@@adriantrusca1245actually people do care. Over 100k views just on this video alone. You’re just being a negative little twat. Now THATS worth not caring about haha only enough to point it out ;)
Greg Bisonette on drums. The album has a solid tone. Satch so kool as ever. Perfect example of things should be easy to learn and are hard to master. Thanks Joe 🙏 "practice makes perfect" 🙏✌️🤘🎸🥁🏴🇦🇺
Knew he looked familiar! And Satch good as he was then I could not have imagined how far he would go. Still I wonder where Vai would be today without his obvious influence
Not just that but even experimental electronic artist as well as extreme metal bands like Death Deicide Kreator and Sepultura were featured on both cable and local public access television playing on big mainstream TV studios at the time. Times were definitely at their peak in the 80s and 90s.
@@ballaking1000 absolutely a valid take. They are all so good at that point that it ends up being a preference thing. Like I don't actually think Satriani is the best player to ever live, he's just the player I can relate to and get the most out of. I don't try to sound like him or anything, but I base my approach to lead guitar on how I perceive his playing. With a heavy emphasis on striking a balance between melodic expressive type playing that fits with the song and fast shredding. And of course the emphasis on dynamics too. I absolutely love Steve Vai too, and yeah Hendrix is amazing. He played so differently than everyone else at the time and still to this day nobody has really been able to copy it very well. So many ppl talk about his lead guitar playing but his chords and rhythm guitar playing is equally amazing if not more so. Hendrix will always be in his own category of awesome.
I swear that Joe just looks at his guitar and it plays for him! Been a fan since 1985. Yes, I am that old. Joe, you are the best guitarist I have even seen in my life. Have a great day, Sir! o7
In the same club. My brother was at Berklee in the mid 80s and turned me on to Joe when Flying in a Blue Dream came out. Now I'm the old dude riding downtown with the windows down cranking this crazy guitar music.
Guitarists take note. JS did not become famous and open the door for solo guitarists by shredding. He is a bit of a shredder. But his success came through playing melody driven solos, much like Eric Johnson. Seems everyone is shredding these days and putting melodies on the back burner. Then you are just one more shredder in the large bin of shredders.
Correct. I first became aware of him when he toured Australia with Mick Jagger’s solo band a couple of years before this tv appearance. He fit right into that band, didn’t try to turn it into van Halen.
Dude, this is from 1993. The finger tapping during Satch boogie is E.V.H. learning. His Summer Song for Sony commercial put him up into status. The fact that everyone knows who he helped teach is a plus. His ability is King.
Absolutely. We are at peak level of awesome players right now, but none of them are making compelling ORIGINAL MUSIC. Very few exceptions-you got Ola, Lari Basilio, Sophie Burrell….not much else. The rest of these guys are either someone’s sideman, or they’re purely just UA-cam/Instagram show-offs
The Extremist was an amazing full-length follow up to Flying and Surfing. The album was released in the summer but it felt like Christmas! Seeing him in those Sony Walkman commercials was super cool. It was an exciting time - that early era always had something fresh and innovative sounding in each song.
@@chrisluckhardt couldn't get into any of it. Felt let down after Time Machine. It seemed like a commercial record. My faith was 100 percent restored with his next record and Crystal Planet completely blew me away
@@cygnustsp Oh wait, you're confusing The Extremist with his 1995 self-titled album. The release sequence was The Extremist (1992), Time Machine (1993), Joe Satriani (1995), and Crystal Planet (1998). The 1995 album was a huge letdown for me too after Time Machine, but Crystal Planet was amazing and a welcomed return to form! Edit: I'm listening to Time Machine as I write this. Lydian mode for days!
I remember buying The Extremist on cassette at Sam Goody's, which happened to be my last cassette before getting a CD player. Time Machine the very next year was a my first double CD album. Joe's been there for a lot of firsts and lasts.
To all you youngaters and those that have been around but just found Joe Satriani, This is the pinnacle. He is a legendary composer and a wizard on guitar. They nicknamed him "Smoke".
He's great but I've seen some of these youngsters who could smoke him technique wise. It depends on what you mean by pinnacle. If you're referring to wizardry, he was surpassed by many years ago.
