TIL Joe Satriani's "Crowd Chant" was meant to be called "Party on the Enterprise"

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.

  • I fucking love satriani, hes legit the most consistingly amazing artist in my book.

    So did they just not sue Information Society or did they find something more artworthy in What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) than Crowd Chant?

    Don't get me wrong, I dearly love Information Society, I just don't get this.
