Tim Henson, the guitarist that wrote the majority of this song and did the intro guitar riff talks about this a lot in his videos. It started with him learning music by copying a Jayden Smith song and then taking the piano parts and adding his own melody over it then just "flexing" his chops to that riff with a trap beat which was adopted to live music
I love the disconnect between regular people and people who are involved with making music when they react to polyphia. Regular people are like "umm that was cool?" and music people are drooling. Another band that gets the musicians to react a lil spicy is doll$boxx. Very different, but extremely talented none the less
@@di-sy I could understand musicians not vibing with the complex math rock elements, as it's definitely not for everyone, but to not be amazed by and appreciate the composition and musicianship as a whole is absurd.
We just know how hard it is to play something like this. Or at least we have an idea. People like Tim and Yvette that can play a guitar like a piano are the nth degree of the nth degree, but to people that haven't at least tried to play... It just sounds like weird keyboards to them. As Bob points out, their rhythm section is just world class, too. Thank god for people like them that make music for us to geek on. PS... Does anyone else want to give their drummer $500 to go buck wild on Buddy Rich for 15 minutes? I want to hear him swing. I bet it would be worth 2x the money.
Thanks for your reaction to this. I am 38 and haven't played in a traditional band since grade school. But when I heard this song, my music ear tuned in and I had to listen to this song on repeat for about 20 minutes because of all the complexity. I shared this song with friends and no one could appreciate the complexity in the song and how much skill is needed to have this kind of timing. I have seen some videos of them playing live and they hold this mastery even on the stage.
the best grooves feel like the drums and bass are two people cooperatively playing one instrument. check out Sokoninaru, Dirty Loops, and Covet. some of the best musicians i've ever heard.
I second Covet. Saw them opening for Polyphia ....... don't want to say that Covet blew Polyphia away, but I will say that the jaws of all the guitar players in the crowd were on the floor when Yvette played.

Please do Polyphia - Playing God That should definitely be on the list for you. I honestly think it might be better than GOAT. Time will tell, but I currently love it.
Craziest thing is Tim Henson, the lead guitarist with the short hair was only like 23-24 when this dropped, he arranges alot of the music and he prides himself on creating these catchy, complex, almost trap-music-esque riffs.
Hey many really appreciate you’re perspective. Great reaction! By the way you can use the space bar to pause/resume and the left and right arrow keys to flash back like 5 seconds or something like that!! Great video
Thanks for the kind words Ryan! Yeah sometimes I forget about the space bar and arrow keys. I’ll have to remember for thr next one. Thanks for watching!
And no one steps on anyone else's sound. With everything that is going on, all the complex and insane playing and they are so in time with each other that no one steps on or plays over anyone else, they play along instead. That takes some serious talent. You should watch Rick Beato's interview with Tim Henson. I was about ready to just toss my guitars in the fire pit out back after he told Rick that it took him quite a while to get his solo's for GOAT down, maybe an hour or two! Seriously? It took me an hour or two to be able to listen to the entire guitar part. But then Tim never stops playing his guitar in every interview I have seen him on.
I totally understand Jeremy. I did watch that video and when I heard that I was hoping he would say a week at least. Some people just get things easier. I’m not one of them. Hang in there and keep moving forward that’s what it’s about.
Yeah and it’s incredible how together they are. It’s really hard to hear it unless you know to listen for it. Thanks for watching! I’m gonna do another one of these soon.
7:10 maaaannn this takes me back, when I was in HS we had this place called the MRC (Music Resource Center) which was basically a full-on studio just for kids. They converted the basement of an old church and used the main floor for shows, I've literally been a part of this scene just jammin in a church with friends xD
I love seeing a band teacher react to this compared to just a guitar or drum teacher. It's really great how you can add something about the song as a complete, and how certain players are playing together in certain rythms. Great video!
Hate to be that guy but I'd recommend a blind reaction to Tool if you haven't heard them before. Forty-Six & Two or Schism are my recommendations for the first couple of songs you should listen to by them
What an awesome group. Yep I know their songs really well. Some of my favorites back in the day. Thanks for recommending them you have great taste in music!