@@tacoconch7678 clueless robots that are technically skilled. Noone will ever blow away a master such as Satriani. The pinnacle is great composition along with the ability to play what youve composed.
@@tacoconch7678 Also no player has or ever will surpass him. No great instrumentals have been written by your so called smokin young players. Plus few of the 40 and under generations even know he exists. And they wont ever write or create 10% of the great cpmpositions he has written. Just a generation of non creative plagerists.
❤ Джо, по тебе и не скажешь, что ты болен. Ты настоящий и при этом Великий артист! И ты это наглядно продемонстрировал. Мне вспомнился концерт твоего старинного друга - Стива Ваи - осенью 2013 в Омске (Россия, Сибирь), когда у него была температура 38°С. Выступление было под вопросом.. Но в итоге концерт состоялся и длился один час пятьдесят минут. Вы, ребята, из алмаза, я полагаю. Браво, Джо! И браво, Стив (я на концерте постеснялся ему это крикнуть😊).
@@Crazytownmetal6 You know it! That's what turned me onto Satch back when it was first released. Still on my personal top 10 favorite songs of all time. Still listen to it regularly.
Time went by in a blink of an eye we have gotten old my friend, I saw Joe and Steve about a month ago at Beacon NYC where I had seen him before for the first time exactly 30 years ago, only now my son is older than what I was back then.
First Satch song I ever learned… by ear too. 🤘🏼 Newer fans don’t understand that since he wears shades on stage all the time these days, he’s playing mostly with his eyes closed. 😮 I noticed that when I saw him tour on The Extremist. 🤘🏼
A perfect work! What a wonderful theme! We felt that we could musicalize the happiest and most radical moments in life! This intensity and joy is Satriane! Long life!
Joes been giving me goosebumps and a smile, a giggle and a tear since an old aquantence named Mitch turned me on to him in the late 80's. Thanks Satch!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was introduced to Satch by mt fellow submariner with the Flying In A Blue Dream album - I was mesmerized by The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing. He remains my favorite artist ever since
tv audio yes, but on a show that had a huge musical profile and the staff to care for it. Satch having the flu is what breaks me just watching this - when I had flu, I would not want to be anywhere loud, let alone near a Bissonette or two!
Oh wow, what a treat. Thanks heaps to the folks behind Joe's channel for bringing some of this stuff back in surprisingly good quality. There's a real dearth of live video recordings of Satriani pre-1996 and so it's so special for long term fans like myself to see him during these earlier eras!
I bought the Extremist cassette after watching the Summer Song Sony commercial when I was 13. Changed my life!! Still think this is his best album easy. Crystal Planet #2
Extremist is certainly way up there on the list, but my favorite Satch song comes from his Surfing With the Alien album - nothing tops Crushing Day for me!
NBC was on a Satriani kick around this time. I remember the credits after the closing ceremony of the Albertville 1992 Olympics featured the entirety of "Flying in a Blue Dream".
Guy was sick with the flu and he still sounded better than the album playing live. Incredible. :D Edit: Guys, it says he was sick IN THE DESCRIPTION. xD
Wow…..you’re easily please. I’ve worked on building sites in frost with flu. I’m sure many folk have done harder things than playing guitar with flu. You total dogsdick🤡🤛🏻
He gave me a wave during his concert at the Playhouse in Edinburgh on the Extremist tour in Feb 91, greatest moment of my life. I was training to drive trucks at the time but gave that up the day after, still unemployed 32 years later and the only thing I have on my CV is I can tap Midnight :0))))) I love life! O))))))) Go yersel Joe!!!
So Freaking Amazing!!! Saw you for the first time in Adelaide Australia when I was 16. Flew interstate to see you and then flew back the following year and didn’t meet and greet. 34 now and you’re still a hero to me! Love watching these old clips ❤
Oh yes, the good ole "hair shred" days. Is it sad that I'm old enough to remember watching this live on the tube? Damn good renditions of Friends and Satch Boogie
I remember that night so clearly! I had just bought my first guitar and was just starting to learn how to play and this came on the tv. Talk about inspiring. I went out the very next day to buy that album and had that on repeat for weeks!
