- One of the greatest guitarists of all time Joe Satriani, discussing his time with Deep Purple in 1994 following Richie Blackmore's departure, and also the affect the band and the 'Machine Head' album had on him as a youngster.

What Joe says about the guys in DP and their humanity and relatability is absolutely dead on. In my younger days, I was a touring audio engineer and a road manager, and I had some wonderful experiences with the guys. It all started with Ian Paice and Roger Glover coming to Studio One in Atlanta to produce the first album by Elf (Ronnie James Dio's band). One evening they asked who was the best band playing in town, and were promptly sent to the fabled Funochio's club to see the band I worked for. They became fans of our band that evening, and hung around with us after the show. The best part was that they returned the following night and jammed with my guys! I got to be Paicey's drum roadie for one night, as I assisted him in turning our drummer's right-handed kit around to suit him! I continued to occasionally hang with them right on through the years, though we haven't spoken in many years, now. I know for a fact, however, that if I bumped into Ian Paice today, he would know exactly who I am, and we would have a nice chat.
Great story/memories.I remember reading interviews with them at that time ...mentioning Elf.
Yes I know too what a nice guy Roger is. I wrote to the Purple Records office (where also their new appreciation society was based) as a 15 year old ...asking if he was still going to finish his (great!) album Butterfly Ball.
I was astounded that I got a reply from the appreciation society saying that when Roger (then fired from the band) dropped in they asked him and he signed a piece of paper for me and thanked me for asking. A treasured memento (which I recently gifted to a young budding bass player)
I saw Elf when they supported Purple on the Burn U.K. tour in 74. What a night. Heard Ronnie Dio for the first time and heard Purple launch into their show with a blistering rendition of BURN. Rock music doesn’t get any better than that IMO.
I loved Elf’s playing as Ritchies backing band on the first Rainbow album. Catch the Rainbow is a work of art 😀
Fancy Bear Saw Ian recently at Ronnie Scott’s filling in for the late Big band Jazz drummer Buddy Rich .... (how many drummers get that honour). So close I could have shouted over .... “fancy bear is asking for you” 😀
Ian had cue sheets which he consulted before each song. At one point he looked up and said “ this stuff is complicated you know 😉”
Right on cue a guy from the audience sang out the Smoke on the water riff. (notoriously the best and easiest guitar riff) . Ian cracked up laughing.
I have seen so many videos with Satch & Purple and every time it blows my mind how naturally he fits in this band , the balance he achieved is incredible so respectful to Blackmore while being completely him self ! sometimes I wish his time with Purple lasted little longer .
You were amazing with Deep Purple, Joe!
I’ve been a big fan of Deep Purple for almost 45 years and I have great respect for Joe Satriani for his great job at DP
Joe Satriani's description of the whole thing is fabulous. I heard him the first time with DP - and I'm excited how organic the whole thing sounds/sounded.
It's a pitty they did not move on together - it could have been a very interesting journey if they had made an album together.
Joe, there is a great video out there: live in saarbrücken 1994.
I wish Joe Satriani had stayed with Deep Purple longer. Watching some of the recordings from his time with the band he was a great fit for Deep Purple. Some of the best live performances from that band with Joe playing in my opinion!
very very nice and humble guy!! congratulations
Yeah I ike Joe. Steve Morse is a very humble man as well. Great players both.
Such a humble man,and a great musician,nice to know ,he has his heroes,and he is so gracious,despite his supreme talent, very impressed.
I saw Deep Purple with Joe in Dec. 1993 in Yokohama, Japan. It was a very rare and a wonderful experience. After seeing the show, I became a big fan of Joe Satriani.
One of the greatest interviews I have seen. Thank you!
This is absolutely AMAZING interview... Enjoy every word Joe says...
A Beautiful example of Humility and genuine Appreciation!! Well Done Joe!
Amazing. You grow listening and idolizing a band; they you’re playing with them!
