206. Steve Vai: Guitarist - Part 2 | The Ireland Podcast

Steve Vai - Part 2 This episode forms part of a short series marking the 40th anniversary of Album by Public Image Ltd. Steve Vai’s contribution spans two episodes - this is Part Two. Because we don’t have a licence to play the record in this episode, listeners are encouraged to line up Album and press play at the countdowns. We do a simple “3, 2, 1, go” and listen through the tracks in real time, with Steve explaining what he played, who played what (including Nicky Skopelitis), and how the sessions felt from inside the room. Along the way, Vai remembers his dinner with John Lydon, being asked about joining PiL, and why he still considers Album one of the most enjoyable guest projects he ever jumped into - total freedom, minimal direction, and a sound that still feels unique forty years on. Play-along track cues and gear notes are below. The Ireland Podcast is an ongoing record of long-form conversations and is produced by Salthill Media. Play-along instructions: At each timestamp, start the track on your own copy of Album when we count down. 00:40 - Track 1: FFF (countdown and play) 06:15 - Track 2: Rise 12:20 - Track 3: Fishing 17:39 - Track 4: Round 28:40 - Side Two begins - Bags (countdown and play) 34:11 - Track 6: Home 40:03 - Track 7: Ease Gear mentioned (as recalled by Steve in the episode): Guitar: Charvel Custom (“The Green Meanie”) Amp: Carvin X100B (“ice pick” sharp tone) Delay: Roland SDE-3000 rack delay Setup: two SDE-3000s - one for mono delay, one used as chorus via chaining Overdrive: amp set with drive + a kick-in pedal for solos Sitar: Choral sitar (electric) Thanks / credit: Shout-out and thanks to Ned Evett for connecting the conversation and for the Galway link-up.