Just amazing. My first live performance of Satch was in october 2001 at Luna Park in Buenos Aires... i still remember and I still cry... he open the concert with Flying in a blue dream. He's silver guitar shinning on stadium...
So sad that I have gone so long without awareness of Joe. Living on Hawaii and out in the jungle, outside exposure was minimal, if at all. But I am glad a radio DJ on the Big I included Surfing with an Alien on his 6-String Slingers show cuz I needed a new Guitar God before I cross over. Amazing. Keep it up, Joe!
There are guitarists, musicians and then there is Satch. Many players of today owe a lot to him. Kirk Hammett for one. He doesnt emulate or imitate anyone. He became what he is by being music. He is an artist and there will never be another like him. Everytime album and every concept ive been to, he never ceases to amaze me
I seen Joe in I think 95 at the American theater in St. Louis, it was when he shaved his head, oh my God amazing,Stu Hamm on Bass, best musical performance I've seen and I've seen many, you're the man Joe
I was a pretty good player when I was young. I still am a pretty good guitarist, but I have a silly problem that I was never able to overcome....When I'm really jamming my ass off and having fun, I can't control my laughter and I screw up. I am having so much fun that I honestly can't control my laughter. I lost studio gigs because of it. A producer once told me to think about sad things like a dog dying because he knew my talent...Nothing worked. I know this sounds crazy but it's the truth. I could have made a good living doing what I love, I just couldn't control my happiness when I was playing. Some of you reading this understand the joy of being in the groove musically and how good it feels. It feels great! It just made me TOO happy. In the middle of a piece I could hear everyone else in the band doing their part perfectly and inside my head I was telling myself "Don't screw up, don't start laughing". I would usually lose it right after a solo and start laughing uncontrollably. It became obvious that I couldn't make a living with music. After 3 years of playing professionally nobody wanted me around anymore. I can't blame them. I see videos of bad musicians slamming nonsense out of their guitars with angry looks on their faces. That's not me. Two of my siblings suffer from the same affliction. When my brother and sister and I really go at it musically, one of us is bound to lose our cool and we have to end the song with a crescendo of laughter. I'm the youngest at 60 years old and we still play hard-driving rock (at least until the laughter starts). The texture of the music that we are playing hits us ......."damn, this is good"....Then we start smiling, then we throw some crazy riffs in, next thing you know we can't catch our breath because it's a great jam and we start laughing our asses off! We need Dr. Phil. We are too happy.
It’s because you idolize and compare yourself to people on screen too much. Try doing it for yourself. I had a mate with that problem and it was related to him comparing himself to people on tv
Thanks for coming to La Vista, Nebraska recently Joe!! it was a great show, you haven’t lost any of the magic, and I was enthralled the entire time! We were glad to have you! Please come back! As for this flashback, it was great fun! Thanks for posting this.
I don't know about you, but for me Joe is in the fridge, under the rug, in the microwave, on the TV stand, in the pantry, in the basement, in the attic, in the garage, in the car, on the terrace, in front of the house, on the street, in your pants pockets, in your desk, in your bathroom, in your bedroom, in your head and in your heart... Happy birthday Joe.
Satch breaking out an early JS with non-floating bridge for Friends. No pinch harmonic dive bombs, so no whammy needed :D Killer sound in the tonight show studio. Great performance of "Scratch" Boogie. Greg Bisonette killing it as always. Wonderful video. Would love to see more instrumental music on network television these days.
Just saw him on the Satch/Vai tour and he does not skip a single notes. Satch is and forever will be my favorite guitarist. Dude is the definition of cool.
Mannn as beautiful as this performance was by Mr. Satch himself.....that outro song by Kevin Eubanks and band gives me goosebumps. What a beautiful composition that is too...ufffff what a dose of nostalgia.
Comecei a ficar encantado pelo som da guitarra por causa do "The Extremist". Depois desse album, comecei a ouvir mais guitarristas ao invés de bandas tradicionais !! obrigado Joe !! Congratulations from Brasil !!
This groove reminds me of the song “Open Your Eyes” by Alter Bridge, and Mark Tremonti absolutely slayed that sound with some yummy riffs! I like this song as well. Heard OF satriani, but never heard him. Glad I clicked.
