Why did Steve Vai leave David Lee Roth?

Answer 1

Vai wanted to continue on in the esoteric direction of "Skyscraper," which he'd co-produced, whereas Roth was discovering the blues and wanted to produce a blues-rock album. No fighting -- just creative differences.

One can hear Roth's new blues-rock direction (with Jason Becker on guitar) on "A Little Ain't Enough," and Vai's more impressionistic guitar-playing on "Passion and Warfare."

Answer 2

Ok. Whitesnake is nice band, good songs, melodies etc. Stevie Vai is showman. He wants to be the centar of attention. In Whitesnake attention is to David Coverdale. Second: Stevie likes ultimate fast solos, Whitesnake prefer fast but not as fast as Stevie plays, so Stevie wants to approve himself as genius. He wants to work alone and make music he likes. People like Stevie Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Michael Angelo Batio cannot be hired in any band. You give them to lead the band and play the music their want or no chance - find someone else to play in your band.

Answer 3
