FIRST REACTION to the Incredible POLYPHIA (G.O.A.T) 🐐🎸🔥 

I discovered this band and this song this morning. After listening to it like 30 times today, I'm still not prepared.

@@ThyLLiS- lol hear it live...prepare to be disappointed.

@@TheEvilWithinKevin Actually I've seen some lives, i found it not that bad. I've seen some people destroying their ability to play live, so I was prepared to a desaster, but it's actually not bad.

@@TheEvilWithinKevin is an unbelieveble hard song to play. Is so tight they have to be perfect timed to play this live. Give them some time and they will mastered it. They are music monsters

@@TheEvilWithinKevin still better than studioforce

I think my face is still stuck like that.

Dude, totally. I just found them last week. It's totally conventional guitar playing, music. Shocked, confused, amazed. Yea, yea me too lol

@@ChaseCarneson and then you haven't seen them do this live...

Yeh me too, but not in the way most people are about it...I just don't get what all the fuss is about?? Must be a guitarist thing, or a new age thing🤮🤮

@@simonilett998 it's about technique and time signatures, very hard technical stuff, I saw the transposed scores of some of their songs and it's all theoretically perfect but even for trained musicians extremely hard to execute correctly (it's like the guitarist's Bela Bartok, - piano music - you hate it first and then you grow to love it because it's just so... oddly perfect in it's own right)

Good shout friend. Yeah it's intense.

I think it's telling that no matter how good the 2 guitars are, the song ends with the 2 guitars being drawn into the drums and the bass elevated with the drums closing it out. Everyone with a music background I've seen talk about it has brought attention to the drums but i haven't seen that aspect of the video mentioned and i believe it was done on purpose. They're in a house of worship and being pulled into the drums. Great stuff

it sounds like the dummer is on a new rift the entire track

To me, the drummer & bass player and their interrplay through the track are the standout performances. Tim and Scott are fantastic, but the rhythm just blows my mind.

@@gerrykavanagh rhythm section always has more fun

I really really appreciate this. Thank you so much for the kind words

This is exactly what I want to say about Chase

Same

First video I've seen of Chase. Was gonna say "stop pausing the video so often" but at the end I really liked what he did. Probably one of the best reactions I've seen. Very knowledgeable of music too

First time seeing one of his reviews. He easily earned another subscriber

Yeah they do in that but there's so many performances where they're either too drunk or just not practiced enough. It's hard to play it this well.

@@MonticArckeys Tim said on his stream that they did it on purpose. The drunk play i mean. I forgot which stream he said that

Watched them play this song live. Can confirm. Equally as good.

Yea except when they tour and they are drunk/high out of their mind 🤣🤣🤣 they did not care at ALL during their first tour but from what I hear their recent shows are really good

oh shoot which one?

Brand new day is the track. It's my favorite one from the album

@@McMan12345671 'Brand New Day' - It's the one that sounds like a Polyphia song with Babymetal doing backup vocals lol

Wow, now that you mention it...

Now I know, I know 😂

he should hear Chon...

There's something so satisfying about watching someone else discover something you like. It's as if you're rediscovering it all over again.

@@KeeperOfKale222 tru tru

LOL I was thinking the same thing

Early polyphia was shit tho with their boring riffs and licks

It's both. It borrows that element from metal where certain chugs are enhanced by the kick to give it more punch. But you're right about the ghost notes, and I don't think the kicks are sampled at that point. He demonstrates it a lot on his Instagram.

Also those high notes arent samples either its tim doing harmonics

I think the oldest is maybe 30. They aren't even close to 40. Babies.

i grew up classically trained. violin … my first live band concert was a phish show and it left such a lasting impression on me how long they could jam out and basically improve for hours and hours. changed my life.

Also Chon!

@@DylboBaggins92 Agreed. That 7/4 time signature is so much fun to jam to

every piece matters! chills every time

+1 for electric sunrise, one of my faves

Papers moons is one of the best musical compositions I have ever heard.

I don't best, Sam

Haha couldn't help myself

Thank you my friend. That's a really nice comment to read.

It's immense

Never ready

I appreciate you.

Lippincott is my favorite from them. Such a GROOVY bass line.

Upvoting this! There's a few bands like AIL that I've avoided suggesting to Chase because I assumed he's heard them before. But if he hasn't heard Polyphia then I think I need to re-evaluate that

Exactly what I was thinking!!!!....

Tosin is probably the greatest living guitarist.

Q3 upvote

Most of the songs from that album is my favorite

The first song i ever heard from them, so glad it popped in my recommended

I saw them live in Dublin... Very very impressive!

I was there too haha. They were incredible. Found it hilarious when Scott said "I forgot the lyrics to this next one so you'll have to sing along". Then they immediately played Champagne and the whole crowd was humming every note

Definitely more of these guys coming out soon.

My guy!!!! 🇿🇦👋💪

I would also recomend ,,aviator,, with one on of the fastes shreding of jameson richardson

Imo goat is just a flex track. OG 40 oZ and light are all just good showcases. The Renaissance album is still my fave

Death note is always my favourite

Champagne!!!

