I'd love to give this performance 10 out of 10 but I cant. Its not because of Satch. He was everything I expected and more. In fact he was amazing. The reason I give it an 8 is because the concert was so badly organised. It took at least an hour between each act and the concert was finally broken up by the police at 4 in the morning (It was scheduled to end at 1!). The only reason I went to the concert was G3. I play guitar myself and i look up to people like Satch, Vai and johnson. Because of awful organisation I didn't see the three of them Jam together...Evening ruined. Fair enough I saw them individually but to see them together was my aim. Not only that but Satch played 2 songs before he was literally kicked off stage. Nevermind...Satch was good, and if I had the oppurtunity I'd definately go and see him again. Alright, thinking about it I'll change my score to 9 because he played Flying in a Blue Dream...Nice one

I think Rentak Asia should call back G3 to perform in KL another date and give a resonable "discount" for the last "Rentak Screw-up Asia Concert" audience. Only this time, G3 ONLY please... If they(organiser) screw up again then they should think of doing some other bussiness... bukak kilang kicap pulak kot? MALAYSIAN Fan unite! Long Live Satriani! Long Live G3!!!!

First of all, i wanna say this: Joe, Vai, Eric.... you guys did really GREAT!!! I am a big fan!. Although that night was a big dissapointment, well, at least we got to see the three of you great guitar heroes on stage. About the organizers and the police, i am not gonna start with this... pisses me off! Anyways, hmmm.... i will not forget that night where you guys performed on stage, ... but i'll forget the event! hahaha.... Oh yeah! One more thing, Satriani, you have a really cool website!

ok, the rank of 10 is for joe,vai and eric and not for rentakasia. This was the best opportunity for G3 to reunite and guess wat. I guess u all know this already. The first time i heard G3 through a CD, many many years ago..i couldnt even recall when, i dream of them to come and then i heard of the g3 split of eric johnson. It hurts to hear that but when the rentak asia concert came to light,i was so darn happy that its the "real" G3 coming. The nite turned bad because of the organising and also malaysian authorities who are already famous for spoling the fun(people in malaysia knows very well). i dont really mind and i think the crowd in the stadium won't either that the concert went on to 7 or 8am. The much hype of KL as an entertainment city aint so now i think, and its obvious. i am a malaysian and i dont like to say this but i did. I am so sorry that it happen to joe and g3. I hope G3 (joe,vai,eric) will be back. infact i wish it will be back. G3 pls be back..as for rentakasia organisers dont ever organise any event if you all aint sure how to organise an event be it big or small! and i think everyone is still waiting for a public explaination from you guys!

Joe was great even though he performed 2 songs before he announced that he had to stop. Here's his exact word that night"I'm sorry but it seems like the police have shut the concert down" The crowd went crazy. Anyway, it's the organizer who should be the one to be blamed. Joe started off with Flying In The Blue Dream around 0400hrs.............that's the reason why the poloce had to stop and shut down the concert. Hopefully Joe will be willing to come back to Malaysia and finish off the concert some other time. -MON-

satch! i have nothing to say except sorry. this apology is on behalf of your fans and definitely not the organisers. we're sorry for the bad reception you had at bentley music, how they refused to allow you to talk to us, to sign our guitars and take pictures. we're sorry that you never got to play your set and also not being able to have the G3 reunion. well, this is how disorganised most malaysians are! i am so sorry about the whole scenario and i hope that you will still come back here to play one day! we love you and your music! and for all the fans, i think we should unite as one and get our money back, and then a full explanation from rentakasia and that ariana teoh!

I guess everyone can tell how it went down. I just wanted to say that its really shitty that they couldnt let him finish his set at least. It would have been another 15 minutes more - but they could let All 4 One take 1 hour to set up and sing for 30 minutes more than they were alloted. Irony.

Anyway, Joe's playing was amazing before they stopped him and I really hope to be able to see more one day. Hope you come to Singapore, Joe! :)

By the way. the Rentak organisers address is:

5A Jalan Wan Kadir 2 60000 Taman Tun Dr Ismail Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Instead of just bitching about it, take the time to write a letter and get them to move their asses about the situation. Let's just not accept it and make a stink instead.

You know what? My best friend is a bloody big fan of Joe... & truthfully.. I've never heard any of his songs... *Go ahead... shoot me!* Still, when she found out about Joe coming to KL to perform, she was like totally excited about it.. & that was like in September... I called Rentak Asia & Access & bugged them DAILY till the very day the tix were sold, to know when the tickets will be out so that I could surprise my best friend with the tix to see Satch play... I was intrigued to see for myself how good the maestro is... I, in my right mind didn't buy the tix to see the lousy line-up Rentak Asia had.. I busted 360 bucks for my friend & I to watch Satch, G3 & of course the individual line-ups for Steve & Eric... only for it to turn out to be a bloody disappointment. What do I suggest? I think it would be in everyone's best interest if Mr. Joe Satriani came back to Malaysia with G3, if possible to perform again. And this time only Mr Joe Satriani on stage please.. We don't want to listen to some stupid-don't-know-who, wasting their time trying to promote some stupid album that probably will never sell anywayz... ESPECIALLY if they came from Postive Tone.. (Excluding Poetic Ammo - they sell!) Come back Joe & I'd go out immediately to buy 2 tix AGAIN.. EVEN if it costs up to $500 a piece.... at least I'd know it bloody hell will be damn worth it! Btw, WHO actually listens to Amir Yusoff.. BLACK MARIA?? What the hell is that??!! RAMLI SARIP??? Oh Shit! GET REAL, MAN! He STILL exists??! whatmore was asked to perform some more! I think Rentak Asia would have been better off asking Siti Nurhaliza, Sheila Majid or KRU for that matter to perform than those has-beens don't-know-whos!

