I don't know who he is but one thing is certain. He has to be one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of the modern era. I've been playing drums for years and I can't even get close to his level much less be able to play an entire concert after that. Definitely top flight!
It's like Steve and Billy were born to play together. The greatest on the Bass and the greatest on the guitar. WOW !!!!! Steve Vai has a new solo album coming out this month if I'm not mistaken.
What makes Steve Vai amazing is not only his music but his stage performance and body language, this guy just fucking loves putting on shows and playing amazing music.
I have this DVD. Years ago I played this clip for some non-guitar friends. They flipped at the scene where they cross play each others axes. Plus, the mix is great on a big stereo.
@@johntimothypascual854 yep Tony Macalpine who appears in this video proves that fact, anyone can learn to play guitar while slaving monotonously and training but still may not have natural musical ability to make listenable and enjoyable music
@@juniorthornton3819 No such thing as talent, that implies you're born with ability. All ability is learned, it's not a debate. What we see Steve Vai doing is the result of tens of thousands of hours of focused and deliberate practice and training. To say he was born with the ability to play guitar is not only ridiculous but an insult to him. He earned his skills, he wasn't just lucky and born this way...
This took my breath away. I'm a guitarist, already a fan of Vai's and Sheehan's, and I've seen it all. Not saying I'm the greatest or anything. Just I've seen it all. This took my breath away, and I can't recall the last time a piece of guitar heavy music did that. They were on another level. I'm going to return to this performance a lot.
This is the type of musical upload that you'll look up & say to your kids come & watch this: " As This Is Real Talent " But alas not many of the youth I know either play an instrument or listen to music like i/we did... As long as us old timers keep playing music so it , at least gets , past on to the next generation then , I think , that all I can ask & I'll be happy to seeing music in all the various genres being played to fresh young ears as we can't let music to whither away a slow death... Yet another amazing show of musicianship/respect/knowledge of their craft & just loving what they are doing & we need more of this in such trying difficult times... In light of this still ongoing coronavirus stay safe and healthy wherever you are in this world... Respect & Love Slainte .....
Какие тембры Стив извлекает из гитары... Как чисто... Какая культура звука... Какой артистизм и единение с инструментом. Потрясающе и непревзойденно! Просто лучшее, что может быть. Космос!
The audience didn't match the energy. Its a one in a million performance happening in front of them and they're just standing there smiling. Lol steve really made the guitar cry. LEGEND
Steve is innovative in alot of aspects of music....I really like the Carvin amps....my first 4-12 cabinet was a carvin...sounded awesome and was more durable than a marshall that cost 3 times more...

