People mention how in sync the bass and drummer are but the thing that really impresses me outside of Tim's guitar playing is the drummer's use of "negative space" - all the places he rests really add dramatic effect.
200% good point
You say Tim's guitar playing like he's the only guitarist in polyphia
@@SK23.they say it like Tim's guitar skills are the most obviously impressive thing about Polyphia's music....which is a correct thing to say imo. Polyphia has genius out the wazoo, and Tim's skills are only a part of it
@@ObnoxiousNinja99 you missed my point. im not denying tim's skills, what im saying is that hes not the only one writing or playing the parts in these songs. Scott writes a lot of their music. The big picture is that both of them are equally responsible for the impressive guitar work in the band, not just Tim.
i'm a bassist, so very biased, but it's the negative space in the bassline that stands out to me. The way it just drops out, really makes you feel the contrast
As a guy who’s poured 12 hours over the past 2 days to learn the first 20 seconds of this song at a little above half speed…I can tell you those 16th note triplet harmonic resolutions are no joke.
It took me 70 hours to learn the intro riff of this song at full speed. Def a big challenge
@@nate_ock I know I'm months late on this but the craziest part about this guys is that Tim literally writes his guitar riffs digitally and then ASSUMES he can play it afterwards
@@georgenassar1953and that's how Math rock was created lol "It works in theory, it must work in real life"
5:40 - I watched a documentary about Tim Henson and it had this anectode:
A friend of Tim's asked him how he was so good at guitar.
Tim said, "Practice".
The friend said, "How much do you practice?"
Tim said, "I don't know, like 12 hours per day."
asians* :) more power to them
As a guitarist, I can firmly say that the "bridge" (the Bass/Drum duet) is my favorite part of this song. haha
Gonna be one hell of a ride once O.D. makes the rounds for your dive into the Polyphia rabbit-hole lol. Hella fun watching someone else experience these guys for the first time again, subscribed!
Same. I subscribed based on Tony’s “Playing God” reaction. O.D. Is supposed to be based on a Kanye track. ✨🤪
Absolutely, O.D. is one of my favorites. G.O.A.T. is a lot of fun for the reaction videos, but structurally it feels more like a jam session where they are trading riffs and solos. Some of their others (like O.D.) are more structured songs.
For real, I look up more reaction videos rather than listen to them solo now lol
Trust me bro, from Polyphia's first albumn to latest albumn their all songs are bangers...I swear!!!
The song "Yas" is another fun one. Great reactions, dude.
yes, same bass player. Bass and drummer are both named Clay, fyi. agreed, the band is tight and technically amazing. TBH though, at least in the videos...it is the production quality and editing that is so OP. Really glad you're diggin this Tony!
Gotta love a band that is skilled enough to shock and amaze professionals as well as lure in the casuals with the same playing.
Loved seeing you notice the triplet (?) figure the drummer did. That's easily one of my favorite moments of the whole song. The use of space in this track is absolutely incredible.
One of the coolest live bands I’ve ever seen. I was into them, but I didn’t go to see them. They stole the whole entire show. They know how to get a crowd dancing.
Man I love watching you react , found your channel recently and you’re one of the best for it ! You actually know what you’re talking about with music , mixing and production and because of that you give some awesome insight .the way you catch the tiny little details like the bassist and drummer lining up ! Polyphia truly is peak musicianship and has really been able to create something special in their tone . I think Tim and Scott are truly taking guitar into a new realm . I feel like guitar hasn’t been this changed up since evh made tapping famous
From a video production standpoint I've always loved how they're wearing black t-shirts in "heaven" and white t-shirts in "hell."
There are 'Making of...' videos on Tims channel where he breaks down how he wrote a song. He has one for GOAT, you may have found it already. I heard these guys for the first time a few weeks ago and still going down the rabbit hole.👌
It's always super fun getting blown away by a band. It's just about as fun to show it to a friend and watch their mind get blown. Then, needing to fill that hole, there is yet more pleasure to be found in seeing the work you praise earn the respect of subject matter experts. Thank you for validating my taste. These are the only reactions I really care about. Charismatic Voice and Geebz are my other go-tos. Subscribing here now.
Great to meet you
I've never seen someone use a pick while simultaneously finger-picking.
Polyphia dropped a track called 'Ego Death' featuring Steve Vai!!!
oh you already got to it XD
Dude, i fucking love these guys. It just makes me feel like the 20 years of playing guitar was like futile lol. They're just soooo gooood
I agree with the other commentors, OD, Look but Dont Touch, and 40 oz is great. I think Yas would also be great as it brings you to another great instrumental group in CHON! Also, Dance Gavin Dance Synergy or Man of the Year tree city sessions would be a great react!
