Joe Satriani back

In April 2004, just prior to the release of his 11th solo album, Is There Love In Space?, guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani, set out on his most ambitious worldwide tour yet. Hitting 25 countries, playing 105 shows to over 500,000 people and logging in over 150,000 miles along the way, Satriani wrapped up this worldwide trek in May 2005 by playing to over 20,000 people at three sold-out shows in India.

Satriani has been touring in support of his latest solo-effort, Is There Love In Space? for over 12 months. The always prolific guitarist was not merely resigned to racking up miles during the last year, he was also busy writing music; the original score for the new EA NASCAR game, set to hit stores this Fall. In addition, he found time to reignite his immensely popular G3 Tour. Together with Steve Vai and John Petrucci, the trio hit Japan for a string of sold-out shows in early May. Live In Japan, featuring the three guitar hero's, will be released through Epic Records this Fall. After re-signing with Epic Records for a deal that will produce a new series of solo albums, Satriani is already set to enter the studio shortly to work on his 12th solo album, with plans for a Spring 2006 release.document.write(unescape("
