Tim is so technical and it's crazy but Steve can make a guitar sing and you can't ever get away from the fact that 40 years of loving your instrument teaches something that you can't describe and can only appreciate it.

Steve is of course an absolute legend, but he can’t keep up with new blood in this day and age. Whilst his part is awesome and fits very well, it’s hardly something challenging for the likes of Tim and Scott.

I like how much Steve's parts here actually reflect the title and theme of the song. Instead of doing his usual acrobatic wankery (in a good way), he lets the youngins do all the super technical stuff, and his solos are obviously not about trying to impress anyone but rather soulful singing parts meant to communicate transcendental emotional states or something along those lines instead.

Out of all the shred generation of guitarists from the 80/90s, Steve Vai seems like the only one who always seems genuinely thrilled by seeing new talents coming up and taking music in new directions. I always found his friendship with Jacob Collier really wholesome and it was great seeing both collaborate. It's really cool to see him collaborate with Polyphia too! What a great guy.

Vai shows that after all these years he is still willing to push himself. Not easy to go into a room as "Steve Vai" with arguably the hottest guitar players on the planet and challenge yourself to do something new. He could easily just make a living playing For The Love of God to nostalgic oldschoolers but rather is willing to step out of his comfort zone. That is ego death.

I get that they're trying to be different with the drum sound and they're trying to break new ground but personally, I'm just not feeling it.

That's the thing about that style of guitarists. You can find thousands of people who play technical stuff like Polyphia, but nobody but Steve Vai could play what he played and make it sound like it did. Reminds me of guys like Derek Trucks. Derek Trucks is one of a kind, nobody on Earth sounds like him. I think Steve Vai is the same way. He added another facet of character and musicianship that you just never hear on a Polyphia record, which is full of so many vast techniques already.

every time you see them in a new room or setting, you'll notice they keep progressively going up floors in the building. The higher up they go the more intense and difficult the song gets. Until they finally reach the top, which is where the master himself is waiting to receive them, seated on his throne. The whole video builds to them meeting Steve vai at the top of the guitar game, and being accepted by him as having reached that status. Honestly such an awesome visual analogy of musicians that hold each other in the highest of respects.
