Rating: Summary: THIS VIDEO IS THE EPITOME OF PASSION AND PERSONALITY!!! Review: Any fan of Steve's should love this! (Especially if you are a woman! Hint. Hint!)I am absolutely breathless watching this video! Yes the other reviewers are right about the fact that it isn't a live show. But check it closely, watch his fingers--he is playing in perfect synchronization to the music! Great cinematography! Great music! Great expression of PASSION AND PERSONALITY!!! Steve's the MAN! All of the video clips are awesome but TENDER SURRENDER will knock any woman with blood running through her veins flat!! The man is hot! Pam is one lucky woman! I would recommend to the major fans getting the DVD because it has interviews of Steve; the VHS does not. Also, watch this (either version VHS or DVD), until the end. There is a personal note from Steve. I think he is awesome in this! I truly believe you will NOT be disappointed! Trust me please! Also, you have to get his newest CD, 7th Song: Enchanting Guitar as well as G-3 Live in Concert! Enjoy! I always do! Keep rockin' Steve!
Rating: Summary: Buy the CD not the DVD Review: As mentioned in other reviews, Steve Vai is indeed a virtuoso on guitar, however, this is a staged concert and is not live. What a disappointment. To see some of Via's frantic fretboarding, check out the G3 DVD. Excellent and LIVE!
Rating: Summary: Hidden Pictures Review: Go through the discography screen by screen, and every time you see a cover of one of his records, press the "Arrow Up" key followed by the "Enter" key. This will bring up images of Steve, his band or even alternative cover artworks for the respective albums.
Rating: Summary: STEVE VAI THE MAN GUITAR Review: I AM FAN OF STEVE VAI. HE IS THE BEST GUITARIST OF THE WORLD LOSING ONLY FOR JOE SATRIANI.
Rating: Summary: Not bad at all Review: I can't complain about this one. Why? Because of how cheap it is. The audio is great and the video (something no CD has) gives you the chance to see Steve at work. So what if he's only guitar-synching.
Rating: Summary: Poor Video For A Great Album Review: I don't know what Steve Vai was thinking with this collection of video performances of each of the songs from Alien Love Secrets. Tthe album is one of my favorites, possibly his best but this video is a huge disappointment. The picture quality is grainy at best and looks like an old seventies porn film. Steve Vai and the band wear the blue/silver make-up he wears on the cover of the album. They looked silly. The lighting and sets are dismal. There isn't a set to speak of they just perform in front of black cloth backgrounds. I saw the G3 concert after Eric Johnson left and Kenny Wayne Sheppard had joined them. Steve was by far the most dynamic on stage and this video captures that which is a plus, although some of the faces he makes are pretty goofy. The performances are entertaining though. The extras weren't bad and the sound quality was as good as the CD. The band is obviously playing to dubbed music which was really distracting and felt a little phony, but Steve uses quit a few instruments and over dubs on the albums so it's probably hard to perform the songs live. This isn't a bad DVD but it isn't up to Steve Vai's usually perfectionist standards. I would only recommend it to Steve Vai fans who want a complete collection. I'm looking forward to seeing something with better production qualities.
Rating: Summary: Milli Vanili eat your hearts out Review: I must apologise for what I am about to say as I am a huge Vai fan. But I was a little upset by the fact that there was no warning whatsoever that the performances captured on this DVD were not live recordings. Three guys making the motions whilst a CD is playing in the background is hardly fair to fans who appreciate real music played on real instruments by real people. I know a lot of fans will jump on me hard for this but I consider it an abomination for an artist who has yet been spoiled by the trappings of the plastic pop world to produce such an effort. I only hope it was an oversight and will never happen again. Over the video release the DVD does have the added optional feature of Vai's commentry over the tracks which is sometimes insightful, but overall you are really not getting more than the CD (which, by the way, is great)
Rating: Summary: Better than MTV Review: I thought the video was great,I have just recently had the pleasure of seeing Steve for the first time 10-26-99. And let me say Vai is worth paying any amount to see just to keep him on the road.Vai is also an inspiration,I took my two boys to see him and he informed everyone he is drug free,just imagine what he could do if he wasn't?
Rating: Summary: There is no live performance on this DVD Review: I was very exicted to get this DVD, Im a great fan of Vai but it is fair to be warned: Vai is just acting. He is not really playing the guitar, the music you hear is exactly what you hear on the CD. How can a great musician agree to do something like this? It must be the label.
