Matter of fact, several Vancouver fans might still be reeling from the band’s local appearance on Wednesday (June 6) at the Coliseum.īut the blues-based shenanigans of David Coverdale and his troupe are not the only things Vai has on his mind these days. Mainstream rock fans who don’t normally pick up the latest issues of Guitar Player or Guitar World or any of the other glossy mags honouring today’s top axemen might not be aware of Steve Vai’s reputation, but more than likely they’ve heard a tune or two by his current band, Whitesnake. They don’t do badly in the album, tape, and CD departments, either. Vai and his childhood buddy Joe Satriani are the fave cover boys of today’s guitar publications the dynamic duo from Carle Place, Long Island moves a lot of copies. Walk into any magazine shop, glance at the rock ’n’ roll section, and chances are you’ll see the handsome, raven-haired guitarist grinning wickedly from a cover or two, his psychedelic seven-string Ibanez electric guitar slung provocatively at his hips. In rock guitar circles, Steve Vai is the type of personality that Entertainment Tonight might giddily term hot. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, JUNE 7, 1990
