Steve Vai - For the Love of God (Music video)

[djashbaa]

I think I just fell in love...

[DropDubz]

Overwhelming sense of emotion. Words cant explain.

[zomgitzakitteh]

4:10 isnt that SAME clip in a commercial for that new movie abot the three whale traped under ice?

[manasparekh]

very amateur video. doesn't do justice to the song.



[AKKodiak1969]

Steve Vai is MY generation, not the current one.

Public Image Ltd., Alcatrazz, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake.

[RabenShield]

Joe Satriani and steve vai are true legend

[FourPie]

The whole song is one insane guitar solo!

I was surprised there wasn't at least one UFO in all those images. Strange . . .

[Fachry2012]

[cyberwaffles]

This video really shows how intelligent Steve Vai is. 

[Immigrant312]

this video is hilarious

[JacobSensi]

He's God...

[arcanumi]

Amazing pictures.

[electromanjofi]

18 dislikes? nice try justin bieber! .l.

[RoederGaming]

@electromanjofi It's getting old. Stop it.

[Nirazification]

perfectionist!!...couldn't get any better than this...

[TheEnigmaDevil]

I wonder who all are those 18 people who disliked this song....

[LuteroReforma]

@TheEnigmaDevil 18 people are Justin Bieber fans...

[Eo4EFB]

at 4:11 the whales from the new movie show up!

[TheArista18]

u hve given all total freedom .. lovely ..

[EquinoxParadox91]

Bear Grylls found a guitar!

[EquinoxParadox91]

@Raittarian Not the case at all? Even if it was, who cares?! Weirdo.

[GraviolaOfficial]

I wonder how many girls he's gotten because of this song....

Porra ele toca demais , essa melodia é muito boa,reflexiva .

Mito!

[MetalproF1]

Passion and warfare, one of the best music masterpieces

[sumo782]

[darkbanshee22]

You can hear his soul through this beautiful song...

[ozzydios]

master-

[prog4evr]

The song title, "For the Love of God," of course is a double entendre. I hope, most of the other commentors, that Steve is really exalting the love of God...but then again...

[FRANCECHILD]

MAY THE LIGHT OF GODS MUSIC KEEP US BLESSED IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. AMEN

[OpethToolMetallica]

Zappa-esque (not that Zappa would ever write something as close to a ballad as this though), though his guitar style is obviously different.

[lgent501]

Verry good

[Musiclogic]

Simply the most cohesive piece of music Steve has ever put out. No flights into the bizarre, no overt oddity and effect laden noise, just a thoroughly conceived piece of music that can be listened to many times through without becoming droal or tiresome. Absolutely the benchmark for Steve Vai Material.

[mina7560]

@eddiekfc yours?

[Fruitloop186]

If I had the proper words, I'd say more than simply 'amazing'

What a talent

[9MinamiKe6]

That fast solo is breathtaking. Always brings a tear to my eye.

[LordNothingam]

4:36 "Dad,I didn't know you play guitar"

[hectorVIDEOSBR]

@LordNothingam 2:32 adolf hitler did not know he played guitar | do not put the name of jesus!

[LordPrutsikas]

@LordNothingam

hahahaha...

[MissZuvi]

i totally love this!!!

[snowleopardstracks]

I had the priveledge of playing drums with him and can only say he is a very nice guy. not stuck up or ego maniac.It was during the sex & religion tour. the peak of my drumming carreer. Thanks for showing this. he is a treasure...

and this is my fave song

[christaoatway]

@snowleopardstracks Height of drum career...also height of husbandry and fatherhood.

[sgperson101]

who says playing fast dosn't mean being soulfull. awesome song

[alejandravantasia]

Simplemente es un Dios!

[HopeD8]

nice manicure Steve x)

[seegui1971]

Great song, but the videoclip just looks like crap, seems like he is just pretending to play the guitar :/

[TheFounderOfNothing]

@MrBlairM No one cares, if youre not a Vai fan then go watch green day or fall out boy, kid.

