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.

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.

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.

This Tape wasn't bad. Not many artists make a tape about how their album was made, so us satch fans should be really greatful. This tape is all about how the self titled album was made. I wish it was for one of his other albums, but we can't have everything. You get to see a lot of outtakes on the album, and get to see how the album came to life. A must for any satch fan collection!

I justed watched it a few times. I would like everyone to know that it is really just a documentary, and it doesnt show much shots of him playing as it does talking. I liked it however, its nothing to make a big deal over.
