steve will always be an underrated rhythm player.
like jimi, the histrionics tend to overshadow the fact
that the dude can FUCKING PLAY THE GUITAR.

the soul/feel argument holds no water with me either.

'for the love of god'
'tender surrender'
'viv woman'
'call it sleep'
and fuck yeah, 'damn good'.

seems to me a lot of the vai haterz have no idea
about guitar pluckin'.

thanx for teh bump, loons!

*edit* yep, i agree steve's tone generally sucks.

Ok, for me Vai is an amazing player, I don't think anyone could deny that.

However, you just can't inject what he does into songs that easily, like DLR says, Vai is hard work.

He is so unconvential that he has to do his own instrumental pieces, which are cool.

But all the live stuff I've heard of him doing VH, just ain't anything like Eddie.

But once again he is a great player.

Totally off topic but's just occured to me.

What's to stop you making a bunch of counterfeit blackjack chips and then using them in a big Vegas casino?

Someone must have thought of this idea before...

I got a boot (vid) where he does a solo and plays a very small part of the original eruption and seems to make some fun out of it...like "hey, ed, no big 'ting to play your shit"...doesn't look that good...
