Facemelter: Steve Vai

Posted at 4:30 PM on February 26, 2008 by Brett Baldwin

We've received quite a few suggestions for Facemelters — add yours, if you like — and by far the shredder who has garnered the most mentions is Steve Vai. (It wasn't a contest, I'm just sayin'.) And really, who is more deserving than Vai? A guy who has played with Frank Zappa AND David Lee Roth? I mean, a guy who actually inspired the whole ironic "Shreds" meme on YouTube can't be all bad, right? (If you have no idea what that means, Wired's music blog "Listening Post" has a nice summary.)

I could go on for hours about Steve Vai, but maybe you should just listen to the podcast and hear for yourself.
