“Big Bad Moon” by Joe Satriani (Words/Music: Joe Satriani, Album: Flying in a Blue Dream, Relativity Records 1989) This has always been my favorite song by Joe Satriani. Easily. While always awestruck by his guitar prowess, this song introduced a completely different side to his playing. It was an actual song with lyrics and had a more clearly defined verse and chorus structure than much of his instrumental work released previously. This song set him aside from the other shredders who became so prevalent during the late 80s. As heavy metal grew in popularity, the guitar solo (and subsequently the guitarist) took center stage. The theory was that if a little is good then a lot would be great. If fast was good, then faster would be better. Unfortunately, there were a string of guitarists who thought the exact same way. Guitarists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Vinnie Moore, and others released instrumental albums whose main goal seemed not to be to put out interesting, catchy, and cool songs, but to provide a showcase for their “chops” and the chops of their friends. Satriani, a one time guitar teacher of such sparkling guitarists as Steve Vai (Frank Zappa band, David Lee Roth band, Whitesnake, and solo albums), Kirk Hammet (Metallica), and Larry LaLonde (Primus), hit the scene with much the same reputation: he was another shredder but one with a built-in reputation. His first two studio albums, Not of This Earth and Surfing With the Alien managed to get his recognized but Flying in a Blue Dream, powered by “Big Bad Moon”, solidified his reputation as a “real” guitarist and not some flash-in-the-pan whose songs sounded like someone playing exercises. The song itself has a driving bluesy feel and tells of a slightly paranoid man who thinks the moon is following him. Satriani provides vocals on the song (as well as a kick-ass harmonica and slide guitar) and his somewhat gravelly voice adds a sense of depth and mystery to a bad ass song. He manages to prove that a shredder CAN work within the normal song structure and as a compliment to the lyrics. While many of the guitarists of the shredder era struggle in obscurity, Satriani and his pupils have maintained their popularity and critical appeal. Satriani himself is currently taking on a new challenge: along with Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony (Van Halen), and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), he is part of the new rock supergroup Chickenfoot. Given Satriani’s versatility in both playing instruments and writing songs, hopefully the band will be able to put out more songs in the vein of “Big Bad Moon”.

Joe Satriani od listopada na europskoj turneji Nama najbliži koncert Satriani će održati u Ljubljani, a Metro portal vam uskoro poklanja nekoliko ulaznica U listopadu i studenom Joe Satriani će održati europsku turneju paralelno s izdanjem novog albuma. Nama najbliže održat će koncert u susjednoj Sloveniji 10. studenog, u sportskoj dvorani Tivoli u Ljubljani, za koji smo pripremili našim čitateljima čak šest ulaznica koje ćete uskoro moći osvojiti u nagradnoj igri! Satriani je u svijetu poznat kao jedan od tehnički najboljih gitarista u povijesti rock glazbe kojeg svi poštuju. Nakon što je snimio prvi album, "Surfing With The Alien" 1987 godine, zasluženo je primio velik broj priznanja za najboljeg solo gitarista, a bio je nominiran i za Grammyja, kao i još 13 puta nakon toga, međutim nikad ga nije osvojio. Satriani sa 14 godina dobiva inspiraciju za sviranjem gitare nakon što je čuo Jimija Hendrixa. Prvi put uzima gitaru u ruke 1970. godine i to je početak njegove velike glazbene karijere. Joe Satriani 1974. godine studira s dvojicom velikih majstora modernog jazza, gitaristom Billyem Bauerom i pijanistom i skladateljom Lennijem Tristanom. Tehnički zahtjevan Lenni Tristan uvelike utječe na Satrijanijevo sviranje. Krajem sedamdesetih i početkom osamdesetih, Satriani je bio učitelj gitare, a među njegovim najpoznatijim učenicima bili su Kirk Hammett (Metallica), David Bryson (Counting Crows), Kevin Cadogan (Third Eye Blind), Larry LaLonde (Primus), Alex Skolnick (Testament), Phil Kettner (Laaz Rockit), Charlie Hunter i Steve Vai. Međutim, istovremeno dok je druge podučavao sviranju i sam je svirao u nekoliko rock sastava. Surađivao je s Mickom Jaggerom, na njegovoj prvoj solo turneji. Satriani je svojom izuzetnom tehnikom privukao pažnju sastava Deep Purple, te 1994. godine postaje njihov prvi gitarist na turneji po Europi i Japanu. Godine 1996. osniva se projekt G3 kojeg je osmislio sam Satriani. Te godine na turneji sudjeluju Satriani, Vai i Eric Johnson. Joe Satriani i Steve Vai na turnejama koje slijede mijenjaju trećeg gitaristu pa tako s njima na veliko oduševljenje publike sviraju još i Yngwie Malmsteen, John Petrucci, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Fripp, Patrick Rondat i mnogi drugi. Prošle godine Satriani se udružuje sa Sammyjem Hagarom i Michaelom Anthonyjem (Van Halen) te Chadom Smithom (RHCP) te osnivaju grupu Chickenfoot. Njihov prvi album prošao je vrlo zapaženo, pa su od Classic Rock Magazina zaradili i epitet najboljeg benda 2009. godine. Novi album Satrijanija uskoro bi se trebao naći u prodaji.
