Podcasts about Generation Axe

​​Multi Grammy award winner Steve Vai is hailed by many as the greatest guitarist of all time. He has worked with some of the greatest names in the history of rock music. He is a composer, producer and has just released his tenth solo album; “Inviolate”. 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. 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 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 has recently released his new album "Inviolate," on CD and digitally (vinyl will be released in March) with nine instrumentals of his most honest work to date, including the album's mesmeric opener, “Teeth of the Hydra,” that Vai wrote and recorded with a one-of-a-kind custom guitar he called the Hydra. We spoke to Vai on The Sync Report about his life, music, guitars, composing and producing and releasing his 10th solo album: Inviolate.   Steve Vai   | Social Media Website Instagram Facebook Twitter Youtube 2 Sense  Music presents The Sync Report, where you will meet industry experts and top level songwriters as we pull the curtain back on music placement and scores, build vital relationships and provide real opportunities to our listeners.

Join my guest Mr. Steve Vai as we discuss the new Generation Axe live album (Vai, Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt, Yngwie Malmsteen and Tosin Abasi) plus magical thinking, spiritual questing and Vai's current guitar obsession, Synergy Amps.Wanna support I Heart Guitar (and by extension my little family and our dreams of getting another dog soon)? patreon.com/iheartguitar or paypal.me/iheartguitar, my friend.

Steve Vai is a man who needs no introduction.Since first hitting the stage as a guitarist in 1978 he has played with and alongside bands and artists such as Frank Zappa, Whitesnake, David Lee Roth and Ozzy Osbourne, in the process earning himself an unrivalled reputation as the world's premier guitarist.After recently putting together Generation Axe - featuring himself, Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt, Yngwie Malmsteen and Tosin Abasi - Vai realised a personal musical goal, assembling the best of the best for a project that is as breathtaking as it is brilliant."It was different from many things that I've done in the past", he measured, "but it's always nice when you realise a dream and realise a fantasy. Creatively this was an idea that I had bounced around for many years but it just needed the right time and the right folks. Everybody loved the idea and came together and we did our first American tour and it went so well we did an Asian tour and that's where we recorded the shows. I edited everything together and mixed it and we got the record and then did another North American tour and I have all of that recorded and sitting on the shelf but we're really happy with the way it came out. It's a really good sounding live record. It's hard to mix crazy distorted guitars but I think it sounds good".Over four decades Vai has seen countless waves of styles and musicians come and go and smiles when recalling the magnitude of many different era's."The biggest change that I saw - because I was basically birthed in 1980 with Frank Zappa - and my guitar duties then were very different to they were with David Lee Roth. With Dave and Whitesnake, my job was to be that guy that fit the mould of the '80s, and the '80s was a great time for rock guitar. We were all influenced by those individual musicians of the '70s like Jimmy Page and Brian May and Jeff Beck and Ritchie Blackmore, the list goes on, so in the '80s the guitar was more in pop music - pop rock so to speak. Then when the '90s came along the whole face of guitar playing in pop music just changed overnight, basically. Things like shredding were considered taboo in a lot of circles. There was a period of time in the '90s where a guy like me was the poster boy for everything that was wrong about playing the guitar (laughs). One decade I couldn't open up a magazine and not find extraordinarily wonderful things written about me and then the next I could not open up a magazine and see the worst things being said but then things changed and I kept sticking to what I enjoyed doing. History doesn't remember those times in between trends".In the full interview Steve talks about the excitement of recording live, what he was looking for in guitarists when putting Generation Axe together, what attracted him to the chosen four, working out the arrangements for each guitarist, having five frontline guitarists sharing the stage at one time, how the craft of playing the guitar has changed in his time, different trends in guitar playing, the possibilities of an Australian tour and much more.

Before the Generation Axe show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester tomorrow night, Steve Vai stopped by First Thing Fairfield County to chat with Allan about the tour, getting his start with Frank Zappa, his version of the "Halo" theme, and the epic scene as the Devil's guitarist in "Crossroads."
