Born on June 6, 1960, and raised in Carle Place, NY, Vai became concerned in the guitar via such legendary artists as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Alice Cooper as a teen and, upon starting high school school, took lessons with an elder histrion from his older high school school, Joe Satriani. Playing in various local bands, Vai rapidly picked up on the cat's-paw, and by the eld of 18 was attending the famed Berklee School of Music in Boston. As a student there, Vai canned several of Frank Zappa's most technically demanding compositions for guitar, and regular sent a copy of i such arranging, "Black Page," to Zappa himself. Zappa was so impressed with the thomas Young guitar role player that upon group confluence him, he invited Vai to link his stripe. Later on, Vai toured the populace with Zappa (giving Vai the nicknames "Stunt Guitarist" and "Little Italian Virtuoso") and played on such albums as 1981's Tinsel Town Rebellion and You Are What You Is, 1982's Ship Arriving Too Late, 1983's Man from Utopia, asset 1984's Them or Us and Thing Fish, earlier going away to set out on his own. First off was a partner off of self-financed, recorded, and released solo albums in 1984, Flex-Able and Flex-Able Leftovers, both of which showcased Vai's guitar playacting and songwriting talents, until now were motionless heavily influenced byZappa. With Van Halen all the madness by the mid-'80s due to their massive toilsome rock/pop crossover success, Vai replaced Yngwie Malmsteen in a similarly styled kit called Alcatrazz (which featured previous Rainbow vocalizer Graham Bonnett), playing on their unnoted 1985 freeing Distressful the Peace. The same year, Vai made a cameo appearance in the motion picture Juncture (playing the devil's guitarist and shredding away in a guitar duel with Ralph Macchio) and got an invite from his friend/bass maestro Billy Sheehan to seek out for the guitar pip in singer David Lee Roth's solo band (Philip Milton Roth had merely rent from Van Halen), and finally landed the fishgig. 1986 adage the debut release from Roth and his astral solo band, Eat 'Em and Smile, which went on to suit one of the year's top difficult john Rock releases. Both Vai and Sheehan were catapulted to superstardom referable to their instrumental talents, as they took top honors in numerous guitar magazines for days afterwards. Merely although the quartet showed smashing promise, Sheehan jumped ship exactly subsequently their sophomore record album, Skyscraper, was issued in 1988. Although the album was more pop-based than its predecessor, it became another ample hit -- with Vai earning a co-producing deferred payment on the album along with Roth. The same class, Vai issued his have railway line of snazzy guitars, the Jem 777 series, via the Ibanez company. After the ensuing go with Roth absorbed up in late 1988, it was Vai's turn to leap transport. In addition to running on another solo record album, he was invited to fall in up with chart-topping pop-metallists Whitesnake, an extend he recognized. His one and only if album with Whitesnake, Parapraxis of the Tongue, was issued in 1989, as was his third solo album overall, Passion and Warfare, a year by and by. The album was based on dreams that Vai experient as a adolescent, as the largely instrumental record album became a goodly attain, earning gold certificate and curing Vai's standing as one of the top guitarists of the day. It was besides around this time that Vai created a seven-string guitar through Ibanez. Although the tool didn't catch on initially, it would by the mid to recent '90s, when the guitarists in such alloy acts as Korn and Limp Bizkit would utilize the instrument to attain super-low tunings. After an extended foramen, Vai formed his number one conventional rock band (called...VAI) along with newcomer Devin Townsend on vocals, T.M. Stevens on bass, and Terry Bozzio on drums -- offering their one and only album in 1993, Sex activity & Religion. When the album proved to be a disappointment both critically and commercially, Vai returned back to all-instrumental exploit with the 1995 EP Alien Love Secrets. For the oddment of the ten, Vai continued to egress solo releases, including 1996's Fire Garden, 1998's Flex-Able Leftovers (a re-release of his long out of print second solo album, with added tracks), and 1999's The Ultra Zone. It was besides during the late '90s that Vai and Satriani reunited for an yearly co-headlining go (with a different third creative person added each class), called G3, unleashing a live album, G3: Live in Concert, in 1997. The early twenty-first