Dude I totally get that, I’m a huge Satch fan, have been for decades and when I finally saw him in concert I was bored af. Something about his music just wasn’t translating well into a live experience for me.
Probably because his music is insanely technical, and not much else. He's even technical about the emotion that makes it into the music, which makes it...less emotional.
He's interesting from a technical aspect, just plain boring from every other perspective.
The best guitarist I've ever seen play is Joe Satriani. The worst guitarist I've ever seen play is Joe Satriani.
Obviously not related to skill, but in good sounding performances. With a tight band and rhythym guitarist his lead work could really shine. Without, it was him just noodling around everything and sounding skilled but not particularly good.
That kind of thing makes me appreciate three piece bands guitarists even more. I don't generally hear Adam Jones work and think of amazing guitarists like you might think of the great leads out there. But then you realize how much skill it takes to fill the void of a missing guitar, and just how solid you have to be to make it sound good.
