Plini x GGD "Benny Greb" 

I love how this is an insult and a compliment at the same time.

Plini is just a laid-back, low-key kind of guy. If he were to put on some high-energy performance, yelling and jumping around the stage, it would just come off as forced. That's not who he is, and there's nothing wrong with it.

@@definitelynotanAIchatbot completely agreed!

His hair is usually carefully styled to make it look like he just woke up.

You're not wrong. But this video is MIDI drums lol

@@billmint8122 I'm aware. I've been programming midi since I was 8! Thank you though :)

Aw man come on drummers! Don't let MIDI do to us what the internet did to T.V. News reporters!...😬 **ADOPT A DRUM SET TODAY!**🥁

Sort of. I'd like to see what Benny might actually play.

Just like every other "playthrough" nowadays. Not too long ago, artists' careers were dashed on the rocks for lip-syncing.

@Undercoverbus yeah but I remember seeing he used Archetype Rabea for the opening synth

@@geordihills yea definitely archetype bea

If it is, it's likely using Neural DSP Archetype Rabea

It is yeah, it's using archetype rabea he made a post writing the intro recently

Ah! Cool, thanks guys. Where can I find back this post?

@@jesperheuver5779 actually think he might of deleted it

@@adgtr383 okay, thanks for checking, appreciate it! (:

3 VERY different musical styles

@@ChalkyWilston Like trying to compare apples to steak to sushi.

@@ktoddk99 they all play progressive instrumental music.

@@fantasticnisopta It's true that it's all prog, but prog is such a catch-all you're better using subgenres. I'd put AAL as djent, Polyphia as prog metal/rock, and Plini as jazz fusion. They're all similar, but different at the same time.

@@ktoddk99 Polyphia may have used to be metal/rock now they are very much not that. Maybe hip hop/pop with Scotties guitar solo's layered all over it.

Glad I'm not the only one. It reminds me of those sweet vintage Roland and zoom drum machine metal snare sounds 😂

@@atacimic I`m pretty sure it`s the recording process and it`s a pity because the sound that Benny makes in reality, if you sit next to his drums is tremendous and anything but this. Also, that 13" Sonor snare is a shotgun.

@@bishopoftroy I could see that. I think this kit is probably amazing when layered under an electronic kit/track. The more nuanced lower velocity hits sound warm and organic, but that snare has an oddly artificial stacked sound with high velocity strikes.

Are you one of those people who thinks that only the "starving artist" has artistic integrity? We should be glad that geniuses like Plini are able to create music full-time. Hardly anyone actually buys albums nowadays, and ticket/merch sales are often only enough to cover the expenses of touring. Plini is an indie artist, so forget about any financial support from a record label. The sad fact is, he and his crew are largely dependent on sponsorships to pay the bills, and they aren't exactly living in mansions and driving Bugattis like some pilled-out SoundCloud rappers. As long as they keep making music that is true to their vision, then I don't see the problem. You'd have to have a massive sense of entitlement to complain about an artist getting paid if you just listen to their music for free on RU-vid/Spotify.

@@definitelynotanAIchatbot you totally missed my point about lip-syncing and I always support Plini through purchases and viewership, as he deserves to be.

@@briancrumpacker What is wrong with pantomiming in a music video? The point of a music video is to add a visual element to an already mixed and produced song. It's not like he's pantomiming during live performances like Milli Vanilli. Are you suggesting that he isn't actually playing guitar during his concerts, or are you expecting his music videos to consist entirely of footage from the studio recording? I don't really understand what you're taking issue with.

@@briancrumpacker And what's up with the "money grab" comment? Do you want the man to get sponsorships or not? He's still playing guitar lines that he wrote himself.

@@briancrumpacker I'm still waiting on your response. Have you maybe realized how stupid your take was and are now too embarrassed to reply back?