I would say that Tim Henson (the lead guitarist) is the most "talented" (I prefer skillful) of them, also partly because he is the main one writing the songs and has a very creative mind (as well as of course being an exceptional guitarist).
@@bobcieslinski I'm curious if you've seen sour looks from, for lack of a better term, the old guard of band directors when they see music like this. I've come across more than I'd like who immediately say they don't like it for a myriad of reasons like "it's too complicated", "It's too fast", "I just don't like rock", and even the eye-rolling excuse of "this sounds satanic" 😂 You should react to the guitarist Plini! He's an Australian guitarist who is an absolute virtuoso. I recommend starting with his song Pan from the album Impulse Voices. And make sure you check out the album version. It features an instrument solo that a person wouldn't immediately expect in a progressive rock song. When I first listened to the song it actually made my eyes sweat a little.
You may already know this, but you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to go back, and space bar to start/stop. So you don't have to use your mouse as much
@@bobcieslinski I played alto sax in high school gr 9 band so 10-11 years ago now figured I should play again. Also have a old guitar book and old guitar that belongs to my girlfriends dad that's been at our apartment for years. So learning these two
Nice! I play alto sax too. Guitar pretty cool too. I’m more of a Bass player than a guitar player but stringed instruments are a great way to break up the practice routine with thr sax. I’ve considered making a few sax and bass videos. What do you think?
@@bobcieslinski I think you will be very interested in Elephant Gym. There's a video where they're doing a live performance at Audiotree. They're a mathrock band!
The polyrhythms and syncopation here is just off the charts. I don't even see how you conceive of such a song, even though I've see Tim's "how it's made" vids of G.O.A.T. Guy is certainly a creative genius on a par with any of the great modern composers. Edit: I also have to comment about the ghost notes they are employing here.
There are some artists that make music for regular people, there are some artists that make music for musicians, and then there are artists that make music that you can enjoy as a regular person, but that also excites musicians, and I feel like Polyphia is one of those bands.
Hey Yeo Yi. It’s annoying for me because it is a legit copy of windows 10 I bought when I built thr computer. For some reason tech and myself have no clue why the message is showing. I finally gave up trying to fox it.
You really need headphones to appreciate this song. The technique and unusual use of chord changes & perfect drum work is AMAZING. These guys are all technical Geniuses.
There are two kinds of GOAT reactions. 1. Wow, that's so cool! 2. Woah, listen to how synced the drums and bass are! 3. Bonus for noticing not just the synced hits but also the synced duration of the hits!
I looked it up and they say they are an instrumental progressive rock band but I’m not sure that really sums their style up. It is unique. Thanks for watching! More content is on the way.
@@bobcieslinski it doesn't sum their style up at all imo, doesn't even mention their hip hop influence I call it experimental personally, that really tells you nothing about them, but over their history they have hit so many genres, they experiment with whatever they feel at the time and find a way to make it work
This recommendation is for something much heavier than this but still wonderfully complex. There's a live version of the band Ne Obliviscaris performing their song And Plague Flowers the Kaleidescope. It was the last song of an hour long set, and they perform it flawlessly. You might call the genre symphonic metalcore, and this band is studied for their compositional abilities in the Sydney Conservatorium.
Because of this comment i checked out Ne Obliviscaris and all i can say is i will never forget this day brother. Thank you sincerely. It's days like this that make life worth living 🤘🏻
It was based off a hip hop/rap melody. And having kids half my age beating the crud out of me on guitar sucks and is awesome that I know some kids are doing more than watching youtube all day. I have been teaching my daughter singing, ukulele and guitar. Still got some non internet zombies out here.
What’s up with the audio quality in the video, it’s significantly degraded, are you actually recording from a mic pointed at speakers playing the music video? Please don’t do that haha
all i hear is dubstep like if he picked up a guitar and just said welp I can't play guitar so ill do this instead.(BTW I don't hate polyphia I just don't like their music it sounds like they wanted to write dubstep but they didn't know how to program it so they picked up their instruments instead)
Awesome skills put towards a beautiful song! The music box is a wee bit microtonal for my taste, but I appreciate the disorienting off-kilter vibe it adds.
