Hey, don't get me wrong guys, I love Vai. I think he's great. But he certainly is capable of the most astounding wankerage. For examplay:
Sisters: Brilliant, heartfelt, a masterpeice.
The Mysterious Murder of Christian Tiera's Lover: Pure filth. Yeah, it's still cool in an oh-my-god-is-he-really-doing-that-to-his-guitar kind of way, but still... so very filthy.
A lot of what I hear of Vai's stuff I really consider to be filler, with a few gems (snigger) in between. But when they're gems... my god are they ever gems. I think Steve is completely capable of being a wanker, but he does know the value of moderation, unlike some, and for this I (we) applaude him. The main reason I personally bestow the title of wanker on him is being a guitar man myself, I watch him on stage, hand firmly planted on his cock, all I can think is "You utter cunt, Steve." He knows he's good, and he can keep it in his pants when he knows best, and thats what makes him great.
