- Flashback to a 1993 segment of The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno, where Joe and his band took the stage to hype up the release of his album, “The Extremist.” 🔥🎸
- “I was so sick with the flu during that very important performance. High on Sudafed and a bit nervous to be on live TV, it’s hard to believe it went as well as it did. Gregg and Matt Bissonette on drums and bass, with Phil Ashley on keys were great. Jay Leno was very supportive, and funny as always.”
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
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.
Man, things played with stringed instruments are niche genres these days 😂
@@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. 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.
@@ballaking1000 Hendrix and Beck, perhaps. Vai, no way in hell.
@@Ou8y2k2You don’t know Vai’s body of work and it shows
Very expressive! So good! Technically awesome too :) VEry expressive LOVE IT! :D !
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" 🙏✌️🤘🎸🥁🏴🇦🇺
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
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.
ha! I bought Time Machine at Wherehouse as a double cassette, didn't get a discman until a few months later
Time Machine is amazing
The extremist was my first cd!
*_The Bissonette Brothers were really nailin' the groove to the stage hard!_*
🤘
😫
🎸
"Scratch Boogie": it will leave you itching for more! 🤘😆
Cat Scratch Boogie!
That people caught that is even funnier...lol
Huh, all these years I thought it was "Snatch Boogie"...🤣
Satch Boogie, OKAY?!!!
Joe's early 90's tone was so 🔥🔥. Miss this era of his career.
I love the tone on the albums. Here, not so much. Maybe a bad recording.
"Friends" is still one of my feel-good beautiful-day cruising-with-the-top-down songs. It's an anthem of happiness.
Surfing with the alien, Always with me, always with you.
@@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.
@@GetSmartish Me too!
Man, something bitter sweet about that tonight show closing theme. Brings back good memories but makes me sad that they are gone.
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.
Late night TV will never be as good as it was from 1970-1995.
No one cares about you or your feelings.
Eef yew ette tew sweate pitaytoes, yew ken mayke aye gewd, stronge, faurt
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
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.
Aw I wish I was there :( !!! Would love to see that :P !
I've loved Joe most of my life. Have seen him play live in 5 different decades. But The Extremist is my least favorite album by him.
@@cygnustsp Ooooh, now that's a hot take! Why is it your least favourite album?
@@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!
Thank you Joe for being such a strong influence. How you remember so many compositions is amazing.
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!
Blessed to have a JS 6000 and Joe is the greatest!
That is the one that got away for me. Still regret selling it...
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!
My favorite guitarist/musician is Joe Satriani with so many awesome songs and incredible musicianship all-around on all his albums.
❤ 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😊).
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 ❤
I saw him at Enmore theatre in Sydney in '95
Such a timeless energy!!!!
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
31 years ago. That brought back vivid memories.
Legendary. Thanks Joe.
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.
Dude. He’s a fucking shredder. He’s just also a great musician. But he def got famous for his shredding.
These guys were still pushing and moving forward through the 90s.
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 RUclips/Instagram show-offs
This is about as 90s as it gets and I'm SO here for it.
Man, Gregg Bissonette is just the best. Always has been.
Joe is so much fun in concert, saw his Flying in a Blue dream tour in Fort Wayne, amazing.
Lest we not forget he’s a great teacher as well. He taught Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett how to grind as well. All great additions to music!
He has been my driving motivation to play guitar for 30 years!!! And still going strong,he is one of goats
Greg AND Matt Bisonette!!!
Yes young people Joe did have hair! Greg and Matt also played with on the second DLR album tour.
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.
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.
Guitar legend 🎸
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.
What a boss flawless performance. What a beautiful uplifting song!
Absolutely incredible performance! Satch and the entire band killed it!! 🤘🔥🤘 Thank you Joe 🙏
More of these please!
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.
Joe Satriani's Jordan performance! Nailed it so much energy
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
How can you NOT enjoy this! This is FANTASTIC!!! :D!
Perfect music !!
"Friends" has an anthem vibes... I like both 🎸🎵🎶
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.
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?
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 :)
Found him before I had Internet ❤️🔥💯👍
I SAW THIS, lol!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Satriale playing scratch boogie. Awesome🤣🤣
I remember staying up late and recording this on my VCR. Ah, to be 17 again! 💙 ya, Joe!!
Amazing Joe . 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
And after this I’ve been to see him and vai 5x. 😊
I've always wondered if he happy with his live sound cuz he pics so many extra times at the end of long notes. He always does that live and I've seen every video you can find plus seen him live thrice. My fave guitar player
Fun!! 🥰Thanks Joe for sharing!!
☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
One of the greats!! Thabks Joe
Great stuff (as always) thanks for posting !
By far one his BEST albums!!!!
Constant chills. Just unbelievable.
Great performance, I never would have guessed you were sick!
Scratch boogie? Haha, great footage and performance guys ❤️
Love him. One of the few that don't sound like they're practising scales. There's actually melody, light and shade.
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!
Beautiful guitar
Ah yes, the "Joe had hair" days LoL got to see Joe with Stu Hamm and Johnathan Mover on the "Flying In A Blue Dream" tour, amazing show.
thanks for posting!
I never leave home without my Extremist CD. Ever.
excellent!
Just amazing JOE!!!!
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.
The Bisonette Mullet is legend 🤘😎🥁
El album de joe! un nene magico era en esa epoca
He was having fever during this performance..Still he gave his 100%
Mmmmmm...Joe! 🎸👍
Best stuff ever
He is good ! 🍁
Thanks Joe
Es increible como se puede percibir el volumen que hay en ese estudio!!
MELODY
drone that low E Joe! Amazing guitar player!
at the end of satch boogie, the camera pans over to the house band looking around going how the hell do we play after that lol 🤣
Nobody plays guitar like Professor Scratchafunkilus! ;) Joe is a Legend, Jimi would indeed be proud.
great performance as always... I noticed the G string was little low on friends...
Scratch Boobie ?! I'm dying over here !!! Love Satch and his Boogie !
Hard to remember why i might of liked this stuff back then.
Righteous
I thought Eddie Vedder was a secret shredder for a minute there! Absolutely prime Satriani, still sounds so good today. I'll never forget seeing someone from my guitar school playing Surfing with the Alien live, and I was mind blown. 30+ years on I'm still hooked on playing, and still learning. Thanks for the inspiration!
Don't insult Satch like that. Vedder sux.
That’s Satch Boogie! Leno
Joe possess the playing skills that I've been trying to master for many years. I hope to see you next time you are out in PA. Take care sir:)
Good luck with that 😊 nobody sounds and plays like him unique style!best instrumental player in my opinion.
Steve vai has some of his melody
Australia is waiting for you❤
Greetings from NSW. ✌️
I seen this in 1992 or 3 at my high-school girlfriend house and she's still my wife today happy mothers day.
The One And Only.😊
Joe Satriani The Best Guitaris....👍😁
Friends is his best song by a long shot.
Yes, cd packages were ungodly big and stupid, That's ONE CD Jays holding up young people
Cheers to the classic mullet. Business in the front, hard rockin’ in the back
Looked so much better then. Before he changed to the “I have to wear sunglasses 24/7” look.
Hater
@@Chopper140ok??
Lol the house band was probably thinkin "wtf. How do we follow THAT!"
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?
