Echoes Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've been obsessed with this awesome song by Joe Satriani called "I Believe". Due to the sheer pwnage of the song, I just felt like sharing it with my fellow TRF'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love joe and " Surfin" might just be the greatest shred album ever, but there was no reason for him to go this route..with all due respect for his talents of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 12 studio albums, Joe has only written 10 SONGS total that feature him on vocals. He's certainly not the world's greatest singer, but I think his vocals are great on the tracks that he does sings on. Obviously, I agree that he's at his best on the guitar, and I prefer to see his albums be fully instrumental, but his singing isn't THAT bad IMO. BTW...yes, this song kicks ass. The whole album ('Flying In a Blue Dream') kicks ass. It was the first Satch album that I ever listened to. My uncle popped it in his car stereo, cranked up 'Back To Shalla-Bal', and just like that, I was hooked. Completely blown away. Anyways...I'm a huge Satch fan, so it's nice to see some other fans around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaldad Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 i saw him on a G3 tour once . he got blown away by VAI and J.P. he really the hell out of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shifty Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 The time I saw him in about 1989, probably the Surfing tour, when he had Jonathon Mover on drums and Stu Hamm on bass was sensational. Still one of my fav concerts. The nicest thing I can say about I Believe is that it has the mighty Simon Phillips on drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely blown away. Amazing tune. As for I Believe, it's not a terrible song and I've heard it used many times on soundtracks for TV shows (usually reality shows).