I saw him when he was first breaking ('85?) in Austin. Stood up there in ragged blue jeans, a T-shirt, and hightops and tore the house down. Made it all look effortless. All the local guitar heroes left afterwards wth their tails between their legs. (well, except Eric Johnson and SRV!) What a monster....
The coolest man on the earth, he demonstrate the ability to make a simple music that stays in minds ! Joe satriani is the best way to be an adult musician :)
I never got to see this until UA-cam was available as Australia was kind of behind with the Late Night Shows.....But I remember buying the CD and once again Joe changed my life.....Cryin mesmerized me....just could not stop listening to the tone of the melody guitar....the whole song and arrangement of course is stellar!!
I first saw and met him in sydney. Enmore theatre. 21 feb 1990. My wife walked down the isle to always with me always with you 1997. Yes he changed my life. A true gentleman.
6:09 That whammy bar hit with the fist is awesome. I remember this from back in the day. I totally forgot about those big paper CD sleeves also. They later got replaced with clear plastic ones and then were totally removed to allow more space on store shelves.
My Uncle rest his soul 🙏, introduced me to Satriani at the age of 6. I was like, “Where’s the singing??”…. And his response was, “What do you mean? You can’t hear him singing with that guitar??” 😂 My life was forever changed. Satch is the man 💪
Oh tje good times of first learning all these sings on guitar for me was amazing, i had such good memories of sunlit nights bottle of wine and my headphones and a backing track , thanks joe, for giving us all memories we can never forget
recuerdo que como a mi me gusta el instrumental en guitarra electrica un amigo me decia tocas musica alegre jaja masomenos como satriani la verdad nunca habia oido a satriani, pero luego de estudiarle me encanta, yo realmente facinada con este increible y talentoso ser humano
i saw this video when i was a kid. and changed my life forever.Thanks for all Joe. you are inspiration all over the world. We love you.!!!

Don't forget Greggs brother Matt on bass. One of the finest musical sibling combos of all time.
Those marching band chops were solid
No. That's your mom on drums. She plays great satanic brutal death metal.
Knew he looked familiar! And Satch good as he was then I could not have imagined how far he would go. Still I wonder where Vai would be today without his obvious influence
Man I can’t imagine a world where instrumental guitar artists were featured on late night shows. It was a niche genre by the time I got to it

@@peadookie He clearly said INSTRUMENTAL. as in "no singer". try to keep up, or simply don't say anything, Einstein.
This is exactly why he's my favorite guitarist. Absolutely the king of note dynamics
I think Vai and Hendrix are microscopically better, IMO
@@ballaking1000 absolutely a valid take. They are all so good at that point that it ends up being a preference thing.

I don't try to sound like him or anything, but I base my approach to lead guitar on how I perceive his playing. With a heavy emphasis on striking a balance between melodic expressive type playing that fits with the song and fast shredding. And of course the emphasis on dynamics too.

I saw Joe 4 times live. He is absolutely amazing!! He plays with such feeling. He doesnt just shred ,he shreds with feeling.

Greetings from KWWL country in eastern Iowa. Keep kicking butt and taking name Joe!!!!
I bought the Extremist cassette after watching the Summer Song Sony commercial when I was 13. Changed my life!!
Still think this is his best album easy. Crystal Planet #2
I too bought it back in '92 as an 18 y/o, and listened the shit out of it with my new girlfriend. 32 years later shes the old lady.
I too think Extremist is his best.
Titles like that might get you on a watch list these days.
I agree.the song why is the best track for me,simple 3 chords progression but sound magnificent and yeah..id ranked this album as no 1,planet no 2.
Extremist is certainly way up there on the list, but my favorite Satch song comes from his Surfing With the Alien album - nothing tops Crushing Day for me!
Your music is extremely powerful so that it does not need a single word as a lyric. The scales and notes you choose speak out very well ❤

Edit: Guys, it says he was sick IN THE DESCRIPTION. xD
Even if true, I totally understand why he played sick.

