this guy, vai, and iron maiden are all NOTHING alike....there is nothing even remotely close to this on any maiden album, and vai is mostly overly-artsy faggy wierd shit.
I don't know why anyone thinks Steve Vai is a great guitarist?
Isn't he the fag who started the whole 7 string trend?Now some buffons, who shall remain nameless, are doing 8 string guitars.Steve Vai is ghey.Gimme sum duck walkin Chuck.YIPZack
Yes, innovative and ground breaking guitarists with great abilities are second to all 5 tone minor pentatonic repetative cliche bastards who play with "feel". Vai has a lot of "feel" in his playing, and he's one of the greatest ever, but you actually has to really dig into his music to understand that (Some of his music is a bit "out there" though)
I "rank" him higher than those two.
It depends on what you're looking for when evaluating a musician, agree with that.
I'll take a guy who plays with feeling like SRV over this guy anyday.
Vai IS a great guitarist....but his music Sucks.
I agree with you there. Without great songs you don't have much left. No matter how you can shred.
Stick this in your bong and smoke it
