yes 2 songs but its cool experience.
This is a different world, I think you will release 1 video a week like with Dimash, because each of their songs is a skill
Gotta love how now it's become Playing God that's introducing people to Polyphia where before it was ALWAYS G.O.A.T.
and before that was Goose and Armour for sureeeeeee
I was just browsing through Spotify and Playing God by Polyphia was next- GOOD THING I DIDNT SKIPPED IT CAUSE HOLLYYY
James Franco
Goose was my introduction, but yeah, GOAT and Playing God are great successors to being the Polyphia Intro
Icronic got me lol
Listens to 12 seconds of Polyphia: "What?"
Listens to the same 12 seconds again: yeah I have no idea so let's just keep going
😆🎶💯
I think polyphia is the real deal. I really think they're going to be a force for this generation of musicians.
They're almost reaching mainstream appeal as a technical instrumental progressive band. If you would have told me that 10 years ago I'd say you were smoking crack
These guys have incredible musicianship and their music is catchy and groovy. They're going to be monsters in 10 years if they keep up this pace.
just bought tickets to see them in August. can't wait.
I was just talking about how we need guitar bands to come back to mainstream! Like enough auto tune music already!
In 10 years we might have seen one more album from them, maybe two if we are very lucky ^_^
So, I don't know anything how music is made, or how to play any instruments. I really like this song, but I don't understand why people who are in to making music are freaking out so much. Could someone attempt to explain it to me?
@@lens_hunter I come from a guitar playing background. Polyphias music is very technical. Requires very precise actions coordinated perfectly in sync with the beat. Ghost notes, harmonics, hybrid picking with multiple fingers, going all over the fret board, multiple different chord voicings.
And they are playing stuff that would be hard on electric guitars on much more difficult acoustic nylons.
I'm not a drummer but even I can tell theirs is talented as well. Man is basically a drum machine and is playing very technical while also making very good use of space (rests to emphasize the parts that are playing in quick succession)
From a composition point of view they are blending multiple genres together seamlessly and freshly. Flamenco, bossa nova, trap, jazz, metal....
Many artists limit themselves to a single style but polyphia takes from them all but it doesn't sound like a Frankenstein song. It sounds natural.
I could go more into depth with specific parts of the song and the music theory and composition behind them. But this song is very interesting compositionally. There is lots of foreshadowing and multiple voicings. Notice how the song almost completely changes half way through? But if you listen carefully there is foreshadowing throughout the song and towards the end callbacks to the beginning of the song.
I could attempt and eventually learn to play this if I put in enough time. But writing it? Only Tim and the boys could have written this song.
To me that's why it's special.
@@elcastro5000 So it's more than just "they play fast." Thanks for the explanation. Honestly this song is getting me into wanting to play guitar.
I always laugh when i get impressed by something musically as well. Thanks for the reaction video.
Yea - someone was so mad at me lol
Haha i do the same
Yeah same here❤️
I laugh at funerals, weddings, university lectures ... when my wife is yelling at me ... F**K ME, I'M LAUGHING RIGHT NOW. 🤣🤣🤣
What is wrong with me ???? LOL (no actually) LOL
Likewise! Additionally, you can't tell me that scene with Tim closing his eyes laying down, fingers moving at that speed, wasn't funny. Genuinely comedic moment lmao
Finally! The madlad actually did it! Thank you so much for checking out my request! If you'd like to check out more of them. I highly recommend their song G.O.A.T. 😊
I would also love for you to react to the drum playthrough of this song.. Their drummer Clay is amazing.
That was very very fun!
@@DrumRollTonyReacts we neeeeed to see a goat reaction 😂
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Tim Henson has also done a play through of this. All one take with no camera changes. Honestly, it's even more impressive than the music video.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Subscribed based on this Reaction alone. “Playing God” could be my new religion. Lol. Thanks Antnee! Great reaction and insight - watching you have fun was contagious. 🤪
"Don't be offended for someone you don't even know" might be one of the best pieces of life advice I've ever heard. Seriously, don't stress yourself out over people that don't even know you exist
That immediate response when Tim's guitar has grabbed your ear 4 seconds in and we can see the gears turning haha, every musician I've ever seen discover these guys has had the same reaction.
