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

[usero]

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.

[broadkiwi]

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!

[hadisyuaib]

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

[Sup_my_dude]

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

[buy]

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

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!

9:56 Holy mother of god that was insane

[fitzel]

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.

[HOHydraulic]

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!

[maeviu-twich]

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

[SpectreMkTwo]

NOW IM FEELING MODIVATED.
The YouTube 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

[decoydesignz]

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

[assassin_]

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😂😂😂

[altyar_]

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

[samwilkinson]

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.

[Battlemaster]

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!

[TheRetroDen]

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

[Riku-Leela]

"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

[CMY_Kat]

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