Vai has also been in the movies! Listen to Vai talk about being cast as the devil's guitar player in director Walter Hill's film “Crossroads” and then talk about other films and video games his music has been licensed for. Vai's career has spanned more than 40 years, working with such rock luminaries as David Lee Roth, Yngwie Malmsteen and Whitesnake, touring with Steve Lukather, Joe Satriani and John Petrucci as well as Generation Axe, a supergroup Vai formed with Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Nuno Bettencourt and Tosin Abasi. Vai spoke to The Sync Report hosts Colin O' Donoghue, Rose Ganguzza and Jason P Rothberg about his early music inspirations, being taught to play guitar by Joe Satriani, attending Berklee College of Music and going straight into working with Frank Zappa. He is a composer, producer and has just released his tenth solo album “Inviolate”. He has worked with some of the greatest names in the history of rock music. Multi Grammy award winner Steve Vai is hailed by many as the greatest guitarist of all time. If it is the worst album ever, it goes directly to Hotel California for all eternity where you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

If it is mostly crap with a hidden gem or two, it goes to Skid Row If it is solid, but not perfect, it goes to the Crossroads

If it is really good, but not perfect, it spends time with Dr.

If it is the best album you've ever heard, it goes to Paradise City If you want to email the show we can be reached at us know how you rate Physical Graffiti

The band shows a strong desire to experiment and push the boundaries of the pop-metal format, adding a funky horn section on 'Get the Funk Out' and displaying progressive compositional leanings throughout, and virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt puts down his guitar for the enjoyable pseudo-lounge piano ballad of 'When I First Kissed You.' But of course, the album is best known for its two acoustic-guitar-only hits, the number one ballad 'More Than Words' and the equally fine full-band rocker 'Hole Hearted.' Other highlights include 'Decadence Dance' and 'Song for Love.
