Oct 21, 2008 - how the fuck does he get that sound from his trem bar at 2:44. That makes no sense to me at all

petiethepitt Says:

Oct 22, 2008 - Its called a flutter bar,you release yor trem arm quickly so it pops back to 0.With the oposing tension from the strings and the springs on a floating trem it vibrates extremly quickly,basicly flutters.Can only be done with a floating trem though.

Oct 23, 2008 - you have to slap the bar.. and the vibrations from the trem will make that sound you cant shake it or move it quick enough to make the sound... doing that can damage your guitar though.. vai doesnt have to worry a bout that though since he's sponsored lol

timetopaythepiper Says:

Oct 23, 2008 - technically he's better than half of the people you just named... but technicality means shit in guitar.. its all about what you like...

Oct 23, 2008 - If we ever have to send someone to space to communicate with Aliens it has to be Steve Vai....squeeeeeeeel.

Oct 26, 2008 - jimmy page and evh and jimi hendrix is the one who produce heavy metal sound and rock.you cannot say he is better than jimmy, evh, jimi because look at the stairway to heaven best song and eruption tapping and voodoo chile withnout this people no one can produce sounds.

ampwarmers Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - are the one who trying to imply me?

rockergod789 Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - Are you kidding me? Jimi was a poser! I will say that Steve Vai is much better than anything jimi could have cranked out in his life. By the way, jimi died when he overdosed on drugs and passed out and drowned in his own puke, so BITE ME!

rockergod789 Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - At 0:21, that smile he makes is not normal. still a good song, though!

petiethepitt Says:

Oct 27, 2008 - I dono about that bro,Steves Tapping and legato are lihgt years better than E.V.H.,and his techique and vocabulary are now and have always been better than Page,lol,Bottom line is in my opinion nobody you mentioned could touch Steve Vai,Try guys like Shawn Lane,Holdsworth,Gilbert,guys like that,ya might as well say Angus Young is better as well.

IMAGB4U Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - ? So who's better? Buckethead or Steve Vai. Maybe two different types of articulation of sounds but great musicians they are. Now who's better ?

rockergod789 Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - Steve Vai hands down.

ivo91777 Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - he looks like the termonator

petiethepitt Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - I would never say any guitarist within reason is better than another at this level.Steve is my fav guitarist hands down,Bucket head is fantastic player but in neo classical style Shawn Lane would have Spanked the both of em,Along with YJM,,lol.But seriously its all subjective and boils down to nothing more than opinions.Thats the only real fact when comparing who's better than who.But obviously within reason though.

IMAGB4U Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - I don't know about that bro. Shawn Lane is a legend with speed R.I.P but I believe you should have included Dimebag D also R.I.P Why do great individuals always have to leave early?

petiethepitt Says:

Oct 31, 2008 - Agreed,Dimebag was just sick,and it sure does seem the very best of them(my opinion)have all been taken way before there time.S.Lane,Dimebag,Rhoads,Zappa,S.R.V.,Jeff Healey,J.H.,All truly missed.And thanx for mentioning D.D.,I thought that man was simply amazing..R.I.P.,Dimebag,,,Peace bro..

Nov 4, 2008 - "terminator" is the correct way to spell that i inconsiderate non-intellect life form.

Cazaq Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - The riff and the whammy horse scream are just so heavy.

rockergod789 Says:

Nov 11, 2008 - Personally, i'm not a fan of buckethead (no flaming!) because i didin't really attach to the heavy killswitch use. I did NOT grow listening to all of those shitty nursery rhymes. I grew up to the tune of Metallica. I remember singing the lyrics to One in Kindergarten and got a timeout for intrest in non age apprpriate music. Steve Vai, to me, is like Metallica on steroids!

MasterHeadbanger92 Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - That is how you spell it phoneticly with Arnold Schwarzeneggers accent.

Botdra Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - Wow, someone has issues. Don't yell at someone who can't spell "Terminator" when you can't even spell "you". "i inconsiderate non-intellect life form"Why yes, you are an inconsiderate non-intelligent life form, thank you for stating that.

scienceguyJ Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Yeah I agree. I mean they have both maxed their 1337 Hax0R Epic skills on a guitar.

Goynes42 Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Pretty much the heaviest riff ever played with a slide.

karpala1 Says:
