Oh man Steve Vai is a guitar god in the game- if you've never checked him out Watch his performance of 'Tender Surrender' in your spare time.. It's one of the most majestic things I've ever listened to
Also check out the aristocrats. I feel like Polyphia is heavily influenced by them. Guthrie Govan is a guitar legend as well as marco Minneman on drums. Just amazing talent and energy
they're amazing live. I saw them this summer. they're accuracy live is mind blowing. they interact with the crowd really well. as an average (at best) guitar player, it was one of the best live shows I've seen. standing about 2m in front of tim helped! they're touring uk/europe next spring. the show is 100% worth going to.
I'd say they produce the most mass suited music and thats not meant in a bad way. -I think every guitar enthusiast agrees that those guys are extremly skilled and sound amazing and that uncommon in the guitar community that all groups would agree on that. -Every music nerd enjoys geeking out on their music. -And people who are not that much into music and dont pay that much attention to what they are listening to, like their music because of the way they sound. Those guys will have a really bright future.
I'm going to see these guys in Dallas next April, and I'm beyond excited. These guys have been my new favorite band since they released Play God earlier in the year. I've listened to their entire catalog and I gotta say, this new stuff really is the pinnacle of their music. It showcases all the different elements they've incorporated over the years in a very groovy and cohesive way. Great reaction guys. I appreciate any exposure Polyphia can get!
These guys are nuts. I've always enjoyed Steve Vai and Joe Satriani and the other virtuosos but man these guys are really really cool - ithey are kind of making instruemental rock and metal and prog more popular and mainstream!
Man….man. They never disappoint and to have one of the greats accompany them like that….shit that had to have been a dream of theirs. Always very technical of course, but Vai adds that extra bit of gravitas that just…smh. 10/10. All day. Love you guys and thanks for the reaction.
I haven't seen it, but I had seen someone had said that there's a video of Tim reacting to Steve Vai saying that Tim was his pick for top modern guitarist. Supposedly Tim said something along the lines of "When your hero calls you great"
“Who’s she” omg I busted up at this. I sent the music video to a friend of mine and she said something similar about not being able to tell if Tim was a man or woman. Lol I doubt he’d mind. Dudes one of the best if not the best guitarist on the planet, and he’s heavily leaned into his kind of androgynous look.l as the years have gone on.
Hi guys, big fan! You guys seem pretty interested in Polyphia. Might I suggest reacting to their new song Chimera. It has just been released on their new album. I think Dave, especially, will like this as it is quite heavy for a new polyphia song!
Never heard of this band. Not really my style but they're musically very very talented and this song in particular I really enjoyed. Is the guy with all the tats part Japanese?
There r reaction channels that react to only music and they have hundreds of thousands of subscribers... maybe they won't all get 100k views but ppl do like to watch music reactions as well, and u will still gain subs off of the videos so work n a music video or 2 a week... variety is what makes ur channel good and music should b a part of that variety
Actually technical yes but he is usually described more as an emotional player vs others like Satriani or Petrucci. Anytime you see him play live he gets so into it. And as far as humming his music, well…I do. His catalog is quite expansive. I can hum older polyphia but most of their newer stuff is all over the place and finding the melody is very difficult. This song is an exception as it has a recurring melody that pops up among the million notes being played.
@@mpkelley20 I'm not a musician and I had never heard of Polyphia before this video. My comment referred to the "casual" music listener like myself and the vast majority of my friends and coworkers. We've heard of Vai and know he's a very talented guitarist that has played with many other famous musicians/bands. But if we are in a situation where no music is on, he doesn't pop into our heads subconsciously like Eddie or Slash might, for example. Basically his works aren't as mainstream, but to most "music" people I know, being mainstream is basically an insult.
you dont react to music because it gets copy write claimed and you make no money from it the other content you react to has a far greater chance of not being copy write claimed and so you make money. why did you feel the need to fabricate this elaborate lie around views when we can see them and know they didnt "fall off the cliff" as you suggested lmao
It's so weird to me when I see people say stuff like this about the song. For me, this song is incredibly amazing and I get emotional listening to it. It feels like it's the band showing just how much they've evolved and the pinnacle they've reached. Featuring a guitar legend like Steve Vai just proves how talented these guys are.
