VAI STEVE/ALIEN LOVE SECRETS

Descripción

AS WITH ANY STEVE VAI MUSIC YOU COME TO EXPECT EXCELLENT GUITAR WORK AND THE SONGS ON ALIEN LOVE SECRETS ALL INSTRUMENTALS DO JUST THAT. OPENER BAD HORSIE WAS DERIVED FROM A RIFF PLAYED BY VAI DURING THE FINAL SCENE OF THE 1986 FILM CROSSROADS. JUICE IS GUITAR MANIA FAST RHYTHMS AND BURNING GUITAR SOLOS SCREAM THROUGHOUT THIS SONG GIVING IT A NEAR FRENZIED BUT CONTROLLED ENERGY. DIE TO LIVE IS GUITAR HEAVEN AND ON BOY FROM SEATTLE ITS LIKELY THAT VAI MAKES A BOW TO HIS COLLEAGUE JIMI HENDRIX. LIKE THE PREVIOUS SONG YA-YO GAKK IS FLAVORED WITH A BLUESY TEXTURE. AS ALWAYS THERE ARE SOME AGGRESSIVE ZAPPA LIKE TUNES LIKE IN KILL THE GUY WITH THE BALL. AND AS LAST TENDER SURRENDER DEMONSTRATES HOW EXPRESSIVE A GUITAR CAN BE FROM THE JAZZY SOULFUL AND BLUESY OCTAVES.
