The guitar legend Steve Vai makes a couple appearances on the soundtrack for 2004âs Halo 2, and now we have video to confirm that he did, in fact, absolutely shred in the studio.

Posted in a thread by Resetera user jambo, the video is a rip of a DVD made by Halo composer Martin OâDonnell, who seems to have simply wanted to document the event. After all, this is Steve Vai!
In a tweet, OâDonnell explained that he had not previously shared the video due to the fact that it is âdark and grainyâ (which it is). Nevertheless, itâs a really great historical document that shows what a studio jam session centered around Steve Vai going very hard over a song from Halo looks like. Itâs a fun time.
If you want to hear the final version, Iâve conveniently provided it here:

I love it when these bits of archival footage make it out into the world.
