Vai is a little student of his teacher Satritooti and both ripped off Van Halen, they'd be nothing without Eddie, both just knock offs, but at least Satritoot did some cool tunes, Vai just tried to one up his teachers.
@applejive43 Wow! "Most respected MUSICIANS of ALL TIME" Do you get out much? I'm guessing if those two burnouts impress you to say such then your world might be very small. Vai was an expert at making fart noises on the guitar. Roth was good at yodeling in the mic and shaking his gay butt and bleaching his hair like a homo, is this what you call a musician? Yeah I was impressed when I was 15 yrs. old too. But now I see them as they really were.
@koletski21 well, every frontman of the late 80's basically copied david lee roth, so he had some sort of influence I GUESS, and vai is frequently put on lists of great guitarists, but you are obviously a homophobe so i dont regard you with any decency, fact is that these guys are very famous, successful, and good at what they do so i just find it in bad taste when assholes like you put down someone else for doing what they love
@applejive43 You might add that Vai and Satriani among others also copied Eddie too. Van Halen did real well, it was a good chemistry. But after Roth left and Van Halen got Hagar it reminded me of a perfect couple that breaks up and tries to pretend to be happy with their new partners, but it's obvious they are with inadequate substitutes. Of course we'd have to imagine the Van Halen split was a "gay couple" split since they were all actually men regardless of Dave's gay hair. But nevertheless.
@wolfgangaxiola And while Eddies been doing NOTHING for 20 years except the odd shit tour with his fat son, Vai was composing and creating a multitude of albums while touring with numerous talented bands with inspired music (including this 1) Creating charities and opportunities for kids and never letting his ego get the better of him.
I'm not going to lie, the supergroup is DLR, EVH, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony. Every single song the original Van Halen made was great. Possible exception with "On Fire"... never really liked that song.
I saw Dave and Steve in 88, I guess on the Skyscraper tour. Loudest concert I've ever been to, almost too loud. I wish this band lineup had stayed together. Eat'em and Smile is still one of my favorites.
Fucking presumptuous David Lee Roth. He thought he's the heart of Van Halen band, that he was worship by everyone and the problem is that he was right. All Van Halen fans followed him like sheep when he left the band and still loved him. Damn, he fucked up the great band just to follow his huge ego and instead of making him go bankrupt, people make him become even more popular and successful. It's a shame: if someone fucks up my favorite band, he's gotta pay for it, I'll never buy his solo stuff
@Tokopol If Roth hadn't started thinking he was a superman he wouldn't have left Van Halen and the band might not have become "Van Hagar", as you've called it. However, nothing to say against Sammy Hagar, who's got double of the skills of Diamond Dave, much more voice extension and power, much better stage presence and is not a fucking drunk. David Lee Roth was an inventor, a genius, his way of singing while talking was very new, but on live he did suck. He was a dickhead. He's not to be worship
for all the shit david lee roth gets for being a prat, he really seems to appreciate and enjoy the musicians around him and include them in his stage show. i'd love to know from guys like vai etc what he was like to work for
JIMI HENDRIX...I went to see him play...Live! When he played everyone just watched...Yeah , he was that good...Truth be told there's alot of good players out there Eddy and Jimi created great songs and both had a sound like none before them...Think its easy? Show me what you got.....Its not kool to compare great guitar players....Better to enjoy......FuriousMusic lets rock :)
I totally agree about their awesome musicianship, but looking at this video, I have to say the costumes and they way they are acting is totally gay! I used to love this band at that time, too. Just stop wearing those f**king tights, and sticking your asses in the audiences faces!! Yuck!
I never liked Hendrix although he can play blues very good but that's just it, some people like blues and some don't.Blues has the meaning of sadness through instrument and isn't respected in proper music much and it's ethnic in culture.I'm a classical and harmony fan so blues is not priority for me but that's it,to me.Vai or EVH had Hendrix not been so doped up and lived to see them play would've given them mad props and Eddie didn't need Hendrix for his style he has noted Les Paul for that.
The best way to put it is:if Eddie is the King of rock guitarist.then that would make Steve Vai the God of Rock guitarist.Steve has done everything to play with Frank Zappa to DLR,WhiteSnake and beyond to his own solo career.The only guitar player in the world on the same level as Steve would be Joe Satriani...nuff said
@Hawkmoon51 Ask Stevie Vai who the king /god of guitar is.Ask Eddie or even SRV.The answer is the same,Jimi Hendrix.Jimi would probably say Robert Johnson or Albert King.Do some research I reckon you'll be happily satisfied.Not to knock Stevie Via though,he is a dedicated genius.

