Ok... this guy has been around Steve so much that his voice timbre and cadence have morphed into an image of Steve himself😮. I swear the first 30 seconds could have convinced me I was listening to Steve...

I will tell a little about my experience yesterday at the metropolitan theater...Absolutely everything was amazing, every song was unreal, truly amazing. After the concert I went with my best friend to the back exit of the Metropolitan Theater hoping to see him one last time after for the love of god...however Steve had a very nice surprise for us...even after the show, his incredible tour and even after giving his all on stage He stopped the transport and went down to greet us, hug us and sign shirts, guitars, guitar back covers (my case... and he also kept my bookmark hahaha incredible)❤ ...beyond the figure he projects as an artist, he is a loving person, very humble and wise...that is what has made him go so far accompanied by his incredible talent and virtuosity...That's Steve vai... Thank you very much teacher *we'll see you in Berklee*

When you’re around Steve so much that you even start to speak and have mannerisms very similar to him. Love it.

[BenJeva]

He looks like Steve and even has some of his mannerisms. You can tell they spend a lot of time together.

This young tech is a great addition to the team. Well done Steve, young blood as you were with Frank back in the day !

[Mr.Goldbar]

I wish this was filmed as a sequel to Visual Sound theories! the DVD that made me play guitar :)

So cool! I absolutely love rig rundowns like this

[danielluna]

Doug is such a nice person !
He gave me Steve’s set list from the Vegas House of Blues show in September!
Didn’t get the set list from next night in Phoenix, but I tried .
We hung out and waited for Steve cuz he told us Steve would come out and say hello before they left .
Nice person for the tip and list .

[jmilillomusic]

This is gold. Thank you for sharing this with us, Steve!

Awesome video! I've been out of the Vai loop for a minute, did Thomas retire?

[geezberry]

3:29 i know steve doesnt like noise gates but the FM3 has a really good one that would eliminate that hiss and not choke off notes.

[Zerback]

I don't t think there is a more beautiful guitar that a jem floral pattern blue

[Boldaslove]

Maybe it's me but Doug almost sounds like Steve when he speaks.

[KSaw]

Awesome!! I can't wait to see you guys again in July!! \m/

Doug has Steve’s mannerisms and demeanor, it’s kinda freaky. 🤘🏼✌🏼

I love that Steve Vai always surrounds himself with young guys and always uses new technologies and how he helps all those people introduce themselves into the music business.
