The truth is that Vai, now with the passing of the years I can say that as a "stage performer", he is incredible, but as a composer, musically, not so much. But he knows how to sell his image like no other and create a unique brand with his style.
agreed.. I have 0 emotional connection to this "song". Its like he mostly composed it for stage performing. Like a collection of techniques he has in his sleeve.
@@MrCold012 I on the other hand love this song. I just discovered it a few weeks ago. It was being played on a Vai advertisement and I had to know what that song was. That intro phrasing that he repeats throughout the song is fire and really magical to my ears. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I agree that his on stage presence is amazing. Vai makes you feel part of the show and boy is it a show. Seen him live twice and looks like he's still got it in his mid sixties.
Thanks for sharing
I love Satch!
