Joe Satriani- Crystal Planet Live in SF

[SokSa]

I love how he plays with the part after @4:25 with all those little things here and there but still keeps the "feel" there. what a cool cat.

[stefanandreas]

Really cool song from Joe. Look at the drummer - he has the groove! He's a cool player!!

[MrDoggerDog]

Stu Hamm is the biggest nerd

[kristofor12345]

Like Hendrix on ACID. Oh wait...

[YoelfromNL]

@PietroRumenta I have to side with you on Satriani's tone, it's not to my taste as well, but don't blame the Dimarzio's.. Only a small part of a chain. Also, all the players you mentioned with a 'real' tone use single coils and they don't often decide to endorse Diamrzio but that's more of a humbuckers - single coils debate, I would say..I did like sSatriani's tone on this specific album, though

[capecodnut]

1.146 MILLION HITS???? Eddie doesn't even get this.....I love you, Satch....always. AMAZING.

[PietroRumenta]

This is one of the best guitar players ever with one of the worst sound ever. Such a pity.

Being very very good ad playing, unluckily, barely means being very good at choosing a beautiful sound.

[capecodnut]

@PietroRumenta Do your RESEARCH. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm sorry, but Satch is THE BEST ON THE PLANET. Do your research and THEN comment. Peace.

[PietroRumenta]

@capecodnut When someone uses DiMarzio pickups, it means for the 80% of the times that they have horrible sound as those pickups sound like plastic: they're cold, undynamic, static, plate, only a lot of output but no dimension at all, and I could go on and on.

Just think of Steve Vai, Steve Morse and many others who have decided to ruin their beautiful stuff with terrible sounds. Then think of Blackmore, Jeff Beck, David Gilmour, Eric Clapton, Hendrix, so on, and their real warm bluesy sounds

[onibaku3]

@PietroRumenta hooooo interesting... but fuck it... i love this song period... xD

[MrDoggerDog]

@PietroRumenta Huh. I always thought the culprit of that "dry" sort of "airy" tone that he has was all Ibanez. Thanks for the info.

[amazingfantasy66]

Joe satriani is a legend in my books. Deserves way more respect than he gets. Best guitar song writer in my opinion. Such memorable riffs that you can rock out to.

[bluesinduluth]

Amazing..this guy is even better than I am....no seriously.

[kipponi]

Crystal planet he can make me feel like i'm there.

[kipponi]

Crystal planet he can make me feel like i'm there.

[BillArvanitis1]

Satriani Rocks........Hey guys...the DRUMMER AND BASS player are smoking too!!!!

Great job!!

[trante123]

I GIVE MY LIFE IF U DON'T FEEL ON ANOTHER PLANET WITH THIS SONG!!

[vladtepes1456]

56 dislikes!?? are you people fucking real!!? look at his skill and ability - jealous wankers.

[MrGuitarbecker]

una de mis preferidas del maestro Satriani !

[stefanpetrescu]

multumim ca existi maestre :x

[fyrehawkSix]

I wouldn't want to meet him in the crossroads!

[jfelipe994]

melodia divina

[TheTidvicious]

Give your guitar tech a raise, fire your barber... Joe is the man! \m/(>.<)\m/

[skatezombie83]

if i had a dime every time i hear his name on an eddy metal show....

[336kgf]

Take Satch, Rush, Kings X, and Living Colour, and you have the Four Horsemen of Underrated Awesomeness.

[ottoAmoultos]

@336kgf You are so wright. There are people out there saying that Keith Richards is the best player. Are they deaf? This guy is a maestro.

[kamuiisthe7thseal]

Idolo!!  \m/

[CyValkarion]

I can't see why the people standing there aren't jamming out like crazy. Satch's music has some crazy awesome groove.

[thesk8rman765]

@CyValkarion They're probably dead from witnessing something so amazing. I'm pretty sure it's a typical side effect from seeing him live.

