[Valmar18]

Joe Satriani's Hair exploded, cause they couldn't stand his rock n' roll.

[Alejoo9826]

4 people was kidnapped by allien...

[thebestcaveman]

@mecalek Its to hide his glowing inhuman eyes

[Lil19Man]

if joe was playing the piano then at 6:00 it sounds like something that would happen in church

[mecalek]

why does he always wear glasses



[blasbembi]

@mecalek go watching joe satriani lesson, that because he does it!

[bigfish0886]

@mecalek You ever play in a band? Stage lights arent exactly dim ya know...

[revatman]

Stuart Hamm fucking rules on bass.

[CosmicSea07]

@revatman  I wonder if he's related to shannon hamm from the control denied and death line-up's?

[pd07048patrick]

@revatman one of the absolute best I have EVER heard. Even underrated if you ask me.

[BaneOfXistence4]

Crowd Chant in it's premature form. lol

[ChuckieInMT]

[damnhot]

Lame ass fans wtf ...........

[TommittajaFIN]

[kujiko88]

[vi70h]

[TheBigB01]

@vi70h SAME!

[NickSayers]

The Bass Guitarist is Stu.. they STUU him, not booo him..

[neanderthal117]

when does Joe get the Stadium gig? seriously theatre venue fans suck.....no cheering at all......

[leonidas456123]

He's the Alien!!!!! He's too good to be human !!!! XD

[137Supra]

who is the asshole that disliked this?

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@137Supra Some bitches, probably...who have a certain dislike toward Satriani because they can't comprehend greatness of this man/alien/cancer/thingy.

[D35J4RD1N5]

I think it should be known by everyone that Joe Satriani is literally the Silver Surfer and plays guitar using his cosmic powers.

[tokigifoten]

sure J McLoughlin works for me. hes made alot of good stuff. preferably with Mahavishnu.

also some w Santana.

but no one makes so many great songs as Joe.hes jugg will never empty i think.

thank u Joe for so many years of great music. i bow to the master.

[shoez290]

lol satch can blow like half the bands off the stage with his speaker on standby. He's so incredible and he's probably very under rated for starting out playin and not being able to solo acts cause at that point it was being dominated by people like jeff beck. Not mention students like kirk hammet and steve vai were making a name more so than him at the time.

[faustoj26a]

i love satch guitar its so amazing.....someday i gonna buy it

[yamil506]

la verdad q joe es uno de los mais grandes y me gusta mucho todas sus canciones yo tb toco la guitarra algun dia megustaria tocar con el bueno concidero q tengo en nivel necesario bueno misa atribucioness eran malsstenn y vai pero ya pase a otro nivel

[zzzzzzzz594]

Scuse me but he is a top guitar player an yet, at the first 3 minutes I began to feel tired. I don´t think to stand a whole concert.

[enrykletto]

..el es el mas grande!!!

[SGMC13]

what retard thumbs down'd every1 -_-

[toad33332]

@SGMC13 lool

[H3Vtux]

My top 5 would be

Joe Satriani

Shawn Lane

Eric Johnson

The guitarists from Iron Maiden

Stevie Ray Vaughn

[We2OwnAll]

Lol your top 5... but you don't even kno who is the guitarist from Maiden you freakin' poser. Btw your missing Steve Vai on your list. ha

[H3Vtux]

Theyre are 2 guitarists from iron maiden that get about the equal play time, saying that is quicker than Dave Murray and Adrian smith. I apologize for making your life so difficult. And This is a personal list so why would steve Vai be on it i dont like him much at all. And why the fuck am i a poser? I dont listen to 15 year olds whos balls havent dropped yet arent you a little young to be on the internet? cry me a river pussy.

[THEREALD3AL]

Needs more Buckethead.

[H3Vtux]

i do like buckethead, but he's not in my top 5, he would probably be 8 or 7.

