Send me your recommendations for stuff to check out! Also, links to check out Misha's channel and Tigran's channel up in the description!

Love ya, pal! Awesome video and explanation. Now that you are done with this let’s play some ACC!

Charles: ye, I have friends who are really into that stuff. Like Misha Mansoor.

“I don’t know the confines of prog metal” hey man don’t sweat they don’t even know...

I like how Misha seems to be friends with every other musician

To me, the band Animals As Leaders feels synonymous with "jazz metal", I really hope you check them out, along with Dream Theater and Tool.

Love that you picked Satellites - it's definitely my favorite song from PIV. Someday - SOMEDAY - I will hit that high note from the middle section...

Expectation: Laughing at a jazz musician because he doesn't understand metal. Reality: Getting schooled by a jazz musician who understands metal at a deeper level than I knew existed.

Hail stan is an absolute masterpiece. Retile being the holy grail of periphery tracks imo.

I started picking up periphery songs on piano years ago and very quickly realized that it was BUFF JAZZ

I would highly recommend Plini, he’s an Australian guitarist who plays prog rock/ metal. Him and his band actually toured with Periphery before corona. Some songs I would recommend are Flâneur, Cascade, Salt + Charcoal, and Electric Sunrise

The equivalent of “math jazz” would be “math rock” or even some Prog-metal bands. A cool “math rock” band but very jazz based is Chon, they are beasts.

Now that you mention the "disguised" patterns in simple measures, Tesseract is a great example of that (much like the mathematical concept). Juno, Nocturne and April are great songs that use permutations and time displacements masterfully

Never thought I'd hear Charles say MESHUGGAH. I can sleep happily.

Charles: what are the confines of prog metal? Prog metal: yes

You analyzing Opeth's progression into jazz would be cool. Checking out a song from every album and talking about them or just the last 4 albums.

You can't react to Periphery without appreciating Spencer's vocals

I want to know how Misha and Charles became friends

As a big jazz fan myself, I find prog rock super fascinating, every tune is like a rhythmic rubik's cube. 'The Endless Knot' by Haken is a great example. The end of that tune has the lead guitarist playing in 5/4, the drummer playing in 4/4, and then another guitarist pumping away this crazy 8 on 10 polyrhythm, so sick!

You should listen to "Owane" he's a beast neo-jazz-fusion-prog guitarist and musician in general, would like to hear your take on him

The crossover I never knew I needed.

"Jazz Pianist Reacts to Metal - Periphery's Rhythms" implies the existence of a "Jazz Pianist Reacts to Metal - Periphery's Harmony" video

Polyphia especially the drumming has a lot of jazz elements to their sound

Tigran’s playing really reminds me of Hiromi Uehara. Love it! Also, I think Devin Townsend has an amazing grasp of harmony and rhythm. And that voice of his...

I love how you were just smiling while listening to Periphery, and really enjoying it. You are precious MUST PROTECT

Periphery is SO fantastic. Such a great option for someone with your musical knowledge.

A lot of good comments here, but no one is mentioning The Dillinger Escape Plan. That's one band you should check out.

You absolutely blew my mind doing three rhythms at once. One with each hand and then vocalizing the third. You did it so casually but it shows such a huge amount of skill. So awesome!

periphery, animals as leaders, TesseracT, they’re all dope.

As a huge Metal and Jazz fan I already know that I'm going to enjoy this video a lot

That smile at ~ 4:20 was exactly what I did when I first hear Perhiphery, and it was this album. I absolutely fell in love with Satellites and the entirety of the album shortly there after. Thanks for the video!

Check out Arch Echo. They are prog metal but with jazz fusion elements since four of the members are Berklee graduates and you can really tell that. All of it is instrumental and im sure you will enjoy it! Also Plini, australian guitar player, not the heaviest but his melodies are just other wordly!!! Arch Echo- Hip Dipper Plini- Electric sunrise

You should have a listen to "The Contortionist - Language I & II" and then the "Rediscovered" version of "Language" . I'd love to see you react to that ! Also, Gojira.

You should check out “Thank You Scientist”!! They are a prog-metal jazz fusion band - I could recommend so many songs but For an instrumental: “Rube Goldberg Variations” is a great track, and for one with vocals? “Swarm” is one of my Favourites “Psychopomp” is a fantastic one too but there are so many to choose from!

“Their dogs were astronauts” made an excellent riff, with only one note, on the songs “Yesterday’s Tomorrow,” and “Section X” (the motif returns and changes slightly.) have a listen to that

Good god, thank you for showing me Periphery. I have been so removed from metal for years and this hooked me right back in. :D My roots are entrenched in various genres of metal, but for the past few years now I've been branching and and not looking back. This, is like a breath of fresh air.