what's wrong with you guys? does it matter to compare other artist to another? just enjoy this fuckin' great song. and btw it isn't true that Vai imitated Eddie. go listen to Vai's songs first and give a proper comment. Vai's more likely to Zappa rather than Eddie
@AndJustice For Me : Are you a musician? Didn't think so. Do you know the first thing about music beyond just listening to it? Apparently not. This video is certainly not what I'd consider to be even a shadow of what Vai is capable of. Do yourself a favor and type "Now We Run" in the search box above, watch and listen to Mr Vai & Co. You will never find even ONE EVH song that even comes close to that. Vai is ten times the artist and composer that Eddie is. Sorry.
@cnoteq Vai is ten times the artist and composer than Eddie? LOL! Why has Vai fallen into virtual obscurity then? Vai had a great career...following in Eddie's footsteps.
@cnoteq eeeks slow down there. ALbeit I think Vai is a better guitar player, I would think by even having to explain who he is, would say that hes not quite the composer EVH is. Eddie got rich and famous off of Eddie. Not off of other peoples stuff. Eddie was not a just band member, he was the band. Eddie was not a replacable member. Steve Vai always has been, or was a replacement. You couldnt replace Eddie. Its like sticking Slash in Justin Bebers band, It aint going to help the music.
One of ther greatest super bands of all time. No one today can shit about it. Go listen to your papa roach & disturbed you little cunts... All those bands combined don't have an atom of talent that Steve Vai or DLR has in one of their finger nail clippings.
@GhettoGinny I listen to modern better bands that have so much more talent than this... lolol while I like Van Halen, not so much Roth solo era. I have live modern metal bands on my page that puts this to complete shame.
@GhettoGinny ....I acknowledge that they are far superior yet I enjoy listening to disturbed. To call everyone that listens to at least moderately decent music "cunts" is fucked up when there are people listening to hip hop and pop bullshit. Dick.
randy rhoades said van halens guitar playing was all smoke and mirrors, that george lynch was a better player...if randy was alive today and saw steve play...he would say...damn that dude can kick van halens ass....
@AndJusticeForMe : Look what you stated is a fucking opinion -sure, you're entitled to it, but it just shows you are a closed minded FUCK. Steve Vai could have played EVH's solo note for note, no problem.....but WHY THA FUCK WOULD HE??!! There comes a point where ya gotta be your own man , and not a fucking follower. But I don't expect you to understand that.
@hazor777 Sorry, but my post wasn't an opinion...it was a fact. Steve Vai has been a EVH rip-off from day one. And deep down you know I'm right. That's exactly why Roth hired him. And where is Steve Vai today? At the local bowling alley? The local pub? What the hell has he even done in the past decade? I know exactly how it went: Steve Vai heard Eruption for the first time and said, "Damn, I wanna be like him." Vai is probably the best EVH rip-off, but a rip-off nonetheless.
@AndJusticeForMe : no, IT IS your opinion. Matter of fact Steve Vai's playing is more like Frank Zappa's & Hendrix than most other players. Yea, he "does" Van Halen, THAT'S WHY he was hired by Roth -duh. Vai has been putting out an album at least every yr since then , dumbass. Thing is you're so far up your own ass to have ever known. And so what if he was "at the bowling alley/the pub" - a hell of alot more than ANYTHING a douchebag like yourself behind your PC could ever say, huh?
@hazor777 Oh yes. I'm getting you all fired up. I like that. I find it very cute that you defend crap so passionately. Look, you can polish and perfume a turd all you want; its still a turd. Without Van Halen, there would be no Vai, Satriani, Rhoads, etc. And Vai has put out albums? LOL! Have you had CD release parties with the ten other people who bought the albums? HMMMM, I don't really see Steve Vai in arenas and stadiums that much anymore. I wonder why. Get schooled, son. You can't compete.
@AndJusticeForMe : "son" ? uh.,o.k. "dad". "Get Schooled"???? Ha. Thanks for the laugh. Yea, if it makes you feel better (and probably does -low self esteem,obviously) to think you have me "fired up" , by all means :go ahead. If you knew your rock history, you'd know that EVH & RR were basically from around the same area, at the same time and played the same clubs.Hey Im a die hard EVH fan myself, but I have to call out douchebags when I see em - (i.e. you), -- your reply? (*yawn*)
