Same! Fucking same!!! As a 12 year old who started listening to metal just a year ago through Rammstein; watching Joe do that on a guitar pushed me beyond the line and made me learn the guitar. 15 years and counting
2003, at the age of 10, I got G3's dvd as a gift. Used to watch it on my old Playstation 2. This song was the first one on the dvd, and my first experience watching a real guitar player doing all those tricks and techniques. Almost 20 years later I'm still here, a bit older, more experienced in music, and still amazed by all the creativity and musicality in this man, Joe Satriani.
Man, I am so grateful that I was fortunate enough to be at that very show!! G3 Live in Concert, Nov. 2nd, 1996, at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis Minnesota.
People are asking why Satriani doesn’t age. It’s because he is a very active musician, doesn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs, is stress free, and stays in shape. The man is 63 and doesn’t look a day past 40. Satriani will be touring well into his 80s, I guarantee you, and the same can he said of his protege, Steve Vai.
This G3 was by far the best one. The timing was better. 1996 was still an era where guitar was relevant to general culture, maybe at the very end of it. Eric Johnson was a great choice because he was so different from the others. Everybody used to think he was kind of too introverted, and kind of an opposite to Steve Vai and Satriani who had all this modern equipment and flamboyant attitude, whereas Eric used his vintage Strat, vintage amps, vintage pedals, and a corny haircut. I liked Eric's performance right away. That was how I got to know him, and the same may have happened to a lot of people - it exposed him to a bigger audience. I wonder if there was any friction between Eric and the others.
I have an Ibanez S too. It's a great guitar. When I was a kid watching this G3 I used to think my S Ibanez was the poor man's Satriani guitar. Turns out the Satriani one may be more expensive, but the S is a very good guitar, on the same level...and it has a mahogany body, which is a plus.
@@rafaelzengo5534 Well, it is somehow. S model came out from Satriani signature as the RG came out from after Vai created JEM with Ibanez. Despite now RG an S models have so many to choose from and even from the Japan boutique (J-craft lineups, I believe).
@@MajorFenix ...assuming you are not pulling my chain. Video Cassette - also known as a VCR. The tapes were called VHS tapes. I had a nice high quality Stereo VCR and would record from VHS to either audio tape (cassette) or minidisc.
I can't begin to imagine how many times I have listened to cool#9 over the years! Such a great tune from a great musician. On a separate issue, I can confirm that having your birthday on 15th July is, unfortunately, not a sufficient condition for guitar virtuosity.
The 1st time I've listened to cool#9 I was figuring how he Got this extreme sound ... after I knew it was a whammy 😃. .. Joe you make me dream a lot 'bout guitar You're still my NO. 1 GUITARIST
Whammy pedal, +2 octaves, I think. Cool sound :) I remember when I heard the solo in Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine the first time and went: What the hell is that? That's so cool :)
First full live concert to watch for Satriani. Live on VHS at home 1999! this song in particular is what got me hooked on the "STRANGE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC"
A great song from a great album. I find the self titled album to be the most under appreciated and his best work after Surfing, Blue Dream and the Extremist.
3:09 Almost sure that was the first ever ‘unorthodoxy ’ thing on guitar i’ve ever seen. Almost 20 years. First time i saw that, i couldn’t explain to myself what i did just watched at. Basically my introduction to the definition of ‘shredding’ stuff. Thank you Satch.
@Calon Rocker I don't think Satch is from this planet! He never gets any older looking. I've got thousands of pictures of him in concerts and classes throughout the years he always looks the same! Lmao Time to go play for awhile. 🎸
one of the best and creative music guitarist! Joe is the man! I remember when I got this record back when I was in high-school, brings back memories and this is as cool as #9!
5:40 That was a new quirky hammer-on thing I've never seen before from him. What the hell... :-) And he manage to make it fit the song... As it pretty much always does... "Crazy" Joe :-)
@@jamesyates2331 Flying In a Blue Dream sure is one of his masterpieces. Yeah, I agree, all of his albums are more or less great. I hope he will keep releasing new music.
This is the original and all these guys were at their best. This really kept me into guitar and when he did that overhand muted part which I understand more now my mind exploded!
This is one of the best concert videos / DVDs out there, I think it was the very first G3, it's crazy that the number one most replayed spot in this video is at 4:52 when he turns on the pitch shifter pedal and does that harmonic, I always thought the coolest spot in the whole concert was a little bit after 2:54 when the band stops and he does that lick by himself & the entire crowd erupts in cheers. Definitely the spot that should be the most replayed.
You guys forgot to appreciate the Bass Riffs(1:22) “du dun dun dun duuuuun...du dun dun dun dun duuuuuuUUUn” if you know what I mean. The intro though was like planted in my ears since I’ve heard this song.
So it appears that there's nothing you can't do you blow my mind away gosh if I could just like see you all the time the concert it would be I don't know the best ever I love your work
I'll never forget meeting him at the NAMM convention one year and I had a "Jimi Plays Berkeley" tee shirt on and hes says to me "my hero" and I say "well your'e mine Joe"
This is THE video that got me into playing electric guitar 15 years ago
This is the video that got me to quit trying to play electric guitar 15 years ago
This is the electric guitar that got into me in a video
Same! Fucking same!!! As a 12 year old who started listening to metal just a year ago through Rammstein; watching Joe do that on a guitar pushed me beyond the line and made me learn the guitar. 15 years and counting
me too but 24 years ago!!!!
The best version of cool #9 by far ❤

