Nasty Nick Cotton is wearing a Joe Satriani T-shirt.
I can’t imagine Nick Cotton having even a remotely sophisticated taste in ANYTHING, so I assume he pinched that T-shirt from a charity shop - the rotter!
Joe gets 5ft7.5.

In regards to John Petrucci height, because there is people talking about his height with Joe Satriani and he is one of the guitarists that gets invited to G3. He is actually my favorite guitar player and he is my favorite band of all time Dream Theater.
Though back to height I think he is possibly anywhere between 5’8 1/2 and 5’9 1/2 if you look up a picture of him next to Geddy Lee from Rush he is 5’10 on this website eyelevel wise his eyes are just over Petruccis eyebrows though head wise Geddy is only a hair taller. So Petrucci being 5’11? I don’t think so there’s pictures of him in albums and proportion wise he looks like a guy that would be my height and I’m 5’8 7/8ths just about 5’9 though again there’s guys I met who have same proportions as myself and be 5’11 so who knows.

I met Joe in Manhattan....I'm 5' 9.5", and he is a pixie, much shorter than I am....Joe is about 5' 5", I would say...definitely not 5' 7.5"...

Oh, the miserable of a bad back! Bah!
I can't see guitarist Joe handing out cra* facts about his height somehow! He's a musician and that's what matters to him, not fabricating his height! I've never seen him as a great, big, tall man and he doesn't profess to be. But a great guitarist? You bet!
Joe gets the 5ft7.5 he says he is!

I agree, Jake E. Lee is an excellent guitarist, but he didn't seem above 5'7" or so to me a few years ago. He did have a bad back at the time so maybe he shrunk, or that made him seem shorter.

Jake walked right past me at the Alrosa Villa in 1993 when he was in Wicked Alliance with Mandy Lion. He was wearing boots with heals and looked 5'10" Without the boots he is likely 5'8" or 5'9" More importantly a great guitar player!

He's only 8 years younger than my dad but he has such a baby face. When he wears a hat without the shades he looks like a big kid! He's such a wonderful person though, very gentle and humble, not to mention one of the most technically proficient guitarists on the planet. I wish he'd venture more into jazz fusion with less crazy effects though. A lot of his compositions tend to have the same recycled Hendrixy type of licks which is cool, but speed and blues isn't everything at times it can get a bit boring. I'd like to see him ditch the effects and play a jazz guitar for a bit with some tasty chords and runs.

He doesn't look that low Brad. He looks 5 ft 9 in big footwear on the 2001 DVD. I've seen him in sneakers next to guys like Gilbert and co and he looks nearer 5 ft 8 than 5ft 6.

I have the 2001 Live in 'cisco video and I actually thought proportionally he looked like a 5 ft 9 guy in it. I was surprised to see he was as low as 5'7.5". But I guess he has an alien like large head which gives the impression of a taller guy and he was also wearing space shoes which looked pretty clumpy so probably is 5'9" in them.

Met Satch back in 1989 and took a picture with him. I'm 5'10" and he was much shorter than me. I think 5'7" is a stretch. One of the nicest rock gods I've ever met. Stu Hamm and Johnathan Mover were awesome guys too.

Im pretty sure that joe is at least 5'11, because I saw him in a rig rundown with Rebecca Dirks. Rebecca is around 5'5, And he was a lot taller.

Eh no Gabriel, I believe Jim as what he says about them is very accurate. Petrucci looks close to 5 ft 10 and Satch does have huge hands and can reach some really huge stretches in his playing. Both are super nice guys.

Paul Gilbert has the proportions of a guy near 6'6". Lanky. 6'4 legit and skinny which can make him look 6'6" at times.

Yeah 5'9.5" for Petrucci looks about right. Paul Gilbert looks 6'3.5"-6'4" I think.

