Pro Metal Guitarist REACTS: Devil May Cry 5 "Bury the Light - Vergil's battle theme" 

IIRC the story behind this song was Capcom requested no electric guitar and Casey Edwards went "hmm digital electric guitar isn't electric guitar lol" and he fuggin slayed the task

I love how he dances with the song. At 9:49, he starts his own solo and then leaves the stage to the original part at 10:40. Perfectly balanced, as it all things should be.

You know he's a skilled guitarist when he can't even listen to a good song for the first time without not jamming along with it😂😂😂

9:56 Holy mother of god that was insane

I'm impressed at the break at the end, where you played a solo and then the songs ACTUAL solo came in. Felt like some kind of duet, god damn!

Dude 10/10 I actually cried during the end I felt like I was experiencing the song again for the first time

You HADN'T heard this song yet? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

I love the original song but holy SHIT did you bring this from a 10/10 to a 100/10 with your added depth.

Casey Edwards usually pops in the comments in these reactions, bet he'd really love this! Someone tweet this to him!

I have never seen a "Bury The Light" reaction of someone playing with it just improvising and listening to catch on to the chord progressions. The original song actually doesn't have electric guitar in it, it's a distorted bass guitar and some crazy synths to mimic electric guitar! This whole video is EXACTLY what I imagine the song would sound like if Casey Edwards was allowed to use real electric guitar (he couldn't because electric guitar is a big part of Dante's theme and they wanted Vergil's to contrast, which it does perfectly), it would be even heavier than it is now and that's so satisfying. Incredible playing and I loved watching your jamming and improv, what an experience!

Just got DMC5 a few days ago and I'm playing it as Vergil with this song set on loop. It's an absolute blast.

10:15 This part dragged me to tears instantly.

Holy God, at 8:35 onwards, when the song slows down and Toxic plays like it's a power ballad? Holy shit I got chills down my spine and tears in the corners of my eyes, I fucking love music, nothing else can make me feel like this!

NOW IM FEELING MODIVATED. The RU-vid algorithm came at me with a banger, his addition to the song actually elevated this song. This song is so epic that there are countless remixes and covers because in essence, ever version of the song is cannon in my eyes, every time thing song gets played, the musician is burying their own light with their own version on the same epic song

Came for the reaction stayed for how good he is with the fucking guitar my god !!!!!!

Absolutely fell in love with the lick at 10:21, You have an incredibly gifted set of ears my friend.

Devil May Cry. A story about a family with two sons born from a union of a human and devil. When the devils came to get revenge on the one who batrayed them they slaughtered the parents. Leaving one child to cast away his demonic side, decrying anything to do with the powers that took away his parents and the other child to lament the weakness of his humanity, doing his best to seek power to no longer be that weak little boy. This is a ballad of the second child.

I just assumed I gaslighted myself into thinking you heard this already.

I'm very surprised you hadn't reacted to this song yet! Amazing like always, and I'm glad somebody requested it!

6:47 dancing knight sync with the song

This song gives me chills man, what a banger! The fact it's so long and it's not like it's a loop, it's just changing up for 9 minutes is amazing. Also your ability to play by ear even when the guitar stops and it's just voices, even being able to tell what note the voice is in and match it to where it doesn't sound out of place is amazing, from an outside perspective it's like the guitar is just an extension of your being. On the whole I love your play along videos, the extra guitar on top of the song itself makes for some cool renditions.

Dude, never have a seen a jam so natural aside from Steve Vai composing a rock cover for Halo 2's theme over the original Halo theme. This was a joy to watch, and I couldn't help but smile through it all! Well played sir, you've gained a new fan!

Bro I just cried at the final solo guitar, that was... *SMOKING SEXY STYLE!*

I NEED you to do a full cover of that.

Your solo is incredible. Props man.

I love how you react not only with your commentary but with your absolute shredding. It often feels like relistening to the song for the first time and it's amazing.

WHAT IN THE FUCKING WORLD DID I HEARD??? THAT WAS AMAZING WOW, I NEED THIS VERSION ON SPOTIFY ASAP

"that was hella sick" *Proceeds to shred a lil impov* I'd love to be able to do that, I'd literally do it all the time

The combo of your solo being followed by the song's was so damn good

that fucking solo on the crescendo, that was something else. the way you took turns with the original song felt like a duet

Dude, your shredding blended so well I feel like Ive ascended by how MOTIVATED I feel

6:13 this sounded so good, my god

this is one of the first songs I looked for when I started listening to you

9:00 your adaption skills are amazing. I heard it all the way through

Justin here. Thanks for doing this! Your videos are awesome. The first video Lawredon showed me was your cover of Lineage of Clan and I was so shocked you hadn’t done Bury the Light yet. So thanks to you and Lawredon for making this happen. The react and jam was great. This was SSS

It's rare that I find such a masterly crafted song like this that still, after several years, still gives me goosebumps everytime I listed to it. Casey goddamn nailed it with this one. Not only this he masterfully crafted the song around Vergil's actual lore, but he also managed to make it a fucking banger. The only thing missing is a cover with your own spin on it. From the glimpse we got from you playing the song, please man, I think I speak for us all, make that cover. Victor's voice and your instrumentals are a mix made in heaven One thing's for sure tho, I think I'll stick around for a while. You're killing it

that was AWESOME, you went crazy at the end and made a legendarily epic song somehow even more intense and badass

Came for bury the light, stayed for you, I want this overlap please

I don't how you managed but you made this song even more epic than it was with your solo, you absolutely killed it, keep going man, you're an absolute DEMON with the guitar!

