“I royally screwed up, which hurt like a thorn in my side, but I’ll get over it”: Joe Satriani says he slipped up playing Van Halen’s Mean Street on Howard Stern – but it’s taught him a valuable lesson about EVH’s tone

The Best of All Worlds band – featuring Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, Jason Bonham and Joe Satriani.

Joe Satriani recently dropped in at the Howard Stern Show with his new Best Of All World tour bandmates for an appearance that saw him tackling a grab-bag of Van Halen tricks and licks as they were thrown at him on the fly.

BoBW frontman Sammy Hagar and the presenter set the virtuoso up with some tricky sections drawn from the Van Halen catalog, and Satch did a great job of coping with the test.