[jesusdelriodeaguilar]

EL MEJOR INSTRUMENTISTA DE LA HISTORIA EL MEJOR CREADOR ...COMPOSITOR DE LA HISTORIA MOZART VIVALDI SUENA COMERCIAL EN COMPARACION...JEJE LE AMO Y NO SOY GAY LO JURO

15 PERSONAS SON ESTUPIDAS

[djcpegues]

Steve Vai is a musical shaman.

[onetymebigtyme]

truly.... Magical Epicness 

[MrImmortalTT]

what year is this video ?

[MrBlairM]

fluff at 0:47, and for the love of god, shut up. LOL OK I'm not a Vai fan... just my opinion, got to 2:14 and gave up. Just taking a break from recording and looking for inspiration, none here. unless you'r looking for ancient Celtic costumes. Come on people ya gotta laugh, there's a ton of ego here.

[RadBomber69]

EPIC ANCIENT METAL!!!

[TheNicholasflamel]

chuck testa?! nope, steve vai

[DonnerChu]

People say our generation of music is the worst.

I say its one of the best. The true masters, however, are hidden beneath the mucky pop music trash. But they're there. Vai is among them.

[ShreddinThrash]

@DonnerChu Hmm I dont know what age you are but this shouldnt of got voted up. Basically when people say 'This' Generation they dont mean artists that STARTED back in early 80's/ 70's. Most people think our generations music is just the music that has started to emerge in the popular sector for about 10 years or so. For example artic monkeys, lady gaga. New indie/Pop and more new shit metal bands! Yes there is stuff hidden, but vai is an accomplished virtuoso still going.

[kathleencarson]

@ShreddinThrash Not forgetting the stones and who influnced them. Goes back to way before I was born, and Im old. 51. It all started when humans started clapping sticks together. It is inherrent. Music is life. We all dig it but in so many different ways. But ofcourse my way is the best way! Hahahaha

[jeanlucchapelon]

@DonnerChu

All the great rock masters are from the 70's...

Now,what you're proposin': Frantz Ferdinand , BB Brunes etc...

[UAiiTaLeNTz]

@DonnerChu indeed, its there just harder to find :D

[arcanumi]

@DonnerChu Vai isn't from our so called ''generation'' of music.

[captainabrhamlincoln]

@DonnerChu You're dumb

[Santojo95]

Vai, Satriani and much others @DonnerChu !

[KARVAKY]

@DonnerChu Vai is not from this geretation, duh.

[MrGERSONUP]

le cortan partesa l solo, hay partes del tema que me parecen que quedan inconclusos. la pequeñas notas son importantes. buen tema^^

[lobitonewgeneration]

It's amazing how relaxes steve is here. A very important masterpiece in guitar songs of the century.

[blackfire053]

holy fucking shit

[itti1977]

My ear orgussum at 5:10

[StevieVaibanez]

Damn, those mountains give Steve some really good sustain.

[sidiknugroho007]

I remember Fellowship of the Ring when watching this video. The fellowship go to Mordor, bring the ring. Vai goes to loneliness -- with God, guitar, and reflections!

[pool741]

tittle should be changed for the love of vai

[Haryadifile]

great vai....peace in every where couse we are one nation one world

[JOEYRODRIGUES1]

QUANDO EU CRESCER QUERO APRENDER ESSA MUSICA

[FanDeNeko]

This clip makes me realize this song is not just an incredible guitar performance. This is also a serious reflexion on the musics, painting but also the massacres made "for the love of God". Vai composes on a theme, and is not a stupid artist. This song is a really Essay on a subject.

[thedevilscolt88]

what the hell? he looks like a native american highlander.

[Y055AR1AN]

@thedevilscolt88 I was thinking Native American Hippie Vampire.

[thedevilscolt88]

@Y055AR1AN lmao

[limchanify]

lmfao.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shd191]

I want this in my youtube playback list, but it won't let it be...WTF?

[JELEL6688]

Vai has got so much Cosmic Creative Energy flowing its amazing to hear. Truly a gift from another Dimension. Humans are so blinded by the illusion of duality, but in reality we are all connected! All is one & One is all.

