Going to see Vai tomorrow night at the House Of Blues, Myrtle Beach.
I know a lot of people don’t like his brand of music. Too quirky etc... But the sheer variety of the talent contained in that man is unreal.
I mean, here’s a guy that can do something like FTLOG or ‘Whispering a prayer’ that’s technical/emotional one second, then do Hendrix convincingly the next and top it off with a bombastic “Burning the Church’ style tune with a full orchestra and hold his own against them in sum. And then fit right in with David Lee Roth or Whitesnake.
And he’s about as grounded as they come. Truly a unique human being...assuming he actually ‘is’ a human being ;)
