Kip Winger and Steve Vai, now that would be an album made in heaven!

These 2 guys are a couple of light years beyond your typical rock star musicians.

As I was watching this interview, I couldn’t help but imagine this quartet recording and playing live together: Steve Vai - Guitar Kip Winger - Bass and Vocals Devin Townsend - Guitar and Vocals Terry Bozzio - Drums

Two gentlemen that are beyond great musicians but geniuses of musical composition and interpretation. Pure genius! It is amazing to have living Beethovens, Mozarts, and others in our time. We are blessed by you both!

Steve said, you have the right to do things for you. Remember that. Be Your own good health. Make your own good appropriate choices. Own positivity.

Would love to here the music Kip and Steve could create together....

These guys could make incredible music together.

Would love to see you both do something together either in rock or orchestral!

Who would come up with a one note FOR 17 MINITES ,,,,MR.VAI. Steve you are such an inspiration,,,Also Kip your songwriting is AWESOME the album PULL, ever song on that album is great,,,saw your band perform it also, great show. THANK YOU STEVE / KIP YOU GUYS ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE MUSICIANS. - RJ.

The Song writes itself. WE are just the conduits:)

Great musicians both ❤

Lessons beyond the music. I see a possible collaboration in the future.

I love Steve Vai. He is simply amazing! And what an amazing interview!

Kip my legend s my favorite My love Kip Winger

Awesome conversation! Can't wait for part 2...

Two musical geniuses discussing music.....count me in!

I didn't see this coming.... thank you KZfaq algorithm! Subbed!

Kip and Steve are two great musicians and two great composers to me. Thank you for the wonderful time. Thank you Kip, thank you Steve. Best of luck to you two in the future!

Thank you so much for this interview, great questions and answers. Inspiring.

Excellent conversation, excellent questions.

finally someone who asks different questions then which pedal, which amp, which strings.... thanks!!!!

Two masters - Can't wait to dive in!

Probably the best Steve Vai interview I’ve ever seen. Honestly maybe one of the best music interviews in general.

My guitar teacher,Craig Reno from Fairview heights Illinois taught me that winged was full of real deal pro musicians kinda a super group, I loved the sound and songs and voice! Kips work super inspired me and changed my trajectory

Good thing if you're this great in music you don't have to brag about it. Absolute legends

Really enjoyed watching Kip asking intelligent, and inspiring questions!! Steve is as always, forever will live on through his personallity and dream-esque music!!!

Kip winger's interviews are so interesting! I'm binge watching!😂 Steve vai is so talented too.

Amazing interview. Thx Kip.

Winger and Vai, wow, how did I miss this interview? I love them both.

Two of my top 5 favorite composers! Thank you both for all your endeavors, they have brought so much joy to my musical mind

Thank you for this inspiring conversation with two musical virtuosos.

It doesn't get better than a great musician / composer interviewing a great musician / composer.

Fantastik conv. I've always enjoyed Steve's Philosophies on life, music and spirituality. Your angle on the interview is a refreshing twist on the normal convos we get. Putting the energy out and getting the energy back is a deep spiritual concept and its pretty cool to see two big musical geniuses talking about that. Great interviews. I've always been inspired by your musical journey and talent and by your peaceful thoughtful personality. Much different than the 'rocker' personae that MTV creates as an image. Very cool.

Two legends

Kip and Steve? Man that's a lot of guitar heat on one set!

Both of these great human beings conveyed to me a lot through their music. It’s really awesome to realize that both are connected to the Akashic Records. I have a debt of gratitude to Steve for introducing this Realm in my life. Thank you Master!

Great interview! Looking forward to part 2. Thank you for sharing Kip. ❤🎶

Kip & Steve 🌹🌹🌹 much love from Lithuania

Being a professional drummer for many moons I have so much respect and admiration for real musicians like Kip and Steve. Their music is awesome. So much stuff on the radio today is synthetic garbage not music.

Wow! I’m blown away by this interview between the two of you. Gives me a lot of food for thought about how to open the mind to creativity.

