ALCATRAZZ: TOO YOUNG TO DIE TOO DRUNK TO LIVE, First Steve Vai Gig

This is the opening song of the first Steve Vai Gig with alcatrazz. You can hear some assholes in the crowd chanting for Yngwie and insulting Steve especially at the end of the song! That's because nobody in the crowd knew that Malmsteen had left the band few days before and Steve was unknown to the metal Brigade back in the day. A great gig and it's funny anyway to hear those reactions. Graham Bonnet in an incredible vocal shape!

It's not like Vai did'nt do the song justice. I like Yngwie better myself but Vai sounds good on this. Very Yng-Vai Malm-Steve. If you know what I mean.

In '96 I had the pleasure of going out to eat with Vai. He told the story of this first gig. True - No one knew he'd replaced Yngwie. They were all shouting for Yngwie before Vai walked out. I remember him saying, "No one clapped, BUT no one left...". I guess people clapped... But the crowd was pretty harsh.

@legacy000 I think it was 3-4 days - Not hours.

[TheMetalGuy852]

in all fairness the best of their music was written with yngwie, so really they weren't lying when heckling them

[TheLydianRocks]

@TheMetalGuy852 lol your right, while shitting all over his tone at the same time

[dickravis]

graham bonnet is STRONG here.

...and this is a period in time when vai was still tolerable.

he became such a pompous unlistenable dickhole.

[legacy000]

people say that Vai had just a couple of hours to learn all the playlist before the show start, dont know if is true but that guy really know something about guitar...
