The 1984 Listening Post - Steve Vai - Flex-Able

Steve Vai - Flex-Able


#20
January 1984
Steve Vai
Flex-Able
4.25


Highlights:
Little Green Men
The Attitude Song

Echoing strains of “Close Encounters Theme”, “Little Green Men” the opening track, suggest that maybe, just maybe, Steve Vai was the light hearted guy who kept Zappa’s songs interesting. Could this be true? This sounds SO much like the Zappa stuff that I actually liked. I thought it sprang forth, formed from Zappa’s brain, is it possible that Vai is the unsung hero??

Try to find someone in your life who loves you as much as Steve so obviously loves weird time signatures & making his guitar sound otherworldly and if you can’t, just keep listening to “The Attitude Song”.
