GEM feat Matt Garstka Vertigo Reaction & Breakdown Composers Point of View
Eldar Djangirov is the pianist. A child prodigy... his work is all stunning. Enjoy!
Jazz-rock fusion has usually left me feeling cold and uninspired, but the newer wave of jazz-metal fusion feels fresh and exciting.
Im a huge fan of Matt Garstka, never heard this masterpiece!
Been in a big Tigran headspace lately and this scratches the itch. Glad to have gotten to experience this song with you for the first time
Tigran is more musical and less fatiguing
@@Visionoir oh yeah I get that for sure. Tigran is definitely a lot more tasteful but I still get the same kind of vibe
@@Visionoir there’s another tune by these guys that I like a lot more, but yeah I understand the opinion there
Tigran is a GOD at writing quality melody mixed with ridiculous time signature and polyrhythm
Maybe it's me but this type of music seems like it's for people who are REALLY into music not people who just listen to music.
Like ultra fine dining vs a home cooked meal.
music for musicians
Very true. Usually only musicians can get into super proggy, intricate type stuff. I dated a girl who was pretty open to music but the only prog or metal I could really get her into was Chon and Nemertines
@@JustTheTip556 I think it's more of a section of musicians. The ones who like experimental and/or technical stuff.
Along with the non-musicians who are just really into it, similar to people who love sports but would never play.
I play a tiny bit but don't count or know theory. I love to let this stuff wash over me, it's a great ego cleanser 👍🏻 I've always said I don't want to know how the magician does the tricks, I need entertainment as well as thinking 🤟🏻✌🏻
exactly!
One thing I love about Henrik Linder is that I've noticed that he is playing with a different drummer this time and while it's a tad more subdued, you still get that odd feeling that he's just a technique monster: At times he barely looks like he's moving around and you can easily miss his attack altogether because of how locked in with the drums (For non-players the attack is basically the sound the string makes when you first pluck it: you hear first a slight percussive element along with the sound of the note, well not on this case but with most bass players you usually do)
This might not be the most exiting thing in the world for non-musicians but if you ever had a band you know just how many times tiny differences in player and tempo can make you instantly aware someone is off but Linder is as accurate as a dance music editor just dropping in both bass and drums on a computer grid that get tied up 100% of the time, except he's an actual human being that has perfected his playing this much.
Well, now you HAVE to do Animals as Leaders
He did one before
@@paulurban5603 can't find it!
Tooth & Claw
@@DangerousGuitarist thanks!
This is better than 99 AAL tho
In an interview with another bass player, Henrik mentioned that he had a few nightmares before recording this (one track of a few more in this collection, I believe). And yet he looks so in control… all three so ‘in the zone’…
This piece gives me vertigo 😵💫
I’ve also heard Eldar playing classical piano repertoire absolutely masterfully, -worth listening to.
Thanks for this reaction, and the many meaningful observations 🙏
I know you've listened to Animals as Leaders before. Matt Garstka is the drummer of that band (if you weren't aware). You should really check out The Brain Dance or Inner Assassins by them!
3:38. 😂 I know the feeling lol
The Patient should be next for Tool , that’s probably my fav tool song at the moment 🤷🏻♂️
Never thought you would get to this, so good.
That look at 1:39 tho! 😂
This is literally Liquid Tension Experiment without John Petrucci. Ive always been a fan of this style of jazz.
Im with you. Im a big fans of this GEM band
I don't know if it was my suggestion (although I do think I've suggested GEM to you) but I'm glad it melted your brain like it did mine. That pianist is bonkers. And every time I see Henrik do that run up the fretboard, I just laugh cause he makes it look effortless. Glad you got around to checking them out and glad you enjoyed it!
I too grew up listening to the AMAZING music of the '60s and '70s, and this kind of music DIDN'T YET EXIST. It totally FRIES me to hear people of my generation lamenting that "they don't make good music any more." They're obviously listening to Pop, which has ALWAYS kinda sucked, but this stuff is LEAGUES beyond what the virtuosos of my day could ever have imagined!
Streak 3 of asking Geebz to react to Frost*
damn, how have i never heard of GEM? Those arrangements are awesome as heck
What a track! o_O;
I am so happy I clicked this video! Thank you! :D
And thank you who suggested this!! :)
Immediately liked and favourited the original.. EPIC!