You are right Levi and things have changed a lot since this video. It was my s first reaction video. Check out some newer videos and you’ll hear and see. I just did Playjng God.
Hi Mr. C remember me from last year I was in percussion and i'm Colvin Adkins (I don't know if you remember me but I didn't know you had so much subscribers.) Just wanted to say hi.
Hey Colvin! Of course I remember you. I hope the junior high band is doing great this year. I’ll see you next week at the concert. Thanks for the comments.
It’s so annoying when I built this computer. I bought the program from Microsoft with the correct key code. For some reason it wouldn’t take that off. It’s annoying for sure. I’m wondering if because it was built and thr. I installed thr software that it did that. I’m more of a hardware guy than software.
Unfortunately I did with an actual copy of windows 10. I don’t know why the message is there. The only thing I can think of is I build the computer and installed the software. Something is not playing nice inside the computer and I think it is causing this issue. It’s so annoying and I called tech and they tried to solve it but they could not so now I’m stuck with it. Lucky me.
Good question but if you watched the video right before that comment I mentioned how I thought the effect was cool that they had the soloist moving to the new soloist and of course they showed thr bass player after Henson walked by him. I assumed it was going to be a bass solo next then. I hope that makes sense.
LOL I made an entire marching band arranged to this song for a class I was taking. Just sitting thought and dissecting this song was something else, and I got an A lol Did this song and Euphoria, they work really well back-to-back.
An1Guitarman that would be so cool as a March g band arrangement. I would love that. Marching band is an awesome activity and I could see this working. So cool dude thanks for sharing!
immediately right off the bat, I love your attitude and approach to reacting to it if you were my band/music teacher i would probably of been more happy in music class (not to say that I wasnt happy) anyways, nice video!
watching people find out about tim henson reminds me alot of the first time i ever heard jimi hendrix's production on castles made of sand, you know... when the guitar starts playing reverse and speaking in tongues? yeah... very much so hendrix vibes from the dude.
I teach students who are in school how to play instruments that you would find in a concert band. Things like Flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, French horn, saxophone, euphonium, tuba and drums. My main instruments are sax and clarinet plus I play bass guitar.
Sir, I love your in depth look into these songs. Please do us and yourself a favor and do more polyphia reactions. Some to check out: Nasty Bad Saucy Yas Culture shock James Franco Look but don’t touch
Nice spotting that one Glacier! Yes I do. I was just out yesterday doing a techie trail near where I live. I’ve got a Kona Process 134. Couldn’t get the 153 because bikes were hard to come by at the time. Do you ride?
@@bobcieslinski I do as well! I’ve currently got a Commencal Clash. Got lucky last year and was able to get it in only 40 days even with the tough market then. It’s cool to see someone else who loves both music and bikes.
Unfortunately it’s probably more an issue with how I built my computer. When the build was done and I installed the software the key code did not fully unlock the software. I spent too many hours with support on the phone and gave up. So there it sits and there is nothing I can do about it.
Man you picked one of thr best guitar players I’ve seen. He is on another level and I have to guess that attending Berklee was a big part of why he is sooo good. Thanks fir thr recommendation. Other people should see his stuff if they haven’t. I might be able to get a video in. Thanks !
Goat is an amazing riff. I play it with the bass notes an octave lower on my 8 String tuned to Drop E. The riff is hard, but with enough practice everything except for the fast sweep picking part becomes pretty easy.
I agree with this, I played the riffs on bass and guitar and they are catchy and complex but not too impossible, except for that sweep part in the main riff, I am not a great guitarist but I have been playing a good few years and I still can't get it up to speed.
He's in that crowd for sure. Jason Richardson is someone to watch. Charles from Berried alive is probably the most inventive guitarist I've ever seen. just a couple more to check out if you like guitar porn
That "fill" he plays at the end is so fast I actually hear them together. It sounds completely different when slowed. I think if he played different notes any faster than that it probably wouldn't even sound good anymore 🤣
You notice that the toy piano melody at the start is actually the overlying rhythm of the entire track
Yep good call! Thanks for watching!
