Danny suffered from depression for years. Had he gotten the help that he needed he would be alive today. He also struggled with the record companies, trying to get the deal and recognition he deserved.

Vai wasn't bad at all, even if a bit 1-dimensional. However, his statement is dead center bullseye, regardless of his guitar skills or his ability to speak (musically) to a wide audience. Vai's pretty well unknown outside his flavor of guitar, but Gatton was admired by almost anyone who could play the electric with any skill. It's no joke that he was known as "the Humbler" by almost anyone who saw him play.

I had the opportunities but I was too interested in what played at 9:30 Club rather than Club Soda or the Birchmere in those days. I like electric guitar music and honestly Vai isn't my favorite kind of playing, but I respect his abilities and as you can see, Vai understood just how good Danny Gatton was.

Danny Gatton, Roy Buchanan & Roy Clark all came out of D.C. Which is why it's our nation's capital. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter may have come from there, too, but I'm too tired to research just right now. If he did, that's some Mount Rushmore.
