@JeffHendricks Год назад

The polyrhythms are one of the things I like about Polyphia- it's like a jazz band where everything chaotic comes together on the downbeat, unless they surprise us with a rest on 1 and come in on the upbeat (which they do a lot). That's definitely a breakbeat kind of thing. I think what I love about Steve Vai's part is that he's known as a "shredder" (I mean, he's OG). But instead of trying to out-shred Polyphia with notes, he does this crazy-hard double/triple bending flow section that's just insane, once again proving he's not afraid to innovate. Never heard anything like that before.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Me either Jeff. I though Steve’s solo was awesome and it blended with Polyphia so well but was still different. The his was crazy good. I’m listening all of thr time. I’m addicted.

obviously everyone in Polyphia is a virtuoso at their instrument, but I think my favorite thing about this band is how everyone in the band gets their time to shine and they all give each other the space sonically to do their thing it seems like they all just want to write parts that service the song instead of their ego.

9:08 "That's a neat effect" I actually watched a recorded video call between Polyphia and Steve Vai. Vai actually didn't know there would be a music video until after he already recorded his tracks. When he found out, his reaction was something like "Oh crap!" because he recorded multiple overlapping tracks. (In other words, to play it live, there would have to be multiple Steve Vais on stage.) So, some of the perceived "effects" are actually just more Steve Vai :)

They chat about making the song and video, how they came up with their ideas, and even discuss how it was received by the media such as Guitar World and so on. Very worth the view. It was fun to watch musical legends just kick back and bullshit for an hour.

I saw Polyphia live twice now. The second time was this past August with the band Unprocessed and it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. When Polyphia started, the same trumpet player in the video, Brasstracks, opened up in the song Genesis and it was super funky and the guitars and trumpet blend so well together. They sound exactly the same live as they do in the studio so you won’t be disappointed.

Soo cool… they nailed it with this song… Showcasing all of their talents. The main melody going on behind all the technical stuff is so lush. Just beautiful. And they tastefully weave it in and out throughout the song. (The melody the brass player does at the end)… and yeah. In the middle of Vai’s solo when they drop drop the bass and start jamming. That few phrases is Polyphia’s signature sound. I love it… I hope they keep it going and never compromise their sound for anything. Definitely one of the best (of not the best) guitar based bands out there. First band in a long time with such a great, creative and original sound. It’s refreshing for sure.

@The_Big_Smoochie Год назад

The video is beautifully planned as well. The entire point of the throne is it signifies the guitarist who is leading that section. Tim first with his hip-hop influenced sound. Then Scott and the metal-ish vibes arrive. Then lastly Steve and there's a bluesy tone that enters and Steve does his Magic. It's the exact same chord progression in each sectio, including the intro and the trumpet outro. But in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th each Lead guitarist gives their interpretation. It's both beautifully simple and amazingly intricate at the same time. Variations on a theme like a classical composition but with a simple pop chord progression that draws us all in. Possibly perfect 🤌

@melissakelly1251 Год назад

First of all - awesome reaction. I love the passion paired with the knowledge. I read through the comments and didn't see this but apologize if this is repeated info. Two things you might find interesting: 1) Polyphia in many ways is a 5-piece band, with production elements playing the 5th role. It's something I love about listening to them. 0:51 is a great example. Adds a really interesting element if you try to listen to the role of that "5th" member. 2) Secondly, I've always loved what they do with visual storytelling. A few people pointed out the role of the throne, but it's also worth noting we transcend this building over time. Tim starts as arguably the most recognizable member in the basement. Once Scott starts we've ascended into a windowed space. Finally, for Steve (with Clay in the center this time), we have reached the "pinnacle"/ the roof. Just a really cool touch. Again, great reaction! Loved it :)

Loved to see your reaction, it was very enjoyable to see you 'get' this as I do. I cant help but think we are seeing the future of guitar based music right here, a collaboration between masters old and new.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Yes this is a fantastic collaboration and it’s a passing of thr torch for sure.

@GameZedd01 3 месяца назад

How did you record this? Every single minute detail os coming through in this video. I'm hearing stuff I don't even hear when I listen to the song itself... This is so weird! Lol

@bobcieslinski 3 месяца назад

For some reason I was getting some feedback during this recording. It all got fixed.

@Paolomusic89 Год назад

Love your knowledgeable and insightful reactions. Keep it up!

Steve.Via literally used only note and shifted it 100 times to blow your mind

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Incredible

@mightymouse0410 Год назад

Pretty sure the brass at the end is actually from brasstracks who is featured in the opening song on the album

Thanks for watching!

