He was one of the best musical talents in Halo 2. He gave it that feel that pumped you up before you even played. A few years pass and Halo 3 comes out. I gotta tell ya that right away, I was hyped. I was like, "Oh yeah, let's pop this baby in and let the tunes roll!" So I start to play, and after awhile, I realise THERE'S NO STEVE VAI!!! What gives!? He was great in Halo 2. Did they not have the funding? (Though I really doubt it.) I looked it up and there isn't even as much as a mention as to why he wasn't in Halo 3. It'd be really helpful if someone could answer this for me.
