In the time since his brief stint with Whitesnake, Vai did begin to focus on recording solo material, and while his music as a solo artist is considerably better than his work with various bands, it’s still a bit of a mixed bag. While his buddy Satriani was quickly making a name for himself with his two superb solo efforts Surfing With the Alien and Flying in a Blue Dream, Vai seemed too busy worrying about being a rock god instead of settling down and making good music. His nadir as a sideman was without a doubt his appearance on Whitesnake’s disastrous 1989 album Slip of the Tongue, where his work on the re-recorded version of Whitesnake’s own 1980 hit “Fool For Your Lovin'” pales in comparison to the original, much more simple guitar work by Mickey Moody and Bernie Marsden. As a supporting player, he showed off too much, and every band recording he made sounded like he was constantly trying to steal the show. His style was all gimmicks, be it the “talking guitar” trick he did in the intro of Roth’s “Yankee Rose”, or his silly cameo role as Satan’s axeman in the film Crossroads that had him dueling with Ralph Macchio, of all people, or, lest we forget, that hideous triple-neck, heart-shaped Ibanez guitar he used with Roth in 1988. It was Zappa, who first hired a 21-year-old Vai as his new lead guitarist in 1981, who referred to Vai as his “stunt guitarist”, and nobody since has come up with a better description of his style. Vai spent much of the decade as a hired gun, adding his technical expertise to the likes of Frank Zappa, Alcatrazz, Public Image Ltd., David Lee Roth, and Whitesnake, but one thing that always hampered every album he played on with those bands was the fact that underneath all the technique, all the flash, was very little substance whatsoever.
It didn’t take long for Vai to rank among the elite of hard rock guitarists in the mid-’80s, right up there with fellow noodlers Yngwie Malmsteen, Dokken’s George Lynch, and his former Long Island, New York schoolmate (and guitar teacher), Joe Satriani.
The guy sounded daring enough to seem like a fine replacement for Eddie Van Halen, who was by then mucking around too much with keyboards in his own band. Tags : sexy A.I.I remember first hearing Steve Vai on Alcatrazz’s 1985 album Disturbing the Peace and thinking, “who is that guy on guitar?” The single “God Blessed Video” was a downright awful song, but what made it interesting was the guitar playing of the 25-year-old Vai, who spiced up the tune with his slick fretboard tapping, upstaging bland vocalist Graham Bonnett.
