Steve's house is like a guitar center except that the guitars at Steve's house are taken care of

Steve Vai is a cool dude. Cracked me up saying shit like "it has a input jack and a whammy bar."

"the right hand is... busy doing other things when you're a teenager" We nerds of the internet are no strangers to that Steve.

"They wanted to Mix my blood with the Dip" Goddamn Ibanez is kinky af

I like the fact that they never use lapel microphones. I enjoy turning my volume up and down constantly.

10:27 I love how he went for the monkey grip and I wasn't there haha

7:56 "I do use the sustainer, I started using it a lot about 10 years ago. I've pulled back, cause.. You don't wanna keep repeating yourself.. You don't wanna keep repeating yourself." I don't know why I found that little joke so funny but I think it went over most people's heads 😂😂

This shit is hilarious ! I about fell off my chair when he made the comment about getting a song on the radio. I admire that type of honesty. The Yngwie impersonation was pretty damn funny too..

"Because, you know. You don't want to keep repeating yourself. You don't want to keep repeating yourself."

I used to think Steve Vai was so uptight and thought so highly of himself based on pretty much nothing except some live performances I saw. I was so wrong about this guy. The more I learn about him the more I admire him. I think he's one of the few famous guitarists that actually deserves all the stuff he has and praise he gets.

what strikes me here is how down to earth Steve Vai is. Someone like him that has done so much and yet seems human

I once met Steve at like fan meeting and I said that i love his music and if he could sign my guitar and he didn't answer, he just kept looking at me and not blinking for some time and then he signed her :D He is kind of not human, but in a very special way, you have to look into his eyes to see. Love this guy!

A true genius with a great sense of humour. Anybody who reads that as arrogant doesn't understand both him or the meaning of the word. He is always so giving of his time and answers the questions asked of him. Most celebrities when asked a specific question just talk about themselves, completely ignoring the question and the person hosting the interview.

I LOVE Steve Vai but lets get serious...i came here for Rebecca Dirks ;)

I guess Steve stands in his bathroom every morning and talks to the mirror "Hey Dude..you are the best...GIMME FIVE"

How could anyone hate on Steve Vai?

"maybe that guy could get his fuckin' music on the radio"

Lol, Rebecca got embarrassed when Vai said his right hand was busy doing other things. Lmao.

I like it more when the artists show off their guitars. It means more to them and they can go deeper in details when they explain it rather than techs. Techs most likely know more about the actual technical aspects (rightfully so) but the artists really should show their own guitars.

He's just a plain good dude. It's amazing how his kind of "mystical" approach on his personality and ideas phisically transcribe to his stage presence, his clothes, his guitars and most importantly his playing. THAT'S what an unique player consists. Steve Vai is Steve Vai for a reason.

What a classy guy, pretty good interviewer too. I love insight like this into a musician's instrument cave.

6:23 like in a hundred years, if they get cloning down and if they can take the pieces of this blood and take it's DNA from it and clone me, and make another Steve Vai, maybe that guy can get his fuckin music on the radio. I JUST DIED.

"Maybe THAT guy can get his fuckin music on the radio!" LMAOOO Gold

Look at all the Steve Vai haters on this page..... obviously very jealous of Steve's guitar playing abilities ... there are loads of gold nuggets in this video where Steve is willing to pass on his guitar knowledge. I found the video very insightful.

Steve cracks me up with his crazy outfits, facial expressions, and dance moves.

thumbs up for Rebecca not running away from this guy

I love how somebody like Steve Vai has a couple of $50,- practice amps and stock mini/traveller guitars just for fun!! Awesome to see that he does like the ocassional Marshall, Fender or Roland amp every now and then. You can tell by the way he talks he is very (brand)loyal to his endorsers.

Such a great interview. Had me smiling the whole time. Thank u Steve Vai!

Does anyone else find it kinda weird/freaky that at 7:05 the "Sea form Green" Guitar just suddenly appeared in his hands. (Personally I think this is solid proof that Steve Vai is actually god).

he does have a valid point. radio doesn't play steve vai.

