See you in hell
We’ve reported last month that Glenn Hughes contributed vocals for the new track I Wanna Play My Guitar by the new band started by Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, appropriately called the SatchVai Band. Well, it has occurred to someone that both Black Country Communion and the SatchVai Band are booked to play at the Hellfest in France on the same day this year — Saturday, June 21. This question was posed to Satriani in a recent interview:
Finally, the SatchVai Band dates take in Hellfest, and I couldn’t help but notice that Glenn Hughes who sings on ‘I Wanna Play My Guitar’ is on the bill with Black Country Communion the same day; might you coax him on stage to join you?
Yes! Yeah, we’ve already talked about it, and I was just texting Jason [Bonham]. It’ll be a great coming together of a lot of good musician friends, our circle. And yeah, Glenn already, boy, I think a month ago we already started talking about it, so yeah, hopefully it works out, timing-wise. I haven’t seen our schedule yet that day, but we will be playing that song, and Glenn has been officially invited to come out and start the set with that, so hopefully it all works. Festivals are crazy, and we have to play a short set that day. As I’ve said before, you’ve got to get on, you’ve got to get off, so we’ll see what happens. Fingers crossed on that one.
Thanks to eonmusic for the info and to BraveWords for the heads-up.

For a minute, I thought you were referring to Hell, Michigan. They have bumper stickers that say “Hell’s a great place to be,” that kind of thing.

I don‘t see any insurmountable logistical obstacles unless Glenn falls off the stage during the BCC set, so consider his guest spot with SatchVai done …
