Interview w/ Steve Vai re: BEAT Tour, King Crimson


Recommended Posts

Thoughts:

1) Good to see you active again!

 

2) Thanks for posting that video!

 

3) I don’t know if I’ve ever heard Vai talk.

 

4) Having a guitar legend call someone else’s music & technique “constant and intense” is high, high praise.

It's good to be active again- here, otherwise, figuratively and literally!

It pleases me that I can still detect a bit of a New York accent there, after (I believe) many years of his living elsewhere.

Indeedliest. There are Legends, and then there are those that populate that strata of Olympian, Asgardian Ideal. Vai and Fripp are certainly ensconced in such a pantheon.

I note that Vai's adaptation of Fripp's riff in "Thela Hun Ginjeet" is subtly yet decidedly 'Bluesier', despite omitting only one note and having a pretty similar beat and phrasing.

His talk of working with Roland- and Adrian Belew- on guitar synth patches and custom guitars and all, is interesting and speaks volumes of this undertaking.

This is gonna be one Hell of a concert tour! I'm stoked!

I am not generally a fan of those shredder type guitarists, but I do appreciate Steve Vai and I'm glad he's keeping the legacy of KC alive with his Beat tour. Wish he'd come to Atlanta, however!!
