agree with you about steve. what you were talking about, the audition...frank kept giving him harder and harder stuff to play until steve said he couldn't play it. Frank said "I hear Linda Rondstat is looking for a new guitarist" Steve was devastated til Frank grinned and said "you're in the band"
I enjoyed your reaction a lot! Have you ever seen Frank Zappa's "Stevie's Spanking" performance, with Steve and Frank soloing together on stage at the same time? If not, you'd like it too!
Interesting facts... Stevie moved down the street from Frank and was his neighbor. Joe Satriani was Stevie's guitar teacher. Stevie and Frank were Dweezil's guitar teachers. Stevie was more around Dweezils age than Frank and Stevie auditioned for Frank when he was 18. Frank said no. Too young to go on tour. Come back in a few years. Auditioned again when he was 20 and the rest is history.
I'd have to agree with you on the soloing. Even better than Jimmy Page in TSRTS. Maybe not better overall, but at least in a technical sense. Better than any other solos I can think of. Combining his skill level with the intensity. I prefer these more diverse instrumentation and solos- numbers more so than just Frank playing a solo through the whole song, or most of it. Although towards the end it became mostly Vai. It still had more diversity in general.
Incredible composition. Vai is spectacular!
The best reaction ever! Is the best Guitar Solo Ever!
' I hear Linda Ronstadt is looking for a guitarist' FZ to Steve at his interview.
