Damn this brings me back! Remember a time when musicians made videos, had fun & had actual musical talent? Remember when every single band wasn't just some flash in the pan that's popular for 2 months and then gone? These guys unfortunately weren't one of the more popular groups, even though they DEFINITELY deserved to be, but unlike today,Alcatrazz was competing with 100s of other talented bands in the 80s.One member of this band has more talent than Lady Gaga, 50 Cent & Kings Of Leon combined!
@russianimp1 Actually I remember that many bands had one great hit that stayed on the radios for one week and then you never heard of them again, I remember this band had lucky that it kept around for longer, other bands like Quite riot, at least me, never heard of them untill Vice city came out nearly 20 years later....
this is awesome. i love you tube for this reason. finding stuff i should have seen. steve really fits the solo section! grahams vocals rule as always.
Only good thing Malmsteen did was that he joined Alcatrazz and only bad thing was leaving it, two good things Steve Vai did were joining Alcatrazz and leaving it
they should have had a scene in this video where steve vai goes up against malmsteen in a duel my moneys on vai malmsteen sucks and always plays the same neo classical phrases and if you want to hear some of vais best playing watch the end of the crossroads film the solo at the end was played by vai and ralph maccio the karate kid did a good job miming on the guitar but its a very good solo i think it was originally a paganini violin piece good either way
Wow.. i Cant think of anything that is GAY about this Video.. The Song is GAY, the Band name is Gay.. If I were Vai, i probably massacre all the band members..
Graham Bonnet is a fantastic singer, even still to this day infact if your lucky enough to catch him. Steve Vai? What more needs to be said about him, utter bloody genius.
hhaha This song sucks but Steve Vai haha always awesome lol you no you're a bad ass when your first video appearance shows you in zebra print pants and you still manage to have a career lol
con todos los respetos para Yngwie Malmsteen,...absolutamente todo lo que toca Steve Vai es infinitamente mas diferente a lo que hacemos el resto de guitarristas en el mundo.
This video sucks, God did not bless this video at all. I see why Yngwie left, but I can't understand why Steve Vai is in so many bad videos. I mean, he knows how to make a good one, like the Audience is Listening, why doesn't he say something?
Let me get this streight,you see why YJM left the band in the middle of a tour high and dry rather he screwed over the guys that was making him famous?I guess Axle Rose had a good reason to screw Metallica over also,ha,ha.Cmon man it was the 80's and everyone was making cheesy ass vids.
Axle Bailed in the middle of a tour,when James got hurt from the pyro technicsThey asked him to finish that show and he thought they were upstaging GNR and refused.
