most of us here dont like satrianis style. but he is a big rolling stones fan and he really adores mick jagger!
i also had the chance to interview him once, and of course i asked about the mick tour. he said to me "mick was the sweetest guy you can imagine and such a pro!" but just check out the vid.
As much as I think Brenda can be a moody prick, I don't doubt for one minute that Mick is the nicest guy in the world to the musicians he works with in situations like the one with Satriani.
Now if your someone like Bobby Keys or Ian MacLagan, who's there for an extended time and is a boozer that distracts Keith or Ronnie, then it might be a different story.
attended release party for one of his records and we were really impressed with his kind soft spoken manner. a gent with charlies grace in a way. kind of old world respectful and very non-narcisstic guy. we kinda HAD to attend for biz reasons and not being a shredd admirer well we were delighted he was so low key and sweet. very astute nice guy was our impression. this i.s nice to see here thank you. im sure as was said above that mick dosent intend to b a jerk...for sumone so assertive and emotive onstage he seems uptite insecure in interview. defensive even.