He was playing a guitar not running a marathon

Joe's best album. The catchiest of lead melodies. He let his legato really go sick. 🎸

you forget how many mullets were still around in 92 :)
So sad that I have gone so long without awareness of Joe. Living on Hawaii and out in the jungle, outside exposure was minimal, if at all. But I am glad a radio DJ on the Big I included Surfing with an Alien on his 6-String Slingers show cuz I needed a new Guitar God before I cross over. Amazing. Keep it up, Joe!
Yeah, but you had Marty Dread & his Wicked Wahine grooves.
There are guitarists, musicians and then there is Satch. Many players of today owe a lot to him. Kirk Hammett for one. He doesnt emulate or imitate anyone. He became what he is by being music. He is an artist and there will never be another like him. Everytime album and every concept ive been to, he never ceases to amaze me
I seen Joe in I think 95 at the American theater in St. Louis, it was when he shaved his head, oh my God amazing,Stu Hamm on Bass, best musical performance I've seen and I've seen many, you're the man Joe
I was a pretty good player when I was young. I still am a pretty good guitarist, but I have a silly problem that I was never able to overcome....When I'm really jamming my ass off and having fun, I can't control my laughter and I screw up. I am having so much fun that I honestly can't control my laughter. I lost studio gigs because of it. A producer once told me to think about sad things like a dog dying because he knew my talent...Nothing worked. I know this sounds crazy but it's the truth.
I could have made a good living doing what I love, I just couldn't control my happiness when I was playing. Some of you reading this understand the joy of being in the groove musically and how good it feels. It feels great! It just made me TOO happy. In the middle of a piece I could hear everyone else in the band doing their part perfectly and inside my head I was telling myself "Don't screw up, don't start laughing". I would usually lose it right after a solo and start laughing uncontrollably. It became obvious that I couldn't make a living with music. After 3 years of playing professionally nobody wanted me around anymore. I can't blame them.
I see videos of bad musicians slamming nonsense out of their guitars with angry looks on their faces. That's not me. Two of my siblings suffer from the same affliction. When my brother and sister and I really go at it musically, one of us is bound to lose our cool and we have to end the song with a crescendo of laughter. I'm the youngest at 60 years old and we still play hard-driving rock (at least until the laughter starts). The texture of the music that we are playing hits us ......."damn, this is good"....Then we start smiling, then we throw some crazy riffs in, next thing you know we can't catch our breath because it's a great jam and we start laughing our asses off!
We need Dr. Phil. We are too happy.
It’s because you idolize and compare yourself to people on screen too much. Try doing it for yourself. I had a mate with that problem and it was related to him comparing himself to people on tv
I have a similar but different problem, I go out of body on the music and momentarily forget I am the one playing it.
@@Knutz4U Does it make you lose track of where you are musically?
Thanks for coming to La Vista, Nebraska recently Joe!! it was a great show, you haven’t lost any of the magic, and I was enthralled the entire time! We were glad to have you! Please come back!
As for this flashback, it was great fun! Thanks for posting this.
Man, Gregg Bissonette is just the best. Always has been.
I don't know about you, but for me Joe is in the fridge, under the rug, in the microwave, on the TV stand, in the pantry, in the basement, in the attic, in the garage, in the car, on the terrace, in front of the house, on the street, in your pants pockets, in your desk, in your bathroom, in your bedroom, in your head and in your heart... Happy birthday Joe.
Satch breaking out an early JS with non-floating bridge for Friends. No pinch harmonic dive bombs, so no whammy needed :D Killer sound in the tonight show studio. Great performance of "Scratch" Boogie. Greg Bisonette killing it as always. Wonderful video. Would love to see more instrumental music on network television these days.
What a boss flawless performance. What a beautiful uplifting song!
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
Great clip. Love the music. Thanks Joe!👍😎
Guitar legend 🎸
I was on Brazil learn everything about hear thanks Joe
Satch can write such happy music!
Just saw him on the Satch/Vai tour and he does not skip a single notes. Satch is and forever will be my favorite guitarist. Dude is the definition of cool.
Thanks to YT I can watch this in awe with a delay 32 years. We didn t have this on german tv and I would have killed for this at the time !
Absolutely incredible performance! Satch and the entire band killed it!! 🤘🔥🤘 Thank you Joe 🙏
Being in the studio with him back when dinosaurs roamed the earth:
Not only a great guitar player but an undeniable class act.
