Malmsteen and Vai together playing BLACK STAR on the same stage alive.....IS TOO MUCH for my heart. What a glorious moment for the guitar!
Literally AMAZING!
Fell the same my brother!!
Hell F'ing yeah 🤘❤️🔥
It’s the super hero movie we didn’t know we needed
From the looks of it, your heart is much safer than Yngwie's. That's what donuts will do to a man...
If you didn't go through your teens in the 80's I feel bad for you. Forget everything you know or were told. The 80's produced the most powerful live acts ever. These guys decimated arenas the world over. I miss that music scene. Nothing will ever come close. Ever.
You're entirely correct. So many great live bands came out of the 80's. Sadly, many of those great bands are nearing the end.
Maybe one thing, RAMMSTIEN.
The music industry killed all the personally made music of the musician and replaced it with their puppet music made by some underground evil empire that makes us sad and mean now days.
I miss the days of $25 general admission arena shows. How badly do you want front row kid?!? Even the cigarette smoke was cool because it made it impossible to detect who was smoking weed. Going to an arena show today pretty much sucks. Everything is way too expensive & the best seats get gobbled up by resellers with sophisticated software or given away to the corporate executives of whatever company owns the naming rights to the stadium. Don’t even get me started on That aspect of the industry…
@@YouthWillRise I seen Metallica at the late Civic Arena in Pittsburgh in the 80's and and had floor seats. The lights were still on and there were fold out chairs. It just so happened as soon as we entered the floor everyone pushed forward and said screw the seating. We ended up pretty close and it was cool.
Steve Vai maybe the one of very few ppl that Yngwie respect enough to play side by side with him
Yngwie and Steve have absolute respect for each other. Steve's choice of notes often confuses Yngwie, who is so used to classical harmony.
Tribe Shift Well...it confuses me to. 🤷🏻♂️
Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and Yngwie Malmsteen are definitely the best rock guitarists of the century
@@digitafutura6174 True. Plus Petrucci
@@julienmilioni9602 Plus Gilbert, instead of Petrucci.
Yngwei absolutely takes advantage and is so aggressive , Steve makes his guitar sing scream and cry simultaneously, what a combination to see. Pure perfection 🤘🏼
This is amazing that Yngwie shares a stage with someone other than himself!
He is far more expanded than that. Checkout his vids with clapton, Prince etc. I am not a fan of his but am learning. Great guitarist. Checkout Steve Via's son. Kid from Mexico. Steve put on a seminar down there, kid so good he now calls him his son. Lol.
Did it often. G3 for example.
😆
😂🤣
him and Vai have been good friends for over 30 years, Yngwie talks about it in his book..
2 of the greatest guitarist in the world standing side by side playing and epic legendary ballad together! Slaying those Metal Dragons!
What?! Not Hetfield and Hammett? 😆😅🤣😂
@@sportsfix6975 they aren't the best as in a fact bit if that's your opinion i respect that. Personally i find marty friedman and Jason becker the best duo
@@Arian_re15 Hetfield and Hammet trying to play together is atrocious! I was kidding...
You know even tho I think Vai is a goof, this was really good. Been memorized by yngvie for a while now, of course Vai is ridiculous too, but this duet was pretty sick
‘Stunned, Yngwie raised the bar for all of us’ said Steve Vai. It isn’t a competition, it’s an ‘experience’ watching two of the worlds greatest exponents having a blast with such control. There’s no harm in admiring and liking both of them, just smile 😎
th-cam.com/video/NSdtLooy5TA/w-d-xo.html
agreed love em both
Yeah but yngwie is better than Steve
Spot on...Steve is humble and respects other players for their talents and recognizes that he can't replicate what others do precisely.
@@mrg1247 they all copied Henry Purcell
Thinking about it 80/90's were an epic era. No one will ever live like we did during our childhood. Two giants. Long live to them.
They will live a different experience, with today’s virtuoso like Jason Richardson, Tim Hanson, etc. And that will be nice to!