@hazor777 Ah, I see you're still emotional even though you're trying to conceal it now that I've called you on it. I see right through it. Its OK; let your emotions run wild. Just more of a reward to me, knowing that I got under your skin. And I'm glad to know your brain hasn't been totally consumed by mental disease, considering you are an EVH fan. I applaud you. Even though you're a Vai fan (which is laughable and almost unforgiveable), you aren't a complete total loss. You are dismissed.
@AndJusticeForMe : oooooooooo........guess you "told" me, huh? (*yawn*) . See your whole argument is based on your OPINION of who's "best" - but if you're too stupid to understand basic English 101 (diff btw an opinion & fact), then I can't help you. Interesting to see all the comments that backed up my argument after your sad & pathetic little self proclaimed troll "victory" on here. Simply put: you are an IDIOT to truest sense of the word. Go ahead have your pathetic last word, douchebag.....
@hazor777 Oh, I can feel the anger through the computer. Guess I got under your skin more than I thought. Sorry about that. You may go back to listening to substandard guitarists now.
@AndJusticeForMe 1. EVH plays blues/minor harmonic scales. Vai plays every scale.
2. In the past decade, Vai has released 1 studio album, multiple live/orchestral albums including with G3, been on multiple world tours, and won 2 grammy awards. How many did EVH win?
3. If you have any sort of ear training you would be able to realize that they don't sound similar at all.
4. Try not to sound so ignorant and hop off EVH's cock.
@billybob728 I can tell you really tried to form a persuasive argument; the problem is that it didn't work. You are actually comparing Vai's accomplishments to EVH's? Eddie has more #1 albums, more fans, more money, more GOTY awards, been on a few more world tours than Vai, etc. You know there really isn't a comparison; you are just trying to make something stick. And believe me, and I agree, that EVH and Vai sound nothing alike. Vai imitated Eddie just like Vince Neil imitated David Lee Roth.
@AndJusticeForMe I'm comparing Vai's accomplishments in the last 10 years to EVH's. That's why I said "In the past decade," before I stated my point. As far as putting together a persuasive argument, if that's what you call reading facts off of wikipedia and posting them here, I should have a law degree.
Also, I don't really think no.1 albums and your net worth really matters since Justin Bieber probably has more of both.
By the way, I'm still not sure what exactly Vai is copying of EVH?
@AndJusticeForMe ...Dude, get a clue. Vai loves EVH...but has a totally different style and sound. Steve is very experimental w/sounds/styles and odd times..Eddie is not ...do some research before you spout off stupid shit...just cause YOU dont know what Vai is doing means he's doing nothing??.....its a crybaby guess on your part..you dont know facts!...The last 10 years?: Countless cd's, tours, dvd's, G3 concerts....Ed & Steve both have a place as rock GOD guitarists!..I love em both.Deal w/it!
@mikeybbdrummin Of course Vai loves VH; he made a career out of imitating him. Vai is dead and the whole world is electric over the new VH music that is coming soon. Does anyone ever get this excited over a Vai project? Um, let me see...nope.
@AndJusticeForMe ....Everyone is excited cause DLR is back...yea they got excited for VH 3 too didnt they!?....You know nothing bout music if you think Vai sounds like EVH....Vai took the guitar to a level even EVH cant touch. EVH is great and does great w/a band. Look at Vai's career w/bands and solo..it speaks for itself..Grammy winning as a solo artist..u dont have to like him, but u cant change these facts........y r u even here...go listen to Metallica..,talk about no excitement....please!
I don't steve vai screwed it up. if you don't like it you kinda have to look at the facts, DLR left van halen and wasn't happy with the members in that band. he wanted someone that was "better than edde". (ed is my favorite guitar player but i think vai is better,) Roth wanted the song to lose all sense of what ed did. so vai switched it up.
It's because Steve Vai is overrated and boring that he screwed up the song. The only thing he has is decent guitar tone and I guess that makes him a good guitar player?
