Steve Vai Teeth of the Hydra REACTION by Songs and Thongs

[@buccanero]

Dude, I agree with everything that you just said in the video. Now, think about this, in a few years Steve is going to wake up one day and say to himself "I think I can top that!" 🤯

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Lol! I believe it! The man is Unlimited!

[@MrJetplanemusic]

What blows me away is how effortless he makes everything look. Not only effortless, but natural and graceful.

[@bltmusica-aquatica]

Damn...even the positioning of pick n his fingers while tapping the bass and going back to 7strings and constantly playing in Very Smoooooothly... is insane.🤯

[@martycarter3306]

Steve vai is like jimmy hindrex...they were both wat ahead of their time....both of them is truly God's.......I've been a fan of Steve since he got with David Lee roth back in 1986...and over the years Steve vai always go to the next level that no one has ever done.....Steve is so passion about his music and its like art...he can take any musical piece and turn it in to something out of this world...

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

God Level.........out there on his own. The One Above All..😂

[@emorycantrell3938]

I started following Steve when Zappa first took him in , to basically play the stuff that Frank couldn't....which is saying a lot . He has gone so much further since then. Yes , he is on another level , one of the guitar gods .

[@paulmahon1613]

He learned to play from Joe Satriani and to compose from Frank Zappa. You can hear so much of Frank's influence in Steve's music.

[@wolfedan3]

Out of the 30+ reaction videos that I have watched on Teeth of the Hydra, I think that I have enjoyed your video the most, and quite frankly your reactions were very similar to mine. Thanks.

[@squidly2112]

Going to burst your brain even more. Current, Steve Vai has been playing that song on that "instrument" (it's not a guitar, it something totally space age, something else) .. anyway, he's playing that live, on his current tour. So, not only could he play it for this video (multiple takes), but he is doing it LIVE!!! .. now, does THAT not melt your brain? .. THIS is why he has been my favorite musician for a very long time.

[@fredzeppelin3969]

You are thinking of the 3 neck JEM, the top was a 12 string, a 6 string in the middle, and a fretless 6 string on the bottom. I can't remember the configuration of the heart shaped guitar from his DLR days.

[@samuelgutierrez3184]

Makes me want to sell my guitars and become a monk. Been following Steve for decades. He IS the GOAT.

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Hell yeah!!

[@cathyharbaugh691]

I'm so happy to see and hear this, I'm a long time fan and I still have one of his guitar picks when I saw him with Whitesnake I think it was in 88,lol.Have you seen the video for Knappsack where he does it all with one hand because he was still recovering from surgery on his other hand.I have just subscribed this looks like a fun channel and you both have amazing smiles.🙂

[@johnnie3Chords]

We have witnessed a Masterpiece ! Historical ! Monumental ! 🤯😉

[@edstpierre3428]

Vai named the guitar "The Hydra", custom built by Ibanez to his specs including the Steampunk appearance. The guitar is so heavy that it is strapped to his waist!

[@letztekrankheit]

And it's of course placed on instead of worn on when played live. Puts a little more into the musical performance at the same time

[@scottfield5849]

Maannnn, that was an impressive bit of work on a CRAZY complicated piece of equipment! It's fun watching Harry's brain melt, though. Haha. Rock on, you guys! 🤘😎👍

[@g-pa-Rok-n-Tok]

Nice reaction! Vai's a Beast.

[@batigo211]

For those kinds of things, Steve Vai 🎸 is a Guitar God, he is beyond the stratosphere in terms of his level. the way he makes love to guitars is unique and special.

[@johntomasik1555]

Doesn't surprise me. Saw Vai in 1980 when he played with Zappa. I think he was maybe 19? Any kid that can play with Zappa's band at that age has a wide open future with his instrument.

[@patrickkeenan6331]

Axs a friend of mine said, that was a mic drop performance.

