Rod in Toronto Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Another topic with a shameless plug by yours truly... I love Steve Vai, and got the chance to interview him to promote his new album "Inviolate", which comes out this Friday. Check it out, and please comment on the video! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I pre-ordered this a few weeks ago, and I`m looking forward to it more than I am Joe`s (which wouldn`t have been the case decade ago). I think Steve`s variety lends a greater sense of anticipation for my money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Steve`s variety lends a greater sense of anticipation for my money. Funny you should say that. I love both, and career-wise, I prefer Vai. But when it comes to their new albums, Satriani's is miles better. Both are good though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m not going to it listen beforehand as I still like the thrill of a new record on its release, but everything after Unstoppable Momentum has sounded a bit samey to me (which is hard to avoid in a 35 year career, I guess). Great job on the interviews though. I don`t know what I`d ask either of them, but I dread to think how many hours I`ve spent listening to them both since 1987! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks man! I kind of developed a formula for these interviews, and pretty much can come up with about 20 questions for the artists on the night before the interview. But I think you can tell I was a bit nervous when talking to Vai, and loosened up as the interview went along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he`s just as enthusiastic now as ever, which is always something I want to feel about my heroes that are still around, still making music. I don`t know about that Hydra though... bit of an aesthetic leap to that from the three-necked guitar of his DLR days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Yeah, he was happy to talk. Actually, when we reach the 25 minute mark more or less, I asked him "how much time do we have left?". And he said "well, I talked a lot, and I know you probably have a million questions you didn't ask, so fire away". And we stayed a bit longer than we were allowed. He and Satriani were VERY cool in the interviews. And the one I did with Eric Gales is coming out this week as well. He was amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I've ordered the new album. And I realised I forgot all about his last album, even though I bought it. I'll have to give that listen too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Man alive. Just watched this and The Hydra makes sense now - in a way I can just about get my head around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
