Joe Satriani - The Extremist (Official Video)

[@chusssMusic]

When I first listened to the music of Joe Satriani, it was the self-titled album. I was a metal-head and into heavier music. I thought his music sucked and he was over-rated. I couldn't continue listening to that tape! Then I got the extremist album (which is released earlier!) and thought to give Joe another chance! and that was it. To this dayI listened to every single track and watched almost all live concerts by Joe ever since. It is almost impossible to me to spend a week without listening at least for a few hours to Satch albums. I consider The extremist album to be the definition and an encyclopedia of the style of Joe Satriani. War, The extremist, New blues, Motorcycle driver, Tears in the rain.... All masterpieces. I am thankful this reality included the music of Joe Satriani.

[@larrote6467]

the self titled is one of my favorites though; laid back non pretentious blues; I went through my metal-head period in secondary school, but over time most of it ended boring me; still love tool, for example; but most metal is not "hard", just fast; there are a lot of harder bands with more rebellious attitudes in rock. It also doesn't help that during the 90's metal became very geeky. Still, Satriani is the only one of the virtuosos who doesn't sound like they're overcompensating for not being cool enough at school; I like most of his albums.

[@neolaciss]

It might have sucked also for you when you first listened to Satch that although his music was not as hard or as loud as the others, he's technically 100X better than your so-called Metal guItarists at that time LOL!

[@lambdaprog]

Satch educated you.

[@VangeliRock]

Well then next is Surfing with the Aliem and Flying in a Blue Dream. His first 3 were classics.

[@jasontinkler6505]

I agree with all of you! It was 'Back to Shalla-Bal' that did it for me! until then I was like the rest of you - Into Maiden, Metallica etc... Fantastic!

[@rekdinhopoetico]

Hit machine, genius.

[@pankajmahanta7493]

Still heartwarming in 2024! Evergreen song 😊

[@daleknight7472]

[@jerrychetty2524]

My favorite Joe Satriani album, 30 years now. Best instrumental album ever

[@dr.tukenstein]

[@nickrkr]

'The Extremist' in my opinion is an important part of Rock History ...it's a Milestone and this Solo Track is an perfect introduction to it... Thanks for all the Amazing Songs Joe ...the Rock world is Thankful for you 😊

[@franckrichard8077]

I discovered Joe with the Extremist album, what a blast !!!!

[@lorenamares1427]

Never saw the video to this song!❤😮

[@tonydmty1234567]

Satriani has mastered all performance techniques on electric guitar, including legato, two-handed tapping and arpeggio tapping, volume swells, harmonics and extreme whammy bar effects. Satriani is considered to be a technically proficient guitarist,and has been referred to as a guitar virtuoso. Satriani created his own recognizable style and is an influential guitarist. He has received 15 Grammy nominations.

[@skylerblack6139]

And yet he sucks in compare to Vai

[@pragmaticreaper9092]

[@cselacika]

He is a Genius.

[@gilmayer1]

He is! 🎸🙏😎

[@bacontrees]

One of my fav albums from guitar royalty.....helped me find melody amongst faster playing back in the 90's.....The Satch rules!!!

[@panhead537]

Satch is guitar god! I've been listening 2 him since I was 3!

[@patlesage1256]

In 1990 after 3 magic concerts with Joe, Stu and Jonathan for the "Flying in a blue dream" Tour...I spent 2 years wondering what Joe could make as strong and wonderful...Just 2 years after this so powerfull and so melodic album , "The Extremist" ,was avalaible and my love for this musican growing up till today...I love so many guitar player but him and few others are musiciens more than only guitar player. Since 1988 in Montreux I saw him at all his Tour and met him several times and it's not over ! See you in 2022 Master...🎼🎵🎶🎸🍀😎

[@keithsage7258]

THIS IS A JAM..

[@koonsickgreen6272]

The whole album. Magnum Opus IMO. Pure awesomeness musically, energy wise, everything.

[@nikitaprosin5022]

Slappin that bass!!!

[@tonyn3227]

One of my favorite guitarists of all time, I own all his music cds, and I listen to him all the time, just cannot ever get tired of his music.

[@TheEyeMan]

His Music Will Never Die!!!!!!

[@johanjof5613]

Long life to Joe and this best of all masterpiece album the extremist. I wish I could see him one day, but hes mostly touring in US unfortunately. This guy has never stopped to inspire me, and also impress me by his feeling. Do not get me wrong this guy has huge skills, but most notably on this album, there are not so hard stuff like we could imagine (fast licks, sweeping etc...). I have never considered Satch as a fast player or as we say "shredder". But I struggle to sound like him. Not because of his mics, not because of his amps, just because of his feeling on his 6 strings.

[@ReedHarrison]

Incredible guitar playing.joe is the best❤

[@Phakirol]

I really love how the drummer plays with the hi hat, amazing song...

