Steve Vai (feat. Devin Townsend) - Still My Bleeding Heart (Live)

[@damon665]

Crazy how Devin's voice is better today than ever

[@awake-am-i-music]

Right?! Most people's voices age for the worse, especially if they're self-taught like he was. But his got stronger and even more versatile with time.

[@roxylindholm5179]

When Steve sent Devin to a vocal couch, that vocal coach told Devin, that his vocal style won't last for more, than three more years.

[@Dirtypandasan]

Yeah, amazing technique does that :)

[@lordofmorgul]

who's that strapping young lad at the mic?

[@MattFoleysGhost]

Steve Vai's singer. He was into some pretty heavy drug abuse with caffeine at the time. Last I heard he was playing dives like Royal Albert Hall. Such a shame.

To think that odd bald man would come to be one of the greatest metal musicians the world has ever seen.

For the first time ever, im having the realization that like honestly, thats usually how it starts haha Bald crazy guy.

[@lostperfection05]

The crazy thing for me is that he wasn't even bald yet, but shaved everything. He went on to have a full head of long hair on top before the male pattern kicked in.

[@craigharrison5406]

what kind of look are you going for? Devin: A celtic monk from the middle ages

[@guitarguru1758]

This was Vai's best shit ever. Sex and Religion is the most under appreciated CD of his catalog.

It really was a solid album despite his constant referral as a failure.

[@fdabvc.]

Amazing album ❤️🔥🤘🏻

[@psychedelicfright85]

The bassist is a pretty damn talented guy as well.

[@BrianLTanner]

I agree. Devin Townsend made Steve’s music almost like a “regular” rock band.

[@BobK5]

[@Chicklo11]

Yes.

I'm pretty sure he sold his soul to the devil, maybe to work with Steve Vai? (might be worth it) and as a result doesn't age

This is Devin Townsend feat. Steve Vai. What a genius!

[@richardbinder9662]

I saw Devon and Steve at the Station just north of Orlando FL in the mid 90's. Awesome show. I had never heard of Devon. He came out wearing adult polka dot pajamas resembling a Wonder bread bag and Steve with M&M pants. Devon's range blew me away. Then on top of that, halfway through the set, he picks up a guitar and keeps up with Steve. Holy six strings !

WHAT A VOICE DEVIN

[@savagetilley2782]

This was a super group. Vai.. Townsend.. BOZZIO on the kit. Ughh so good.

[@stratcat2k]

I loved this album when it came out, and I loved Devin's work on it. I gotta admit this is some crazy-ass take on this song. It almost has a freaky P-Funk or maybe early Chili Peppers vibe going on (maybe Oingo Boingo?) with all the percussionists and decidedly not rock-band instruments (standup bass?? WTF?). Vai has said that this album was a difficult time in his life, filled with influences that were uncomfortable, and it certainly shows in his playing and the disconnect in the performance.

Primus used a stand up bass, they've written some fairly loud, heavy rock songs

[@mfdrake]

This is a great song with a strong groove and melody. Powerful. Definitely has the Vai touch. Love hearing it with all of this orchestration going on, even if the performance was fraught with tension as it apparently was. Must have been one hell for the sound guy to mix.

[@daryl142003]

this is awsome, you'll never stuff like this on the late night shows these days

[@timp2608]

I lucked out and got to see this version of the Vai band in a little bar in Detroit on this tour. Even caught a guitar pick from Steve. Have carried it in my wallet every day since. Devin played note for note with Steve on the guitar all night! His vocals were also stellar !!!! Such an odd album that worked in so many ways!!! Steve can play, but needs to leave the vocal duties to those that can deliver. You can sing better than me Steve, but please stop and leave it to the extremely gifted ones that you cross paths with.

[@TruthSurge]

He missed two callings.... starring in the remake of The Hills Have Eyes. ? and being that singer that sang "how can we sleep with the world is turning?" Beds Are Burning. that's the song I think. What band was that? dammit. one hit and I forGIT. midnight oil. ok. Had to look it up, dammit.

[@ramenaw]

@@mutleyeng kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKrXpqGmaL9rkK8si=nCWy3hd0xKSUe9b- He can but he doesn't enjoy how it sounds. He used to practice it constantly when he was younger, he loved the guitar legends like Steve and Yngwie. But I guess it just never ended up fitting in the music he wanted to make. I can take back that he shreds like Steve if you want, it was more so just a comment on how far Devin has come as a musician, from being Steve Vais guitar henchman.

Impresionante. Les pide ver en directo en Barcelona cuando salió el álbum. Fue increíble. Creo que Devin continuó el estilo musical de Vai desde el punto de vista religioso...o como el alma se manifiesta en la música claramente en algunas de sus composiciones. Devin se ha centrado en esa manifestación del alma, en ese carácter religioso. Su musica eleva el alma. Y eso era lo que me gustaba tanto y me gusta de Vai.
