This interview was filmed prior to the Covid-19 pandemic
Rollins and Vai the crossover we didn't know we needed.
I'd pay good money to hear vai a Rollins Band joint
And then it turns out they both love Tom Waits
This is BY FAR the best Steve Vai interview ever. Henry's questions were intelligent and curiosity-driven.
yes. nothing more to add but yes.
Yes. Not the same questions. Awesome.
Yes indeed!
vai looks strangely fat. the yngwie diet.
@@commentfreely5443 They both look great for 60 .. lets not be too harsh.. Vai is not fat at all, I think its the way he is seated and the lighting.. ;)
Vai is the best guy ever. Met him at the 20-year celebration of the release of his signature guitar and he treated me 10-year old kid like a king. Have always loved his music and will love him forever for how he treated my son.
Great guy...very cool
Unlike many well known people, he's a truly great person.
Henry Rollins is a great interviewer. He’s absolutely sincere and genuine.
I can listen this guy for hours to end and never get bored ... I don’t like black flag tho ... Steve vai is a god
I've long been aware of the existence of Henry Rollins and I knew him from punk days and as a spoken-word guy, but he seems an energetic and confident guy.
He learned from all the young journalists he used to bully I guess.
These guys were the 2 opposite ends of 80s rock and yet they come together here and show their similarities as wise and thoughtful men.
great point !
These are 2 of my fav humans.
I dont listen to their music all the time....but i listen to THEM, everytime i can..cos i really think they master the art of aging and sharing wisdom.
And... u know.. what COOL guys!, man. ;)
Mad respect for both these legends. I remember the 80' s when they were both in the prime. Now their wise elders elucidating musical spiritual wisdom.
Why isn't this a longer interview? These guys are ace.
Exactly my thoughts! We want more!
@Joe Passenger If you're talking about Vai, he's been married for 30 years and has two grown children.
@Joe Passenger loser af
No, that Varonica Vaughn is one fine peice of ace. I know from experience! Me and her got it on! Whoah!
@Joe Passenger Oh, I'm not up to date with terminology at all then. I only meant like it's a great interview, good vibes between them. I had no idea that "ace" meant anything else.
He got into Frank's circle for transcribing Frank's impossible guitar solos when he was 18!! 18 years old. Frank was so impressed he gave him a job, then saw Steve's playing and put him in the damn band. Vai is one exceptionally talented genius. A true music savant.
he auditioned, there is an interview where he mentions all this.
Wow, Tom waits, Vai’s favorite artist ... never seen that coming
Go out and get bone machine
Just won SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many brownie points in my book.
I did. Frank loved Waits. Waits opened for Frank often. Frank was his mentor.
@@urbanwizardsacademy9730 i recommend "Rain Dogs".
the black rider is excellent by Tom Waits
"Your Music has so much Music in it"
That in itself has to be the best compliment to an instrumentalist..
Steve is the kind of person who taps/pats/embraces you when you're talking to him. We need more people like him right now.
Wait a sec... Lemme get this straight. The guy who spends a large chunk of every day perfecting his craft finishes a set where he puts his whole body into it celebrating a milestone in his life didn't give the couple who crashed the party the love and admiration they think they deserve? I think Steve might have thought you to be a jerk.
@@thefog7067 regardless of your personal feelings you are still a jerk for what you did. And when you post to a public forum expect the public to reply.
Have a good day!
@@thefog7067 Unfortunately, celebrities and rock stars can't always be "ON", they can't always be charming, gracious, humble or happy to interact with fans.
It's not as simple as, "We love you, Steve Vai! We've been following your career since 19__ ! We own everything you've ever done! We named our son Steve after you!
Now please recognize me as the amazing super-fan that I am, and reward all my years of fandom by being genuinely ecstatic to see me, and want to talk to ME, and take a photo with ME!" The guy gets off the stage, probably had a crazily complex long-ass day and night, he's probably tired after giving 110% on stage. If you met him at a different time, under different circumstances, I'm sure he'd be the most awesome, gracious person and you'd have an incredible encounter. But life is all about timing, and I'm positive you simply caught him at a not-ideal moment. Like I said, he's fucking human, and we can't all always be happy-as-fuck to see everyone all the time.
