5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, August 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Joe Satriani - Reel Satriani [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is great. It shows Satriani in the studio, recording his self titled album. It gives an insite to his song writing technique. I learned a lot from it. Its absolutely amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Studio Magic, March 16, 2000

This review is from: Joe Satriani - Reel Satriani [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you want to have a small understanding about the process of producing and recording a song, buy this tape now! There are many incredible live studio footages (complete songs). Worth to see it many times. A must for guitar players.

This review is from: Joe Satriani - Reel Satriani [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Manu Katché, one of the best drummers you could hire, is pretty much crapped on by Joe Satriani regarding his song "Luminous Flesh Giants." Manu does takes that even the producer is complimenting and Satriani, in some kind of old-man stubbornness, just cannot get past the fact Manu is not playing a boring retarded-simple 4/4 beat. He ends up firing him and the producer's SON takes over! What's VERY funny is how Manu smiles while taking criticism as if to say, "You do know I just got done yet another tour with Peter Gabriel, right?"

For musicians, the movie should be viewed as a comedy, and a cautionary tale to any musician who thinks they're too good to take advice or suggestions from ANYONE, regardless if it is their own project or not. Joe Satriani should be ASHAMED of this footage. I sure as hell would be.
