Mr. Vai being cryptic...

[JohnnyGtar]

I have no proof but I'll bet it's a tribute to Ed Van Halen. Vai and Dave are on good terms so this wouldn't surprise me one bit, and Steve and Ed were friends.

PanterA

Is he going to possibly join Satch's tribute band thing? Red Chicken Van Montrose?

Polyphia

Is Tim or Scott out of commission? I don't know if you're joking or not.

Is he having a special amp designed by Dylana?

Taylor Swift's touring band?

It's not Van Halen, that ship has sailed.

Morello is a great guitarist. He's also good enough to be in Springsteen's band.

My guess is replacing John Shanks in Bon Jovi this fall. The Bon Jovi camp was in talks with Ritchie Sambora, but that guy was out to lunch last time I saw him in a video.

Nah. Steve said he's replacing a monster and Richie ain't no monster. He never was.

I'm only joking, tried to do the wry smiling sunglass emoji to show that, haha

 

[shredi knight]

I can't wait to hear everyone bitch about how he plays the intro to Mean Street wrong.

 

[squealie]

I respect the shit out of Vai. He's a capstone of our era. But Vai doing anyone else's shit is always a tad goofy.

Vai should do Vai.

Or Yngwie should do Warrant. What the fuck do I know.

Her amps sound great , so I am sure she could design a VAI amp

No doubt. Anything would be an improvement over his current rig.

 

[Fiesta Red]

Maybe filling in for Corey Wong from Vulfpeck?

Slayer tribute band. He's doing the Kerry's role.
