vai's best?

[guitardevil2005]

im not guna lie, im not to familiar with ANY of vais stuff, at all, i want to buy a cd, wich one do u think is the best, or shows his best? wether its his own, or hes playing for sum1

[King Knall]

If you're a Vai fan, you DEFINITELY have to get these albums:

Eat 'Em and Smile (David Lee Roth)
Passion & Warfare
Alien Love Secrets

[Robot Boy]

passion and warfare and firegarden are my favourites. alien water secrets is good too. as far as actual guitar work goes, id say PnW is his finest hour, but firegarden is awesome in its all round musicality

[King Knall]

Ah yes, I've seem to left out Fire Garden. So how's Vai's Alien Water Secrets?

[Robot Boy]

woopsy, its alien love secrets. i always do that, cos theres a song on PW called alien water kiss. but yeah, its a wicked album. tender surrender, ya yo gakk, juice, bad horsie, and more wicked songs, its a damn fine album

[Davey]

Alien Water Secrets! lol

Passion and Warfare all the way mate, my favourite guitar album of all time and a damn innovative one to boot.

There's a Steve Vai Anthology out (double CD) that includes a bit from every era. that would be a good place to start

But if you want an album - then it has to be Passion and Warfare. Flex-able is good but it is a bit weird

[ScottB]

Another vote for the Anthology as a beginner's introduction to Vai. Real Illusions has some tasty SV as well. Lotus Feet alone makes this album a must have.

I've got the Anthology and it's quite nice. It even has Kittens Got Claws on it.

Yep - A lot of tasty stuff.

You must also get PAW / AL(W)S

7th Song is a good-un

Fire Garden

RR....etc...etc.....

need I say more

[Vai_disciple]

PAW is incredible, the first time you hear it is a landmark in your life, all the DLR stuff rulez, as does the Zappa stuff, plus ALS, Fire Garden, Ultra Zone, AIAUW, RI:R....damnit, just buy everything!!!

[carlos grijalva]

Passion & Warfare!!!

[fettouhi]

Alcatrazz "Disturbing the Peace" and his solo album "Sex & Religion".

[skrewflanders]

i cant find the Alcatrazz cds anywhere, but PAW is a must-have

[vette6600]

PAW no question his best technical playing