Yeah it's been wild discovering him
Don't be offended for someone you don't know!! True as F***
💯
Clay A the drummer is a master of space... Giving and taking it. He's seriously good at his role. He fills every inch that needs it and he gives every inch of space that's required. What a human.
It is SO impresive; like a vocalist who can write to Polyphia (shoutout Sophia Black). How is it that a virtuoso instrumental band's most interesting part is the dummer?!
In an interview a couple years back Tim Henson (the neck tat guitarist) says that in the middle of the song they have a genre switch to bossanova. So yeah dead on the money there man. All 4 of them are amongst the highest caliber musicians in the industry today and as an instrumental band in their music videos they really highlight their incredible technique, accuracy, just pure musicianship. Waiting for the album announcement later this year. This is going to be a sick album by Polyphia.
Oh also Tim Hensen, Scott Lepage, and Clay Aeschlimann has playthrough videos of their parts. Check them out they’re awesome
Just watched Herman Li reacting to them and he was as flabbergasted as the rest of us. Their music is very complicated but very fascinating. This track reminds me of when I lived in Andalucia for a few years and got to see some superb Flamenco guitarists - but warped and twisted in a very good way. Polyphia can do this all live too - well worth watching them live.
I would love to see them live. How was living in Andalucia?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Muy bien! I lived in a little village in Huelva, a very rural province on the border with Portugal. Akane used the Flamenco hand drum, the Cajon, on one song of their acoustic xmas day gig.
Fantastic band, great reaction. Very accurate comments. Thank you!
Thanks Juan. Ty for watching
musicians laugh at stuff like that because otherwise we'd cry
“Show me cooler people in the world than musicians, you can’t!” 😂 so well said.
Thanks so much for the reaction, so many channels are reacting to take advantage of the hype and their videos have very little substance. Appreciate your candid and thoughtful comments, what a breath of fresh air!
Some supposed “musicians” say “it’s too busy “ it has no emotion” it’s just soloing for an entire song”
These people don’t actually realize there are no vocals in the band!
Their music is based on musicians writing and mixing all genres of music into all bass parts,vocal structures,guitar harmony’s and hip hop rap and R&B vocals ,all done at once on a guitar by one person ,or in this case individually buy each of the two guitar players.
Polyphia simply mixes all genres of music ,their rap parts and their vocal harmonies ,then all written and composed then played on single guitar,wether live or in studio!
It’s one man doing what a 5 piece band can barely do and it’s impressive to say least.
This is next level complicated music with more emotion and structure than some give them credit for!
Bottom line is It’s art,writing and musical brilliance at some of it’s absolute finest and most genius!
As a professional studio musician and lead guitarist I can both hear and feel the magnificent of Polyphia. Crisis
SCOTT LEPAGE IS AN INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN AS WELL. Clay and Clay aren't too damn shabby either
Really nice to see someone react who actually understands what they're listening to beyond just "that was cool". I'd recommend checking out Animals as Leaders. If you're not familiar with them, they're also an instrumental band made up of two 8-string guitarists (Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes) and a drummer (Matt Garstka), who are technical masters of their craft.
bumping this comment, if you were into the flamenco styles of this song, paramexer, the brain dance and modern meat all fall into their classical guitar tracks (but they do like every other genre too lmaooo)
Absolutely fantastic recommendation.
Animals are phenomenon. Tosin is a Maestro as well
You should watch Tim Hensens playthrough. You'll be even more blown away!!
My friend is... Flamenco pregressive!
My friend... The Warning please
Tim Henson is a music writing genius, truly
Dude you gotta get yourself a proper pair of headphones.
When I first heard this the reason it kept replaying in my head later., was I could have sworn this was written by Al Di Meola... It is just that good, and your reaction was dead on target
I don't react by laughing, but I could tell exactly what was going on there. I can tell right away there's a lot you're picking up on even though this is a first listen.
I love how polyphia manage to combine simple elements of music with absolutely mind bending technical playing. It's both digestable to non-musicians and absolutely fascinating for musicians at the same time.
