In interviews Joe Satriani sometimes likes to give the whimsical diva. This time the guitarist presents himself quite relaxed to eclipsed, although we catch him shortly before Christmas in the middle of the preparations for the G3-US tour (with Dream Theaters John Petrucci and Def Leppards Phil Collen) and directly fall into the house with an internet rumour.
eclipsed: Joe, on Wikipedia you could now read that you joined Deep Purple again as second guitarist at the beginning of December.
Joe Satriani: Total bullshit. I guess someone had a good laugh again. I haven't spoken to the boys in ages.
eclipsed: On your new album "What Happens Next" you can hear ex-Purple-man Glenn Hughes and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot respectively - a real power trio. Compared to the plates before, everything seems more organic and reduced.