[plastinate1]

This song reminds me of Ratchet and Clank. I don't know why. Especially at 3:58

[pontuserickson89]

@ 0:40 - 5:20 TOTAL EARGASM

[uendicott]

This shit is very amazing...

soon i will fucking learn this fucking crystal planet.

[kracko277]

whats wrong with 56 people?

[reaperontherun716]

@kracko277 brain damage

[MultiAncafe]

awesome ...

[poromies47]

I wonder if there's a live version where he plays closer to the original ?

[xgoxdiexxx]

not that good

[loiyer]

@xgoxdiexxx If you dont find this good mate, then there aint nothin in life for you. Go jump off a building, it'd do us all a favour.

[007LoLMaster]

AMAZING !!

[BaneOfXistence4]

He played Crystal Planet during the Wormhole Tour. And it had the piano intro. It was like a dream come true hearing the beautiful, yet haunting notes of this song live and in person.

[rush2112mn]

this song jams.......album is great too.....

[MaestroDraven]

It misses something without the dual guitar harmonics. I love this entire DVD, but this song seems somehow deflated without the presence of the twin guitar. I know Eric was pulling double duty for this show, but I almost wish he got on the guitar instead to back Joe up.

[MartinAlvito1]

I love this song because it's Satch's musical rejoinder to the great shredding songs - Practice What You Preach, the front side of Rust in Peace, etc. This song boldly highlights Satch's strengths as a songwriter - on that dimension, he destroys the thrash classics. On the other hand, he fails to hang with the great thrash solos here.

[rocker4496]

Dont waste ur 40 seconds .. coz really part starts frm 0:41 - 5:31.... njoy :P

[deadpoolsax]

the riff is amazing but those pants are even better

[capecodnut]

@deadpoolsax  OMG!

[halfpipefreak]

4:00 to 5:00 sents the chills down my spine. PURE GUITAR MAGIC !!!

it's a wonder his guitar doesn't melt haha ... absolutely AWESOME !!!! :D

[gixmar]

if u love this music check WORK OF ART THE GREAT FALL

[AhmedDjo]

the riff is just too awesome

[Madamnesia]

immense

[wwesoo9]

he makes it look so easy

[jukuro9898]

FOR REAL!!! scientists have recently discovered a planet that is 3 times the size of earth and is made mosly of....DIAMOND!

[metalrossello]

Oh god! I've just listened the beginnin' and I'm sure I'm in love!

[TalkableMuffin]

Joe Satriani is good. End transmission.

[Cajunninja65]

I just wonder if Satch would have ever become so great if it were not for guitar effects...A lot of his masterpieces don't sound very good without a lot of reverb, tremolo, phaser, noise gate, etc...

[Israelsniped120]

@Cajunninja65 he is a great guitarist and alot of what he does is emotional playing. he would be as good of a guitarist today because he started off teaching after he learned to play. he didnt originally use alot of affect, but as ppl copied him he started using them for the most unique tone possible. theres a little history lesson from guitarist to guitarist man, keep rockin!

[JamesTiberiusKirk]

@Cajunninja65 oh but he is. hes also an absolutely great acoustic player. listen to andalusia for expample. in my opinion, mastering effects takes almost more practicing and musical knowledge as learning to play the instrument itself.

[kristofor12345]

Satriani has some of the best phrasing ever. For a guitarist to incessantly make so many great melodies of such variety for an entire song takes immense talent.

[retardomontobono]

daddy joe! 1 good fucking friend!

[derkcloud]

He looks like Voldemort

[Fedethedangerous95]

@derkcloud I always say it too! LOL

[legatotechniques]

excellent

[TomMorelloo]

GOOOOD!!!!! MAKE HIM INMORTAL!!!!!

[GalihVSGodzilla]

53 people doesn't understand what this video about!

