[EAE9778]

169 people don't know a great guitarist from their ass.

[AndyMrSong]

@EAE9778 those guys are just stupid

[stevegoetsch1]

Simply one of the greatest Guitar Masters we will ever know or hear. 100 years from now musicians will remember Steve Vai,s name!

[iAussieGuy]

Holy jesus, the intro is godly, when steve starts tapping i get shivers every time.

[arturodv7]

Minute 1:08 - 1:37 He opened the door and God came to see him

[littletimmyeggfart]

God gave him those two hands and a face like Fido's ass.

[Vailover4ever]

Nothing comes close to this,such powerful and upliftitng at the same time.

[stevevaiisnumber1]

You're the best man!

[WillieDines1]

@tunderkat

Bullshit, they still can't make a decent left handed guitar without someone having to have one custom built by a luthier with varioues spare Ibanez (Or other branded) parts.

It's not the guitar that makes the music, it's the one who's playing it!

[funkster007]

Steve really lit up the place that night. Just watching the expressions on people's faces during this song was unforgettable. Great show, and the Northrop is an amazing venue for live music.

[DoctorHannibal]

Mangini!!!

[maktamabeles]

crying .....

[mightyx]

what did he do at 3:03

[13Theworstwitch]

this is The Best rendition of his "For the love of God" so far i have heard!

[StiansNorskeNyheter]

this is the best song he made, the new shit he makes today is bad.. too much whammy bar stuff...

This 1996 version is the best of vai.

[MasterOfTrapos]

@StiansNorskeNyheter retract yourself

vai's stuff never cease to be good

maybe kind of sloppy but not bad

still good

anyway, vai's music is always good

[SusYangYang]

can anyone explain to me how he's doing the harmonics in the beginning part before the song?

[RushFanPix]

@SusYangYang Magic :-)

[MasterOfTrapos]

@SusYangYang feedback and sustainer

[JoeNoobie]

Why do these "rock and roll" musicians always make the most retarded, derpy looking fuck faces while they play their instrument?

[gastonsamuel]

@JoeNoobie you would never understand

[thetittymonster7]

@JoeNoobie because they play with feel and emotion. its a musician thing. you wouldnt ever be able to properly understand.

[joethestrat]

@JoeNoobie It's called soul, try some.

[PedroMeuca]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you tell a tale without words.

[MrIobari]

6:37 love this part

[SergioWhattsUps]

Where is the Steve's Fan?

[pablox875]

I seriously LOVE this

[Vailover4ever]

[KillCleaf]

Mike fucking Mangini on drums

[bekas98moe]

wow! awesome look my cover: bekas98moe

[BestGuitarBros]

look at how fast he's sweeping. and how his shred all goes together.

[drds89]

the main line reminds me of the music for the TV show Kung Fu with David Carradine in the 70s.

[purk12]

MIke Mangini is Fucking Awesome!!!

[ltayl1]

Back in the days when evo had a gold bridge

[SteveShredder]

FUCKING AWESOME !

[Ranseloke]

It was just perfect!

[6pipo1]

He is one of the best guitarists known to mankind

[maxquad21]

Zack Wylde once said of Steve. " Hes a great player, but silly rabbet,tricks are for kids.

[cauberallies]

That intro is one of my all time favorite pieces of music.

[TrappedunderIcE7]

that solo sounded like sex being translated into guitar.

[520Peejay420]

@TrappedunderIcE7 Anal?

[TrappedunderIcE7]

@520Peejay420

Vaginal, you fool

[520Peejay420]

@TrappedunderIcE7 Oh ok then.

[Mauro64Pereira]

00:39 Best Part

[Whiteout1O1]

How the hell can you dislike this....this..... Specimen!!

[MrTornado61]

[TheHEAVYMETALHEAD]

The level on the guitar should of been a bit higher and more concentrated!

[03GuitarPlayer11]

A True Artist

[CCTSPORTES]

Im a drummer, and i approve!!

[CCTSPORTES]

Mangini!

[Kristopful]

There are great guitar shredders....Then there are great guitar technicians ...Then there are great guitar players.

Steve Vai is the latter.....but is also all above.

[moviewizard471]

phenomenal. fucking phenomenal. that's all you can say. the amount of control he has over the guitar is incredible. he has changed guitar technique completely

[Lisaport2011]

Love, Steve's Music!!

[kostas2419]

is this emmanuelson on bass guitar??? O.O

[xarthurz]

7:59 does anyone know what type of delay effects steve uses here?

[xamundx]

@xarthurz The "haxalot" pedal

[yngvai777]

his was Steve in his prime, IMHO.

[LETYZYAK]

no me canso de escucharlo!!!!!! excelente...orgasmico!!!!

[dhemerson115]

esse cara é muito sinistro não existe melhor q ele nesse mundo inteiro, pede pra satriani ou petrucci ou slash fazerem o q ele faz q eles vão ficar sem dedo. Tom morello então nem vou falar nada. até o guitarrista base do steve vai é melhor q ele!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kristopful]

Vai has "massive" hands...The only other guitarist I can think of now, who had such massive hands was Hendrix.?

Vai is a genius IMO..big hands or no hands.

[BiLL03590]

@Kristopful also Paul Gilbert bro.. all his fingers are the same size... its a fact



[Secretiro]

@BiLL03590 Also Dimebag Darrel

[Kristopful]

@BiLL03590 I don't know Paul Gilbert....I will look him up. Some ppl will say .."how have you missed Paul Gilbert..." The fact is, I have missed a lot of greats. I tried as an excersise to list ALL the great classical composers I know. I got to about 20. On examination I had missed out about 15 composers in my record collection..many of them "Master Composers" (not obscure).