Even all those years later Satch still talked about those Deep Purple tours with a certain 'wow, did that really happen?' vocal tone and facial expression. As a guitar player and fan of both I can understand that feeling. I wish it had been me. :)
Joe Satriani is one of the best guitarist
Yes you have got that right
Genova '94 Fantastic concert Satriani IMPECABILE
My favorite guitarist of all time..
machine head was the 1st album I ever bought. have never regretted it
A great investment - I dare say! ;)
"how do i not screw this up". I love his humbleness. I think is very hard for you to screw something up Joe. You re the man
That's an amazing testimonial
I got the Machine Head album my self and it's a milestone in rock. But so is Joe Satriani !!!
Yes the video of Germany the dude who shot the video was back in the crowd just far enuf to see the German fans hanging on Joe's every note waiting for a great song and they were a good guage even Ian was surprised when he thanked them a couple times for their applause it was nice...Joe didn't look like he noticed he was still in the mist....pinch me I'm where... Germany is their best loved venue...love to from them
Gracias !!! Desde Burzaco, Argentina!!
I can't think of a scarier job in all the world of rock than replacing Ritchie Blackmore in Deep Purple. Joe did it about as well as it could be done. I really wish they had made an album.
You are a wise person. and great player. thanks.
Joe apart from being one of the greatest guitar players ever he is such a lucid, humble, down to earth person, it is a pleasure to hear him talk....unlike seeing guys like stupid Malmsteen trying to show you how fast and snob he can be.....U are the best Joe!!!
I am in love with this guy! He is such a nice guy and a terrific guitar player!!!!💜💜💜💜
I've been a Purple fan for decades & I've been a Steve Morse fan for nearly as long, but I never felt that they were a great fit for each other. Blackmore is loose & fluid, while Morse is tight & calculated. I love them both, but I (almost) wish Satch had stayed with them. Deep Purple is essentially a really heavy jam band, with classical leanings. Steve Morse has a southern rock meets jazz sound and is a guy who follows a set plan. Joe was right to not try to copy Ritchie's sound, but he's still more fluid than Steve and (IMHO) a better fit. That said, Banana's is one of the most under rated albums in the DP catalog and is my favorite from Steve Morse's time. He's actually played more shows with Purple than Ritchie has, BTW. The songs on Banana's are great & cheeky in classic Purple style and the band gels really well. Beyond that, I've found their sound with Morse to be a bit forced. Never the less, I wish I'd have caught them this last time through the US, as it was likely their last time. I wish I could find a good quality Purple Satch recording. What I've found on You Tube sounds like it was recorded on someones phone from the back row. There have got to be some good board recordings! No one could ever replace Jon Lord's contribution as a writer & arranger, but stylistically Don Airey is a really good fit and was Jon's chosen successor. I've seen Purple twice, the Dregs once & Steve with Kansas once. I hope the Dregs will pull another tour. RIP Jon Lord, without whom...! Long live DP Mk II, which survives (sort of) in this likely final configuration of the band. Also, RIP T. Lavitz! Check out the early Dixie Dregs stuff. You'll thank me, if you're not familiar!
I agree that Satch was probably a better fit in Deep Purple than Steve Morse. I was a Steve Morse/Dixie Dregs fan from 1979 and feverishly waited for every Dregs album. This was when Steve was dominating the Guitar Player magazine Best Guitarist Poll every year. After he won it five times in a row, they made a rule to make him ineligible. Steve Morse's playing is instantly recognizable, and modern Deep Purple has elements of The Dregs in the music. But the mix of styles doesn't really work for me. I found that Morse-era Kansas wasn't a good fit either. But Steve has been in Deep Purple longer than Ritchie was, so they must like what they're doing.
Great Satch!
I love 1980
guitaorrr
Joe is humble and respect the others : that's what I don't see with many tutos -videos-funny-teachers (French )
talent is Joe, Hackett, May, they are full of respect and they know they are good but not the best of the best
Deep Purple have said/know how blessed they were to have Joe step in at that time. It kept them together to then find Steve Morse ... another “Perfect stranger“ for the band. No Steve Morse ....no Purple.... for the past 2 decades and more. Perpendicular, the first album with that line up, is up there with Purple’s best, IMO.
Purple have fallen between the cracks (in the general culture) with regard to the “greats” who surrounded them because they are ...too musical !?! By that I mean they were an instrumental band of virtuoso level players (and a stellar singer - Gillan) who drew on so many musical genres.
