    "I don't know if I fit into that kind of music" - Steve Vai
    *Makes the biggest, most badass rendition of a game theme song*
    Insane.

    I'm 56 years old and remember when I first saw Steve Val back in the 80s when he was originally with Frank Zappa's band and then his forays with David Lee Roth and his amazing solo projects...But I'm also a gamer and when I heard his solo on Halo 2....it was riveting, amazing and expansive, a big sound to mesh with a huge and fantastic game. Lightening in a bottle..you only capture it once...

    Starting to play Guitar and getting into Steve Vai
    Halo being my fav game and still is :) Halo 2 came out and I was obsessed with Steve Vai.
    Hearing the Halo 2 theme and Knowing instantly it was Steve Vai and absolutely loosing my mind in amazement.
    Halo Game soundtracks are IMO the best ever created and adding Steve Vai on Halo 2 and Anniversary was just so amazing. No other game soundtracks comes close to it...

    Steve is a good chunk of why I love Halo 2, Marty and Nile had great minds to involve him in the soundtrack. even Nile playing on Broken Gates and some of the other tracks is just awesome, also if you didn't know Nile Rodgers used to play Halo and is part of the reason he was involved himself, same thing with Breaking Benjamin, damn that soundtrack is awesome.

    Halo2 was an epic win for gaming and music. I still remember loading it up on my console and hearing that intro theme music was amazing, I was just getting into guitar myself and played an acoustic at the time and I didn't know That was Steve Vai! I just knew it was a killer melody and riff. Then there were many more surprises along the way, I remember playing the mission in the hall of the Arbiter and I nearly immediately recognized Breaking Benjamin playing a rocking tune(Blow Me Away) to an epic encounter! Halo 2 was done right, I didn't feel that way again about a game until Doom2016
