Thank you! I try to bring a good attitude to life every day, it's a conscious choice I make. It feels extremely good!!! Always a huge learning experience
Dude. Two hours ago I was watching you play with Steve in Bulgaria. Your energy on stage was incredibly contagious and I grabbed the pick you threw in the end. Your playing was superb man. Hope to see more of you, man. Really enjoyed the show.
Just met this amazing artist in Cincinnati during the vai/satriani USA tour. We talked about keyboards and guitars after the show, and I found that his character is just as spot on as his musical talent… his advice: Stay humble and stay hungry!!
I saw you last night in Athens, Dante!! You killed it dude, congrats on living the dream!!! In one month you came from playing the sitar to playing the full set!! That, to me, is insane! Some back story maybe on that?? Huge congratulations, all love from Greece!
Thank you so much! I’m having a blast 😁 When Dave left the band, he recommended me to Steve, and Steve upgraded me to the spot. I had learned most of the set by that time, so jumping in happened smoothly.
There's something in your look that looks like Stevie ! That's so strange ! This little light which expresses the passion and excitement to play ! I don't know E Minor 9 😅 apart from the fact that it's situated on the second ottavio i believe... (From my readings of Vaideology 🤩)
I saw you guys in Zagreb couple of days ago. Show was awesome and the sound was perfect 🔥 I'm curious about your (I guess) custom guitar that you play on. I know you have white,red and a black one. It kind of reminds me of Relish Guitars. Keep living the dream 🤟🤘 edit: In Zagreb , I''ve also noticed huge love between you and your sound engineer😆🤣
As somebody who is backing a famous musician... I got over the "pinch me, I'm playing next to so-and-so" in about a month. It's cool, but ultimately you realize they're just human and they make mistakes and not god-like as you always thought...
It's definitely a unique experience. I think seeing how they operate as real humans on a friend/co-worker level is where I've learned the most about what it takes to reach that level
Its definitely just the beginning Dante, and playing to 5 to 10 people in a room are the challenges that open up to the bigger opportunities. Enjoy Europe and I will see you, Carlos and the crew in Munich!
@Dante Frisiello did indeed Dante. I was with Fire on the Merch when he decided to impale himself on a small piece of wood on the table. Looked painful. Hope your family had a great time too at the gig
It is important that we show respect and dignity towards the deceased and their families. Filming on cemeteries in Europe is therefore inappropriate and should be avoided. I appreciate the content of the TH-camr, but it is important that he knows his boundaries and respects people's privacy.
It was a public park, people were walking all around the area, taking pictures, sitting in benches and having coffee and stuff. I only film where it feels appropriate! Here it felt fine to me, based on how the people there were.
That must be such a great thing to happen , playing on stage with Steve . You have a great attitude and all the best to you !

3:56 - I like the deliberate mistake in the spelling of 'opportunities'! It's a great motivational message - thank you!
Glad you feel the energy my friend!
I remember you playing sitar at Vai Academy! It sounded great, man!
Thanks man! Hopefully there will be another one someday where there will be lots more playing than just that!

Thank you! It’s the Italian expression maybe :) and the passion and love!
@@DanteFrisiello For sure ! ☺
I mean situated after the eighth of Ottavio. :)

Absolutely!! Hey we just played there, that was an awesome show, hope we were able to say hello and that you enjoyed it!

Hi Dante, you've probably been told this before, but you're physically a lot like the younger Steve Vai...
I have gotten that a couple times, it's definitely the Italian. Now if only I could play that well...
@@DanteFrisiello If we could choose, isn't it...
You also look a bit like him when he was young.
It's the hair and the italian haha
@@DanteFrisiello Well I am Italian too but we do not look alike :D