Petrucci is just shy of 5' 10". I met him in 2004. I am 5' 11" (on a good day!) and he wasn't that much shorter. Satch's claim of 5' 7" is about right. Met him @ Guitar Center Meet and Greet. He's got massive hands for a guy his size. They're both very cool in person; very down to earth.

Doug Aldrich and Justin Hawkins have the 5'11" Rock Star syndrome which make them look at times 6'2" at least..

5'11" for Aldrich does seem about right but for sure his rake thin build and long hair makes him look over 6' from certain angles.

No way Satchy. Petrucii is stooped way down. When he stands up straight he's easily two inches taller than Satch/ In fact I think a legit 5'10" is fair for Petrucci. And looks around 15 stone range nowadays.

Actually watching Satriani and Petrucci I doubt he is under 5'10". He looks a good three inches taller than Satriani.

I think maybe Vai is the 6' he is listed at. Surprising as he seems to look 6'2" range most of the time.

Only thing is Vai does not look 6'2" in comparison to Satriani in sneakers, in fact he looks to have footwear advantage too and doesn't look over 6' .You may maybe Vai is 6' flat but because of his rake thin build and gaunt face it gives off a 6'2" illusion. Because generally I thought Vai was 6'2" range.

Doug aldrich is just as tall as I am -- I'm 5'11" I know, because he was kind enough to pose for pictures and sign autographs at the airport. I've got a photo with him, real nice guy, while Coverdale himself was pretty unfriendly. Coverdale is taller than Doug Aldrich, he's at least 6'

I wasn't sure about 5'8" for Doug Aldrich either; he's definitely not mega tall, but I've seen him live a few times and I didn't think he looked that much shorter than Coverdale, who's listed as 5'11" (more or less). I would have put Doug at around 5'10" - but hey, even if he is short, he's still the hottest thing on two legs...

I don't think Steve Vai is any taller than 6 ft. Actually , I'd think he is a strong 5 ft 11.( or ,181.5 cm or so) He's really really thin which makes him look much taller than he is. Also, he usually is on-stage which makes him look even taller.
And above all that, he usually wears chunky heels, 2 inch heels I think usually, so he looks 6 ft 3 or more many times. And yes, he appears even taller when around Satriani and Petrucci.
Yngwie Malmsteen stated in some interview he was 6 ft in his late teens. I think Malmsteen is nothing taller than a strong 6 ft. Of course, the stage and monster heels make him look very tall, and also small guys like glenn might then miscalculate the height because of the great difference bitween them.

I met Mike Portnoy and he definitely was NOT 5'10" like listed on his official website. More like 5'8." I wonder why he would exaggerate THAT MUCH though.... I also met John Myung who was almost my height (I'm 5'10") but he was wearing boots, so he's probably a good 5'7" or a bit over.

Yeah, Doug was in House Of Lords and other Los Angeles bands that released albums like Lion and Hurricane. I would have guessed he was tall, but then again anyone looks tall next to Ronnie James Dio. I've met Dio in person and even I felt really tall next to him and I'm a weak 5'8".

Dunno who you are thinking of Glenn. But I'd estimate him to be a solid 6 foot, he is definately way taller than 5'8". David Coverdale is about 6' and I thought Aldrich was a little taller. Have you ever met anybody from Lynard Skynard? Is one of the guitarists called something like Ricky Medlock? isn't he one of the guitarists always looks in the tall range, I heard hes 6'1", looks 6'2" to me, perhaps its his slim build.

Google image Keb' Mo'. He looks a tall guy to me, 6'2" at least. Judging in comparison with the balding bearded guy on the site I said about, Aldrich is no lower than two inches shorter that Keb Mo in comparison.

Glenn there is also a picture of same guy with Keb' Mo'. Any idea how tall Keb' Mo' is? He looks around 6'2" to me. If so, Aldrich is around 6' around judging in comparison to that guy. Could you check these heights out for me?

