Steve Vai - "Foxy Lady" @ TEC Awards 2012 feat. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter & Orianthi

[GeorgianPranks]

Can you just stop writing such awkward comments like "Awful mixing" ? It's very impolite. somebody may loose his job because of you

[Labruin1414]

3:22 -- the Camera Man is getting greedy

[profesionalfagosit89]

It's really ironic since the TEC award itself (held by "TEC Foundation for Excellence in Audio") was supposed to be an award for promoting and recognizing excellence in the audio and music arts and sciences (that's what the official site says), and yet the sound mixing was just horrible

[RyanB747]

3:39 "I am the walrus"

[VaiRendy]

I subscribe videos from TEC award.. and the sound enginier or whatever didnt do the best.. i'm sure all performs in this event were so great.. not like the video

[Elderguitarra]

Massa mesmo a mulher tira onda toca bem tbm !!

[Keith6192]

R.I.P Steve's hair and magical fan. :'(

[WEISSERZWERG]

@Keith6192 they do music, or are you a visual guy? 

[shakar92]

@Keith6192

relax it's only hair, it will grow again?

[toddallenhooper]

She looks like somebodies 6 yr old sister whose been caught playing dressup...

[slightreturn75]

hmm overkill but oooh foxy lady :PPP

[Clark1284]

i hate to say it, but such a soulful piece of music destroyed yet again by too much distortion, treble, light stings, and wimpy guitars. no tone, no soul, save for jeff baxter.

[Sivels]

@Clark1284 yeah, this seem amateurish.

[enanotech]

must kill mix tech!!!!

[wuuggfi]

Just too much. The other pieces were a lot better.

[balcom12]

que asco de mezcla

[dahito71]

Que mala mezcla...

[JulianManzara]

i'm sick of Hendrix covers with too many guitarists. they lose the personality of the song and the solos are over played and competitive.

[TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

I don't care if she is average as guitarist she looks hot as a chick

[UxFxTxBanger]

God! Otianthi must do some pretty awesome slides... If you know what I mean ;)

[timzp]

Jeff rocked

[7or6]

get the fuck off the stage Orianthi. Ur so average.

[JUMBOpin]

@7or6 if she's so average...then you get up there

[7or6]

@JUMBOpin her being an average guitarest doesnt have to do with why shes up there. plenty of average and terrible musicians play large venues. And incase u didnt know, i do not know Steve Vai haha.

[phats1231]

what did i just see???? @_@ wow!!!!

[23905970]

3:31

sexy.....

[drjaz696]

why, jimi, why?

[Ryboner1]

i hate to say this also but that strat sounded weak .

[TheBanyanEmperor]

@Ryboner1 Bad mix. It looked like he was actually playing some great stuff, but we couldn't hear shit.

[devolve42]

@TheBanyanEmperor Every "official" video from this event suffers from the same awful mixing.

[Ryboner1]

cool the way Via plays the same chord all up and down the kneck without even having to think bout it , Vai the master !

[GeorgianPranks]

I watch this every day

[rimetetube]

The video was excellent but even with headphones I barely could hear Steve with the exception that the uniqueness of sound came out. Detracts some overall but not doesn't diminish.

[mrbuddha2026]

At 4 something Vai was doing some cool stuff! Too bad the volume of his guitar wasn't high enough to hear that.

[TheThiaguinhoguitar]

to let any guitarist's mouth water

[TheCoolbabe100]

@TheThiaguinhoguitar i know right...

[TheThiaguinhoguitar]

this insane three

[captainbigdaddyrob1]

Steve...you guys rocked!! & Orianthi is awesome 2...!!! Great vocals byJeff!!

[FoldedArt]

I has to be incredibly annoying when people take pictures with flash while you're playing.

[ShnoobyShnoobs]

4:07 "I'm the Walrus"

[devax1986]

@Egorkula Well that is obvious, because its a Hendrix song and it was written and played by hendrix. The original is always the best. Jimi also can't fuck with Vai in For the Love of God

[Vaistarr]

Sorry Steve, but this time it his your guitar that people can't hear :D (Btw, Dave Weiner must have a smile watching this :D)

[Ijustasking]

Orianthi is great but she sounds too much like steve vai, a great influence but she needs to get her own style to get more recognition.

