Great picture, MikeEnRegalia - but let me make something clear: I said that "at least Malmsteen wrote symphonic rock", but I didn't say that he wrote good symphonic rock! BTW, I think that Vai is a better guitarist and composer than Malmsteen (and singer too, but happily Malmsteen doesn't sings very often) - and I have more Vai CDs in my collection than Malmsteen. I must assume that you are a Zappa fan; if I'm right, could you recommend me a good Zappa CD featuring Vai (never listed to any, and I'm curious). |

Vai has more reason to be here than that band whose name starts with Q. I don't have as much of a problem with this one. He did put some quality time in with Zappa and prog influences are definitely in his music. |

It's unreal - I have no idea why you guys are so sure that you're right. Preferring Malmsteen to Vai when it comes to Symphonic music ... that's one of the sickest statements I've ever read. But we don't have to agree - I know that I'm right and you're wrong (IMHO of course). So excuse me while I'm listening to some fascinating music - have a look at Steve who makes a facial expression similiar to mine at this moment: |

PG used makeup/costumes for artistic purposes. Vai is just being lame and glittery for glitter's sake. PG came across as sort of an artsy weirdo (but lovable all the same), whereas Vai's style is more of "Hey! look at me! I can play guitar! look at my hair blowing in the breeze! aren't I pretty!" also, the Ibanez Jem (his signature guitar) is probably the ugliest friggin guitar I've ever seen. so unprog! |

Maybe Yngwie Malmsteen deserved to be here before Vai... At least he wrote some symphonic rock... Vai's one and only credential to be at ProArchives is "former Frank Zappa guitarist". |

Swiftly followed by Uli John Roth, no doubt... Then Michael Schenker and Bo Diddley. |

Does that mean that this non-musician has been deluding himself? |

I agree but that doesn`t change the fact that he plays mainly jazz.

So
Vai is narcistic... BIG DEAL almost every virtuoso is. I don`t know how
you can pretend you can`t hear jazz/fusion/metal influenaces in his
music? His not just anothe guitar player like satriani, Malmsteen or
Impellitteri - now don`t get me wrong they are great musicians but
definetly NOT PROG. You can`t say that adding Vai means that every
guitar player can now be added. Petrucci`s album "Suspended Animation"
is great but not prog and I didn`t hear anyone complaining about adding
him to Prog Arch. Playing in a prog metal band doesn`t mean that
everything they do is prog! If yes we should add even Yellow Matter
Custard - project of Neal Morse and Mike Portnoy playing Beatels
covers. To me it`s obvious that Vai is a progressive artist and you
don`t have to be a musician to enjoy his music- I love his music and I
don`t even know how to hold guitar properly
LEAVE VAI ALONE! BTW: Al DiMeola plays jazz. |
