Steve Vai - "For The Love Of God" - G3 1996

[@davew8988]

Back in 1980 I married the most beautiful woman, with such a loving and caring personality. We had a blessed life together for 31 wonderful years. When I met her she was very much into soul and disco music, where as I was into rock (all genres). She never moaned about anything especially my love of rock. In all the 31 years, where she had to listen to my music, this was as she put it to me, the most wonderful and amazing track the she had heard be playing (usually at full volume!!). Sadly in early 2011 she passed away (after a short illness) in my arms. For The Love of God by Steve Van was played at her funeral at her request together with Evergreen by Barbra Streisand. RIP Christine xx

Same here. I also watched it at 14. And I'm also 30ish. I remember the exact moment I first watched this at a record store. I remember the surroundings, the colors, everything.

[@anime536_8]

TheSlasherGod yes vai did fast for 10 days to prepare him physically/emotionally/spiritually for the recording of the song cause he kept making mistakes during the recording part, that run at 6:16-6:21 was the trouble, but finally after 10 days of fasting he got that right and in the original P&W album, u can hear him say the word YES!, although barely audible at that 6:21 part of the song, because he got through the hill and everything was easier after that, we have to take note that FTLOG was still being recorded and steve was still trying to master the song... anyway he plays it now like its easy cause he's mastered it

as a guitar player myself, this composition is timeless, Steve composition up until this day, seems like some sort of an Alien, magnificent and amazingly performed. No wonder he is considered a Virtuoso and has been inducted in the hall of fame. I have been a fan of him for many years and saw the G3 tour twice, and it always amazes me how good he is. I have also followed his interviews, and seems to be a very down to earth tpe guy, with hungry for knowledge. He said it himself, if you want to be come a virtuoso, you gotta focus, believe and put in the work. Very Inspiring type of individual.

First heard Vai nearly 20 years ago. Still floors me to this day. Have yet to find a guitarist that I think is better overall. His technical prowess is top notch. His runs are highly creative. His sound is completely distinct. And he throws all of himself into a performance. Add in the various stories from the days of him taking lessons from Satrianni or working with Zappa, and how naturally music came to him and it's hard to think of a person more talented in terms of both natural abilities and dedication. There's Vai and then there's everybody else.

Mangini! Man-genie! :D He is just perfect in this song, and how he manages to pick up all the right little nuances in the song. I know, that it may sound boring to someone how he plays, but it's pretty damn far away from boring if you pay attention to it. And how great he is nowadays in Dream Theater. Wow.
