Why is it all of a sudden the Best of Both Worlds Tour when he’s been playing that basic setlist for 5 years or so? They should do this one from the Montrose days: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Satriani butchering these songs. It’s a ways away til the tour but damn.. he’s not even close. You can find countless YouTube guys covering VH better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 (edited) Watching Summer Nights......yeah no. I wil keep my memories of the 5150/OU812/F.U.C.K. tours. These guys are way too old......and with all due respect to Satch who is a great player.......VH does not suit his playing nor tone. It’s just not good.

TexMike Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 IMO, the best guy to be covering for Eddie on a tribute tour would've been Nuno Bettencourt. But he's likely too busy with Extreme. Since Satch is already tight (and a former band mate) with Hagar and Anthony, I doubt they even considered anyone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
