For anyone who thinks Vai has no "soul" behind his playing: have you ever listened to "Tender Surrender", "For The Love Of God", "The Boy From Seattle", or "Windows To The Soul"? Just wondering because I hear a lot of people say that Vai doesn't play with emotion. Come on now people. Just because Vai came out of the '80s doesn't mean he doesn't play with just as much, if not more, emotion than everyone's favorite blues players'. For an example of what I'm talking about just check out the "Martian Love Secrets" part of his website. http://www.vai.com/LittleBlackDots/mls.html . I really shouldn't have to post this but I'm sick of all the Clapton fanatics talking about "soul" like you can't have it if you don't play the blues. In fact, "soul" should be different for each person. One person playing soulfully could sound "bluesy" while another man's could be something totally off the wall (ie.- Bofatron) :). Just remember to keep your minds open people. After all, this is music we're talking about.