Never really been an Yngwie fan so much. But when I watch him play, I am constantly in awe of the absolute mastery he has over the guitar. His playing is seemingly effortless.
I'm like that with him too.. his music is more or less awful.. but his ability to do it, to actually play the way he does, is the amazing part.
He's in another realm. Just shredding. It's a beautiful thing to watch.
If only he wasn't such a douche in person though. I was a fan until being in front of him and actual able to talk to him as a fan. Total Douchbag! Steve Vai on the other hand, not the same thing, got to meet him a few times over the years as well and he is always such a nice boy. One time I got to be in a room with Steve, Yngwie and Joe Satriani and those were good times!
@@heftosprod pff get your ears checked, he is who he is because of his playing and his compositions...what can we say about your career? are you as successful as him?
@@gsm2424 what's my career got to do with it? I think he's an amazing player, but I find his work, on the whole, to be a bit awful. It's amazing how much he's limited it too. But it's only my option. Nothing wrong with my ears. I can hear he's amazing at what he does. Next.
I cannot believe what I just saw and heard. These are the two masters and they played so well together. Big props to Yngwie for chilling out in his older age and playing so nicely with the other Master.
Yes, I agree--I really like that Yngwie has mellowed some too and it was a joy to see him and Steve play together. The two Masters both killing it-very cool! Loved their double lead playing as well!
No strings were harmed in the making of this shred
Although no strings were broken in the making of this video those strings will never be quite the same. 😎😷
in a world of imittators there's only one yngwie...love him or hate him...threres no one quite like him
Haha!
Lots of hair plugs and gallons of hair dye were used though....
@@rogerkoob9904 that is indeed true, his way of playing is pretty unique
I remember blowing friends minds when ' Rising force ' came out in the early 80s . I wore out that cassette 😳😂 . Nobody ever heard anything like it.
Same here. I recorded a radio show in 1984 where they played Black Star and Far Beyond the Sun. Totally wore that cassette out until the album came and then that vinyl was rekt.
Yeah it was a massive influence on my guitar playing , using the transcriptions by wolf(?) I thought yngwie was crazy brilliant
Some say Yngwie can't write songs, yet that album is full of songs 🤣 wtf is wrong with people. I love the first two albums best.
I got the CD. I think I played it at least 100 times. If I had the LP or cassette, I prob would have worn it out.
It started with Alcatraz. Hiroshima Mor Amore, such a raw album, Graham Bonnet just howling on vocals. And then HE showed up. Fucking wanted to chuck my guitars in a fire. Because after trying so hard to fathom Rhodes, this fucker shows up.
Both are the Alcatrazz guitarist..they respect and love each other..
Amazing
At 8:39 Yngwie plays a section from Alan Holdsworth's In the dead of Night. At 8:43 he looks at Steve Vai and smiles, thinking that Vai will recognise it, but Vai passes it by. It hurts my heart that Yngwie's smile to Vai was not reciprocated.
UKs in the dead of night.
Yes that's sad. Especially when Vai rates Holdsworth as the greatest.
LOL i noticed that too, yngwie left hanging then just rubs his face vai then plays a couple out of key notes over the next 30secs , vais lucky yngwie didnt unleash the fury !
@@Batsinthebelltower lmao vai was pushing hard to "keep up" while malmsteen was probably holding back his speed lmao
Unfortunately I've heard Vai "jam" with other guitar players and he doesn't hear them well.
when i was growing up i never thought i’d ever see these guys play together. incredible
they have played in g3
before
The freneticism of their thrusts was literally catching!
I’m with you on that… in my middle age and blessed I got to see this before 🪦
The generation axe tour was awesome. Gave Zakk a pat on the back during his crowd walk War Pigs solo.
When I was growing up I never thought about these guys playing together.
The real miracle is that these two were able to cooperate on harmonies.
