      Rich F I met him at Mannys on 49th back in the day and he was such a gentleman and we chatted for nearly 10 min. He is a genuinely good man.

    Stevie is absolutely professional and gentle guy. In a simple interview...with the most usual questions... he can talk easy and bring a lot of new informations inside the answers.

    What is amazing to me, is how Steve made every band he ever play in, better! There are not many musicians, if any on this earth, that had such an impact on work they did!

    I saw Steve do a solo in Phila. for David Lee Roth, he went into a solo and fell on the floor like Hendrix , playing the solo I looked up at the camera monitor and Steve was puking while playing the solo. Maybe he was drunk, maybe he had the flu. I dont know but it was cool !

    Interviewer-- So you play guitar for a few stars, for the last 4 or 5 centuries"...
    Steve-- Well, if you're talking about 4 DECADES"... Didn't make fun of him with that gargantuan mistake, had a smile on his face to show the camera that he's actually listening to what the interviewer is asking, says only one thing about Steve Vai--
    FUCKING CLASS ACT !

    Over the years, I have found Steve Vai to be a 'virtuoso" of guitar players. He is a perfectionist, but somehow he didn't have the press marketers many of the rock bands had. Everyone, especially the young crowd likes the fancy and the flashy. SV studies his craft to perfection.

    No matter how stupid interviewers are, Steve Vai is always a gentleman: kind and willing to answer to any of them as if it's the first time. "You're quite a busy man i guess" ... ... ...

    • @j_freed
      @j_freed 7 лет назад +1

      Yeah. If you are a good interview subject you listen for what would actually be a good answer, rather than be too much of a bitch about the question.
      Politicians do this when they don't like to answer directly. Entertainers do this to provide better content than the question alone permits.

  • @porkypie8714
    @porkypie8714 11 лет назад +2

    Stevie Vai is such a masterful guitarist. Not taking away from any great guitarist out there but Vai creates alot of instumental work. Not alot of air play but it's what he does. My guitar hero, Jeff Beck, paved the way for instrumental rock guitar. Beck could have joined a rock band and made a fortune but didn't want that. The Rolling Stones wanted Beck years ago.

Hes a role Model so is Vai I mean I think Vai is a little I should say Eccentric but you know what he deserves and has the right!! Most people dont realize but Steve when he is not touring he is writing full compositions for the greatest Orchastra/Symphony in The World Hes a composer of all instruments and damned good!! When it comes to theory hes a master!!! Probably the best!!
