Ohmygod I can't find my copy of this. Maybe I never had it...:upset:

what should be my first satriani purchase this or surfing with the alien.

^i agree, surfing with the alein should be manditory for any guitarist that wants some inspiration.
i really want super colossal.

ditto

Man, 'Crowd Chant' is amazing

Any recommended downloads for a first time listener of Joe Satriani?

Joe Satriani is genius.

I think this album is right up there with blue dream and the extremist, but this one is cooler and more flowing.



btw the closest Vai ever came to Satch was For the love of god or maybe bad horsie but there really is no contest overall.....joe wins

^^^^^^^
Good call there. I think Vai also came close with Dying Day, which I quite like. Probably cos it reminds me of Satch.

Hoho crowd chant is just pure awesomeness..... It's so refreshing and it's amazing he comes up with these stuff that nobody else thinks abt.

Just got this, must listen to as soon as possible.

Is "Summer Song" a typical Satriani tune? I love that song, but sometimes the shredding guitarists kind of get on my nerve and it has stopped me from every buying an album.

Summer song is satch gold



don't get him confused with malmsteen and other hardcore shredders



satch can actually write music and that means (as this album proves) he doesn't just play irritatingly fast scales!!

Yeh, Othello is right, Joe is alot more than a widly-widly-widly watch me shred my guitar to the point where your head explodes kind of guitarist.

^yeh unlike a certain guitarist from metallica.This Message Edited On 06.16.06

I have a question

how come kurt cobain got into the rolling stones' list of "100 greatest guitarists of all time", but Satriani and vai are no where to be found.

oh yeah, and how the hell is jack white a better guitarist than eddie van halen and thurston moore.This Message Edited On 06.16.06
