I reckon a lot of guitarists are going to be severely pissed when I mention this, but did anyone see him in Musician Inc. today? He was in at 5, coulda been either a meet & greet or a watch him play guitar up close. Not sure.

Thephantomsmask · 22-05-2008 11:23PM

I am, can't wait! Ordered t shirts for myself and 2 friends which were posted over a week ago from the UK. I'll be majorly disappointed if l don't have it for tomorrow night but it's looking unlikely that l will. I just received the shirts

I only heard of it cos I popped into Musician earlier in the week, they totally should have spread it more but from the looks of it Musician had nothing to do with it except for being affiliated with Ibanez, so I doubt they really cared too much. The guys who work there don't seem like they're Satriani heads...

feylya · 23-05-2008 11:01AM

Oh ffs, I'm sitting about 20 feet from Musician Inc

Anyone up for a pre-gig beer?

18AD · 23-05-2008 04:35PM

Whey! I can't wait for this. 20 minutes to the end of work!

Pre-beers are a given.

Yes.
AD.

feylya · 23-05-2008 04:52PM

So, where for beer? Bull and Castle with grub?

ShawnRaven · 24-05-2008 10:54AM

I was there, amazing gig. Think he played for over 2 hours, my feet were killing me afterwards. Second row job. Waited for months for this gig to happen. Wasn't disappointed.

For those who didn't make it, go to the next one, he's always coming over every few years.

judas101 · 24-05-2008 11:26AM

went expecting to get a bit bored towards the end but have to say he held my attention the whole way through.

stu in the man.

I thought they played Crowd Chant and Summer Song as the encore? I was a litte out of it though.

feylya · 24-05-2008 01:12PM

Aye, Summer Song then Crowd Chant. I didn't know must of the new stuff though. Some fecker in front of me was handed a pick by Stu.

Voodu Child · 24-05-2008 02:12PM

Awesome gig

rusty-james · 24-05-2008 05:12PM

great gig i have to say./ the guy sis a legend. if i wasnt standing at the back in the blistering heat two foot shorter than everyone else i would have really enjoyed it.

ps, the "cover" he played was "with a little help from my friends" yes?

Pedrospuds · 24-05-2008 06:06PM

did anyone else notice that Stum Hamm's bass solo consisted of "Going to California" by Zeppelin?

Class gig , I left a happy man

feylya · 24-05-2008 06:22PM

I couldn't remember what Zeppelin song it was.

Did anyone check out the support?

Voodu Child · 24-05-2008 06:53PM

Yeah, he introduced himself as Sideshow Bob...havent googled him yet to see who he is. He played blues/rock type stuff on a fretless upside down (lefty) strat type guitar. Was pretty good alright...and his bass player was the most grin-iest, happiest dude i've seen in a while

It was a good act alright, never got any pics of him though.

feylya · 24-05-2008 07:09PM

Damn it, I just arrived as they were finishing. By the time I got a drink, they were gone. Ah well.

Voodu Child · 24-05-2008 07:47PM

At least you didn't miss Paul Gilbert :pac: Damn shame he wasn't opening for Satch over here

A lot of guys who went to the UK shows said Paul was so awesome he took a lot of the impact of Satch away :eek:

Ah well, he's playing here in November but it's a MCD venue so that's about all I can say..

feylya · 24-05-2008 08:13PM

I already have my ticket for that event

galwayrush · 24-05-2008 08:42PM

I am so pissed off not being to make the Gig.:(

feylya · 24-05-2008 08:44PM

We might play some Satch for ya the next time we're in Galway

Saoirse101 · 24-05-2008 09:03PM

Y did people Boo Stu?

feylya · 24-05-2008 09:05PM

We didn't. We were saying Stu.

Saoirse101 · 24-05-2008 09:07PM

The people be side me were booing Stu..5 lads

feylya · 24-05-2008 09:14PM

Are you sure? It's pretty tricky to differentiate. Although, maybe they thought that was what was done...

No they weren't, they were "stuuuuu!"ing him. It's an ongoing joke for years. It can also be heard on the San Francisco DVD, where Satch says "They stu him because they love him".

He even acts all pissed off when it happens, just to show that he's in on the joke. Trust me, we were all doing it too up the front.

The Support act's name was Ned Evett if i recall correctly.

feylya · 24-05-2008 09:34PM

Did anyone see the roadie running on stage to remove Stu's kneeling foam after the bass solo?

Praetorian · 24-05-2008 09:48PM

God damn! Why didn't someone tell me Joe was coming to town!
