Lords Of Karma
A Tribute to Vai/Satriani
The Story
Lords Of Karma: "A Tribute to Vai/Satriani" features past and present members of KISS, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Dokken, Night Ranger, Enuff Z'nuff, TNT and the Smashing Pumpkins paying tribute to the virtuoso guitar stylings of Mr. Steve Vai and Mr. Joe Satriani. The guitar roster includes Bruce Kulick, Jake E. Lee, Neil Zaza, Brad Gillis and George Lynch, among others. Five carefully chosen tracks from each of Satriani's and Vai's compositions are presented, from a cruncher version of Satriani's "Surfing With The Alien" (Lee) to a blistering take on the Vai/Roth/Sheehan/Bissonette recorded "Shy Boy" (Lynch). Lords Of Karma: "A Tribute to Vai/Satriani" is another heady variation on the music that guitar fans can't seem to get enough of.
