If you're going to talk about music, Steve Vai is also not the place to look. I find his solo records very boring, and a great lack of any good song writing. Joe Satriani would be my pick in the MUSIC department. I never said Slash was a great player, anyway, just that he had more feel than Vai. A feel, any emotion, is always present in MUSIC.

really? im sorry dude but i feel there is more to music than rock and blues ie slash playing rock riffs and solos in the pentatonic box... and in that case i would say slash is the less expressive player...

Never seen the movie...so Steve Vai is the guy with the red guitar?

BucksStudent (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

Feel is emotion. It's something a lot of guitar players lack. They spend too much time practicing scales, but never really express feelings.

what is this elusive "feel" you speak of? i need to know more...

BucksStudent (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

They're both overrated. Slash has the feel that Vai doesn't have, though. For The Love of God is nothing compared to Sweet Child o Mine's emotion. I like both, but I'd rather listen to Slash's ramblings than Vai any day.

I've seen Steve Vai live - he's a showman and incredible musician

It never ceases to amaze me how Steve Vai can fail at failing(already mentioned I know)but its true, he does a lousy job at failing.
