Moral of the story : if you've managed to cover Polyphia and you're confident enough to send em your own cover, you're at the very least an amazing artist and can't be roasted.
The roast was calling a Pipa a lute (its similar, but completely different cultures), not knowing what a shamisen is, and calling a Lyre a "finger harp" Although that's a product of western music never bothering to expand into other cultures. I don't blame polyphia at all, but rather the entirety of the western music scene.
@@Zion-18 I'm not trying to take down anything. I just find it a bit sad that so many people don't get to experience the wonderful music of different cultures and traditions. There are so many fantastic pieces people don't get to hear because no one pushes them to branch out into other genres and territories. Again, I'm not mad at polyphia at all for not knowing what a pipa is. I just think everyone should make more of an effort to venture outside of their musical comfort zone.
I knew the Fingerstyle guy is gonna win and if not, I will buy him one TOD10n. And appearing in this video already made me a winner, you guys are the best
Ways of enjoying Polyphia 1. Teaser 2. Visualizer 3. Official Music Video 4. Individual Playthroughs 5. Band Playthroughs 6. Band A Capella 7. Making of 8. Fan covers 9. Bois roasting fan covers
The “I’m gonna need to cover this cover” is a compliment that was beyond my imagination. To think it could come from an original artist to another version of their piece. Wow
Like most artistic projects done for a career, there's never enough time to create something perfect, you just create something finished. He probably sees all these wonderful covers as unrealized potential and wants them to shine just as badly. Really cool to see.
Indeed. Objectivity is crucial to making good music. Ever see that seen in Amadeus when he an Salieri meet for the first time? Highly recommend checking it out.
@@Insertnamesz truly, not being able to mess with ALL the tone options or even speed changes just meet deadlines probably leaves for something to be desired for the artist
At one point I wanted to be like: “oh that’s an…” but then Danny Wow picks up something else and I’m like: “what the fuck is that?” Right along with Tim. What a versatile musician. Polyphia got people so inspired and creative. Love this.
@@crowKAKAWWW And then total confusion sets in when they see their cousins 🦍🐒 locked up (and waving, begging for 🍌), coming to the realization that someone had lied to them, because they were under the impression that their cousins had moved to the ‘burbs!
I discovered Polyphia less than an hour ago. The music already had me on board, but the humility they showed to their fandom in this video sold me. I'm hooked.
It’s crazy how many talented young musicians there are out there. I watch polyphia play throughs and I’m blown away but there are people who take those crazy intricate songs and put their own flair on top. Mind blowing
Seriously. This really brings home the fact that there's a lot of amazingly talented people out there who will probably never be famous or get the recognition they deserve.
Exactly my thoughts. Are those people really amateurs, practicing in their bedrooms? That violinist? The guy with the mouth organ? The guy who played ten different instruments?
@@supertrexandroidx you would be really surprised about how many small local bands are actually really good, but just can't get the publicity and funding they need to make it big, always show love for local and small bands, they need it the most
@@supertrexandroidx it's because just playing is not talent u can play that too if you practice every single day for few hours but to be able to write those songs and even come up with those phrasing is what actually is amazing that's it's similar to singing u can sing excellent but u will not get much recognition if u don't sing ur own songs and do just covers
Yep. I find myself not enjoying their earlier videos as much anymore because of that. The songs are still amazing and the videos are still super great, but... they're just so much more better and beautiful now! 💙
People underestimate 15:24 with the dude playing the harmonica. That takes some serious talent to remember the entire scale in a harmonica and hit it with such precision!
This was sick af. 10:24 is what I think Tim hears in his head when writing a song. "Danny Yau is AI" is a HILARIOUS statement. LMAO Who knew Polyphia on Harmonica was thing we ALL needed in our lives?
@AhmadVawaidSulthon it really is unfortunate that gatekeepers still exist, but the new way is becoming a trend. Idk if Polyphia started it, but Sleep Token is blowing up in the exact same fashion as Polyphia did right before they released RTYWD, and if you go on the comments section for the new ST songs, it's the same vibe. Wholesome crowd.
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 I’ve told many close to me music is the only reason I’m still here. It’s saved me countless times. They usually laugh but after I play a few songs they kinda get it. Not everyone is into complicated music and that’s fine but for those who tap into this resource it truly makes you feel blessed just to experience it.
