Steve Vai - Tender Surrender (TEC Awards 2012)

[Jopiiin]

genioooooooooooooo

[troypitts]

i agree really not the same the music doesnt even really sound the same to much effects

[xSOUNDWAVE56x]

That guitar screams like his bitch. Proof that he was the first man to make love to guitar and ears.

[xcoverdalex]

master of masters!

[machubtw]

Much better in short hair for me.

[evilRZ]

AXE FX !!

[snoopsterianul]

It's just not the same without him running his hand through his hair repeatedly during the song.

[MazeGuitarMan]

He isn't the same =(

[TiipX]

He looks like my mom.

[paultreselli]

what a surreal experience. How can anyone not get stoked playing this live? It's just an orgasmic sounding tune with soaring cliffs of emotional exuberance!

[trexroth]

Al Roker is a talented band leader!

[JonahLukeHeavyshield]

I love Steve Vai and all... But he looks like a Skinny Elton John here lol.

[narizet]

5:05 till end the trumpeter in the middle looks at steve in a mmfff way xD

[VaiRendy]

hes not play the best because:

1. he didnt play with the band that knows his music

2. his hair is short

3. no fan and theater lighting

4. he didnt use his 'jim cary' facial expression

5. the video engineer is stupid

6. no dancing

7. we cant enjoy this because we take everything too seriously

SO STOP BAD COMMENTING AND JUST ENJOY..!!!

[CREWDOG289]

soulfull

[VirusofLife9]

Steve Vai is the Vivaldi of the 21st century.

[toddallenhooper]

This is awesome!

[earydog]

charlie sheen

[manmademan1983]

from here to the original ver

[jaibhakti]

Hahahaha!!!!!

If you don't smile while listening to this...or laugh out loud at the sheer humor and brilliance at the way Steve ends this tune... you need to get your head checked! At 2:37 the sky was crying!

Bravo!!!!

Congratulations Steve!!!

[Landvai]

Carvin Legacy III And FLO III Very Bad, I prefer The LEGACY 1 and EVO lml

[Krylov19]

@Landvai He didn't play with the Legacy 3 here, he was plugged into the Legacy 1 located on the left. On the other hand I certainly agree about EVO, there's too much sustainer on every single track now. Bring the classical neck pickup back more often Steve !

[SteveManArg]

Steve Vai hair cut 2012 = Keanu Reeves in Matrix (NEO)

[HowieMusicLtd]

at 3:44 he looked like michael angelo batio with shorter hair

[emannuell99]

Charlie Sheen's twin brother!

[MrAllanCorinthians]

Steve Vai Seems Like Charlie Sheen Playing Guitar Instead Piano

[donjuan833]

[forgigg]

[VincesMusic1]

I bet his pink is longer than the average dick

[JACVA1]

LONG HAIR SHORT HAIR, IS STEVE VAI!!!!!!

[Tongaaaaas]

I've just discovered that Charlie Sheen can play the guitar

[MUSIC4GUITARDOTCOM]

@Tongaaaaas DRYY ASS not funny

[enanotech]

no more hair fan on stage!!!!!

[davester10121]

i think steve does look better with his longer hair . . . .

[Maidenzzwrath]

buckethead is still better and Eric Johnson

[bigbadosker]

@Maidenzzwrath Oh yeah prove it? How old are you and you're still compairing guitarists? It's not a fucking football match

[Maidenzzwrath]

@bigbadosker im 22 and i know my music very well but,we have all different opinions in music, my dad loves steve vai and i grow up lisning to his music, but i still do prefer other guitarists than him.

[ghsdfghsfghfghfgn]

@Maidenzzwrath get the fuck outa here vai is god

[MUSIC4GUITARDOTCOM]

@ghsdfghsfghfghfgn JOE SATRIANI IS GOD

[pitthimalaya]

[YichenWang]

[WEISSERZWERG]

[JasminMusicHimself]

Awesome like always !!!

[petrucci619]

Porno Music <3

[preto606]

Steve Vai incrível



[3p10y]

1:13 it sounds like...

[indrewjones]

Since when did Steve Vai switch to an all scalloped fret board?

[JUMBOpin]

@indrewjones a while now..........

[outbook]

@indrewjones it says flo III lol

[CriolloJulio]

@indrewjones 2009 was 1st time he used scaloped fret boards,, then in 2010 start to use it... but just between 16/17ft and 24 ft

[enanotech]

@indrewjones looooggg time!



[CREWDOG289]

@indrewjones he should release a jem with everything installed

[joaomarcos66]

@indrewjones each of his guitars has a difference ,this is the FLO III,that is all scalloped.

[SuperJBrowne]

@joaomarcos66 Also it has the Sustainiac system, the other one doesn't. I have "FLO" myself but it has the Tru Temperament fret system as well.

[poseidon26ful]

@indrewjones sorry i was wrong you are right ;-) all scalloped fret board its a new ibanez that he hes its the flo nuber 3 ;-)

[CosmicOsmosisify]

@indrewjones The Vai signature Ibanez model has always had frets 18-24 scalloped.

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

@indrewjones steve vai scalloped some of the frets because of Yngwie malmsteen tips him, they are good friends. And Malmsteen was the first in the world to scallop the guitar.

