Steve Vai is a good sport

[Modern Saint]

"Ice pick through your forehead." His guitar sound today is completly different than it was back in the 80s, and it still changed a lot from Zappa to Alcatrazz and DLR.

I know that. That is why I said that it has evolved.

Although I am not really into this sort of thing anymore, i would still 100x rather listen to Steve Vai than any of the tedious blooz heroes with their derivative pentatonic licks and bootique gear/sound

I was there. So much fun. DLR, Billy, and Steve brought the party.

I was there too, front row Well, not at that show, but the one they did in Battle Creek. Cinderella opened.

That green guitar, was that his #1 that he said he literally ripped the Floyd right off it one night? I can't remember, but I'm thinking it was green.

A must watch for Vai fans.

 

[Psychotronic]

I know that he recorded with Lydon on the PIL album but unsure if he toured with them.

He also recorded with Shankar as well.

No, he didn't tour with them. I've always liked PiL, too, and this is a great album.

Not lazy. I give you The Congressional Medal Of Honor for putting up with band shit in the line of duty.

Shred as a style is garbage but I enjoy Steve Vai and admire his ability

Thank you for sharing. We were all going to ask what you thought.

That's typically how discussion boards work. It's not all about you screaming "LOOK AT ME" every 5 seconds.

Tangent.

Thanks for confirming because that is what I thought. He did studio work for PIL along with Shankar about the same time IIRC.

I have an electric fan that I plug into my pedal board so that my hair is always being dramatically blown backwards just like Steve Vai. It's my biggest fan.

I see many parallels between Steve Vai and Kenny G.
