Ralph Macchio is 50
I mean, every birthday of any celebrity who peaked in fame years ago is an occasion to marvel at the passage of the time. But this should really, really make you feel very, very, very old: Ralph Macchio turns 50 today. (And Steve Vai is 51!)
A Mississippi string tie and he's ready to roll.
Steve Vai versus Stevie Vai. Such a talented guitarist that he couldn't be bothered to come up with a style of playing different than his own for Macchio's solo, or even deign to play an actual Telecaster when recording Macchio's solo. You'd have to make a deal with the devil to get a Tele to sound as shitty as this movie makes it sound.
Well, he'll always be jail-bait to me… Like little Jeremy Andretti!
Stay golden, Johnny.
Steve Vai, yummy.
Watch your smoke, Johnny.
