[@frontrowmusic]

Lyrics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now Stevie, now don't be nervous, honey, ok? I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna introduce you and then you're gonna come in with your guitar and you're gonna play that nice, nice music you were telling me about And while you're doing that, I'll be sitting in the back of the room We'll have such a good time, so don't be nervous honey It will relax everybody and we'll be so happy I'm gonna go now, I'll introduce you, ok? Heads up. Now you kids you, all of you, calm down That's good, ok Everyone in your own seats, that's good. Ok Now, little Stevie Vai is going to play a composition on the guitar He wrote it all by himself Ok. Stevie, bring your three friends up, they can play with you That Stevie Vai, what a nice little boy I wrote this song for all my friends When I grow up, I'm gonna be a famous rock 'n' roll guitar player Love it, eh, he, he, go ahead And that is my whammy bar. And it's gonna be loud Don't you think that's a bit loud? Boys! It's getting to loud! You're getting out of control, boys Stevie, now calm down class, calm down. Mr. Vai, you've gotta turn it down What did you say, you want me to turn it down? You mean down like this That sounds like noise, Mr Vai, and I want it stopped. You all got detention Uh, oh, here comes trouble Ayy, Vai, are you outta your mind? You guys, ya don't back off You must be crazy. I'm gonna flip out, I'm telling you If this is my final flip out, you guys are gonna go with me Ah, shut up Will you two stop dancing like that Frankie, leave that girl alone. We're not gonna have another incident like Mildred Come here to me Vai, don't you hear me? Come here you little snit Wait 'till I get my hands, don't run away Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, Vai. Knock it off. Get off my desk Hey Andrea, check this out Oh, Stevie, you promised me you'd play nice music People out of control, dancing on the desks, playing with girls That awful noise just makes people go wild You gotta turn that music down, Stevie, please I'm fearless in my heart They will always see that in my eyes I am the passion I am the warfare I will never stop Always constant, accurate, intense Mark my words, you'll never amount to anything, Steve Vai You'll see, you'll be a bum, in the streets A bum, that's it, a bum I thought you were such a nice little boy You know what? Your mean, you got a mean, nasty, vicious streak Why don't you just quit school? Move to California with all those other bums Go, that's where you belong, with all those crazies out in California Maybe you'll become famous, ha That's the funniest thing I've ever heard You, famous? With that noise? ha, I'll see you in jail. Give me a break, Stevie, stop it You'll see, mark my words

[@kernelxsanders]

Fun fact, Steve got one of his elementary school teachers to record the dialogue

[@andremorgado2142]

What a long piece of bullcrap!!!

[@SkunkBearTK]

What a fucking band. I dont know what it is, but Billy and Steve together just seem to find a new level, even above their already stratospheric abilities. And that level is extremely entertaining.

[@xavilend]

And Tony Macalpine there too, absolute titans!

[@bowriverblog]

Billy and Steve together is pure musical magic 🤙🤙🤟🤟🤟

[@stevenandrean2661]

Human Rights and Democracy WIN. 🤟🤟🤟

[@IamPJb]

Steve Vai is so badass even his hairs move in slow motion

[@TaskerStreete]

Love it! So true.

[@kmohlal4876]

I love how seamlessly Tony moves from keys to guitar and back again...Steve really knows how to pick em'

[@harrie974]

That Seve Vai, what a nice little boy😉

[@stretchhfab7315]

I remember being 14 and hearing this song for the first time. Changed my life and how I learned and played.

[@fusiblee072]

[@mercem3272]

wondering if you play it on a 6 or 7 string, it looks like steve’s playing a 6 in this but i can’t find tabs on it

[@kevinbenyard9376]

Steve's never makes mistakes on his guitar or recording! Wow!

[@dogleg7401]

Just the best. Vai, Sheehan, and MacAlpine.

[@DekkarJr]

Sheehan is a straight up killer on the bass.

[@markanthony1363]

And Weiner

[@stefangebhardt396]

And what is mit Ritchie Blackmoore?

[@JamieCarter-wv8rp]

My best choices...Steve, Joe Satriani, Billy, then Tony.

[@adamwhite1977]

Love this Vai lineup 👌🏼

[@DekkarJr]

yea i love how into they are as well as being amazing at their respective instruments it's difficult to match Vai's onstage energy and fit in with him if your not going nuts like they are :D

[@marxvillegas]

Are these really Tony McAlpine and Billy Sheehan? So-awesome!

