One may not like him musically, but respect must be given to a great like Santana, who was already someone at 18... those who mock him will at best play the skin flute...

Jon Spencer is the usual jerk who thinks he's a genius for a select few of idiots; the blues has barely touched him.

Santana is a great guitar legend and a significant figure in the music scene… for me, he is a Master… Mr. Iko, as usual, you always talk nonsense…

As you can see, I'm not the only one who noticed the "mysterious" resemblance... I'm in the company of none other than Adrian Belew... link rotto on.co.uk/ints/STEVEVA.IO0.html

This is an interview conducted by Adrian Belew that I just stumbled upon online, where Vai says he was unconsciously influenced... wuhahaahah.
UV: At the beginning of 'Tender Surrender' [from 'Alien Love Secrets'] you play an octave melody that's reminiscent of...
SV: Wes Montgomery?
UV: Yeah, or I was thinking of the instrumental Jimi played at the end of his Woodstock performance, 'Villanova Junction Blues'.
SV: Right, right. It's very reminiscent of that!
UV: That wasn't intentional then, no?
SV: Well, it probably crept up from my subconscious somewhere. 'Tender Surrender' sounds like a cross between Jimi's song, Santana's 'Europa', and 'Call It Sleep' [from Vai's album 'Flex-Able' (1984)]. I don't claim to be original, by the way!

The piece plagiarized by Steve Vai is called Villanova Junction.

Reggae should be listened to with the right spirituality and the right vibe (of course). Its strength lies in its obsessive hypnotic repetitiveness (like the blues).

I invite you to listen to the album "Live at Woodstock" by Jimi Hendrix (easily downloadable online) specifically from minute 58.55 to 1.01.35.

Honestly, when it comes to "rolling," I can do it even behind my head. I use my pinky nail as a screwdriver, for my nose, for my ears, etc... in short, a bit for everything, and finally, as stress balls, I prefer to use two nice boobs; I don't know why, but they give me more satisfaction.

2 Foreword: Vai is a talented and skilled professional guitarist, and the fact that Tender Surrender is a plagiarism does not mean it can't evoke emotions in the listener. But since we're talking about originality, genius, non-trivial riffs, a tribute dedicated to "the man from Seattle" (pathetic), aliens, and serious accusations directed at the most gifted student of "the wizard from Arcella," etc... I invite you to listen to the album "Live at Woodstock," full CD Jimi Hendrix (easily downloadable online), specifically from minute 58.55 to 1.01.35. Vai made a mistake by not dedicating "Tender Surrender" to the great Jimi; in fact, I’d say it is outright PLAGIARISM. Clearly, he relied blindly on the great ignorance of his listeners. Messia del cazzo... Vai go back to studying your bends instead of mocking your fans... See Mr. Iko, I prefer to listen to a few good guitarists and surely not fakes like Steve Vai... 1000 times better the good Ghigo Renzulli than Steve Vai.... And anyway, I wanted to tell you that I listen to whoever I want and I don’t take advice from a useless person like you.... there's no worse deaf than someone who doesn’t want to listen... don't contact me again because you’ve already annoyed me, you, Steve Vai, and your know-it-all attitude...
