I don't think I've ever thought of him as a noodler -- but maybe I haven't heard enough of this music to know. I've always loved Satriani because his playing was so melodic in his songs.

Always liked “Forget Me Not.” I still think John Waite is a woefully underrated lead singer.

I really like the Chickenfoot disc – I think the one thing worth mentioning is how the Chickenfoot project presents Satriani for the first time as an actual guitar player in a band setting….it doesn't sound like a band with a virtuoso guitarist noodling in between lyrics – I'm hearing Satch in a completely different light on this album after years of being a fan of his solo stuff – I'm very impressed – I expected the opposite.

Their album isn't out yet, but I did hear four songs on their My Space page. "Kind of a Girl" and "Nothing to Me" are pretty good.

And don't think I'm slamming Asia completely. I loved many of the songs on that first album, but they kind of lost it on the second one. But I gotta give 'em props for keeping at it. Have you heard Phoenix? It's okay, but I didn't hear anything that came close to the songs they wrote on their first album.
