- 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.” - เพลง
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 saw this video when i was a kid. and changed my life forever.Thanks for all Joe. you are inspiration all over the world. We love you.!!!
No one cares.
@@adriantrusca1245actually people do care. Over 100k views just on this video alone.
You’re just being a negative little twat. Now THATS worth not caring about haha only enough to point it out ;)
you are wrong...69 cares!!! you are the only 1 loser.!!! it's possible you could not play 1 note with the guitar!!!!
@@adriantrusca1245 you're wrong. 69 cares. Maybe you're the only one who cannot play a note with a triangle.!!!
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 !
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.
The Legend Himself (and my sons and I are laughing at Leno calling the second song “Scratch” Boogie) 😂
Calm down, nerd. Easy mistake to make.
LMFAO!!! Scratch Boogie hahaha :P !
@@adriantrusca1245Easy to make a mistake when you're an idiot. 😂
I thought he said scratch boobie 😊
*_The Bissonette Brothers were really nailin' the groove to the stage hard!_*
🤘
😫
🎸
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!
I swear that Joe just looks at his guitar and it plays for him!
Been a fan since 1985. Yes, I am that old. Joe, you are the best guitarist I have even seen in my life.
Have a great day, Sir! o7
In the same club. My brother was at Berklee in the mid 80s and turned me on to Joe when Flying in a Blue Dream came out. Now I'm the old dude riding downtown with the windows down cranking this crazy guitar music.
"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.
I listened to The Extremist at least 30 times and never once did I get tired of listening to it. Satch is still amazing.
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
"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.
@@user-fq5mw9vs9o Me too!
Gentlemen, Joe is not only a master of the guitar, he is an exceptional composer,Joe! thank you for "the extremist" one of my favorite albums ever!!!
Agree. My go to Satch album
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!
I saw Joe 4 times live. He is absolutely amazing!! He plays with such feeling. He doesnt just shred ,he shreds with feeling.
To all you youngaters and those that have been around but just found Joe Satriani,
This is the pinnacle.
He is a legendary composer and a wizard on guitar.
They nicknamed him "Smoke".
He's great but I've seen some of these youngsters who could smoke him technique wise. It depends on what you mean by pinnacle. If you're referring to wizardry, he was surpassed by many years ago.
@@tacoconch7678 clueless robots that are technically skilled.
Noone will ever blow away a master such as Satriani. The pinnacle is great composition along with the ability to play what youve composed.
@@tacoconch7678 Also no player has or ever will surpass him.
No great instrumentals have been written by your so called smokin young players.
Plus few of the 40 and under generations even know he exists.
And they wont ever write or create 10% of the great cpmpositions he has written.
Just a generation of non creative plagerists.
@@tacoconch7678 surpassed with what composition and by whom?
@@trickjones3345 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow, what a treat. Thanks heaps to the folks behind Joe's channel for bringing some of this stuff back in surprisingly good quality. There's a real dearth of live video recordings of Satriani pre-1996 and so it's so special for long term fans like myself to see him during these earlier eras!
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!
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
That kit sounds unreal; considering that it was television audio. Very awesome Satch
tv audio yes, but on a show that had a huge musical profile and the staff to care for it.
Satch having the flu is what breaks me just watching this - when I had flu, I would not want to be anywhere loud, let alone near a Bissonette or two!
I love this song so much!!!! Please play it live again :)
Blessed to have a JS 6000 and Joe is the greatest!
That is the one that got away for me. Still regret selling it...
First Satch song I ever learned… by ear too. 🤘🏼
Newer fans don’t understand that since he wears shades on stage all the time these days, he’s playing mostly with his eyes closed. 😮 I noticed that when I saw him tour on The Extremist. 🤘🏼
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!
❤ 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😊).
Geezus Branford Marsalis is SOOO good. That outro solo is ridiculous. Great performance by Joe!
GUITAR GOD. JOE SATRIANI. KING JOE. badass guitar player. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I still have the cassette Surfing with the Alien 👽
@@rubenbenitez8225
I saw that album tour. Great concert. . Joe was on fire. Good memories. Good times.
@alexsaucedo8032 Awesome 👌
Don't forget...he taught Steve Vai... Kirk Hammet... and others too many to mention 😎👍🎶
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
Satch can write such happy music!
Thank you Joe for being such a strong influence. How you remember so many compositions is amazing.
Legendary. Thanks Joe.
Such a timeless energy!!!!
Greetings from KWWL country in eastern Iowa. Keep kicking butt and taking name Joe!!!!
I remember that night so clearly! I had just bought my first guitar and was just starting to learn how to play and this came on the tv. Talk about inspiring. I went out the very next day to buy that album and had that on repeat for weeks!
Guy was sick with the flu and he still sounded better than the album playing live. Incredible. :D
Edit: Guys, it says he was sick IN THE DESCRIPTION. xD
Even if true, I totally understand why he played sick.
