(Classic Rock) Steve Vai says he can't listen to his favorite artist Tom Waits in public as he's likely to burst out crying. The guitar icon reveals he never goes anywhere without his Waits collection, but he doesn't dare listen unless he's on his own.

Vai tells Wikimetal: "My favorite artist right now is Tom Waits. I never go anywhere without everything he's ever recorded. There are some of his songs that I can't listen to in public because I start uncontrollably weeping.

"There's something about his voice, his music. He's just so connected and unique. I think he's the greatest American artist because he captures an intention and he makes you feel it, if you're connected with it." Read more here.
