[heckler73]

Did anyone else notice the ONE wrong note Prof. Dr. Steve Vai PhD.G. M.A. B.Sc. BBA, Inc. ltd. LLC hit?

(And no, I don't mean the sloppy edit at 1:17)

[TuneToNote24]

@heckler73 who cares.... Gtfo

[barleymodin]

ahem, Steve Vai. Nuff said

[dallettbowers]

love it !!!  steve is it....

[mistyquar]

kiedy był w Polsce i czemu mnie tam nie było ? ;s

[MrIBREATHEMUSIC]

@quazzie11 He did'nt bring any guitar. The Guitar itself got a soul & could Speak & Sing Songs :)))))

[Perrol2]

Gracias por regalar tan bella musica !!!!!

[rockermetalhead1200]

My God, Steve's tapping style is so otherworldly!

[andstuff151]

0:57...that guy doesn't realiize there's a god behind him :P

[bancernik]

@andstuff151

I think he's their bus driver.

[RushFanPix]

@vSupaSonic2051 and @quazzie No. There is no end. Steve Vai will go on through eternity!

[MassGraveAesthetic]

He said "Lithuania", now my country is well known, popular, and awesome.

[SparcoC4]

@MassGraveAesthetic Hey Brolukas! haha Latvia!

[MassGraveAesthetic]

@SparcoC4 Heey, wazaaaaaap!

[antonio19gp]

pierdolnąłbym chyba gdybym zobaczył na ulicy Vaia tak jak tutaj ;)

[GibsonGuitarsForLife]

is it just me or does everything steve play just sound out of key..

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@GibsonGuitarsForLife I think it's you.

[quazzie11]

@GibsonGuitarsForLife It's definitely you. 100%.

[TalulahsDaddy]

@GibsonGuitarsForLife I think you're probably in the wrong key :D

[hell1989ful]

UFF DENMAACIADO

[zeppelin25101980]

it took me so long to realise that one of the sadles is chrome

[Anarchyffan]

@zeppelin25101980 I just noticed it too haha

[13thfbass]

If chuck norris could play guitar........he still wouldn't be as good as steve vai

[sparta1n117]

@vSupaSonic2051 actually you're both wrong, the story goes Steve Vai because there is no end

[noodlesmealey]

steve youre talented,but are you 'only in it for the money'? your friend ,mike

[mycahman]

those freakin lucky kids!!!

[Bassmash]

Why is sheehan not rocking out like vai, he's got it in him and you know he's a beast bassist

[gspencer626]

Hey , does anybody know what he is using for distortion? is the distortion on his amp or his boss pedal?

[wjatrak]

Ja pierdole jakbym go zobaczył u siebie w mieście jak tak pogrywa :O Szok

[Freezaen]

Evo is beat to shit, poor girl...

[slitherlock]

i speak dog so let me translate the barking at the end - "your umbrella scares me weird lady" "stop petting me, your hands smell funny" (the last barking sequence was tricky to translate) something similar to "I would gladly kill a field mouse if this skinny guy in the hat holding a noise machine will make my ears tickle with delight again"

[gwrAr67]

@ OMG! Your so awesome with the video editing and music producing... You've inspired me to play!

[Ladiesman534]

This video is stupid.... you know why?! Coz people are just fucking ignoring him! Literally The-Best-Guitarist-In-The-Worl­d-No-Questions-Asked is being ignored!!! I mean the guy at 0:57 is just ignoring him like nothing happened! I'm sorry i'm giving a thumbs down because Steve deserves better for his genuis art

[TuneToNote24]

@Ladiesman534 You are ignorant. The guy walking in the background is Thomas Nordegg, Steve's guitar tech.. And Steve is definetely not being ignored. Just saying.

[Ladiesman534]

@TuneToNote24 Oh my bad.... but you know what i mean aye? I'm a full on fan of steve describing how much he kicks ass all the time etc etc and noticed he's not ridiculously famous at all like artists Justin Bieber who don't really deserve it.... full respect to that guy as well but I reckon Steve should be hugely famous

[CGLmusic]

Erm.. Wheres the fan?

[laguasa1]

great audience

[MrHideyoursheep]

I met steve vai,Shook his hand,he was a Dick very (arrogant)..Joe Satch was a very nice Human.

[TheEpiphoneguitar]

@MrHideyoursheep not true. My family is friends with Mike Martin who was signed on his label. Met Vai personally, seen him play. he is a great guy.

[MrHideyoursheep]

@TheEpiphoneguitar Ok Bro, Whatever you say!

