[FONT=Georgia]I happened to notice that there wasn't a single thread started over the world's greatest guitarist(in my opinion) so I had to start one!!! Steve Vai is not only a great guitarist but he is also very intelligent!! He didn't get into the drugs like Justin hawkins and jimi hendrix and kurt cobain and all these other great guitarist that are now gone, he just stuck to the one thing he new loved the most, music!! and for that he, along with the like of clapton and wylde and a few others, has earned my respect!!![/FONT]