This is kinda like the people that leave a negative Yelp review: there can be an amazing establishment, where people have worked and slaved for years to make it an awesome spot. And one customer has ONE (perceived) bad interaction with a staff member, and they write a 3 page Yelp thesis on how shitty the establishment is, how they shouldn't be in business, how dare they, blah blah blah. I've met a bunch of celebrities/rockers multiple times, and sometimes they were in a great mood and we had a great convo, other times they were in a "I don't really feel like talking/interacting" kinda mood. Give ole Steve another chance!
@@thefog7067 if your butthurt over my opinion maybe not share your jerk actions on a public forum. Also, throwing your wife under the bus is a jerk move, ya jerk
@Ittybittybabybubbies the3rd That's spooky ! Glad you had such a cool experience with Steve though 🙂
Solid explanation by Vai regarding the difference between discipline and passion in respect to his talent.
Man, really wish this was longer and that Steve could swap and have questions for Henry. Deeply respect both these gentleman.
“I don’t have cars, I don’t have an expensive guitar collection....I got a system brother”
- Steve Vai
God rollins is such an amazing interviewer he listens hes obviously a big fan of steves and they both clearly have massive respect for each other damn this was awesome hope there's a part 2
I don't know why I'm always so surprised by SV's insights. He explains things exactly as they are and in a way that I personally find very easy to translate into areas of life that don't necessarily involve music. He's simply a great mentor and I appreciate his wisdom dearly.
When Steve Vai mentions Zappa Henry gives him total heart eyes emoji 😍
The FZ re-issues on vinyl by Bernie Grundman are awesome!
Made him drool upon his dork
And gave him a wanking
Very silly. Please forgive me. I could't resist. Zappa fans will get that reference.
@@loafersheffield ....and eat the banana !
" I think the greatest tool is knowing how to listen " Excellent fundamental statement about life, not just music.
Coincidentally, earlier in the chat, I was noticing how good Rollins is as a listener. He let Vai open up as a person, and he listened.
This interview should be waaaaaaay LONGER!!!
Two amazing artists. We are looking at probably the two best examples of aging well in this industry 👏.
Henry looks totally blown away by just being in the same room as him. Man, could you imagine being a musician and getting to pick Steve's brain?
These are 2 of my favorite humans, I never thought these guys sitting down for something like this...incredible. If Mike Patton popped up from the behind the board I would have had an aneurism
Two really great personalities FIGHTING to be the nicest! Love that kind of fight!
I ❤ them
Thank you very much GOD bless Everyone
HR knows more about humanity than most. Rollins for President!
Amen, Unfortunately the people of The USA couldn't handle his COLD HARD TRUTH.
BigStevie93 Shades of President Donald Trump!
''Passion And Warfare'' still blows my mind. When it came out it changed the game. Also I am English and I adore Henry Rollins. Zappa said to Steve ''keep your publishing'' which Steve didn't understand at first however this is the reason he didn't sign with the label for Flexible. Great advice:)
Oh man. Two legends ... and two very articulate, thoughtful people who really have something to say.
This is an interview that should be used as an instructional video on how to conduct an interview. Henry Rollins is spot-on in his questions, not rambling but directly focused on asking the perfect question that we want to know the answer to. Fantastic interview ! I wish all interviews, on any subject, where this good.
It's always so cool to hear Henry talk about vinyl. He did a spoken word thing in Dublin in 2016 where he talked about sitting next to Lemmy on a private flight and bugging him about old Hawkwind singles and LPs -- Henry got hardcore asking Lem about the paper they used, the alternate cover designs.
Henry is an amassing interviewer. He excels in everything he does. 10/10
so glad henry interviewed steve, instead of someone who'd ask something like "how does it feel to be a rockstar?"
