Greatest Hits Plus!
The live stuff is also very cool. If you like Vai, of course you know a lot of the songs. It is a great value since it has so much content.


A Great Starter CD for Vai Fans
It doesn't offer up the cream of his works, for that you have to span his whole catalog. I'm a big Steve Vai fan, and this CD is a good place for fans who want to get a small taste of what Steve is like. But still this is a great place to start

I recommend this as a start then branch of to his full albums and even the live stuff, like the DVD Live at the Astoria London and even the G3 DVD's.


Good Explorer CD
Not only does it show a big variety of the way he plays, but it has his best songs. If you heard of the great Steve Vai, and heard stuff like "He's awesome but his music sucks!" This cd is for you. So that away you can enjoy the songs without having some of those songs that are really weird. To be honest these two cds have some of my favorite songs ever written. If you like solo guitar music or instrumental music, I would recommend this cd to you. If not I would tell you to download a few songs from this cd online, and if you like it then go buy it. .


Great Music - Poor Quality

None of the other reviewers mentioned this, do I have a lemon CD???
This is the first Steve Vai music I've ever bought and I think it's awesome. Love the music but there is some very irritating high pitched "harmonics" or something on "For the Love of God". I'm way over 14 years old too!!!.


Steve Vai has crept up to my upper echelon of guitarists.
I would say that the Zappa and prog element is there enough with the shred/metal element to call much of Vai's solo material Prog Metal. In buying this album, I knew what I was in for, but also it gave me a good retrospective overview of the past present and future of progressive metal guitar. He has a mastery of tone, melody (ok maybe not as much as Becker or Roth) and instrumentation that is probably on par with noone since Hendrix, since they both are in outer space as far as their unique visions. As Yngwie took Roth and Blackmore and surpassed them tenfold (well maybe not Roth), Vai has taken Van Halen in paticular (the liquid, spacey, tapping sound as well as other things) and taken it to another universe all together. A double album worthy of repeat listening and influence, Anthology sums up a killer career. The only thing missing is some of the David Lee Roth stuff. .