[@savoirfaire8979]

Satriani kicked ass even in 1992.

[@danielhornbeck6588]

If there's a perfect Satch album, this gets my vote.

[@jerbear1601]

Well, Flying in a Blue Dream is no slouch either. I saw both tours and they were both life changing for me. Even if you can't play all or any of his songs learning some of his techniques and musicality will improve your playing greatly.

[@danielhornbeck6588]

@@jerbear1601 Flying is my other top fave Satch album. The Extremist seems more overall focused as an album, which the only reason I put it in the "perfect album" category. Ranking is silly, of course. I would loved to have seen either tour, Flying in particular. I love his live footage from that period.

[@bonscot66]

YEAH, CÓMO MOLA JOE SATRIANI!!!

[@Tonebreakfast]

So awesome, mad respect for the legend🤘🎸🔥🔥🙏

[@CastleVaniak]

The world needs more extremists like this

[@yes100yessireebob6]

Just a pure ROCK classic.....but that progression change and the solo?.....ABSOLUTELY one of the most aggressive parts, of any song ever.

[@tonydmty1234567]

Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, and some of his former students have achieved fame such as Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Charlie Hunter, Kevin Cadogan and Alex Skolnick. Satriani has been a driving force in music credited to other musicians throughout his career, as a founder of the G3 tour, as well as performing in various positions with other musicians.

[@TheBfutgreg]

Vai, Timmons and Skolnick are the best of the best there.....he taught something special for sure, although I'm sure those specific artists had the special talents anyway Too bad he couldn't teach Hammett decent vibrato....I like Metallica well enough but his solos are so hit-or-miss since his guitar is crying....but not in a good way, like an "in pain" kind of way, man can't vibrato his way out of a Guitar Center

[@backintheday3097]

​@@TheBfutgregSkolnick is an absolute beast! Those first 5 Testaments albums are freaking amazing!

[@Pej88]

El mejor video de Joe Satriani.

[@cyberbusca2009]

My personal theme. It`s always wonderful

[@lkadein]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[@genatzvalee]

Kickass theme! I love it a lot more than, say, Summer Song, for me it's even more badass and feel-good. It's awesome, so powerful and upbeat, and the "chorus" 0:50 is SO deliciously mixolydian! Bravo Joe, as always!

[@craigbutterfield592]

Joe STILL rules. No one has ever topped this.

[@MIGUELBO]

This is The Thing. Period.

[@terrycrotts2522]

And plays the harmonica! Hell yea

[@brunovallesmunoz4757]

Heared it for the first time a LONG ago in some G3 tape and finally i found it!!

[@izureiki]

The master of all times

[@brunohistoriayletras]

I was a teenager when I listened to it for the first time. This song for me is better than surfing with the alien.

[@spelzu]

I agree

[@anaflaviapincernopouza9218]

Maestro Satriani, Please Come to Brazil to perform your Fabulous Music !

[@antonioapostol1665]

This song is so 90’s!!!

Credo Satriani é sensacional 🙋

[@Deetroiter]

Doesn’t get better than that. I could close my eyes and believe it’s Eddie himself playing. I hear no difference, incredible

[@BergHiryu]

Fantástico! Eu conheci o trabalho do Joe em 2006 através de um amigo e simplesmente me apaixonei. As músicas são todas muito boas (apesar de eu não ter ouvido nada após o Super Colossal).

[@igorsiqueira3001]

Ouve o Shockwave Supernova, é fantástico

[@imglidinhere]

1:19 jesus... I'm not sure what's more badass, the solo or the fucking backing rhythm guitar! x_x

Joe is the level. Forever!

TONY he was but think age has caught up to him 80’s 90’s he ruled the guitar community

But what about Eric Clapton?? I THINK HE’S BETTER THEN THIS DUDE!!

This is the Best album of Joe, IMHO

[@fredyrocazaurus8420]

[@marcelomorem]

Satch at the top of his game!

[@bluejuice7229]

Blues harp meets shredd guitar, meets dobro meets my eardrums headbanging in 2020!

[@nikosstratakos8644]

This solo is from another dimension Makes me feel like im Flying on top of a snowy paramount then dive in the bottom and back to the sky at the speed of light. This is what a proper Musician should do with his abilities . And Joe is the best !!

[@panhead537]

Satch is not of this earth. He is a god!

[@nikosstratakos8644]

Definitely my brother 💪

[@jhoshycarmenhilariocastro4584]

Super super.... Me encanta :3

[@kigawman]

Somehow, I just shake my head by watching this music video. Good Quality with a lot of gimmicks, this should be good enough to attract audiences. MTV did made a screwed up job in de-popularizing top artists like Satch back in the 90's. Its no surprise they're doing more reality TV garbage these days rather than promoting talented musicians!

[@MrShnigglepuff]

More money in it for the recording industry to mark in clueless kids rather than pay musicians what they are worth.