[wbschoolofrock]

ORIANTHIIIIIIIIIIIII GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDD LEGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[cjalmighty]

@wbschoolofrock LOL I know right good god

[TheGreatToopi]

Sounds like this was recorded by someone standing right beside the bass rig...

[sergiogt182]

i love her

[uzzaferru]

G3...I miss u...

[mtalmilitia]

she really has......legs

[Zappabain]

I like how Steve follows the white beard guy at minute 4:25 aprox. Nice dual lick ^^

[5thhokage113]

sorry Steve but your new hair cut is unacceptable.

[EvilSatanBabyFromHel]

Shiit....In times like these i wish Jimi was still alive....But the dope killed him :(....

[5thhokage113]

@EvilSatanBabyFromHel dope doesn't kill, and the autopsy proved Jimi died from wine

[Go0mba10]

The guy sitting down with the beard just has a funny face at 4:09 - best part of the entire performance.

[Hanskajalka]

Skunk rocks!

[Xcalith]

That camera man must have had a good view on Orianthi :))

[JRixonMusic]

You woulda thought they'd have a better sound guy given that it's the TEC award ceremony..

[cazzer13]

That guy on the strat is a machine

[BoyOfLol]

Why do you people hate on the sound man? because Steve is too quiet? Well I completly agree that there's no such thing as too much Steve in the mix.. But do y'all honestly think that Steve had either of his Legacys on anything lower than 10? I doubt that Orianthi (or the rest of the band) would be heard over him if Vai was in the system mix very much. I think that if you asked someone who went, they'd say it sounded just fine.

[TheAtheistworld]

sweet orianthi..

[doeboyfresh863]

sorry steve, but the new hair reminds me of kramer. lol

[GeorgianPranks]

Orianthi is a Foxy Lady

[frankratox]

Good but the best study of jimmy hendrix is Joe Satriani !

[A7Xafterlife94]

Well...since every one else is thinking it, I'll say it. I wish my penis was her guitar

[Stefan1703]

@A7Xafterlife94 dude, check out a psychologist :) preferably a psychoanalist.

[A7Xafterlife94]

@Stefan1703 haha Carl Rogers died a little while ago I think so humanistic is out. Freud, he's gone too. Guess I'm just gonna have to live with being the disturbed person I am haha

[harryflocyberman]

I never thought a woman fingering a guitar like that could be so sexy.

[MrFGunadi]

STEVE VAI!!

[plgplgplg]

Good to see Baxter back on stage. You'd think the vox could be turned up some specially at the start. Too many guitars.

[EqualForAll]

3:50 !!!! + brightness and see ! ;)

[MrLabodemoza]

Will Lee does a good Hendrix impression

[woodsterix]

I love it when Mike Myers plays bass <3

[martynmcgilvray01]

steve vai looks cool with short hair !

[satchfan2010]

Jennifer Batten makes her look like a beginner. Oh, and who's ''Michael Jacket''?..

[TheStratman707]

well..had great potetial until orianthi started playing over Vai

[LesPaul25189]

Orianthi sucks. still, apart from some female blues guitarist, its like that women got no balls in their finger, if you be honest, you agree. its just the boobs

[simpledudeable]

Vai's guitar ain't loud enough =(

[storm131169]

@13loodyDeath yeah I agree with you too mate, but at least you're making the serious comment on the quality of the vid. Which is a valid point. Although Steve himself is good enough to post these vids which we should all be grateful for!! He's a busy man!! But I look at this again today & still there's people putting up bad comments. As for those slagging off orianthi's playing etc. if she was so crap why did mr vai himself pick her at the age of 15 to play with him. He must know something lol

[ROCKNBABES]

love ya ORI ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`~~,`~@

[perqvind]

Holy crap that mix is just bad

[rmccaw7]

Shit, Garth had a hair cut!

[AxlRose629]

who cares what she's wearing. she'a a badass guitar player, & that's all that really matters.

[AWsounds]

I don't care what the opinion is. I think Orianthi looks damn cool here. Vai is looking seriously swish with his shorter hair and suit. Everyone's just got a really cool look!

[ThePyroslicer]

AXE FX FUCK YEAH!

[MrPicklepick]

COOL !