[@MisuCHACA]

AGUANTE CHACA Y STEVE VAI

[@jasonbates2687]

I had the pleasure of seeing Steve and Billy together on the DLR Eat 'em and Smile tour back in '86. Sonic bliss.

[@robbyb6380]

Vai playing more notes in 7 minutes then I do in a week.

[@ismaelserpa]

😂

[@ismaelserpa]

@robbyb6380 😂

[@barryseen]

Yeah but (un)fortunatelly music is not finger's bodybuilding roftl. Instead pauses has a high power if u use them as intended. Pure shredding can go well at a tech preparation level but absolutelly not to do music (as a final product)

[@jonybarra5677]

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

Now that's a bass player you don't make bass player jokes at! Full force, groovin' Rock!

[@van_trippin5260]

he is a scientologist! the jokes about him are too many to list. great bass player, c..t of a human

[@AdamDallas]

This was Vai's best live line up by a LONG shot. Passion and Warfare is such a quintessential guitar album. So many layers and so much going on. I'm overdue for a listen

[@JesusGonzalezPR]

For me, this is the best Vai band line-up.

[@frankhenstein]

Y Mac Alpine con la camiseta de Chacaritaaaaaa.... !!!!

[@veritasastro]

The legendary performance 👁

[@JasonBeck-rf5lk]

Absolutely amazing. Any time I start thinking that I’m a pretty good guitarist. I listen to Steve and remember how far I have to go.

[@Six3rdy]

I've never heard someone play the bass like a guitar and make it sound this awesome. 😮😮😮 This is not meant to be backhanded in any way. It's just........this man took something which is arguably seen as taboo......and turned it into a legit superpower. He also played the bass like a bass player. I was mainly talking about his solo.

[@gaston_funebrero]

AGUANTE CHACAAAAAA 🇾🇪🙌🏻🇦🇷

Какие хорошие глазки ударника при начале композиции....ура

[@374jr]

I’ve loved this song from the day I heard it back in like 97-8. I fell in love with rock music right there & then. Thank you Steve Vai. My favorite guitarist of all time.

[@AdrianoRocha-z4o]

Muito legal!!!.

[@hencakk]

Saw Steve with DLR at Donington in ‘88, then again at the seminal Astoria gig in ‘03

[@MaJaN666]

The Moment in @1:08 is just magical

Fkn mad ... love this shitttttt

[@tiaanengelbrecht]

The first time I ever saw this I didn't even notice Tony MacAlpine, and I'll never forget how hard I laughed at the absolutely random guy jumping in from the side, ripping a massive solo, and skips back away seconds later

[@metalhead7222]

I Was There.🎸🎸🎸✨

You have extra life points my friend

[@eduferreno7011]

Steve Vai's hands are massive.

[@roberttyler1206]

I can't wait to see him and Joe.

[@alexsherel3344]

I can HEAR the teacher saying “Steve ohhh mah GAWWWD”…..

[@benjamindixon4825]

[@lubaaudio]

Billy and Steve. Nothing else needed to say (though the entire band is fucking awesome)

My first time to hear this…

[@forrest4trees08]

What year is this from? I just saw him in SLC last week. He is much older now. Great show with Satriani!

[@mrbean3470]

2005. It is from the G3 Live in Tokyo DVD. Worth picking up at a vintage stock if you can find it. John Petrucci is killer on it.

[@naokicanak2-guitarist-906]

なんか見たことあるなと思ってたらDVD持ってたっていうね。ラック見たら普通にあって懐かしくてたまらなくなりましたよ。

Do you have Whitesnake 1984-1985 material?

[@arito4687]

[@igorshouse5397]

Tony Macalpine on keyboard and guitar?? Is that him??

[@DekkarJr]

God I love his tone... too bad those guitars of his are so expensive XDDD I also love how Vai always tours with the beyonce style hair fan in the front XD - keeps ya cool under those hot ass stage lights too

I broke my wrist trying to play this freeking jam to hell. Recquured surgery and a few months recovery. Best time of my life😂

[@colinerikstanhouse6385]

Billie is so fkn good, it makes Steve envious ! 🤣

[@patrickgray3796]

Whats the name of the bass player?

[@mynameisnotbob941]

Billy Sheehan. One of the baddest bass players on the planet.

[@АндрейСавинкин-я2ч]

That Jessee guy from breaking bad' can really play guitar eh 😮

Vai calm but Sheehan more energic on the stage... balance..

Is that Tom Morello on the end?

[@miraclestudio9167]

I feel so sad for Billy's bass guitar. He plays every fret in every string😂😂
