i have to admit i love vai and satriani as musicians, but as much as i love em', i hate their singing, slightly embarassing i think! Hope they will be none of it in the future. Sorry to any fans for this insult. Please share your views here

I'd rather hear Steve & Joe sing than Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Chryssie Hynde, Kurt Cobain or Mick Jagger...and none of them are guitar virtuosos....just singers (and possibly rhythm guitarists).

Sure they're not great singers, but they sure ain't the worst! And at least there's a gutiar solo here or there to break up the vocals.

I've heard a LOT worse singing from current-era vocalists. I think they realize that singing's not their forte. I really don't mind Joe's voice on something like "Lifestyle." Its not like he's doing any Queensryche covers!

When i saw him perform last march, Steve actually said 'The bad news is that I'm going to sing now'.

They know they're not singers...but their art requires singing in certain spots in order for them to fully express their thoughts/feelings.

Listen to those "cookie monster" vocal bands...that's godawful sh!t!

Then keep it to yourself. I enjoy hearing them both sing.

I think one of the best vocalist that was first a GREAT (and still is) guitarist is Nuno Bettencourt....

i was slightly harsh on them both, but i just want to know what other ppl thought. They have immence knolwedge of music, and i personally don't think they need to sing.

Like Kenny said, it brings their music to another level of expression. Sometimes I get the feeling Vai is opening his soul when he sings.

BTW, Vai said the same thing in Boston -- apologizing before he sang. I still love I Know You're Hear.