[ZamoXC]

The bassist is a pretty slick guy.

[missing2006]

he he , this is the first time she shows her legs :)

[PrinceOfFreedon]

O.o'

just one question .. Steve, where is your hair ?

great performance everyone =)

[zippityzzz]

Great vocalist!!!!

[HelenVanRoy]

When someone as good as Steve, supports you as a musician, you gotta be AWESOME, not less... too bad this girl, is blah...

[TheCaseman777]

If only i was older.......... I would propose to Orianthi....

[HDBeltran92]

Omg shredd chick!!!!!!!!!

[mickiew4]

...there's my wife

[TheBallTicklers]

Guitar playing babes = boner

[kylefossvh]

4 guitars....Steve plays 90 % of solos

[Randyolsson]

why did that chick get to play on the same stage as Steve...?

[DinoDyl]

@Randyolsson That chick was supposed to be michael jackson's guitarist and she also did a song with steve.

[DerekBallesty]

@Randyolsson Shes signed to his label.

[missing2006]

@DerekBallesty Is it true ? Did you mean Steve's label ? How do you know it ?

[Keith6192]

That girl cannot lock hear solos to the rhythm.lol

[Keith6192]

@Spliffor Nice.LOLOL

[toniviguncio]

It's just here or the it's kinda hard to hear everyone?

[storm131169]

All you experts making comments about the "mix & tone, sound etc" lol. What a joke the lot of you. I don't see any of you up there on stage. You're all jealous dicks that don't have a 1,000,000th of the talent Steve has! Or anyone else in this video. When some of you idiots have wrote anywhere near the amount of music mr vai has then you would of earned the right to comment on these things. You really do sound ridiculous & a joke.

Nice bit of playing btw mr vai & friends

[I3loodyDeath]

@storm131169 I agree with you but it's quite sad and strange though that the sound quality of an event wich involve such great musician is so bad.... personnally I think being there live must've been way better and the poor sound quality of this video is only due to the recording.

[BledsoeBluvd]

Nice loose strings at 4:04

[VickVoltsRocks]

Great song and cover, just wish it was mixed better =/

[lightnessss]

Foxy Lady is probably the best song to be played in Obamaland...

[francescotaranto90]

Steve should take this down, worst mix I have ever heard. 

[ondaocho]

when did steve vai become charlie sheen?

[BledsoeBluvd]

@ondaocho never, charlie sheen is a loser

[MrCeej9999]

How bored must Vai be playing this song................He was probably better than Hendrix at about 12 years of age

[lpstrat22]

@MrCeej9999 hey hey lets not forget without hendrix all of these kick ass amps/ slash guitars might've never been what they are today.. Plus listen to all of the live stuff of hendrix i mean all of it and then come back and tell me it wasn't mind blowing for 1967-1970. Hendrix was the steve vai of his time just saying.

[ralvarezm]

Please someone kill the sound guy!

[brostomper]

@ralvarezm i bet that was prolly vai telling the sound guy to lower the vocals mic and crank the guitar monitors... thats his style you understand... =]

[Kico1980]

@ralvarezm xD



[KazysBobelis]

@ralvarezm lol, a bad job on his behalf, but this is like a raw concert recording from week ago, what can you expect. all of the dvd concerts are carrefully remastered, it's a difficult process indeed

[thrrashmetalrocker]

steve vai get some hair . orianthi get some pants

[JoeMedia69]

orianthi looks like oldskool zakk wylde!

[superamnon]

Steve Vai knows better...

[ivi13]

wil lee got some pipes,

[jem10th20thevolution]

Very interesting is the presence of Orianthi, I see it often in your videos. It 's rare that you share the stage. It must be a special person!

[Donweaisacion]

Bad.

[mattsavedbygracengai]

I reckon Orianthi is trying too hard too look "rock" and "bad ass"

[totio94]

Steve is still passing his hand in his hair, but he still don't get that he lost it !

[BerkoGames]

Very hot girl...

[alkaw1]

Nice legs!

[netterstyl]

Hendrix: Imitated but never duplicated.

And damn, those are some thin-sounding rigs.