This is totally something Henry would ask as well
'people who are famous, go insane'
Steve's backyard analogy to mixing was great. Another great Rollins interview.
Dallas, salad. Check out “The Art of Mixing” by David Gibson. The whole book is based around the concept of mixing within a cube (basically a room). It’s a very visual book on how to pan instruments left to right, front to back and up and down. It’s very good.
I thought this as well, super interesting way to think of this concept.
Henry is literally sitting on the edge of his seat, like he's genuinely interested and curious about Steve's answers and insight. You can't get better than that.
I love the way Vai talks with his hands. It's one of those things where its obvious why he is so expressive with his hands while he talks, but still fascinates me every time I see him talk.
Henry lights up one he starts taking about vinyl. He has always appreciated music in such a different level.
If ever the phrase "kindred spirits" would apply for any interview it is this one. HR is an amazing human being.
Henry and Steve. Absolute treasure. My love to them both.
I loved Steve forever and then the internet showed me that he is also a great guy. Thank you internet.
Steve Vai is such a balanced beautiful human. Love his interviews. Love Henry too, he’s just real as it gets.
Two of my heroes in the same room. Mind blown 🤯
Literally one of the best Vai interviews I’ve ever seen. Such great questions, and interactions…
Steve meeting Frank was a match made in an Italian heaven. Love how Steve picked up that little slice of passionate insanity Frank had.
When he said he likes atmosphere I knew instantly where he was going. Tom is my favorite as well for that reason. Put on Rain Dogs and close your eyes, it will take you to a different world that he designed.
Vai is such a cool guy.
Very interesting hearing his label setup. I have done two deals 50/50 split and its always worked best for everyone. Its the way!
I love it when the interviewer actually has the same passion for the things that the guest has. Great job Henry, you guys look like two best friends
Mr Steve Vai, you always surprisess me. Don't know how he does it, but he does. Each interview. Amazing man and guitar player, of course.
I've only gotten seriously into Tom Waits in the past year or so. To hear these two monsters talk about how Waits' music can affect you and affects them? Whole new level of appreciation for both of them.
2 of my fav artists on earth, Henry going all the way back to his Flag days, and been watchingv Steve going just as far back, when he 1st went out on the road at 19 with Frank.
They come from such different worlds, from which people could easily fail to respect the other, but these two are wise enough to see the greatness of both of each other's roots, and I wouldn't be surprised if they already did so when they were just kids on the scene.
"your music has so much music in it..." -Henry Rollings
Surprisingly profound
Talk about falling in the "Things You Didn't Know You Needed" category. I can't imagine two musicians with more different styles but, clearly, the same love of the art. Awesome just doesn't seem adequate enough a descriptive. Stay safe everyone. Cheers.
I was so excited to experience an interview from two very different worlds of music I both love. I only wish it was longer.
Didn't realise how much I'd wanted too see these guys interact until now. Would happily listen to hours of that!
What a great conversational chemistry these two have... could have watched hours of this.
They could be brothers
One of the BEST Vai's interview!
Henry's brain is built around music...what an inspiration.. the guy knows just what to ask and talk about. Fantastic, doesn't get any better!
Steve's an unabashed genius. I'm glad he was around to look up to when I was a boy.
Damn. I was waiting more for Henry’s questions than I was for Steve’s answers! What a fantastic interviewer! Looks like Steve really enjoyed it as well.
"listening is hard", so so true. Most of us just "hear", most of the time.
One of the greatest frontmen and one of the greatest guitar virtuosos
By far best Vai interview ever!
Amazing job Mr. Rollins
Great interview! Steve Vai is such a knowledgeable and inspirational person, in addition to being a musical god! All this and being interviewed by an equally knowledgeable and inspirational Henry Rollins! What's not to love? :)
this really needs to be 4 hours longer
part 2 please!! know u have more of this! Pearl of the day. Love.
Great interview!!! I love how intently Rollins listens...he almost looks angry!!
Henry always asks the best questions. It would be great to listen to music with him or Steve.
