actually i think it's a great tune (for what it is - arena rock cheese).

Vai is basically the ultimate hired gun. he went from freaking Frank Zappa to David Lee Roth??? a straight edged calculating conductor of a band leader to the most over the top coked out manwhore (i mean this in the best way possible) of a front man ever?

the guy padded his pockets thanks to whoever would stuff them until he put out the only record non-shredheads might have heard of (Passion and Warfare). even still, his solo discs still sound like a who's who of the best hired guns in the industry.

on the other hand, playing the hired gun role long enough to establish your own label and the ability to just play the crap out of your guitar for kicks all day would be pretty much just like living in paradise to most.