Steve Vai is the kind of guy no one could dislike. And Yngwie is not as awful as people think. No one can understand what goes on in the mind of a genius like Yngwie Malmsteen. The countless hours he's had to dedicate to his instrument have robbed him of social finesse. Put yourself in his guitar strap: if you put enough time into your craft to play with that much technical skill.. it might make you mad at others becoming successful despite having only put a fraction of the time and effort in. 🤷♂️
The Rick Beato interview really sheds light on how nice of a guy he is @@DunamisSword
@@jrd3807 Now, yes. Before, not so much. Or maybe he just had a good day when that interview was done, and had bad days before. We all have our good and bad days.
When they both were sustaining that note... Yngwie checked the time on his watch, yawned pulled his hair back...FLAWLESS 'MAN!
I know,how did they do that? I can only get to 30 seconds when I try.
@@stephencraig8578 Reverb. Stacks and stacks of reverb.
@@roosh2927 got it thx
@@stephencraig8578 Via uses a sustainer pickup near the neck. It will sustain until you kill the note. He's been using them for quite a while. They work great. Expensive, but awesome 😎
@@FultonStreetBeats what about Yngwie?
It's always impressive to me when Yngwie plays something resembling his own music. Seeing them do the harmony bits was super impressive.
Two heavy weights going the distance... Love the way Steve smiles watching Yngwie shredding away... That was fantastic.. !!!
Vai couldn't play like Yngwie.
Yngwie couldn't play like Vai.
😁
I could say this or that, but honestly, this just makes my heart happy.
Yeah Stevie's right that during 80s malmsteen has elevated guitar playing and made every one roll their heads with the release of rising force album.
I have never smiled so much. I grew up idolising these legends, and to see this has totally made my day. And to think that Rolling Stone magazine couldn't find a spot for Yngwie in their top 250 guitarists list!
Both are top 20, IMO. Vai top 10.
Yngwie not in top 250 is ridiculous. Maybe he was off their scale?
Yngwie #1!
THIS IS REALLY GOOD...
THE FLAWLESS COORDINATION BETWEEN VAI AND
YMGWIE...LIVE, NO LESS...IS AWESOME.
Two of my favs guitar players, playing Black Star. Amazing jam!!!
That’s it ...
I’m burning my guitar 🎸🔥
Jimi would smile...😊
Me too
hahahaha
Badassssss. Two greatest guitar player in the world.
It's nice to see musicians of this caliber collaborating without the old 80s rhetoric of whose faster or better.
Kudos to the bass player for not having fallen asleep during this song...
He needs to level up! Gotta learn how to play the bass line for Van Halen's "Running with the Devil"....
It's almost like he's there to play for the song and entertain the crowd and not himself. He sucks.
@@reynoldspervis6136 Oooooh, so much sarcasm!
Unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact that this song is as lame as it can get for the other musicians to play.
The bassist here is a true hero, a professional. The arrangement he has to play, on the other hand, well... I don't have anything good to say about it.
@@DaviSiqueiraSilva You're right, and this just proves that not all heros wear capes. So brave.
One of the most ego driven guitarist by the side of the most humblest of guitarists. Funny how they complement each other.
They both had huge ego at one point( and rightfully so both are legends ) just one was able to get out of that mindset
@@nikhilsojin3002 Exactly, there is no man with this level of skill with no ego at some point. You must want to be the best in the World to be that good
@@borysmalinowski1139 Friedman, Becker and Kiko Loureiro never really had big egos
Lol these 2 have the highest ego in virtuoso plane! Love them both.
Good point. Whos older in age?
Every time I listen to Black Star, shivers run down my spine
My favorite Yngwie song. Vai made it 50% greater! amazing work. Just amazing. ✌✌
Going back at some virtuosso era...pagannini,Bethoven,Bach...Vivaldi....we are truly fortunated yo hear & see such great musical monsters!
not many people can keep up with yngwie well done
Keep up? Vai can play circles around Yngwie.
