I hate to be the guy that backs Faustus up here, but I think the idea of Vai's space guitar adventures gets better when you play them in space wizard costumes. Related, I recently found out he cut the guitar solo on a M83 single earlier this year, so, yes, we're in the year 2016 and Vai is on the charts.

Personally I'm torn. On one hand, sitting at my computer with coffee in hand I am ready to scoff at Vai's ridiculous get up, because look at it.

On the other hand, if I was actually at the show I'd probably think it's loving awesome.

What in the holy gently caress is that poo poo?

It's the part of Vai's show where he goes from whirling and slinking around the stage with a fan blowing his hair while he casts fake fireballs into the audience with his hands to the part where he exits the stage for a minute, then waddles back onto it wearing that high visibility road hazard jacket with laser pointers glued to it and tries to do the same stuff but much slower as if weighted down from wearing an early 1900's deep sea diving brass cauldron helmet.

You all can be so harsh about stupid music poo poo. I mean, it's all stupid, isn't it?

Drinking tea from a Jack Daniel's bottle, spitting fire, playing a guitar that looks like a gun that shoots flames, wearing weird contact lenses or KFC buckets or what the gently caress... you're not really making any one dude look more stupid than another, are you?

You already know. See ya on the flip, I gotta crash. I have a job and I just bought a Fender Telecaster that I have to pay off.

Steve Vai wanted to be a wizard when he was a boy but was forced to settle for being a guitarist

This doesn't stop him from dressing up like a futurist fever dream wizard and nor should it

Some of these things are dope as gently caress though; Vai can play like a motherfucker but his stage act seems really lame.

What in the world would make you think the one true space wizard guitarist wouldn't show his true form at every possible opportunity?



Seriously though yes he still dresses up in that laser wizard robe as far as I know.

My favorite guitarist wears a fried chicken bucket on his head. Who am I to judge a wizard?



Back to stupid music poo poo:

Gibson took arguably their best looking guitar model, made it look way worse, and is selling them for like 700 bucks. Also that rosewood fretboard looks loving horrible, that is what they picked for the promo shot? Yikes.

But for some reason these fucks won't reissue the 3 pickup ones with the Lyre Vibrola tailpiece(Firebird VII) :ughh:

I'd buy one of those in a second. I actually have money as an adult now to spend on dumb guitar poo poo, and they won't make the dumb poo poo that I want.

No argument from me. I agree with anyone who thinks it's pretty stupid. I'm willing to overlook it becausre he was Jack Butler when I was a kid.

Maybe I can use it to input someone else playing my guitar, 'cos I'm loving terrible at it.

At least if I replace my output jack with an input jack, there's no way for the bad sounds to get out.
