Polyphia - Ego Death feat Steve Vai REACTION!!!!! [[ WHAT THE $%^& JUST HAPPENED!!! ]]

[@Soothsayer7X]

when i saw this will be the closing song in the new album never did i think it would have been this epic. Feels so good the appreciation from old gen to new gen of guitarist.

[@tre07reactions]

The appreciation and collaboration between the new and old is the best part. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@hazelee57]

Love your reaction! Yeah! When the screech!!screeech! part came..i almost fell off my chair too!

[@tre07reactions]

Yo that shit was amazing!!! I was like whaaaaattt?!?!? 😅 Thanks for watching!! 😁👍🏼♥️

[@消灯-j1j]

Steve said on an interview that the moment he was contacted by the Polyphia guys he got chuckles and said to them "Just give anything you guys got sparing and i'll play over it, i don't care" then Tim came with the first Riff and some other harmonies and went to Stevie's house to show him what he had, and he blew Vai's speakers lmao

[@tre07reactions]

Lmao that's great!! Little bit of an underestimation to say the least. Thank you for sharing and of course thank you for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@michaelwashe7614]

Tim, Scott and Vai all get time on the throne. I love it.

[@tre07reactions]

Great observation!! Thank you! 💪🏼👊🏼👍🏼

[@mpkelley20]

Scott said in a recent video with Steve Vai that he doesn’t know how to read music. Needs tabs. Thought that was interesting because he’s so good.

[@tre07reactions]

Ohhh that is interesting. You would think they are all classically trained but that's a harsh misjudgement. Thank you and thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@someonesucks7185]

6:29 Clay Bass is the one who was classically trained. Clay Drums was in the drumline. It's hard for me to remember their last names. That's why I call them Clay Bass and Clay Drums. Tim and Scott both didn't go to college. Tim played the violin. Scott has always been on the guitars.

[@nasfan9273]

Clay Bass is 100% self-taught. When he was a teenager, he was also a good guitar player. He never picked up a bass, until he was around 17 yo. No lessons.

[@tre07reactions]

Hey thanks for the info. I stand wayy corrected several times. 😅 Thank you and thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@vhaarr]

They had played with Steve on his tour, and some time after they were at a party and Tim got drunk and just asked Steve if they could collaborate. Tim said it was nervewracking af to ask that's why he had to get drunk lol Tim said this in an interview some time back that's on yt, but I can't remember where.

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

The musicianship alone makes this video off the charts. Great job by Polyphia and Steve Vai. The bar has been set people !!

[@tre07reactions]

Yeah they are definitely setting a different standard and expectation. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@madkodama]

BEST reaction I’ve seen on this, thanks Correa!

[@tre07reactions]

Ayyyy that's great!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! Glad you enjoyed. 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼😁🤩♥️

[@winst2000]

I think Polyphia was formed when Tim and Scott were still in high school. I believe Scott said that he could not read sheet music and Tim said that he was depressed for a week when he was rejected by Berklee.

[@tre07reactions]

Oh that’s awesome!! Thank you for sharing! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@jamesharris8859]

best reaction and ive watched heaps 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@jamesharris8859]

i gotta sub

[@tre07reactions]

Yessss!!! You're not the 1st to say that either. 😁 Thank you thank you thank you!! This was a great song, colab, and video for sure!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@Suzuki.Manabu]

I wouldn't describe it as similar to anyone's past performances, I've been listening to it since the 70's, but in the end it's different. It's not old musicians playing new music. Steve Vai is exceptionally good. I agree. I really enjoyed it. Great.

[@tre07reactions]

He played right with them! Great song and performance.

[@mindmagic777]

Tommy Emmanuel, an accoustic master, he's incredible. Paul Gilbert, John Pretucci, Eric Johnson, Nuno Bettencourt.....so many incredible players. Love them all

[@tre07reactions]

Yeah I had to dial it back a bit. Lol..so many amazing guitarists. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@sheldoncooper8199]

@Oden vai In 2008 i pretty much only listened to Paul Gilbert. I loved his Get Of My Yard and Silence after the Deafening Roar Albums. His newer Stuff not THAAT much.

[@babade02]

Hahaha great reaction

[@tre07reactions]

Hey hey thank you and thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@jleighwolfe]

Steve invited them to play a show at namm a couple years ago when he was releasing signature guitar. Hes been a fan of them for a while. Super cool. They did a chat on IG thats really good. Pretty sure they posted it on yt

[@tre07reactions]

Hey that's great..I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the info and of course thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@TheChevorletallday]

I know I’m a tad late but I can’t remember the video I saw where Tim says he ran saw steve an an event and he was hammered when he asked vai to feature😂

[@xtop23]

Yeah man...... the technicality is fuckin dope. The interplay between instruments is just filthy. Then...... when Vai comes in...... overlays all of the technical shit with straight fire....... man. He's WAY more subtle than I expected...... and tbh...... the track is elevated next level because he's restrained. Badass music ...... for people with ADHD that have worn out their Dream Theater discography.

[@tre07reactions]

Dream Theater, nice!! I totally get what you're saying about Vai holding back..the way he adds his own thing without compromising the Polyphia sound makes it that much better!! 💪🏼👊🏼🤩

[@Monty4G63]

The guitar Scott uses here is a seven string Ibanez Xiphos (XPTB720).

[@prattkidd]

He plays like tosin abasi from animals as leaders you should check him out. Insane guitarist

[@IkenFister]

Hes good but im not a particular fan of his melodys

[@tre07reactions]

Love that band too.

[@Nowyouscantleave]

That drop at 9:52 is otherworldly.

[@tre07reactions]

Absolutely!! Thanks for watching!!

[@larsmiles7231]

I could be wrong about Scott's guitar as I'm a bassist and don't know much about guitar models, but I THINK it's an Ibanez Iron Label. It's 100% as Ibanez, as he is an Ibanez endorsed artist.

[@tre07reactions]

Hey yeah I am sure I'm probably not guessing right at all. It does have a distinct shape I could be mistaking as the warlock design. I reserve the right to be 100% wrong. 😅 Thank you and thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@TheHookBoy]

Why did they do that? It got your attention, didn’t it? Your reaction of “What was that” is probably the most common reaction I’ve seen at that specific moment. I don’t know if that was their intention, but that is the outcome with many.

[@tre07reactions]

True. Lol

[@michaelwashe7614]

Check out Polyphia and Steve Vai talking about the colab here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3ympHh6jNFjr9U

[@tre07reactions]

Hey thank you!! I'm gonna do a reaction to the making of this as well. Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@williamharris7357]

why did they do that? duh to introduce the song

[@tre07reactions]

I liked and disliked this comment at the same time haha thanks captain. 😅🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼

[@Kobwo1]

Damn, hard to follow with the incessant talking and pausing.

[@tre07reactions]

Might I suggest watching the original video by polyphia because this is a reaction video so I'm reacting and talking about it. I appreciate you watching and maybe you enjoy my personality over top of this beautiful piece of work but if not go check it out on the Polyphia KZbin channel because it has no commentary. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏🏼💪🏼👊🏼♥️
