Steve Vai - Reminiscing About Randy Hansen
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2022
- I asked Steve to send my friend Randy Hansen a message for his birthday (12/8/2020). I did it through Cameo because Steve donates 100% of his Cameo earnings to charity. Wow…and what a gift it was and quite the surprise for Randy. As I’ve told anyone that’ll listen to me, “Steve is a better person than a musician and that says all you need to know about him…and that’s amazing…because Steve is one of the greatest musicians to ever walk The Third Stone From The Sun!!

Thank You Steve! Randy ist the Man!🎸
“Steve is a better person than a musician" You hit that one on the head. I met him back in early 2000's and spent about 15 minutes talking to him. What a caring, sincere person devoid of ego.
I’ve had the absolute privilege of getting to know Steve through various interactions over the last 8 years and he’s truly one of the most grounded, genuine, and caring individuals around. His wife and sons are the same way too…so you know it’s genuine.
OMG, my hero Steve Vai loves my other hero Randy Hansen. I can't believe this happened. I love you both. Steve, Randy. Steve, Randy. My brain just exploded. Wow.
Carol, did you watch the video on my channel of them performing together on Jimi’s 80th birthday?! It’s the first time they met.
i saw randy hansen back in the 80s and he did a back flip onto the stage and never missed a note the most amazing thing i ever saw at a concert!
Jimi never did back-flips. Ritchie Blackmore had roadies push his Marshall stack from behind,
so he could run up to it, put one boot up between the cabinets, a gap with wheels on, and do a back-flip.
He was in the air when he played the first three notes for the solo in Sweet Child in Time.

I saw Randy Hansen at 'My Fathers Place' as well, back in the day! Made the drive from Jersey just to see him! I can remember him jumping on top of some of the tables there and playing!
I met Randy in 1978 in Seattle. Great guy and friend.
Birthday vids ⬆️⬆️ YES!!! rockin great..
Randy Hansen for RRHoF.. Thank you SV. Good company. Starz Align.. Please. Jam. Peace!
I came so close to seeing Randy Hanson in Montreal in 1979 his first time here.But the crowd line went up the street and around the corner and so many people I knew there was no way I would get in so I left. With Randy we can all experience Hendrix !
Wow. I watched him play at a local Portland festival this last year. I didn't know he knew Steve Vai. That's cool.
I saw Randy at the Blue Frog twice..... Unbelievable.... And what can I say about Steve Vai ... He:s the best!
Thanks for the comment. If you love Steve and Randy like I do, check out my UA-cam page that I just started posting videos publicly. I asked Steve if Randy could join him on stage a few weeks ago…and my video captures that moment. Really cool.
As much as I admire him, Steve with all his might could not stand a chance next to Randy on any blues or even Little Wing to be on par, Randy is not just a great guitarist but completely awesome combining guitar mastery and singing and stage persona morhping into a surreal time capsule experience.
that video, somewhere out on the edge of youtube, of Randy's Little wing, is the most exquisite thing in this whole world. i stupidly didn't bookmark it. and now i can't find it :(
I will see him in 2 months in Germany for the first time. Im very exited :-) The sound and play of Jimi Hendrix. I bet it will be awesome.
Senchay, it will be an unbelievable Experience. Enjoy and send me a note afterwards. Looking forward to hearing about your first Randy Hansen show.
Yes it will.
I saw Steve and Randy playing together in Seattle last year, fuckintastic 🤘🏼
Joao, it was an amazing Experience for sure. I was there hanging with Randy and Steve all afternoon before the show. Steve was as excited as Randy for them to play together.
Meet Randy 74 we were both 19 partying at sound man Herb Smiths house on Alki beach getting high & playing pool about 2yrs later a friend says you have to check out this guy doing Hendrix so me & my girlfriend at the time went to the Flightline tavern & this guy doing Hendrix kept jump on our table playing right in front of us , after a while my girlfriend asked me do you know this guy ? I said I don't think so.He had makeup & a afro wig , in between sets he came up to me & said John it's me Randy, just blew me away ,he is by far the best it's not fair to call him an impersonator even the Hendrix family have given him their good grace to keep doing what he's done for decades he's more popular in Europe than the US.. Happy Birthday brother I hope our paths cross again 🎂🎉
Nobody channels Jimi like Randy I hope he comes back to Dallas guitar festival I missed it would love to see him.
Steve I saw you with Frank at the armadillo world headquarters you were not feeling well food poisoning I believe and you never missed a beat nobody could tell or know how sick you were so in fact you delivered like the postman..
