Believe it or not, but Joe Satriani reminds me of Steve Hackett in the way he plays.

You should definitely listen to his music first before posting your prejudice here ... Satriani IMO is the exact opposite of Malmsteen.

prejudice

noun

An inclination for or against that inhibits impartial judgment: bias, one-sidedness, partiality, partisanship, prepossession, tendentiousness. See affect/ineffectiveness, like/dislike, straight/bent.
Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular group, race, or religion: bigotry, intolerance. See like/dislike.

I just have to agree with Mike here. They are poles apart! Malmsteen plays Bach influenced Neo-Classical style! Can you hear that in Satriani's playing at all!!!

Watch G3 with Satriani/Vai/Malmsteen and see and here How different those three are!

He's quite innovative ... but Vai is more diverse. But they both have lots of soul.

Which Satriani albums do you know (not just from some mp3s, but in detail)?

Malmsteen plays in a very different style than Satriani...he is really more into sweeping style and neo classical pompous, boring symphonic metal. Satriani has a very typicall american style, hard rock with accessible, commercial, catchy melodies (he is a great technical guitarist but except his two first albums he has no feeling at all, moreover he can't play on classical guitar)

I guess you mean this song:

Tears In The Rain

I disagree with your opinion ... and I am sick of your dogmatic campaign against modern music.

Edit: I'm playing this song right now ... nice tune.

Joe Satriani is my favourite guitar player. Although I love his music, I don't think that he should be included in this site.

Vai is a lot more prog influenced than Satriani.

Do you know Flexable? Satriani never did anything even remotely as prog as that.

I agree with you guys, he doesn't sound like Malmsteen or Moore (and yeah, there's a hint of Hackett in there), but I don't think Greenback meant anything wrong here, he did say he likes Satriani a lot.

He's not really prog though, more than Malmsteen, but less than Vai.

I love Satriani, maybe even more than Vai, but he's definitely not Prog for me.
