]]> <![CDATA[20th Anniversary of Surfing With the Alien]]> http://www.epicrecords.com/rssnews It’s rare that an instrumental rock album reaches the Billboard charts and produces popular radio hits. But 1987’s groundbreaking Surfing With the Alien was able to do just that, and much more, selling hundreds of thousands of records along the way to earn a Platinum certification. Upon its release, almost overnight, Joe Satriani became regarded as one of rock’s top guitarists, finishing at the top of guitar magazine polls for years to come.

Furthermore…not only is Joe Satriani one of the most technically accomplished and widely respected guitarists to emerge, some of the top rock guitar players of the '80s and '90s honed their own skills under his instruction. He has been around the world several times on tours of his own, as well as tours with Mick Jagger, Deep Purple, and hugely successful G3 summer tours and albums with fellow guitar legends Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. He has been both artist and teacher, instructing such famous pupils as Steve Vai, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, Counting Crow’s David Bryson, and jazz fusionist Charlie Hunter.

With thirteen new songs, SATRIANI completes his transformation from stunning instrumentalist to fully-realized artist. Since the late 80's, the guitar virtuoso has been winning over fans and musicians alike with his groundbreaking style and legendary sounds.

Co-Produced by SATRIANI and Mike Fraser (AC/DC), Super Colossal features SATRIANI performing on all of the guitar and bass parts. Live drums were cut on four tracks by session giant Simon Phillips, the rest were played by Satriani's longtime collaborator Jeff Campitelli. The 13 diverse tracks on the album range from the title track's thundering, foot-stomp beat and intricately textured lead line, to the spiritual intensity of "A Love Eternal" and the raucous, party-down exhilaration of "Crowd Chant."]]> <![CDATA[Satriani Raffles Rare Guitar To Benefit Music In The Schools Programs]]> http://www.epicrecords.com/rssnews

Live in Tokyo is a DVD and double-disc CD featuring guitar legends Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Dream Theater's John Petrucci. These electrifying live performances were recorded on May 8th at the Tokyo Forum, when critically acclaimed guitarist Satriani brought his popular G3 tour to Japan for a series of sold-out dates.

Fans attending the packed-house shows were treated to individual sets by each six-stringer, followed by an evening-ending all-star jam session. The G3 tour began back in 1996 with a lineup that featured Satriani, Vai and Eric Johnson. An action-packed DVD with performance highlights was released and has since been certified platinum. In 1997, Satriani and Vai again reunited and added Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Robert Fripp to the bill. In May 1998, the tour headed to Europe where Satriani was joined by Uli Jon Roth and former Scorpions guitarist Michael Schenker. The 2001 G3 tour featured the team of Satriani and Vai again, along with Petrucci. In fall 2003 Satriani and Vai were joined by Swedish player Yngwie Malmsteen for a successful 5-week run. A live CD, entitled G3 Live: Rockin' in the Free World and a nearly platinum DVD entitled G3 Live In Denver were released on February 24, 2004.