Google image Doug Aldrich at mysite.verizon.net (you'll have to show me how to use tiny url as I don't know how to!) . There is a picture of him with around 4 inches on the guy standing next to him. DOug is slouching so is about 3 inches taller but if he stood up straight 4 inches. Surely the guy next to him is not only 5'4? Judging by the height of Alrich to the people in the background I'd estimate that the guy on the right is 5'8" and Aldrich about 6'. He is definately taller than 5'8".

Hands down that is the tallest 5 ft 8 I've ever seen in my life. I've just watched the video again and find it hard to believe from that Aldrich is anything below 6'. I'll try to find some photos and level angles to make a better judgement but even watching it back again the man looks in the tall range surely?

I think it was just an illusion because of his skinny frame and the angle in which the clip was shot. Glenn check out Whitesnake DVD - 08 Doug Aldrich solo on YouTube. He looks very long and thin doesn't he? Even his fingers look very long. Actually in looking at him closely I can see he isn't as tall as I had thought but you can sure see why I had that illusion. I'm not the one you thought this somebody evne commented on YouTube saying how he looked like Randy Roads but MUCH TALLER. Very surprised he isn't in the 6' range. Maybe if I see him in pictures at a straight level I can judge better but he sure looked tall in that video Glenn.

OMG I can't believe Doug Aldrich of Whitesnake is supposedly only 5'8"?? Check him out on YouTube the guy CLEARLY looks in the 6'2"-6'4" surely?? He has that classic 80s rock star look going on, tall and skinny and chiselled features. The guy looks very tall to me. I can't see how the guy could ever be under 6', he looks two inches taller than 6' David Covedale surely??

I can't see how the guy could ever be under 6', he looks two inches taller than 6' David Covedale surely??

ER I think you're underestimating even in that photo, difficult to tell without anything in comparison but by judging by his the length of his legs and overall structure he is pushing 6'3" in that photo in my view.

I wonder why he is frequently listed 6'0". Vai looks a solid 6'2" to me, makes sense as he looks 6'3" most often, 6'4" in those monster boots of his.

How can Vai be 6-2 when he looks nothing like it, even in cowboy boots? : Click Here . Physically he looks more in the 5-11 - 6-0 range.

I've seen Satch billed as 5'9". I always thought this was exaggerated. If he is 5'9" Vai looks 6'2" -6'3" in comparison. 5 ft 7.5 makes sense now but remember when playing guitar they are way off standing full height- I'm around 6'2" straight and with my legs apart and bent and playing guitar and looking down I'm probably four inches shorter at least. I heard Vai is only 6 foot flat. I was very surpised as I thought he was a strong 6'2", 6'1" at least. On YouTube somebody said "Vai is 6'3". I think 6 flat is definately a downgrading for Vai perhaps his long wiry build makes hin look taller but I'd swear he was 6'1"-6'2". Rising Force have you met Vai then? Glenn can we start a page for Steve Vai?

5.75 is about right, maybe. I met him after a G3 show, and I was asking people around for their(Paul, John P, and Satch). Anyways, I got his autograph, and I noted that he was an inch or two shorter than me. I am 5'9", and I am sure I had about two inches on him, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually about 5'7" and he is just saying that to seem taller.

In the picture posted earlier Yngwie and Vai looked even. But Yngwie isn't standing up straight either on the Young Guitar cover his knees are bent quite a bit. Also I remember someone saying "yngwie is 6'4 and I'm 6'5 but he was taller than me with those boots" I'm pretty sure on 6'3-6'4 myself.

Yes but as far Malmsteen is talking about being that height when he was asked to join Kiss....if he was still living in Sweden at the time that would have made him in his late teens. You can continue to grow up until your 21. Yngwie may have ended up 6'3. I highly doubt he has 5 inch boots.

Dime has listed himself at 5'9 but could very well be 5'8. Jake your probably right on since I'm just going by pictures. Do you have pictures of yourself with Jake E. Lee and George Lynch Glenn? If so could you post them. Either way Zakk looks way bigger than Dime and over 6 feet tall in that picture.

