Finally!! Somebody who gets it!

Vai also transcribed yngwies black star for guitar player magazine ..brilliant transcription on Vais part .

Así es.

​@@davida6889 Yes

Supervicious Technically Vai is better but he isnt Blackmore.

Private Siren I agree ✊🏼

@@kathrynremington2486 I love the job of Graham Bonnet on Rainbow, Down to earth it's very well.

​@@kathrynremington2486Graham's album with Vai was better then his album with Richie.

..absolute..

Right 😉 I see what you’re doing here

I got to talk to both one time in the same room! Steve was the nicest guy, Yngwie was a big old Douchbag. I got to meet both a bunch of times through life luckily. I'm sure by now Steve nows my name.

It’s so great, innit? His best tone by a million miles! I think it sounds a little like James Hetfield’s ride the lightning tone, and Vai was also slaving Mesa boogie amps into Marshall speakers.

It’s very different to Yngwie’s take, I have to say, but the way that Vai plays it, it’s more of a piece in its own right than a fade out guitar solo, like the original version was. That’s not me saying I like either one better; even though I like Steve better than Yngwie, I don’t think either was better or worse. Yngwie’s guitar wailed with all the sadness and fury of a thousand tortured souls, whereas Vai’s guitar pleaded to the universe for forgiveness for the song’s narrator’s sins…and because of those two separate emotional impressions, both solos were indescribably powerful in different ways. I’m not Christian btw, I’m just thinking in the sense of the song when I say “sins”

Which was from Kung foo

And the part of solo would later become “Building the Church”;) 04:27

@@_lizard_king From 4:21 to 4:26, a group of about six people in the front row who seem totally unimpressed.

Bobby T., they was paralyzed by impression or just stoned🤣

@@_lizard_king Who knows, but they seemed not into it at all.

Still sounds great.

I see people say his singing is horrible. Especially under performance of the song Bigfoot. Idk what they are hearing or if they are just here to glaze Yngwie and shit talk Graham.

Alcatrazz as a group certainly are a footnote, but Vai and Malmsteen shocked the world.

Malmsteen had in this era ten times better tone,better right hand picking,timing,and vibrato than Uli Roth,it is common place,Vai is ten time more unique,more creative ,and better composer than Schenker.You must be confused

One argument,only one,but you do not have it.fact.every word i said fact.such is life.smrc.

Cacophony... and they got 2 of the best guitarists together at the same time writting and performing

skyguitar wow.still watching this haa? True bro cacophony has the best guitarist also..marty and becker are the best

And one of the best singers!

Wow,that was awesome!! It's like the pre-cursor for For the Love of God!

Steve had little time of learning or figuring Malmsteen's part.

The only one who could pull this off without practically any time is Vai. Just look at the guitar players he’s had to replace. None better at it!

no your not alone..steve was shit kicker when he was young and still is..remember he had already played in frank zappa band.. best player on the planet

@@mikecicco2775, to be fair there are several of good players who could pull it off too, starting with Satriani. Too bad those guys usually gravitate to solo projects and get boring quick. No matter how good you are, band of creative musicians (like in this vid) will always make better music.

Yeah, the Japanese love this kind of rock and metal

Abdullaah Bin Feisal hahaha best comment I’ve read in a long time

Hahah😂

You be full of it!! Lol. Steve Vai is the greatest hands down. And look at all he has done over the years!! Probably more then any other soloist

Check out the faces he makes during Yngwie's solo in this live version... especially this last one at the end of the solo :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZtnlZiGqZaZgac.html

They left yngwie

Close...but not the same. One is horizontal stripes, the other vertical. Yes, I have a LOT of time on my hands.

No.

His first show with Alcatrazz was a difficult one, he was nervous and poorly prepared, and it showed. A huge crowd of enthusiastic fans were gathered watching them, expecting to see Yngwie play, who had literally only just left the band, so instead they got Steve Vai…who doesn’t play anything like Yngwie. He had only just been brought in from Frank Zappa, and he’d only had one day to learn the entire set. During “Suffer Me”, fans got angry and started yelling things like “you suck” and “I want my money back” at Steve, bless him. He hasn’t ever sucked, but man the guy has been put in some tough positions.

Not in the top twenty.

Italians at being musicians are like asians at math.

Markus Antonio 😂😂😂

The Genesis of greatness!

got double stop like blue powder as well

I was gonna say, it wouldn’t really be possible for the band to overdub the solo in a live context

Watch closely. It's not live but overdubbed.

@@chukrock not the full solo but parts of it

..with are comes Wisdom.

Blackmore Micheal schenker Gary moore rik emmit ronnie montrose evh satrianni hendrix were the best live period also srv. Anytime over super flashy guitarist

YEP! 👍

Actually the guitar he played in Crossroads was a Charvel custom with a headstock that looked like a Jackson. I thought it was a Jackson too, but I wasn’t sure after looking into the guitar in the movie more.

Wow...Building the Church at 4:25

Also "Building The Church"

The lyrics are a bit word-salady, but the concept is really interesting, I wonder if Bonnet based it on a real life experience

And ripped off blackmore big time

Increíblemente real...

did you noticed? that was kind of embarassing!!I really like steve vai but I think he s kinda cheater for some things...

Edoardo Morelli ?? can ya elaborate on this

@@splishsplash6802 the solo is overdubbed in the studio- what you’re hearing for a portion of the video is not the solo from show. Some people consider that cheating.
