Joe Satriani has been a worldwide guitar hero since his 1986 breakthrough album, Surfing With The Alien. Over 10-million albums and CD’s later, in addition to 13 Grammy nominations including this year for his latest studio release Super Colossal, Joe continues to push the envelope of modern rock guitar playing. Satriani is currently ranked as the 7th best electric guitar player in the world.

After releasing several critically acclaimed albums over 10 years, in 1996, Satriani and guitarist STEVE VAI, embarked on the G3 guitar showcase tour, which became an annual event. By 2000, Satriani released the electronic album Engines Of Creation which earned him a Grammy nomination. Satriani went on to release his most recent live album Satriani Live!. A new studio album is expected to be released in 2008 to coincide with the UK tour.

Ah, that explains the slightly cryptic text from my wife this morning! looks like we will be seeing him at bmth with any luck and a trailing wind :)

Damn, Gilbert played at leeds last time and hoped he'd do it again :( I guess it's off to mancaster i go.

I'll deffo be going, absolutely loved gilbert and he's a great guy to!

I'm crossing my fingers that sheenan would be playing for satriani instead of say stu hamm, but eh.

Yeah... I have an inexplicable dislike of Stu Hamm as well... I'd hope for Matt Bissonette with Satch. He was great on The Extremist tour.

Billy is my fav but he suits Vai much better than Satch.

[Davey]

havent read the post yeet, but i sure as hell hope that they:
A) get their asses over here
B) are in the UK, when i'm there.