[@bobbowring1702]

WOW such a great sound

[@risingsorrow]

pat metheny amon his guitars has rthe picasso guitar, i think it s three necks and 42 strings if i remember correctlty

[@PavlozKapeliz]

May I note that Steve Vai started by writing down the music sheets for Frank Zappa and later became a member of the "Zombies'" himself. Starting a career as a musician in that way, opens a LOT of doors inside your brain in a way you can reach some uncharted areas....🖖

[@johnnie3Chords]

Incredible flow , nothing seemed rushed !

[@peterteare2782]

In a nutshell, many virtuoso guitarists see how good they can be on the guitar. Steve Vai sees how good the guitar can be.

[@rockl085ter8]

I think this track confirms that Steve has indeed sold his soul as inspired by his appearance in Crossroads.

[@mikedrake9506]

I’d say that he still has his soul ,and maybe,just maybe,he has the devil’s soul! And his brain must be on the level of Einstein or Motzart!

[@brianjane3882]

Waiting to see you react to Li-sa-X band - " Looking up to you "

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Well it's obvious that Superman not only goes by Clark Kent but Steve Vai too! Awesome reaction! Thanks for sharing!

[@Lancer-qe1qn]

Power solo Steve Vai)

[@raymondrochajr9621]

Guitar magazine: The greatest guitarist ever is......... Steve Vai: hold my beer!

[@karkess313]

Vai, Satriani, Rhodes! The names of the three heads of Kerebos guarding the gates to Rock Heaven!!

[@martinroskilly9994]

Looking forward to the Tab for this one...😃

[@ullis5125]

Would love a reaction to another guitarist from that time… Yngwie Malmsteen- Black Star

[@dmatianmedia]

Welcome to Planet Vai...

[@sipke9485]

I'd love to see Harry play the Hydra for Sharlene on Mother's day

Beyond guitar virtuoso comes the category called Fret Master😅

[@Dnll88]

Awesome! Haha

[@renevw5812]

Some people think they can play the guitar quite good. Well......and then there is Steve telling all: nono my boy, im a bit older, but you have still a lot to learn.

Oh my! How much I love you two!!! Again, I'm still waitting for Harry in a thong! (Inside joke!) So MUCH love for you both!!!

[@dinoc734]

And I think he just recovered from tendon surgery

[@hataramadhan7295]

Please react to agseisa cover good 4 u ,Olivia Rodrigo..than kyou

[@SongsandThongs]

We will add it to the list. Thanks.

[@hataramadhan7295]

@@SongsandThongs Im waiting

[@griffinjg1]

It would be interesting if he passed the guitar off to the other virtuosos like Satriani and John Petrucci and see what songs they could come up with.

[@monstromedieval]

And the worst part of it he says is the weight of the Hydra.

[@Indo1030]

Some observations: 1. Imagine how many guitar “virtuosos” (not that there are many of them on the Planet) watch this and say, “Damn. I Suck”! 2. Funny that you mention that he’s an Alien. In 1995 he gave us ALIEN LOVE SECRETS! 3. He’s 60+ years old and says that he STILL practices 12-14 hours a day… 4. Mozart; Beethoven; Bach; Vai (and perhaps 1 or 2 others and not necessarily in that order)…there are only a few that have a Vision so far beyond every other person that has ever existed Great Reaction

[@MrStartAgain]

I doubt that he practices 14 hours a day but anyways hes god of guitar

[@Imperialmusicfan]

@@MrStartAgain Yeah, not in traditional sense but he does still dedicate a large amount of time working on new techniques or when he wants to be able to play a piece of music like.

[@mickeymayfield4192]

i would like to see sam cristea play that thing

[@williamadkins3359]

He is to guitar what Floor is to vocal.

[@tetsuoshima73]

Il donne la migraine ce Steve Vai et sa guitare est sortie tout droit d'un film Steam-Punk !

[@RossanoMacchioni-gm4mg]

Troppo facile suonare uno strumento solo ma tre in uno è meglio. Alien Guitar