❤

Two of the most talented people on the planet! 👏

This is like world's colliding. Two of my favorite musicians. Glad this happened.

Two of my favorite musicians together discussing their craft. Fantastic.

I can hardly wait for Part II

This was awesome Kip! Love it. Love the whole idea about what you put out into the universe is what you get back. I'm glad Steve mentioned that about negative energies we put out like worry and fear. It's so true. I needed that reminder!! Thanks for this and looking forward to part 2!

Mr. Vai jamming with John McLaughlin would be interesting. John’s return to Indian music after 50 years with Shakti proves how infinite music is…

Kip your amazing in New Hampshire and thank you for everything

Fantastic interview, thanks for uploading/sharing Kip (and Steve).

This was great.... I cant wait till part 2

Incredible conversation! Thank you!

Awesome

ThisConversationSeemsLikeAnInterview

Kip this is really good stuff. Thank you bro! 🙏

Fascinating interview with two legends. I had no idea Steve Vai's talents extended beyond his virtuoso guitar shredding. Thank you Kip. Brilliant!

What a delightful surprise! Pure fun to sit in on a conversation with Kip and Steve tripping on, of all things, composition!!! Enjoyed that endlessly! Two massive thumbs up for that.

Everything I would have been wanting to hear from Steve vai. Thanks!

When Steve talked about playing one note for 17 minutes, I imagined Nigel Tufnel describing this idea to Rob Reiner...

Its always interesting when you sit 2 masters of their craft down and have them discuss their craft in detail. awesome.

what a great interview! Vai is such a joy, and Kip is an amazing musician and sensible person, just great to watch and listen

Before ever having known that your piece was entitled Still Small Voice your description of requisitioning the universe for your needs reminded me of the first, and likely most successful, time that I performed that same task. It was for the purpose of confirming the existence of God to a friend and atheist. The confirmation was obtained in a dream under hypnopompic paralysis and yet a still small voice urged that I understand that my request was in vain and thusly only half fulfilled but to the extent that it served as proof to the skeptic. The way you describe it as a "download that sort of hits you" is an amazing confirmation of experience. Thank you for risking ridicule to share the process of obtaining enlightenment.

Amazing interview Kip and Steve

so cool. Thanks for letting us into the other realm of your lives gentlemen.

Awesome interview!! 👍 I can't wait for the next part!!

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome.

Two of my favorite musical heroes conversing ... wow... such a gift. Thank you!

What a pleasure to watch and listen my two most favourite musicians. I hope to see an interview with Andy Timmons one day!

Κip Interviewing Steve. What a treat and so many interesting questions noone has asked before. Thank you Kip.

These guys are magicians and they can create music beyond our Imagination. They should spend more time together, writing together. I'm sure they will enjoy it a lot, and we will have a new legendary musical language.

Steve Vai, you are a legend! Your musicality, talent, humanity and wisdom is a joy to us all! Cheers from Argentina.

I love this universe! 😋 My humble appreciation says thank you!

“Ya just have to shut up!” - love it. Steve Vie is the guy… an amazing talent and human being!

As a prog rock guitarist who has always had this wish and calling of composing classical pieces despite living in a small country...this is inspiring to say the least. Enourmous respect for you Kip and Steve of course.

What an absolutely wonderful interview. By far the best questions I’ve seen anybody ask Steve. Huge fan of both of you! Bravo!

Great interview. Very thoughtful questions. Kip had Steve thinking very deeply. Love it.

I like Steve as a human he is smart and polite and a well spoken Man And his Music and as a Artist I adore 🎉

What a pleasure. Just discovered your channel Kip, thanks for giving us the opportunity to learn more about your music and music in general. And Vai, fascinating discussion between you two.

Easily one of the best music interviews of all time. Great questions! Thanks Kip!

Two greatest!

Such a great interview. No questions that Steve has answered hundreds of times already through the years . Well done Kip.

