One of my other Guitar heroes since 1992 Joe Satriani pointed out on Twitter that he likes the album very much

Not a surprise, it's well known that he is a Jimi fan, but as for Mark's album, yes quite surprising

Saw him live in 94, only recently did i manage to pick my jaw up again
the man is a monster, but with an amazing touch, unlike the shredders.
i liked, commented and retweeted. we should all. wonder if mark heard about this.
will leave this here...prolly my favourite live song (on the Time machine live recording it is even better)

Killer live song

@Border_reiver: i do not get it...whose friendship? Marks or Joe's? andi f Mark, what does that have to do with Joe?
Post by: border_reiver on January 09, 2019, 03:11:52 PM
from his later work i also really like "light years away" which has an amazing soulful solo roundabout 05:04 into the song.
@Border_reiver: i do not get it...whose friendship? Marks or Joe's? andi f Mark, what does that have to do with Joe?
It was just a poor joke. Sonny and Joe have collaborated in recent years and it was just my loony opinion that Sonny therefore must have introduced Joe to MKs music. I would never imagine that someone who plays JS's style of music could be into MKs music.
Irony is tough. Bad jokes even more so. Please forgive me. ;D

Tears in the Rain - An acoustic/classical guitar piece.
Always With Me, Always With You - Good guitar sound and good melody
Flying In A Blue Dream - As above
But even with the last two above he can't resist going a bit mad in the middle of it!!!
Saying all that Mike Oldfield is in my opinion the greatest composer and player of instrumental music.

I am not into shred music at all, mostly because there is no emotion and feeling in it,
I think that is wrong. Just because shredders play fast, loud and at a very high technical level doesn't mean they don't put any feeling in it. It's just a very different approach than minimalistic players, such as Mark, have. Look at jazz - some like frenetic, wild bebop, others like the more subdued, minimalistic modal jazz. It all comes down to preference, and there are 'bad' shredders who only play technical exercises, and there are 'bad' minimalistic players. And God knows Mark has played his share of half-hearted, lazy licks where he's just going through the motions, relying on muscle memory. The riff and solo in Nobody Does That comes to mind.

I have never heard any shredders who can touch Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Mike Oldfield for feel.
Again, I think it says more about your preferences than anything else. For the record, I don't like shred music at all, but I refuse to believe every shredder only cares about playing 'scale exercises' at 300 bpm. A guy like Steve Vai, for example, whose style and persona I am not very sympathetic to, it's clear he puts his heart into his playing. It doesn't move me one bit, but that's just because of my preferences.

Satriani is far more than a runner, he's very good creating melodies for his songs, it's not just running, it's playing something meaninful.
I totally understand that Satriani likes MK music, he's a musician after all.

I agree, it sounds artificial to my ears when they try to. I can't bear it.

This guy emerge from the 70's/80's Hard Rock, it's obvious that he would be a shredder. But he has great melodies and great songs.
He is a musician, not simply a shredder.
His best album, in my opinion, is Joe Satriani from 1996.
It's a killer album.
Post by: Darling Pretty on January 10, 2019, 08:39:51 PM
It is a Killer album.
Drums: Manu Katche (on every Street)
Rythm Guitar: Andy Fairweather Low (Eric Clapton)
Bass: Nathan East ( Eric Clapton)
Lead Guitar: Joe Satriani. That's what I call a Top Notch Band.
Extremely cool songs and Live Sound on this Album. I love it
Does everybody retweeted Satch's Tweet or liked it?
Post by: Rolo on January 10, 2019, 09:00:44 PM

Although Joe Satriani is not my 'type of artist', I still prefer him over for example Joe Bonamassa. Satriani's style is kind of true to his genre, whereas Bonamassa goes into shred mode when playing regular blues songs.

Bonamassa is a great player, but plays the same lick on every song.
He is a very nice chap, but i cannot listen 20min of his songs.

Agree. Extremely good guitarist, great tone and gear, but he just can't restrain himself. I've heard several songs where the solo is really controlled and with lots of feeling, then suddenly he has to throw in those extremely fast runs and use heavy-metal-style vibrato. So irritating. He also doesn't have a lot of good songs, in my opinion, but there's no doubt he's a very good guitarist.

Totally agree. It takes a great skill and talent to know not to play 10 notes when one will suffice.

I downloaded Joe Bonamassa's concert from the RAH 2009. I enjoyed it up to a point, but then it became so boring - everything began to sound the same! I have tried a few times, but I'm afraid he is just not for me. John Henry and Sloe Gin were the best songs.
Joe's best album, for me, is the 'British Blues Explosion'.
The '3 Kings' concert is very good too.
He does some great covers, but i tend to dislike his original material.
Post by: Darling Pretty on January 15, 2019, 05:36:13 PM
Oooh Joe 'Kermit' Bonamassa, now we're talking. Great guitarist with some amazing songs and I just love his playing...would love to see 'The master and MK together after all Joe does like MK....
Yes. he seems to like his Strat Sound from Sultans.

I like Joe very much. Saw him around 20 times now.
Blues of Desperation is his best album.
His Band features Michael Rhodes from Golden Heart on Bass, Anton Fig on Drums and Reese Wynans from Stevie Ray Vaughan on Keys
so a Killer Live Band. It is the best Band around just after Mark's. That is for sure.

Between Bonamassa and Satriani I’d take the first italian for sure. I’ve tried to like Satriani, I even bought the silver surfer album about 20 years ago, but every time he starts to throw meaningless notes and noises in the air it turns me off so badly I just feel like listening to Brothers in Arms again for the 2.497th time.Fake news

As for guitar players, I like so many from classical music to jazz and pop to metal, maybe for different reasons, but all in all because they make the song or music piece better or even unique.
