What I mostly associate Satriani with, though, is stuff like this :
Which, as a bit of a KC fan, is like a more wanked and douched up version of Red. I'm sure Vai and Satriani are KC fans too, but I never thought the song needed more posey guitar wank. Maybe they don't either, but it's like the whole song becomes just an excuse to wank off together.

Satriani has always been my kind of guitar wankery.
He uses some really bad ass effects and is effortless with feeling.
And live his entire band is always amazing. Stu Hamm is one of the most respected bass players on the planet beside maybe John Patitucci and a few others. Also live more often then not he has Johnathon Mover on drums who is a total prodigy in the highest manner.