[MrDeamon1]

I wish my amp had a satch switch on my vox ad50, I love his tone, but would only use it to emulate or screw around, anyone know if he uses overdrive or distortion? I can probably find out in less time it took me to type this

[510shredder]

@MrDeamon1 he has a sig distortion pedal that he uses in addition to a couple vintage ones. its a great pedal and i'd highly reccommend it, called the satchurator ;)

[terry2k6]

Notable!!!

[cyllocybin]

@sammo2826 your comment makes perfect sense. you should start a revolution and make a facebook campaign or something. it worked in the uk to get rage against the machine to christmas number one ahead of the xfactor winner lol so yeah put your poetry into motion my good sir!

[Kashmir70]

Space shuttles and motorcycles,

Classically trained and blues....

Joe Satriani.

All the thrust without ever running out of breath.

[mossberg451]

you know whats amazing i have never heard justin biebers music the less i know the better

[weedkilla73]

So enough of Joe Satriani and his fuckin' ear roasting cocaine fuelled musicality. Tell him to stick it up his poxy arse and we might all be able to get on with our fuckin' lives then

[b0njov1]

@weedkilla73 what the hell are you even talking about? why do we care about anything you have to say? all we care about is enjoying watching Joe play. and if you dont like him then quit your crying and go bitch to people who care.

[weedkilla73]

@b0njov1 It's ok mate mate, chill out im just using this site to wipe my arse. I,ve been into Satriani since 1991 so I know what he's about. You sound like my mum....

[cyllocybin]

@weedkilla73 you know whats funny, you + your comment = every joe fan laughing at you right now.

its ironic that music dubbed cocaine fuelled musicality could put a halt on anyones life. cocaine would make them rave up, and not only that if you dont like something then surely you just move onto something you do like, or are you just in denial that joe satriani is awesome. ladies and gents i think we have a closet satriani fan

[weedkilla73]

To add to my last comment, I get so sick of seeing these 'iconic' figures in life. The Joe Satriani's, Kings of Leon, the Brad Pitt's. The talented and famous, the Amy Winehouse's (now sadly rip) pervaiding our lives, my life in all ways every day. The message - talent = fame and money. No talent, less success and more suffering. And this trend runs through all areas of life and at present seems to be fixed and irreversable. It seems unfortunate though...but we all have our own opinions on it

[weedkilla73]

Yeah boys, that's right! Joe Satriani, lets all kiss his mother fuckin' arse! I reckon he gets his inspiration for his songs, not from the divine but from shaggin' his fuckin' wonderful missus. And while most of us live off shit. Oh the injustice! And he looks like a faggart in this video too! Give him 10 years in a prison cell, or 10 years working with the starving in Africa, you might make a man out of him then !!

[HelmutVillam]

@weedkilla73

And I guess you've done both of those things then, oh exalted one?

[ZLSeries]

New Genre: Satch Rock

[guitarr21]

for some reason this reminds me of bucketheads song called lotus island.. dont know why.. :S . Good song regardless.

[gabevt]

.............Eargasm..........­

[ZifirArt]

Satriani is the best fuck the rest...

[BaneOfXistence4]

When I went to the concert during his Black Swans tour, he finished a song and I left the room to go around a get a better look further up stage. The music had stopped for a while and as I was outside and I heard that same beautiful piano intro clearly as day through the walls. I knew what was about to come.

[rockhurstalum09]

BEST RIFF EVER

[Abruzzosoccorso]

Guitar,drums a<nd piano,faboulus!



[pdb606]

"Crystal Planet", "Surfing the Alien" - I get it. This amazing muso isn't from Earth at all. No one down here plays or writes like that. To coin an Australian phrase - 'The guy is just fucking brilliant'. Thanks for the musical pornography Joe.

[slashrishi]

@pdb606 -NO one?? Compare to Paul Gilbert's Fuzz Universe..he can easily play Sat's songs.. Although, no offense..JS is God Himself..

[soopa96]

Only Joe can pull of tight leather pants and shirts...

