1987? isn't this the bt of the power cosmic 2000 pt 1 from Engines Of Creation (2000)??

Hi there,

This is the original riff that he invented in 1987, he then, in 2000, mixed it (rather brilliantly) with a solo to create the Power Cosmic pt. 1

holy shit, im in love. this song is fucking intense to listen to while your stoned. when i was listening to this i closed my eyes and i saw meteorites made of rainbow flying at me from everywhere and it was so heavenly to enjoy

Satch is an alien.

I can just imagine Galactus giving Noran Rad the power cosmic and becoming The Silver Surfer Herald of Galactus! Devourer of Worlds!

@dioeleclaire awesome I have the same space when I listen to this xD I exactly think of the same when I'm stoned I was in outer space I saw meteorites wormholes black holes all those weird stuff and I was riding on them I'm trying to learn this song but this song is so difficult to learn >.<

@eniakk I still have that flexi disc! It went into "The Crush of Love". I used to tie a handkerchief around the 2nd fret too. I learned it but needed more practice to get it up to speed. I remember in a later interview a few years after this came out that he (Satriani) was bummed because he couldn't play it as well...it was giving him trouble because he never practiced it anymore. It's a tough one at first.

@Masterexplodr95

Actually, IIRC he said in Guitar Player (this was the first track off a flexi on an '86 issue) that he tied a scarf around the neck, but I guess he might do it differently if he ever played/plays it live.
