When I listen to such crazy masterpieces, crazy performances, and when I listen to music these days, there are only one-size-fits-all drum and bass, and electronic music, it seems that humanity is going backwards. "Steve vai" is the god of guitar, no matter what.
The violins in this song added a whole new dimension to it. I was privileged to see them do it live on this tour. It literally almost made me cry it was so beautiful.
The crowd doesn't move much....they just want to absorb each note and pay attention. One of the reasons I love Steve Vai is his simplicity as a human being.
Started playing guitar back in 2011 my mom had this song as a ringtone on her cell phone and in 2013 we saw that Steve Vai is touring and had a concert in my country we rushed to buy tickets that was my very first concert that I went to I was like 11 years old at the time And I fell in love with Vai’s music and his guitar the JEM I am now 21 years old and a proud owner of an Ibanez JEM Steve vai’s signature guitar My favorite part about in this masterpiece is 4:45 still gives me goosebumps till this day
By far the most beautiful melody and most breathtaking guitar solo I've ever heard in my 50 years of living and 38 years of playing. Still, there are parts in this solo that haunt me as to how Steve came up with them. I could sit and drill this man with questions for days. About music, guitar, and life. He is THE BAR.
Of all his live shows, this one is my favorite. It's elegantly produced, not over stated and every member's talents are showcased so well. It's a masterpiece.
At 3:55 he just goes OFF and displays why he is known as one of the best. The way he moves from his whammy hits to keeping the same rhythm as he moves up the neck is amazing. The flourishes afterwards can only be accomplished by the long fingers he displays during this powerful crescendo.
An easy SV method. His vibrato is accomplished by using his finger to draw dime-sized circles. Not just wiggling up/down or left/right. It's why he has such a signature vibrato. Keep going man and repost in time. Rooting for you.
My favorite part is the look on his face, when he realizes how magnificent each note he's hitting sounds, because its just so unique to what anyone has done on guitar before
My ears heard it, my eyes saw it, but i still cant describe it. Is this what it sounds like when angels sing?! I thank you- all of you- for using the gift of immense talent that God has given you to lift our spirits!
"Everyone knows this song too well...we're gonna do this instead!" Mr. Vai (and company) Thanks for the enjoyment, the inspiration and the autograph and selfie at NaMM!
Steve doesn't play the guitar he is the guitar it's like it becomes an extension of himself the guitar allows him to express the language of music through his heart and soul. Steve is a guitar God
The violin with the electric guitar adds to the guitar. It adds antiquity, modernism and now moments. It add dimension to the sound. Futuristic included. It's an epic in a lot of ways, of the Journey back to God. Full of drama as it is intense realistic drama. Such a great song ❤🌹
Should be "For the love of Steve"! Gotta love him for his play and for his featuring new artist and let 'em stand in the light. Great player, great man, period!
He never ceases to amaze me. I've heard this song a thousand times, on cassettes, CDs, TV and tons of videos, and it never gets old! This is the first one I've seen with the violinist though. It's just phenomenal! I like the one with the orchestra, as well.
This is such a beautiful song. it takes me places. My BF could play this so beautifully, I always wanted him to play it for me. RIP Jessie Lee Monroe 🎶🎵🎼🎸🎤😢💔💖💔💖💔
Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are the DaVincis and Einsteins of our time. It's an amazing time for music, it has been since these guys started their careers. I'm so glad to have witnessed their Awh and inspiring excellence and significance. Bravo!
Back in 2011, on a new year night..me and my friend are wishing each other happy new year. And we played this song ,as the song to welcome the new Year 2011. But sadly after a few months. My friend left the Earth. This song always bring back the memories. And yes. Its his fav musical piece too. I miss you Erich. 1994 to 2011
People Steve Vai called the future of guitar: Plini of the band Plini Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders Tim Henson of Polyphia All guitarists of Periphery Seriously, check them out. They're not like Vai live, but damn do they make your face melt in astonishment and cry out in beauty just the same when it comes to the studio. Especially Plini and Abasi... Sometimes your brain just can't process how they performed a certain passage or wrote a certain melody... It's powerful stuff.
Not a big fan of his style of music, but he is incredible at what he does and is one of the most unique and original guitarists ever. His technique is incredible, an In a day when all the shredders kind of sound the same, Steve does not. When you hear Vai, you KNOW it's Vai.
Quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez não conseguia mais parar de escutar Uma verdadeira inspiração divina…segundo reza lenda ele fez jejum de 4 dias antes de compor essa música 🎵
Essa lenda é fake kkk ele já disse como compôs em um vídeo, ele sentia essa música em sua mente e aos poucos ele foi passando para a guitarra esses sons e melodias até que saiu essa obra prima! Ele diz isso no vídeo que ele ensina a tocar essa musica
Walking a fine line between pagan and Christian .....and tasteful and musical masturbation. I’d say it’s both and either way the best instrumental I’ve ever heard.
Steve Vai makes me feel like I can fly around freely...no wings attached ..like in a dream..this song is so inspirational through its rythm..the beat and the melody....pure music..thx Steve!!
Every time I listen to this, I fell some kind of goosebumps shocks swiping through my body. I believe even for Vai this song is like a spiritual experience.
The guitar is literally singing......
im high af and thinking the same
สุดยอดมากครับพมชอบที่สุด
On a masterclass Steve vai said he originaly sang the solo part in his head while he was playing the chords parts
maybe, steve love this song from 70's rock band from philippines. listen the chorus part of this song
th-cam.com/video/j4Oq41IsWp8/w-d-xo.html
причем нехило, блять
5:18 We all just gonna ignore her shredding a freaking violin and harmonizing with Steve Vai at the same time
That girl is super amazing
Super amazing🤩
Lol, as a fan of a few japanese metal bands i see and hear those violin and guitar shredding/harmonies most of the time
@@christiangabo6430 - she sure can play as well!!!
I couldn’t ignore how hot she was though….
4:15 steve himself cant believe how awesome he is
Great observation there XD
Also 4:08 He looks like his mortal body can't handle his god-like abilities...
Giiggle q
HAhahaha 4:23 - "OMG, did you see that? Oh, my God, look what I did again! Man, what am I doing?!"
You idiot he was turning into super saiyan 3.
i got chills when that violin started playing
Then look at this, you'll love it: th-cam.com/video/l5AQvPCPjwc/w-d-xo.html
True.it feels like they are making love when Steve starts to join the melody with her.
shes beautiful
Do tell...😂
Beautiful and playing with passion ❤️
I must have watched this a thousand times. Absolute heaven
Watched this an unbelivable amount of times, Steve is the best living guitarist without a doubt
He's so good that he makes me sick lol
Agreed
This video shows that how crazy steve vai is for music. I love you steve vai and thanks for your priceless music. The world loves you.
When I listen to such crazy masterpieces, crazy performances, and when I listen to music these days, there are only one-size-fits-all drum and bass, and electronic music, it seems that humanity is going backwards. "Steve vai" is the god of guitar, no matter what.
The violins in the band totally changed the dynamics of many of the songs.
He dosen't 'play' the guitar. He extracts the pure essence of music out of it.
The violins in this song added a whole new dimension to it. I was privileged to see them do it live on this tour. It literally almost made me cry it was so beautiful.
steve dosent make songs, he composes masterpieces. and the lady playing the violin..... just respect to all the members here 🤘
I’ve watched this video probably over 50 times throughout the last 5 years or so and it is truly a perfect performance, this should be in a museum
The crowd doesn't move much....they just want to absorb each note and pay attention. One of the reasons I love Steve Vai is his simplicity as a human being.
Yes u are right...
As I would like YOU to see this song of mine ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS, it would be very GOOD for everyone to see this song about Forgiveness.

