MRU Metal Battles: Vai vs Satriani - The Orange Mane

Northman · 06-14-2007, 07:20 PM

On one of my forums we have a little game called metal battles. Essentially i take two albums and put them up against each other. Preferably different artists but it seems we may be moving into same band different album territory soon. But, none the less this was a round 4 matchup that ended in a 5-5 tie. I know Pezzy is a Satch fan so i know he will enjoy this. Not really metal perse but still a great battle. I want to see what kind of results end up here so play along and let me know what you think.

Steve Vai- Passion and Warfare (1990)

vs

Joe Satriani- Surfing with the Alien (1987)

I have to give Vai the edge here (although I'm not really a fan of either guy's sound or style) for superior touch, tone, phrasing, all-around chops, creativity, and composition.