Many people just didn’t get them because all they had heard was smoke on the water and black night and lumped them in with metal in the late 70’s and in the 80’s. They were a very loud “hard rock” band .... nothing to do with what hard rock became ... metal. (Roger Glover... “We’re more folk than metal”)
They probably helped inspire a new genre, now known now as progressive metal .
I’m no rock musicologist but the evidence for what I’m saying is that it took the members of the biggest contemporary metal band, Metallica, (“No Purple no Metallica”) to point out to the rest of the world ..... “Are you kidding? possibly the best band of their generation, 50 years on .... haven’t been recognised by the Rock and roll hall of fame” (devalued as that membership now is because of glaring omissions such as Purple).
The great producer/engineer Martin Birch once said “Deep Purple were the best at what they did”. It’s only now that the general culture seems to be recognising, what fans from 1969 have known all along.
I only realised recently that Purple’s 1973 album “Who do we think we are” is actually related to my ( and Metallica’s) rant above. The band said at the time, that they gave it that title because their office got so many letters which began “Who do Deep Purple think they are”.
However Purple probably knew they were on course to be the biggest selling album act in the world, 1973 to 74 (Billboard chart, USA), which indeed they became. They split up before hearing this however. In essence that is one of the reasons that the general culture doesn’t know how great a band they are/were. They now feel the split was due to being overworked by their management (6 US tours in one year).
Their latest album Infinite (2017) went straight to number 1 in Germany and Austria. No surprise.... the countries who gave us Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. Purple’s “Long goodbye” tour is still saying hello in a country near you. Don’t miss what may soon be gone forever.
Great guy. True professional.
the only guitar player that could replace Ritchie in Deep Purple
Agree
Joe is a class act
he was 100 percent perfect guitar player....that why he cant fit in that band....mr coverdale asked him to played in his own way that he couldnt do it...he said that he grown up with their music....of course he can do it..but it like he didnt respect for mr richie blackmore if he did it...what an honourable and humble guitarist.....i tip my hat to you sir..
Yes I have never heard to many good purple covers...
Looks like Randy from "A Christmas Story" …. Wish you stayed with Purple....
I would have stayed with DP no matter what... :-)
Machine Head was my first album a gift from my cousin Leo...not may he was that was his last name...after I tryed to blow up his basement stereo with Money by Floyd... before i learned he was a sound man a band...his stereo had no max volume or distortion..u know the cash register part at the beginning must have played bit 12 times...6 was all I could handle...next thing I know A Deep Purple machine album arrives for my birthday and Boston...I guess he figured if u like it loud try purple... hahaha... point is I started with Deep Purple and never really got away from them May lazy I just stay in bed may I'm a Leo so my first music was hard rock aka metal...on that edge... point they could do any...look at Ian in Sabbath...he was at his best...just full out Ian... something he rarely got in purple... Piece out....Joe u are so lucky...I sing and would love to step into lead if Ian was to accidentally on purpose fall down and hit his head on something...after he fell off his stool...that was an Italian joke... sorry
Why didn’t he stay with deep purple?
Yeah Joe did highway vstar and did so awesome a job but at the beginning for a couple seconds he let his sound out and it did not fit ....I was nooo...then he got to business and smoked it....and those Germans we're happy....they we're waiting to see...it was cool...when the song was over...
And now an interview with Richie and his mate EGO....
AMERICANS!! YOU DON'T KNOW PURPLE'S TWO BEST ALBUMS (because they were not "hits" in America, unlike MACHINE HEAD):
1970's IN ROCK
1971's FIREBALL
So do yourself a favor and BUY BOTH OF THOSE ALBUMS.
Machine Head is great, but NOT their best work.
in rock is good but blackmore had not got the sound right yet fireball had 2 bad tracks no one came and fools strange kind of woman was missing off the british version machine head is better than sgt pepper it was pure no tricks
@@davidhyslop3376only bad track from Fireball is Anyone's Daughter
lol this was in 1970
Professor satch
Joe is way too intelligent to be a simple rock star..
So sad Richie doesn't feel the same way about you Joe..
