Joe Satriani: Wikipedia: Joseph "Joe" Satriani (born July 15, 1956) is an American instrumental rock guitarist and multi-instrumentalist. Early in his career, Satriani worked as a guitar instructor, with many of his former students achieving fame, such as Steve Vai, Larry LaLonde, Rick Hunolt, Kirk Hammett, Andy Timmons, Charlie Hunter, Kevin Cadogan, and Alex Skolnick; he then went on to have a successful solo music career. He is a 15-time Grammy Award nominee and has sold over 10 million albums, making him the biggest-selling instrumental rock guitarist of all time.
In 1988, Satriani was recruited by Mick Jagger as lead guitarist for his first solo tour. Satriani briefly toured with Deep Purple as the lead guitarist, joining shortly after the departure of Ritchie Blackmore in November 1993. He has worked with a range of guitarists during the G3 tour, which he founded in 1995. His G3 collaborators have included Vai, LaLonde, Timmons, Steve Lukather, John Petrucci, Eric Johnson, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian May, Patrick Rondat, Paul Gilbert, Adrian Legg, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Steve Morse and Robert Fripp. Satriani has been the guitarist for the supergroup Chickenfoot since joining the band in 2008.
What Happens Next:
Wikipedia: What Happens Next is the sixteenth studio album by guitarist Joe Satriani, released on January 12, 2018 through Sony Music.
Satriani consciously went in a more simplistic direction than on his previous album, Shockwave Supernova - as opposed to an alien alter ego, this time he wrote songs “about a human being, two feet on the ground, heart pumping, with emotions, dreams, and hopes. That seemed to be the direction I really was yearning for". He referred to it as an 'internal artistic rebirth' and collaborated with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes and producer Mike Fraser.
It was recorded in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with Satriani abandoning progressive elements of his last two albums and utilising a more straightforward, accessible sound he termed "pure rock and soul".
AllMusic Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine: The very title of What Happens Next suggests that Joe Satriani is opening himself up to the unexpected, and the 2018 album winds up proving this suggestion correct. Teaming with his Chickenfoot bandmate Chad Smith -- best known as the drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers -- and Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes, Satriani pivots away from the space age prog that had been his stock in trade during the 2010s, but no matter how heavy it gets, What Happens Next is by no means a straightforward hard rock album. Make no mistake, there is no shortage of loud, blistering riffs and thundering instrumental roar, but this is hardly a monochromatic album. Throughout the record there is a significant amount of light and shade, not just in how the album alternates between frenzied workouts and cool, shimmering slow tunes. Even at their hardest moments, the trio members understand the need for levity, so they'll add some space and swing to their intense instrumentals, a tactic that gives even the hardest numbers the slightest air of jazz. Satriani, Smith, and Hughes never quite play jazz -- not even a fusion variation -- but they're players who respect how structure emboldens improvisation, which is why What Happens Next winds up sounding so alive. Satriani's reversion to hard rock feels fresh because it's a players' album through and through, one that demonstrates that the skills of all three musicians are deepening with age.
