This channel needs to be preserved in the Library of Congress. These are the best music interviews ever.

Sometimes you just have to like BEFORE watching the video.

I was once drunk in KC and walked into the Grand Emporium I think it was. Joe was up on stage playing a solo. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy throw a bottle at him. He dodged it nicely. I couldn’t believe anyone would throw something at any musician let alone one of the best. The bouncer grabbed me and began to throw me out. While Joe kept playing with his left hand. He basically did sign language with his right hand to the bouncer. Told him no not him that guy beside him. All with one hand while still playing. It was amazing. The bouncer apologized. Shook my hand and so did Joe after the show. Cool dude. Very humble even though he’s probably earned the right to be arrogant. Class act. On and off the stage.

one thing evident, to me, is how intelligent people allow another to fully express a thought. whether it's 2, 5 or 10 minutes. take note of this and watch how people constantly cut you off in conversations.

You’ve interviewed EVERYONE, but this was hands down, easily my favorite. Of course, it stars 2 of the greatest guitarist of our generation, but also such cool, humble and down to earth dudes that anyone would want to hang with. Didn’t want it to end…

Rick single-handedly documenting music history over here. Love it

Joe Satriani's mother was my 4th-grade teacher. She was as amazing a teacher as he is guitar player.

[DaniloMarrone]

Rick Beato’s contribution to the legacy of legendary musicians is priceless! Vai and Satriani together—student and teacher—now equals in the annals of guitar gods.

I know Joe is known for Surfing but I'll die on the hill that Crystal Planet is his greatest album ever, and one of the top guitar albums of all time. Every song, every chord, every solo and sound is darn near perfect. Crystal Planet, Love Thing, Lights of Heaven, Rasberry Jam, etc., all so so good. Vai's Passion and Warfare is up there with Crystal Planet too.

Joe and Steve seem so content with their lives right now. I sense a real love and appreciation for each other.

When Steve Vai tells Rick Beato "you're doing great work" - he is just echoing millions, but gosh, what a vote of confidence !! Rick ❤❤❤

[FanOfLiberty]

2024 is turning out to be a tremendous year for Rick Beato. Simply awesome. Here, two contemporary legends.

[grantwallace]

Three beautiful people chatting about music. It doesn't get any better.

[andrewg.]

Amazing to see a master like Steve Vai still humble and acknowledging Joe's crucial tutelage from years ago

[ROMIX]

Steve and Joe acknowledging your work at the end was the most kindest and humble present thing to do, Rick you are an international treasure !

[BassByTheBay]

Man, ngl... when Steve started praising Rick at the end of the interview, it got me teary 😭. The positivity that comes from these interviews just fills me with joy. ❤

[zapveresepa]

What's amazing is that these guys seem so happy, especially Steve Vai is always positive.

[mikedixon]

I've got tickets to see them Monday night...I haven't seen Satriani live since the Flying in a Blue Dream tour...i was 14.... and after all of this time they are together and playing 20 minutes from my house...I'm pumped !!!.. Going to be AWESOME and SO nostalgic !

[maxmenius]

Two of the kindest, most humble individuals both possessing phenomenal guitar/songwriting talent. That their egos are completely in check makes listening to them even better.

Rick Beato is the MAN with his interviews lately!!!👍🤘😎
