The Attitude Song
Steve Vai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
(Instrumental)
As it is an instrumental track, it is difficult to provide a lyrical interpretation for Steve Vai's The Attitude Song. However, it is safe to assume that the song aims to convey a sense of powerful energy, self-confidence, and assertiveness. The music is bold, intense, and explosive, showcasing Vai's prowess on the guitar. The song's title itself suggests that it is about having a strong and unyielding attitude towards life and the challenges it presents. It could be interpreted as a call to action for listeners to embrace their own attitudes and stand up for themselves in the face of adversity.

The golden era of Vai. Just untouchable.
John Braucher
I believe THIS is actually his golden era. He wasn't mainstream discovered really back then, just kind of a cult favorite. So many generations now know him and buy his music and appreciate him. Now much like Pantera, he blew up during the best time and the worst time in history. What a time to be alive.

I think the next tour beat this one.... but just barely.

Anyone can eventually copy someone but can he create thia before anyone else?
Avichai Dvir
this was in my opinion Steve's best band ever
Eric O'Brien
What a reminder of how F'n amazing Vai is. I bought this cassette when it came out and it was so strange and different (wasn't aware of Zappa yet!) No one sounded like Steve then or now. This is a flawless performance and Mr. Keneally doesn't miss a note on the 2nd essential guitar part of this tune. Electric guitar heaven!

No one sounded like Steve then or now.
And thank God for that , this is unlistenable . Vai is much better than what he's playing here . This is embarrassing .