century proverb a ado of releases from Vai, including a compiling of instrumentals, The seventh Song: Enchanting Guitar Melodies Archive, in 2000, and his number one full-length live release, Alive in an Ultra World, in 2001, as well as his mammoth career-encompassing ten-disc box determine The Secret Jewel Box. In 2002, he equanimous several pieces that he had contributed to films through the years, including the guitar duel from Crossroads and the melodic theme to Federal Reserve note and Ted's Bogus Journey and place them together in a 40-track accumulation called The Elusive Light and Sound, Vol. 1. A series of compilations came next and subsequently a five-year respite from the studio, Vai returned in 2005 with Real Illusions: Reflections. A turn with the Metropole Orchestra followed and he released a challenging double live determine documenting his performances, highborn Sound Theories, Vols. twelve, in 2007. Over the long time, Vai guested on unnumerable albums by other artists, including Gregg Bissonette's self-titled debut and Submarine, Alice Cooper's Hey Stoopid, Randy Coven's Casimir Funk Me Tender, Al di Meola's Countless Desire, Public Image Ltd.'s Album, Joe Jackson's Symphony 1, and Billy Sheehan's Compression. He can likewise be ground on such additional Zappa releases as Jazz from Hell, Exclude Up 'N Play Yer Guitar, Guitar, and on several volumes of the ongoing You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore series and the live protection phonograph record, Zappa's Universe. As if his busy schedule weren't full enough, Vai pursued a lifelong interest when he began harvest honey among five-spot bee colonies in the backyard of his rest home. |

Albert Hammond Jr, Como Te Llama? Album Review
Album critical review of 'Como Te Llama?' by Albert Hammond Jr released on Rough Trade.
While most members of The Strokes are enjoying an extended r'n'r break (it's been over two long time since their last release), it would seem fair to say guitarist Albert Hammond Jr. does non quite ploughshare their love life of downtime. This is his sec solo exit, following on from 2006's "Yours To Keep".
Given that he is usually associated with playacting garage-rock, some may be surprised with quite how eclectic this offering Hammond Jr. is. It begins with a folk riff on "Bargain Of The Century", a relaxing identification number with attention-grabbing tempo changes, while "In My Room" is light rock'n'roll with guitars that punch passim.

Jason Bateman Says A 'Bent And Twisted' Story Is Ready For 'Arrested Development' Movie
Six months after teasing MTV with news that an "Arrested Development" movie was in the very earliest of stages, "Hancock" star Jason Bateman told an assembled crowd Tuesday night that the Bluths were almost certainly heading to the big screen — and boy will it be strange.
"It's typically bent and twisted," Bateman said of the story concocted by series mastermind Mitchell Hurwitz. "He's got a really, really good idea for the movie version that would not be just simply the equivalent of four episodes back to back to back. It's actually something that would be specific to the medium of film."
A bent and twisted script is exactly what devoted fans of the series would hope for and expect. After all, "Arrested Development," which was canceled in February 2006, introduced such topics as the Never Nude, the puppet Franklin Delano Bluth, and "a family friend with only one arm!"
Bateman smiled. "Who thinks up that [stuff]?"
So what's the holdup? Not Bateman, certainly. And not anyone else actually involved in the show, he insisted. It's the Bluths' biggest problem that threatens to delay the film indefinitely: money.
"We all want to do it. All the actors want to do it, the writers want to do it, and the boss wants to do it. And they are working on making a deal, probably as we speak," Bateman said. "But it's a long, sort of drawn-out, complicated business process. 'Arrested Development' is such a specific tone, it doesn't lend itself to mass appeal, as played out by the fact that it's canceled. So it has to be done for a price. They can't spend the money they spent on 'Hancock.'
"So they have to shoot it for a small price, and we have to figure out if we can do it for that price," he continued. "They're working it out, and hopefully we'll be able to know something in the next month."
In the meantime, keep the series alive, Bateman said — even if you do it by accosting him in the streets.
"When people come up to me [to talk about 'Arrested Development'], I'm right there with 'em," he laughed. "There's some narcissism in it!"

