Happy Birthday to my favorite guitarist!!!!
You are a magnificent musician and a genuinely wonderful person.
You deserve to enjoy a fabulous day, and I hope it ROCKS MASSIVELY!!!!!









Hey Steve.
Some of your musical phrases will always feel like home to me, and will say things with more sincerity and nuance than any words could. Also JEMs almost play themselves, so there's that too. Also just release a raw and spontaneous guitar album already, cause fans are suppose to bicker and demand things.
In remembrance of the time during the PAW 25th gig when you scanned the audience with a long and intense look, like you were grateful and trying to take it all in for safekeeping, it's my turn to express gratitude and wish you a happy birthday.

Happy Birthday Mr. Vai!
I’m proud to say that I’ve been a fan finally for over a decade now. Chances are that I’d just ramble and say a whole bunch of stuff you’ve heard a million times already, so I’ll stop myself.....I just want to thank you for the amazing memories that you’ve given me through the years. You have such a huge heart, and have changed so many lives. There has never been a time at one of your shows through the years where I’ve not seen you show your deep appreciation for your fans, and not played your ass off.
I’ll leave you with my favorite example. Your last tour during intermission, I was in a line for the bathroom. There was a guy there with his girlfriend. She was in awe and said she has been complaining about having to come to see this show for months. She didn’t know anything about you, and didn’t even like rock music. By intermission, she was blown away and hysterical. She said that you already put on the best performance she’s seen of any musician ever, and that was just at intermission! Lol.
That just sums up everything about you. A true virtuoso who always challenges himself, and plays some of the most complicated songs in front of everyone. I’m so grateful to have ever discovered you, and the crazy part is that I honestly don’t even listen to progressive rock from anyone else. I always make a point of seeing you, and have traveled from WI to CA to see you twice.
This month, I’m moving to Orange, CA and hope to catch you at a few venues in the area. I’ll miss seeing you at the beautiful Pabst theater in Milwaukee, but fingers crossed, I’ll get to travel back there and catch you again for the next one.
Have a wonderful birthday Steve! Looking forward to what’s yet to come!
