Joe Satriani tour

[Paul S]

Satch is on tour here through November - the *huge* surprise for me is he is playing the Cliff's Pavilion in Southend, which is just a 4000 seater venue. I wouldn't say I was a 'fan' but it would be rude not see such an influential player locally for not a lot of dosh - got my ticket already!

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Glad you're going. Next to Alex life son , he is my fave guitar hero;) I believe brian beller is playing , but not stu Hamm tho'.
My friend sent me txt, but I'm in hospital and he is moving house. He may get tkts for hammy o nearer the time, but I doubt it.
Seen him obviously a few times before , so not a huge catastrophe if I miss out

Saw him playing in a 2,500 venue and it wasn't full. Mind you it was 14 years ago. Maybe he's come full circle?

Got my tickets too, never seen him solo, just with Chickenfoot, and he was great, bonus that Southend is much better to get to than London, even though I live mid way between the two!

Playing with Mike Kineally, incredible guitar player.

Worth going for just for mike keneally

Saw him a couple of years ago. Is it just me or is two hours of guitar noodling a bit tedious?

I'd have to agree with you there.

I just cannot listen to stuff like that anymore. Bores the arse off me.

I'm sure JTUK would class him as a "Pro".

[Paul S]

Here's a novel idea - don't go!

I've not seen him before and am looking forward to it. Of course I may walk out half way through...

I play my guitar much more than I do by bass so this isnt a 'anti guitarist' post but I find it extremely tedious as well. I think its a great thing he can do but when its constant all the time it drives me up the wall.

Its the same with Slash, I watched the 'Live in Stoke' show i think it was called, and he was doing all sorts of noodling after almost every song and it was so bloody annoying I turned it off!

Billy Sheehan as well, I cant watch the 15 minute solo videos you see on YouTube.


I like all three artists but the noodling for the sake of noodling because you can noodle is not for me. Its not music, its just showing off!

Got my ticket!

I really enjoy JS live. However, whereas some gigs leave me feeling like I want to watch it all again the next night (Slipknot and Muse spring to mind), I am content to leave seeing other artists for a year or so!

Oh, and Mike Kineally is in the band! Last time I saw them together he won their guitar duel in Ice 9 hands down.

Satch is still the master. Far more musically mature than Steve Vai IMO.

[Geddys nose]

Love Satch saw him first with the Flying in a Blue Dream tour with Stu Hamm, Hamm did Star Trek as his solo piece ( quite mind blowing for me at that point) . Might go this time big fan of Marco on drums.

Sorry for the thread revival, but I have a couple of spare tickets for the Satch Southend gig if anyone fancies them? Posted in the for sale section too.....