I know alot of music, but also very little.!?!... john Martyn also had big hands.

[according2ed]

@ junqueirapedro13 "The right name of this song is "For the love of Steve Vai", please correct the title."

Vai knows that the inspiration behind him is greater than he will ever be, and in that humility, was able to see that fragment of the beauty of God, and translate that experience to this beautiful tribute to the source of his inspiration. I was severely touched when i heard it, wondered why, but wasn't surprised when i saw the title. That doesn't make him a saint. But this was his moment.

[blackanimal666]

Este vídeo hizo que yo hace años empezara a tocar guitarra eléctrica............grande Vai!!

[mafiaohs]

[omar198a]

Today I heard a guy saying that Slash is better than Steve Vai. He had an accident, hahaha i was kidding, he died.

[FinalFantasyCenter]

@omar198a Although i believe Mr. Vai is way better than Slash, let me tell you this: Respect others' opinions.

[kief4diamonds]

@omar198a i hear bs like that all the time. like stevie ray vaughn and those guys can compare to vai or michael angelo batio. hahaa.

[Angryification]

@omar198a He's also why I've been in jail for the past 20 years

[rbcrazyriderrb]

is that bridge made of gold?

[Draceius]

@rbcrazyriderrb I don't think so, but look on the floyd rose website, its there.

[saintofhell91]

[kieenn]

[Sebastianodelarada]

[junqueirapedro13]

The right name of this song is "For the love of Steve Vai", please correct the title.

[youcdtube]

[Shapechanger08]

[brummell67]

[14sieghart]

unbelievable

[pd07048patrick]

does anyobdy have an opinion on whose guitar sound is better than steve's? that sounds like what God's guitar would sound like...it is so clear and magical!!!!

[asomateasomate]

Excelente DVD :D

[nubzz]

Though Satch is my fav Vai has learned to channel and make the guitar play him.

[RushFanPix]

This is my favourite performance of this song. It's just so gorgeous!

[annolenno]

First i was like: Okay? Give me some more Jimi Hendrix!

Now i am like: Who the hell is Jimi Hendrix?

[MUNIZKAUE]

Mestre.. the best.

[Nameless742]

If I chose one song to listen to for the rest of my life. I am quite sure it'd be this.

[liciying]

Nope, Steve just as other pro musicians perfectly feels the beat.

[nunks]

the amount of control he easily exerts over the electric guitar is incredible. it's completely beyond simple "acrobatics", it's more like the instrument as a natural extension of his body. of course, a lot of this is also due to his excellent showmanship, which adds to his other qualities. Vai is one of the last great guitar heroes still standing and showing us all how it is done and how the sky is really below the limit...

[shardprime]

I was four years old at the time. If only I had known what I was missing out on.

[js6729]

fucking awesome

[jhonrox]

164 people Like Modern shit chugging bands

[ajkfrty7]

can you get tabs for the tapping solo at the start?



[phrygian3rd]

Maybe Steve's success had something to do with his LI upbringing??? Westbury LI??? Remember a cat named Joe Satriani???

[TheKenster117]

164 people like 16in rock hards jammed and crammed in their holes

[dirdydraws]

[skateboardinguitaris]

@sacredgeometry. People at Guitar Center said that only Ibanez and Schecter had 24 frets though. Well I guess I can go correct them? Lol

[sacredgeometry]

@skateboardinguitaris Well they are idiots, there isnt enough space in the comment section to put all the brands that have 24 fretted guitars, most do.

[skateboardinguitaris]

@sacredgeometry. I know. I figured that out already

[MultiNanotec]

EXCELENTE PERFORMANCE

ÓTIMO INSTRUMENTAL

[Gypscrew]

what year did he get his frets on his guitar redesigned?

[sacredgeometry]

@Gypscrew I think last year or the year before... you mean the funky shaped ones that fix the intonation issues right?

[Gypscrew]

@sacredgeometry yea, he had a video talking about his new frets or whatever. it was just the frets that were redesigned.

[skateboardinguitaris]

The only brand that makes 24 fret guitars is Schecter and possibly Ibanez. Unless that is a "Fender-customed" Ibanez

[TheKonarider23]

@skateboardinguitaris and my dean has 24, and i know esp makes a lot of guitars with 24 frets

[sacredgeometry]

@skateboardinguitaris What the hell are you talking about there are hundreds of brands and luthiers out there than make 24fret guitars there are some that make 27, 29 + frets.

[skateboardinguitaris]

HOW IN THE WORLD DID HE GET A 24 FRET FENDER?

[sacredgeometry]

@skateboardinguitaris its not a fender its a ibanez jem :P

[MrNirvanaNEVERmind]

this is the intro song of some bands playing in padis point - Philippines. :D

[Yakushiji123]

Steve Vai filho da puta!

Melodia desgraçada!

sz

[juanbuche]

Al principio la caga el de la bateria. jajajaja. no entra cuando es y lo denconcentra a Steve Vai, y por ende las luces se encienden antes.. que oso pobre baterista jajajaja.

[Dublegi96]

[melvmetal]

hate when the cam moves off steves guitar.

[angee577]

HOW IT"S POSSIBLE?

THANKS FOR THIS GUITAR !
