Does that question have anything to do with my post or the thread in general?
|
no, its just that you cant play shred guitar without having some rock/metal elements. so you dont have to say.. rock+ jazz+sh...
You revived that thread.

The Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scotts as a joke, but the Scotts haven't seen the joke yet.

I stand by this old freakin post. Vai sometimes has complex rhythms, adventurous sounds 'n' all, but I believe if we take things in historical context and not entirely in a "sounds like" vacuum, Vai does not belog here at all.

Absolutely not. There is a difference between complex music and prog music, and it's really not that hard to see.

depends on what you mean by "historical context", as in his early solo work, or his work with zappa?

His work with Zappa doesn't count. That would be like adding Phil Collins' solo albums because he was in Genesis.

actually there are some rules about it on this site,i cant remember, something about "completing the big picture". its the main reason for why petrucci's solo work is here. and if you check vai's page, you see that its says... Why this artist must be listed in www.progarchives.com :
Progressive guitar composer and Zappa alumni.

Pop doesn't factor into it, it's about evaluating an artist by his solo work, not by what he did in other bands.
