People can hate but when you hear talent like this you its what this person w as meant to do. I'm a fan of rnb and I sing but real recognize real. Some of the chords and transitions... good lord.
WOW.....SOMEONE MADE THE REMARK, THAT STEVE'S A SHOW OFF. LOL. YOU DO REALIZE IT'S SHOW BUSINESS. YOU GOTTA BRING IT ALIVE AND NOT BE A BORE. TO EACH HIS OWN. FROM A VAI FAN. PEACE!
6.38 ish is flurries of notes and takes playing a stringed instrument past what exact notes that are being played,very impressive technique and and craftsmanship,takes a lot of time and a mad amount of devotion to be able to reach the level of proficiency required.Its like some virtuosos go outside without jackets.
Say whatever you want, the fact is: The guy knows how to play guitar, love him or hate him thats up to you. Of one thing I'm pretty damn sure, 78.6% of the people that criticize or hate him are not able to play like him, doesn't know more than 2 scales, doesn't go beyond those same 3 or 4 power chords they use over and over and etc.I don't understand why so much hatred, if you don't like this what are you doing here in first place? better go back to your poppy senseless radio songs you actually like to hear, and leave this to people who really appreciate a real good guitar player.
and ur criticizing 78.6 %that are probably better than you... Its called an opinion. U shared and now i will. POPPY? Lol whatever you say man. You need to be educated.. One word... Polyphia
but nastiness for its own sake isn't really an opinion. Polite disagreement is always acceptable - but why some internet warriors have to charge in and denigrate those who have different opinions is, frankly, a disturbing development in society today. No wonder we have wars on a larger scale
Some guff talked below on this thread .. jeezzz only one of the most musical players ever put on this earth never mind the incredible compositions and ability to imagine things that nobody would even dream of .. every note counts with this guy , really dont know what some of you are hearing ?????
Dudes are jealous. Saw a bunch of comments saying he was "too clean" and "too precise" and using that as a criticism. When you're so amazing that people need to hear you fuck up before they think you're human, I'm pretty sure that's pretty high praise, lol I'll readily admit that watching him fills me with jealous rage, but I definitely won't delude myself by criticizing examples of amazing musicianship just to make myself feel better.
My son in law Turner told me about Steve..... Listens to him and my god ...I see why turner picked up the guitar.... A bad ass on the guitar..... Amazing job !!!
That's the thing, the part in the movie that was "played" on the Telecaster was not even played on Telecaster. A Telecaster has 21 frets, this piece uses 22 frets. :)
In an interview, Steve played ALL of the parts, every single one of them between them in the duo. He said it was harder for the audience to understand that, and he always gets asked that question. He took the time to make them a tad different and cool. Steve doesn't get enough credit for being as diverse as he really is...even now.
I've heard some people say his style is a too flashy, but it's not. He actually is that good. Steve has full control sailing across the frets at 100mph, not just improvised poseur fluff that sounds cool. Speed is nothing without control.
If they are discouraged then they cannot do. If they see this and want to do better then they are the people than will create music in the years to come.
One time there was some problem with Mike's tour bus or something, he was on tour for some new age type college in Fla. that I forget the name of. Anyway he ended up at a bar in my old town doing an unadvertised show. The next night it was advertised and it was packed. There was some girl with them calling herself Arete, I think it was. The first night I was able to corner him and pick his mind a little bit about how he plays. It was very interesting.
i agree overdrive..i LOVE vai..and once in a while i get in the mood to listen to him..especially his newer stuff with the symphony (visual sound theories) BUT id rather listen to satch or eric johnson
Ry cooder played the slide guitar parts - all other guitar was played by Vai...including the classical. This is pretty well documented and hard to argue otherwise
His sound is so compressed. The Crossroads tone was much more alive sounding. More transparent I think. Seems like most of the JEM's sound like that, very compressed.
steve is still 1 of the best players that blow my mind ever time
I've never seen Vai do that live before, awesome footage, I have been playing it for years, that was such a treat! !
