I've just come from
Joe Satriani show in Seattle. I'm VERY disappointed. Don't get me wrong, Joe was great, but I couldn't hear a damn thing! The bass and the drums were SO FRIGGIN' loud, all I could hear was ringing in my ears! Because of this ringing Joe's guitar was barely audible, and when audible it sounded like it was completely out of tune (it wasn't, it just sounded this way due to excessive volume).
Gone home in the middle of the show. To all gigging artists on this board: do a f@#$%ing soundcheck before you play!
And don't ask cheesy
fretless guitar players to warm-up the crowd for you. The fretless guy who played before Joe was just AWFUL.