Since you've done this you should know that matt garstka plays drums for animals as leaders. You should listen to Mind Spun or The Glass Bridge by Animals as Leaders! Also please check out everything all at once by sea in the sky!
Yes sir!! I appreciate this feedback and reaction very much. Normal ears dont hear things that yours do sir.
Now that you're in the jazz fusion zone, you should check out Arch Echo. I'd suggest Color Wheel by them. Link:
ruclips.net/video/F65IQmP7lCk/видео.html
13:20 i feel you 😂, its so overwhelming everything thats going on in just 3 instruments
Amazing! Thanks for the introduction. It took me a while to realize all that amazement came from a 3 piece. More of this please!
If you want something similar, but simpler, go go penguin is a great 3 piece jazz band that this reminds me of. Probably not reaction video worthy
Awesome!!! Really cool to know that there’s a layer of reaction that you’re in + the exposure of this stuff to people that aren’t familiar with this space of incredible talent. Good on you for working to count out some of those passages first go around too, haha
I’m with you - I’m halfway between your generation and the one coming up with this as their input, so it’s wild to see what guys who grew up listening to the stuff I grew up with have been able to accomplish (Animals as Leaders, Periphery, etc). I don’t want to say I’m envious, but can relate that it’s so cool to see how it’s evolving and making music that challenges what we’ve already heard.
I LOVE YOU!
PLS DO ARCHSPIRE - INVOLUNTARY DOPPELGÄNGER
Watching you get your mind blown is the best part of your videos. Keep it up. Coffee incoming ;)
This is really friggin good
My first listen here. Glad I subscribed and caught this.
Matt Garstka is crazy, one of the best...you should check out Cognitive Contortions by Animals as Leaders....
Try Get Yo Freak On at the Meinl 2015 IIRC that performance bangs hard
@@russellzauner whats that?
VITALISM Pagan Pt.2 it’s a sweet Brazilian instrumental band. They’re sweet and so are your videos. Keep it up! Aloha
ed from vitalism posts clips all the time on instagram - love my instagram clip kids
Vitalism is so good
Excellent choice, all tracks from GEM are absolutely fantastic ; you should try the collaboration between Matt Garstka and Joshua de la Victoria
That first look you gave was priceless!
Hey Geebz, ALOHA. Love drum cam videos I'm sure that Meshuggah Clockworks drum cam video isn't too far behind. 🤘
I actually squeaked at the true temperament bass, so ashamed...
"I got nothing..." My words came out of your mouth. 🤣🤣 Holy crapballs,, gonna check these out now 👍🏻
This is a absolute mindf##k!
Henrik is like a sniper, love that line.
Would love these :)
Slice The Cake - Stone And Silver Part 1 - The Mountains of Man
Textures - Awake
Alice in Chains - Man in the Box
Slipknot - Vermilion
I second Awake by Textures.
Good morning from Australia! Check out one of our home grown bands Karnivool, Goliath great tune!!
We have already introduced him to the Aussie scene a bit. He did Goliath ruclips.net/video/mXY8H6eU9NU/видео.html and All I know ruclips.net/video/dG5upT5RL_4/видео.html
He also hit some Twelve Foot Ninja!
MOAR MATT GARSTKA!! some of his AAL craziness like arithmophobia or ectogenesis
Hahhaaaa - actually - next up!
How can anyone not like the virtuosity and beautiful emotional colors on display in this incredible piece. ;0)
This one out you through the ringer! Loved your reaction and breakdown. Thanks!
Take a look at the wear pattern on Matt's snare. I have never seen another drummer with that kind of precision.
good catch, did not pay attention to it. That's impressive indeed :)
his hand can just magically go back to the same position +- 2cm after some sick tom fills
This is just so fucken great! And a prime example of pure virtuosity at it's finest.
As always, great reaction, I'm a big fan of your work!
You should react to Odysseia by Casimir Liberski, Matt Garstka is also on drums, it's a fascinating piece of music! Not quite as intense as GEM, but still incredibly beautiful and complex!
Hey, you almost forgot to add that Adam Neely link in the description. Also, check out Mastodon - Hearts Alive ruclips.net/video/DAdxjTm7sfQ/видео.html
Ah, thank you for that - just added it! Mastadon coming soon :)
@@KeyOfGeebz I'm looking forward to it!
you are the best man!! Much love and mahalo to you sir!
Please react to Rose from A perfect circle :))
I second this comment- especially at the very end, the note that Maynard sings- it blends (I think?) into a violin note. It's been bugging me for 20 years, would LOVE to hear your thoughts on this song and that part in particular!
What would I call this? Prog jazz? Great talent
Tigran Hamasyan rip-off on steroids?
I would just call it jazz fusion, just a very proggy and abrasive jazz fusion.
I highly recommend the band Nothing More. All of their music is absolutely incredibly produced, well written, and definitely interesting to listen to. Few song recommendations are Fade in/Fade out, This is the time (Ballast) < my personal fave, Jenny, I'll be okay, and so many more... They incorporate many electronic elements into metal and created something super cool :)
Obscura by gorguts is a must
Ive listened to this song god knows how many times and i still cant catch all the modulations god bless...
If anybody hasn't suggested it yet (since I'm stopping by like three months after you uploaded this video) I would be really interested to see your reaction to the track Torque by this same band. I think it's my favorite song from them. Keep it up, sir!✌🏻
Extremophile Elite by Between The Buried & Me
As far as I'm concerned, this *is* prog - just prog (Jazz) more than prog (Rock)! The influences of the free jazz and fusion greats is evident - Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul - I hear bits of them all in there ... but with the punchier, stronger bass & drums of a more modern prog / math rock thrown in as influences, also :-)
Not to be critical, I do like this, I also like Casimir Liberski, and I'm a huge Gartska/AAL fan, but to me, this really avant-garde and super technically difficult-to-play kind of music makes me think of young virtuosic guys that have been playing and studying music since a young age who've recently graduated from music school. Now they're on "the scene" and violently projectile vomiting out everything they know and have ever learned about music and they're composing with an intentional emphasis on the most technically difficult and complex things in music hoping it will help them stand out and be noticed. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's analogous to a soldier fresh out of boot-camp who's craving combat because he wants to test his new skills. lol
Please listen and react to Isis - Threshold of Transformation please!!
If I don't say a mistake, it's the bass player from DIRTY LOOPS ! Totally crazy extrem jazz !
Gran tourismo music
Why haven't I heard this yet !
epic stuff
Lotta liquid tension experiment vibes, but more complex
Please react to Dirty Loops - Work Shit Out (or any other Dirty Loops song if you already have). It's an amazing funk/pop/fusion trio with the same bassist. Very skilled musicians and catchy yet complex music.
He has already 👍
Drummer is from Animals vs leaders.. Unreal drummer 🥁
Getting some super ELP vibes out of this. Love Gartska's work in Animals.
This song is like a musician's Turing Test. If you vibe to it, you're in, if not, you're out.
I can hear the theme in my head and iterate on it way after I've heard it, the time feel/tempo just doesn't matter when you feel it in your bones
Reminds me a lot of a modern version of Weidorje
Matt garstka, Danny carey, Jon Theodore, some of the craziest drummers ever. I was in drum corp (brass player) and always envied the drummers talent
Arch Echo!!!
Thx for the vid! Adam Nealy -> Adam Neely (in the description)..
Potions from puscifer.
Elder is sooo badass - dead roots stirring.
I am still here.
The everso closely guarded line by cardiacs. The best song I've ever heard, also by the best band I've ever heard. I've been listening to them since I was 5. Please check it out. It's all I want.
Nice feedback, thanks. Yeah, I've been listening to Eldar (Djangirov) for the past few years and he's really come along, as has Henrik (Linder) through his musings with Dirty Loops in Sweden, and well, Matt Garstka is just an amazing Human Rhythm Machine -- hope I don't get bashed for saying this, but is Matt "under-used" with Animals As Leaders? I got the impression that this Master Trio would be releasing a recording soon, and I hope that is still the ultimate goal. Underneath his Classical "chops" I believe Eldar is a true Hard Bopper whom Bud Powell would have so loved: Eldar's tune "Polaris" from his Re-imagination CD proves this.
if you enjoyed this you should totally check out "dancing machines" by the nova collective. its equally well composed but more proggy, i guess youll like it :)
ruclips.net/video/HwPe5jVYKe4/видео.html
theyre featuring musicians of haken, btbam and cynic if im correct
I highly recommend as well!
How about something a little more electronic?
Windowlicker by Aphex Twin please!
yassssssss
Greetings from Malaysia
Im a hug fans of GEM and it is a must play on their 3 x tracks wheneve im going to my office.
Great song arrangement, great musicianship skills. This reminds me of Progressive stuffs such as Tigran Hamasyan and a lil bit of Djent such as Animals As Leaders, yeah of course that drummer is from AAL. I like the chords that the guys playing, it brings out the dark progressive energy and to play it, y'all need to focus and have that progressove + djent kind of feel in it. LOL, it is just a sincere opinion from me. Keep up the PROGRESSIVE thingy guys. Im a BIG FANS of GEM. Im looking forward, waiting for them to come up with new songs. Cheers
The 7empest swells.
Rivers Dancing :)
Dude! Your videos are great! lovin the TOOL recognation! You should do 7EMPEST from them. EPICCCCCC!!!!
It´s unrelated to this video, but you should listen to 65daysofstatic. You won´t regret it.
no doubt Garstka is a fucking ripper, but that piano player is ridiculously amazing. Holy shit is al I can say!!
If you like this, you should definitely try Trioscapes - Blast Off
spawn of possession - apparition
Two of the things I noticed: The Bass at points has an octaver pedal, not a dub in my opinion. You can have ones that can add in multiple octaves, even at a slight delay and that sounds exactly like some of the high end notes you can hear that are doubled over the bass.
The other was that I love that the piano player was isolated to clean up the tone, where as the bass and drums are pocketed together. As we know bass and drums are so closely intertwined and they really seem to feed of each others energy.
its over 9000!
It’d be cool to see what you’d have to say about Within the Ruins’ song “Domination”. Always interested in hearing your observations. Blessings, my dude. 🤙🏻 Also: still here! And I won’t stop commenting this until you finally do it! 😁
You should give Believe (on the album by the same name) by Disturbed a try. The range of music they cram into that song, combined with how well mixed it is, would be perfect for this.
Hey Geebz, I think you should check out some SKYHARBOR! The Vocalist from their 'Guiding Lights' album is the same vocalist from the song by Earthside that you did recently, "A Dream in Static". I really like their song "Guiding Lights" but their most popular song is "Evolution". Really enjoy your content!
SNIPER!!!!
Hey Mr. Geebz. Was wondering if you could do a breakdown from something more hip-hop oriented. I'm always curious about the production that goes into that genre, and how that genre intersects or differs from other genres, production wise. Maybe something from Outkast like Roses or Hey Ya. Would be interesting to see you shine a light on some aspects of their production.
this is today's version of Emerson Lake & Palmer
I'd love to see your reaction to a French band: Lizzard - "Blowdown" and I love how you're starting the scratch the surface of Australian music too! Awesome work mate and thankyou :)
These gem tracks get me amped up like 3 cups of coffee worth, a great way to wake up in the morning. :D ... if you're looking for something else interesting possibly I was thinking about Dave Davidson. He's been putting out albums with his band Revocation for a while now. I think they're in the Boston scene. Death metal or thrash make up the core of most of their songs but Dave always busts out these flowing and melodic solos, I love that guy :D
Holy shit, this sounds like a collab between Cory Henry and Tigran Hamasyan!!!!!! :o
It is also very funny how a genre of Metal inspired by Jazz, eventually ended up inspiring Jazz musicians. I love it!!!!!
If you start doing (drum) playthroughs... :o then check Baard Kolstad (Leprous) - The Sky Is Red
Otherwise I would recommend you to check: Dir En Grey - Vinushka, some day when you can fit them in your busy schedule :)
Well that was a bit good.... Try Opeth, A Fair Judgement 😜
Check out the bassists band Dirty Loops
Matt gartska has the driest cymbals ever. It's an amazing sound
Byzantine!! Long live the Byz!! Hoping to see you break them down one day Geebz! Justinian Code and Verses Of Violence to get the full on assault.
Thank you
I'm surprised no one has suggested Sleep Terror... it's basically surf music meets instrumental death metal! Featuring the fastest drummer on the planet, (Lord) Marco Pitruzzella. You're gonna want to listen to a few tracks... it just might be your new favorite thing lol
Keys player's left hand was possessed by Tigran Hamasyan
Gem has great sound! Rip AAL, maybe check out save us from the archon (sufta)?
Please! Do Pantera - Floods.
Please!!!
Please react to Sergey Golovin's Bouncing Ball
