Steve Vai and Nuno Bettencourt-Yankee Rose at Lucky Strike Live

[twonabomber]

And then some Hendrix with Vai, Tom Morello, Richie Kotzen, and Stu Hamm!

Saw a subset of this group at Generation Axe here in SD a few months back - Via, Bettencourt, Zakk Wylde, Yngwie, Abasi - mind-melting and these guys are all just cool as shit. Having Morello there would have been the icing on the cake.

I watched that earlier this afternoon. It was fun!

Steve vai is still cool as fuck

The Singer™ did a good job with Yankee Rose. Sounded totally Roth authentic... straining to hit high high notes when he had no business venturing out that far in the sonic range!!

F'ing AWESOME. Thanks so much for posting.

Refreshing to watch great guitarists working, playing anywhere and everywhere, having fun and constantly writing new music and pushing their boundaries......

Scary how good these guys are -- and probably without much, if any, rehearsal.

Pure and dedicated musicians.

And having met Steve and Nuno at a couple of meet and greets -- two of the nicest, cool and thoughtful guys you could meet.

I hope all Vai fans caught Steve and Stephen Colbert at the Kennedy Center jam and ride out of Life in the Fast Lane. Absolutely epic (and hilarious).

If the EEAS band are getting back together this year, Vai hasn't started rehearsing yet...

[vandeleur]

I don't know about that but watching vai and the casual nature of it gave me a bit of hope that a reunion gig could happen.