Appreciate that Jamie. Thank you so much.

Nice one. Welcome to the team, Quinton. Lots more to come 💪👌

Thank you so much. This was a an incredible experience and I loved every second of this.

Really appreciate that Micah. Thanks for watching and for the sub. Hopefully you'll find a bunch more videos to enjoy on the channel.

Thank you very much!!!

No, thank you.

Thanks for that man. I do my best.

I appreciate that!

Singing along to champagne while having a dance party is the most fun ive ever had in the pit lmao

Appreciate that. Welcome to the team 👌🙌

Amazing band

Glad you enjoyed. I can't stop listening to it.

Completely agree. Would love to sit in on that.

Not sure who mixed the album, but I know Tim Henson, the guitarist, does a lot of his own mixing and sound engineering

Tim and the others usually record into a DAW with an amp sim or multi fx rig. For this album, most songs were mastered and mixed by two hip hop producers: Judge and Y2K

Its not exactly the same at all but Charlie Robbins, Manuel Fernandes and ichika are generally considered in the same sort of genre.

Love this.

Tim Henson and Scottie Lepage are incredibly talented and they have so many well done songs. Worth checking out.

Ur in for a treat

Glad you liked it. I'm really amped on these guys

@@ChaseCarneson , I've played this track through a few times and stopped actually watching the video (although it is clever in its self) and it just gets better and better.

Haha. BM is tough sometimes as they block a ton of videos. My RoR was taken down but I have more on the way. Promise another one very very soon. I love them.

​@@ChaseCarneson Well I understand that very clearly. Amuse is really breathing down reactors' necks. It's a shame really because what is available on RU-vid does not even compare to what you could find on DVD. I have a list of amazing links put up by the community which I'll share below in case you're interested. One way to avoid blocks is to use the community-developed tool called "ReactorHub" or the simpler method from which the tool originated called "Link & Sync". The idea is straightforward : you provide your viewers with the original video link and you simply countdown "3...2...1...go !" and you let the viewers open the video themselves on another window or screen. I would really love it if you considered using that method for many reasons. A) If you love them already, I can assure you that the best stuff is NOT on RU-vid so you have seen nothing yet. B) You can say bye-bye to blocks and even demonetized videos. Since you don't use any content on your own video you're free as a bird. Now that I've talked the talked, here is a link to a small tutorial on how to use ReactorHub if you have the time : drive.google.com/open?id=1X6hN2BdyKzFmVN9XMEo2M89hsKY0B-bnnHRVVMNY13w And finally here's a link to a community-made list (constantly up to date) of some of the best BABYMETAL videos sorted by album/song. Those are all HQ in terms of Video, Sound mixing and performance : docs.google.com/document/d/1DqPsavocgGvCyZfUHvrkgJ5KZMaMkmMgjy2UxNNG96E/edit

@@ChaseCarneson As dem0n has said, it's entirely possible to do BM reactions without blocks and claims and strikes. You just have to switch to using Reactor Hub. Your video will still be on RU-vid, you can still monetise it (you'll get ALL the monies) and you still get the views, you just don't include any footage or audio from the video you're reacting to. If you use the Hub, the video you're reacting to appears beside your reaction in the same browser window. It's great! You should definitely give it a try. If you like it, use it for other bands too and never have to worry about anything getting blocked ever again :-)

@@ChaseCarneson It might be a bit trickier for you since you like to pause and give those amazing insights, but Reactor Hub actually allows you to pause. A little trickier there but way better than getting your video blocked and/or having to edit your video 5 times to make it go through processing :)

Appreciate that, Alec. Thanks for the support.

definitely love that song, has a dark almost Spanish tone, can wait for his next polyphia vid, they are one of my favorite bands

Thank you for the support. Also nice shout on the reccomendations, will give them a peep.

Got them on the list 💪

How can anyone not????

Thanks for the very kind words. Appreciate it.

Cool huh?

Thank you very much for the support.

I HAVE TO SEE THIS!!!!

@@ChaseCarneson They're not as interesting as Polyphia, more straight metal/rock. But they are really something. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Of course, then that leads me to thinking of 3-piece bands, and then I have to mention The Warning. Three sisters from Mexico (though they mostly sing in english) doing some solid rock, and again, teenagers. I think the oldest, Dany (Daniela) is 20 now. "Dust to dust" is a good start, if no other reason that it's the first track, the prologue, off their second album, which is a concept about a stalker and murder. They are very good now, but personally I can't wait to see what they'll be like in 5-10 years.

@@iDEATH If you're into Japanese guitarists, you should check out Ichika Nito on RU-vid. He's good friends with Polyphia and is featured on their latest album. He's only been playing for like 4-5 years and is an absolute virtuoso!

@@WKerrick Oh yeah? Thanks for the tip, I'll write his name down on the ever expanding list and check him out. :)

Thank you 🙏
