Stumbled upon a picture of Vai holding the Hydra, and when I finally listened to the song seriously, I was amazed that anyone could do this! Nowadays, Vai’s the only one I could ever see doing anything like Teeth of The Hydra. I really admire that he still makes incredible music when he’s not exactly a young man anymore, it’s like as he’s aged, his writing and playing has just gotten even better.

This song and performance is inspiring and captivating and we should all be thankful that Vai is continuing to share with us his uniqueness and unrivaled talent.

It's so funny, there's so many people these days with multiple neck guitars or 10 times the strings they normally have all doing stuff on KZread and whatever. Then along comes Steve Vai and shows you how it's really done. This man never disappoints. I'm a drummer and I'm not usually too into guitar stuff, but this guy has mesmerized me since the mid 80's. He was a big part of my childhood and it's nice to see the guy never stopped growing, his ego all seems to be contained within his guitar playing. He never comes off as the absolute legend that he is.

This is jaw dropping. Just jaw dropping. If this doesn't prove Steve Vai a master of the guitar, nothing will.

I saw him on live and was amazing. What a creative mind with crazy techniques! A true artist.

Was at his concert in year 2023. What surprised most is that Steve was playing note for note - it is tens of thousands of notes - his compositions, exactly same notes he was playing like 15 years ago and how it sounds in my head. Not a single note was added, removed or changed. It is incredible!

Decades of evolution and mutation brought up this version of Vai.

Who needs a band when you're Steve Vai?

This man’s imagination, intellect, creativity, persistence, and passion is unbelievable!!!

Just when you think Steve Vai has reached the ultimate level, he goes and composes a piece of music that takes the bar even higher. I’m blown away by this performance and don’t really know what else to say.

@@Matt_Holcomb While Knappsack was an incredible piece of music, I enjoyed Teeth of the Hydra much more because the tempo was much slower and it’s not as busy. I could actually hear what he was playing. And what you don’t play is just as important as what you do play sometimes. I could hear the emotions and atmosphere he was trying to create here. Playing a lot of notes really fast doesn’t always create the best piece of music or tell the best story per se. It’s more important than ever, especially in instrumental music, to use the sounds to influence the audience’s state of mind because there aren’t any lyrics. You have to use the sounds to create a mood. Simply put, I liked the mood I got from Teeth of the Hydra more than the mood I got from Knappsack. Both are excellent. I just like Hydra more. Just my personal preference. If you like Knappsack, that’s cool. There is no right or wrong when it comes to music, just preferences. Have a good one. I’m just glad we can agree than Vai and his music are great.

You go Man, let that Homunquitar SING!

This is one of the most insane but totally awesome things I've ever seen. He is playing lead, rhythm guitar, bass and sitar simultaneously!! Next level!! A total masterpiece

I love how he creates a unique instrument, a unique song , a perfect utilization of the instruments performance and turns it all into a killer sounding composition with the performance to go along with it.

Of course he is a great player….just wish he would put less emphasis on the show biz side of his things, and maybe stray a little bit away from his signature Frank Zappaish overall sound!

There’s guitar players and guitar gods and then there’s Vai, a being from another planet. This is insane.

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this was his belt buckle.

That guitar is biblically accurate.

Been listening to this guy for 20 years and somehow, he STILL manages to blow me away. His multi guitar work never disappoints. I was blown away with I Know Your Here, and now this. Unbelievable. 👏🏾👍🏾

I think I commented already when it first came out but man I revisited this again it is really is amazing after all these years Vai is still pushing himself well past his comfort levels to create a piece of art and triumph like this. Really remarkable stuff 🎉

The really bizarre thing about Vai is that this IS the 'Steve Vai-Level' - and that level is on another, alien plane!!!! (I've played the guitar for about 25 years - and about 15 of them on an 'intense' level....and even though I, sadly cannot say that I can play exactly like any other great guitarist - at least I can figure out and understand how they do it. But with Vai - I cannot NOT....I just cannot even fathom how he does many of the things that he does. He is simply on an entirely different plane. Untouchable - simply aweinspirengly[sp?] AMAZING!!!)

I truly dig on Mr Vai's energy. It's been a long time and I was wonderin' where he'd gottn off to. Nice.. 😃

I had a feeling 6 strings wasn't going to be enough. Then we added a 7th string. Fast forward 40 years.... What the heck is this? I salute you Steve Vai. That was incredible.

When I first heard the album, my ears couldn't conceive all the sounds coming from one instrument. Now that I watch Steve perform it, it's a totally different experience. That is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. Period. Edit: I've honestly never been more inspired to explore music. The mental clarity I got from seeing that is astonishing. Thank you, Steve.

I hear ya on that. This is my favourite track on the album but now seeing him do all that on one guitar, overlapping the instruments, it’s mind bogglingly impressive and Steve just confirms time and again (think knappsack) why he’s the greatest of all time.

Mr Vai is a true example of a genuine musician. No matter what a master can do yesterday, that has nothing to do with reaching for evolution. This man continues to evolve musically and that's incredible. Love to you Mr Vai

He always finds interesting ways to show his extreme talent.

I know you never left, but this feels like a "welcome back". Fantastic performance.

He is a real rockstar.

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

I love that this triple necked monstrosity was used in a fresh, creative, and musical manner without an ounce of novelty present throughout this entire song. Then again, this is Steve Vai we're talking, here. One of America's greatest musical treasures strikes again as only he can! This is just plain brilliant, and I expect no less from the man.
