Thank you for this jewel !

Vai is such an awesome human being.

A great musician talking about (maybe) an even greater musician. Fascinating stuff. Is there a longer version of this interview?

Great interview. Frank’s impact on the best musicians in the world speaks volumes about his legacy.

Never realized until now, how much Steve looks like Hugh Hefner. Uncanny.

That's how I got into rock music at 11, Guns N Roses Illusion records came out sept of 1991, i had just turned 11. I had only been into things like MC, Hammer and vanilla ice...stupid 5th grade bs. My parents took me to Target and there was a giant display with the illusion records. There was just something about "Use Your Illusion II" with the blue and black, i had to have it For some reason I thought that they were something of an outlaw country band, along the lines of Willie Nelson or Waylon Jennings.... My aunt listened to that kind of music when I was younger and I was really into it. Obviously I got the record home and it was nothing what I thought it was going to be. It absolutely blew me away, and got me really into rock music. People don't remember that within a couple of weeks those GNR records came out, metallica black album, nirvana nevermind, pearl jam ten, red hot chili peppers blood sugar sex magic, and Soundgarden's badmotorfinger.... All came out August and September of 1991. Guns n' roses got me into Queen, megadeth, danzig, there was so much good music coming out in the early '90s... In 1992, Best friend and I went to the record store to buy his father a CD for his birthday. He misheard what his father liked and bought. Steve Vai instead of Stevie Ray Vaughan. His father didn't want the record, So we listen to it and discovered passion and warfare.... I became a huge Vai fan immediately, then his band Vai in '93 with devin townsend.... And it all started with just what the album cover look like.... Kids today Just don't get to experience albums like we did, It was an experience to open up an LP with its giant images and lyrical inserts, So you could study the lyrics and know what they were saying back before you could just look them up online

Great interview!

I saw Zappa in Portland Oregon when I was a teen in the 60s or 70s, n I don't remember much of it.. I believe he did a song called The Mudshark Dance.. 🤨🤗🤘

Funny thing how Steve picked the first album.

I'm constantly getting distracted throughout the interview wondering what the hell that thing is in his right hand.

Permanent stain on Zapps legacy!