Rollins is a very real and articulate man. Vai is just so deep. Great interview!👍👍👍👍
Absolutely love this- LOVE THIS. Two sweet guys who are passionate about life and what they do.
Was never a Black Flag fan, but then I discovered Henry Rollins the racounteer, telling stories, doing interviews like this. Big fan. Oh and a shout out to Steve...
Two smart guys , different backgrounds. Could listen to them chat all day ..
Why isn’t this a weekly show I loved the podcast all the great stories...miss the old ifc show too Henry Rollins is a great interviewer
I remember buying Flexible and Flexible Leftovers in 1986 through the mail along with a Steve Vai Light Without Heat t-shirt after hearing The Attitude Song on one of those Guitar Player song page. But the thing I really wished I had kept were the 10 or so photocopied guitar lessons of weird, quirky things that looked like they were typed on a Commodore 64 computer. Surprised Rollins didn't ask about Steve's Roth days. Henry was always a huge DLR fan.
Thank you Mr. Rollins! If there’s more of this, we’d love to see it. Also, please do a spoken word record with Steve providing sonic atmosphere.
Man this is so cool! I never thought I'd see Henry interview Mr. Vai! Great stuff!
I like Steve Vai a lot. He is a beautiful person and a huge talent.
Man this is such a good interview! Legends!
Henry, bring Glenn Danzig for next episode. That would be epic!
in high school i saw the Rollins Band open for Jane's Addiction and Stevie in the Eat 'Em & Smile Tour....amazing memories!
2 of My Favorites having a Conversation about Music, this is Epic!
I so appreciate the bit about Tom Waits. Words fail me talking about him. I'm crying just thinking about some of those songs, Steve.
I could listen to the two of them all day
Wish this interview was much longer, such a deep understanding and respect there, amazing insights
This was a fantastic interview Mr Henry Rollins needs to be the one to interview all musicians
Wow two of my favourite musicians chatting together, and Steve Via mentions Tom waits, another of my favourites. A great clip.
i would always see him around but since his music wasnt my cuppa , i never knew how cool and smart he is. thanks for doing this talk. cheers
Two of my favorite musicians and thinkers having a convo. Love it.
For being so short it was a really great interview! Boosh!
Oh my god! I NEVER thought I’d see these two chit chatting...that makes me happy
Not that surprising, they were both heavily influenced by Zappa.
For sure. It makes sense that these guys would respect each other, but I was really surprised to see the pairing in my feed.
If there's an hour of this then please, please upload it!
I just listened to my Steve Vai's Flexable 12 and 10 inch vinyl on my Pioneer receiver and turntable SO DOPE
What? Oh, I see! It was just 13 minutes ... I could have listened for 13 hours! From Henry Rollins opening to Steve Vai saying "Well, ..." I concluded this would be a great interview. It was !!! Henry Rollins is a great interviewer with such a wonderful clear focus and a non nonsense attitude it will be hard to go on listening to other interviews because the bar has been raised. Oh, well ...
And Steve Vai is ... Steve Vai !!! All his interviews are great. He makes the background noise in the world fade away and when he stops the world slowly comes back. Two Giants !!!
I never thought I'd see the day that these two would ever be in the same room. Great interview.:)
What an excellent interview! I think HR and SV could chat for an hour or more and it'd be fascinating.
yes,,Henry asks the right and interesting questions,,,and therefore gets amazing answers.fantastic ,,thanks
Great interview 👍 S Vais explains Passion vs Discipline 👏 spot on
Vai & Rollins...?! Matter meets antimatter - if anybody had suggested this combination in the nineties worlds would have collapsed. Great to see this happening and this is one great interview. Please make a longer version!!
Steve Vai loves Tom Waits..... never would have guessed.
And I have Flexible on vinyl.... and it's great.
Absolute legends, two of my all time favourites in music. Hope there is more footage!
I love listening to these guys. Awesome.
There should definitely be more of this. These two had an intelligent conversation about music while still being fan boys of certain things. I agree with Steve that the smell of vinyl is intoxicating. Makes me miss all my old stuff.
