Surfing with the Alien was number one at the time or close to number one, while Primitive Cool was not riding that high on the charts. So you could argue that the real star was Satriani, not Brenda.
I wouldn't call his 1988 solo shows crap. That's a bit harsh. It was not something that people expected from him, perhaps.
Satriani is a skilled guitarist. I haven't listened to his playing with Mick's band closely, but as I recall it sounded alright.
Mick had a pretty good band at the time, anyway. Doug Wimbish, Bernard, Simon Phillips, Joe Satch...
