Steve Vai - The Audience Is Listening

[devax1986]

this sounds like a song that could have had David Lee Roth or something on it

[Daim0th]

He should release a version of this track without all the talking.

[AJFA09]

Hot for teacher?

[12inchvertical]

shouse

[PowerMetalEuphonist]

1:08 stuff gets serious

[Georgeous129]

Oh Vai God, such a cool song!

[crazyghostfreakdude]

3:18 EPIC.

[sexymd07]

This is badass shit here! I fucking love it! Steve Vai kicks ass.

[satchboogyfan]

So many want to pick this apart, Why

It's a great song about all the people that try to put you down or make you fit into what they think the world should be

From the lil boy being yelled at to the world famous musician being yelled at be fans at his concert

[idkwhattonamemyself]

@satchboogyfan I like how you made up a bunch of imaginary people that are "picking apart" this song so that you can be right about something. Not to say that you don't have a point, but just say it. We're all here to listen to Vai, everyone else is a troll.

[56morbius]

one person thought it was to loud.

[KirbyOnCronic]

@CaptSandyVag Frank Zappa was a bitch?

[Triviumaddict12]

He doesnt only say "Ok" though, he laughs and "So happy" wish i can make mine talk, I can say ok now though!

[Kevinacastillol]

HEADS UP!

[RocknLee]

But the REAL question is CAN HE PLAY SMOKE ON THE WATER!!!!

[alexlocurto]

@RocknLee G3 Concerts. Yes he can.

[RocknLee]

@alexlocurto lol I know, its just a joke :p

[13Danjiri]

@trashmetalrulzumamon:

Enjoying the music. Thanks for the post!

I also just wanted to say that I love your username! (^-^)v

Have a great day,

[SNIPERmicSNIPER]

I wish he made a version without the voices, Im not saying this is bad at all. But it would have been SO much better as an average Vai instrumental

[13Danjiri]

@SNIPERmicSNIPER The 6th thumbnail from the top on this video, posted by AgeliteriuM1, is a pretty good live version without the little vocal skit. It might do as a fix.

[maorigeorgeow]

the young dude playing this is tommy mcglockin if thats how you spell his last name lol

[sylvesterlowery]

@maorigeorgeow Thomas McRocklin

[chuckrocks69]

it has the elements of hot for teacher, the clean picked bits esp. Its just like Jiboom is a hat tip to Stevie ray vaughns Scuttle buttin (he said that himself)

[tomanddantracks]

I CAN SAY VAN HALEN TOO haha dude its completely on purpose but anyways that vocal guitar tremolo bar intro is hysterical

[werecrazy100]

Ha pantera my but dude pantera copied him. It does have a similarity to hot for teacher but he is a van halen fan. My number one gave guitarist I have his autograph

[bobokk]

Definitely a bit of Pantera in there

[wifflwaffl]

Who else thinks that riff at 1:17 brings the FUNK!?

[H057IL3]

Vocals ruin it. But Vai's a god.

[MrKrix73]

Tis song dosnt need vocals, Its pure heaven just to hear Vai.

[chapkoark]

sound like an interpretation of van halen's hot for teacher. the drums, the blues riff, the taped scale at 1:52

[beoful]

@chapkoark i too think it has some similar elements with hot for teacher

[jb111082]

@chapkoark this blows Hot for Teacher away bro.

[sylvesterlowery]

@chapkoark True! But this song to me is like "HFT" on steroids, LOL!

[Triviumaddict12]

@chapkoark you here the moaning at 2:50 on? def hot for teacher homage.

[fadethetrade]

I can't imagine a more intense lead solo then this guy .He's like hendrix except about 3 times better.

[CronoX3]

@fadethetrade 3 times? only 3?

[PowerslaveFilms]

i think this needs some kickass vocals though :/

[jeffandmatthardyrule]

Kickass.

[weathered79]

i love it when his guitar says ''ok''

[quilmesredlager]

am i the only one who cant stand the fucking voice of the people during the song at the begining and eventually in some parts of the middle ?

they totally ruin the theme for me,

:(

[shadowknight132]

Quite ignoring. Glad Vai doesn't do that live.

[quilmesredlager]

@shadowknight132

i mean, it is not only in this theme.

it happens in more than half od the songs of his album, it is REALLY anoying and sometimes creepy.

lol, but steve is still a god

[OldSoggyDog]

To quilmesredlager:

I agree

[wildrufusrecords]

classic....is this where the wild things are?

[gtrefghuk]

Steves zany Zappa inspired personality really shows in this song. F*#king A! Sure beats being normal. Awesome tune!

[leostrater]

Great stuff!!