My ranking? I would have given it a 10, ONLY because Joe had agreed to join this Rentak Asia thingy.. BUT Joe was cut-off... so I'd have to cut it to a 2... cause the organizers weren't disciplined enough in their timing... well, looks like they now have to bear the consequences with Joe's fans... It's gonna be an ugly picture, I'm sure.

Well, I guess this was a pretty disappointing gig, especially since this is the first and probably only time we'll ever get a chance to see Joe, Steve and Eric play. I found out through reliable sources that the reason the police showed up was because the shithead residents nearby was complaining about the 'loud noises from the stadium'. I think that the organisers of Rentak Asia did their best, since we all know that Malaysia have this "everyone must go back at 1 am" thing, yet the concert was allowed to progress until much later. I can imagine the riots that would have happened if they closed the show before Mr. Satriani played!

Anyway, I'm begging to Joe, please come by again! I think I speak for all the Malaysian fans here when I say we'd just die to see you perform here again! Thanks for coming and hope to see you again!

Joe did a splendid and spectacular appearance eventhough the schedule was a complete havoc! It was worth waiting for hours in the rain just to hear the tune from heaven. I could see the face of satisfaction from the audiences when Joe appeared with his Chrome Boy and let his fingers dance on the fretboard....the tune was "Flying In A Blue Dreams". The Rentak Asia organizer sucks! The police stopped the concert halfway. They did not even gave us any explanation nor to mention apology.... If you choose to turn up to a concert, FORGET ABOUT RENTAK ASIA! They just mess up everything. Joe was very cool in handling the situation.....well done JOE..... hope to see you somewhere else with Steve and Eric! Rank : Joe = 10 Rentak Asia Organizers = -10

Hey any Rentak Asia Organizer: EAT THIS SHIT!!!

No one humiliates The G3!!!!

i am a guy going to watch the G3 performance from HongKong. it is really disppointed to organizer's ability!!! they make the show a international event and selling ticket to oversea. but, just letting the locals to perform. why don't cut few songs from them? especially, the ramlbi ..., the organizer let them to play 1.5 hrs! but, joe can't even start his third song. i would respect to local artist. however, G3 is invited from oversea and the most selling point of the show. how can they start the G3 session at 1pm? (official end time is 1pm...) really bad!

anyway, it is experience to me as it is first time watching them. we met G3 next day after the show in airport. i think it can be treated as a compensation to us. ps. just found out that ian said 'fat ass indian' have no repect to joe. really! he have no reason to stop the show while joe playing. very bad! shit!

Yo Joe,

To be humuliated by a Fat Ass Indian and the Chinese Nobody is a Major Disgrace! Don't be associated with them.. I am damm pissed when the Chinese Nobody came up on the stage and said "Hey Be careful ok!! I Don't want to take this too personally!!" I feel like whacking the shit out of him. The poor planning by the organisers who let idiots like RAMLI SARIP (Who has played more than 3 slots) to come on stage is very nerve wracking indeed. Btw FTG, Black Maria, Alex Peters and Amir Yussoff.....u know wat?? U guys are a JOKE!!! I am sorry for u Joe to be associated with this bunch of losers especially Ramli Sarip who thinks that he is headlining the RentakAsia Concert. Joe, I am representing all the fans in Malaysia to plead with u to comeback and play and show the Fat Ass Indian Motherfooker how to properly organise a concert. As for the Chinese Nobody Asshole, we the Fans will take it personally when we meet you next time...

Yo Joe, when I saw u play, I was like flying in a blue dream.Satch boogie was rocking untill that fat ass and chinese mother fucker came out barking around! You gotta come back and put the leash on that Bitch (Chinese Nobody)!! As for Mr Fat ASs Indian who is a coward and a person with no respect!! How can he walk in the middle of a song and has the decency to ask The Guitar God to stop. You know what he said?? The Fat Ass Indian said " Sorry, pls bear with us" and then just walked off without any explaination. This Is a Big Joke!!!!

Anyway ......The Bottom Line is....Who's the Man??? Satriani will always be the Man!!!! Ciao!!!

Ian Malaysia

Ps; Pls come back and conduct a concert or a clinic.. Thanks man!!

this is yet another statement of regret and a million apologies from a big malaysian fan to joe. the whole music festival was a major screw-up on the second day (21st). The show started an hour late, a local band was given 3 slots to play and a has-been a cappella group was given a whole lot more time than allocated to perform (that was a major turn off). i definitely can't forgive the police for cutting off joe's performance after his 3rd song. it was a bloody show of disrespect towards joe (come on...ur talking about satriani here....not some bullshit all-4-one freakshow). the ironic part is that this is coming from malaysia which is known to have a bunch of curtious people. MALU SIAL JADI ORANG MALAYSIA!! damn....i stayed in the stadium till 5am to grasp the reality of the situation. anyway, joe....we're really sorry that this happened. totally undeserved. but please do come back.....please put all of this behind you and perform again here. you know that you are loved down here. a major inspiration to a lot of people including myself.

This is the worst Satch gig...eva! Coz of the F**CKING ORGANISERS!! no other comments coz im tired of thiking bout that...all i know that Satch played his new number so very masterfully. and its an honor to be there and see him do that. i was at the front row. The gig had to be called of when Satch was playing his 3rd number. One of the organisers official have the guts to walk to Satch and tell him to stop....it was obvious that he was not satisfied..but he did say he is sorry to the crowd and there's nothing he can do about it.....and he did mention that he'll be back....and Joe....please do.