Glenn thanks. the reason I guessed 6'3-6'4 for Warren is because he looked only about an inch shorter than Robben Crosbv who i read was 6'6. I guess my George Lynch guess of 5'11 was pretty good though. Both amazing guitarist and 2 of my biggest influences as guitarists. If you all like I'll give my links to where I read Vivian Campbell was 5'8 and Robben Crosby 6'6. I am suprised Doug Aldrich is 5'8 though.

Greg, 5'6" tops (maybe that 5'5" estimate was a bit harsh). He is shorter than me by a couple of inches at least. When I first met him, I was expecting 5'8"-5'9", but that definitely is not the case.
I last caught up with Mike at the Modern Drummer fest a few weeks ago. Dave Dicenso (another great Boston drummer) was there, too.
Glenn, yes, he's played with a lot of other people...Extreme, Annihilator, Joe Satriani, Mike Keneally, Steve Perry...etc etc.

I think Steve Vai is about 6'4. Malmsteen looks about Steve Vai's height and Zakk Wylde looks about an inch or 2 shorter than Vai. I've heard Lynch is 5'9 although I can't confirm this and I think he could easily be 5'11. There is a picture of Warren DeMartini with George Lynch somewhere and Warren is about 6'3-6'4 so that'll tell you about how tall George is. Next to 5'4 Ronnie James Dio Doug Aldrich appears about 6 feet tall.

Sorry to butt in, but I know Mike (aka "The Man-Genie"). He's around 5'5" (I say "around," as I've never measured him). Great guy. Very sharp mind.
Would you agree on that height, Glenn?
Malmsteen's got a few screws loose (how Jens and Anders put up with him for so long, I'll never know), but that's probably also what made him so gifted.

Maybe it's because he's so fat, that scandinavian meatball :-)
Anyways ,ask any shred guitar fan who are his guitar heros and probably the last one he'll mention is Ingwie. He's all about scales and lacks spirit and feeling. If you ask me, man, i can't stand one of his records, not even a song alone. He's so boring...

As for Malmsteen, I'd put him at 6'3", as well. He just appears tall and looks like he's a big dude, that Swedish Meatball.

Sheehan is that big? Then again, look him next to David Lee Roth (6', who is leaning forward). Click Here Greg Bissonette I think is only around 5'7", since he looks about as tall a Mike Portnoy who is 5'6". See, here is Portnoy with 5'10.5" Geddy Lee: Click Here .
Here's Portnoy with Bissonette: Click Here photoid=385&asortType=6&apage=3.

Could be but I'm 5'8 and he was about 6 inches bigger than me bending over in the picture I have.....and he looked about 6'4 standing up...he could have been wearing boots though. I think 6'2 sounds right for Zakk. And 6'3-'6'4 for Yngwie

for what its worth, malmsteen almost always in cowboy boots. Vai, only in concert. I've seen all three in concert but was never less than 100ft away :(
I will say that Malmsteen is a six-footer at least. I wouldn't put it past him to exaggerate on the 6'3, (you know how yngwie is!)

Steve Vai can NOT be as tall as 6'3/6'4! I mean, 190 centimeters+ ?
thin frame, long hair, and always wearing heeled shoes/boots that can give him an additional 1.5/2" to his height.
I say 6'1 tops for Steve Vai.

First time posting, but I've been looking through this site and studying pics for a long time. I actually met Satriani and took pics with him after a show and I can definitely say, without a doubt that he is not 5ft8.5. I went to the chiroprator a while ago and was measured at 5'5. Satch was not more than and inch and a half taller than me... Also, he had on black steel toe boots (looked like doc martins). So, my shoes gave me about an inch or so and his about an inch and a half or so.. I'd say he is no taller than 5ft6.5. I will upload and link my pic soon (probably should've before I posted). About Glenn looking shorter next to him... I can't explain.. Maybe boots and lifts?? Satch was pale as hell too.. Anyway's not my opinion, just my real life observation.
