Deep Purple with Joe Satriani - Perfect Strangers - Italy 1994

[bleedingheart292]

blackmore left because he was a control freak and the rest of the band didn't like it

[cuninglinguist]

Joe did them a huge favor . At the time Ritchie bailed there were contracts signed that had them going to Japan .Could have been sued and gotten real ugly . The Japanese promoter agreed to keep the bookings if they could come up with a guitar player with star power .

wow, that's great

@Shredmaster. I totally agree with that comment on Blackmore and the stupid hats and lame music.

[shredmaster100]

yeah blackmores gone crazy i do like folk and classical music but not when rock guitarists do it its just not right blackmore could have done much greater things like when dio was alive he could have formed a new band with him and cozy powell so its a shame that now dios gone blackmores talent is being wasted i compare blackmore to a wrestler lets say for example the rock he should stick 2 what hes best at wrestling not acting same goes 4 blackmore he should rock again

Satriani is not the guy for Purple.



[Perpetualmusik]

Satriani is not the guy for Deep Purple period ! To much chord floating on the tremelo, and the bridge sounds like a mistake. Leading into the 2nd verse is a bit off to. But I love Satch, just wrong guy, wrong band.

[shredmaster100]

i wish blackmore was back in purple i mean morse is a great guitarist but he doesnt have the stage presence blackmore has just a shame blackmores gone mad and thinks hes in the 1600,s

[shredmaster100]

why did satriani leave purple he is a much better player than morse but i dont know if he had of stayed in deep purple he may have ended up like morse just becoming background furniture so its probably a good thing he left and is he wearing a wig in this video because i thought he was always bald

[Purplesnake41]

@shredmaster100 he is not. Joe used to have long hair!

[shredmaster100]

oh thought he was always bald but did look his old videos up and he had long hair but he is more recognisable bald

[valgez1]

@shredmaster100 Satriani had no reason to stay with Deep Purple. He's got independent musical thinking, writes progressive stuff, he's in a different style. Besides, he's a start himself, Deep Purple is not for him. He has other things to do rather than playing some others' stuff written tens of year ago. :-)))

[shredmaster100]

yeah i think youre right and imagine what would have happened if joe had stayed in deep purple hed have ended up like steve morse playing the same songs for nearly 20 years in my opinion morses solo career is finished and has been 4 a long time now just another example of a great guitarists talent going to waste he could have been a lot better than he is if hed have done what joe did and go his own way because deep purple is finished 2day in my opinion when blackmore left that was it

4:28 everyone doing the satch dance

Beautiful... You can tell the band, Gillian, are ALL feeling it.

No Blackmore distractions. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Ritchie but at times he was just bad blood for the bands overall health.

Thank you for posting Stargazer!

Joe would have been awesome with Deep Purple but wanted his solo career.
