“It’s easy to say in your mind that it’s fine. Vai finds solace in his beliefs, even when people are sometimes less than kind to him. “They are thoughts in the head that don’t really exist.” Through his studies, Vai says he has been liberated from the worries of his youth. “That has had a profound impact on me and what I focus on.” “The message is aimed at a complete reversal of the way we think,” Vai says of the book. He is a huge fan of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle and is reading Helen Schucman’s A Course in Miracles for the fourth time. The incident deeply affected Vai, who went on to spend the better part of his life studying spirituality. “When I was very young, I was afraid of being famous because I was under the impression that if you become famous, you go insane,” he says of the fear he developed from a story his aunt told him.
Vai says “the self” is the part of each person that is connected to the universe, at peace, and unafraid. In the meantime, a live album - Generation Axe: The Guitars That Destroyed the World, Live in China - will be released in the coming weeks. Generation Axe has never made a studio album, but Vai says he hopes to soon. The music leans toward heavy metal, sometimes with rapid, complex shredding and other times with prolonged, impassioned interludes. Each member is an accomplished solo artist, but they all get together periodically to tour. Generation Axe is more a project than a group. “So you’ve got these five beautiful, distorted guitars playing in lush harmony.” “There is one backing band and five crazy guitar players,” Vai says of Generation Axe, in which each guitarist plays by himself and in various combinations with the others.
The five will shred the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood Monday, December 10, with their unique style of largely instrumental, intricately technical rock. You talk about favorite achievements? I’m always having them.” tweet this Vai is now touring with guitar-god supergroup Generation Axe, made up of Yngwie Malmsteen, Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt, and Tosin Abasi, and Vai.
