| SmileOnADog (Arizona) | Posted: Mar 29, 2011 - 12:19 Strange beautiful modal shredding, done in very good taste by a true journeyman guitarist. |

| audiophelia (Pennsylvania) | Posted: Mar 29, 2011 - 12:16 Had to take a break from Joe as too much of his stuff started to sound the same to me. This wasn't a bad Cd tho. Will have to go give it another listen. |

You have a desert like sound. (Just teasing.) I really like it, too - and something about that mysterious "Scheherazade" sort of vibe, with the major-then-minor key shifts - it's quite yummy. I still love "Summersong" the best, though...  |

At least he has technique. That's more than can be said for thousands of lame Indie guitar players out there today. |

| DoctorHooey (/etc) | Posted: Aug 20, 2010 - 06:51 Blech. This sounds like the demo music for a guitar processing unit. |

| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Jun 17, 2010 - 11:35 Not much of a fan of the guitar work here, but a little fiddling with the equalizer brings out a bottom end that's pretty fantastic. I'm too lazy to look up the keyboard, bass and drummer, but they work together very well. |

| doctec (Northeastern U.S.) | Posted: Jun 03, 2009 - 12:29 A steady diet of this kind of thing does nothing for me (and there are certainly a number of streaming feeds that cater to screaming guitar-heads if you disagree). In small doses however, such as what RP provides, it's not all that bad. |

There's been a change in the occupants of the White House since you posted that comment. Now it's all Jonas Brothers, all the time. |

Joe Satriana is a good player, but, he is WAY over rated. I know every booger eating trailer park moron thinks he is God, but, well....never mind...... I never understood this philosophy. How does balance things out work? If everyone just rated things like they truly think, wouldn't' the ratings then be properly balanced? |
| stewliscious (northGA) | Posted: Apr 01, 2009 - 06:25 Better tracks from Satriani are available |

I really thought it was a new PT track until I looked at the listings - either Satriani's been influenced by PT or vice versa, depending on who came first. An initial 6 from the Nottingham jury. |

Yeah, me too. Had never heard too much Satriani until RP started playing him recently, but his stuff seems to fit pretty well into the RP format. |
| andsoitgoes | Posted: Feb 28, 2009 - 17:39 Hmm, I'm surprised they're not putting on "If I Could Fly" with all the drama.

| countyman (pittsburgh) | Posted: Dec 27, 2008 - 13:05 Great music for bedspins, if you liked bedspins as I did. Riding the Scree, from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, was always a favorite too. |
| naviganter (Gothenburg, Sweden) | Posted: Oct 25, 2008 - 09:27 I dont like making comments on stuff that are too bad, but i cant help myself, sooo booring,,,,zzzzzz  |

Radiohead. Coma time. Come on, let's rock a bit! Re the "booger eating trailer park moron" comment: they're playing RP in the White House now?  Ok, since you made me lol I will give it a 10. And that means a lot because I was outside doing some landscaping in the front yard and got a bad sunburn on my expanding forehead, so I'm not in the best of moods. (does the White House really listen to RP?)p.s. Well, that was a waste of time, I gave it a 10 but the 'Avg. Rating' didn't budge, it's still at 5.9 |

| countyman (pittsburgh) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 17:56 This is a good song for those of us who like bedspins.  Another one is "Riding The Scree" from The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. |
| keller1 (In A Gadda Da Vida, Baby) | Posted: Sep 23, 2008 - 17:53 Once again I see the usual suspects who I almost always completely disagree with ... although at a 5.9 cumulative rating, I'm outvoted. I downloaded this after hearing it here. It rocks. Maybe we need an "RP Rocks" feed and leave Radiohead and Cake to the somnambulists. 8. |

I would be very happy if I could wank with a guitar like this! |
| schrodingersdog (California) | Posted: May 20, 2008 - 14:17 This is good. I've always like Joe Satriani since he often uses really strange chords and melodies. He can be a bit too show-offy though. |
| westslope (BC coast) | Posted: Mar 18, 2008 - 14:28 This is good. I wonder if Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree listens to this. However, parts of it sound a tad self-absorbed. Going to need a few more listens. |
| Alpine (N39d39mW121d30m) | Posted: Mar 18, 2008 - 14:28 He's got one song he plays over and over. Just like Dave Mathews. 1 |
| lattalo (Beartooths) | Posted: Mar 18, 2008 - 14:28 This is the first time I have heard Joe on RP, how nice. This is really an eclectic radio space.  |

:( Satriani is easily considered one of the best guitarists of all time...This is just awful. |
