I prefer Satriani way over Vai...I just don´t like him very much...althought I must admit that technically he is "better" than Satriani

Satch by a mile. 

His playing has more to offer and is more original than Vai's IMO.  Vai always comes across to me as too much of a showman.  He's always got his glitter on his face and an industrial size fan to blow his hair back while he plays.  too much style, not enough substance.

i'm sticking with the satch man because vai is just too much into the whole glamour rock 'n' roll style plus he uses that whammy bar waaaaaaaaay too much when he solo's like he did in the G3 DVD. Which in my opinion John Petrucci blew both the Satch and Vai out of the water.

funny, but Joe Satriani's style reminds me a lot of Steve Hackett. am I the only one to hear that?

Satriani ... although in a big clearout a few years ago ... I got rid of all albums I owned by both guys ... haven't really missed them

I can't choose between them. I love them both, for different reasons.

Vai by a mile. Even though I hate the way he acts like he is the King of the
world (I'll never get over the fan blowing his hair back) his music is very
creative at times when he isn't playing 100 miles an hour.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

I won't let something like that distract me from the music ...

so Vai for me too, by a LIGHTYEAR. Better performer, better songwriter, better visionary, genius, true artist ...

Pretty well feel that way about them both

But overall, Vai is more prog

His Flexable release is correct

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I wonder how many of you all even know Vai's Flexable albums - or his work with the Metropole Orkest. Like 10x more creative than what Satriani ever did ... and I am a Satriani fan, don't get me wrong. But apart from Surfing with the Alien and Engines of Creation I cannot find nearly as much adventurous stuff as Vai has on ALL his albums.
