	DVD Review - Steve Vai: Alien Love Secrets (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Even today, Steve is regarded as the most fluent rock guitarist when it comes to written music, sheet playing, and transcribing even the most difficult arrangements.
		Steve Vai soon left no doubts that he was a more-than-able replacement for Eddie Van Halen.
		With ease, Steve turns his guitar into a lyrical singer, a rampaging monster, a cold machine, a shuffling boogie-man, or a roaring animal within seconds of each other.

	Steve Vai: The Infinite Steve Vai: An Anthology - PopMatters Music Review
		It was Zappa, who first hired a 21-year-old Vai as his new lead guitarist in 1981, who referred to Vai as his "stunt guitarist", and nobody since has come up with a better description of his style.
		In the time since his brief stint with Whitesnake, Vai did begin to focus on recording solo material, and while his music as a solo artist is considerably better than his work with various bands, it's still a bit of a mixed bag.
		Epic has done their part to introduce more people to Vai's solo output with The Infinite Steve Vai: An Anthology, and while it does showcase Vai's supreme talents as a shredder extraordinaire, as well as an often clever composer, this two-disc set does prove to be a bit too exhausting.