Fake !
Gosto muito desse vídeo. Acho o Steve Vai, muito humilde.
Dude is a wizard!!!! Steve is one of the reasons I picked up a guitar. When I saw Jack Butler play as a kid I was mesmerized.
Incredible performance! Haters gonna hate.
Aqui no Brasil poderíamos ter esse tipo de show! Deve ser um sonho frequentar show assim... :(
Up

Outstanding version of the duel in the Crossroads movie. Loved it!
Is that Mike Keneally? he's a monster too. They play off each other so well.
WOW.....SOMEONE MADE THE REMARK, THAT STEVE'S A SHOW OFF.
LOL. YOU DO REALIZE IT'S SHOW BUSINESS. YOU GOTTA BRING IT ALIVE AND NOT BE A BORE. TO EACH HIS OWN. FROM A VAI FAN. PEACE!
That shows how good of a showman (great actor ) he is ..
Anybody with kind of ability would be a showoff. I know I would ! 😜
The end of this makes me smile every time.
Love that movie. freakin' awesome scene at the end. Rock on Vai!
Ol steve was so good in that movie. Perfect for that part
Dois gênios da guitarra. Não tenho palavras. Fantástico.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for posting! Classics never die!

Eddie Marr Agreed, that was flat out amazing technique! I can never even approach that level in my lifetime. He's like a machine!
Estive vai é o melhor,esse cara não é daqui,é um alien esse mano,the best .Brasil ama estive

Steve still amazes me!!!!!!
Nice seeing two Zappa alumni playing together like this :)
Great to see more video of Mike Keneally having fun with Vai❤
Раньше не попадалось на глаза.
Спасибо!

I have seen steve, and met him a number of times over the years. he is one of the best ever. mike aint too bad either
What a LOT of fun that was.
just amazing!!!
My son in law Turner told me about Steve..... Listens to him and my god ...I see why turner picked up the guitar.... A bad ass on the guitar..... Amazing job !!!
Amo o trabalho do Steve vai
Sounds great but shouldn't the other guy have a Tele? lol
That's just cruel x)
I know the movie,it's just that playing that on a Tele is much harder than on a Jem
That's the thing, the part in the movie that was "played" on the Telecaster was not even played on Telecaster. A Telecaster has 21 frets, this piece uses 22 frets. :)
TheSkipjack95 Yeah.. and in Jaws they didn't use a real shark.
Not the old ones made in the 80s.
Amazing!!!
the gods have clashed and we have witnessed what is possibly the greatest guitar playing of the world....
Steve Vai and Mike Keneally. Both gods in their own rights. Fuck Yeah
Steve Vai is it period.
Mike Keneally can only hold a match to the great Steve Vai🔥🎸🎶
Amazing! Never see this before!!!
Love the cheesiness of this :D
I wish he would go back to this style!
6:04 this part
Starts sounding like Dave Mustaine, haha.
LOVE Vai's tone!
They didnt play the clean arpeggio section! Its like the best part of the entire duel......
indeed. did steve played that part? ..
Claudio Cruzat
I think so
In an interview, Steve played ALL of the parts, every single one of them between them in the duo. He said it was harder for the audience to understand that, and he always gets asked that question. He took the time to make them a tad different and cool. Steve doesn't get enough credit for being as diverse as he really is...even now.
@@claudiocruzat4768 Bill Kanengiser
@@claudiocruzat4768 Bill Kanengiser played it
I here Train Kept A Rollin' in my mind listening that
Steve Vai, always a joy to hear/watch. Shame the vid is such low quality.
I've heard some people say his style is a too flashy, but it's not. He actually is that good. Steve has full control sailing across the frets at 100mph, not just improvised poseur fluff that sounds cool. Speed is nothing without control.
Crossroads is such a cool flick. Steve Vai played both parts, his and Ralph Macchio's. Ry Cooder scored the film.
Awesome! !!
Amo o jeito que eles erram, fazem parte do show!!!
que buen show, excelente!