THIS IS THE CONTENT I NEED IN MY LIFE Signed, A jazz-loving prog head

The way Charles sinks into the frame at 0:06 is hilarious

First video I have seen from your channel and I Immediately subscribed after your opening example! I have noticed these things in the two genres of music and to see your theoretical breakdown explain it all blew me away! Great content! Can't wait to watch all of your other videos!

I feel like whenever you said "Metal", you meant "Prog Metal", because vanilla metal (heavy metal, power metal, etc) is a lot more "normal" when it comes to rhythms. And I feel like that kinda _is_ what makes prog metal prog metal. Complex rhythms and harmonies... Of course different metal has that as well, but I feel like for prog metal it's a defining feature.

Unpopular opinion: Thank You Scientist is the greatest band ever when popularity is not taken into account, if that makes sense. The point is, please check them out they are AMAZING. Love the vids Charles!

Periphery is my husband's favorite band and one of my favorite. We saw them live last year and it was SO GOOD! those dudes are so fun to watch and silly, Misha gave another member a kiss on the cheek while playing.

Math Rock. ‘Tis a real thing. Chon You’re welcome.

One of my favorite videos so far, and I've watched a lot of your stuff. I'm so excited that you're entering the endless vortex of complexity and musical genius behind prog/prog metal. MOAR!!!!!!!!!

You should check out Anomalie, and especially his song Velour - it’s super groovy

Check out The Dillinger Escape Plan. You’d probably like “Mouth of Ghosts”. Overall, a very heavy band, but heavily influenced with jazz. For more prog, check out Caligula’s Horse, Haken, Thank You Scientist, Frost*, Disperse, Atheist, and Cynic.

DUDE! Thank you so much for getting me onto Periphery! Incredibly fantastic stuff!

I wanna see Charles’ mind be blown from listening to The Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater. All those time signature changes...

Oh my god I did NOT expect to see charles analyzing Periphery but I am elated

Charles brightening up everyone’s Friday with these vids!! Thanks man!💙

This is awesome! Thank you for breaking this down. Very appreciative.

Thank you for featuring Periphery, Charles! This song has blown my mind since the record came out. Another great example of shifting time signature stuff that I think you’d really like is the last minute or so of Empty Party Rooms by Minus the Bear. Thanks for being a great music creator!

He’s the captain now, you heard him. And what a talented captain he is. *Ya like jazz?*

Loved that Periphery album, Satellites is just insane. Regarding metal-influenced jazz, I think you'd dig Dan Weiss's Starebaby. That's some wicked stuff. Also check out Ben Monder's Hydra!

Hey mann!! It’s been two days I’ve been watching all your videos!! It’s really interesting how you react and analyze different music

dude, great job snapping the dot halfs and the beat at the same time! honestly super impressive.

For more jazzy rhythms in metal, check out Dream Theater or TesseracT

Biggest metal rhythmic mind-blown moments (for me): Metallica - Blackened (last statement of main riff) Dream Theater- The Mirror Tool - Lateralus

as a pianist/drummer who loves both jazz and metal (and Charles Cornell), i really found this video great! Love the content!

Such a phenomenal track by my favourite band. I fawn over the latter half of the song all the time. Thanks for making a video about it! One of Periphery’s trademarks are their sections of highly specific rhythmic syncopations (often 8-16 measures) which occur in so, so many Periphery tracks. You can tell Misha has a really good grasp of the 16th note grid.

check out Tool, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Car Bomb

Fun facts: At 0:28 when he said “so” I thought he meant “sol” like in solfege only to discover that it was a te not a sol Of course this is assuming that “do” is C because if we dont have a reference point then anything could be anything and we’d all be just confused Thank you for coming to my ted talk

YES! I'm SO happy you covered Periphery, especially Satellites. That ending riff is so god tier, I love listening to the rhythmic motion of it all. I know you'll get more recommendations for more metal music - I hope you end up covering more, because prog/djent metal has so much rhythmic and even harmonic depth to it

You and Misha are a power duo. The fact y'all are friends is bonkers I would love that back story

PLEASE DO ANIMALS AS LEADERS. Look up Tosin Abasi you will not be disappointed lol!

OH YEAH I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING

I freaking love this song. What a great riff to break down.

Okay. I love Tigran's music. Thanks for turning me onto it.

What you described about the 3 beat into 4/4 immediately reminded me of “In the Cage” by Genesis

Dream theater - Dance of the eternity, you'll love the middle piano section

You would not believe how long I was waiting for you to dive into this genre - even bigger fan now :)

This type of rhythmic stuff is my absolute jam. Thanks for breaking this down!

Protest The Hero. Palimpsest. Yeah, tons of cool rhythmic stuff in there.