[Inginitto]

i love that guitar:) it has been played so much on so that all the finish are gone

[shoez290]

well eddy and petrucci are beast but idk whos better its all taste i mean, i was just reading that joe satrini gave some lesson to steve vai and kerk hammet so i guess that up for you to decide whos better i mean if you ask cold maybe they;ll side with joe satriani when they stop stealing from him lol

[thescoutabout]

shoez290 you cannot compare Van Halen to Petrucci or Satriani

[darthtuq]

because they are much better

[shoez290]

joe satriani, petrucci, eddy vanhalen all had somethin in common. music genius's. to clear something up, i'd like to say that if anyone has any doubts bout herman li forget it. seen them twice live and met all the members twice. Getting to the point herman li is so not conceded to be able write stuff like them you have to wake up and be as dedicated as joe satriani. definitely an elite player

[CaptainFalcon150]

Such an awesome song! but its funny I would call it ironic but my friend listens to this when He plays Halo on Live its like his theme to massacrer by.....any way back to the song Its just great from start to finish this is one of those songs that cannot be covered perfectly. Its just so awe inspiring.

[SUSAltd]

Joe Satriani has got to be the only bald guitarist I know.

[sexyduck69]

kerry king

[donfreszito2vario]

[bcstalpha007]

Dragonforce's are totaly lame. The cannot play their own songs. Thousands of mistakes in live. I know, its too fast style and maybe its impossible to play it. But as you know, there are a lot of better guitarists. Maybe they are too good to play Dragonforce's songs better. Btw.: Satriani is the king :)

[rolz420]

dragonforce...wow!!

you don't know their names but you consider them to be top 5. (Herman Li, Sam Totman)

[airsoftguitardrum900]

the bassist is fat and ginger lols

[AntiTwilightGuild]

[ironledtallicafloyd9]

he may be fat and ginger but he kicks major ass at bass

[DeadmanJeff1993]

[NobGoblin1]

[thomas834]

One might say they are staying put in there places and keeping their mouth shut to hear the music better... I one for one think they should be on there fuckin feets jumping and bumping around into eachother and banging head so hard!!!

He's THE greatest, give him some credit people!!!!! :D

[davidmcgold]

every concert ive seen with americans, they've been dull audiences..

[ReneeNme]

@DeadmanJeff1993 Sadly this is about as loud as crowds get in theatre venue. The wussies. lol

[BonamassaVaughan]

Yeah man

that´s exactley what I think!!

SATCH ROCKS!!!

[CCTSPORTES]

I never knew SPOK played guitar lol jkes

[heavyholic1]

After 2:00 it seems like the drummer speeds the song up, and it seems like joe got stressed, not the best live versions :P

[weirdo3oo]

SWEET

[Chyge]

I think that this recording is the best version of the song that's ever made. Godlike soloing \../

[stasgard]

Man, the people that actually get to see Satriani are lame... i would be losing it if i was at this gig!

[vi70h]

@stasgard i have thought this soo many times watching his vids good call!

[c1k4ml3kc3]

@stasgard Well, it's San Francisco. What did you expect? XD

[video91101]

hell yeah!

[andrux12]

[chongwong]

i bet he sold his hair to the devil to be that good..... in his early days i reckon he wore a wig to fit in.

[JavieronRock]

I am agree with you about his hair jajaja xD

[BlackmoreGuitar12]

Gran Tema !!!!

El mejor Satch

[rutter23]

[Hammetallica92]

[Dollars8319]

Why did Hamm get boooed? lol

[Maxables]

Stuuuuuuuuu!!

[prakashrajgopal]

What a performance!! Just the way he begins the song with that tremolo squeal gives goosebumps!

Although, there is a very very minor time lag between audio and video. Could anybody please upload the corrected one?

[satrianifreak5]

he doesnt use effescts he is really good!!!!!! awsome joe!!!!!

[fallenangelsk8r]

actually he does use effects lol

[art7s77]

pause at 2:25 you can see all the effeects he uses

[dcstarrnaj]

does he use some kind of effects

[art7s77]

disortion

[chongwong]

every one does, i think he uses some overdriven distortion and maybe a scream pedal of some sort. Coz i can get a similar sound by using them

[pepectm]

HELL NO, he uses a Wah-wah pedal, and the amp distortion.

[Hammetallica92]

he so fucking awesome !! i want his guitar

[AcronymHater]

Fuck that, I want his talent. I'll buy my own guitar :p

[andrejoaosf]

HE IS THE BEST EVER!!

[JS1200RULES]

WOW, AWESOME ROCKING JOE!!!!!

[edialfaro]

[JP1rocks]

I love how he sings with his guitar. I've always believe he was one of the best. Not many like him.

[ZacksHungry]

[soulfullsolos]

[1HOLYDIVER1]

[1HOLYDIVER1]
