 Steve Vai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vai's latest album, Real Illusions: Reflections, was released in 2005, and Steve Vai and the Breed, as the band is now called, has embarked on a world tour in support of that album.
Vai is an accomplished studio producer (he owns two: "The Mother Ship" and "The Harmony Hut") and his own recordings combine his signature guitar prowess with novel compositions and considerable use of studio and recording effects, such as the Eventide H3000 ultra harmonizer and Digidesign's Pro Tools Hard Disc recording system and plug-in effects architecture.
In 1991 Steve Vai released his critically acclaimed solo album "Passion and Warfare." This cemented his place at the forefront of 'Virtuoso' guitar music.

Vai was also confronted with challenges raised by international recording laws, nonexistent sound checks, and venues attempting to charge exorbitant amounts to record at their facilities.
Vai explains the song's genesis in the liner notes.
Entirely written, rehearsed, and recorded during Vai's 32 country Ultra Zone tour, the compositions of Alive in the Ultra World were created specifically to reflect elements of the traditional music of the cultures Vai toured.

 Steve Vai
First off was a pair of self-financed, recorded, and released solo albums in 1984, Flex-Able and Flex-Able Leftovers, both of which showcased Vai's guitar playing and songwriting talents, yet were still heavily influenced by Zappa.
The album was based on dreams that Vai experienced as a teenager, as the largely instrumental album became a sizeable hit, earning gold certification and solidifying Vai's standing as one of the top guitarists of the day.
It was also during the late '90s that Vai and Satriani reunited for an annual co-headlining tour (with a different third artist added each year), called G3, unleashing a live album, G3: Live in Concert, in 1997.

 PyroMusic.net - Review of: Steve Vai - Sex & Religion
Vai's willingness to experiment musically and take a punt on a budding new (and very unusual) vocalist really paid off, it's just a shame that to Steve Vai purists on the whole (and close-minded listeners) 'Sex and Religion' was and is an absolutely catastrophic abomination of monumental scale.
As fate would have it, Steve Vai was seeking a new vocalist for an upcoming album and his record company passed Devin's tape on to him.
The mighty ego of Mr Vai was clearly shattered at the resulting fan-crucifixion for his third album and it's a damn shame that the generally negative response to this record lead to a quick return to the Vai of old (which admittedly is still great).

Vai received an honorary doctor of music degree from Berklee College of Music, in the 8th of September, 2000.
Although all the music was already composed by Vandenburg, Vai has put an undeniable energy, by adding some cool licks, riffs and solos into some of the songs, that seared every track from beginning to end.
The brightness of that record wasn’t only about the technicality, as any usual solo instrumental album… it was about the most naked, honest and extreme personal musical statement it represented.
