Joe Satriani , guitar-god, was invited to Mumbai in the May of 2005. Some articles published prior to the concert in Mumbai, introduced him as the "guru" of disciples of other guitar legends like Steve Vai and Slash (of Guns N Roses). As a result, a lot of "head-bangers" (with long hair) turned up at the concert. They were disappointed for Joe is not a "metal rocker", only a cool wizard.
An article (special presentation) on rediff.com spelt out the complete mockery Mumbai made out of Joe.
As an aside, Joe plays exclusive Ibanez guitars and has even designed the "JS" series. I always wanted to own one of these, but ended up with only a "Fender Squire Strat" (similar to the standard Strat), a handcrafted Yamaha LL-11 and a cheap Indian imitation of Gibson (called Givson).