[jfelipe994]

o melhor que ja na tocou na terra se tiver melhor nao é desse planeta :D

[siliyemoodislam]

FUCK RAP AND BIEBER!

[MultiRaiha]

50 wankers appreciate watching stupid porn

[700kotchi]

@MultiRaiha And Steve Vai as well..Satriani is not of this earth so to speak....

[R4NDOMM4N247]

anyone who bad mouths Satriani must not realize that he taught Metallica's Kirk Hammet how to play

[700kotchi]

@R4NDOMM4N247 And Steve Vai as well..Joe is not of this earth ..so to speak....God said let there be guitars and then he said ....perhaps I should play one of these things. Jimi,Stevie,Eric and even the immortal Robert Johnson would sit in the front row and think what the fuck is this guy doing

[22son24]

I don't understand why his crowds are never energetic and full of passion...Is it for him to concentrate on his guitar playing?? They look like they never move :/

[22son24]

@22son24 well, aftewr the show ends, they applause, but still.

[Mayhem4metal]

50 people that disliked this video are deaf and curse god that they cant hear Joe's amazing music!

[Azulon12]

Stu hamm Rulessss

[themuffman45]

had to put on a sweater after this, that guitar sendin chills down my spine!!

[uendicott]

50 people who hate joe satch are deaf as fuck !!!!

[the3xtr3mist]

I have the g3 live in denver audio cd and that includes a live version of crystal planet which is the best one by far in my opinion.Everyone here should listen to it at least once because especially the last few minutes are epicly much better.

[rcmoot]

he is stringoid voodoo lightsaber man

[JayFunningham]

Listening to very single note in the last minute or so was like being riddled with a machine gun. Joe is disgustingly good.

[sysrq120]

Pure awesome

[Leon5Aguirre]

his music was with me in th U.S. .....me acompañó cuando estaba solo! por eso lo estimo a este cabrón de a madres! alla en el 'gabacho' USA.....hay un montón de pendejos que no les gusta el rock ...pinches paisanos..chinguen a su madre!!!!

[TechnxX]

How cultivated the audience is BANGNG THE SHIT OUTA THEM!

|,,,| -__- |,,,| ~snore~

[P3ngL1te]

It says Joe Satriani in the title! Not Random Bassist! T_T

[Powerbronko]

imagine charlie harper´s brother allan in bald an with a guitar !! XD

[libsstink100]

how does he get that tone on a strat? or atleast i think thats a strat,,what yr is that?

[Thompsongast]

@libsstink100

dude,... that´s an Ibanez, he has a few strats, but he barely shows them live. This is one of his own signature series (he only plays on those)

[joelagnel1]

credit to the drummer as well, awesomeness.

[joelagnel1]

Great music

[F3FisGoodforYou]

In another life I will be able to play like Satriani (when he was 16)....

[enos218]

I'll have to say Satch has got way more street cred than Vai,in a million yrs i could never see satch playing for the dollar with the likes of Roth or Whitesnake.No disrespect to Vai,just my opinion.

[lookslikeyouhadenuff]

@enos218 I think it was smart for Vai to play with other people, do you know how much he learned from Frank Zappa? Not many people would pass up that opportunity, besides you realize that Joe played with Deep Purple right? You know via has won more awards than Joe? Not exactly sure why but also Vai was nominated for a grammy for the Where the wild things are dvd he made which I just so happened to be in the crowd:) at the recording. Satch is the best but dont dismiss Vai hes a beast as well.

[enos218]

@lookslikeyouhadenuff I agree partly but, surely you must concede that playing for Roth or Whitesnake back in the day, was not the best way to get taken seriously as a musician?I bought Vai's ALS record i think it was his next project after leaving whitesnake,it was like listening to a different guitarist,if i could play like Vai there is no way i would be happy just playing rock pentatonic stuff,not even for the dollars.Just my opinion.BTW Satch and Vai are both cool ppl.

