​@Charlie Farley I don't ride a motorbike but damn I can just imagine 👍

Stephen Campbell

Joe can write a song. And play melodic and wicked. Oh yeah.

Steven Chalos

Every song is a journey.......like the Conan soundtrack. His song titles fit the journeys perfect.

Zilnich Productions

So good. He came up with the first 2 chords when he was a teenager. He was sitting on his bed after partying all night and couldn't sleep. He didn't complete the song until he made this album. Satch is the best there is no doubt. No one else has the combo of soul,innovation,song writing,technique and heart like satch does.

dan meme

julien dauvel Nope. Buckethead does not have it like satch does.