I think there's more than a couple who think they're having flashbacks from the Zappa days.
see the difference? no one is with his fucking cellphone, that's what i call a good audience
That was in 2007 .___.
.....
the audience is listening.
no, they slept!

And I fell in love with Vai’s music and his guitar the JEM I am now 21 years old and a proud owner of an Ibanez JEM Steve vai’s signature guitar

He is THE BAR.
I heard that Steve fasted for several days to create this song. Surely this song was spiritually inspired.
His wife will never know the way he makes love to that guitar.
+Kevin Kraft lmao
wrong assumption.
Les Claypool, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai [their wives / GFs are the happiest women alive]
@@EsteBandido_YT got my self a nother primus fan
Les is god
u now have the big gay He slap dat ass like he slap dat bass
@@unowhavethebiggay1430 pssh primus sucks!
Steve Vai gets so connected with his music......i can feel it...legend!!
My goodness no one can beat this guy. I guess, he's amazing.😎😆😉
roflmao
after all these years,
this song still gives me that "journey of the lost soul" feel.
Of all his live shows, this one is my favorite. It's elegantly produced, not over stated and every member's talents are showcased so well. It's a masterpiece.
จริงที่สุด
This is not just masterful playing, that guitar was fucked 6 ways from Sunday. She walked like a cowboy afterwards.
I think the guitar is dead now from that serious rape near the end
***** No kidding, Vai is an absolute monster, with every note having feels for decades.
some say the guitar cried for 20 weeks before it was playable once again..
People say Steve fingered a girl 17 years ago. She's still having orgasms to this day.
Thank you for the EARGASM Steve! Rock On!
At 3:55 he just goes OFF and displays why he is known as one of the best. The way he moves from his whammy hits to keeping the same rhythm as he moves up the neck is amazing. The flourishes afterwards can only be accomplished by the long fingers he displays during this powerful crescendo.
"the long fingers he displays during this powerful crescendo," your weird bro🤣
@@antsinyourpants4095 Some of the best players of music have good LONG fingers. It IS weird, but his fingers ARE long.
4:01 will forever be my favorite part
Brazil loves you Steve. God loves you, Jesus loves you, the world loves you! Awesome, thank you!
Amém 🙌 2021, june.
that Fernandes sustainer doing it's job in the end haha... gotta love it
I watch steve vai video at least once a month to remind me what it looks like see someone a human with god skills.
I cant believe who i discover this today.
Omg tons of tears fall.
wow did she just shred on a violin? for the love of god!
Shred guitar was inspired by old orchestral music.
Who's name that girl?
Mary Simpson@@mufidilhamputrawisuda4479
Honestly Vai’s playing can almost bring a tear to my eye it’s so beautiful
Fun fact: The fan isnt plugged in, his hair is just naturally that majestic whenever he plays
Thr is a fan on the back of the monitor, check it.

