Ha ha! Vai was ecstatic at the thought of making a movie. He bent the note alright, he just didn't bend it the way he would have in the studio or on stage. He tried to fake mistakes throughout the solo, but there is actually a guy on Youtube that calls his videos by the name of "shred" and he is really good at playing like he can't... look for : Steve Vai shreds, EVH shreds, Slash shreds.. you'll see what I mean.
Steve got to play the epitome of a rock star on the biggest stage in the world... a classic movie.
Steve wrote, composed, taught and performed most of the music, much like he did for Frank Zappa back in the day.