[mufc0794]

@netterstyl you can't expect really thin tones from an EVH and a Carvin Legacy, they are some of the most thin sounding amps IMO

[alemancachondo]

Chickenfoot's cover is better

[jongreek]

Look, it's "Ralphie" from "A Christmas Story" on bass/vocals

[Daxiwe]

Orianthi is cute, but she's not really that great IMHO...

[Obliaxe]

@Daxiwe Agreed...

[BlackenedFifth]

@Daxiwe yup - she's completely upstaged here - it's like watching a kid jamming in a guitar shop...

sound quality is terrible too



[Daxiwe]

@BlackenedFifth hehehehe, best description!!

[arsenalsuxxx]

@Daxiwe saw her live at alice cooper and this girl is amazing, there's a reason why michael jackson picked her out of all these other guitarists for 50 shows

[igorregis97]

BRASIL ... BRAZIL!!!

[igorregis97]

Essa guitarrista é uma DEUSA cara!!! OMG!!! que mulher linda ela!!!

[rosangeladoro72]

LOVE THIS BAND! SIMPLY FANTASTIC! VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL Sensational!! EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF THE GUITAR! GREAT WORK!

HUGS,

ROSANGELA D'ORO

[Joshpy27]

George Agdgdgwngo on the Mic at the beginning?!

[samsoniteeee]

this sounds tight, but the levels are too shit, you can that it was super loud in there! suppose that's how it should be ;)

[520Peejay420]

Is it just me or is that camera man trying to get all up in that!? I would be too..

[kolamiklan]

i love steve played jimi's song... i love them both

[nsiderultimaseth]

Between Orianthi and the hair cut, it's the first time Steve's not been the sexiest person on stage in forty years.

[vaibhavnayel]

I like orianthi better when she's wearing pants...

[DerekBallesty]

@vaibhavnayel Really? I think her dressing like that is the only reason I would watch her. Little sluttier next time Orianthi.

[divgtrslingr]

weird? its kinda cool, but then its kinda like scrambled eggs sometimes u like em n sometimes they suck

Vai is one of the baddest on the planet!

[LuteroReforma]

I can't listen anything, bad mixing.

[lighteningboy]

Orianthi needs to learn to stop soloing at the right time

[sonofkikkoman]

pretty bad mixing, but nice playing anyways.

[neazahmed]

orianthi the chiqi has entered in a bad forum, she better join lady gaga troops :(

[alexcubata]

Jeff Baxter and Steve have history :)))

[ardipithecus11]

Why that skinny bitch is playing a solo when Steve fucking Vai is there is beyond me.

[YOUDUDE56]

@ardipithecus11 Are you retarded?

[ardipithecus11]

@YOUDUDE56 insightful comment, doucheface. Keep sucking cocks.

[YOUDUDE56]

@ardipithecus11 That answers my question with a yes.

[ardipithecus11]

@YOUDUDE56 I bet you like fat dick in your ass. You are such a douche you probably don't even consider giving a reach around when going out on your men-fucking sprees.

[YOUDUDE56]

@ardipithecus11 You already answered my question with yes once. No need to answer it again.

[ardipithecus11]

@YOUDUDE56 So I'm retarded because I don't like what you do? Stay in school kid. You won't get any less stupid but at least you won't be as ignorant.

[YOUDUDE56]

@ardipithecus11 No, you're raearded because you're retarded.

[ardipithecus11]

@YOUDUDE56 These Orianthi fans are pretty fucking stupid. Can't put so much blame on 12 year olds though, even less when they are "rearded."

[1968sliceoflife]

Thank you for uploading this... Bur more than this... thank you for all the beautiful music. I loved your acceptance speech... It was full of gratitude and humility... I share your philosophy, somewhat. You've been a great inspiration to so many, myself included... keep sending out those vibrating thoughts for they eventually ripple back like glorious reverb... magnifying all good things. I toast your courage and conviction... Congratulations... Tanti Aguri ! (may be misspelled... sorry.)

[oooledzeppelinooo]

a moment of silence for steve's hair

[MrCeej9999]

@oooledzeppelinooo

Does this mean the end of his on stage wind machine?

1990-2011 RIP wind machine

[thrrashmetalrocker]

I think of all these players , hendrix was the best. Hendrix really won

[pistache7]

Scalloping the guitar neck is great for wide and crazy bends !! (Soundmix is uncertain but the performance rocks )