@@jonatankills Vai is an absolute genious but Yngwie is on the same level with him. And Yngwie is self-taught meanwhile Vai had Satriani as his master.
@@jonatankills Vai in Italian means "FAST".....the Italian guy for the WIN!!!
@@darthslater6077 Its definitely harder to play Yngwie,just the solo in Relentless alone is like why,and how the eff
When Vai went into Alcatraz its evident,Just watch Jet to Jet Yngwie live,then with Vai..
Either way love them both!!and have seen them both many times,Rock on dudes✌
@@justinhatvari9092 I respect and admire Yngwie a lot but to say that Yngwie is on the same level as Vai is just not true.
Yngwie is very one dimensional guitar player, dim scales, dim arpeggios, major/minor arpeggios, harmonic minor scale played fast and all in 4/4.
Whereas Vai played Zappa stuff when he was 19, Vai can duplicate Malmsteen, Malmsteen cannot duplicate Vai.
Also the old chestnut "Eugene`s trick bag" from the movie "Crossroad" is played by Vai.
Two living guitar gods. No arguments please!
This is my entire Teenaged Guitar related dreams come true. These two defined my desire to learn and play the guitar! Thanks guys for being so amazing! Just so good!
Do you play?
Me to brotha me too
Two GODS. Thunder and Lightning.
HOLY SHIT WHAT A VERSION !!!
My two favorite players. Very different players, too. So it's great to see them on a stage together playing an Yngwie classic. I think Steve understands Yngwie. Steve is just the nicest guy and I can see him extending Yngwie some grace and understanding regarding some of his "controversial" statements he's made about some other popular guitarists.
Most people can't imagine things from Yngwie's perspective...the freakish dedication to perfect his craft to the level he has....sure to make any man fill up with some disdain for those who put in half (or perhaps a smaller fraction) of the work he has.
It was beautiful to hear Yngwie refer to Steve as "my brother!" like that. Steve would be an awesome brother to have!
Just love the incredible music both of these guys make, everyone. Let the politics fall away. This level of art should be thoroughly appreciated for the gift that it truly is.
And let the egos and differences fall away. Differences divide and similarities unite 😊
Two monsters on the guitar!Respect you!
Just another day for these guys, jaw dropping amazement for the rest of us!
It generally angers me when people say yngwie has no feel.
Yngwie's playing is more saccaded, while Vai's is more flowy. In a star wars context, I'd imagine Yngwie with a MWC35-c and Vai with a lightsaber.
Yngwie has no feel :/
to donuts
Thats because they're morons.
Because they're morons who think that only Blues has fEeLiNg. Feelings and emotions come in different forms, ffs. Sorry that Yngwie's notes sound aggressive and powerful instead of weepy. SMH.
@@radoraf : i'd imagine Yngwie with Floyd Rose tremolo & Vai with Fender Stratocaster 😉
Steve’s tone is WAY on another level.
His feel, his use of the whammy and harmonics, those guys are as good as it gets but Vai is just beyond. He is a once in a lifetime talent and I feel lucky to have been alive and playing while he is in his prime so I can appreciate him. He has such a mastery of all facets of music, from being able to transcribe all Frank Zappa's solos at 17 to his instrumental triumphs of the '80s and '90s and every ensemble he puts together seems to top the last one. The word Guitar God it thrown around a lot but this guy is just miles above players like Zakk Wylde and even Yngwie and Nuno. Ah, if Randy had lived to see him on that stage too! I think he would have been as great himself, he had that feel and tone.
nope
I have seen these two at a G3 tour.
It's a great experience.....
Love Yngwie live. Joe, Steve and Yngwie together....it was fantastic.
Watching these two perform together makes my brain happy.
Steve has conquered multiple genres and Yngwie defined one. Seeing two of the best play off each other like this is incredible.