Jon Favreau’s Insistence on Paycheck Is a Sticking Point in ‘Iron Man 2’ Negotiations
Yesterday, Iron Man director Jon Favreau blogged on MySpace that even though his movie has made a half-billion dollars at the worldwide box office, Marvel Studios hasn't called him in weeks. Making the situation even more uncomfortable is the fact that he's not yet signed on to helm the film's sequel, with an already-announced April 2010 release date fast approaching. Now, IESB reports that the reason the studio's been out of touch is because Favreau asked for a "moderate bump" in pay for Iron Man 2, and Marvel chief David Maisel balked.
According to IESB's source, Favreau is only seeking "the regular standard director's fee" (approximately 900 million times your salary), but Maisel isn't convinced that he's integral to IM2's success. Obviously we're pretty sure that his involvement was integral to the first movie's being awesome, and we'd hate to see him not get the job. Is this all just studio posturing, or would Maisel really hire someone else? Who could possibly be as qualified and as cheap as the director of Elf, anyway? Can nerd outrage on the blogosphere fix this awful mess? If only it were that simple!

Zohan takes Israel to the movies
Given that an Adam Sandler film has roughly the same relationship to reality that a dirty limerick has to a Shakespeare sonnet, the temptation to take a semi-serious look at a film like You Don�t Mess With The Zohan, his latest, is hardly obligatory. It�s the story of a superhuman Mossad agent who, tired of the apparently endless conflict between Israel and its neighbours, fakes his death and moves to New York to pursue his dream of styling hair at Paul Mitchell�s salon.
It also features almost non-stop dick jokes, and possibly the worst Israeli accent ever committed to film, but considering how few Hollywood films deal with Israel or Israelis except in the most cursory fashion, a little glance at Zohan�s motley cinematic predecessors is probably more worthwhile than pondering the running MILF and GMILF gags.
Not counting decades of biblical epics, the keystone of Hollywood�s Israel movies is probably Exodus, Otto Preminger�s 1960 epic adaptation of Leon Uris� bestselling novel, and a relic of a time when Israel was still riding on a wave of grudging international goodwill. That film, along with Cast A Giant Shadow (1966) and Black Sunday (1976) helped foster the image of the Israeli soldier, commando and secret agent as fantastically resourceful and courageous � an image pushed over into parody by Sandler�s Zohan. The image of Sandler taking a terrorist�s gun apart before he fires a shot is really only a mild comedic exaggeration of Robert Shaw as a Mossad agent in Black Sunday, hanging off the Goodyear blimp while trying to prevent Black September terrorists from detonating a bomb over the Super Bowl.
Israel�s retaliation for the murder of Israeli athletes by PLO terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics helped bring the Mossad out of the shadows, and Israel�s reputation for audacity was further buffed up by Raid On Entebbe, a 1977 TV movie featuring a young James Woods in a proto-Zohan role, playing a sniper on the commando team that freed 100 Israeli hostages in a daring real-life nighttime raid. Since then, however, Israel�s public image has suffered a relentless harrowing, and on the movie screen Mossad agents have regularly been glimpsed in passing, usually retired and working as mercenaries in the thuggish supporting cast of action films, or suffering from guilt and doubt, like Eric Bana in Steven Spielberg�s recent Munich.
Israeli society gets portrayed with a lighter touch � in Zohan, Tel Aviv comes off like a cross between an Ibiza rave and Pride weekend in Miami. There�s plentiful basis for this in fact, but its movie genesis can be glimpsed in the throngs of attractive young Israeli soldiers with their chic khaki uniforms and Sten guns in films like Exodus and Cast A Giant Shadow, particularly the leggy young Israeli women in their rolled-up shorts and sun hats. The notion of sexy Israel probably begins with Senta Berger meeting Kirk Douglas in Cast A Giant Shadow, telling Douglas about her husband in the Palmach, while admitting drily that the sex isn�t so good, and encouraging Douglas to try his chances with her anyway. Forty years later this has metastasized into Zohan nonchalantly sexing up a cohort of elderly hair salon clients, which may, depending on how the film is received when it opens this Friday, be added to the long list of adversity that the Israel has endured since its founding.