[TheEpiphoneguitar]

@MrHideyoursheep yep, because you obviously don't know anything about him. Nor do you know anything about grammar. If you are going to trash a man on his page off of bs information, at least use correct grammar. By the way, might wanna change your profile picture, you look like a pedophile.

[MrHideyoursheep]

@TheEpiphoneguitar Ohhh wow, Watch it Rat Boy.. At Least I'm not afraid to show my fucking face,What happen huh?You're mother didn't Jack you off in the Bathtob enough times? I met Stevie and he's an Ass, you must be Related?

[TheEpiphoneguitar]

@MrHideyoursheep Looks like i might have gotten someone angry. Its bathtub by the way... and you keep using unnecessary capitalization....oh, and its Steve, not Stevie. And whats all this about jacking off in a bathtub, especially by ones mother... please for the sake of everyone, clean up.. Its seems like you were born into an incestuous family by the looks of your comments.

[MrHideyoursheep]

@TheEpiphoneguitar How about leave me alone and get a godamn life you useless FUCK! Whatever you say i will not read,Nor wish too..Got it! Good.

[MrHideyoursheep]

@TheEpiphoneguitar Now be a good boy and finsh Sucking Steve's Cock, and see if he pays for you're light Bill..Jack-off.

[TheEpiphoneguitar]

@MrHideyoursheep sucking wasnt supposed to be capitalized and neither was bill or cock. You must be at least 35 by the looks of your receding hair line and need for glasses. You really cant cover up looking that ugly can you? I understand if all you can talk about is sucking cock and incest related topics, you must still live in your moms basement. Poor deprived retard.

[RockMetalGirl6]

Ehh szkoda że mnie tam nie było, Steve wpadnij znowu! Steve, when you're going to play in Katowice again?

[metalboto]

i liked him the best in david lee roth ! he could play what he wanted to play , only the management sucked big time ! wich made him step out .same for billy sheehan

[CDP110]

The very majestic and imaginative guitarist that is Steve Vai. If only Vai showed up somewhere I just happened to be and gave to the unworthy, an impromptu performance, I could absorb at least an ounce of his genius.

[razsekeles]

A show of hands made this lousy looking hotel sound better.....for sure !!!

Vai for president !!!!!!

[stealth07r1]

Steve you played EVO too hard and it cracked...!  =)

[poprostudaniel]

uhhh.. what an unattractive and bleak place in Poland. There are so many great places in Poland, invite you to Gdansk by Baltic sea. We have beautiful old town and nice arena for concerts. Btw Poland is in Central Europe, if you take a ruler you'd see that the middle of Europe is in Poland. Our cultural heritage is also something in between Italy and Russia, Turkey, and its really polish not eastern ;p

[rikardocarvalho]

Where did he hid is effects rack ? He still has is trademark sound, and i guess it doesn't come out of his amplifier only

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@rikardocarvalho It actually does with his Jemini pedal. Check his site...K'm Pee Du Wee is a song that has the purest sound...Ibanez Jem + Carvin amplification + Jemini distortion pedal.

[rikardocarvalho]

@PhilosopherOnWeed Hi, i really dont believe in that. This "live" version has an obvious delay, and his board at 0:15 shows a EVH phaser, a Boss SD-1 and something else. I can't see a Jemini pedal. Steve got his trade mark sound away before his signature Jemini. I do believe he has hidden gear, or it has been processed after in the studio

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@rikardocarvalho Well noticed indeed. Well I think this song has a very pure guitarsound, but I guess theres been some tweeking done in the studio.

[francescocusato]

grande

[NikolaYjm]

The crowd is maaaaad :)

[Davi71194]

this people just saw steve vai play for free, how i envy them...

[warmorla]

1:25

SUPRISE BUTT SECKS

[liverpool0690]

@vSupaSonic2051 lmao

[superborion]

he's god !!!!!

[marlad78]

@superborion

when he die ,you will see that he isn't god ...

[pmAhavasi]

wow what a big crack does his ibanez got near the neck

[xtronic11]

what the hell happened at 1:17

[slunkzilla]

Chyba bym kurwa zemdlał idąc do biedronki jak gdyby nigdy nic i nagle widząc Vaia od tak grającego na ulicy.

[gobersiak]

Gdzie to jest?

[wojcinap]

@gobersiak Katowice, pod przedszkolem ul. Uniwersytecka 15.

[gobersiak]

@wojcinap Ciekawe czy kupili coś w biedronce. :]

[MrKev222]

Killer!

[deathcore1239]

evo has one seriously fucking massive neck pocket crack 1:58

[ilooklikeppl]

For all that is holy on six steel strings! In the words of McDonalds, I'm Lovin' It! lol

[teeronus]

pozdrawiam wszystkich :D

greetings to all

[mironnek]

fank you, supero!!!!!!

