Steve Vai - Incredible "Tender Surrender" - New York 2016

Saw him in Stockholm 2016, and you get completely blown away hearing/seeing him play live. Loved his skills since I was 9yrs old. Seems a real nice bloke too.

Ok,,,SV has no boundaries between technic and emotions,,,he's one with music, The Jimi Hendrix of the 21 century.

Instead of an entire 20-hour Tony Robins encouragement course, you have more empowering in these 7 minutes of music. You listen to this shit and you just feel you can do anything. It's amazing.

[@ovejanegra7355]

He's like John Bonham. He's not even an artist. There's an old South African saying that describes this perfectly. It goes a little bit like this. "Ik sal kakken op jou graf als Ik sou kick myn dog off his mum in a jiffy."

@@gskelton2937 I see the similarities but it's hard to figure out how you respect Kingdom Come when they were even less subtle about ripping off Led Zeppelin, who were quite brazen at ripping off others themselves. :S

[@mwbrada]

@@gskelton2937 most all of rock and roll has been ripping off blues musicians for decades, and they rarely give credit either. There's a reason Tom Petty never got butthurt and sued any artist's over alleged copyright infringement. The Beatles did it, Led Zeppelin did it, the list goes on and on ad nauseum. You can deny the song but there's no logical way to deny the talent.
