K I am sure some of you love this guy, he can play hella fast.

But,
He dresses like well, like I don't know. Platform shoes and giant fur coats with oakleys, classy real classy.
He constantly implies how amazing he is with out saying it outright. His guitar is ugly, but so practical with that cool handgrip.
Tight leather pants are pretty cool.

Man I can see this guy hating Mike McCready

    So what does the way he dresses have anything to do with him being a dick or not?

    Everyone has their own style. Nice to see you judge a book by it's cover.

  • judging by his shows either his manager or he himself thinks he's a god of some sort.

    Steve is actually a very nice guy, and aside from wardrobe issues, you'd feel like half a fag for calling him a dick if you ever met him.

    dude thats a ignorant comment calling the guy the biggest dick alive when im sure you've never even met him. I dont like his music but i wouldnt go making comments about him as a person.

    Ron Jeremy, should get the vote for people being alive.
    John Holmes, should get the vote for dead people.

    Steve Vai, hard to say. I've never seen his dick. Although a friend of mine pointed it out to me in one of his videos from the Passion and Warfare album. So I guess I have, but I've blocked it out of my memory. I only remember him going to hit the pause button....*shudder*

    "judging by his shows either his manager or he himself thinks he's a god of some sort."

    Yah its the fact that he acts like he is the greatest guitarist ever. I read a few articles of his, he really does seem like the biggest dick ever.

    The costume (which kinda goes with the theory he thinks hes some sort of god, he dresses like a comic book superheroe) is just shit icing on the dick cake :)

    THis is all kinda a joke, well I really think the guys an asshole. But not the worst human being on earth.

    He talks in one article about how there are 3 types of guitarists, the type he is the type that makes history. Wow conceded much? Funny thing is I had never heard of the guy before I started reading alot of guitar mags. Making history?

    I believe him to be the scott stapp of the guitar world. Except with 100x more talent than Stapp.

    I haven't met him, but it's up to him to make sure he is properly represented, wearing floor length fur coats, no shirt, leather pants and sunglasses, all the while constantly posing and talking about how amazing he is (sorry he just implies it), does not make me thinik he is any sort of nice guy.

    I have never heard mike mcready, or even guys like Slash for that matter say how great they are.

    To support my claims of assholishness I will find some wicked posing for you guys :)

    must be pretty cold in that metallic room, cause that fur coat looks ridiculous and severe cold is the only reason someone would wear it

    "His name is Stevie Vai...and he's a crazy guy.....this november I recall he needed a spanking..

    Hair brush...Ooh with a haaiir bruuush.....it's NOT that he requires grooooming..

    ...Guys with light blue hair...never doooooooooooo......"

    Lil' titbit of info as well, if you didn't know....it's Dweezil that plays the second guitar solo...(Vai the first!)

    Great song! Great Guitar player (although I must admit, I prefer the earlier - playing with Zappa - stuff!)

  • He's a lot better than that Malmsteen. Now there's an ego.
  • nailz100nailz100 Posts: 1,176
    Did you ever think that maybe he dresses that way just to get attention....I mean, he got yours didn't he? As for what kind of person he is...I'll let you know if I ever meet him.
    Only with our eyes closed can we truly see

    "Did you ever think that maybe he dresses that way just to get attention....I mean, he got yours didn't he?"

    Maybe this one charactertisitic of an asshole :)

    He got mine alright!! Then I started a thread about his dickishness, probably not the attention he was looking for. Then again all this did cause me to download a couple songs of his.

    I downloaded 5th symphony by him. I was not impressed. I downloaded a long solo of him and malmsteen together, and I heard the ridiculous speed, and lack of musical qualities in the solo. The speed was impressive still, but I swear Zakk Wylde plays just as fast. IS this the case?

    I would like Mike Mcready to bust out a souped up moonlight sanata at the end of black. That would be cool.

    "I'm not like, all over the guitar. I play half speed to these fuckin' other assholes, Steve Vai and whoever the new incarnation Mutant Guitar God is. And ya know, they're great, they're fast and more power to 'em. Fuckin' stock car racer guitar players, heh heh"

    "I'll tell you what: If all I had was Pearl Jam, and I didn't have another band in the world, I would not be worried. Because in there is the essence of making great music. You don't have to use it all at once, but it's there." - Neil Young

    Neil's excessive use of "heh, heh" amuses me. I'd say Neil is a much better guitarist than Vai, more modest too.

    Vai's sort of overrated, listen to somebody like John Mclaughlin instead.

    Mclaughlin destroys just about any guitarist who has ever walked the Earth. I wish he played electric more often...or could just suck it up long enough to to a Mahavishnu reunion :)

    Oh man, I had a copy the bootleg, session the Holy Grail. Long misplaced, but I still have the published version The Lost Trident Sessions.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

  • Could you sing one of his solos note for note? I can kind of sing a John Coltrane sax solo. He was faster than Vai and more harmonically sophisticated, so why doesn't Vai's stuff register? Answer? Because it doesn't really say much, perhaps?
  • Steve Vai is actually a really nice guy. From personal experience. Not by deciding he's an asshole because of how he dresses.
