Steve Vai Passion And Warfare

Well, from your nickname, I gather that you listen to music quite far from that of Vai; you’re free to think that way, and I wouldn’t say you’re the only one at this point! If you want to explain your reasons, we’re here to read them!

As my friend ajeje said in my review of Fire Garden, "different opinions, shaped by different listens"!

Unfortunately, Panzer, I don't think you misunderstood; the reviewer's thought is this: otherwise, they wouldn't have given 2 to Passion and Warfare. However, I believe that beyond my personal evaluations of this album (I reiterate that for me it deserves a solid 5 stars!), a guitarist who plays a For the Love of God, a Sisters, and a Ballerina in the same album clearly shows to be a great composer, with a capital C. But this is just my opinion!

Steve Vai Alive In An Ultra World

Voto:

a live of extraordinary intensity, the absolute demonstration that Vai is not the classic six-string virtuoso who only aims to exalt his image with cascades of notes. Listen carefully to this live, without prejudice, and you will see for yourself, one example among all: Brandos Costumes or Principessa.

Yngwie J. Malmsteen Trial By Fire - Live in Leningrad

11 may 06

Voto:

Live in Leningrad marked an era; I wouldn't give it a 5 because at times Malmsteen loses his sense of moderation, perhaps due to the comparison with Turner, which was marked by a certain conflict, especially on stage. However, the songs are really beautiful!

Yngwie Malmsteen Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra

Voto:

Malmsteen is baroque up to a certain point, only when he exaggerates with the scales and loses the sense of measure. In this context, I would say he is not at all; the orchestral project is one of the best episodes of his latest production.

No ajeje, Vai has a style that I believe is unique in the world, and I don't expect others to sound like him; that would be, among other things, absurd. I agree with you that Satriani is different from Vai in many aspects, but especially his early albums are fusion, at least I think so. How do you judge, for example, Surfing with the Alien?

Oh well, if Satriani and Vai don’t play fusion, then probably Malmsteen doesn’t play neoclassical and Petrucci doesn’t play progressive, who knows... anything is possible in this world!

A good part of these groups I actually have never listened to ajeje, I know the Dixie Dregs, they are Steve Morse's band, right? However, it seems to me that Morse has a more progressive style rather than fusion and is quite distant from Vai, but he is certainly a prepared musician, I find him a bit repetitive though, it tires me out after a while. I prefer not to respond to davidbowie89 (who was referring to Squalo anyway) because I've already had my fair share of controversy for today, I'll leave it to others to respond if they want! Panzer, what can I say, I see it the same way you do, but I think the problem is that in fusion, there are guitarists that are too different from each other, and so even a work like this, which I consider great and is generally regarded as high-level, is inevitably diminished.

Okay, matter dead and buried. As for the rest, I can agree with Marco; Vai has a style that is diametrically opposed to Matheny, so a comparison would really be forced. Probably, Squalo, we have two different conceptions of Fusion; let's put it this way, you include musicians who are very far from Vai, but I also add that they are far from Satriani, and then your 2 is perhaps motivated by this aspect as well.