Playing God is in another level as well 🔥
Goose and Drown are two of my favorites
Ahhhh man.. the look of defeat as a guitar player at 2:12 is priceless. Because my reaction to this was the same.. it just ain’t fair 😂
Highly recommend O.D. and Yas. Loved this reaction and your overall vibe, keep em coming!
I wish you were my band director in high school, I found Polyphia in 2016 which is the year I graduated and having any level of appreciation for guitar music or drums is really cool
Hope you keep doing Polyphia. One of the most unique bands out there right now and they only get better and better with every release.
Henson said in an interview that it took him an hour to get the guitar down…..wild!
Tim started on violin at a very young age, switched to guitar in his early teens. His mother is Chinese.
Very awesome and genuine reactions, this band is very killer with mixing genres and specially they are very strong with the instruments they are playing, good combination of awesome unquie players in one go!
It is indeed 4 years of hair growth lol
Lol 😆
Got to see this live not long ago.. mind blown
I wish I could hear this song again for the first time and relive the moment
Oh man. Once you see their song O.D. You’re gonna lose your mind! I just found your videos but I really like your presence on camera and I’m working through your other videos now! But yes, please, definitely try O.D.!!
Great reaction, I would suggest checking out their video for the song O.D. next!!
Yep, this is the first song I heard of theirs and I was hooked immediately. Then I looked them up and listened to everything they had released! Been following them ever since! Love your content and your reactions. Yes, you stop and rewind a lot but at least when you do it you add value to why you did by giving us something more you caught regarding some detail you picked up! You have a great ear for even the smallest details. I just laugh now when you do it because of your enthusiasm! Plus, most likely you are going to point out something I either missed or also geeked out on, lol! Glad I subscribed to you when you did your reaction to Playing God! I hope you do more reactions to Polyphia! They have lots of songs that are bangers!
Some must watches are G.O.A.T, Goose, OD, Yas, and pretty much their entire New Levels New Devils and The Most Hated albums. They are truly amazing.
This is G.O.A.T. 😅
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Check out Robert Svärd's flamenco version of GOAT. I bet he's the reason the boys picked up nylon acoustics.
They come from heaven bro🤘
Dude 40oz is no joke either with the sweep lick, Tim also did a super in-depth video on how he builds beats like goat and O.D. On the computer
Yeah, right? Blows my mind. This is the tune I send my guitar playing friends. It’s so tight. I’ve seen live video-it’s the same.
There are a lot of talented players out there and a lot of amazing bands.
Have you checked out Maximum the Hormone? Try the song Alien first.
When you hear complex music and just laugh... you know it's good
Loved your reaction. Such a sick song, so many pleasureable sounds.
A song to listen to by these guys is definitely Loud off of The Most Hated. Totally different vibe, kinda like post boss battle type stuff, while still including their usual crazy playing style!
love music. and rap n rock are my favorites. So this is awesome for me. And a very smart idea to take rock guitar playing and have rap vibes and bass with. That's pretty awesome they do that. So being a guitar solo guy and loving rap n rock makes this perfect imo. No vocals just badass guitar playing and having a rap like vibe with it is great.
It's cool you like this but there's probably a reason.
This song is literally a rap beat sped up and transcribed to guitar. There's a lot more to it than that, but that's the easiest explanation lol.
Nice reaction bro!
I played classical guitar since I was like 10 but in highschool band I started at bass but ended up in precussion cause of the lack of bass parts and my rampant adhd id just chill back there most of the time till they started giving me the timpany
so idk how your highschool band program was structured but it may not be a good guage of guitarists around. (we only had band {orchestral} and jazz band)
that being said the medium sized town I grew up in (canada) has an AMAZING guitar teacher who graduated with a masters in music from Cambridge who is just a top knotch guy and as a result we have a wealth of tremendously talented classically trained guitarists. just sayin more people shredding than you know
They were The Most Hated
Now The Most Loved
To become The Most Legendary
Just discovered your channel. Really enjoying your reactions and breakdowns.
I definitely recommend the drum cams for Tool - Pneuma and Sleep Token - Hypnosis.
First reactor to catch rege rhythm. Nice.
Cool reaction! If you like Polyphia you need to check out the band Unprocessed. Deadrose or Rain from them are super good. They also have a song called Real wich features Tim and Clay from Polyphia
*Clay Gober (the unique bassist) to be very precise
Awesome reaction.
Since you are at it..."Yas" next please?
They were featured in a track called ‘real’ by the unprocessed. Highly recommend you take a listen.
When you get a chance..maybe do a reaction on their song "O.D"
watching experts doing a perfect execution...