Bro these kids are just 100% better than 5 years ago by default or some shit. Idek what’s going on. Hiphop producing too, /some of the creativity is fucking unreal these days lmao.
Indeed; he was not only one of the greatest demonstrations of skill but also one who can and will most make use of that guitar. There was only a single noticeable mistake that I could find in his cover where he added like half a beat at the end of a certain fill; I doubt 99% of people would even notice it but otherwise that cover was literally perfect.
@@Luke-ih1oc IF you consider that he was drumming onhis guitar the whole time and adding a few notes as well, I think you could still consider it flawless.
5:02 Oli Parker is absolutely insane with any kind of soprano brass instrument. Trying to double tongue that fast and cleanly is ludicrously hard. And he pulls the whole thing off like it's nothing.
I watched this “roast” video with low expectations, but I am blown away by how positive and respectful you are of the covers. Thank you for bringing a little light into the world.
I sincerely hope the finger style acoustic guy won this. That shit was insane Edit: holy crap y'all picked the one I hoped for! Hell yeah that dude was wild
everyone's submission was dope in its own way and the average level of skill was honestly unbelievable! that said... PaoloGans just crushed it. i think we all felt it.
Is that a normal Lyre Harp? Where can I get one that sounds like that? It retains its ancient mystic sound even though he's playing it in what looks like a small bedroom. It's a really good evocative sound. Also reminds me of team Ico Games lol. That's what I imagine from the sound, ancient civilizations. Old instrument.
@@gregoriolupercio5535 Danny started using a few traditional Chinese instruments like the Pipa (Chinese Lute), and Erhu (Box Violin). I don't know what the harp is called, but you can find similar looking stuff if you look up "Chinese Lyre" (no clue about the tone here; it honestly just seems like a lyre with steel strings and reverb to me)
I knew that fingerstyle cover was going to win. It blew me away instantly. Anyone who can play complex guitar parts while also doing 2 different rhythms without a single miss is just insane. Everyone did amazing though!
You should look up Mike Dawes's The Impossible (original song he made) and his many covers of great songs of rock genres if you like seeing virtuoso acoustic guitar players.
"It is time to choose just one winner" "It is time to choose just but one winner" "But one winner it is time to choose" "At last the time has come in which the winner is chosen" This was golden
Holy shit I wish more bands did this kind of vid. I’ve never listened to Polyphia, but man, watching them have fun with their fans; the best parts are when they are utterly impressed. I’m making it a point to Spotify their catalogue from start to finish.
all of these are good, some are insane (especially the winner) but the cover that stuck with me the most was the vocal cover that started at around 7:29. Loved that on its own, would love to have it on Spotify. Loved the "eerie" feeling of the entire song. Amazing musicality.
i know this video is pretty old now, but im really hoping theyll watch Ray Chen's violin covers of GOAT and Playing God, because theyre absolutely amazing!
When all of the guys had their stank faces on for all the drops and solos of their own parts we knew we had a winner there. The icing was Tim saying “I gotta cover this cover…” congratulations to Paolo and all the people who shared their music as well. 👍
Great choice on the winner. It was not an easy decision. So much talent out there. Tim said "I need to do a cover of his cover." Too funny. Love y'all. Thanks for being just as fan friendly & humble as you are talented. God bless and stay awesome.
Bass volte at 18:09 has something alot of bass players lack nowadays: Groove. Obviously he plays incredible, and his incredibly skilled aswell, but daaamn his flow is gorgeous!
I (sadly) just discovered Polyphia, and am beyond impressed with their talent. Moreover, I am captivated with the respect they show their fans and the support they gave every one of these musicians in this "contest". Not one negative word was uttered. Polyphia has my total respect✌
I totally expected Polyphia to be dicks to their fans (only cause other bands have done that to their own fans - which is a totally crappy move) but nah dude - these guys were just nice dudes. Props to you all. Stay cool.
@@jeanpitre5789 Yes - I do agree - if it was to a buddy or someone close. But when someone famous rips their fans, when the fan base is the only reason they are famous in the first place - I lose a ton of respect for the celebrity. It shows the ego has taken over. When famous people are appreciative and respectful to their fans - understanding the fans are the ones that allow them to have their standard of living and fame - it's much more.... wholesome?!!?
missed an opportunity to start the video with one previously agreed collab video where they'd go real hard roasting someone but then it would be this video after the pun, tho
This wasn't a roast. This was the most badass trip through covers! Danny Wow! Cy Leo! Isabella! I'm laughing at how good everyone is! Excellent React Video! Tim's right, you do have the most talented fans! Congrats on 1million RUclips subscribers!
