Joe Satriani
Guitar: Joe Satriani
Band Members:Steve Vai
The Souls of Distortion
Since his guitar skills often sound like they come from another planet, its no wonder that Joe Satriani seems the ideal person to ponder "Is There Love in Space." With this release, the New York native now boasts 11 solo albums to his credit - and a staggering 13 Grammy nominations to go along with them.While even before his 1986 debut Not of This Earth, Satriani had become something of a cult legend as the guitar teacher to such future stars as Steve Vai, Metallica's Kirk Hammett, Counting Crows' David Bryson and jazz artist Charlie Hunter. Satriani has also become a hometown hero in the Bay Area where he resides, which has led to his being recruited to render the national anthem before San Francisco 49ers and Giants games, as well as for across-the-bridge neighbors the Oakland A's.
It's no wonder he is listed at No. 8 in Guitar Player Magazine's "Top 50 Greatest Guitarists Poll."