He said exactly what I've felt my whole life. When I play I either find my zone or I don't but it's not something I can force to happen it's something I can't think and do it's a feeling from within and I find it at odd times but when I do it's mystical it's magical and I cherish those moments. Thanks Steve for sharing this. We are definitely toy collectors to a sense and all musicians are odd to an extent. You've Inspired me entire life I taught myself to play because of Passion and Warfare so I will always remain thankful for the inspiration to do that. Keep doing what you do And the radio comment you live in my radio always will

When Steve Vai say's "I had a lot of trouble" with anything related to guitar playing, I know there is hope for us all!

I love how Steve goes out of his way to explain stuff in great detail and Rebecca is such a sweet heart! Great video PG!!

Wife: "Have you turned into Steve Vai yet?" Steve: "Not yet - where's my Ibanez pick? If I've got the wrong pick I just can't play."

One of my favorite Rig Rundowns ever. Ii am watching in 2022 and Steve Vai is still kicking and rocking better than ever.

I really like how he's so willing to share so much info about his ideas and gear. It's great to see he's still super enthusiastic 🤘🏼

"She goes everywhere with me i actually sleep with her sometimes....she has both an input jack and a whammy bar" 😺😸😜

Amazing collection! Love the fretboard to body unison understanding, something to think about when getting serious about next guitar purchase, Thanks for the carpet grinding pick trip

Well done Rebecca. great job keepin this throwback on point.

Such a wonderful optimist! Great collection. Really enjoyed this video.

Rebecca is the real deal. She can throw down knowledge about guitars, pedals, pick ups, etc. with the best of them.

I have to say, fair play to Rebecca! She had to interview one of the biggest names in rock guitar, a serious guitar hero for almost half an hour. That's a lot of pressure and I think she did a great job. P.s. Steve Vai... If you're reading this, can you add me to the guitar giveaway list pleeease?! :) that Ultrazone Axe.... Simply stunning! Great interview.

Fantastic insight on Steve Vai's gear. It's a good thing the interviewer let him speak, he's a class act! A+

i couldn't take my eyes away from the interviewer the entire time.... she is gorgeous

Vai: these guitars are all very different. Also vai: this one is jem and this one is a jem

Been in Vai's studio a few times and it's amazing!!! Doesn't hurt that he's an amazing guitarist as well.

love this video & seeing his awesome collection!!!

Wow...he has a huge passion for his collection. Love it!

Man, I want a room like that. Holy shit

So great an so many levels. This is paradise on Earth. I loved the "This is Spinal Tap" reference. One of the funniest movies ever made, and a must-watch for any rock musician.

This is one of my fave artist gear videos. They are both such nice people, she's is so good to look at and he's good to listen to.

The MASTER opening up. Great video. Thank you.

6:05 "Vai-ls" of Vai-blood? If you will.

This show would be so much better if they miked up the participants rather than rely on the hand held mic. Yeah, it looks cool and 'journalisty' but it really gets in the way. That was a very pedantic point. In other points, Vai is in my top 3 and seeing his guitar cave is one of the coolest things I could possibly imagine so thank you Premier Guitar

I've been a Steve Vai fan even since the first time I saw Crossroads. By far my favorite solo artist! That dual scene at the end is one of the best scenes in all of cinema.

The greatest guitar player and the greatest guitar collection off all times! 👍

She does ask some great questions... I've seen her progress and she really does address the material as much as any dude fan could ever.....Bravo Premiere Guitar.....

I would've thought the Les Paul was the most successful and long running signature model of all time.

Such an inspiration, never change Steve. HOLY SHIT that cabinet or pedals

wow! awesome collection! ty for all you do because we probably would never see any of these rock stars guitars otherwise. I want a room just like steves room.

Nice Guy, really down to Earth, That's why he is so successful. Great Studio.

Missing Rebecca...She really knew her stuff & asked questions which drew out good info from the artists.

Steve Vai is basically every high school music geek, but he just happened to have worked the hardest and was born with the most talent. He still has this kind of kiddish vibe about him, making outfits and whatnot. Seems like a dope guy

this is by far the best episode

So Steve not only believes in tonewood, but also tonefabric?

It has an input jack AND a Whammy!

Killer interview !