Lately I've been listening to opeth, they're great because they're fairly heavy but have very beautiful acoustic interludes. I'd love if you could check ghost of perdition, great tune. Excellent video, great for those who cannot pay music school lol.

I've been waiting for this video for my whole life!

I'm a metal guitarist and have been following your channel for a while, this upload was a very pleasant surprise. :)

You should listen to POLYPHIA's G.O.A.T.

Listen to "Native Construct", trust me Charles.

Man oh man thank you for introducing me to Tigran's music!

I loved the rhythm lessons here. I was on my high-school drum line, and taking a college music intro class really helped me put even ore together. I love rhythm so much. Especially "weird" and interesting rythms. 7/8 is my favorite more common odd time signature. I've it when songs change back and forth between two odd times. This video has shown me that you can obtain a similar feel with a different technique.

How many people are just casually friends with Misha? Rick Beato, this dude who I've just seen now (and subbed)

Hi Charles, I love your series 'Jazz Pianist Reacts' and was wondering if you could do an episode looking at the title track to Dua Lipa's latest album ‘Future Nostalgia' - there's one section in the song where the drums drop out and there's some reharminization using ‘jazz chords' that I think is awesome, it caught me off guard the first time I heard it as I was just expecting it to be the same I IV V chords the whole way through! Either way, keep up the good work I'm a massive fan of your content :)

I've been a metal guy my whole life, but checked out Tigran from your suggestion and instantly fell in love, please give me more to look into, this just grooves on a level I've never experienced before!

What a wonderful explanation for the favorite breakdown I ever wrote but didn’t understand why it sounded so cool.

Check out the band “Unprocessed” they take a lot of these rhythm concepts to an extreme with polyrhythms, odd meters, and etc.

My favorite math rock/ prog rock band is called Dance Gavin Dance, honestly has some great progressions and rhythmic figures that stand out in many ways that other music doesn’t. Satellites sounds pretty similar to their songs as well

I really like your new set Charles!

Just discovered this video. Have a Bahelor's degree in Jazz and Master's in Music Education and am smiling ear to ear having watched your video. I wish I had more people who spoke this lanuage in my life. So thank you that was refreshing and well done man. My props to Misha and the gang too. Its hilarious and awesome to see my students react when i roll into the school parking lot where I teach blasting Periphery with a skateboard on my back seat. I am happy to hear more and more musicians in this world need to blur these genre lines. Hit me up if you need some symphonic or jazz stems to play around with.

One of my favorite progressive metal/death metal band is Jinjer for sure. "Home Back" is probably my favorite song on their most recent album, Macro, followed by "Ape", "Teacher, Teacher" and "Perennial" on the Micro album. A little bit about them is that they're from Ukraine and have a female lead, Tatiana. She has a really nice tone in her voice but where she really shines is in her vocal growls. The rest of the band is their guitarist- Roman, the bassist- Eugene, and the drummer- Vladislav (or just Vlad). The instrumentals are fucking incredible and since Vlad has joined the band (in 2014 I think?) the music has only gotten better. Please check them out! Even if you don't have them in a video, I think a lot of people can get into them. Many say to check out their song "Pisces" first. After listening to all of their other songs, "Pisces" is way low on my list of Jinjer faves.

LOL I was just thinking the whole time about the sub-genre of metal "math rock" so 10:00 hit me XD

I really loved this video. Because is way more than a "reaction video". Not a typical guy in a corner of the screen saying "wow, dope, go off bruh". Keep it up Charles, cheers from the DR 🤙🏽🇩🇴

You do a great job of explaining these things. I get it when I play through it, but I couldn't explain it.

jazz metal? haken you need to listen to them you need it suggestions : atlas stone, falling back to earth, the point of no return

I know you’ve looked at Jacob Collier in the past, but I’d love if you could check out his Hallelujah cover, it’s so interesting harmonically and compositionally, and I really want to see your take on it!

I've been in love with polyrhythms since I discovered them. It's all really fun and interesting

very useful/valuable explanations - i learned alot, thanks

Red Bull Racing eh? How about a musical analysis of Super Max by the Pitstop Boys lol

There’s a sub-genre called Mathrock which is basically gothic jazz.

Man you just made a video about everything I love in music. Meshuggah is my favorite band ever, they’re so inspirational! I think it would be really cool to also have video on them x) And generaly metal is such a great universe and wenn you get it combined with more jazz stuff like with tigran it gets so incredible... Man just make more videos, I love it!

Cool way of explaining rhythmic phasing that I hadn't thought of before! As a percussionist, this automatically made me think of Steve Reich's Clapping Music and his other phasing works like Music for Pieces of Wood
