I think it's funny that people get drawn to Vai "on the throne", when Tim and Scott both sat on it during their parts too :)
no one cares
@@eltiopavilla5520 Who hurt you?
It wasn't at the top when they sat in it...
@@hitmixhyepock9405 so? The entire point of the throne is it signifies the guitarist who is leading that section. Tim first. That section definitely has his 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 progression from the intro and the trumpet outro in each section but with the Lead giving their interpretation. It's both beautifully simple and amazing intricate at the same time. A masterpiece of writing.
its probably because they see the throne before vai, as opposed to the other way around with the others
Polyphia gives you real hope for real music in the future
I totally agree!
These guys never cease to amaze me. And with Steve Vai! Excellent tune.
For sure Ed, I really enjoyed it too :)
The drummer is so on point it's ridiculous
For real, unsung hero. The Frank Beard of the band
I prefer his live performance since on record it sounded like a drum machine
If I recall correctly, Tim does a lot of his initial songwriting on computer in Ableton as an electronic producer would, before essentially transcribing it to guitar. I remember an interview from a couple of years back where he basically said that he makes hip hop beats and then figures out how to play them on guitar. It’s a wildly different approach to the instrument-and specifically to songwriting on the instrument- from what 99% of guitar players with a blues/rock/jazz foundation develop doing.
They will get a grammy for this one :D
love how polyhia are so tight and technical then steve appears and immediately starts dropping dive bomb pitch bends as only he can. what a track. absolute masterclass.
The other guitarist is Scott LePage 😉
Noted! Thank you Brittany :)
WOW! This was quite a listening experience. They were so tight. Loved all those changes in dynamics. Bryan there is an inner drummer in you. Now I gotta look up your previous reaction video of Steve’s playing.
Awesome! Keep me posted on what is on the grill! lol
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar lol. I’m very fortunate to have the weather to grill during most of the winter.
I just discovered this band and am loving them
I like the fact they are doing something different guitar styles tend to evolve over time But lovely to see Mr vai doing enough not to overshadow the other musicians being a fan of Mr Steve vai since the flexable album and his work with Frank zappa,did u know vai gave prince the ibanez he played on for the love of god Again my brother keep up stellar work
Peace and b wild
Thank you Taurrean! I have heard a few stories about Prince and Vai.... that is very interesting! :)
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar he also got so excited that prince did a cover of tender surrender,Such lovely stories around But I think Steve vai appreciates musicianship as long as its from the heart.This is what keeps musicianship alive and exciting,when the elders are pushing boundaries and nurturing the new generation to be tomorrow's greats.
Great work my brother
Peace and b wild
Yes, Scott is EVERY bit the guitar beast as Tim. Out of Plano, TX- can you believe that?💪🏻🤘🏻
amazing and miracle
4:52 - in an interview Tim says they sometimes write the music first then figure out how to play it
Hey man since you're in to the more "drive-driven" things from Polyphia, i think you really would enjoy checking Aviator and Crush. Two really great songs from them!
For sure! I did a reaction to a live version of Aviator awhile ago, but I'll check Crush out! Thank you :)
Nightmare. Still my favorite song by them.
Those are literally my 2 favorite tracks of polyphia.
Great Video! You are right, Polyphia is really an interesting and unique Band
Couldn't agree more Devil definitely!
Loved the vocals on this one.
:D
Awesome song. Yeah, no doubt you are right about Steve, but then he learned a lot about running things early on from Frank Zappa and has a very organised and disciplined way of handling things. Love Dave Wiener and it would be amazing to see you interview him. He is a hell of a guy, an outstanding musician and he's pretty much the first thing Steve packs when hes going on tour. Great channel, tho I am bit jealous of your awesome music room.
You are far too kind Dave, thank you :)
Respect
Good reaction ...subscribed
Awesome thank you Huang! :)
Great react and good video :)
Did you ever saw some of Tim Henson youtube video ? He posting some unplugged music version and sometime explain how he wrote some of their music, all the videos are pretty amazing !
This channel is great too!
Glad you think so! Thank you!
good reaction, cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
They all sat in the throne.
Tony MacAlpine is fantastic.
Steve Vai is the best...the HALO 2 theme in a one and done.
As you are such a Vai fan, it'd be interesting to hear/see you react to something of Devin Townsend's? How much of Vai might there be in DT's playing after being in his band? For instance Failure, from the live Plovdiv performance
I'm a huge Devin Townsend fan, his SYL stuff is a mainstay on my playlist when I'm in the gym :)
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar How much of an influence do you think Vai was for him, in terms what you can hear in his playing, especially post-SYL?
@@npinjest7779 I'm sure he was an influence on him of some sort, especially since playing and singing for Vai was his first real professional gig.... I was always curious as to when he departed Vai, I'm under the impression it wasn't the nicest parting of ways dude to some stuff I read back in the day but I'm not 100% sure....
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar I think the story was that SV was not looking for a co-writer, while DT had creativity coming out of his ears and was quite young, so that did not work out. That said, evidently, no bridges were burned, since they've gotten together since, e.g. look up Devin Townsend and Steve Vai Starmus 2017 on YT (th-cam.com/video/YS0EY20ktH8/w-d-xo.html) UPD: Totally forgot, Vai did a solo on Singularity from DT's Empath album in 2019.
When reacting to music I think it might be worth it to use headphones. Anyways good reaction
Satriani next please
They all sat in the same chair
Scottie is his name
Steve Vai makes this song!
pole eefee ya
Lol ok noted :)
If you really like the drummer, then you can check several of Polyphia's songs from his PoV. Clay has made several videos on YT where you can see him tracking the drums on Polyphia's music. (Goat and Playing God at least are available 100% sure)
Thank you Yvan! I will check that out :)
I'm gonna just say it. Interview the Weener
Lol I just might :)
poleafia
I feel so bad for Scottie hes legit one of the best guitarists in the world right now but Tim Henson's ability casts a shadow over Scottie at times. Both absolutely key components to why polyphia is as good as they are.
Such a stupid comment lol. Both are amazing guitarists in their own right, Tim just gets way more exposure as he regularly uploads on his channel and seems to be the brains behind the marketing aspects of their band. They're both at roughly the same level of skill. Just look at Scottie's parts in the new album or even older stuff like his riff in GOAT which is arguably the most difficult part of the song.
Your EQ has treble too low I think. Something....idk what's off
Why can't you afford TH-cam Premium? Then you won't have ad's messing up your video's and getting free exposure on YOUR channel. I'm sorry, but that little distraction is a big turn off for a lot of viewers, the cost is easily worth the additional subs! Please do the math, it sucks, but that's business. I am one who would choose not to subscribe, just assuming your an amature. Clearly that's not the case. So I'm making an exception, please consider getting premium to gain a larger sub base.🙂
Thank you Dave, I really appreciated this post, I just signed up for it now. I didn't realize the benefits of it for someone with a channel. I owe you a coffee sometime you are in my area! Happy New Year
I hope you don't take this as offensive, but maybe watch a Polyphia interview so you don't keep mispronouncing the name.
Hey BCG! All good man constructive criticism is good! Funny story for you! I was out of the music industry for a couple of years, and I was absolutely clueless about this band, I honestly never heard of them until I did this review video some time ago, I'm more familiar with them now lol.
@@YesYouCANPlayGuitar 0:26
Tattoos? That’s when I turned this off.
Me too!
Stopping in the most good moments is annoying. Talking about things that viewer see himself as well.
Sorry bro 😞
Puh-lih-fia dude... Not Puh-leefy--ya
Thank you :)
