Since late August, Joe Satriani and his ace band (keyboardist Mike Keneally, drummer Marco Minnemann and bassist Bryan Beller) have been knocking out US audiences with a seismic live show that includes hits like Satch Boogie, Ice 9 and Flying In A Blue Dream, along with a heaping portion of the guitarist's dynamite new album, Unstoppable Momentum.
If that weren't enough six-string nirvana, Satch's special guest for the past month has been his good friend, Deep Purple axeman and solo star Steve Morse, who also participated in last year's G3 South American run.
MusicRadar stopped by the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, the other day, where we managed to wrangle both guitar greats backstage for a special one-hour podcast interview comprising reader questions. So numerous were the queries, and so voluminous were the guitarists' answers, that we're running the podcast in two parts. You can listen to part one below, and next week we'll present the conclusion.
“Crafted for the true metal enthusiast, this axe embodies the soul of legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde”: Paging all “shred warriors,” Wylde Audio’s Berzerker takes the shape of metal guitars to new extremes
“A high-spec instrument at a competitive price”: Sustainiac pickups, onboard Z.Vexx Fuzz Factory circuits, a Night Sky Holosparkle finish? Manson lavishes Matt Bellamy-approved specs on updated M-Series electrics
