Guitarist talks band's future.

Celebrated Christmas rockers will hit the road beginning in November.

"It just seems ridiculous that we didn't do more," laments Joe Satriani.

"I think everyone will enjoy it because you'll see this band work really hard."

Band made song a live staple before recording studio version.

'Use Your Illusion II' opener remains an integral part of the band's live set, offering a resonant message.

Band chased singer's grandiose vision despite some personal ambivalence.

The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John and Simon & Garfunkel are just some of the artists covered by the Queen of Soul.

"Some people were like, 'What are you doing? You're abandoning your roots, which was not true at all."