I feel like Saucy is one of their under rated songs, Clay lays down one of the nastiest bass lines I have hear this side of les claypool.
Can’t wait until you come across O.D. & Goose!
Down the Polyphia rabbit hole you go. Check out 40 oz. Goose, OD, the entire New Levels, New Devils album, and when they blow your hair back just go for the ride man.
🔥🔥🔥
You should try Periphery - Erised, it blew my mind when i first heard that
'look but don't touch' is another banger that has more of a metal edge (it's pretty heavy). The clip is hilarious aswell :D
Hei am from indonesia and your reaction so good😎🤘🔥
Gorgeous music...
You should check out the playthrough by the band Intervals of their song, String Theory!
If you like Polyphia, a band you might like to react to is Asterism. A young mostly instrumental prog/metal trio from Fukuoka, Japan.
The guitarist HAL-CA (pronounced either hal-ka or Haruka, her real name) and bassist Miyu are probably my favourites in their respective instruments at the moment. The drummer Mio is also no slouch. They have been writing and performing their own music on stage since they formed when Haruka and Miyu were 12, Mio 14.
Their first album 'Ignition' was produced by Bootsy Collins after he found them on facebook when they were 15, 16 and 18yrs respectivly, and included Buckethead as a guest on a couple of tracks.
A good, gentle, introduction would be the track 'Church' off their latest album 'Guernica +A' th-cam.com/video/pkiKSBX8JPA/w-d-xo.html
Another great track is is 'Dawn', imho the best version is th-cam.com/video/buQPvINJcA0/w-d-xo.html despite the not perfect quality of the video you really get to see Haruka play, and her fantastic stage presence.
I was just gonna recommend Asterism, my favorite would be Gunfire, but i guess Church and especially Dawn would be a great first impression. They seriously are (skill-wise) a japanese polyphia. I do love the 360° stuff but that's probably a bit hard to react to, since you have to constantly look around :P
Plus Blaze (Live) is also great stage energy by Hal-Ca.
There's a Swedish flamenco player who covered this song and probably served as the inspiration for them to pick up acoustics.
here he is: th-cam.com/video/UgqmxsxXnC0/w-d-xo.html
His name is Robert Svärd.
Polyphia - Crush is highly underrated. :P
"Where are they from? Texas?" Gimme some of that water
Give me everything they're eating
Tim Henson makes me realize that, if I had to burn my guitars to stay warm, I'd be fine with it! And, if you want any firewood, let me know. 🙂
Hahaga great comment
⏩ Video Question: How do you find new music? Friends, social media, random Spotify searches, TH-cam dives etc. and so on? Tell me your methods
For live content catch me on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/drumrolltony
Festivals, at Danish festivals they don`t get payed much so it`s mostly 3-4 big bands, and 30 unknown bands filling up the festival. 2020 and 2021 been bad years on that front. in 2019 I was the Denmark's biggest festival, and found this new Danish all girl Doom metal band (slow dark metal). The video is also from that festival, I assume it`s the biggest venue they played at, even tho it`s the smallest of 6 stages at the festival.
KONVENT - Puritan Masochism (Official Video) | Napalm Records
th-cam.com/video/NdR24AURUwU/w-d-xo.html
And a subscription to you tubers like napalm record also help, think that`s where I found Jinjer.
Friends and TH-cam/Spotify stations
I just search youtube. Reaction channels help.
Reaction channels
I haven't 'TWITCHED' since 1986 I don't think ... LOL. But seriously I've never used that platform, I always thought it was for gamer walkthroughs and shit ... ??? I'll ask my kids what it's all about.
I recommend Dance Gavin Dance
Man of The Year is a good one to start with
People who dont recognize the loon call is so funny to me as a canadian
Not only is there so much more polyphia to check out, there's also Ichika.
th-cam.com/video/DRfzittQ4Wc/w-d-xo.html
The only guy to properly react to the drum at 5:07 👏👏👏
Drummer x Drummer understandable
Check out "The Aristocrats", perhaps the couple of live videos from Vladivostok (Blues Fuckers with the drum solo is awesome)
Regarding how many hours it took to perfect... In one of his interviews, Tim actually answered this question, sort of. He said that the most it took him to perfect a piece was 2 hours. It wasn't about GOAT specifically, it was just a general question, something along the lines of "how many hours does it take for you to master something after writing it?" 2 hours. That dude is an alien, I'm telling you. It's humanly impossible to be this good haha
Well lol the skillet needed to play the material is far longer than 2 hours in development. That's my whole point.
Check out their song culture shock
You should listen to their really early stuff. This is the album where they found their current sound.
