TS: Steve Vai vs Joe Satriani

That's the best non-official video for a song on youtube I've ever watched.

i miss dave q

i am listening to steve vai's MODERN PRIMITIVE (2016) and not really enjoying it much tbh

Apologies if this is the wrong Rig Rundown, but I thought Satch's tech nerdery was unparalleled here (if predictably so). The only one of these installments that comes close, iirc, is Vernon Reid. Anyway:

(The specific thing I remember from this, assuming this is the right rundown, is that Satriani has a pedal that can artificially alter the length of his guitar cords, which is a level of specificity that I can't imagine many caring about.)

I hate to admit I'll probably watch that even though I'm not a fan.

Speaking of which, the other day I was listening to the classic rock station and I caught the last minute or so of "Just like Paradise." The song ends and the DJ, to my shock, sort of exhales and says, "wow, that sucked." And I thought, huh, I've never heard a commercial radio DJ say a single bad thing about anything they played, let alone something in their wheelhouse. I guess they were trying out some "Terrible Tuesday" gimmick or something? But anyway, just coincidentally a couple of days later I heard a *different* DLR song from the same album, and I was impressed by Vai's acoustic chops:

I get no feeling from Vai’s music , even when he makes faces and bends notes

It's soulless because he is the Devil, which is why he tried to take the soul of the Karate Kid in a guitar duel.

Dude is like a robot

Ime Crossroads is far more popular with teenaged and twentysomething guitarists in the present day than I would have ever expected.

this reminds me geeta is in london and we need to organise a fap
