    Steve Vai might as well be a fictional character. His world is just so fantastic (in the traditional sense of the word) when compared to mine.

    Love when it cuts to Steve and he's holding an instrument from a Star Trek episode or something, like it's nothing. Oh, and I have this thing here that I play on.

    Steve Vai has a child like innocence and sense of wonder and a deep cosmic spiritual depth at the same time, and it translates into his playing and his songs and gives me such a sweet and glorious feeling that only he can give thank you Steve Vai for the gift of your music in my life!

    Vai is an amazing guitarist. Definitely one of the best there is. I would really like to see another G3 tour with Vai, Satriani, and Dweezil Zappa. I love Frank's music and am saddened that he is no longer with us, but his music lives on in his son. Dweezil definitely has mastered his father's music and playing style.

      I wouldn’t trust anyone other than Dweezil to continue the Zappa Legacy, of course with a little help from Vai

    Amazing! Steve Vai. Bit of jazz funk. You free moving amongst the musical disciplines. I love it. You are in a position to finish your brilliant tracks. I love the foot pedal remark. Relatable. Tipsy terry is what I am known for . Good to see you know your structure well. I am glad in a way I didn’t see and ready to learn the proper fundamentals now. It wouldn’t have being totally right. The movement within the stillness was evident to me while doing Dj work. Music is music . Art is art. Yet a common thread to your work is your musical signature. Steve Vai . The surreal and real live within you. As you are and with light and integrity. Very much a down to earth approach. The man is out there but real on planet earth. Congratulations

      He uses the Crybaby 95q, not the standard crybaby. The 95q does have a spring and it activates itself by just putting your foot on it.

    I could tell when the music started to evolve, and a lot of it had to do with Steve using a Mac. Digital recording took him to unending levels. I worked for a computer company at the time, and one day I noticed that he and Pia both had accounts. I was a good employee and never told anyone :) But it was awesome knowing that they were ordering from us and using Macs.

    This album is really growing on me now- it needed a few listens when I bought it- and then a break from listening to now coming back and loving it- there is so much happening in each song- so many layers, instrumentation- Steve is at another level- not just as an incredible guitarist but also as a composer/songwriter.

    Can't wait for "Upanishads"; a track I 1st heard in 1991 from a bootleg if Vai live in San Diego in 1985 that ended up being a semitone flat, due to no standardized cassette speeds. I felt so blessed to hear it I sent him Canadian $5 dollar bill in the mail once I owned a copy, in 2000 just because of my favourite unheard Vai song on it that I didn't even know was called "Upanishads"

    Such a difference 25 years has made in this life. Steve says the word "I" so many friggin' times throughout the video, my favorite being... "Why did I have to make such hard parts." Get over yourself, Steve! Such a complicated amp & pedal-laden gent, that enjoys talking about himself. A huge amount of TECHNICAL talent, yet does not strike me as part of the music. Appears the other way around. So much more respect for Hendrix & Rhoads today. Bless their fantastic, graceful souls.

    Listening to this for the first time today... best Vai record in a long time, imo. I like the production on it a lot. I wish the last few albums had this production quality. They were close, but it sounds like this one finally got the production perfect. I wish I could afford a damn Ibanez. I played a Jem Jr. a few months ago and was surprised how tight it felt compared to all the guitars I've played, so I can only imagine what a real Jem feels like. :( I'm old enough now that I know I will never have one. Lifetime of growing up and growing old in a shitty economy in an expensive city. If I ever get an extra couple grand, it will go to student loans or other debt.