I believe it's the motif of the song, actually
Which is pretty much what you said with a fancy name XD

I did t notice that Dawn. I’ll go back and look. Sometimes musicians move their mouth when they play. It’s a possibility for a drummer.
Some say his Windows still isn't activated to this day...
It’s so annoying when I built this computer. I bought the program from Microsoft with the correct key code. For some reason it wouldn’t take that off. It’s annoying for sure. I’m wondering if because it was built and thr. I installed thr software that it did that. I’m more of a hardware guy than software.
Well that is cool
Nice vid, you should check out ichika nito he is a amazing guitarist !
You should try listen to CHON, its a similar band to polyphia but the feels is really different to Polyphia. Check it out 👍
I will check them out thanks!
If you haven't already seen it, here is Polyphia playing G.O.A.T live. In-freaking-credible! 🤯
ruclips.net/video/o-cs1AxOBE4/видео.html
They are incredible thanks !
Wait till he finds out about CHON…
Hey Charlie. I just did one of Chons videos not too long ago. Hope you saw it. They also showed up in a Polyphia video I just did too. So good.
Active usted windows 💪🏻
Lol it was a computer issue it was activated. All taken care of now.
Activate Windows my man!
Unfortunately I did with an actual copy of windows 10. I don’t know why the message is there. The only thing I can think of is I build the computer and installed the software. Something is not playing nice inside the computer and I think it is causing this issue. It’s so annoying and I called tech and they tried to solve it but they could not so now I’m stuck with it. Lucky me.
Have you done any reactions to KNOWER?
I haven’t. I’ll put it on the list. Thanks
@@bobcieslinski I highly recommend "Hanging On"
You would lose your mind over andy james.
I’ll have to check him out. Thanks for suggestion him.
What is a band teacher?
I teach kids how to play instruments in a school band. Trumpet clarinet flute etc.
If you like this, check out "Tenohira De Odoru" by Sokoninaru. They're like Polyphia on meth.
I’ll check them out, sounds good. Thanks fir suggesting them.
You reacted to the beginning of the video as though you'd never seen/heard it...
You then introduced the bass solo, before it happened.
Hmmm...
Good question but if you watched the video right before that comment I mentioned how I thought the effect was cool that they had the soloist moving to the new soloist and of course they showed thr bass player after Henson walked by him. I assumed it was going to be a bass solo next then. I hope that makes sense.
LOL I made an entire marching band arranged to this song for a class I was taking. Just sitting thought and dissecting this song was something else, and I got an A lol
Did this song and Euphoria, they work really well back-to-back.
An1Guitarman that would be so cool as a March g band arrangement. I would love that. Marching band is an awesome activity and I could see this working. So cool dude thanks for sharing!
You gotta check out The Omnific - Antecedent (Ft. Clay Gober of Polyphia)
Thanks for the suggestion! I will have to check it out Georgi. Thanks for watching!
hi mr cielinski it’s chloe in band
Hi Chloe! How are you doing today?
immediately right off the bat, I love your attitude and approach to reacting to it
if you were my band/music teacher i would probably of been more happy in music class (not to say that I wasnt happy)
anyways, nice video!
Hey thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it and of course I would have loved being your teacher.
Check out The Omnific. You wont be disappointed. I guarantee it.
Thanks I will check it out.
Love your enthusiasm
Thanks so much Doug! I love music and finding new artists is pretty awesome.
I like it I like it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Demetrius!
Jesus drummer is best part...off beat, but keeps the beat...hella TOOL vibes.
He is soo sick for sure.
watching people find out about tim henson reminds me alot of the first time i ever heard jimi hendrix's production on castles made of sand, you know... when the guitar starts playing reverse and speaking in tongues? yeah... very much so hendrix vibes from the dude.
I like the comparison. Thanks for watching!
Very fun reaction !!
Thanks Bruno!
I got the metronome out one time and tried matching this song. 106.5 bpm
How do you even land on that tempo🤨
I hear you. It really takes a lot of hard focused practice to get to that level.
what is a band teacher?
