Steve Vai joined Alcatrazz, and made one of the worst follow-up albums of all time in "DISTURBING THE PEACE." Disturbing indeed. Steve actually played acid jazz riffs and solos on what was supposed to be a metal record.
You are whacked! That was a great record and was very metallic. "God Bless Video","Wire and Wood","Sons and Lovers"? Hello!

I hear that. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]

Alcatrazz, after Graham and Yngwie lead them to a very good debut album which went gold in the U.S., was dead within two years of Steve's evil joining.
Alcatrazz had a gold record in the US? [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

I once saw a documentary about a kid who went to hell and had a guitar duel to save his soul and also the soul of his older African American friend. Who do you think Satan chose to represent him? Steve Vai!

I think you're right on, man!

Have to disagree. I love those discs, especially "Eat'em and Smile". That disc is a classic.

"Eat 'em and Smile," and "Skyscraper," were both complete shit compared with the Van Halen debut.

This is very true, but it can also be argued that following VH albums never topped the original either, though some may have came close to rivaling it.

Well if by chanve Mr. Vai is indeed the corruptor of Zappa, Alctrazz, Roth and Whitesnake, I guess (as far as I'm concerned) it's a good thing he didn't join Deep Purple or Iron Maiden.

In fact it's quite the opposite. All the bands mentioned went downhills RIGHT AFTER Vai left. The albums that followed Vai's departure are usually shite, DLR's A Little Ain't Enough possibly excluded.
