Steven Siro Vai (n. 6 de junio de 1960, Carle Place, Estados Unidos) es un guitarrista, compositor, y productor musical estadounidense que ha vendido más de 15 millones de álbumes. Después de iniciar su carrera como transcriptor de música para Frank Zappa, Vai grabó y estuvo de gira en la banda de Zappa de 1980 a 1982. Comenzó su carrera como solista en 1983, tiene ocho álbumes en solitario y ha ganado tres premios Grammy. También ha grabado y realizado giras con Public Image Ltd, Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, y Whitesnake. Vai ha sido miembro regular del G3 tour que comenzó en 1995. En 1999, Vai comenzó su propio sello discográfico Favored Nations, con la intención de mostrar como él lo describe, "... a los artistas que han alcanzado el nivel de rendimiento más alto en sus instrumentos elegidos ".[1]​ Ocupa el puesto n°10 de la lista los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, publicada por la revista Guitar World.[2]​

@@gskelton2937 I see the similarities but it's hard to figure out how you respect Kingdom Come when they were even less subtle about ripping off Led Zeppelin, who were quite brazen at ripping off others themselves. :S

@@gskelton2937 most all of rock and roll has been ripping off blues musicians for decades, and they rarely give credit either. There's a reason Tom Petty never got butthurt and sued any artist's over alleged copyright infringement. The Beatles did it, Led Zeppelin did it, the list goes on and on ad nauseum. You can deny the song but there's no logical way to deny the talent.

Different songs. It's conceivable that it inspired Tender Surrender, but there is also VillaNova junction that's said to have inspired Tender Surrender too. Maybe they both did, but we can't say for sure now, can we? Only Vai can. That said, this is very common in music, things build on other things, people get inspired by others' works, and where required, copyrights are obtained Other than that, what credit do you think he should give, and how?
