Yes Ive heard of him and Steve Vai-Theyre both great. I had Steve Vai's album "Passion and Warfare" when I was in JR high.

**TidesHoss32** · 07-21-2009, 11:32 AM

Wasnt Vai the guitarist for David Lee Roth for awhile?? Yeah Ive heard of Yngwie and Vai both, and I also had the Passion and Warfare cassette back in the day..Im racking my brain, but didnt Yngwie have a beef with someone not too long ago?? I remember reading about it, but I cant remember who it was..Ill tell you someone else I like listening too, but he's nowhere near the level of guitarists we've mentioned, but I like listening to Mark Tremonti from Creed and Alter Bridge.

Yes, Vai played for David Lee for awhile. Yankee Rose was one of those great guitar sessions.

Creator of the greatest guitar of all time (IMO)..I have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, and I absolutely adore it..He lived a good, long life, and his music, and the guitar he created impacted millions all over the world..
