      He's a positive force who inspires you to be creative just watching video of him.
      Basically for me, I'm a guitarist. I listen to things he says about how he does this or that. Like in this I caught on to him saying that he created something, then exaggerates it. And that hit with me because I just caught myself figuring that out by myself, trying to create a cool song. I took a riff, reached out to notes that I normally wouldn't think about, and in doing so, made that riff interesting and out of the box. Vai inspires you to step out of the blues scale box.

    Musicians make great interviewers, they really bring out the best in artists, instead of the usual fanboy rhetoric, this is the best interview I've seen with Steve Vai. Instead of the god-like posturing that the media feed us he really is a regular dude. I'm definitely more of a fan now, having seen this side of him. Respect to Nikki.

    I used to "dj" at my sons hockey games and when the game was over and people were getting ready to leave, I would always play "For the Love of God" and sometimes people would come over and ask what I was playing and they would say that they never heard it before but its such a beautiful song. It was so cool to reach out and share Steve's music with people that never heard of him. I felt like i made a difference in the world.

      OMG totally! I have been binge watching this show since I found it. I wish I had known sooner that this channel existed. I have been a fan of Nikki for years. He always was the articulate one of the Crue band and he seems to have just as much talent for talk radio as he does for writing music!

    • @FreeportAaron
      @FreeportAaron 5 років тому +2

      It's crazy! I've always been into heavy music, but I never liked Motley Crue. I just didn't like their "thing", personality, etc. But I love guitar and Nikki is so positive and has a great personality and he's friends with, like, the coolest people, so I love this show. I'm binging it and I'm gonna be sad when I've watched it all. I'm also surprised that he only has 44K subscribers. That's crazy!

    These are 2 great gentleman. I met Steve Vai in England some years ago and he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. Very humble and deep. You can really make a conversation with this guy. No ego there and he is one of the best guitar players out there. I admit I dont know much about Nikki Sixx but he seems really nice too and he presents a great interview/show which I am now a addicted to. Above all that you can tell that these 2 are friends. Both seem comfortable and in their zone. Wr should have more interviews like this. Thumbs up indeed !

I just have a hard time understanding his comments about hoe Generation Axe is so much more organized than G3. Eric Johnson certainly wouldn't want a different band, neither would John Petrucci. That's what roadies are for and I'm sure they got paid big time because their was not much of a delay between bands. Ever. But whatever. He got it done and it's all good. Love them both to death.
