Steve Vai Trying Quotations

The older I get, the more I just like plugging directly into my amp. I'm tired of trying to impress myself with weird sounds. It's about the notes more.

I have a deep love for life and my fellow human beings. I try to understand everything that everybody does, even if it seems wrong to me.

If you want to be a virtuoso then you have to set your sights above me. You have to go beyond what I'm doing. And that's for you to figure out. Because if you can do that, then I'm going to be trying to go beyond you.

I'm a big fan of cultural music, and that's how I try to expand my playing, by listening to music that is not conventionally American.

I can tell you this: I'm an extremely passionate individual. I try to be careful how I display it because you never know how people are going to take it.