I teach students who are in school how to play instruments that you would find in a concert band. Things like Flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, French horn, saxophone, euphonium, tuba and drums. My main instruments are sax and clarinet plus I play bass guitar.
Hey Mr.C keep up the good work I miss you and jazz band .
Miss you too! Thanks Xoey!
Ozric Tentacles. 0-1. You`re welcome.
Thanks for thr suggestion.
Ohhhh you will love Aviations song “Outliers”. Its a masterpiece like this.
Thanks again for this suggestion too!
Sir, I love your in depth look into these songs. Please do us and yourself a favor and do more polyphia reactions. Some to check out:
Nasty
Bad
Saucy
Yas
Culture shock
James Franco
Look but don’t touch
Thanks Cricket Armory for the suggestions! I will put those on my lost. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
The fact that you didn't include O.D in the list is considered domestic terrorism in my book
@@0skie imo Bad and Saucy are two of the worst of the album. They're not bad (no pun intended) but O.D., Death Note and Drown have more to them.
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Check out Ichika Nito sometime. You're welcome
Sounds great and thank you!
Please react to dream theater instrumedly , live at the buddakahn!
I’ve never heard that song but I’ve heard a few others. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
He plays piano and turns it into guitar music, which is completely psychotic.
It’s all rather psychotic but oh so good.
I'd love to see a reaction to Abomasum by Toska. One of my favourite songs.
I’ll put it on the list thanks for watching ?
I see that Deity sticker on your desk lol, you ride bikes?
Nice spotting that one Glacier! Yes I do. I was just out yesterday doing a techie trail near where I live. I’ve got a Kona Process 134. Couldn’t get the 153 because bikes were hard to come by at the time. Do you ride?
@@bobcieslinski I do as well! I’ve currently got a Commencal Clash. Got lucky last year and was able to get it in only 40 days even with the tough market then. It’s cool to see someone else who loves both music and bikes.
@@FoxInAFoz nice that’s a great bike you have. Do you ride flow or tech or both?
Hey man I just checked out a few of your videos. Dude you are really good!
Those aren't fills.
That's the beat!
When you steal Windows
Unfortunately it’s probably more an issue with how I built my computer. When the build was done and I installed the software the key code did not fully unlock the software. I spent too many hours with support on the phone and gave up. So there it sits and there is nothing I can do about it.
@@bobcieslinski I was just joking :)
Apparently they are as good live.
I just missed them this year. It would have been a great concert.
Review ascend,eclipse, horizon by the Doo
Man you picked one of thr best guitar players I’ve seen. He is on another level and I have to guess that attending Berklee was a big part of why he is sooo good. Thanks fir thr recommendation. Other people should see his stuff if they haven’t. I might be able to get a video in. Thanks !
Goat is an amazing riff. I play it with the bass notes an octave lower on my 8 String tuned to Drop E. The riff is hard, but with enough practice everything except for the fast sweep picking part becomes pretty easy.
Wow that’s so cool that you are playing that. These guys are beasts and I’ve seen the tab and it’s nuts. Thanks for watching!
I agree with this, I played the riffs on bass and guitar and they are catchy and complex but not too impossible, except for that sweep part in the main riff, I am not a great guitarist but I have been playing a good few years and I still can't get it up to speed.
Tim Henson is definitely the guitar god of my generation
He's in that crowd for sure. Jason Richardson is someone to watch. Charles from Berried alive is probably the most inventive guitarist I've ever seen. just a couple more to check out if you like guitar porn
For sure that dude can play some incredible licks that are hard to replicate. He’s a beast Kumo!
That "fill" he plays at the end is so fast I actually hear them together. It sounds completely different when slowed. I think if he played different notes any faster than that it probably wouldn't even sound good anymore 🤣
Probably true Blake! Thanks for watching!
People can’t play wrong notes that fast lmao
I can’t believe you haven’t reacted to Disturbs version of Sound of Silence!
Also, this band is awesome!!!
I’ve heard it and love it so no reaction to it then.
