The times Joe Satriani would have liked Eddie Van Halen in the G3

Guest at the UCR PODCAST, Joe Satriani He revealed that he would always want to have the guitar of Eddie Van Halen in the G3but unfortunately he never made it to involve him.

This is what was told by the 68 -year -old US guitarist of Italian origin: “I called the number of Eddie, the office, anything.

I didn’t want to go through a nuisance, but I didn’t know him. So I couldn’t simply call his house or go to find him, because I didn’t live in the same city. I went through the official channels, I tried every way to say, ‘we will take care of everything’. Which we do, my management and I have dealt with all the technical aspects of the organization of this show. We make sure that for an artist to come is the easiest thing “.

Joe continued saying: “As for and, we have always offered him to put together a band. He could play when he wanted. He could play all the time he wanted. This was basically the structure of the show, but I never received a response “.”

Satriani eventually accepted the idea that Eddie could not be interested in joining the G3. “So, perhaps after six or seven attempts with the G3, I thought, ‘Well, it’s fantastic’. Because not everyone feels comfortable to stay next to two other guitarists every single evening. They could do it once for a special show , a charity event or something really big, but once you enroll in the G3, it is a responsibility for the public to present yourself every evening and play. “

In an interview from 2022 with Face Culture, Joe Satriani he spoke of the way of playing Eddie Van Halenexplaining enthusiastic: “Eddie’s strange thing is that sometimes it played things that had no musical sense but they had a sense in terms of how fun it was to listen to them. When you feel the whole band, think, ‘Oh, it’s really fun’ ‘ But if you learn it for note, you think, ‘has no sense’. “