70s - 90s best time for music and performances ever in my opinion
Say what u want about Yngwie.. Love em or hate em..there is only one and Steve's right..when he hit the scene in the 80s even EVH was like...ooooh my,this guy is absolutely in a class n style of his own making
Sean lane was on another level even when compared to Malmstien.
I Love yngwie malmsteen & Steve vai since 1994
how have these 2 not written and recorded with each other? their styles totally complement each other and their skill... well...
This may sound strange to you, but there was 1 who recently passed on, he played a tune for the odd couple and never would have imagined, was Roy Clark, to mix that with Black star, these 2 magnificent artist, the country to rock!
Well to be honest, although they are both technical wizards, they both don’t know how to right something worth listening to for more than 3 minutes. It just gets boring after a while.
This is one of coolest things I have ever seen!
Just look at his picking hand. YJM's right hand is so friggin' tight! No wasted movement whatsoever. MAB is like that too. Amazing technique.
I simply love how much Via is enjoying the piece.... the two of them together is just phenomenal
This recording really shows just how differently these two greats actually are in playing styles... Definitely appreciate Vai's love of Yngwie's music though :)
Agree 100%. Goes to show there is more than one way to skin a cat.
I remember when yngwie came out. This was my favorite song of his. I saw him open for AC/DC Nashville 1985 🫡
I have the chills! Excellent playing by both of these gentlemen!
Amazing! We may never hear such innovative greatness again. Internet guitarists just do not do it for me. These guys here created this music. Vai and Malmsteen are both Maestros
Es impresionante escuchar a dos grandes leyendas de la guitarra,por Dios ésto es algo que vale la pena pagar para escuchar,ya no hay de éstos,son increíbles, espero que pronto vengan a la Argentina
este año viene yngwie a Argentina
@@valentinvillagra4774 ojalá venga ya no aguanto a elegante y esos cumbieros maleducados con letras de falopa todo el dia.El rock en Argentina está casi exterminado😭
It’s really cool to see these two shredding together. Even Vai’s playing compliments “Black Star” really well. And their two different tones sound awesome together!
Also nice so see Yngwie get a taste of sharing the stage.
Thank you so so so much for sharing this!!! I’ve seen them live together only once but saw Vai 3-4 times and have seen Y at least 10. He’s my favorite guitarist. This was very special. Adding to my favorites thanks again. #Goals
Black start always reminds me of a time in my life were things were great :)
Alcatrazz duo! They could play something like Jet to jet.
Oh yeah! Alcatrazz duo!
Excellent idea!
BLACK STAR JESUS CHRIST
Totally insane, I would literally cry if I saw this, there could have been lava flowing out from the drum riser and I wouldnt have gone anywhere
Love Yngwie or hate him it is effortless for him, Steve Via is pretty damn competent too. Two different styles both amazing.
"Pretty damn 'competent'?". Award for the understatement of the year.
Yngwie has said it in so many interviews through the years, that hi does his thing, "This is what I do. Like it or not." And no one has, so far done it better. Vai on the other hand is exploring all kind of music and styles and can raise any genre songs, disco-heavy metal. Both of them technically masters but different styles. Incredible together!
I want to thank Steve Easton for posting this gem. Awesome !
Little known fact:
Yngwie invented the duckface.
He also invented pick kicks
Watch jimmy page play at madison square garden....duck faces every solo
I think Chuck Berry would disagree.
🤣
So much emotions in one solo
I still think this is sorcery, These 2 playing together is magic!
I remember seeing this exact Duo in 2003. Except it was a Trio !
With none other then Joe Satriani...
Just imagine all 3 of them playing Black Star together. OMG Bad Ass I tell ya. The only thing that made that night better, was me an my brother had Vip meet n greet passes. So we actually met all 3 of these masters at once.
Unforgettable Experience !!!
😁🎸😁
That was freaking AWESOME.
80's music scenes better than other years
Two phenomenal musicians Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen ; his hearts and hands fill in virtuosism !!
2 guitar monsters together!!!!
They complement each other very well.