[daveandodrummer]

AMAZING song. We covered this in our old band n our guitarist was fantastic and really did it justice. Google Danny Rosingana!

[Paulguitar13]

IN THE NAME OF STEVE VAI........

[robin7kurdo]

that melodies talk by itself. And i listen from them a message of beautiful pain from life.

[Vailover4ever]

Pure magic,I never ever get tired of listening to this song.

[thelastgodcl]

The song is amazing, but the video really really really sucks!

[MusicJunkie9797]

this is the closet we have ever came to seeing actual footage of God creating the heavens and the earth and everything tht inhabits it

[pierangelobaduini]

la xfezione

[guitar4lunch]

I prefer the unedited version of this piece.

[USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork]

Sweet score...first time hearing this artist...right on...

[lawliet102492]

idol kita men!

[moldyrck]

steve vai is so awesome he believes in himself

[kpatukas]

great guitaristj too mush hair....

[InfameLocura]

♥♫♥♪♥ 

[heavyd777]

I still get chills everytime I hear that song....

[Sivels]

Steve Vai is too much of a hippie haha! I still like his music though.

[playingmyGib]

@Sivels

A man can never be TOO much of a hippie and all that type of a life represents. Glad you dig his music. It will never die out.

[GeekNerdProductions]

2:35 and onward.... ;*|

[MrJack83124]

take that Descartes...

[MrBufffon]

Caras , não gosto de instrumental , mas essa musica é linda !!!!!!!!!!!

[sidewalkspitta]

i hold his guitar in London yesterday, Hard Rock Cafè ! Awesome !

[Srkoonrrad0]

tal parese que en todos los idiomas esta cancion no deja de ser grandiosa y hermosa...

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

Was David Coverdale doing the voice I believe. Also, on the album "walking the fine line, between pagan and Christian".

[treevsy]

i have replayed this so many times. and i keep on hearing the guy at the end. and i cant help thinking that he put on that voice.

[hellshometome]

simply amazing and mind boggling, one of the world finest guitarists ever!!!

[pippademolletton]

é lindo demais ... é algo que transcede a alma, som, universo,...é como tocar na face de Deus...LINDO

[dvdmastering]

Beatiful Song!!!! very emotional and power!!!!

[dvdmastering]

@DaniMarieeee

Steve is italian origin.

[SirGinger76]

haha looks kinda nerdy but damn i got the soul to do that too! im siding with Vai!

[sulutkin]

This is right how I imagined this video, some indian playing on a mountain and talking that way straight to a God or Gods. This is a man to man conversation what Stevie here started. Amazing beautiful melody and so everything here is in musically expressed so breathtaking that I wouldn´t even touch my guitar after this masterpiece. Everything is said and done already. Is Steve an indian?

Mirko 24, me too from Finland so this is my lousy english. They´ve gotta deal with it, hehehe.

[DaniMarieeee]

Is Vai Native American? Anyone?

[arpeggios26]

we may be human....

but we're still animals.

[spiderstoner]

@arpeggios26 I think we are monsters not animals

[arpeggios26]

@spiderstoner i agree...

[uv999p]

This was the first song that i listen from Steve Vai 10 years ago. I was an instant fan after i listen this song.

[Siczn]

beautiful song ..

beautiful melody ...

[rockerhvy]

who would say the first parts were mostly pentatonics.. lol. he's really good.

:)

[dilzas23]

wha the fuck is he wearing??? hahaha

[alanford97]

who needs words when we have Steve Vai :)

[AndyRhoadsVai]

@alanford97 You're right dude!!!!!!

[shishir16089]

wtf how come i have never seen the music  video

[druck000]

hey..i thought the last part is" walking fine line between pagan and christianity""



[MPH84]

@druck000

You're right it does say "walking the fine line between pagan and christian" on the recorded version, although, not on this video edit. I say edit because at the 3:26 mark here some of the original work is edited out (approx. 20sec worth I think). Go watch this and another video of the cd version (at around 4:10 mark) watch?v=okLDkcexiVgto

You'll see what I mean. Hope this helps. Peace

[wldntknow]

This song made my Atheist friend Believe in "Steve Vai".