[kevinusjang]

I really am a fan of Steve, but he has been taking too much liberty with his fame and has not been performing to his level that he demonstrated a decade ago. It's unfortunate that after years of whammy bar gimmicks without technical challenges, he can no longer perform his signature piece live.

[CapnCheezburger]

@kevinusjang Without technical challenges? What would you call 4:06 to 4:20, then?

[kevinusjang]

@CapnCheezburger listen to Yw74sDWPH7U (the first one that comes up w/ searching tender surrender) and see how sloppy he is in this video

[3p10y]

this is his off night..not a typical vai performance

[IcoTheBest]

AXE FX II EVERYWHERE

[DaviSharmahn]

YOU ROCK!!

[Davidoh1]

Nice subtle changes

[GarageRockk]

I didnt know Charlie Sheen was a guitar god.. WINNING

[pauly414]

what's going on with his tone, awful, you can tell he's not feeling it.

[pitrssach]

Nice Steve :o)

[doncamerino40]

WOO , WOO , WOO !!!

[ThisIsShredWar]

He looks like charlie Sheen ^^

[sereluchia]

I officially raped the "like" button.

[zetmarcio]

esse cara e um alien pow...

[cisco2fun1]

noticed a bit of uncomfortability on this performance !?1?1?  not sure why!!!?? but bit of struggle on his part playing that particular piece!!!??

[Denisjj]

@cisco2fun1 I noticed it aswell, not hes best performance of this piece...

[cisco2fun1]

@Denis J yeah ...for sure !! maybe he did not feel the amp .. but it had to do with his playing and tone as if he struggled it a bit !!!

[Denisjj]

@cisco2fun1 Indeed, he's performance here is just not as smooth as it normally is, and yeah the tone isnt quite right either, to bad really.

[jarlcarrerorl]

Muy espectacular, pero me dice más Gilmour con 2 notas.

[FallenPrey33]

Absolutely awesome!

[ckols]

pide clemensia esa GUITARRA simplemente lomejor libra por libra.,

[fasfury]

Great and somes things change and yet stay the same, but change is good as the video was also.

[xarthurz]

[Makizchan]

[dtgonzalez1]

Vai ur awesome!!!!!

[distortionchris]

steve is a badass.

[TheSaintemplar64]

Not a great sound tbh... heard better from Vai :/

[CodyHernek94]

steve vai :( what happened to your hair

[gaiolinn]

@CodyHernek94 Was thinking precisely the same..dafuq.

Also..didn't sound good to me.

Guess hair was part of his skill.

[CodyHernek94]

@gaiolinn the guitar tone he's using is extremely dry which makes it twice as hard to play.

[rimwrecka100590]

WOW

[MarkoBFMV]

legend!



[bajozeroar]

esta totalmente mal de la capocha

[ArturoHakuna]

4:58 the band says: Oh my fucking Steve-Vai! , God is here!!

[micahguitar14]

anybody else noticed the feelings went gone at 3:03 compared to original.

[shardprime]

Excellent playing as always, Vai man. Using a different amp, though? Something sounds different.

[TheNachman148]

[dedealdrianvandenber]

Nice stuff.... from Indonesia

[vish11firefly]

Right! So this time i'm in the best section of youtube! This must be some really good weed! :D

[ntbillie]

@vish11firefly It's not weed mann. It's porn. Guitar porn!

[vish11firefly]

@ntbillie Haha, yes! But now that I'm sober, I can easily listen to it and call it the best Man-Machine porn ever, where a Man(read: God) 'fornicates'(LOL) with the machine :P

[mathiasjabs]

always awesome!

[zimbalist]

why did you go back to straight frets when you spoke so fondly of tt-frets?

kickass performance btw!!!

[spiderman97828]

Vai still perfored pretty good considering the circumstances that he was playing with a back up band and not his band... He also was playing with pleanty of soul.

[gioak100]

i prefer classic version :S

[masboeng]

stupid comment >_<

[topperspoppers]

was that will lee speaking at the beginning? i was hoping to see him play with steve...

guys who dont really like jazzy stuff... check out oz noy and will lee!

[logyscott]

vai is just ridiculous, one of the best ever hands down

[note979]

Most of the top.

[Austin4a]

I didn't know Severus Snape played the trumpet.

[efhess]

0:34 Santana???

[Phishboy26]

Im sorry but Steve Vai doesnt need a figure skating or award show band to back him up.

[jnrplay123]

Albert einstein da guitarra !

[PerdroYouRock7]

mt bom steve vai em 2012 promete!

[rojtria28]

WOW!



[NDR1990ful]

Gênio!!!

[pilo600rr]

@ThePODXT hey!! thats called style dude!!

[brunoheel]

Peça rara esse Steve.. Toca muito e pode qualquer trejeito.

[shredicon86]

Vai needs to use 10s or something, cos this tone was a bit weak sounding.

[Phishboy26]

@shredicon86 Im sure if he wasn't playing with an awards show band he would have been much louder.

[shredicon86]

@Phishboy26 Tone, not volume. Lighter guage strings sound inherently weaker than the 10s he uses in the studio. To be honest, even with this band, Tender Surrender should have been really easy to nail as its a simple arrangement (probably why it was chosen).

[davevondo]

@shredicon86 I feel sorry for you.............

[ThePODXT]

Fail at 1:57 - 1:58 

[ishay777777777]

that wan not very good to be frankly with you

[ClassicShotMK3]

What are the TEC awards?

[Niggatome]
