I don't get the Satriani hate?He's Sammy's friend and pretty much the gold standard in flashy big name guitarists.Would anyone really want to see some unknown guy try and and be a carbon copy of Eddie on stage?He plays the songs with a bit of his own style thrown in just like Vai did with Roth back in the 80s.If those rumours from a few years are true he was Alex's choice too.
