Hands Up Who Knew...

Thay Devy used to sing for Steve Vai???

Devy With Vai

He was 19 back then. I recall seeing this ages ago and never clicking that it was Devy

 

[Anvil]

I did.

 

[Chromatose]

S&R was always my favorite Vai album, and I didn't know who the vocalist was, but he made that album my favorite (hell, anytime Vai didn't sing was my favorite Vai album moments ha ha ha). Even after I started listening to SYL I didn't know it was the same guy After I found out he had his solo albums and started researching it and listened to Ocean Machine is when it clicked it was the same dude.


I've heard that the tour for that album was great! and people I've talked to who saw the show that passed through here said Devy kept up soloing with Vai really well, even back then as a youngun'

 

[eaeolian]

I went to that tour. It was rather cool, indeed, even though I'm not much of a Devin fan...

 

[MetalSteph]

I saw Devin with Vai at a Foundations Forum, and he sucked ass.

 

[Karmic]

which one?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Whooooa

This video... ...
I dunno, it makes me laugh out loud when it comes to about 4:15 and forward.
...the Donald Duck sound and then the "earthquake"...

wellwell... Whatever rocks his boat

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

What a fool I was...
Back in the day when this album came out, I was totally into the "prog" thing and was hoping for a Tate style singer.

Then this Devin guy starts screaming and I hated it. " man, the music is great but this singer blows "

Several years later I hear SYL and DTB and wonder,
" Why didn't I like this guy? "

I guess Devy was just ahead of his time for me. Now I think he rules.

*raises hand* there should be a video on youtube.com
edit: oh hehe
note to self: READ

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

nah dev doesnt suck. he's just an aquired taste, especially with vai. i dont like s&r that much anyway.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Yup, knew about it. Hence why I checked out SYL when "Heavy As A Really Heavy Thing" came out. Figure anyone Vai called "crazy" had to be interesting.

 

[AsModEe]

I also knew about it

 

[Captain Beard]

I was aware.

 

[SirDidymus127]

that was quite possibly one of the worst songs i've ever heard...

 

[El Stormo]

*raises hand*

 

[-Rivfader-]

Devin > Vai

Oh and /hands up

 

[FretsAflame]

I knew indeed, but I didn't know that he fucking looked liked Powder when he was with Vai.
