That bass tone is SUPERIOR!

Love how Quincy Jones doesn't need a subtitle in the end credits. He's just THE Quincy Jones.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams Steve vai would do a collab with Jonah nillson. Bravo!

I love how Steve Vai is credited as "Stunt Guitar" in the end, nice little inside-joke. For those who don´t know: Vai started his career in Frank Zappa´s live band and Frank used to introduce him live as "my little Italian stunt guitarist".

Video: Best! Solo: Sick! Band: Top! Jonah: Rocks! Quincy: Jones!

Man some of you in the comments just need to just listen to the music and enjoy. All this comparing. Jesus....... Jonah is being Jonah. I thoroughly enjoyed this for what it is.

Came for Steve Vai but blown away by Tobias Grenholm's superb playing.

Where does Jonah get all these great bass players!? Tobias Grenholm is amazing!

Jonah ,Vai and Quincy?! omg… this is history

Imagine being Jesper the guitarist with a Marshall and Flying V, playing ghost notes that get burried under the synth. And then when it's finally time for a guitar solo, they fly in Steve.

There are no words to describe this bassline.

How many here listened to Steve' s solo over and over again???

Jonah's bassist choices are of the nastiest alive.

had to murder this replay button on Vai's solo. Superb.

Imagine being the guitarist Jesper. Sees "guitar solo" on the chart. Gets excited. They tell him they have a stunt guitar. Dejected, he asks who, finds out its Steve Vai..."you made the right choice" haha Out of this world solo. He is ridiculous innovative and original.

Sickest bassline! Repeated for an hour

Such strong Michael Jackson influence!

The music industry can never be thankful enough to Quincy Jones for the sheer amount of talent he brought to it. RESPECT!

Jesus, this was maybe Vai's best guitar solo ever. Jonahs voice sounds like "Michael Jackson meets Stevie Wonder". I love this song.

Jonah : “It’s a very dance-friendly song with lots of fun musical elements with Steve Vai ending the song with a crazy solo,” he added. “I thought to myself, this song needs the most epic, crazy, guitar-hero solo possible and there is only one person who could’ve delivered that: Steve Vai.” Yeah..fit perfectly!

Steve Vai yet again demonstrating his one-of-a-kind musical genius 👌

What a groovy bass line... holy crap.

Vai's solo is so tasty. The dude just keeps on striving and growing. Legend and inspiration.

After 40+ years of career, Steve Vai composes a solo that blows away most of the virtuosos out there. Still with his voice, his sounds, and his way to experiment. Always find your inner voice and develop it. Follow Vai's path, but do not follow him

Great to hear Steve Vai slotting in perfectly with his otherworldly solo.

Jonah deserves MJ levels of fame. I haven't heard another vocalist who absolutely shreds as hard as he does, on vocals, keys, and I think I saw he plays drums too? Absolute monster composer and player.

Well fuck... if it IS the most amazing pop song I've ever heard!? Holy shit what a huge amount of good taste here, I need to listen to this tune again and again all day. The 80s were never dead people, only hiding in Nilsson's subconscious!

Highest level of modern music!

Had to listen to Vai's solo twice

This fantastic solo by Steve Vai full of creativity, supreme technique and good taste takes me back to the song "Beat it" by Michael Jackson where Eddie Van Halen did a fantastic and now mythical solo. It is no coincidence that the producer of both albums is the genius Quincy Jones ...

The "Unsung Hero" in this video is Tobias Grenholm on 5-string bass guitar (and those who mixed his sound). Such a sassy, sexy, saucy, syncopated, sophisticated, striking, stunning, spectacular bass line! BRAVO!

These kids nowadays... still can't hold a candle to the tastefulness of Steve Vai. Wow.. What a genius.

Who in the world would dislike this ? :/

Jonah is channeling some serious Chris Tucker in Rush Hour 3 energy here

B for Bass !!

What's so awesome about Steve Vai are his endless possibilities to phrase a melodic line. Each note is approached in a distinct and different way, like it is with Jeff Beck or Marcus Miller.

i come back here to listen and every time im even more amazed at the perfection in composition and arrangements. This song deserves 100 times more likes and views. Amazing Job Jonah and team Edit: Of course steve Vai a genius as always. Respect

The Professor taking a break from streetball to lay down some sick basslines.

300k views, You gotta be kidding me. This piece needs billions views and likes!

Bass is so freaking awesome!!!

One of the best songs in a very long time. Distincly groovy, pinnacle musicianship, ridiculous vocals, top class mixing, but home run of the year is Tobias Grenholm’s master Yoda bass playing! Tobias if you’re reading this, your craftsmanship on the fat ax is out of this world good! You’ve got your own style, but in my opinion you are funky like Mark King and Stuart Zender, groovy and tender like Victor Wooten, and filthy badass like Buddy Hankerson and Mark Adams. Keep those fingers warm bro!

sickest bass I've heard in a loooooong time!

Nice to hear a great pop song with a fully weaponized bass.

Awesome! Proper pop/funk music! Stellar writing and execution!

JESUS CHRIST, THAT WAS VAI'S TASTIEST SOLO I'VE EVER SEEN

Dang. Have I been living under a rock? I'm hooked on this Jonah Nilsson... and Vai in the mix? Holy cow.

I don’t mean to detract from Jonah’s performance at all but Tobias’ bass playing totally steals the show here. What an amazing track.

Holy fuck… after following Steve Vai for the best part of 30 years he never ceases to surprise… what a fucking beast and legend… his solo just put all these new KZfaq guitar players on notice.