Steve Vai could never be defeated in a guitar battle. NEVER EVER!
Super!
iNCREIBLE
Discourages a lot of up & coming boys!
If they are discouraged then they cannot do. If they see this and want to do better then they are the people than will create music in the years to come.
TheOnlyWayIsMetal
you didn't get the reference.
Just rented the movie again for $3.99
Still holds up. Love it
Awesomeness
Missing one Ry Cooder.
and Bill kanengiser
와 내한 공연때 영상이었구나 ㅠㅠㅠㅠ 감격
Exelent musician
One time there was some problem with Mike's tour bus or something, he was on tour for some new age type college in Fla. that I forget the name of. Anyway he ended up at a bar in my old town doing an unadvertised show. The next night it was advertised and it was packed. There was some girl with them calling herself Arete, I think it was.
The first night I was able to corner him and pick his mind a little bit about how he plays. It was very interesting.
Very Cool
Steve vai. Virtuoso.
Epic re-enactment!
thats some killer licks there
theyre having so much fun fooling around lol
Every piece of his set is planned
In rehearsal and no one is better,
There is no more greater knowledge
Than via, and is very giveing
There are times when it sounds like spiders dodging laser beams. Incredible musicianship.
Sou fã de carteirinha
Is this HD? Looks so good! The picture is outstanding!
Uuuu - youre so tough sitting begind a keyboard...uuuuu
Man -youre so mature its incredible!
SpaceAdvocate Take gum and chew slowly
Hahaha
Im your neighbour :-)
Chosen one!!🤘🏻😜
superb
Living Legends, Stupendous...Who was the other kat plying the axe, I know for sure that was not me....
Mike Keneally
awesome
I saw the Australian leg of this tour. Awe-balls.
We're not worthy. We're not worthy. We're not worthy.
Love that passage from 1:14-1:21
@ 7:00 WoW!
Steve Vai is the reason I picked up a guitar...
Muhammad Hayes Eric Johnson is the reason I picked up guitar
Me too
Same! That movie made me want to lear blues!
He is the reason why I didn't. :-D
Syu from Galneryus is my reason.
i agree overdrive..i LOVE vai..and once in a while i get in the mood to listen to him..especially his newer stuff with the symphony (visual sound theories) BUT id rather listen to satch or eric johnson
GENIAL
Love the way Steve never ever plays one single blues riff.
You must not know the catalogue a lot of it is.
Jack Butler's gonna like you...
Nice
wow
looks like live in Korea 1999
and??
+Jong Min Lim who cares :D
Josh Carter a
so the fucking devil can play that riff after all. fuck. took me 30 years to see this
Nice!
They missed the badass Ry Cooder slide opener and didn't do the arpeggio part. Best parts of the whole thing.
que copado, esto no lo había visto nunca, en que país fue?
2:58
korea del sur
Argentina , obras sanitarias
mike always looked like an accountant that had had a nervous breakdown and wandered into fancy dress shop.
There was a comment earlier about the karate kid playing better, actually steve rai played both audio parts of the duel on the movie crossroads.
Actually it was a man named Arlen Roth who played Ralphs guitar. He was the actors guitar tutor and this duel was composed by him, Vai and Ry Cooder.
Robert Malo ah? I always thought it was Cooder himself who played it.....
Ojoe2010 I thought Cooder played it too
Ry cooder played the slide guitar parts - all other guitar was played by Vai...including the classical. This is pretty well documented and hard to argue otherwise
+Rational Agenda Right on, that's what I thought.
This was hilarious
wow wow wow
🤘
class
His sound is so compressed. The Crossroads tone was much more alive sounding. More transparent I think. Seems like most of the JEM's sound like that, very compressed.
Finalmente Vai logró tocar el final!!!
I’d love to see Mike Kneelley really open up on Steve!
he shud play more of this in his concerts
If I didn't see this,mi wouldn't think it possible. He is ridiculous
Vai so droll.......
kick ass!
Very funny. Steve VAI legend
