Satch

I met one of the greatest guitarists in recent times today. Even though I'm not the greatest fan of him, I was still rather stoked about it. Along with about 200 other people at Allans Music, I met Joe Satriani.



I was thinking I should've brought along my guitar to have signed, but I've only heard one album by him. I didn't have any albums for him to sign, so I got one of Darcy's albums. An album I've never heard before in my life. hehe. My conversation with him went as thus:

Me: "Hi Joe!"
*shakes hand*
Joe: "Yeah, the Extremist!"
Me: "yyyyyyyeah" *quietly*
*shakes hand and poses for photo*
Me: "Thankyou very much!"

So he is the most famous person I've met. I really hadn't met anyone famous before him. I realise I could've met Moby after his concert if I waited on the street outside Festival Hall for a couple of hours. Christ, so I could've met another bald guy. What's with that? Moby is certainly a lot more famous than Satch, however Satch has a lot more talent. So I think that's more important.

Anyway, for Satch I was trying to think of something worthwhile to say to him, but I didn't wanna make a fool of myself. He seemed rather upbeat when I met him. Nice guy. I was thinking of bands/people I wish did an instore appearance. TISM for example. hehe. But I wish I could meet Yngwie Malmsteen. Holy crap. I'd definitely get him to sign my guitar.