Still watching this performance 20 years later!!!!
This is prime vai. So glad to have met this man many times. One cocky sob but you can see why!
On DVD 😅
With all these talented guitar players on state dont forget how the drummer sets a very solid foundation for all of them. This was fantastic.
I don't know who he is but one thing is certain. He has to be one of the quickest and cleanest drummers of the modern era. I've been playing drums for years and I can't even get close to his level much less be able to play an entire concert after that. Definitely top flight!
One of the most "hype vibe" Music performances ever. They were full throttle through every single second of the performance
When he starts and most of the crowd is just staring while the one Chick is GETTING IT gets me everytime.
i love seeing Billy Sheehan play with Steve. his over-the-top energy suits so well.
No joke. Him and Vai opening their set w/ SHY BOY for the 2001 G3 tour was massively amazing!
It's like Steve and Billy were born to play together. The greatest on the Bass and the greatest on the guitar. WOW !!!!!
Steve Vai has a new solo album coming out this month if I'm not mistaken.
God bless Tony MacAlpine, the half guitar keyboard man
He's really underrated 😔
@@losferjigglypuff7017 that's complete BS!
As good as vai
@@albertdavila6808 he's better...and he also can play piano like a god. Though, I've never heard him play on an acoustic/classical guitar
I love his music.
I still listen to The Edge of Insanity and Maximum Security. He's a bad ass. I think he came up through Mike Varney/Shrapnel Records
What makes Steve Vai amazing is not only his music but his stage performance and body language, this guy just fucking loves putting on shows and playing amazing music.
the same way as I loved Sykes!
And fucking OVERRATED! Mcalpine is equally great but underreported as FUCK!
I meant TM is underrated!
@One Two 🤣
He is utterly amazing.
I can't help but to smile *each and every time* I watch this. Unbelievably cool!!!!!!
0:13 drummer is just right in the pocket, powerful, precise, accurate without overdoing it.
I have this DVD. Years ago I played this clip for some non-guitar friends. They flipped at the scene where they cross play each others axes. Plus, the mix is great on a big stereo.
6:24,Tony McAlpine, How it's possible? Mind blowing!
Yeah he is multi-talented, legato one arm on fretboard then transitions and plays the whole tapping part on the keyboard. Insane talent.
i love the bass solo :)
3:30 that moment when your performance achieves such mastery that it travels back in time to inspire Mozart's favorite chord progressions
I don't know about everyone on stage, but Steve Vai and Tony MacAlpine are classically trained in music theory and composition
lol Tony can play Chopin with ease
@@antzooma Yep. Before he became known for his guitar skills, he was winning contests with his piano playing... including Chopin pieces.
They went full on classical crescendo right there! Fucking awesome!
I am truly in awe of Vai and his group. Truly as Yael said...8 minutes of heaven
steve's wind machine working extra hard
Some say it's his greatest fan.
The description perfectly sums up this video.
That’s a pretty sick drummer.
He's not only a excelent guitar player and composer. He's a fucking showman
if you've never seen this watch it!!! all the musicians are unreal!!! one of my favorite vids!!!
Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The amount energy they put on this is great for daytime performance
Can't explain how hard this song hit my cat and myself this music is more than wonderful
This is one of the most original things i've ever seen.
Not only is the guitar playing incredible but that drumming is really punchy & tight!
I keep coming back for the rock god facial expressions.
The song and the musicianship is pretty darn effin fantastically good too.
This was the performance that made me want to play, and very shortly after seeing it I got my first guitar! Thank you Steve!
Got to be born with talent to play if not you can't learn
@@juniorthornton3819 Cap, its also a skill that can be learn and sharpen, not only talented can play six strings🤨
@@johntimothypascual854 yep Tony Macalpine who appears in this video proves that fact, anyone can learn to play guitar while slaving monotonously and training but still may not have natural musical ability to make listenable and enjoyable music

Glad it inspired you. It made me want to quit because I'll never be able to play like this
I've never seen such a great guitarist. The groove feeling of this song is very fascinating
One of my all-time favorite performances by some of my favorite artists. I always come back to this video!
Steve is a Maverick
I have been returning to this video for over 10 years whenever I need some serotonin
Great lineup there... And just killing it. Brilliant
I've seen this drummer a few times. His name is Jeremy Colson. He's a Badass.
Drummer is KILLIN👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾! Oops, had to add to my comment! Everybody on that stage is KILLIN😷👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Just about all on the stage are incredible!
Blin Vai is alien.. blows my mind everytime
I reckon they’re all as good as each other. Never heard a bass played like that before either
Like it was yesterday... 😌 ... How I miss this lineups
What can i say?! Hmmm sound of excitement from exciting musicians,they are great isnt it?!!
All these guys are just killing it!
This is one of my top 5 guitar performances ever!
That guy's my favorite drummer, watch Steve's dvd from Minnesota with Anne Marie Calhoun, one of the greatest concerts ever.
This took my breath away. I'm a guitarist, already a fan of Vai's and Sheehan's, and I've seen it all. Not saying I'm the greatest or anything. Just I've seen it all. This took my breath away, and I can't recall the last time a piece of guitar heavy music did that. They were on another level. I'm going to return to this performance a lot.
Making weird noises with the whammy bar takes your breath away? 🤣
@@chrisking6695 No not the whammy bar. I said nothing of the sort. I too have Floyd Rose guitars. THE PLAYING.
Incredible.
BEYOND GREAT!
This G3 version of Vai back in 2000s is how I started to discover Tony MacAlpine. Amazing player of his own.
If this perform were in Brazil, the audience propably answered with crazy jumps and screaming as loud as the guitar cry!
Love me some VAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm here for Billy. The whole performance is great too.
Wow amazing
Incredible!
this keeps showing up in my feed. it's the one video i watch every single time it does.

Vai spielt mit Hirn und Herz. Ein Musiker, der als Teamplayer in Erscheinung tritt.
