- Steve Vai at the entertaim.net Interview with Dennis Rowehl about collecting guitars, current and future projects, party life and debaucheries with David Lee Roth, musical experiences and more.
Steve sounds like a lovely, sincere guy in lots of his interviews.
Rich F I met him at Mannys on 49th back in the day and he was such a gentleman and we chatted for nearly 10 min. He is a genuinely good man.
Worked with him briefly about 20 years ago, he is every bit the nice guy he seems to be!
What is amazing to me, is how Steve made every band he ever play in, better! There are not many musicians, if any on this earth, that had such an impact on work they did!
Every band except for Alcatrazz…. The albums with Yngwie are better than the one with Steve Vai
@@andysixxlett2632B.S. Disturbing the Peace is Alcatrazz best album.
Stevie is absolutely professional and gentle guy. In a simple interview...with the most usual questions... he can talk easy and bring a lot of new informations inside the answers.
Didn't realise Vai had been playing for four centuries. Legend!
adamtzsch That's why he's so good!
adamtzsch He was born four hundred years ago in the highlands of Scotland and his weapon is a rock guitar, not a sword.
1 hour a day + four centuries = rock god
He is the devil's guitarist, after all...
Were in his second century, the third and fourth were recorded in the 90s, yknow the alien ones
I like him. He’s so real and he doesn’t just answer off the cuff- he’s really says the truth and not what you’d think he’d say. Very well spoken and such a talent!
when the enterviewer says at 4:28 "you play guitar for the last four centuries", Vai is looking at him like, I'm not THAT old man!
+mikemb123 it was 4 centuries!
+Michael Craig 4 centuries? you absolutely sure? as in.. 400 years? ;)
+Pete Marr Pretty sure he means 4 decades, not centuries
I knew he was a god
He also says at the start, “you are a meager guitar player.”
Interviewer-- So you play guitar for a few stars, for the last 4 or 5 centuries"...
Steve-- Well, if you're talking about 4 DECADES"... Didn't make fun of him with that gargantuan mistake, had a smile on his face to show the camera that he's actually listening to what the interviewer is asking, says only one thing about Steve Vai--
FUCKING CLASS ACT !
blica 1 The poor guy was clearly nervous there. Thankfully Steve noticed too and didn't act like a douchebaggy rockstar.
I think Steve understood English was not the guy's 1st language...
Rhythmista he corrected him but he's very humble
smooth hiding the fact he is 550-600 years old!
I'm in awe of Mr. Vai, everything I've ever seen him do on the stage and recordings is so good~!!! Plus he just seems like the most genuinely nice guy around. sure would like to be fortunate enough to see his studio one day.
Billy Sheehan said that when you're in DLR's band, Blow Jobs grown on trees.
Doctor Buga gayyyyy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn....what a bummer!
* grow *
That scene in Crossroads is why I play guitar today
Yeah same with me also...When i saw that scene and heard Steve Vai's playing for the first time i knew at that point that i would be a guitar player :)
Jack Butler!!
Jack Butler is gonna love you!
I really like the interviewers child like excitement. He comes across as very genuine.
I saw Steve do a solo in Phila. for David Lee Roth, he went into a solo and fell on the floor like Hendrix , playing the solo I looked up at the camera monitor and Steve was puking while playing the solo. Maybe he was drunk, maybe he had the flu. I dont know but it was cool !
Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.
LMAO
Now I am as happy as a little girl.
Caribou!
DevilMaskMedia hahahahaha nice catch
BooksElleRs I was looking for something witty to say that would fit this interviewer, and you nailed it. NOW WE DANCE.
"I feel silly because it's fake"
nailed it
You know you've made it when a bald German guy in a black turtle neck interviews you, asking: "How many guitars do you have?"
Meaning???
@@nunzionapolitano581 He's a god
Saw the Eat Em and Smile tour. Talk about a group of great musicians. Vai, Shennan, and Bissonnet could Rock together. I'm a drummer, and Greg is one of the best drummers I've ever seen live.
Fabulous person. Amazing musician. Dazzling live performer. Accomplished composer. A true pioneer.
hey I didn't know Andre Agassi was an interviewer!!
I wish I had his gift to play guitar... the guy is incredible
Stevie Vai is such a masterful guitarist. Not taking away from any great guitarist out there but Vai creates alot of instumental work. Not alot of air play but it's what he does. My guitar hero, Jeff Beck, paved the way for instrumental rock guitar. Beck could have joined a rock band and made a fortune but didn't want that. The Rolling Stones wanted Beck years ago.
Where did you hear that the Stones wanted Jeff Beck? I am just curious.
God Loves you and blesses you.
brother you sure have that right!! He will stop and talk to any fan hes just a great human being!! Hes a role Model so is Vai I mean I think Vai is a little I should say Eccentric but you know what he deserves and has the right!! Most people dont realize but Steve when he is not touring he is writing full compositions for the greatest Orchastra/Symphony in The World Hes a composer of all instruments and damned good!! When it comes to theory hes a master!!! Probably the best!!
I just cant get over the microphone.
Thanks very much, I have always found Steve to be a very open and very interesting guy. No exception here!
when DLR was in Fl. practicing, Steve was kind enough to talk to a friend of mine about guitar playing, etc.
I rarely like watching interviews...i liked this one. interviewer was great..asked simple straight to the point interesting questions..
You love him.
Interviewer actually asks some good questions.
He can play all of those 263 guitars at once.
Down to earth, interesting, honest...as always.
steve..one of the best..much love bro.!
STEVE VAI IS a GREAT GUITARIST
JOE DIRT not as good as Billy Joe tho
who is that?
