NEVER HEARD STEVE VAI. Polyphia - Ego Death feat. Steve Vai REACTION // Aussie Bass Player Reacts

[@jeffroach3722]

Vai is using a technique called 'joint shifting' that he invented. It's when you bend 2 different strings at the same time usually in different directions. Even at 62 Vai is still innovating 🔥 Subbed

[@Roguenjosh]

Unbelievable!!!

[@theariesliam4709]

Let's not forget to mention the bassist clay's movement in this video...... man's was literally in the Spirit 🤣🤣🔥

[@BrittanyNgo01]

Haha! He's always that way, it cracks me up. Sometimes he's moving in such a way that I'm wondering what song is playing in his head

[@theariesliam4709]

@@BrittanyNgo01 He's the most laid back among the crew and it's so chill. I love it

[@tidalwave_music]

Broke 20k subscribers, mate. Awesome!

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks man!

[@CallOfTheVoid06]

Happy to see people who never knew Steve Vai and then having them see him on this one! I hope you can check on his older stuff, you'll probably get mind blown by a lot of awesome talent that he had put out ever since! Loving every reaction videos man!

[@drossano9794]

Feel like a lot of younger ppl will check out Steve vai and older ppl who came for Steve vai will get hyped on Polyphia, very inspiring stuff.

[@CallOfTheVoid06]

@@drossano9794 I totally get that too!!!

[@xkingslayer6478]

You said Steve vai was showing soul you need to hear tender surrender by him loved the reaction

[@mattn1093]

Steve Vai is a legend! To be completely blown away, check out Knapsack (he had shoulder surgery and composed a song for left hand only) or Teeth Of The Hydra (a triple necked guitar with a 12 string, 7 string, base and a harp that he plays all at once). Mind blowing talent.

[@highandtight5544]

Great reaction, my guy! My bottom floor fell out when I heard this and boy was I glad I was sitting down. This is some of the best music in history that is being released.

[@sebbenilsson860]

So nice you finally heard of Steve Vai. He's really something else. My favourite tracks with Steve Vai are his latest song Teeth of the Hydra, then Tender Surrender, For the Love of God (live G3), Building the Church (live G3), The Attitude Song (live G3), Answers (live G3), Wish You Were Here (live G3). This is such an amazing song. I think it will open up a door for so many guitarists and musicians out there, me included.

[@Akkolon]

It really is art....on a crazy level.

[@AndySmither]

josh josh josh reacting to steve vai is a must you would absolutely love his playing style “tender surrender” have a listen you’ll be in absolute shock

[@chrisdenning8905]

Whaaaat?!?! Dude who even are you?! 😂 Steve Vai is a total legend, he played in Whitesnake, Dave Lee Roth Band, Alcatrazz. You should check out his solo album "Passion & Warfare" from the 1900's it was WAY ahead of its time, dude's a genius. He also gave Devin Townsend his break by featuring him as the vocalist on one of his albums (& if you want to hear legendary, Devin Townsend has one of the greatest voices ever - EMG live performance of "Kingdom", check it).

[@GummyBearWA]

Steve's story is amazing. Great documentary on KZbin of his career, so far. At the very least watch the 1984 movie "Crossroads" w/Ralph Macchio. Steve makes his movie premiere as the devils "head cutter" aka guitar duelist.

[@Yokai7]

You NEED to see Steve Vai - Bad Horsie, I've never heard anything so unique, Yet so heavy, Yet every note is full of emotion and feel

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Tender Surennder.... must see/hear from Vai. This new gen Polyphia playing with one of the "Old Gods" as it were was amazing.

[@antoski]

That’s marvelous !

[@KiraCatlady]

Came for the aesthetics and stayed for the talent. Never even realise that there are no lyrics, it feels like the instruments are doing the talking

[@dodette]

YES!!! I was waiting to see your reaction to it

[@lightningphil9186]

2 things you must and i mean must is watch react to Steve vai Tender surrender live and For the love of God live with orchestra intro. 2 of the greatest guitar solos of all time.

[@absp2006]

I'm assuming you've heard the Mjolnir mix of the Halo Theme. Guess who Marty brought over to do the guitars?

[@ThaBeatConductor]

Yo, I really dug that metaphor you used at the end about Steve Vai being the plant that grew through the technical structure of Polyphia. Also, I heard someone else say that Steve Vai's part sounded like an alien singing, in the best way. I have to agree.

[@carlchameleon9847]

Check out Steve's new Album!!! The song "Little Pretty" is really fun and different, also has sick bass playing Saw him live a couple nights ago, and he was flawless!

[@GS-xt8fu]

A nod to Steve. They are using Ibanez Stevie vai guitars. How cool

[@xJaGG3d]

oh man, you have stumbled upon a gold mine for reactions. you gotta react to steve vai's classics now: for the love of god, tender surrender, i know you're here, and one of his less popular ones (my personal favorite), lotus feet

[@Cvillain626]

Tim is like what would happen if Victor Wooten was given a guitar instead of a bass xD

[@user-vv9it9ye4g]

Steve Vai Tender Surrender For the Love of God Whispering a Prayer Fire Ballet Suite 👉Go!

[@Max-jl2ie]

Check out Don’t Look Back or Dream with Me by Nothing More on their new albums. Probably too 5 songs from them .

[@SWC-el8lp]

He shouldn't just check out those songs. He should check out the entire album because it's fantastic from start to finish.

[@ZachComa]

Check out Bad Horsie by Steve Vai. It's heavy with a lot of stank face riffs, even by today's standards.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Since you're a bass player, How about Steve Vai - Teeth of the Hydra next?

[@dg3258]

Have u ever heard Lovebites??

[@natoffski]

Great reaction . Check out Dirty Loops world on fire 🔥 or work shit out. The musicality is just as amazing as these guys and the bass is something else.

[@Roguenjosh]

Say no more

[@KemmerlingKomputers]

people want to talk about older bands and stuff when they hear vai, bands my dad would talk about it, thats not a bad thing, but i think of sick shreds from the work he did on the halo 2 sound track.

[@auroramalloy_4]

There is a bands called set it off I think you should check out they aren't metal but if you like the theatricality of ice Nine kills then you'll like set it off

[@joshhaynes3383]

If you think this is impressive Vai, try seeing his Teeth of the Hydra video. He plays guitar, harp, synth, 12 string, and bass in one instrument, many times near simultaneously.

[@ChrisPage68]

Stream Steve's "Passion And Warfare" album. That's Steve in a nutshell.

[@RedSinter]

Their Drummer smacks of Stewart Copeland which is not...a Bad Thing... And Yeah the Entire Ensemble is Killing It... I also especially think the recording engineer deserves a Hand or 3...

[@Ellon92]

I mean no offence, but how can you be a bassist and not know Steve Vai :o I highly suggest you react to some of this legends work! You wont regret it! :D

[@G-Man4809]

You have to listen to For The Love of God and The Crying Machine by Steve Vai

[@G-Man4809]

AND, Hand on Heart, Just a Beautiful piece if Music!

[@clyde24skywalker]

wow i dont know theres bassist didnt know steve vai ...

[@indianajones3315]

Very nice. But you've never heard of Steve Vai? Listen to "For the Love of God". You'll get more followers if you do some research before reacting.

[@maxzettler8427]

You’re Australian, why are you putting out reactions to anything other than Make Them Suffer’s new song

[@Roguenjosh]

Because that one is scheduled for tomorrow, WHAT A TRACK! (I’ve had to schedule ahead to cover the arrival of baby #3)