The level of the Polyphia fans is absolutely next level… I can tell these guys are absolutely proud of their fan base, and that can’t be bought with money. I would have had a hard time picking between Yau and the actual winner, one for his incredible amount of musical versatility and the second for the purest and cleanest talent
Tim: I'm gonna have to cover his cover 😂 Scottie: Remember That You Will Cry 😂 I love how Clay looks so proud as a mentor to his mentee 😁 Danny coming in with 2 and a half entries!!! Wooohh! Also 11:57 & 20:35 Lastly, congrats to the winner. Paolo Gans, dope rendition! 👌
Using your platform to showcase these other talented individuals is so amazing. Thank you as a listener and on their behalf. Unforgettable example of giving back in a really personal and beautiful way.
When I said in one of my reactions that Polyphia was going to ignite and bring monster talented musicians around the world to step into new possibilities, this video shows that it's happening. The real +20 Fire 🔥 Damage is the way Polyphia sits there and just joys over the performances!! Damn, I'm a real fan...... AWWWRIGHT!!
Tim your brother introduced me to your music. Short story. I am a trainer at Citibank and he was my trainee. He introduced himself to the class and stated you were his brother and to check out his music since he knew I was a musician as well. Your playing abilities, your band, and your fans wowed me. Enjoyed it.
Bro it's so refreshing to see a band that has the skills to be at the level your at and still just be a bunch of chill guys I could totally see chilling with. Thanks for giving us all hope for the industry. Stay epic you guys.
Pretty sure you have to be chill to get along in a band and travel in small quarters and deal with one another night after night. I almost think people skills are more important than musicianship for a successful band to make it. So many great bands have broken up due to bad attitudes and egos.
You should release a community album. Like a collaboration album where you release a backing and then get your fans to cover/solo etc.. Don't know how this would actually work, but would be cool/maybe a first of its kind using unknown artists. Much love as always.
That pianist around 7 mins was SICK. Such a relaxed technique. That violinist and harmonica player was super sick tol. And they guy that played multiple strung instruments If you guys are interested in learning more about the marimba grops, there's 3 main recognized ones. Musser-Stevens is probably the most common. I play Traditional which is more commonly taught in Japan.
I'm getting old , 63 coming up in August. I found out about you all just a few days ago and am now inspired to relearn guitar in a completely different light. Was raised on country like Hank Williams, Buck Owens and went into punk rock such as Ramones, The Clash, The Germs and many more. Drifted into the blues via SRV and Buddy Guy and now here I am. Excited to learn how to play what you all have come up with. Keep being creative and geniuses!
That's awesome man. I keep seeing comments like yours and I think it's great that polyphia's sound can be appreciated by people 30 years older than myself who grew up on a completely different era of music. It speaks volumes to their level of talent.
Danny deserved the win, he played on so many instruments it shows not just his skill one ones like 6 string guitar but also his overall musicianship which isn't matched by any of the other submissions.
Huge congrats to the winner, totally killed it with the percussions added ! I would have loved to see them react to my cover, but I hope that there will be more cover contest like that, it's such a good idea !
Polyphia: "We're gonna roast some covers"
Also Polyphia: "This sounds amazing"
Tim: "I need to cover this cover"
click bite
No higher praise
"sounds better then original" 3-4x
They didn't roast anything lol
'Got us head bobbin' to our own song'
Thank you very much for this opportunity and for creating such great music!
You deserved it! Your cover is amazing! I've watched it weeks ago and you won my subscription at the same moment! Congratulations!
Brilliant cover and performance!

Moral of the story : if you've managed to cover Polyphia and you're confident enough to send em your own cover, you're at the very least an amazing artist and can't be roasted.
yoo im from quebeque too

“It’s cooler than the original” imagine how happy you’d be to hear that from the man that WROTE THE SONG
Agree... Congrats to the dude
And the person who says that is polyphia
That caught my attention too. Such a humble dude.
"... the man who..." 'That' is for non personified entities.🤓☝
True Power and confidence 🦾🤍
They said they’d roast but they are so nice and appreciative of each one.
