The Story of Light Tour brings Vai to Cain’s Ballroom at 7 p.m. tonight.
A majority of Vai’s music sounds like a mix of the Jeopardy theme song and would be close to Cartoon Networks “Metalocalypse” if it wasn’t so damn peppy. Listen to at:
“After listening to Jimmy Page‘s solo on Led Zeppelin‘s Heartbreaker, Vai began playing guitar in 1973, at the age of 13. In 1974, he took guitar lessons from guitarist Joe Satriani and played in local bands, one of which was called “The Steve Vais” an exclusive interview reports.”
In 1989, Vai joined Whitesnake, replacing Vivian Campbell. When Adrian Vandenberg injured his wrist shortly before recording was to begin for the album Slip of the Tongue, Vai played all the guitar parts. Vai played on the Alice Cooper album Hey Stoopid, along with Joe Satriani on the song “Feed my Frankenstein.” In 2010, Vai released several “VaiTunes” singles of tracks that were previously recorded and later finished. They are available on Vai.com, iTunes and Amazon.com. On September 14, 2010, Steve released “Where The Wild Things Are” as double vinyl through his label Favored Nations and made a guest appearance with Rickey Minor and The Tonight Show Band on NBC, Wikipedia says.
Tickets are $25-40 bucks depending on access restrictions and can be bought at Tickectfly.com
