JOE SATRIANI – What Happens Next

What Happens Next is the 16^th instrumental studio release from legendary American guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani.  Satriani’s prolific career has spanned 40 years, beginning as a guitar teacher and performer, having taught Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, fellow guitar legend Steve Vai, and numerous other high profile players.  His 1987 release, Surfing With The Alien, produced radio hits, and was the first all instrumental record to chart so highly in many years.  Satriani has contributed to many other artists work as well, including Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, and Crowded House.  He is also the guitarist for supergroup Chickenfoot, featuring Sammy Hagar, Vocals: Michael Anthony (Van Halen), Bass;  and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums.

What Happens Next features Smith on drums and bassist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple).  The record speaks for itself.  Satriani is a legend, and this record is quintessential Satriani.  Its extremely well done, well produced, and, like everything he has done, runs a gamut of styles, from very 70’s Rock to Blues and Funk, to very experimental noise, ala “Catbot”.  Fans of Instrumental Rock, Guitar, and of course, fans of Joe Satriani will enjoy this next phase in his evolution.