Even getting roasted by them is an achievement fr
The roast was calling a Pipa a lute (its similar, but completely different cultures), not knowing what a shamisen is, and calling a Lyre a "finger harp"

The marimba girl made ABC into a freaking GameCube. Insane covers all around.
I (sadly) just discovered Polyphia, and am beyond impressed with their talent. Moreover, I am captivated with the respect they show their fans and the support they gave every one of these musicians in this "contest". Not one negative word was uttered.
Polyphia has my total respect✌
Always okay to be a new fan of something :)
Same, sad i missed a lot of the initial hype. It seemed fun.
@@rionsignorelli9993 unless that something is Taylor Swift, or so I've heard
I totally expected Polyphia to be dicks to their fans (only cause other bands have done that to their own fans - which is a totally crappy move) but nah dude - these guys were just nice dudes. Props to you all. Stay cool.
To be fair I expect a roast to be rough
@@jeanpitre5789 Yes - I do agree - if it was to a buddy or someone close. But when someone famous rips their fans, when the fan base is the only reason they are famous in the first place - I lose a ton of respect for the celebrity. It shows the ego has taken over. When famous people are appreciative and respectful to their fans - understanding the fans are the ones that allow them to have their standard of living and fame - it's much more.... wholesome?!!?
Their clickbait worked (on me too)
@@drewp.wiener1205 that's the point of a roast though. It's all in good fun
missed an opportunity to start the video with one previously agreed collab video where they'd go real hard roasting someone but then it would be this video after the pun, tho
This wasn't a roast. This was the most badass trip through covers! Danny Wow! Cy Leo! Isabella!
I'm laughing at how good everyone is! Excellent React Video!
Tim's right, you do have the most talented fans!
Congrats on 1million RUclips subscribers!
I was expecting a roast and they just kept giving compliments!
Danny Yau's ability to play any instrument was UNBELIEVABLE and I sincerely hope he is getting all the chicks and dudes in the world
Isn’t he the one from the last cover reaction video with the SpongeBob bed sheets😂
He played every instruments he knows and yet he didn't win 😂 love his stuff
It’s so cool how instead of playing it exactly how Tim does, the first couple guys put their own twist on it. That’s what a real cover should be
Seeing real people play their music gives me hope that I, as a human being can learn these songs.
Sus 👽
The level of the Polyphia fans is absolutely next level… I can tell these guys are absolutely proud of their fan base, and that can’t be bought with money. I would have had a hard time picking between Yau and the actual winner, one for his incredible amount of musical versatility and the second for the purest and cleanest talent
Roasts? No, praises! You guys are incredibly kind and respectful to your fans. Thumbs up for that!
man i think the first one just made others vanish, BUT this harmonic guy just fk*** nailed every single note jesus, gotta show respect for that man
This was amazing, thank you to all people in the world making music and healing our souls. Cheers!
2:08 Tim : "Oh he's harmoniccing this part?" *Scratching his ear* 'Shit why didn't I think about that before?!' hahaha
the fact that they were inspired by their covers is a true testament to that winner's skill. he really deserved it
Tim: I'm gonna have to cover his cover 😂
Scottie: Remember That You Will Cry 😂
I love how Clay looks so proud as a mentor to his mentee 😁
Danny coming in with 2 and a half entries!!! Wooohh!
Also 11:57 & 20:35
Lastly, congrats to the winner.
Paolo Gans, dope rendition! 👌
A true sign of fantastic song writing is when it can sound good in any genre. Well done guys, and to the people who submitted these too.
Using your platform to showcase these other talented individuals is so amazing. Thank you as a listener and on their behalf. Unforgettable example of giving back in a really personal and beautiful way.
Danny put out the every main riff on every instrument video before the album even dropped in the US. He's incredible.
EEEEEEE omgomg thank u for reacting :'D !!! so happy to b in this video !!
Watching Polyphia enjoying covers of their own songs is just awesome. And so many super skilled musicians!
When I said in one of my reactions that Polyphia was going to ignite and bring monster talented musicians around the world to step into new possibilities, this video shows that it's happening. The real +20 Fire 🔥 Damage is the way Polyphia sits there and just joys over the performances!! Damn, I'm a real fan...... AWWWRIGHT!!
13:50 tim just saying,'' wtf is that'', is the best part of this video
14:06
the transition from the submission on 8:41 to the recorder was savage, you didn't have to my mans Giorgio like that.
😂
Danny Yau pulling out various instruments from around the world and nailing each one cracks me up.