The last time we spoke in person you had your Son at G3 in Austin....
Mike was with you on 2nd guitar and keys and he was walking around playing the room unplugged with the green strat and I said what are you doing your not plugged in and he said oh marking my territory If I play here and there and all over the room at sound check then ive already played there so im not nervous.. Mike never missed a note or a beat either and that was so cool to tell me cause I get the willies playing in front of crowds So if I ever do I walk around and play in every inch of the place before the show to tell myself ah ive already played there its gonna be ok relax.
Frank Zappa smiles down on you Steve you made him proud enough to take you on the road and play the impossible.
If I ever get the chance to speak to you again id ask about position of where the notes are to be played as I did in fact continue on to learn how to read music because of Frank though not very good I can read but I get confused as to where its to be played on the neck.. Thanks for the laughs and inspiration to become better at this thing of ours called music.
May the year bring you and your family great joy...
Jimi used to talk about The Electric Church. Randy would have to be Jimi’s Apostle Paul.
Randy is channeling something for sure.
R A N D Y and SV AND Z A P P A long live!!! Keep rockin boyz.. Lol.
I saw Randy on Halloween night, 1980 at the Seattle Center Arena. His non-hendrix solo album was new. Those songs and that show is in my top 5, and at 58 I've seen everyone. Randy's show was on par with the VH w/Dave shows.
Spot on. And other famous guitarists are blown away by Randy too. EVH, Blackmore, Satriani, Zakk, and more have gone to see Randy over the years and are completely blown away by his talent. Randy is an absolutely amazing guitarist, musician, entertainer, and artist. If you haven’t already, you should checkout his Funtown album. It was released in 2016. All original songs. Phenomenal stuff!!
hy steve 🥰
I have a guitar strap that Randy threw out at a show. My buddy caught it and gave it to me!
Randy is so good at what he does it would be scary even for a guy like Steve Vai to get on stage and Parley with randy on some Hendrix Tunes. I would do it as long as I can wear one of Wes Borland's masks so nobody knows who I am (lol)!
Fuk Hue, you should check out my channel. I recently posted a video of Steve and Randy meeting / playing together for the first time, which was just last November in celebration of what would have been Jimi’s 80th birthday. It was an insane Experience for me to witness and hangout with both of them all day. Also, I posted a video short on my channel of Randy showing me how it’s done jamming in my basement.
I am surprised Eddie was white. Just too good
Baron, Randy used to wear full on makeup back in the late 70s early 80s to look exactly like Jimi and it was confusing to many when he stopped wearing it. Steve meant nothing by the comment other than that. I was backstage with Randy and Steve on 11/27/2022 after they played together and met for the first time. Randy was explaining to Steve how he actually used to paint his face (as an artist) to look as close to Jimi as possible…and thus the origin of the comment. Randy also told me a story about when he met Jimi’s dad (Al Hendrix) for the first time after a show when he was still wearing the makeup and it was so convincing that Al kept on calling him Jimi.
…and I love your posts playing the EVH Custom Wolfgang Signature Model with the kill switch. Just an awesome guitar. Cool stuff. Rock on 🤘
@@markware9782 OK, that makes more sense
@@markware9782 Thanks
@@baronvongrimm4780 Randy was in a Devo video for the song R U Experienced and was in his full Jimi attire, makeup, and wig. Randy shows up around the 2:10 mark in the video. It’ll give you a better sense of what I mean. Just thought you might like to see it.
Great Jimi Birthday Video, thanks for Sharing
You’re welcome Jerry. Glad you enjoyed the video. It was very special to witness it in person.
@@markware9782 , I would love to meet Randy one day , I would definitely be honored and would love for him to sign one of my Strat builds* , he’s great and so was Jimi ***
@@MrRecordman Where do you live Jerry?
@@markware9782 ,,,, New Jersey *, I’ve did at least 50 Telecaster / Strat builds for the Asbury Park artists in the area
@@MrRecordman Cool. I used to live in NJ and PA. Randy hasn’t done a show out your way in a longtime. I was asking, because if you’re anywhere near one of his shows just let me know and I can facilitate a meeting for you to meet Randy and him to sign one of your custom built guitars.
The Good Rats used to play My Father’s Place all the time. I had a live recording of Tommy Bolin playing there and ironically The Good Rats opened for Tommy shortly after in Chicago.
Very cool. That Bolin recording must be something special.
@@markware9782 : It was great to hear and I wish I could’ve witnessed it in person but I was 8 or 9 when that concert took place. Goes to show you just how how popular The Good Rats are and how long they were around.
