For those who don't know, Ralphie has to "fight" Vai to get the old fellow's soul back. The gent in the black suit is, of course, the Devil.
The slide bits are Ry Cooder, and both "classical" parts are Steve Vai (who cutely assured a guitar mag that he did intend to make the mistakes.) To his credit Vai also acknowledged that he learned as much from watching Ry Cooder warming up as he did at Berkeley.
Crikey!
I'm speechless.
Ulp!
I'm mortified.
This is even better...
Oh dear, must you ?
Are those stack-heeled boots as well ?
Does anyone
remember the old NME headline re Freddy Mercury - 'Is this man a prat?'
I'm sure that entire orchestra...
... are desperately holding in some powerful hoots of derisive laughter...
My response stretches to one simple word.
Why?
Or even...
Yngwhy?
What a road of..
..clap.
Where's
his coat? Someone pass it to him............ please.
It's the stunt guitar equivalent of
Evel Kneivels Snake River Canyon leap.
While we're being OTT
I always have a soft spot for this...

Also, the Yng wouldn't get near it....
Is this an example of
complete bollocks?
No...
It is complete and utter bollocks
I think henceforth he should be known as...
Shred Basset.
Oh Dear......
Ye Olde Wag of Bank.....
Every time the camera cuts away
It's so you can't see the brass section making "wanker" signs behind his back.
YJM is ver good at playing blindingly fast arpeggios and all the other axe-tricks.
He's a shite guitarist, though.
It just reminded me of this
without the Japanese orchestra obviously
Well, the thi...
...ohh, I just came, sorry.
Hilarious
Pure Nigel Tufnell, innit…
Nailed to the shelves...
A triumph of technique over taste...
...and why is it that poodle permed lead guitarists only play solos on the highest notes of their guitars?
its a good example of why "more is less" when it comes to guitar
but why is he dressed like King Charles II? God, I hate this sort of pompous self indulgent shite with a vengeance.
Why the mockery?
I believe that to have been a stunning and emotive piece of playing.

Watch it again.
I think this is totally brilliant.If you don't have a grin as wide as the cheshire cat's after watching this...

Oh, Christ…
… there's two of 'em.
