This is so funny to see Steve that young. So confident. He was like young Luke Skywalker. Now he´s more like Yoda. Full of wisdom. Much to learn, you still have 😆
"I've got a new album out, it's called Passion and Warfare". What he meant to say is "I've got a new album out, it's going to completely change the industry standard, raise and elevate anything you've ever heard, and make this appearance here as a member of Whitesnake a mere footnote in history."
What are talking about? That's the same old shit hippies were say in the late sixties, minus the don't do drugs claptrap. PS I'll bet Steve was coked up the whole time. LOL
@@orbithesun1 save environment..., in 1990. Steve Vai was really heard the sounds then. In 1990 I thought Global Warming was a movie. I was 15 then. Only got to it by 42, 2017.
Everyone saying he's egotistical here. He's way less egotistical than many other musicians were at the time, and still are today. He's behaving very humorously and not taking himself too damn seriously. What's wrong with that??
brightbite Yeah, I don't get it, I always hear people complain about his ego. He joked a lot about himself in this video, and I've seen him in serious interviews be very polite and honest, I think people confuse ego with confidence, he has confidence but I don't think he is over the top...
Well obviously here you can see that was a fashion back then. And personally i think that this is one weird phase that he was going through. This looks like he is trying to be cocky but it is not really like that. It is nothing special.
Hope you don't mind me replying on a year old comment, but I'm also flabbergasted at people thinking Steve has an ego when he's just having fun. I still have a German guitar magazine from 2003 featuring an interview with him where he had stated that he finds it weird how people regard him as a great guitar virtuoso when he knows plenty people that could easily outplay him. He's part genius, part goofball, all around wonderful musician.
this is gonna sound weird but the one actor that I think looks the most like Vai is Christian Bale. I don't know if that's still the case because they seem to age a bit differently. But if you look at Vai in that movie where he plays some kind of asshole... (crossroads?). I was shocked at how much he looked like Bale. Of course their demeanor is not the same but Bale is such a great actor and if he shed the weight down again I think he could probably play him great. Now... of course I don't think there's any plan to make a movie about Vai...
Wayne A and here you are making up stories like a hillbilly on meth. Media does this to every celeb who does not want to play the game, aand here you are like a sheep eating their every word.
Joel Louiseize 😂😂😂😂😂 they way past their primes that sight happening. And if it does it will just be some crappy joe bonamassa blues fest. Fuck that I’m good. Make another ultra zone Stevie Pleaseeeeeeeee
great album, but I disagree. I don't think I dislike a single record he's put out. He fires on all cylinders. The styles shift, but the passion's always there
I dont think it was a ego check. The names he was mentioning before hand were labels/groups. Steve Vai is a person. It would be weird to refer yourself as a group. He knows it and everyone else knows there will only be one Steve Vai, so why mention it as an option people can become part of?
Steven Siro Vai (Carle Place, 6 de junio de 1960) 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 ". Ocupa el puesto n°10 de la lista los mejores guitarristas de todos los tiempos, publicada por la revista Guitar World.
If I could go back to 1990 I would of totally bought one of the 7 string guitars and hope on the bandwagon way before everyone starting playing 7 strings
You misunderstand. I wasn't upset by your comment. I think Steve's music is great, you think it's horrible. The internet is big enough for the both of us. My point regarding the horror was the analog process of writing letters vs modern day digital correspondence.
Just how he was so humble, not getting big head while being so young and probably the best electric guitarist in the world is so admirable! and besides - did not take drug!!
Although I can hear some Satch Boogie in it, I always felt it was much more heavily influenced by Van Halen's Hot for Teacher. Vai even does the same tapping lick as EVH.
mojopin 70 Yeah I thought I might have the dates wrong slightly. It carried over for a few years till grunge showed up. Then it was cool not to shower lol.
***** I'll give you that !...the start of the 90s wasn't much different to the late 80s in terms of music and fashion. I did welcome the Grunge movement though it was a nice change....
I've seen Steve Vai live a few times and he has a way of interacting with the audience with humour, great playing and just an all round great show. For those who think it's going to be a boring guitar chops exhibition that only guitar players will enjoy, think again . Steve Vai is a gift to the world 🤘
Can't blame Nirvana. People were sick of the over produced 80s Heavy Metal. They wanted a chance. If not for Nirvana, it would have been someone else. It was time for a change anyway.
the SYMBIOSIS of which I am talking about is that Kurt Cobain (lead guitar and lead Vocal, also composer) in Nirvana, never would agree to play (guitar obvius) like this metal heads and all this metal fanzee.
@@user-cs6up8eq7s He didn't perform with him but they worked on material for a possible album. One song was released on his Ozzmosis album called My Little Man