I wouldn't say better than the album.
He was playing a guitar not running a marathon
Wow…..you’re easily please. I’ve worked on building sites in frost with flu. I’m sure many folk have done harder things than playing guitar with flu.
You total dogsdick🤡🤛🏻
And no one wore a mask terrified for their life.
My favorite guitarist/musician is Joe Satriani with so many awesome songs and incredible musicianship all-around on all his albums.
31 years ago. That brought back vivid memories.
Man, Gregg Bissonette is just the best. Always has been.
Guitar legend 🎸
Oh yes, the good ole "hair shred" days. Is it sad that I'm old enough to remember watching this live on the tube? Damn good renditions of Friends and Satch Boogie
More of these please!
He has been my driving motivation to play guitar for 30 years!!! And still going strong,he is one of goats
nothing short of incredible
thanks for posting!
Thanks for coming to La Vista, Nebraska recently Joe!! it was a great show, you haven’t lost any of the magic, and I was enthralled the entire time! We were glad to have you! Please come back!
As for this flashback, it was great fun! Thanks for posting this.
Thanks for vídeo ❤
Great stuff (as always) thanks for posting !
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!
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.
Joe is so much fun in concert, saw his Flying in a Blue dream tour in Fort Wayne, amazing.
Right on. Thanks for sharing.
Great clip. Love the music. Thanks Joe!👍😎
I SAW THIS, lol!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to YT I can watch this in awe with a delay 32 years. We didn t have this on german tv and I would have killed for this at the time !
Found him before I had Internet ❤️🔥💯👍
Greg AND Matt Bisonette!!!
Yes young people Joe did have hair! Greg and Matt also played with on the second DLR album tour.
I was on Brazil learn everything about hear thanks Joe
How can you NOT enjoy this! This is FANTASTIC!!! :D!
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
Joe Satriale playing scratch boogie. Awesome🤣🤣
Joe's best album. The catchiest of lead melodies. He let his legato really go sick. 🎸
Mostly major keys and great vibes! *92 - a great year*
I love this song takes me back to the 90s when I first heard him and got me into playing guitar
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 TH-cam/Instagram show-offs
What a boss flawless performance. What a beautiful uplifting song!
Joe Satriani's Jordan performance! Nailed it so much energy
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
"Friends" has an anthem vibes... I like both 🎸🎵🎶
Perfect music !!
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.
Scratch boogie? Haha, great footage and performance guys ❤️
There are guitarists, musicians and then there is Satch. Many players of today owe a lot to him. Kirk Hammett for one. He doesnt emulate or imitate anyone. He became what he is by being music. He is an artist and there will never be another like him. Everytime album and every concept ive been to, he never ceases to amaze me
Absolutely incredible performance! Satch and the entire band killed it!! 🤘🔥🤘 Thank you Joe 🙏
Beautiful guitar
Great performance, I never would have guessed you were sick!
Amazing Joe . 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Awesomeness!👏👏👏
Fun!! 🥰Thanks Joe for sharing!!
☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
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!
Along with Tom Selleck and Rita Rudner....great lineup on this day!
I remember staying up late and recording this on my VCR. Ah, to be 17 again! 💙 ya, Joe!!
Amazing, Joe! 🤩
Constant chills. Just unbelievable.
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
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.
Satch has that searing hot guitar tone that just rips. Killer phrasing and legato. Puts on one helluva live show
you forget how many mullets were still around in 92 :)
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.
And after this I’ve been to see him and vai 5x. 😊
Es increible como se puede percibir el volumen que hay en ese estudio!!
Thanks for the guitar clinic, 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.
I never got to see this until TH-cam was available as Australia was kind of behind with the Late Night Shows.....But I remember buying the CD and once again Joe changed my life.....Cryin mesmerized me....just could not stop listening to the tone of the melody guitar....the whole song and arrangement of course is stellar!!
I first saw and met him in sydney. Enmore theatre. 21 feb 1990. My wife walked down the isle to always with me always with you 1997. Yes he changed my life. A true gentleman.
@@gd7389 Such a beautiful story and 100% a gentlemen and stand up guy 🤙🤘🎸
Yes.he is one of the few. Kind regards. Cheers.
This is so Nostalgia!
Still one of my inspirations and an awesome down to earth dude.
Satch breaking out an early JS with non-floating bridge for Friends. No pinch harmonic dive bombs, so no whammy needed :D Killer sound in the tonight show studio. Great performance of "Scratch" Boogie. Greg Bisonette killing it as always. Wonderful video. Would love to see more instrumental music on network television these days.
Great show you guys put on in Houston! I was front row (on your right) with the Olde School "The Extremist" skull hat from the very first of your shows I saw in Cleveland. LOVED the "The Sea of Emotion" song, you guys should write a whole album together!🤟🤟
One of the greats!! Thabks Joe
rayos de que baul sacaron ese video jajajaja genial maestro!!!!!!!!
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 :)
