he was his master;)

I think the two are totally different. Satch is more expressive in his progressions and Vai is more technical. Both amazing musicians nonetheless.
