No, no, no!!!!! His first gig was transcribing music for Frank Zappa!
Here is a quote from his site:
Vai first stepped into the spotlight in 1980 as a guitarist in Frank Zappa's band. But Vai's indelible contribution to music came during his solo career, which includes combined sales of nearly six million albums. His debut - "Flex-Able" (1984, self-released) – set the stage for Vai's most influential and best-selling album – "Passion and Warfare" (1990, Relativity). The album expanded the lexicon of rock guitar and ushered in an era of guitar virtuosos in the early '90s. Ironically, two record labels dropped Vai while he recorded the breakthrough album.
He did play with Roth but long after Zappa...and only for a little while and he also played with Heresy, Alcatrazz, and Whitesnake...
