I first heard Vai on Alcatrazz's album-Disturbing The Peace. My jaw literally hit the floor when I heard that record. I recall thinking--who thee H is this guitarist?! From another galaxy,this guy. When I saw it was Vai,I remembered hearing his name here & there. (Did his first cd- Flexible,come out before the Alcatrazz? If so-- I bought that). anyway-- I wondered about his matchup with WS too,and he DEF put his stamp all over SOTT. Wasn't as sussed about it as '87 (nyahnyah,Mick! lol). But overall I dug it and got into it more with future spins. A couple tracks are too over the top sleaze/sign of the times,but the rest is quite solid,IMO. This coming from a guy who only really got into early 'Snake albums much more recently (past 4-5 years). So I wasn't vested in their original bluesier style anyway..T