[lookslikeyouhadenuff]

@enos218 I think he did what he had to, I dont blame him for doing what he did but I know he didnt want to dol it. He told satch to avoid taking over someones place in a band if he can. Most great musicians I agree would much rather make music vs playing someone elses tunes.

[lookslikeyouhadenuff]

@enos218 ps yeah both of them are awesome Ive got to talk to them both for a moment, words cant describe how awesome it was even though I know they are mere mortals...well kinda.

[SLABVetteMan]

lol rockin the diabetus shoes at 1:41

[supertomate64]

PLEASE READ!

It's not a good idea to go to biebers video & click the dislike button cause every time we go to his video he gets payed a few cents cause his vid's sponsered. Instead we pick songs like this & get as many people as we can to watch so by the 1st of march on biebers birthday all rock videos will be most viewed on youtube charts.This will get the younger audience to listen to good music & might have good rock bands form again.PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE! THUMBS UP!

[jr995]

@supertomate64 I'm sick and tired of people talk about how Justin Bieber sucks in every video I watch. I DON'T FUCKING CARE, OK!?

I just want to listen to some real, good music and had enough of that Bieber shit! Shut up about him and let me enjoy this awesome music, played by Stariani, not Bieber. Thank you very much

Geez...

[boringsermonify]

@jr995 Why are you reading the comments instead of just enjoying the music? That's something Justin Bieber would probably do!

[jr995]

@boringsermonify Simple: I listen with my ears and write with my hands

[TERRANCIO]

@jr995 Yeah, Go STARIANI! -_-

[jr995]

@TERRANCIO Do you want a medal for noticing that typo? Sorry if it [peter_griffin] grinds your gears [/peter_griffin]

[ceescake]

@jr995 well your listening to satch, if thats not good music i dont know what the hell is

[rockhurstalum09]

@jr995 agreed

[p0wnftw]

@jr995 finally some1 with brains thank god for sending you to youtube

[whatstillremains]

@jr995 i agree but ur kinda adding to it

[DreadCrawler]

@jr995 but........justin really sucks and i think he is highly overrated

[klippklar314]

@jr995 Why not just enjoying the music and ignoring the comments?

[avirajmalmsteen]

i love the tear by the bends in the middle of the composition...........guess its d minor!!!

[FireFingers93]

49 person dont know that the real music exists!!!

[TheChandraadi]

@FireFingers93 yeaa they prefer #JB :(

[danybrocoli]

[osllo28]

[Fraeg]

[MaidenDio252]

@TheDude83161 I'm 18 and I love this kind of music.

[FlavioPiero]

47 People are from a planet that cannot comprehend good compositions.

[Kashmir70]

@FlavioPiero I've been a huge fan for 25 yrs. This man is a guitar god...a genius. Zeppelin, Satch and an ipod -- my three favorite things.

[FlavioPiero]

@Kashmir70 you can understand a good composition. =) Both here with Joe and through Led Zep. By filling out these requirements you could consider yourself with a Visa to Crystal Planet.

[dvd2107]

youtube.com/watch?v=MNFYHCq4a-­U

This year's show... the man is a freakin genius!

[VladimirSex1]

this man is not from this planet,the sound that begin at 1.23 proves it

[hellraiser7974]

joe rules!!!

[xtraemeat]

Q maquina es el Satriani!

[Bambadda]

This so kicks ass.. those 47 people who think that music with out voice are nuts. Its about the guitar not the voice that makes so good.

[336kgf]

I don't know why I watch Satch live DVD clips when I already have the DVDs. I must never want to miss the experience.

[ruiaqf]

47 people think music without voice is boring.

[mikipilum]

Wonderfull song !

Fantastic !

Epic !

[eikik1]

SOOOOO tired of bad dislike jokes, thumb up if you agree

[snk07]

@eikik1 SOOOOOO tired of people who ask for thumbs up.