After seeing this, I'm inspired to write songs. I was amazed with the story behind the DNA Guitar. A great legend sharing his story. Thanks Steve for sharing your story. 👍👍💕

A lot of people are giving Vai shit for saying the Jem is the longest running and most successful signature guitar in history. I'm sure Vai like myself knows that the Les Paul is technically a signature series instrument. I don't think he's being arrogant or dishonest considering the fact that he has said on many occasions how much he loves and respects Les Paul for his innovations in the evolution of the electric guitar and sound recording. I don't know Vai's reasons for not mentioning the Les Paul but IMO the Paul is not a signature in the same sense of what a signature guitar is today. The Jem is exclusive to Steve Vai, other people play them but no other guitarist has a signature model that is a Jem. The Les Paul however, is a design that many guitarists have their own signature based on. Slash and Zakk Wylde among many others have their own models that are Les Paul's. The design of their instruments are typically the same as far as the specs of a Les Paul go. Their models may vary in pickups, hardware, woods, and electronics but the shape, style, scale length, ect, are exclusive to the Les Paul. A Paul has become a specific instrument like a strat. Like I said, the Jem is identified with one player while the Paul is identified with hundreds of players. Ibanez has many endorsees but aside from Vai none of them play a Jem. A Les Paul is more like an RG in the sense that many players build signatures based around that specific design. I know the Paul is a signature but its kind of a technicality at this point. Regardless, Vai doesn't deserve such hate for an innocent comment like that. As he has matured as a man and a musician he has routinely checked his ego at the door and always gives credit where its due. He's a great spokesman for the guitar community which is often filled with retards who love to measure dicks by claiming superior chops and musical excellence. I'm sometimes ashamed to be among that community. I have said many times you don't have to be great at guitar to be a great musician. Chops don't always translate to great music. I can play circles around some of my favorite musicians but I don't consider myself anywhere near their level of brilliance. Anyway, that is my opinion on the matter.

i like how after every interview her arm falls limp because she just got done holding the mic up for half an hour

That was a awesome interview

Great interview loved it...cheers.

[taps the guitar] [cocks ear like there's something to hear] "It's a unison." Spinal Tap moment there.

Say Steve. Say ya give lots of the guitars away? Man I would love to have the Jem behind you in the first section of this video!!!!!! You are the best!!!!!!!!!!1 Looking forwarded to hearing from you friend!!!!!!

I wish I could afford one of your Jem guitars. They look and sound so amazing. And so do you, sir!

I met Steve Vai one time... YOU OWE ME 18 YEARS OF CHILD SUPPORT STEVE!

Nice rack...of guitars

steve vai is the coolest person ever

Probably the best of the PG interviews.

Smokin hot!! And the guitars are nice!

steve vai is like a creepy uncle that is actually harmless Your parents don't trust him,but they let you hang out with him.

it's almost like he lives in a guitar center, that would be awesome

I come back to this video at least once every year to have a good time

Steve's the man. He becomes more so with the passing of time. He's close enough to my age for me to feel a certain affinity. I don't play what he plays, but I listen to him, almost exclusively.

13:45. "This is the Stonehenge version"... Lol. Nod to spinal tap.. Such a witty humor.. Lol

Wow...Who is Rebecca Dirks? Absolutely stunning young lady.

It’s really enjoyable listening this guy.

I just love him as a person and a musician!

Love Vai's dirty jokes.

so your "guitar gear" is basically a "guitar store"...lmao IM IN THE ZONE

very thorough with his rig rundown, Vai is a nice guy,

I love Steve Via,he's my hero,one day I'm gonna meet that guy!

It seems like Steve Vai is a guitar player version of Charlie Sheen, minus the drugs and the HIV.

she is so cute

What a cool guy. An eccentric in his element. So fun to watch

Steve Vai Rules! Great musician and a wonderful person.

woohoo... Steve Via Rocks...!! wtf.... he's got size 16 hands....!! great Rig Rundown Rebeca, thanks ..!!

Steve vai is truly one of the most successful men in human history 👏

Idk how someone can be so cocky yet so humble at once but steve is... AND I LOVE IT!

the most incredible thing about this guy with the guitars is that he has no ego and is very humble man...