That's a perfect description of them
One of the most insightful reactions to this ! Even catching that reverse , good ears man . I’ve been playing guitar for 20+ years and polyphia has been the biggest breath of fresh air since they started popping off like 5 years ago . They really are changing the game , Tim and Scott have finally done something really new and unique with guitar . I think you would like Charlie Robbins aka syncatto , it would be awesome to see you react to his song Never enough or Farewell
How many harmonics did you just hear?
The correct answer is: "yes".
Lmao truth
This song made my guitar identify as a flute.
Underrated
enjoyed your reaction, doesn't happen too often : ) you know what you're talking about. and… i've never watched a polyphia-video and did not have to laugh, as you said, because of being impressed (to put it that way…).
"Don't get offended for someone you don't even know" is one of the realest quotes I've ever heard
Just so you know, Tim is the dude playing in his sleep and he has a unplugged version of him playing it on his channel. He might as well be sleeping in that video too.
I watched it 3 times since recording this. Lol he just sat there like it was no effort in front of his computer 😅 What a God
@@DrumRollTonyReacts you don’t need to react to this unless you really want to but the bassist is so sick. Check out a band named “the omnific” song “antecedent”. The band is two bassist and a drummer and polyphia’s bass player is on that song. 😅
@@DrumRollTonyReacts and yeah, I play bass. Lol
@@damantx1 Woah! Thanks for that info. That could be cool to react to tho
@@DrumRollTonyReacts I don’t know man. That’s a lot of bass 😳🤣
"hold on, how many harmonics did i just hear?" was my reaction to this song he first time around as well lmao
oooo you have stepped into Polyphia waters…. lol finally :) some Texas flavor Loved this and I am so happy you liked it but mostly your REACTION is priceless as always :) you gave to listen to 40oz.
I'm really trying to see them live
@@DrumRollTonyReacts 💯 !!!!!!! LIVE IT IS A MUST …..
BAWHAHAHAHAHA - I love that ... "I'm not gonna go back, Maybe later ..." , and then in (ALMOST) the same breath ... "... OMG !!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT !!!! WE HAVE TO SEE THAT AGAIN ... "
Yeah brother ... I am RIGHT with you there ....
😅😅😅😅😅😅
I totally understand the laughter… when something is so incredible that can’t help but laugh at the absurdity.
gotta get you off hyperX for listening to something critically. Beyerdynamic or Sennheiser will lend SO much more to Polyphia.
Show me cooler musicians in the world: "Marcin Patrzałek - Baba yaga"
I can relate i usually laugh when it's absurdly impressive...
I definitely believe the laughing is a musician thing. Past bandmates and I would do the same when we hear something nutty!😂
The second half of the video is so Bossa Nova. Even their attitude in the music video 😂
New sub here, great reaction brother, your channel is awesome
Welcome James! Nice to meet ya
I just recently listened to them, NGL I just can't stop listening and focusing on the drums, with everything else going on that's so technical, there's just so much space in between when the drummer start playing.
There are many drums playthrought to enjoy :)
the back half sounds like elevator music
The bassist’s mustache and just general overall vibe I’m digging lol
React to dragonforce fury of the storm live.
I love to see Reactions of People that really know their stuff like you do. Gives me goosbumps seeing you being speechless at some Parts of the Video
Tony nails it. Yes the guitarists are world class, but it's almost backgrround/percussive somehow. Drums are phenomenal, and the mix gives the bass so much power and fatness which contrasts perfect with the nylon/acoustic guitar parts. You never hear something like this! Best part is he recognizes the whistle melody part as being really catchy, but can't say why at first glance. Polyphia is writing 6 min prog metal songs as 3.5m pop songs. Truly remarkable
great reaction.
go cardinals lol
god i just love the opening part from tim on this song, just such a ear scratching little part
Everyone recommends "GOAT" for them. I say check out "Yas" :)
whould be realy cool to see ego death to
enjoy the sounds Nd shut up 🚨
Not prog rock by any stretch. Definitely prog. About as prog as you can get, but they honestly can't be classified under any traditional genre as they pretty much incorporate nearly all of them.