[vicomarjam]

lo maximo!!!

[RobiNude69]

"We may be Humans, But we are still Animals"

Oh god that just made me jizz in my pants

[ryanchatfield1313]

press 5 :)

[MyOwnQueeN]

Epic Video!!!

[6249342]

es buen músico pero muy engreído

[Ugallardo]

@6249342 A mi no me parece engreido... lo que pasa es que es todo un "showman". Le gusta dar espectaculo :P

[ThrashMetalAJM]

i bet GOD jizzed his shorts when he saw this.

ohh wait. he doesnt wear shorts

[nztfct]

mirko241 you dont need to be sorry,engish is ridiculous

[MoniqaEssssss]

the best guitar solo ever !! incredibly beautiful music

[jess16saint]

I'll try to keep this simple and short... thanks for the upload, first time listening to song and video, amazing.. thanks ;)

[qqvids]

people just love this song in my country

[frankratox]

Hermoso

[purplehaze5562]

Wow was that ever Beautiful!!

[mortemdrummer]

for the stimulation of my penis

[saladchef4]

the best guitar player in the world is Lil Wayne.....

[lozevans555]

This is a great piece of music. I play this to my 2 year old daughter. I'm so nowhere near (ever!) the same class as Mr Vai but my daughter gives me a smile that makes me feel as if I am. Which makes it all worth while :-)

[colby7890]

Thanks for the upload didn't know there was a video for this song

[ninuhclock]

Why does EVERTHING always have to be a fight???? Shut yer mouths, close yer eyes, and ENJOY this mans talent!

[AnipoptoSSS]

awesomeneeeess...!

[wldntknow]

"WTF UURRRRRRRAAAAAAAHAHAHAHa" 3:33

[TheFelipesio]

xD

[MrNoonieD]

For all you people arguing about who's best...FUCK OFF. Enjoy the music, all different guitarist, all skilled, all are proof that this type of music is better than the pop and stuff thats around today.

And just incase you want to know - my opinion is, i don't care...but Hendrix is God of guitar to me.

[GREGCAROLAN]

amazing. simply incredible

[rushcranker]

many great artist in the world. each has there own style and passion to share.

[BUNCHAFUZZ]

How about this, EVH beats all of them

[devax1986]

@BUNCHAFUZZ How about this. EVH couldn't ever write a composition like this. All he does is shred wank his solos. Sure his tapping was good, but he could never compose or write a song like this. Satriani, Govan, Petrucci, Gilbert are better than him too. Respect to Van Halen for writing the riffs, signature Van Halen sound and progressing the world of guitar gods, but if you want to compare talents it isn't even a contest. That is of course, my opinion.

[muddshshshark]

he showed up at Joe Satriani's door with a guitar in one hand and a pack of strings in the other for some lessons ,he didn't know how to put the strings on .

[renduke]

@muddshshshark yes then about 15 years later it was a case of the student surpassing the teacher

[dilzas23]

hahahahahahaha look at this dick in a big cape n shit what a douche

[ScwantoeSTEVEVAI]

I think every on on youtube needs to shut up and stop over glorifying steve and paul gilbert or any other mysticaly talented person.. im sure their all flattered but you all sound like your unworthy of everything, if your a person who plays an instrument search your soul for what you really want to do with music, and if you don play an instument then you have no business commenting. ALL HAIL people with individuality and Commen sense.

[eshnic]

@ScwantoeSTEVEVAI agreed, except where you say people who dont play an instrument have no business commenting. all can comment imo, there are people who are just listeners who love music. teqniques can be learned but the feel of a piece of music is very personal, and even though some music doesnt do it for you/me, thats not a disaster just sometimes it hits you right on the spot and sometimes it doesnt. no biggy. btw, even if you dont have "talent", so what, if you enjoy playing, just play. :)

[ScwantoeSTEVEVAI]

@eshnic i agree you seem very level headed i appreciate your response. keep jamming

[ivanblackheart]

i think the purpose of this song is people think and change our mind, stop to be angry, save the nature, stop wars, be human, he prays for the love of god i can see it in his eyes
