Steve Vai - Bad Horsie (London, Palladium 07/06/2022)

[@COTG666]

The world's best stunt guitarist. Vai can do more techniques in one song than most guitarists can do in a lifetime.

[@ChavisFlagg]

I can honestly say this guy knows every trick in the book

[@chameleon-dream-band-official]

The only thing that amazes me more than Steve's playing is the fact that his guitar stays in tune after all his whammy acrobatics!

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

Quality worn in strings and a quality floyd rose with locking nuts.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

Its all about breaking in them strings.Once the strings are stretched out, my EVH standard stays in tune no matter how hard I am on the wammy bar.I had to tune the g string once in a week cuz it went a little flat.I bet Steves guitar tech changes the strings after every 3rd or 4th show, just to maintain the tone brilliance.

[@tedvincent50]

@@xXAlmdudlerXx And quality Thomas Nordegg's awesome work. Steve will not due a show without Tommy there.

[@impasceticfinalp2923]

It's a double locking trem, locking both nut and saddle. He helps Ibanez develop it for him to be able to use it like that.

[@byronmcdonald6613]

We music lovers have to cherish this man’s genius. He carved out a niche for himself that no one can deny

[@Touk1-u7i]

The truth is that even professional musicians 100% make mistakes on stage, but this guy doesn't, that's how good Vai is.

Practice at least 10 hours a day for 30 40 Year maybe you can

So glad Vai is doing live shows again wow after the injury he had.

Wow. For a man in his mid-seventies, he’s tearing it up! Keep rockin!

He's 62

It's quite incredible that he's still playing guitar into his thousands !

Still got the chops at 62. Highly impressive!

[@briantreadgold525]

This was a real highlight for me at the Glasgow gig - always loved this and to hear the band play it live was simply amazing. This song has such groove

[@merlesmith6794]

A musical treasure and an inspiration.

Thanks for this! Going to his gig at Pustervik in Gothenburg sat 18:th; so stoked, seems like it can be one hell of a gig!

G.O.A.T.

He could be famous one day

[@mayjowish]

I love he still does the start of the song with a video of the guitar duel from crossroads

[@erichhitchcock3368]

I tried, once again, to be "amazed"...he just does not do it for me. I liked the material with DLR back when, saw the first tour. I then ran out and bought "Flex-able," and was expecting something different. "Passion & Warfare" sounded too processed. I think it's why I'm not into Satch any more either...too processed, and "see what I can do." Oh well.

[@hesch-tag]

what you need is a large dose of Hendrix. You'll be right as rain in no time.

[@BenjaminRichardCraig]

Amazed? This ones in the balls. No amazement just balls

[@grtxyz4358]

It’s not the worlds best tone, however it is recognizable as the Vai tone, just as Satch has that huge midrange sound. And just as with other greats like EVH, it doesn’t really matter what he plays on, currently it’s the Synergy preamp, but it doesn’t sound any different than before 😄 Satch has the catchy singalong melodies and Vai has some cool groovy warfare riffs… besides the obvious fretboard fireworks

[@tedvincent50]

Have you seen either Him or Joe live? You really gotta see them both in a small venue to appreciate their talent.

[@magnuszetterqvist5936]

In what world?

[@jamesnorton7601]

No way! Ed was in the song writing business. Steve's in the guitar business. Two different worlds. And if you think Ed was scared of anyone on the fretboard. He wasn't. He appreciated it. No one sounded like Ed

VAI is not ZAPPA . JEFF BECK. JIMI. Or ROBERT FRIPP . VAI falls short as a Composer. As many players do. That's the Seperation among the Greats.

[@bingowings65]

@@blu3fire243 Yeah I've played guitar for years. I just dislike it when a player displays technical ability over and above the music. Same with Yngwie Malmsteen and his spandex torturing and destruction of Bach. I find mindless finger twiddling boring, but that just me. If this is your thing - fine, who I'm I to say otherwise.
