In Episode 2 of Axe Lords, the legendary Steve Vai dials in to join Dave, Cindy, and Tom for a conversation about his genre-spanning career and the many ways in which he’s impacted the world of guitar. From learning under Joe Satriani to gigs with Frank Zappa and David Lee Roth, Vai shares unforgettable stories from the 80s and beyond. They dive into his latest project, the Beat Tour with King Crimson’s Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, and geek out over his signature creations, like the Ibanez JEM and the game-changing 7-string Universe guitar. And of course, Tom can't help but ask about that epic Crossroads guitar battle.
