Joe Satriani reveals why he left Deep Purple

Guitarist Joe Satriani were on a live stream on Facebook where he talked to some fans and answered some questions, one of them being whether he would continue his work with Deep Purple.

“If I could, I would have continued. But they called me when my solo career was at a very interesting stage. I did not think I was delivering 100% of myself, and that’s what they needed. They were replacing Ritchie Blackmore and they needed someone who would be with them 100%. Thank God they found Steve Morse because he’s a genius. “

Satriani joined Deep Purple in 1993 when Ritchie Blackmore left the band to end the band’s tour.

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