Agreed. This was my first song seeing them before taking q journey
Idgaf about reaction videos... but i guess im a liar and i do care because watching people like this bugging out just makes me happy
Haa well I'm glad you liked it
It’s Al DiMeola meets Wes Montgomery in 2022 production.
please react to “Marcin & Ichika Nito - Acoustic vs Electric” THAT SHIT’S CRAZYYYYY TOO!
You have to check their song G.O.A.T. :)
I have rough days but man just listening to your reactions on songs brings me peace. Thank you for uploading and being so chill
Shit that's a nice compliment. Thanks for being here
My fave track from Polyphia! They’re incredible 🔥🖤
Good morning, I have seen several reaction videos of this song. I have to say that I am a profane, ignorant in everything that concerns music; I simply listen to it, I like it, I don't like it, it excites me or leaves me indifferent, then there are other works... that simply stick into your chest... and tear it apart, do they have a special vibration? I ignore it; watching your video, seeing your face... without a doubt you are the one that best represents how listening to this Polyphia song leaves me... to me it simply seems like a sound foreign to this world. Thanks for your video, greetings from Spain.
I think it's called hybrid picking in Arpeggios scale using jazz chords with the rudiments of triplets, quadruplets paradiddle
2:05 that ping pong pan bro... I dont know who produce and mix this but BRO
OMG DIMEOLA!!! Yessss. Nylon strings baby….I’ve so been waiting on the world to get a taste of nylon…the painting is a “Play” On The Creation of Adam…
I wonder if these guys spent a lot of time watching videos of guitarists on Candyrat Records.
I love seeing people's minds' get blown watching Polyphia
DW about the laughter..I do the same and people say the same thing lol. As a musician and appreciative of all genres this was just...yeah.
These songs are giving me depression (after i hear it) man,
There's just too much dopamine and then i crash after!
The laughing is especially present for students in college for music. Sometimes we do that because we are witnessing what we see as a god in our field.😅
If you like Reggaeton, check out Nanowar of Steel ;)
If you like this chon, plini, animals as leaders, intervals, sithu aye I can list more enjoy your instrumental dive dude. Subbed
I remember another music theory teacher explaining that polyphia sticks crazy arpeggios over really powerful and catchy chord progressions and that was a really good analysis imo
The painting at the end was the creation of adam iirc. It's used as a visual representation of the piece title.
Sometimes ya just gotta laugh, because what other reactions are there? Music is fun lol
Even Herman Li (lead guitarist of dragonforce… correct me if I’m wrong though, which is a normal occurrence) was speechless when he watched this. Absolutely baffled, as we all should be, because this was absolutely stunning work by all of them. And he had nothing but stellar things to say about everything too.
Well, guess it's time to once again indulge in my addiction to jumping down musical rabbit holes...
Thanks for introducing me to another amazing artist, Tony!
I love hearing 1 of my favorite youtubers and streamers get blown away by my favorite group
I watched a channel called Daily Doug who is a classical music composer. He reacted to Playing God after buying the sheet music so he could properly follow along.
One of the best music reaction channels for sure!
You should give Periphery a go, maybe Reptile, or Rainbow Gravity if you want something shorter.
it may not be bossa nova after the transition, but it's definitely channeling it's spirit!
So glad you mentioned the harmonics dude. If you've never played a guitar
They're not easy to transition between that fast
If only this was the new Lord of the Rings....
Thanks for the reaction, that was very funny :D You must react to the drum playthrough of Playing God, and at least the OD (Meinl) playthrough by their drummer Clay Aeschliman, you will be blown away!
This is what it looks like when a knowledgeable music person hears the best band in the world for the first time.
The pillow Tim is laying on in that one shot looks so comfortable wtf
Lol their studio is actually like that, they are just that good
SUPERIOR SHYT…PERIOD ‼️
💯
man the change in your face the moment you hit play is soooo hilarious
Do their songs OD and 40oz next!
Robotic language at the end part
Great audio bro 👍 stuff sounds good
Please do 40oz by Polyphia
Yo i got the same mic
Tim is insane
4:12 "sonorous?"
I love u ♥
F
Return to forever vibes
As in Chick Corea?
@@DrumRollTonyReacts exactly
I think what I love about this song they jump playing styles which is always fun to hear
lame