I'll take some links. Would love to react to it
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I'll give you a mini-retrospective.
th-cam.com/video/CJJjCsNOBLU/w-d-xo.html
This is from their 2013 album and it's pretty firmly a instrumental metalcore/technical metal album. Straight-forward, but difficult to play, and they were all really young.
th-cam.com/video/tv7Hyz4hqm0/w-d-xo.html
In 2016 they released Renaissance and that's when the transformation and exploration really started. They started implementing more pop ideas in their tech-prog-metal writing.
th-cam.com/video/2hln1TOQUZ0/w-d-xo.html
By their 2018 release, they have confidently developed their interesting pop-rock-metal-hip-hop fusion sound. This is the release with G.O.A.T., which is arguably their stand-out song on the album.
From then-on, you are familiar with their sound. Hope this helps!
same bass player
Tim Henson (guitar)
Scott LePage (guitar)
Clay Aeschliman (drums)
Clay Gober (bass)
tim also does a shitload of the production. scott is also criminally underrated
10 sec in......throws guitar out window
🍻😅🤟
On the "bands that cover a lot of styles" I'm going to once again suggest Snarky Puppy. Really anything off their "We Like it Here" album/session is a great place to start for reactions. And Larnell Lewis is a monster on the kit.
I used to play on ships with one of SP sax players. I'm familiar with that band. I'm primarily featuring bands in not familiar with at the start of this TH-cam channel
I'm glad you like them so much 😊 always happy to introduce new music to people. Hope you check out more of their stuff.
Do Goose next!
probably helps Tim is always hybrid picking
Enjoy the discover of polyphia. You’ll be seeing a bunch of new stuff now lol.
you need to react to od by polyphia.Belive me you will like the drum part a lot:)
Between Tim Hansen Polyphia. Tulson Abasi animals as leaders and Will Swan dance Gavin dance I am throwing my guitar away so much joy watching so much agony knowing no matter how fast I drive I’ll never catch that F1
👀😅 yeaaaaa sometimes it feels like that
DO THEIR SONG OD!!!!!
Do blood moon and in the cut!
4 years of hair growth haha
Please do Paradise
Should listen to Nasty by them
I'll get to that one soon I think. Looking forward to it
O. D.
Would be really cool of you checked out The Jungle by Polyphia since there aren’t many reactions to it, a more melodic and completely different style compared to Goat or Playing God
👀Is there a video or just audio?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts just audio
@@DrumRollTonyReacts and btw, Jakob Zytecki (Disperse) performs an amazing guest solo on the song so one more feature to look forward to
The Prog Rock kings of the 21st century. 1:44 - "keyboard stuff"? Not sure but I think they just use 2 guitars, bass and drums.
The very first stuff we hear is what I was referring to. Very keyboard patch like. Has like a tubular bell sound to it. That's why I thought of crotales
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I didn't get the reference to crotales at the time and wondered about the reference to putting them in water but it makes sense now. Funny you reference tubular bells as there was some guitar work that reminded me of the 'fuzzy guitar' as Mike Oldfield calls it on the album Tubular Bells (which was the 1st album I ever bought, saving my pocket money for 3 weeks to buy the vinyl back in 1975!).
Check out OD and 40oz as next tracks from Polyphia!
Seahawks!!!
🤟👏
Not my style, but the guitar playing is excellent
Surprisingly ( or not ), GOAT is comparatively easy to play compared to their other stuff like OD and 40Oz.
Great reactions! Try O.D for brainfuck
PLEEEEEEEASE do 40oz by Polyphia
I'll honestly never ever understand how someone can "enjoy" a new song when they pause it every few seconds to talk about it...
I will NEVER understand why someone thinks I need to listen to music like they do? I have seen a ton of reaction channels that just sit there mouth breathing and be like "wow that's so good , see you in the next video" he'll nawww😅😅😅. Let's get into this shit. Rewind. Often. Hear what's going on. Guess patterns, identify shifts, progressions, admire technical aspects etc and so on. A straight forward listen is for normal people. That is not me. Zzzzz
Sounds like you have a hard time seeing outside of your own little experience on this planet. Noted.
please do yas
other Polyphia personal recomendations by "genre":
- (Jazzy) The Worst, Yas
- (Jazzy-Funky) Saucy, Death Note (which features Ichika in a very particular, clever and tasty way), Drown (ft. a godly solo by the great Mateus Asato)
- (Rock-Jazz) Ivory, Nightmare
- (EDM-Rock-Jazz) LIT, 40oz
By the way: This song name is correctly read as "Greatest Of All Time"
That's usually what GOAT means 🏈
