Steve Vai has certainly been known to "hot dog" it on occasion, but not as much on this album. It's actually quite musical and calmed down. Influenced by Indian music and singing it has some interesting rhythms. His tribute to Frank Zappa and liner notes show the depth of his relationship and the effect Frank had on his musical life.

That's not live - that's a still picture. Try again.

I still for the life of me can't understand all these people that hate his music. They say he writes bad songs. This song is groovy, slick and experimental. How can you not like it!