Hairs carry their own weight in life. Which is why Vai looks older nowadays than Satriani.
Respect to Steve Vai....
always amazing....

i don´t think this show was from G3... if i´m not wrong, this was at san francisco. My brother has the DVD of this show, two pieces. Awesome!!
@@rodolfodanielli5243 Isn't this the 1996 G3 released on DVD? I mean, that very first one released with Eric Johnson?
@@viniciusbertucci sorry, man! You´re right. btw, awesome concert!
Joe and Stu are such a lethal combo.
You can always count on artists like Joe and their incredible work to save us from the steaming pile of shit that is mainstream music.
Preach guitar
You can also always count on tedious comments like this disparaging working and talented musicians who produce so-called "mainstream music".
Yes! Indeed.
amen
Joe Satriani is a big part of the reason that I play an Ibanez S body guitar, instead of an RG.
I have an Ibanez S too. It's a great guitar. When I was a kid watching this G3 I used to think my S Ibanez was the poor man's Satriani guitar. Turns out the Satriani one may be more expensive, but the S is a very good guitar, on the same level...and it has a mahogany body, which is a plus.

Great Stu Hamm 😎
I still have it on DVD and CD. Great performance from a great artist whose music stands on its own
the best version of cool9..
Randy Dayal I prefer 2006

Love this concert from 96...Satch a pure master and genius musician.

Love the Satch. His playing is s-o-o-o-o clean.
He's quite phenomenal... A master at his own craft... No doubt :-)
@@antonbarkland2194 Yeah, his sweeping isn't great but sounds pretty nice.
@@aleaallee I think he’s actually
worked on it over the last few years. Check out the end of Ali Farka, Dick Dale, an Alien and Me from Shapeshifting
The first song I ever heard by Joe! What an experience!
Thank you for the memories gentlemen! Why does Satch never age?
+Calon Rocker LOL!!!
@Calon Rocker I don't think Satch is from this planet! He never gets any older looking. I've got thousands of pictures of him in concerts and classes throughout the years he always looks the same! Lmao Time to go play for awhile. 🎸
alcohol
@@icekng456 Bad guess!
because he's satch ? LMAO
He's an alien!!! And man does he rock!!!
Joe: Cool #1
On of my favourites of Satch..love the blues funk...ripping!!!
Satch never gets old just like his tones!
Joe Satriani is a master piece himself!
one of the best and creative music guitarist! Joe is the man! I remember when I got this record back when I was in high-school, brings back memories and this is as cool as #9!

My 2nd favorite JS song. So good...... This song gets me moving!
Which one is your favorite? Surfing With The Alien? Flying In A Blue Dream? :)
Anton Barkland
Blue dream. 1st place. 🏁. Lots more favorites no particular order all of Joe's music is good
@@jamesyates2331 Flying In a Blue Dream sure is one of his masterpieces. Yeah, I agree, all of his albums are more or less great. I hope he will keep releasing new music.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for these videos for over 10 years
This dvd has a very good audio...☺️👍🏻
ah I had this on V-CD! Watched it sooo many times in my teen years!
It's the greatest... that man is a gift
Full mastery of the guitar...excellent Joe.
The best G3 I've seen in my life, and that was more than 20 years ago :)
This is the original and all these guys were at their best. This really kept me into guitar and when he did that overhand muted part which I understand more now my mind exploded!
The Legend!
Never get enough of it. Every time has a new technique discover
Love you Joe!
yeah i remember. i was like OMG hes bold!!
So..much beauty in the music🤘
Wish I could play like you