That's epic dude gotta try that. Great observation man
I love how the fretless bassist feels the octave so much. this truly is the greatest example of musical "Feel" you can find out there.
Steve Vai is definitely the one of the best guitarists of his generation, and possibly all time.
In what reality ? This is possibly the most horrible sound to ever come out of an amplifier
@@AcousticOlli Never said he couldn't play he obviously can play the sound is very important and it is horrible
@@mauro100
Didn't say he's the best....
Joe satriani and Eddie van Halen invented the tapping technique well Eddie van Halen did it first . Everybody else just copied Eddie .
Bruh Steve Vai is not an EVH clone…
My favorite part is the look on his face, when he realizes how magnificent each note he's hitting sounds, because its just so unique to what anyone has done on guitar before
Vai, his Magic Carpet, Flo, the violinist; it all fits together. What a great performance.
I mean really.....how much better can he make this song? So great!!
Uns dos solos de guitarra mais lindo que ouvi na minha opinião.
Steve Vai é um mito.🇧🇷🎸
My ears heard it, my eyes saw it, but i still cant describe it. Is this what it sounds like when angels sing?! I thank you- all of you- for using the gift of immense talent that God has given you to lift our spirits!

One of the most beautiful pieces ever written ... ever!!!
La mejor versión q he escuchado en los últimos 10 años, una melodía espléndida....suave....fuerte....estremecedor.
I could listen to this for days and days. One of the most beautiful instrumental songs ever written or played.
2:29 that face tho, he had a good time
That intro where the violin started gave me goosebumps. This song never fails to amaze me every time i hear it.
I agree, I have listen to this song a billion times. It really take me up to the heavens. And the violin also brought tears of joy.
Everytime I hear this I get goosebumps
This is such a beautiful song. it takes me places. My BF could play this so beautifully, I always wanted him to play it for me. RIP Jessie Lee Monroe 🎶🎵🎼🎸🎤😢💔💖💔💖💔

Hello, how are you doing? It is nice seeing you here.
This is the only artist who can make me cry without doing anything. Amazing
this is a very very very beautiful piece of music.
And on the 8th day, God created Steve Vai and he saw that it was good!
This video should be called: "Steve Vai walked on stage with a guitar and then THIS happened" and "Watch till the end" ;)
My tears keep falling whenever i listen to this song. Amazing Performance!
2023 - Still the best song, best guitarist, best year. God Bless.
Maybe not the #1 best, but for sure up there 100%
I was fortunate to see Steve live in NJ, love you man . .this song is my meditation and prayer
Back in 2011, on a new year night..me and my friend are wishing each other happy new year. And we played this song ,as the song to welcome the new Year 2011. But sadly after a few months.
My friend left the Earth.
This song always bring back the memories.
And yes. Its his fav musical piece too.

1994 to 2011
This man is greatest musician I've ever laid eyes on and this song is the most beautiful creation in the entire universe I don't care if you disagree.
People Steve Vai called the future of guitar:
Plini of the band Plini
Tosin Abasi of Animals as Leaders
Tim Henson of Polyphia
All guitarists of Periphery
Seriously, check them out. They're not like Vai live, but damn do they make your face melt in astonishment and cry out in beauty just the same when it comes to the studio.

So much passion, feeling and absolute love for his instrument.. It's truly inspiring!
Love how his hair flies at 2:07. You can feel the power of this music :D
correct
Best rendition of this amazing song I have ever heard.
A truly incredible musician. He hasn't lost any of his technique or ability with age...just amazing.
My favorite Vai song. Next to whispering a prayer and tender surrender.
No doubt this piece means alot to Steve.
Best guitar instrumental of all time
Love it till this day OMG! Steve is just the living legend ❤💓👌
When you watch a Vai concert its not a Rock Concert... its just a really REALLY kickass orchestra
Even in 2020 Steve Vai and his music is fantastic I have been listening to him for a long while
His music will still be fantastic in 3020
The duel with the violin ...literal goosebumps!!
Ive seen a lot of live performances of For The Love Of God, and this one is by far my favorite.
Probably his best composition, sublime ☘
Um dos melhores solos que vi na vida
I'm an Athiest, and I love this song 🎵
I've always loved this song because it gives me goosebumps every time.
Vai is a effing master. 🔥
Walking a fine line between pagan and Christian .....and tasteful and musical masturbation. I’d say it’s both and either way the best instrumental I’ve ever heard.

Extraordinary powerful and soulful... Steve's guitar says more than words

Steve alone himself is enough for that stage.
My Favorite Steve Vai song. So much emotion in it for me.AWESOME!!!