Loved this, thanks for the interview. BTW, this is off topic but I met you once in the late 90s. I don't remember exactly which year, but I remember going into a book store of all places (Borders, I think) in Minnesota off the south loop just west of the Mall of America. The wife and I were walking about in the store and I hear someone singing a Winger tune while playing an acoustic guitar. I went around a few shelves and you were there playing with a group of people gathered around. That was pretty cool!

A great chat between two of the brightest guys in music. Looking forward to more of these Kip.

This conversation is very intellectual and interesting 🤔 love universe topics and it’s relationship with music 🥰

This is EXACTLY what I was supposed to see & hear today!💯 I literally had a Vision for a new Project but havent even really sat down to write it all out yet. I can see and sorta hear the concept but it isnt TIME yet. Also: the asking the Universe is so important- I find faith and good karma bring so much into the ability to take on these tasks

These are great interviews. I’d love to hear some classical/orchestral versions of your songs. Also a new solo album would be awesome.

Two of my all time favorites. Love this! ❤

Both of YOU TWO have crossed my Path. You both helped me . Today It is nice to putt around in your wake, Same Water, Different Boats, HAIR HELPS with The downloads. Thanks for the kick. You do my heart good.

Two of the most brilliant musicians out there, having an amazing conversation. Been looking forward to this! I am very intrigued not only to hear the next two parts but also to see who else Mr. Winger interviews.

This was a great interview. Kip asked him questions I would not have thought of. Very cool. Looking forward to part 2.

This is a phenomenal interview Kip and extremely insightful, I can't wait for part 2. ✌🏻

Kip doesn’t get enough credit for his musical abilities

I had to subscribe after this. Not sure if I have watched a more inspirational interview. One that has these high level questions that open a CONVERSATION not just answers. Nice job Kip! So much of this transfers to the visually creative world, and this inspires me.

Thanks for this, Kip!! LOVE hearing composers talk about composing!

Wow Kip Winger and Steve Vai amazing !! These two men are beyond words, simply wow thank you for this interview.

Great interview can't wait for part 2, God bless

Excellent first part of the interview. I'm watching the others. Absolutely fascinating info from Steve and from you, Kip! Thank you for these vids. 🤗

Fascinating.. looking forward to part 2.

Really enjoyed the direction of your questions! Great concepts-the infinite creation of music, "seeing" the music, dreaming the tunes, putting your requests out to the universe, melody never being boring, stilling your mind in the evening to expand your universe in composing. Interesting how he originally "got" music & his description of realizing all the colors at his disposal. I just discovered an amazing poem by Robert Frost that I related it to immediately, "The Aim was Song". Beautiful, it's basically about the wind learning that it was always meant to be song. Great stuff, thank you!

Superb! Meeting of great musicians and awesome discussion! Looking forward to the next parts! I’ve been to a Vai experience before a show and I can verify that Steve is very consistent in what he practices and preaches. A lot of the stuff esp with parameters etc he talked a lot about that. Fascinating stuff

Awesome! I didn’t know you were a composer, Kip. Or what that means to you. But if you’re writing out sheet music, that is really cool. I had a great guitar class in high school. My first year, we were asked to write an original piece. So I did, and I still have it. I was always a pretty good artist, so looking at the sheet music now, it almost looks like it was printed out using a program. I just really took my time. I will try to listen back more. It just gets harder and harder to hear the same stories from Steve over the years. And how out of touch a lot of successful people are with the real world. Or how at six years old he became aware of an ‘infinite universe!’ 🤣 Always reminds me about this really wealthy woman that I met around 30 years ago. She was so kind of spacey and out of touch. She said, “you have to make a wish before coming into my house and all of it grandeur.” 😂😢 Paul Stanley is the same way, and Gene. These guys are all becoming like old wealthy Jewish ladies!!! 🤣😝 I just can’t take it anymore, ha ha. But I’ll try to get through the interview at some point. But you are awesome, Kip. Winger was one of my favorite bands of the late 80s. Time flies!
