I don't know who he is but one thing is certain. He has to be one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of the modern era. I've been playing drums for years and I can't even get close to his level much less be able to play an entire concert after that. Definitely top flight!
What makes Steve Vai amazing is not only his music but his stage performance and body language, this guy just fucking loves putting on shows and playing amazing music.
It's like Steve and Billy were born to play together. The greatest on the Bass and the greatest on the guitar. WOW !!!!! Steve Vai has a new solo album coming out this month if I'm not mistaken.
I have this DVD. Years ago I played this clip for some non-guitar friends. They flipped at the scene where they cross play each others axes. Plus, the mix is great on a big stereo.
@@johntimothypascual854 yep Tony Macalpine who appears in this video proves that fact, anyone can learn to play guitar while slaving monotonously and training but still may not have natural musical ability to make listenable and enjoyable music
@@juniorthornton3819 No such thing as talent, that implies you're born with ability. All ability is learned, it's not a debate. What we see Steve Vai doing is the result of tens of thousands of hours of focused and deliberate practice and training. To say he was born with the ability to play guitar is not only ridiculous but an insult to him. He earned his skills, he wasn't just lucky and born this way...
This is the type of musical upload that you'll look up & say to your kids come & watch this: " As This Is Real Talent " But alas not many of the youth I know either play an instrument or listen to music like i/we did... As long as us old timers keep playing music so it , at least gets , past on to the next generation then , I think , that all I can ask & I'll be happy to seeing music in all the various genres being played to fresh young ears as we can't let music to whither away a slow death... Yet another amazing show of musicianship/respect/knowledge of their craft & just loving what they are doing & we need more of this in such trying difficult times... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world... Respect & Love Slainte .....
The audience didn't match the energy. Its a one in a million performance happening in front of them and they're just standing there smiling. Lol steve really made the guitar cry. LEGEND
This took my breath away. I'm a guitarist, already a fan of Vai's and Sheehan's, and I've seen it all. Not saying I'm the greatest or anything. Just I've seen it all. This took my breath away, and I can't recall the last time a piece of guitar heavy music did that. They were on another level. I'm going to return to this performance a lot.
Steve is innovative in alot of aspects of music....I really like the Carvin amps....my first 4-12 cabinet was a carvin...sounded awesome and was more durable than a marshall that cost 3 times more...