hmmm. let's be honest, his playing is messy and he doesnt really connect with the music he's playing. if you wish to see a nice soulfull instrumental piece then i suggest you check out this vid of my playing at /watch?v=NIFblN5hgUs&feature=related
This proves Vai should start his own hunting outrigging company, because if he woyuld butcher a deer or moose, the ay he butchered Eddie's solo alone on this video, Vai would be a millionaire.......that was terrible. He is no where near eddie's class. No wonder no one wants to hire Vai, evident here.
@Lucicsux i'll admit, his performance of eddie's solo was less than admirable, however steve vai was a fucking good guitarist back then. Look up "jet to jet" by alcatrazz he plays yngwie's solo to that flawlessly live in japan
@0riginalHipster im not a big Ywingie fan either, I like Steve Morse, Joe Walsh, Page, Tipton, the old school guys. I guess for modern rock i like Dave Mustaine, But, the bottom line is, i started playing guitar because of Eddie. Cheers
David Lee Roth sucks without Van Halen. It doesn't matter who he jams with. Vai sounds good while Roth is so off key it is embarrassing. All Roth has is drunk / high ego BS vocals, with a half ass stage show. This song sucks thanks to Roth. Steve Vai rocks!
they should band the ability to comment just be abel to send messages about they think about there videos thst the best way to quit the hate u know what i mean
say what you will about "fag this , fag that, flambouyant this, flambouyant that" etc..... but was it YOU GETTING ALL THAT PUSSY BACK IN 1986 LIKE THESE GUYS WERE??? NO? Yea, I thought so. It was the 80's douchebags: guys in bands had long hair wore tight shit,some makeup, and the women fuckin loved it ! We're all glad you little douchebags weren't born yet, it would have made it suck like everthing does now.
@astrobot7 : well if you were my son, Id be very proud. Make sure you get a steady diet of late 60's and 70's bands too , we wouldn't want you to suffer from "mal-rock-trition" !! As you were, sir.
@hazor777 Well if the way they dressed makes you wonder if they were gay or not, the shit they sang about should have removed any doubt they were NOT gay.
hazor777, I could not agree more with what you said. Music sucks huge balls today for the most part, nu metal is garbage, grunge is dead (thank God!), and the rest of what plays on the radio that is *supposed* to be rock is just crap. Kids these days have no idea what they missed. I'm 43 years old and I lived through the 80's metal scene (I actually lived on Hollywood Blvd from 1987-1988), and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything in the world. It was the best of times!
Vai is so much better than Halen in all ways shape, form, and fashion, Eddie just became selfish after the band when quiet and fired the bassist and replaced him with his son
@BLSFL If anything Vai is just copying evh, Vai Himself is a HUGE EVH fan, EVH is the second most influencial guitarist EVER! ( the first being hendrix)
Dave looks so much happier back playing with brothers, VH.
It's a shame he's lost some of his athleticism now, but I'd be willing to bet he could still do his mid air splits from the drum platform. They may need to postpone a few shows after that, for recovery time, but know he still has it in him.
Me think Dave Lee Roth band with Sheehan and Vai was one of the most entertaining and well plaing groups there has ever been.Sure you can find some that play "better" with some things,but in general.If you have saw them you will know what I mean.
like I said ibne, shut the fuck up before I cockslap you. Your comments are terrifying, you truly scare me with a name like awesome john net. O yuzden seni de seni doguranın da amına koyim ben. You stupid motherfucker.
As a guitarist, I'm not really into Vai, I find his playing really lacking in natural feel and groove. Satriani is my favourite in this kind of genre. Some of Steves on stage antics (and atire) are quite..........dare I say it..........gay.
My opinion only, which in the grand scheme of things, doesnt mean sh!t.
@rickyjshiznit I've been aware of Vai since his days with Zappa. I admit he's an incredible technician but I believe he misses the spirit of a true guitar player. Sometimes the simple way is the best way. Vai always over-complicates things, just because he can.
Vai is a little student of his teacher Satritooti and both ripped off Van Halen, they'd be nothing without Eddie, both just knock offs, but at least Satritoot did some cool tunes, Vai just tried to one up his teachers.

