...yet you are but of this earth. :lol: :LOL: :cry:
 
Guitar tone sounded too thin & trebly in the few segments I watched...
 
Watched it a couple days ago...he was great although I've seen other live videos of him that were more impressive IMO.
 
I heard Steve had a hair out of place in some scenes. Unacceptable.

Complete lies!!! His fan worked flawlessly, perfectly blowing his hair and blouse exactly as planned.
 
cranked on my surround sound - superb. OK, he's a little - silly
 
I saw it on AXS, too. One thing I took away is, dude, that's WAY too many costume changes. I'm
not sure if that's par for the course for him nowadays or if it was just for show since it was taped in
L.A. Some of his wardrobe choices were suspect, but hey, it's a form of entertainment for a select
group of men.

I thought Vai's tone was fine. Man, that guy can play. What's refreshing about him is that he doesn't
follow a strict pattern or scale (at least not to my ear) -- he's very inventive and creative.

I was also trying to figure out what Dave Weiner was plugged into - ha.
I saw two BE-100 heads and then another head I had never seen/heard of before. Looked like
he possibly was running the BE-100 in the middle and the one on the left was for backup.
 
You know, he adds campy showy kinda' goofy stuff - with the costumes, the harp player (?), and so on - but he can definitely back it all up with chops, and a unique approach. It is a show, after all. There's shoe-gazers and there's the makeup guys, and everyone in between. Player's a player. Thin tone? Wow, definitely not hearing that. Whoever that singer was, I thought that song rocked hard - I had to back it up and watch it twice.
 
Um...

All I can say is this - when a guy like Vai plays the guitar like he does - he can do anything he damn well wants to, in my humble opinion. He's an uber-guitar-god. He's responsible for "knighting" all other guitar-gods... He doesn't "play" guitar as much as he decides what form he wants it to take, and how it should speak, and what it should do.

If I could play 1/2 as well as Steve Vai, I'd be inclined to be dancing the Samba and doing cartwheels in public too.
