Received this comment on my review for Steve Vai’s Sex & Religion CD:

If you’re reading this, Steve, then be aware that…Oliver…or Nicolas…is asking…something…

I like Steve Vai, but I’ve never been able to make it through one of his solo albums. Too much wankery, not enough song for me.

I like Satriani though. Flying in a Blue Dream is great.

I like weird. Something about Vai’s songs just don’t interest me that much. He seems like a great guy though, and is definitely a virtuoso.

I’d love to talk to that guy for like…10 seconds even.

A good example, I love Tom Waits, and he’s weird as fuck. Waits is also Steve Vai’s favorite artist. Sorry to triple post, but I keep thinking of things to say!

I did not know Steve was a Waits fan.

I read an interview where he said he doesn’t go anywhere without his Tom Waits collection.
Here’s him with Henry Rollins talking about how much he loves Tom Waits. Steve Vai has repeatedly said Tom Waits is his favorite artist.

I hope it’s not too late for Steve to see that comment. I’m sure it was important.
