Steve Vai - For the Love Of God - Live in Bristol 6-2022

[@bufordteejustice1119]

I saw Steve Vai in Baltimore about ten years ago. He was amazing as always. He did a meet and greet after the show. While he was signing my stuff, a guy asked him what the secret to his playing is. Steve said " there is no secret. Just practice twice as much as you think you need to."

[@oyikk]

"Just practice twice as much as you think you need to." >> LOVE IT!

Back in the days I bought ”Passion And Warfare” (on CD) and heard, for the first time, ”For the Love of God”. Up to this day it’s still one of the most beautiful guitar pieces ever written. ❤️🤩

[@MaartenVHelden]

I had the LP. I was completely mesmerized by two songs at that time: Crushing Day by Joe Satriani and this one. My goodness, such excellent pieces of musicianship. The best I have ever heard.

[@evgenysemenov6051]

“Tender Surrender” is higher level, much more difficult.

[@ParduzTube]

I'm a keyboard player, and never liked the the hardest side of rock, so i did'nt know who Steve Vai was, but when i heard this song in a music store i felt in love, for the writing and the arrangment even before the tech skills.

[@sirotahaggen]

Totally agree. I had the same experience with Vai through this song.

[@DavidSmith-vc5rn]

I agree,I bought this CD in the 8th grade,and still listen to the CD,and play the songs on guitar,For the love of God is a great song to play.

[@joellillejord1848]

This song connects me to my younger brother whom passed away 16 years ago.

[@user-kn3on9ox1w]

When he was playing in Prague few years ago? I cried. That´s how divine his music is. For me he´s the ultimate master of the electric guitar. THE master

[@sleepymarauder4178]

After so many years of playing it is still about the music with him.

[@egmjag]

One of my favorite songs of all time. I can never get tired of listening to this song. Every time I listen to it, I want to cry. Steve must have been expressing something profound in his life when he composed this.

[@ajanpursikonna1131]

He told in one small interview that this melody was given to him... not by any human though.

[@juicytones]

I saw an interview and he said that when he was recording this song he was in the middle of a water fast, day 5 or so, and that the melody was given to him as previous poster stated. Id say that he was pretty raw, emotionally and spiritually at that moment.

[@rustytime]

Love instrumentals but I think there's something about lyrics people "relate" to. I only listen to some. I used to wonder how someone could not like a great song 👉then finally, I understood when achey breaky heart got really popular. The most simple songs are the ones the majority seem to like... but they can't really like music or maybe... don't even hear music the same way 🤔

[@onesong2001]

@RustyG57 Achey Breaky Heart was popular because it was pushed by mainstream media, which is like a fast-food joint for music. Connoisseurs don't go there.

[@bvyup2112]

thats what impresses me most about these types of virtuosos. Many people can play Beethoven, but to remember the pieces must be something else.

[@humanbeing2420]

I disagree. He wrote the song. He came up with all of the notes and parts himself - naturally he's going to be able to remember them all. Steve Vai is one of the world's greatest guitarists and he's an amazing musician overall - he does lots of incredible things, but remembering his own songs is not one of them.....
