Steve Vai CBS Interview - Making Music

[@robibm2003]

Steve, if you ever met him, is a total mensch. It's great when good and talented people become successful. What he did is a good model for any aspiring young musician.

I have never seen this video. i've seen that picture of him from this video but i've never seen it haha. thanks for the upload

One of the most sincere interviews on what was effectively a start up business. Nice to know that determination and single minded passions can pay off. ( oh, and with a little help from a movie (crossroads), Zappa and being hugely talented.) I just wonder what would have been of Vai had KZbin and MySpace been around back then. Lost in the Tsunami of faces or still viable (no pun intended)?

This is brilliant. I didn't think any guitarist had his own record company, from back in the day. That is pretty punk rock

[@geezberry8889]

i bought the flexable cd back in the day after hearing my friends who had the record.

"i wanted to throw up forever." wonderful.

[@mgs316]

So this genius made 3 million on his first album because he went straight to distributors. I love him more now than ever.

[@Hornet85]

He's the first artist I heard who is honest about the shit the recording industry are doing. Those people are taking more money away from artist than they should be.

[@SP2333]

Win win

[@ScarletVoodoo]

Smart guy. Not for nothing, but his hands are freaking huge.

[@tallsmile28]

7.00 a cd? That is great business!

[@BJrok]

He's just being modest. He would have made it any other way.
