Passion and Warfare. Living guitar legend, whammy bar master and secret beekeeper, Steve Vai, is our guest on Episode 167 of Sappenin' Podcast! The iconic axeman reflects on his four decades of reinventing the six-string, unbelievable achievements and making records with everyone from Whitesnake to David Lee Roth (Van Halen) and Frank Zappa. In this conversation, the riff virtuoso opens up on keeping healthy way into his sixties, staying inspired with new album "Inviolate", how some of his most signature solos were written, getting Ibanez to make him a futuristic three neck guitar, jumping between massive bands throughout the 80's, how many instruments he actually owns, insane names that tried to steal him, making honey in his downtime, wanting to collaborate with Ghost, guitar music in 2022, working with Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osbourne and Spinal Tap, a ridiculous promise to us and even shreds live on the podcast! Turn it up and join Sean and Morgan to find out Sappenin' this week!
