Korn's Brian 'Head' Welch and James 'Munky' Shaffer started playing seven string guitars because of Steve Vai, who credited the band for popularizing them.
After releasing their new song, "The Sea of Emotion, Pt. 1,' Steve Vai and Joe Satriani discuss its personal meaning and how it ties into their long friendship.
Steve Vai, besides being one of the most amazing musicians to ever walk the planet, also seems like a pretty nice guy. His shows are amazing, the musicians he plays with are always high caliber, and he tries to do things so that everyone feels like they've gotten their money's worth at his show.
Recently, his trick has been to have the audience help him write music live on stage.