Maaaan. Steve Vai and the bassist. 🔥🔥🔥

5:04 "ME WHEN I HAVE ARTHRITIS" 🤘

This is for everybody. This is pure art and I am so happy that I can experience it during my lifetime.

How in the absolutely F, can this not be more popular. The musicianship is insane.

Damn! How does Steve Vai keeps getting better?! He's like a good wine :)

Crazy how at 61 years old Vai is still cranking out killer solos full of creative ideas

Can’t get over how good Steve Vai’s solo is. It’s been a while since I haven’t heard such a good solo on a song.

Thanks for not burying that amazing bass in the mix.

drummer and bass player are unreal!

This is killing! But I do miss your other bandmates from Dirty Loops. 😊💯🎼👍🏽Keep rockin...

Steve's solo goes beyond belief and the comment sense...

Love this song, love this solo, love this squad! Great working with you all once again. We'll jamm this song foreverrrr

"Tom Morello is the Whammy Pedal master" Steve Vai: "hold my beer"

Greetings from Dubai , no one has come this close to sounding like Michael Jackson , yet you maintained your original sound - that’s a feat bro … and then you got steve vai to play a solo - if this doesn’t win a Grammy then we know that the music industry is flawed🙂

After like 40 years,Steve Vai is still the most alien-sounding guitarist out there...some of the sounds he crafts are not supposed to come from a guitar

Jonah Nilsson is magical. Got Debussy and Ravel in his pocket

Vai's solo is still from another planet, he's always been my favorite guitarist since I was a kid, even way beforehand I've started studying music, it's incredible how he can merge even with such great musicians a bit away from "his genre". Zappa would be very proud of his once protegee, once more.

This guy has an incredible vocal skill I haven't seen in years. This is like level 20 singing ability. He's magnificent

The way Steve Vai plays with so much emotion makes me honestly cry,not too many musicians can do that to me,usually (generally speaking) it's because of maybe a sad melody,song.But this happens to me when the phrasing,conviction,etc...are just so emotional, even in a happy song.Here is a perfect example.

Vai’s solo is excellent , has it all , melodic, heavy , trippy , does blow away the competition , have not heard any other virtuoso create such composition within a pop song to boot ! Most players are great at the gymnastics , but lack melody , quite impressed with Vai !

Unbelievable. I’m basically blown away by anything Dirty Loops, and Jonah, their harmonies cuts into my soul. BUT that Vai solo is out of this world, how can a guy his age and decades of playing create something so innovative, tasteful, smart and simply brilliant? A raw model and an inspiration, especially for us of age. In all aspects.

Jonah has this magical gift, like no other, to make complicated music sound sexy and radio friendly. I must repeat: like no other.

Great bass ! Steve yaeh!!! Band wow !

That's some A5 grade wagyu bassline right there.

I support you from Japan!! You're my dream

This singer knows how to find great bass players! Any tips? :)

Binge watching Dirty Loops brought me here. Vai's solo caters so precisely to this track's groove; I'm still impressed by his abilities to adapt to any and every style out there he gigs for. It's probably a trait that Zappa was keen to. Jonah, your voice is absurdly delightful and moving and your arrangements are inspiring. I hear the Greats in your voice, from Little Richard to Stevie Wonder, to Michael Jackson, to Prince, and even Tevin Campbell.

Steve Vai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Playing the guitar weirdly sweetly and effortlessly as always... His phrasing is always on point

michael will be looking down, smiling meanwhile, bruno has begun to perspire

The greatest modern day singer we have, please make more music

That bass tho. oMG that bass tho

Came for Jonah Nillson, stayed for Steve Vai. How has NONE of Nillsons videos hit 1m in 2 years!?

Blown away by this collaboration! Mr. Vai with Jonah (Dirty Loops) and Quincy Jones! Tobias Grenholm is a beast!

Thank you for letting the world hear what MUSIC sounds like! Each musician on this track has given a gift to us that too many are not appreciating!!!!

I was wondering how Steve was going to fit into this kind of music but he knocked it out of the park. Still innovating after 40+ years on the scene. Love it. Great work Jonah and everyone else who made it happen.

Bass Line + Bass Sound really superb

Not bad at all. That bassist is killing it!

Jesus man… I’m not listening to anything but this song for a while. Soooo gooood!

This is one of Steve Vai BEST guitar solos ever!

That guitar solo to bring it home! It was otherworldly music of a higher power.

Damn! this is not simple music, this is magic played by magicians! 🔝🔝🔝

Came here for vai and was absolutely flabbergasted at how much I loved the song...sublime 👌

Just came across this!! Why hasn't this got 1 MILL likes yet??? :) This IS music.

How bad ass is this track, what an honor it must have been to work together with all of these amazing musicians! I'm so lucky that I got introduced to Dirty Loops by someone, because since then I just can't get enough... I'm literally obsessed! Love you man, cheers from The Netherlands.

Steve Vai: Theramin Professional

That bass ❤️

Totally Next Level Jonah!!! Please can you invite Steve VAI to play with DIRTY LOOPS? Please, Please, PLEASE??? 🩸⭕️💧⭕️🩸

Harry Connick Jr singing Michael Jackson with Stevie. Now I've seen it all. Awesome. 🔥🔥🔥

I guess this is the first music Jonah Nilsson takes E-Guitar. but still it has his own style and wonderful.

That's amazing! The bass in particular, the drums are great too

Honestly I thought I had been over Vai for years then he does this solo! Man not expected at all from him at this point and shows how musically he’s a genius can deliver something completely unexpected.

I imagine Quincy must really admire this dude's talent to have him lean into the MJ influence this much. Absolutely adore the song! Vocals are infectious!! The little spicy modulations here and there are seriously cool too!
