Joe Satriani live in SF question...

Why does everyone boo Stu Hamm whenever possible? I met Stu along time ago and he wasn't very nice....was this not just a case of having a bad day? Or is it something else??

They aren't booing him they are stuing , i.e. yelling "STU".

As Joe says on the dvd: "They Stu him cos they love him!". Stu has a reputation as being a really nice guy, so I daresay when you met him he was having a bad day.

Personally, I think some of the people in the crowd were "stu"ing him, and others thought they were booing(or have no clue about Stu. lol) and joined in with the wrong thing.

Just a theory of mine.

Like Lou Piniella at Yankee Stadium, the chants of "Lou" used to rock the house

It's definatly supposed to be "STUUUUU STUUUUU" but i think some sheep got the wrong idea

Whatever it is, for the uninformed, it really brings the mood down in the middle of a beautiful solo

I think those 'in the know' were Stu'ing him, while everyone else were booing him because they thought everyone else were lol...

Its the same here in England, with Manchester United - whenever Ruud Van Nistleroy scores a goal, all the supporters shout 'Ruuuuuuud' and it sounds like they are booing him. Great fun though!
