How could someone ever compare Joe Satriani and Queen to the early Ventures work? The Ventures were innovators......INNOVATORS!....., their music is timeless. I was a fan of Joe Satriani growing up and his music is NOT, by any stretch of the imagination, TIMELESS!!! As for Queen, they're not even an intrumental band! Comments like that are ridiculous. Early Ventures music holds up against the finest music of 60s. Cheers!