Music is not a competition. Music is a language. This two legend only shows that two language is being used to express wonderful music and experiences. This two are my heroes in music. Play while we live, Live while we play.
Wow! Yngwie and Vay - what a lovely tandem! They are like two brothers👍👍👍
The first time i heard black star, it was absolutely lifechanging for me.
I am glad to see malmsteen and vai performing this masterpiece!
Thanks for sharing,
Greetings from Germany, kreuzzer!
Hab heute zum ersten Mal dieses Lied gehört und vor 2tagen von Steve vai gehört vor 3 Tagen von malmsteen jetz sehe ich dieses Video habe und Gänsehaut habe die letzte Stunde verbracht es mir 5 mal an zu schauen …..kein Spaß krankes rabbit hole
THIS IS FANTASTIC! Two legends onstage playing an iconic Malmsteen track together. Malmsteen & Vai \m/
its how it should be.
No words to describe how they flow with melody... It's just incredible
now I'm in agood mood again
Both of these Guys have been to the Crossroads. Unreal Performance!!!!!!
Vai proved himself more than worthy to share the stage with the guitar god. Vai went outside and beyond this dimension to reel in several of those stunts, left Malmsteen without a worthy Comeback. Malmsteens knowledge of music theory, his shifty antics, and his lightning speed coupled with Vai's otherworldly, dimensional warping creativity were epic encounters, pressing the envelope and transforming the ever evolving mastery of the guitar, the grail of rock music, of steel, of mind over sound, and into the threshold of spirit revelation.
Vais whammy bar is built for extraordinary feats. A strat can't do that .
Yngwie tone is just so beautiful.
Considering Vai isn’t really into neo-classical he’s pretty good at it.
He used to be in alcatrazz. They were power metal with neoclassical solos. So yeah he did like it in the early 80s
My man, watch Crossroads. Steve Vai did every classical solo in that movie. Heck just look up "Steve Vai Crossroads" on youtube. I get what you are saying though, he doesn't play like that on his solo stuff.
@@DL.A could play that when i was 14.
@@sotirzvanidjubre4109 ok
You Don’t have to. Play fast to to be great guitar player. Steve vai Can play
For me Malmsteen always in first place, but......... Vai is my guitar hero too !!! Two classics of the instrument that we have the honor to be part of this genaration !
Life is good!
I was a teenager in 60's and didn't miss a thing.
9:38 Fantastic! One and only Mr. Vai.
Amazing, both! I love Yngwie playing, his right hand is so amazing, and Steve whammy control Is out of this world.
This is incredible! People CAN'T THIS .... 💝💝 Thank you, dear author for posting 💙💛✌
One of the GREATEST performances of all time! Malmsteen and Vai on the same page? Unf**ken believable!
5:40 for a while is such a day brightner...
Holy frik...two childhood heroes. My 2023 is complete...
Ok now I also wish (dream) to see yngwie play Steve's stuff like tender surrender, building a church or anything from Steve
Universal Manofhonor my dream was them playing black start together
Ynwgie doesn't have a Floyd Rose 😜
I was in my teens and twenties in the 80s and in a rock band that played up and down the east coast. Vai and Malmsteen were always two of the very best. These guys shredded it up...I knew my fair share of very good metal guitarists, but these 2 were at another level. I miss the 80s.
This just makes me smile !
That endless sustain section was so awesome and BADASS! Reminded me of the Michael Jackson Super Bowl performance when he just stood there and the crowd went into a total frenzy.
Their old G3 concert is a keeper from Denver.
DVD of that show is indeed phenomenal. And the audio CD from the Uptown Theater in Kansas City the next night is also fantastic (bit biased as I was there 😀) with the final improv jams going in way different directions than the Denver show.
Great to see these two blow it up, but OG Black Star studio version is legend
Acho que existe um guitarrista que o Mslmsteem respeita: o Steve Vai!
2 of the greatest when I grew up , Steve Vai showing what it's like to be humble . .
