Vai.

hey I was just wondering what cd "Eugene's Trick Bag" is on. I can't find it anywhere! Also My teacher Told Me To Watch "Crossroads" Because that song is Played, but It Steve Vai In There? I rented the video but i havent watched it yet. And also was it Mozart who origannly wrote that?

Eugene's Trick Bag isn't on anything except the movie right now, though it will be in Vai's box set when it comes out. Vai is in the movie. He's the devil's guitar player. I think Mozart or Bach wrote the opening arpeggios he plays, but Vai took stuff from Paganini for the rest of the theme. It's a big mix of stuff.

Cool I love steve vai. I watched the movie last night and at the end it says that the song was "turkish dance" by mozart.

That wasn't turkish dance, turkish dance was the thing eugene played early. With the octave playing. Play this riff in octaves and you'll recognize it.
A B C#, A B C# B A G# F# B G# E

Is "Turkish Dance" what he plays in the class room? And what is he playing when he is praticing in his room?

I'm a young guy, and my parents won't let me watch R rated movies.

Is there anything bad in the movie to give it an R?

maybe a few bad words, nothing big.

The only real bad word is pusy. And maybe some sexual themes. But nothing awful.

Don't mean to be a *****, but what do you mean by sexual themes?

I've never heard of Vai until I started comming here.. What all has he done? Who was he with before he went solo? Thanx

------------------
Is it just me or does life suck? Maybe I suck and it just life? We shall never know...

He was with sammy hagar. And the only slight sexual theme is when he says "If you spent more time with your hands on the strings then on her ass." Thats not that bad but....

Vai started out in Berkley School of music in Boston. During his time there he sent Frank Zappa a transcription of a song that was almost un-transcribable. Zappa made him the 'stunt guitarist' in the band to do all the crazy fast hard stuff. Vai then went on to Whitesnake, Alcatrazz, and David Lee Roth, not Sammy Hagar. Passion and Warfare was his first solo album in 1990. There's an earlier album called Flexible, but it's just really weird. Still good - just really really weird. He's put out a number of albums since, the most recent one being The Ultra Zone. If you want to see some great Vai, along with his 'sidekick' Mike Keneally, buy the G3 live concert video and try not to fall out of your seat more than a few times.
