File talk:Joe Satriani in 1988.png

Non-replaceability disputed

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of a fair use image as a replaceable image. Please do not modify it. 

The result was to delete the image.

This is a photo of Joe Satriani in 1988. While it could be replaced with a picture of him performing in the present, people in the article's talk page wanted photos that illustrated his whole career and what he looked like, guitars he played, what he played etc throughout his career. Very few photos of him exist playing pre-1990, and fewer still, if any at all, are published for free on the internet or can be tracked down. The only way therefore to illustrate him performing in this era is to screenshot any footage of him playing as a photo, as I have done here. This also means the only way to replace this image would be to do so in a similar manner in which I created this original photo.
