Did someone actually say that Joe mimics Eddie? I'm not trying to start sh^t but WTF. The guy from White Lion mimicks Eddie but Joe......I don't think so. Just because Eddies recording carrier started before Joe's that does not mean sh^t. I guess Joe was kinda busy teaching Steve Vai and Kirk...
King Diamond............J/k. I like Don Dokken, Ray Gillian,Michael Sweet,Geof Tate,Rob Halford,Mark Slaughter,......man there are so fvckin many. It kinda seems like I have a thing for 80's singer huh.
I know who Kerry is I love slayer I just don't see him as a guitar god. Don't get me wrong I did his rythems they are awesome but his solos are well....OK at best. Oh yeah big bump on Priest without them Metal would not have evolved to what it is today.
I understand the whole different style thing but Satch is beyond versitile(spelling?) I don't think that SRV could have played like Satch but bet your ass Satch could do SRV. Joe has not just mastered his own style but everyone elses to.
If you have a chance check out the vhs or dvd of Joe Satriani live in San Francisco. I've seen it a million times now and I still can't believe what I am seeing and hearing.
Mars is a joke! I had the chance to meet Joe twice this year and he is a very humble guy. I just wished some of his talent would have worn off on me when I shook his hand.
