yep, everyone has differnt opinions on steve-o. i love the guy and i'd like to tell you why if i can. i can right now whether you like it or not and i will.
i took my wife to see him in a small club here in dallas when we were first dating. (i know, really romantic). we stood 5 feet from the stage. as usual he was flawless. i asked her afterwards what she thought about the show. she said he's a great "showman". i knew what she meant. among his incredible skill on guitar he has a way of playing that connects with everyone in the audience. like him or not, you can tell he has a genuine love for music and performing. i think he's pretty darn good at both.
by the way, it seems he has no trouble putting together a band with serious skills. mind boggling skills. love the dude.

As brilliant as he clearly is, I don't feel the mosquito symphony style either. respect though, I wish i had 1/4th the grasp of the instrument he does!

Two of the very best albums to come out of the '80s were David Lee Roth's Eat 'Em and Smile & Skyscraper. Highly recommended by me. What a band ... with Vai, Billy Sheehan and Greg Bisonette. Arguably the most-talented mainstream rock outfit ever assembled. Solid songwriting too. Roth's biggest mistake was not keeping that band togther , or at least Vai.

I got tuned on to Vai back in the 80's when he was playing with Zappa. Now I don't go out of my way to watch or listen to him, but when he's on, I can't stop watching him.
I've always thought he was great, and now with this thread I'll have to catch up with his vids.

You can't think of it as getting a vibe. Just knowing how great he is - is enough.

Have been a fan of his since the 80's. Meet him on this past Experience Hendrix tour. And he gave me a really cool gift. A really nice guy!
