About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The Extremist lives up to its name, continuing Joe Satriani's tradition of exploring new musical and compositional ground. A vastly different array of musicians assists him in creating the songs displayed on this all-instrumental disc, and as such the songs are different from even the usual envelope-pushing Satriani fare. The chugging "Summer Song," the warm "Friends," the slamming "Motorcycle Driver," and the crunching "The Extremist" show Satriani's talents as a guitarist are undiminished, while the more traditional neo-folk approach to "Rubina's Blue Sky Happiness" and the bluesy "New Blues" are different from anything he has done before. So, too, is the droning rock of "War" and the plaintive, questioning funk-rock of "Why." Phil Carter, All Music Guide

March 17, 2004: I like all types of music from enya to metallica. Sometimes you just need to "get away" without getting lost in the lyrics. This music will get you there and back!

June 09, 2002: This is a fantastic album. My music taste is varied hip hop rap to some classical stuff and everything in between (with the excetion of country) I like anything that's 'good'. Buy this if you want to hear some exceptional electric guitar. It isn't 'metal' it's not thrash or head banging - its just amazing guitar playing.
