Steve Vai - Blue Powder download song

I got this track as a kid on a thin plastic single in a guitar player magazine. It was a Stevie Vai ad for Carvin amps. I played that square piece of plastic w the single pressed into it - until it was completely worn out. Even then, I knew that if I had a Carvin amp I wasn't gunna sound anything like this!

Been listening to this since the 1985 SOUND PAGE version from Guitar Player mag came out (remember the floppy 45rpm records that came with each issue in the 80s?). It's still one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Genius. ;)

3:25 - 3:31 is just the best sound ever!! Got to love Stevie!!!

I haven't heard this in 15 years. I couldn't appreciate its sheer genius until this day.

it's still so hard to play.... also After 12 years (with no one lesson)

Solo at 3:00 is unreal.  Love the half-time feel and the way it builds up speed.

The melody he plays at 3:55 is lifted from Frank Zappa's solo on Keep it Greasy (7:18 in Zappa's version)

Stu Hamm on bass.  I first heard this on a floppy single 'vinyl' insert from a guitar magazine in 1985 or '86.  Remember those?

This is a ballad dat I wrote. it's all, it's all about peace and love and Good happiness stuff.

I imagine you'd miss out on slot to be that awesome. holed up, finger exercises, perfecting scales.

Final found and bought the amp he played this song with . Carvin X100B... tones beyond tones....

I can remember where I was when I first listened to this track...it was good...fond memories as a teen.

Wow, this is pretty amazing. You can hear the influence of Zappa here. Or if you listen to Zappa you can hear the influence of Vai.

Man! It's almost as if his guitar sounds like a living breathing object!

Yep ,also got this as a single insert in a guitar magazine in the mid eighties ,needless to say it was quite mindblowing .My brothers played over and over again.

best song ever made heart ,soul,drive emotions a prism of lifes meaning sad and happy fountain of life giving soul vibes and funky.virtuosity extremely exact .the best man big time.cmd7572

This song right here is mystically insane with magical enchanting sounds. Awesome!!!

Musical wizardry.

Not only was this first released as a flexi-disk record in the pages of "Guitar Player" magazine, it was something Steve Vai supposedly just threw together as a promotional demo for the capabilities of the Carvin X100-B amp.