[outoworkdreamer]

never gets old

[vicRATTLEhead92]

Yo vai, I can't find it on iTunes what's up with that??!!!!!

[vicRATTLEhead92]

Yes!!! I love that guitar

[dirtydonki]

What a bunch of loveable nutz! :)

[ArnicaLader]

To było naprawdę nagrywane w Polsce... kiedy Steve Vai był w Katowicach... : D

[Goldenpuffs59]

full video?

[PjotrL]

1,25 hes farting!

[PjotrL]

At 1.25 it looks like he lay down a huge crap!

[crossroads13]

this new genre of music shall be called. vai-gra

[crossroads13]

it's like another genre of music<3

[tabotabojayar]

damn i love that worn out jem.... i wish he could go here in our place too..if it happens..i'll beg him to give me that guitar and sign it too!........

[ursuldaniel]

verry expressiv at 1:20

like a bug pinched him XD

but this passage from 1:10 to a calm temperament music at 1.20

yup.... vai has the music in him

[quazzie11]

Once upon a time the Vai family had a son.

They called him Steve.

Once day Steve bought a guitar.

He practiced a lot, and now....

There is none better.

The End

[elixergtarist]

@quazzie11 NUFF SAID!

[quazzie11]

@elixergtarist \m/,

[Chaldean442]

@quazzie11 Satch (Joe Satriani) is right up there with him. Both have similar styles (one learned from the other). I like them both but saying one is best is a matter of personal opinion. Both have great music.

[TheFrostyDealer]

@Chaldean442 Satch also taught Vai, along with many others.

[quazzie11]

@Chaldean442 I wasn't saying Vai is necessarily better than Joe, but at the same time there is not a single player on the planet that is BETTER than Vai. He and Satch are on the same level, neither is better than the other. Both are as great as great gets.

[JordanECMusic]

@quazzie11 well there is always devin townsend...

[quazzie11]

@JordanECMusic To be completely honest, I had never heard of that cat until you mentioned him. So I go to check out a couple of vids and WOW.... thanks for turning me on to some good new music !

There are several guitarists (including Townsend) that are as good, as talented, as creative (maybe) but I don't think it can be said that any of them are BETTER than Vai. Of course, it's all a matter of opinion.

[Ladiesman534]

this sucks... i mean Steve Vai goes and plays in the "Streets" of Poland yet he hardly comes to New Zealand... I would literally do anything to even hear Steve Vai live, I would pay to be his Guitar setup guy! Most of all, I would love for him to even talk to me and give me some tips in front of me!!!! pretty much saying that Steve Vai is my only influence... Check out my new video "Never-Ending Day", you would see my attempt at playing like him after four years of experience... And Failing =/

[JTD7000]

@Ladiesman534 - imagine if you were this guy!!

/watch?v=QYjSnndHt2c

Btw, you're good, save up for a Jem guitar, Jemini Pedal and Carvin Legacy Amp, improvise until you get bored, then do finger exercises, you could be great.

[nicoeetsdolphins]

I heart <3 the Lydian mode and this song.

[rockermetalhead1200]

0:58 Thats something from 'I Know Your Here'

[chype]

I gotta get me one of those pick holders!

[purplejocko4]

that was great to watch

[tomek1995v8]

@pelenma GOD ;)

[tomek1995v8]

1:28 has anyone tabs to this section ? Please :)

Cheers from Poland :)

[teramasz]

woof woof, haha, the ambient sound made me feel like back home ;)

[amfista27]

mistrzostwo świata :)

[guitaristman23]

this makes me this of a statment of let the guitar speak for you not speak for itself and not vai's playing but makes me think that my past stuff had been a waste and now i should do the speak when playing

[Nidaime299]

dog from poland XD

[dvdhinkle1]

steve via is the master of the guitar!!

[shootefly]

Steve Vai doesn't make music, he just shows off.

[injunboy5150]

@shootefly You'd do the same if you could play half the shit Vai does. He actually DOES make music. It's not all just guitar wanking. Maybe you should actually listen to him play sometime

[PhilosopherOnWeed]

@shootefly Lol....FOOL.

[drummaboy2346]

@shootefly Even though he graduated from Berklee College of Music, AND will be teaching there as a professor in Guitar possibly soon? And he doesn't make music? Hm...

[whitbyjet65]

@shootefly I agree 100%. He totally misses the point of the guitar. He just creates boring white noise. He doesn't have a clue of what it takes to write a good song. Yes, he's technically brilliant but he just sounds like a computer programme. As far as I'm concerned, he isn't a guitar great, he's just a sterile technician.