Yo Mike Murphy~I know that I have seen this interview before because I remember your comment! Thanks for helping me navigate!
vai always comes across really well
Love the Vai.
Legend.
Wow, I can't believe all this stuff really goes on... but I will partake!
what a lovely interview
Lol he sure looks young for being around for the past four centuries lol
"You play the guitar since 3 -4 centuries..." lol
If only Steve Vai and Randy Rhoads could have been on one stage at the same time cutting heads and then jamming together. Damn.
man I watched crossroads about a million times as a kid..
Vai...come to Indonesia again will you...great show...
I love that heart guitar.
Steve Vai...interviewed by the host of Schprockets.
Mike Murphy deiter
Good interview.
I like this guy.
Steve Vai is yakked up big time here. He’s got big time cash register jaw going.
Journaliste is a genius... 1 question really engaging. God Job man :-(
Steve is magically gifted and brilliant
he and Dave both have reverse-sex-skeletal-structures
he can give me a guitar. love this interview.
I think crossroads need a sequel.... Crossroads Jack Butler Rising
Jack Butler Rising?!!! Best title to a sequel EVER!!
Wow he must have taught Mozart a thing or two having 2 to 3 centuries under his belt lol.
awesome!!.... Vai is one of the few americans that know the difference between south america and mexico which is north america as well
Great interview. Steve is such a good dude.
pause at 5:41 damn american werewolf in london hand. That's why he shreds so easily. just wraps around that skinny neck with room to spare.
Satche's Protege.. On fire.. Go Steve!
He is a busy man! Life is as you get older more so than young
Top bloke.
He was really asking also if Vai would score movies, that Is a road every serious pro should go down and have management actively working for movie tracks
By The way Petrucci taught you amazing man absolutely amazing!! He is a beaston guitar!! ive been playing on and off for 25 yrs mainly on as of the past 6 yrs or so. I had put the guitar down for a while and one day was like what am I doing. I had to buy a new Amp and that was it and 9 or 10 guitars later and many preamp and several Head Amps I just love to play. How well did taking lessons from Petrucci help you ??? Amazing Talent has come from NY just amazing!!
263 guitars! Now I don't feel so bad I've only got like 14 or 15 or something
wow! dude is living it
Where in this exactly is he talking about the wild parties? That's what I wanna know.
Ok Carle Place is this Long Island ? Because i know the whole story of Vai showing up at Joes with a busted guitar and strings when in school and Joe began to teach him. They play similar you can see Joes been the biggest influence on Steve yet they are unique. I noticed that Satriani never does Finger tapping and Vais an absolute master. Steves amazing my favorite of the 2 comes down to one song and Flying In A Blue Dream By JS I have to this day never heard something so emotional ever.
Okay Steve! Good Luck!
The heart guitar is currently in the Hard Rock Cafe in the vegas strip.
The interviewer looks like he's holding a miniature Buckingham Palace guard. 🙂
"Yeah, I remember " LMAO! "And 'member when you like took your guitar and shook it in the karate kids face?, member that?... That was awesome "
Nice interview!
Nice interview
please tell me what kind of amp you and frank used on black napkins and Lucille clean sound was awesome!
These guys are lucky to be alive
why do I have this feeling that vai didn't have a good night sleep before this interview? and OMG, his hands are big ...
this turtle neck guy is making Steve feel uncomfortable..
the worst question ever "how many guitars do you have?"...
The title is a teaser.......I was hoping for some dirt on those "wild parties w/DLR".
What is the song for the intro?
Vai awesome
orchestra, yes! you should see him CV it is a monster.
Reminds me of Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney on SNL
Steve rocks
Is it me or is a German in a black turtleneck such a lame stereotype, LOL. Sprockets!
Yeah, it's a lame stereotype, and a complete tasteless interviewer. What a way to waste an interview !
People who critisize others on how they look are pretty much kids. Who cares if hes wearing a turtleneck or not. How does it change his personality?
Yaz, dis is truz
Josh Done zay av ways of making u talk.
Bet your dumb ass can’t speak another language.
Roth Party stuff @ 2:40
He was bornJuly 15, 1956 (age 56)[1]Westbury, New York, United States Joes A New Yorker. But he Vai they both live in California.
"composing a symphony" Oh get him!
COME TO KY!
This is the time on Sprockets where we dance....
Steve seems real cool dude
He's a poser.
Greg Dolecki Greg is a nobody
Stevie! You have as many guitars as my wife has handbags! :-)
Last 4 or 5 centuries.. That explains why he has developed his skills to level impossible
You're one of the meager guitarists, I died laughing.
Beck's Gold!
wow ,those wild parties with Rth were great! I imagine it was the same thing my band was doing ,but a thousand times more,sounds like I would have loved it! I loved being kidnapped by sisters and having a boa constrictor in bed ,plus having a girl watching me and 3 others ........sleep. It was crazy,oh kicking in a huge aquarium and flooding a house,ect.!
steve vai is a guitar god. teeth of hydra
The interviewer completely reminds me of BRUNO!!!!
I never got the impression that Vai was a partier, or given to "debauchery" knowing he's actually a very spiritual guy, and has spent a lot of years cultivation his wisdom eye. Hmm. Maybe when he was younger he was still figuring it out.
Steve Vai's music is exhibition rock.
This interviewer would ask Picasso how many brushes he has.
Been playing for the last 4 centuries apparently..(so he did sell his soul at the crossroads)
He saw Satriani 20 years ago play live and Joe is like in his mind "wait how old are you again?" ...lol 😆 1:55
1:03 largalo Steve !
genio !!!!
DLR post-VH was everything to do with wild parties as opposed to putting out a record worth shitting on.
