Steve Vai on Working with BEAT, David Lee Roth, and Joe Satriani on Talkin' Rock

Steve Vai - legend! And a really nice guy. Sometimes it can be tough talking with someone who's done so much in his career. I mean, where do you start?

He's touring, playing the music of King Crimson with Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, and Terry Bozzio. They're playing a show in Detroit at the Masonic Jack White Theater. Of course I had to ask him if he'd ever met or played with the local legend, because he's played with everyone. Oddly enough, he's never played with or met Jack.

That's for starters. We also talked about his time in David Lee Roth. I'm a huge fan of that era and of that album. He did tell me that Dave would take his musical ideas and work on the ones he liked.

He's also got a new album dropping on November 6th. It's called Sea of Emotions. That's the collaboration with Joe Satriani, from whom he took guitar lessons as a kid. To say they know each other well is an understatement.

Great to speak with Steve....enjoy!