How can you NOT enjoy this! This is FANTASTIC!!! :D!
I remember staying up late and recording this on my VCR. Ah, to be 17 again! 💙 ya, Joe!!
Mannn as beautiful as this performance was by Mr. Satch himself.....that outro song by Kevin Eubanks and band gives me goosebumps. What a beautiful composition that is too...ufffff what a dose of nostalgia.
Oh damn! I love this song. Wish he would still play it. Shocked he didn't play Summer song but glad he didn't lol.
Comecei a ficar encantado pelo som da guitarra por causa do "The Extremist". Depois desse album, comecei a ouvir mais guitarristas ao invés de bandas tradicionais !! obrigado Joe !! Congratulations from Brasil !!
Joe is so much fun in concert, saw his Flying in a Blue dream tour in Fort Wayne, amazing.
This groove reminds me of the song “Open Your Eyes” by Alter Bridge, and Mark Tremonti absolutely slayed that sound with some yummy riffs! I like this song as well. Heard OF satriani, but never heard him. Glad I clicked.
I saw him when he was first breaking ('85?) in Austin. Stood up there in ragged blue jeans, a T-shirt, and hightops and tore the house down. Made it all look effortless. All the local guitar heroes left afterwards wth their tails between their legs. (well, except Eric Johnson and SRV!) What a monster....
Joe Satriani's Jordan performance! Nailed it so much energy
The coolest man on the earth, he demonstrate the ability to make a simple music that stays in minds !
Joe satriani is the best way to be an adult musician :)
King Satriani❤️
I never got to see this until UA-cam was available as Australia was kind of behind with the Late Night Shows.....But I remember buying the CD and once again Joe changed my life.....Cryin mesmerized me....just could not stop listening to the tone of the melody guitar....the whole song and arrangement of course is stellar!!
I first saw and met him in sydney. Enmore theatre. 21 feb 1990. My wife walked down the isle to always with me always with you 1997. Yes he changed my life. A true gentleman.
@@gd7389 Such a beautiful story and 100% a gentlemen and stand up guy 🤙🤘🎸
Yes.he is one of the few. Kind regards. Cheers.
nice. satch is the reason i picked up an axe in 1986/7.
ibanez... of course. marshall... of course.
a true legend. thanks for the upload!
Thanks for the guitar clinic, Joe.
😉
6:09 That whammy bar hit with the fist is awesome. I remember this from back in the day. I totally forgot about those big paper CD sleeves also. They later got replaced with clear plastic ones and then were totally removed to allow more space on store shelves.
1992 at 12:15AM? I was either furiously finishing my homework to get to sleep, or actually sleeping because I missed this. Thanks for the post, Joe.
Great performance, I never would have guessed you were sick!
Looked so much better then. Before he changed to the “I have to wear sunglasses 24/7” look.
Hater
@@Chopper140ok??
Found him before I had Internet ❤️🔥💯👍
My Uncle rest his soul 🙏, introduced me to Satriani at the age of 6. I was like, “Where’s the singing??”…. And his response was, “What do you mean? You can’t hear him singing with that guitar??” 😂
My life was forever changed. Satch is the man 💪
Oh tje good times of first learning all these sings on guitar for me was amazing, i had such good memories of sunlit nights bottle of wine and my headphones and a backing track , thanks joe, for giving us all memories we can never forget
Fun!! 🥰Thanks Joe for sharing!!
☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Satch has that searing hot guitar tone that just rips. Killer phrasing and legato. Puts on one helluva live show
"Friends" has an anthem vibes... I like both 🎸🎵🎶
Yes, cd packages were ungodly big and stupid, That's ONE CD Jays holding up young people
I was right, Joe did have hair at one point. Great video, awesome playing.
He seemed to have great hair. I wonder what prompted him to go bowling ball?
recuerdo que como a mi me gusta el instrumental en guitarra electrica un amigo me decia tocas musica alegre jaja masomenos como satriani la verdad nunca habia oido a satriani, pero luego de estudiarle me encanta, yo realmente facinada con este increible y talentoso ser humano
Thanks for vídeo ❤
