Someone at some message board said " Satch doesn't even come close to the techinical abaillity and songwriting that Vai has, the apprentice sure did surpass the teacher in this case".

I for one am HUGE satch fan. I for one do not agree with this statement at all. I think Satriani Is a much better song writer than Vai is. It is really hard for me to pick up a Vai cd and listen to it all the way through, his songs just don't do it for me ( but he OWNS live). As for satch, i can pick up any of his cd's, because they are generally catchy and well written. And there Technabillity ( my own word) is almost the same. I also think there styles are alot different fom eachothers.

I do not agree with this statement at all.
