why does steve vai have such wierd names for his songs?

Jazzzzy, coz Steve Vai is well, different and somewhat weird. Read my ancient interview with him HERE

Yes I did, Silent Shady. The thing is, I am a lot wierder than Vai. So it didnt do much for me. Sometimes I wonder why he does such crazy $h!t.

mikesb: you lucky dog. you interviewed so many big names.......grrr.

you're weirder than vai???? DUDE, you must be really fucking wierd then.

Jazzzzzy, yeah but only a few live & in person like Joe for instance!!! Joe was/is a prince. The majority were phoners (Vai was) and that really kinda sucks but hey, better than nothing right!!!

I am actually trying to get back into it... But, only local stuff live and in person, no more phoners for this dude.... Unfortunately my advanced years limit me to now covering "classic" rock acts .... Once again, "Too old to rock'n'roll...... you know,

Silent, do you ever sleep??

mikesb yes I will go to sleep in about 20 minutes.

silent shady: My wierdness exceeds no other. I look like Mr. Burns, Frankenstein, James Bond, Ganja man and Jesus all in One.

And Vodka should not be for alcoholics like you. Stick to the beer.

mikesb: you should try interviewing Britney Spears. And do it on the phone. That way you can watch porn at the same time while talking to her. Should be sweet.

cool.

and kudos for interviewing Joe. Thats only a dream for the few million of Joe's fans.

Listening to Blew Powder by steve vai .... cool shit. I love how the song progresses.

Actually, I got confused. This song is not blue powder; its Erotic Nightmares.

silent shady: Do not call them emotional scars. call it a moment of spiritual trancendenting.

Well, imagine you are in the American midwest, its only 11:16 here.

Silent Shady: this is your mother speaking: "go to bed now!"

Jazzzzy- what album is Blue Powder from?

Artanis- I'll hafta disagree, in that I much prefer Satch's songs to Vai's.

I don't know- Vai's are just not as melodic as Satch's- sure, they are awesome, and ther eis some real gold, but it just doesn't sound as ....'good'- hard to explain, lol...

OoH! Almost forgot!

Joe, will there be 'premium' tickets or backstage passes for sale/giveaway (apart from the one you are giving to one member of each show through your site)?

Also, will you be making a DVD 'Down Under Tour' or something similar? That would be amazing!

Finally, will you be signing or anything at your Aussie shows, such as the Brisbane one in particular? ;)

Cheers!

Jazzy: What about Trumdumbalind off of the CP record? That was pretty wierd. I think Vai has odd song titles, because he sits in his back yard tiki hut/studio recording for days on end while starving himself. So, I think he's been living in a hunger induced halucinatory stupor for decades haah!

Steven Wild: I'm doing good man! I've been balancing recording, practicing, band practice and teaching lessons. I'm attempting to build up enough of a student base to avoid having a real job. I've given myself a year (now that I graduated college) to try to build up a full time student base.

the new guy: Blue Powder is from Passion and Welfare.....lol

Haha- new? I've been here since 2002- just never posted much because I don't like the board system- much prefer phpbb or ANY php-based bulletin board, to be honest, lol.
