Flex‐Able

Steve Vai

A home-recorded oddity where technical wizardry meets Frank Zappa absurdity. Gritty, playful, and far more experimental than his later arena-rock anthems.

It's like Frank Zappa and a guitar god had a baby in a tool shed.

A whimsical and slightly paranoid exploration of sound that feels like a private joke between the artist and his instruments.