I’m so glad that dude won! All covers were amazing but his finger style with the back beat drum solo and all was epic!
Tim your brother introduced me to your music. Short story. I am a trainer at Citibank and he was my trainee. He introduced himself to the class and stated you were his brother and to check out his music since he knew I was a musician as well. Your playing abilities, your band, and your fans wowed me. Enjoyed it.
Are they from another planet?😅
Is his brother Chris Herria?
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts no, his brother's name is michael
@@cattamalon he was making a joke because a lot of people say that Tim looks like Chris' little brother. They even did a YT video.
Does his brother also have a Florence Henderson hairdo?
Bro it's so refreshing to see a band that has the skills to be at the level your at and still just be a bunch of chill guys I could totally see chilling with. Thanks for giving us all hope for the industry. Stay epic you guys.
Pretty sure you have to be chill to get along in a band and travel in small quarters and deal with one another night after night. I almost think people skills are more important than musicianship for a successful band to make it. So many great bands have broken up due to bad attitudes and egos.
You should release a community album. Like a collaboration album where you release a backing and then get your fans to cover/solo etc.. Don't know how this would actually work, but would be cool/maybe a first of its kind using unknown artists. Much love as always.
Winner TOTALLY deserved it!! I loved his cover !!
Polyphia: Hello everybody.
Me with no friends: Hello polyphia. just with a single tear.
Lmao who needs friends anyway we have polyphia😂
We're all friends here
Do we have a Polyphia discord server?
What does this comment mean 😭
Love how the title says "Polyphia Roasts Fan Covers" and it's just 20 min of the being impressed.
"man im gonna have to cover his cover" what a compliment, and people say guitarists hate each other or feel inferior
I like that once Clay sees his student, he sits up and analyzes like a good teacher would and probably will have some wisdom to give him later.
Timestamp?
That pianist around 7 mins was SICK. Such a relaxed technique. That violinist and harmonica player was super sick tol. And they guy that played multiple strung instruments
If you guys are interested in learning more about the marimba grops, there's 3 main recognized ones. Musser-Stevens is probably the most common. I play Traditional which is more commonly taught in Japan.
i havent played marimba in 9 years now and i still have bumps on my fingers from stevens grip lmao
the one at 7 min is almost certainly faked with an AI piano generator thing
I'm getting old , 63 coming up in August. I found out about you all just a few days ago and am now inspired to relearn guitar in a completely different light. Was raised on country like Hank Williams, Buck Owens and went into punk rock such as Ramones, The Clash, The Germs and many more. Drifted into the blues via SRV and Buddy Guy and now here I am. Excited to learn how to play what you all have come up with. Keep being creative and geniuses!
That's awesome man. I keep seeing comments like yours and I think it's great that polyphia's sound can be appreciated by people 30 years older than myself who grew up on a completely different era of music. It speaks volumes to their level of talent.
"He's got us head-bobbing to our own song" has to be some of the highest praise you can receive from a band
Danny deserved the win, he played on so many instruments it shows not just his skill one ones like 6 string guitar but also his overall musicianship which isn't matched by any of the other submissions.
Huge congrats to the winner, totally killed it with the percussions added !
I would have loved to see them react to my cover, but I hope that there will be more cover contest like that, it's such a good idea !
4 hour reaction video when!?
@@joelmorningstar3645 I wish lmao
@@Nysek Link your vid here bro
@@blecera28 It's on my channel main page :)
Just click my profile picture and it should lead you to it
I swear Tim's "wtf is that?" at 13:51 cracked me up everytime I hear it 😂😂
My new message alert tone
It's a pipa i think
@@summeronio9751 Lute
Same! It gets me every time.
@@Trooman20 it’s a pipa which is a type of lute
It just has something really wholesome to see these tatted up dudes somewhere between hyped up and moved to tears because of "wow, this is beautiful"
Polyphia : Announces fan contest.
Guitar looking at me: In a few years 😂
😭
Ahmed on the piano was my favorite by far. I love how the song sounds on piano and its awesome to see it played by a person instead of programmed.
Thanks :D
So real. Pinaist here for almost 20 years and I can’t even play the main riff cleanly
@@Ahmed-vn6kt great job man
Love how both Clays sit up for their respective instrument covers lmao
17:08 Clay A
18:06 Clay G
Good to see Danny Yau getting some love. He's basicly dedicated his channel to you guys.
