[MrShaneshanker]

Vai and Satch on Letterman... He must have shit himself... Lol.

[ryanw1pool]

letterman is so out of touch and he keeps getting handed legands and he has no clue what drops in his lap, what a prick

[HUNTERYOUGAF]

Introducing Garth Algar on bass...

[mesahamer]

perhaps the most naturally gifted to ever play rock guitar

[Chefkoch523]

His guitar licks are tasty!!!

[GrooveJuiceGoody]

Hahha, Letterman said "Steven Vai" xDD!

[napik08]

@GrooveJuiceGoody his name is steven siro vai (correct me if im wrong)

[GrooveJuiceGoody]

@napik08 I know it is, :D. It's just funny hearing someone say Steven Vai :P It's just not right! :P

[hellevonequities]

I liked Liberty better than Ballerina. Some kick ass lines in it.

[peniosasdasd]

At the first bit when he's just shredding, I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

Lets just say this is not your standard letterman performance?

[xXxXEmoSparkleBoyxXx]

peniosasdasd-

Made YOU feel a bit uncomfortable? Huh? Explain yourself.

[peniosasdasd]

Because nobody was doing anything other than Vai on stage.

[kbizzle999]

It's the song ballerina 12/24

it's not supposed to be anything but steve vai

La Ballerina se llama Bella Rousa

[Ninjaro]

Seven string... Hmmmmm....

[JP1rocks]

steve vai is so awesome

[wjv4me]

HE IS GREAT! The one song about the Gods is so hauntingly beautiful too.

Thanks for sharing this, never saw it before.

[WarmothGuitarist]

@wjv4me I think you mean "For the Love of God"...

[JammastaJ23]

Holy shit

[darkmaul1993]

YOUNG DAVID LETTERMAN ! BEAUTIFUL LMAO

Great vid, btw

[400SA]

LOVE THAT GUITAR!!! Love Steve's playing around this time also, his tone was so cool!!!

[myownservant]

The audience was prolly like, 'what the hell'

Good stuff

[MrGoodnix]

goddam longest fingers in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock steve!!!

[prutsikas]

he makes it look so easy....

[WizardofGuitar]

wow! he is really great!

[tonezillap90]

simply amazing...

Mr. Vai IS the MOZART of this time in musical history......

[wsdasda]

And he invented this piece sometimes when do try to play is parts on guitar i feel like i'm stepping on someone playing although you can learn alot from is playing, is sound is not a wall noise

[hardhatarea]

Vai is really difficult phenomenon. He is a brilliant musician but on the other hand he sometimes goes very unmusical. And people are discussing whether it's difficult to play or not. Who gives a f**k if it is difficult when it sounds trash.

[langestock]

people are impressed by it

if they like being impressed, how can you blame them for wanting to watch it happen?

[Vinniemoore89]

Gold record for that album

It "Must" sound like shit

jealousy is the sincerest form of flattery :)

[hardhatarea]

I believe th "89" in your username tells it all.

[jooman77]

steve vai is a person who enjoys some dissonance

and he is not playing his music to be mainstream and for people to treat it like a pop record but his style exceeds many in the way where he brings out his personality in his guitar

[hardhatarea]

Thank you sir. Now it all makes sense.

[jooman77]

no problem

[fadethetrade]

which meds are you on?????try crack,maybe it will balance it out a little.

[bellozionegro]

ballerina is very very very difficult to play......

[solofotis]

He is the best..No one can play what he plays

[guitarplayeraustin]

what does he play in the beggining.

[AceN4]

He plays Ballerina from Passion and Warfare dude.

You should probably buy that album.

[guitarplayeraustin]

Yeah I bought it two days ago after I found out. dude check out my cover of liberty if you want. im 13. :D

[AceN4]

Yeah sure buddy. Cover it in a couple of days.

I will not check out your video.

[guitarplayeraustin]

ok.

[megahdeth]

oh your 13? do you want a cookie or something? there's guitarists who are 8 that play so what, come talk to us in a couple of years when you write some stuff like liberty, and not just show that your just '13'.

[guitarplayeraustin]

Oh sure I'd love a fucking cookie!! :D

[CHICKPEASLUSTS]

Hey guitarplayeraustin, don't let the haters bring you down. Sounds to me like they've got a serious case of jealousy. Watch part of your vid, nice playing. Wish I could have done that at 13. Definite talent there, keep up the good work.

[nightmarecinema33]

Why are you such a douche? That was uncalled for.

[halff24]

what?! jack butler?! steve's name is acctually jack butler?

[AceN4]

Yes, Steve Vai's name is Jack Butler.

Are you serious!?

GIT!

[jaymaster345]

his real name is Steven Siro Vai

[AceN4]

Um yes thank you for that.

I knew that.

I was joking.

I also see that you have read Mr. Vai's wiki page.

Don't talk to me.

[jaymaster345]

didn't mean to spoil the joke mister!!!! great performance

[firebird116]

He discourages a lot a up and coming boys!

[weddingcam]

He's name is Jack Butler

[TheBumblingRoadie]

Hehe, "Steven Vai" at the end.

[Guitarristiko]

Increible video, Definitivamente steve Vai es un genio, grandes canciones del "Passion and warfare". Aunque los musicos del programa de Letterman no estaban al nivel del maestro Vai.

[clips4u2006]

I love her.

[arroyomusic]

Hahaha....that's messed up...

[h0d3d0]

Yeah, baby!