Yo that 3:20 part was just crazy how you add that in. Wish you do a cover on it with that in it

This Is Real Motivation!!

I need a remix of this now 😭❤️

damn i love how he plays with it, its even more epic!

God DAMN. This is what "reaction content" should be like. Absolutely FIRE

Just when I thought the song couldn’t get any better 😮‍💨, you absolutely killed it for a first listen. Please officially cover this

I badly need a full song along of his shredding before the original solo. That just brings me to tears and motivated to full power. 💙

My god, id kill for a version of the song with that solo and a huge chunk of the overlay you got in while listening. I have not felt that kind of thrill from music in a LONG time. It's like I felt the blood in my veins for a moment-- just goddamned superb.

dude, i urgently need a cover with this guitar, it was extraordinary

holy shit this blended so well with the song

9:48 ~ 11:07 fu○○ing awesome guitar duo holy..

Hoooooooly shiiiiit, holy shit, holy shit. The fucking flavor you gave this song with your guitar solo was EPPPPIIIIICCCCC, dude. That was fucking WILD. Good shit.

Went absolutely NUTTY on this, good shit bro!

I love how his fingers and body started moving of their own accord upon hearing how epic the song is and decided to add his own flavour of epicness🔥🔥😎(subbed 😉)

He's motivated

Yo your solo was so sick and went so well with the song's actual solo right next to each other

Yesss dude! I’ve been waiting for this

Whenever I see you play my favorite songs like this, improvising and just having fun, it’s almost like listening to my favorite songs for the first time and it’s amazing! Almost feel like crying actually :’)

I can tell you were having a really great time jamming to this song. I enjoyed every second of your reaction, and I look forward to your eventual cover regardless of how long it will take before you do so. Rock on! :D

Bro this was awesome you had me smiling the whole video. Makes me want to pick up my guitar and try to learn again.

Man it is incredible to just watch you jam to a song you aren't familiar with. Such a work of art. It was fun to see how you reacted to that key change in the main riff. Nobody is ever ready for that. This is such an incredible song with so much happening

Duuude! This was awesome! I had a very well spent lunch break listening to this. 🤘🏻

you made it sound so much cooler with the extra guitar sounds

This is how u do a reaction!!! this is nuts bro!!!

Your jamming such on point, rewatched this like 20-30 times!

10:24 lawredon knows what's up with the devil trigger reference

Oh my god this is amazing. Dude you just earned a sub forever!!

This is amazing. I would love a full cover of this at one point by you. You are one of my inspirations to one day learn how to play Much love ❤❤❤

Could u make a full cover for this, this was one of the best guitar side by sides I’ve ever heard to a game song especially one as epic as this!

3:18 GOD DAMN

Loved the way you bring your input to this song. You are a certified badass with the guitar.🤩

Jesus!!!! This track was already so good. With your added level of depth this is now god tier....You need to make your own cover of this!

thats so amazing how you can just play along to stuff like that. holy crap. you added to something already amazing and made it...extra amazing haha

SO good. another banger, man. keep up the killer work

The absolute skill and mastery that went into this song is on levels that only few can begin to comprehend. It's... Motivational.

GoDDAMNNN THAT JAMMING THROUGHOUT THE SONG IS AWESOME I ENJOYED THE RIDE

I NEED THIS COVER NOW

Wow you are awesome. I got chills

Good GOD DUDE! I've probably listened to this song over a hundred times. And I don't normally like people playing over songs, but somehow you sent me into full head banger mode! Youre freaking awesome!

You gotta release a version of this song with your added playing. I would listen to that every day

Glad RU-vid reccomend me you ever channel, I definitely will check it out.

Now I need you to do a full on cover of this in your style my dude

9:40 onwards was absolutely fire. it's like a solid 2 minutes of eargasm

Dayummmm, fit so well your performance!

holy shit, that was awesome. You should do a cover for this, for sure

I’ve been hoping you would come across this song! Btw I’m always loving the positive vibes from you 🤙

I'm surprised it took ya this long to get to this, this one's a treat.

Damn dude it's incredible how you could play while just listening the song at the same time! You just earned your sub and like!

Your cover should be on spotify man!

You're so talented man

Listening to you freestyle over this was awesome. You just earned a sub

Amazing solos, man

Bruh your solos over top of the actual tracks are so good and somehow fit in so well

Never seen someone play with a song, be so in sync and make it sound even better!

the fact that you jam with this and add to it completely is wild, it sounds awesome

This man not just react, but he also playing it. Love that

HOLY this sounded so good

I really enjoyed that. Keep it up bro
