As previously reported, Vai caught up with PyroMusic for a chat about his new live CD/DVD, Where The Wild Things Are, and much more. The following is an excerpt:
Q: The band you perform with on the new album are fantastic and a very tight unit. Do you hope to tour with that particular band again in the future?
A: "I'd like to, I thought it was a great band, really wonderful people that I enjoy being with. We're kind of like a family, you know? We really enjoy being together and touring together, we love each other and support each other very much. And that's really the most important thing that you can have in a band when you're touring, because it comes through in the music, it all perpetuates what the audience is feeling.
I've read things where some musicians feel that it's really okay that they absolutely hate the lead singer, you know, 'I can't even share a bus with them because it adds to the anger or the energy of the show'. That might be good for them, but that's not good for me. So I'd very much like to keep this band and do some more work with them. The only problem is, they're so wildly talented that they get scoffed up by everybody! (laughs) So putting a tour together is more like a schedule balancing act, so I'm hoping that I can do it."