[TuneToNote24]

@whitbyjet65 And you're an idiot who doesn't appreciate music.

[outoworkdreamer]

interesting comment... this song and "i know you're here" are my personal faves

[3M00RI]

this song kinda remind me of " i know your here " ..

[Ramsesmeriamon2]

выступи он так в России - кго фаны живьем съедять!!!

[devolve42]

Thank you Frank Zappa for making this possible.

[Lewp77]

sick !

[Matheus200999]

qualquer video do steve vai é D+ ki nein esse!

[Davids373]

I dont know...He likes pink a little too much

[VeasnaVerera]

Awesome ;)

[Deritooo]

1:30min

[InvisibleMasquerade]

I am digging that pick holder!

[RIFFSUAREZ]

man, wish i was there!

[MrLegatostaccato]

Visit Japan again Mr. Vai

[hisboyreunion]

only vai can keep me interested in a song for 12 minutes

[NeoPanzerth]

weird, he has a silver saddle in a sea of black saddles haha? Its eye catching if anything else :P

[Cacpis]

Polacy panują nad tą piosenką (chodziło mi o komentarze)

[MrNeradan]

Kurwa. ._.

[Showbanez]

1:18 epic

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

this is the 7th time I watch this video, and I 'd do it another few times more!

[Animoution]

1:02 , I think that guy doesn't hear. That's because he didn't stopped and took his HEAVY METAL SHIRT!

[OXCerberusX0]

They say his fingers were forged from magic.

[t0d71]

I use to play Guitar like this.... But after awhile I asked the Devil for my Soul back.

[codyahernek]

hahaha, no ones there... says alot for peoples taste in music...

[Blesmol]

@codyahernek Nobody knew about this happening...

[codyahernek]

@Blesmol i realize that. im only kidding. HAH.

[iksoinemod]

@codyahernek They're Polish!

[tgh856]

oh man... what song... no more words!

[cinnful1]

I can see these kids growing up one day and going...omg...it was Vai, "we met this guy, we saw him play"...what a treat.

[serpent71]

Is it just me or is Evo more banged up then Flo? Lol

[thepola360]

@serpent71 evo is older : )

[ShadowLancer128]

@serpent71 she is. It's really sad that he's been so careless with it. What a BEAUTIFUL sounding guitar, perhaps the most intonated Electric Guitar in history. The neck resonates in 5ths. The body in 7ths. Plus TT Frets. and an original Edge tremolo. And Ernie Ball COATED Super Slinky Strings.

I think he also designed his Jemini dist. to have a matching comb with his JEM.

[0adireita]

@ShadowLancer128 i think the only one thing not designed by him there is the strap XD

[ShadowLancer128]

@0adireita I know he's steve Vai, but seriously how does any musician have his kind of money?

[0adireita]

@ShadowLancer128 pure bless

[dimeowns100]

@0adireita Still that's probabyl custom haha

[outoworkdreamer]

This is one of the coolest videos ever. To me it embodies the true spirit of

creativity and music.

Being a musician, I sometimes get the urge to just set-up and rip away unexpectedly in public places.

Also this is some of Mr. Vai's most interesting work isn't it?

[212ACDC123]

1:25 looks like he shocked himself

[biotoxin21]

yikes just noticed the neck joint crack at 1:16 but he still keeps playing it

[biotoxin21]

sweeps from hell, such a master.

[rafauleciaelcarpio]

@biotoxin21 I'd say sweeps from heaven

[bimacz]

KURWA NIE MOGĘ , nie wytrzymam tego ....

[Cacpis]

Czego kurwa nie wytrzymasz? bimacz

[bimacz]

@Cacpis retoryczne pytanie, tego że mnie tam nie było, pozdro

[Cacpis]

Steve Vai ! fuck yea!

[Benwilson89]

thats the most awful hat i've ever seen. =)

[828Phatty]

Never ceases to scramble my senses.

[828Phatty]

Never ceases to scramble my sense.s

[FunkMasterSteez]

Is just me or in the beggining of the song he says "K'm-pee-du-wee" on his guitar at

0:28

[ShadowLancer128]

@FunkMasterSteez that was the joke of the video.

[FunkMasterSteez]

@ShadowLancer128 Awesome joke then :P

[TheHornet79]

I like the part with the Dog from Poland :P

[MikaelLilienthal]

I was falling asleep after 50 seconds

[tamikooh]

Oh!! God!!

[guitarrafik]

Chciałbym wtedy tam być!

[mlbaha]

madre mia

[nawrp11]

I dont think those kids know how lucky they were that day...