@AndJusticeForMe Steve Vai. And he didn't butcher it, he changed it because he's not EVH.

@AndJusticeForMe : Look what you stated is a fucking opinion -sure, you're entitled to it, but it just shows you are a closed minded FUCK. Steve Vai could have played EVH's solo note for note, no problem.....but WHY THA FUCK WOULD HE??!! There comes a point where ya gotta be your own man , and not a fucking follower. But I don't expect you to understand that.

@hazor777 Sorry, but my post wasn't an opinion...it was a fact. Steve Vai has been a EVH rip-off from day one. And deep down you know I'm right. That's exactly why Roth hired him. And where is Steve Vai today? At the local bowling alley? The local pub? What the hell has he even done in the past decade? I know exactly how it went: Steve Vai heard Eruption for the first time and said, "Damn, I wanna be like him." Vai is probably the best EVH rip-off, but a rip-off nonetheless.
AndJusticeForMe 5 months ago
@AndJusticeForMe : no, IT IS your opinion. Matter of fact Steve Vai's playing is more like Frank Zappa's & Hendrix than most other players. Yea, he "does" Van Halen, THAT'S WHY he was hired by Roth -duh. Vai has been putting out an album at least every yr since then , dumbass. Thing is you're so far up your own ass to have ever known. And so what if he was "at the bowling alley/the pub" - a hell of alot more than ANYTHING a douchebag like yourself behind your PC could ever say, huh?
hazor777 5 months ago
@hazor777 Oh yes. I'm getting you all fired up. I like that. I find it very cute that you defend crap so passionately. Look, you can polish and perfume a turd all you want; its still a turd. Without Van Halen, there would be no Vai, Satriani, Rhoads, etc. And Vai has put out albums? LOL! Have you had CD release parties with the ten other people who bought the albums? HMMMM, I don't really see Steve Vai in arenas and stadiums that much anymore. I wonder why. Get schooled, son. You can't compete.
AndJusticeForMe 5 months ago
@AndJusticeForMe : "son" ? uh.,o.k. "dad". "Get Schooled"???? Ha. Thanks for the laugh. Yea, if it makes you feel better (and probably does -low self esteem,obviously) to think you have me "fired up" , by all means :go ahead. If you knew your rock history, you'd know that EVH & RR were basically from around the same area, at the same time and played the same clubs.Hey Im a die hard EVH fan myself, but I have to call out douchebags when I see em - (i.e. you), -- your reply? (*yawn*)

@hazor777 Ah, I see you're still emotional even though you're trying to conceal it now that I've called you on it. I see right through it. Its OK; let your emotions run wild. Just more of a reward to me, knowing that I got under your skin. And I'm glad to know your brain hasn't been totally consumed by mental disease, considering you are an EVH fan. I applaud you. Even though you're a Vai fan (which is laughable and almost unforgiveable), you aren't a complete total loss. You are dismissed.

@AndJusticeForMe 1. EVH plays blues/minor harmonic scales. Vai plays every scale.
2. In the past decade, Vai has released 1 studio album, multiple live/orchestral albums including with G3, been on multiple world tours, and won 2 grammy awards. How many did EVH win?
3. If you have any sort of ear training you would be able to realize that they don't sound similar at all.
4. Try not to sound so ignorant and hop off EVH's cock.
billybob728 5 months ago
@billybob728 I can tell you really tried to form a persuasive argument; the problem is that it didn't work. You are actually comparing Vai's accomplishments to EVH's? Eddie has more #1 albums, more fans, more money, more GOTY awards, been on a few more world tours than Vai, etc. You know there really isn't a comparison; you are just trying to make something stick. And believe me, and I agree, that EVH and Vai sound nothing alike. Vai imitated Eddie just like Vince Neil imitated David Lee Roth.
AndJusticeForMe 5 months ago
@AndJusticeForMe I'm comparing Vai's accomplishments in the last 10 years to EVH's. That's why I said "In the past decade," before I stated my point. As far as putting together a persuasive argument, if that's what you call reading facts off of wikipedia and posting them here, I should have a law degree.
Also, I don't really think no.1 albums and your net worth really matters since Justin Bieber probably has more of both.
By the way, I'm still not sure what exactly Vai is copying of EVH?
billybob728 5 months ago
@AndJusticeForMe ...Dude, get a clue. Vai loves EVH...but has a totally different style and sound. Steve is very experimental w/sounds/styles and odd times..Eddie is not ...do some research before you spout off stupid shit...just cause YOU dont know what Vai is doing means he's doing nothing??.....its a crybaby guess on your part..you dont know facts!...The last 10 years?: Countless cd's, tours, dvd's, G3 concerts....Ed & Steve both have a place as rock GOD guitarists!..I love em both.Deal w/it!

@AndJusticeForMe ....Everyone is excited cause DLR is back...yea they got excited for VH 3 too didnt they!?....You know nothing bout music if you think Vai sounds like EVH....Vai took the guitar to a level even EVH cant touch. EVH is great and does great w/a band. Look at Vai's career w/bands and solo..it speaks for itself..Grammy winning as a solo artist..u dont have to like him, but u cant change these facts........y r u even here...go listen to Metallica..,talk about no excitement....please!

(ed is my favorite guitar player but i think vai is better,) Roth wanted the song to lose all sense of what ed did. so vai switched it up.

As a guitarist, I'm not really into Vai, I find his playing really lacking in natural feel and groove. Satriani is my favourite in this kind of genre. Some of Steves on stage antics (and atire) are quite..........dare I say it..........gay.