YES THAT WHAT I SAYING IF STEVE VAI Was ever looking for a band he fix right in is this one

@BuyoganExtendedStories Год назад

I love that "rekekekek" drop 9:57

@bobcieslinski Год назад

My favorite part.

You don't wanna know, I'm a music teacher too and I am a fan of Polyphia just a week ago!

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Hey that’s awesome you teach music. Where do you teach?

@IllShivyou Год назад

Huge fan of Polyphia. Really appreciate your insight on it. Can’t get enough of 5:14. Scott is just amazing. How does he even get that sound and moreover how does he come up with it in the first place. So impressive.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

These guys are incredible. I don’t know how they even come up with it either. I saw them live at thr beginning of April. Wow they blew my mind.

@IllShivyou 8 месяцев назад

⁠came back to this video. Really appreciate your reply. Keep killing RU-vid. I just can’t get enough of Polyphia and Steve Vai haha.

@tuckerhiggins4336 Год назад

I'd love more than anything to have brass integrated in a full song in the album

@bobcieslinski Год назад

That would be pretty cool.

@loganryan1317 Год назад

This is a my first polyphia song an I'm very happy w where I came in. An ofc ik Steve lol

@bobcieslinski Год назад

It’s an awesome one for sure Logan.

@sarcasmoassholio4208 Год назад

Vai is using his new technique called Joint Shifting....Look up Polyphias interview with Vai. Vai is like their Mr Miagi lol.

@vhaarr Год назад

Around 4:30 you talk about "featuring Scott"; but you clearly forgot the first solo he does at the very start of Playing God (when the camera focuses on him). It's extremely epic.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

I think this whole album is featuring Scott. It feels like each song he’s getting his time to shine.

@leonardholifield8808 Год назад

Great commentary 👌

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Thanks Leonard!

@sasuke72911 Год назад

Really appreciate how detailed your reaction is! You help me find words to explain how great this song is 🫡

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Thanks so much for the kind words! You made my day.

@joelronish1625 Год назад

The brass player is brasstracks. Not sure of his name but his music is very good.

@ayoubz7190 Год назад

i love your polyphia react bro !

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Thanks man!

@aaronhall4520 Год назад

Look at scott's face at 6:57 you say he makes it look effortless, his face just says "fuck yeah!", you want an accurate gauge for how god like Steve Vai is, watch his pinky between 7:51 and 8:02

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Both incredible. They are total beasts! Amazing!

@jamesbell8861 Год назад

@getbrutal4388 Год назад

the intro to steve vais portion was his most difficult part, it's so clean and using his new joint shift technique, i dont think it's layered at all, its all him

@bobcieslinski Год назад

He’s so incredible and this collab was awesome!

@mattharris2398 Год назад

This band broke the mold

@bobcieslinski Год назад

For sure love them. I actually scored tickets to see them in April.

@mattharris2398 Год назад

@@bobcieslinski i will 4 sure be looking for them to be playing in SF

@bobcieslinski Год назад

@@mattharris2398 I’m excited it’s an intimate venue and I’ve go balcony seats second row. I should have a great view of everyone thing including drums.

@oliverrajcevski8333 Год назад

Hey man sounds like you have some white noise on some of the videos. Maybe the sound card, maybe cables. Other than that wonderful video and analysis all the best!

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Thanks Oliver! Yeah it took months to locate it too. Right after this video I finally found the source. It was so frustrating looking for it but I got things worked out now.

@logannewman4532 Год назад

Something I have noticed with them is that they compose most of their songs with real movements.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

They are amazing. I actually have tickets to see them in April. I can’t wait to see them live.

@mynamesdalton7186 Год назад

The torch has been passed

@bobcieslinski Год назад

For sure.

@robertchristian9361 Год назад

Great reaction bro 😎. But my only complaint is that I think your foot is on the mic cord.

@bobcieslinski Год назад

I am thinking you are referring to the faint buzz. This was the last video that had it. Something happened in my setup. I never had the buzz and it just started randomly one day. It took 3 months to find it and now it’s gone.

@tinmachine693 Год назад

3 guys who never visited a barber shop and a guy who looks like he was drawn for an anime comic who even looks cool when he's standing still. + Next level musical talent, what could possibly go wrong?

@bobcieslinski Год назад

Dude that’s spot on and hilarious. If you got that kinda talent you can do pretty much anything. Lol
