You can't miss the drummer being so on time, he definitely deserves props for holding them on time

So proud of my nephew Clay on the Drums. I love playing with him at home with my Ludwig Classic Maple Kit. He is truly amazing. Uncle Kevin

If you listen real close, the creepy opening melody is present the entire song. Every riff revolves around that melody. The harmonics in the main riff is the whole melody spelled out. Super ingenious, well hidden, but on discovery super obvious. I really dig this song.

His reaction to hearing it for the first time is my reaction to hearing it for the 100th time

Bassist: hey I'm here as well

This song sounds like a remix of the original song but this the original

The drummer is extraordinary here in this song . He is literally the metronome of throughout the song . Incredible work

It cannot be understated how incredibly intricate the whole arrangement is and make no mistake the drummer is in charge here. Phenomenal performance from a band who are masters of their craft.

Some of the best guitarists and quaterbacks are born and raised in Texas...must be something in the water.

The drummer is so consistent I feel as though he is the foundation that the guitars sit atop of and then accent. Their tone in general makes this for me

Polyphia did their first tours of Japan by joining forces with a Japanese KZfaq guitar prodigy that had covered their song Aviator, incl the blazing Jason Richardson guest solo. When she was in elementary school. By the time she was 11 she was signed to Sony, her first two albums were all instrumental, she got to join the guys onstage and generally meet the world’s greatest shredders (Guthrie Govan gave her tips in person; she does NAMM Ibanez booth with Kiki Lourero & polyphia, Jason R; jams with bumblefoot, Mateus asato, etc; joint interviews with Marty Friedman; Paul Gilbert contacted her with an open/public video to give her free lessons, etc). For her 15th birthday she released two songs with her new band (guitarist & singer), and got Billy Sheehan & Shane Gaalaas as guest rhythm section. 15 yr old LisaX, One More Chance is Enough, check it out. (Remember to count! And yes,the keyboard slot is up for grabs!) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/huCjpNCfqsecaZc.html

why are music teachers always so loveable? i just subbed

The bass and the drums work together so amazingly in this song

You know the song is good when you make the music teacher literally just take a deep reflection on how great music is in general

found out about your channel because of the chon reaction, i'm a huge fan of chon and not many people react to them so thankyou!

not too much analysis going on but i do appreciate the fun fact cards that pop up

PLINI- Electric Sunrise.

Just found the channel and I absolutely love the pop up info boxes. I old enough to get major Vh1 nostalgia vibes and I can't thank you enough for it.

I'd strongly recommend Animals as Leaders. Though Cafo is the most popular song done for reaction videos, I'd recommend any of their more current songs as they much better.

I’m so glad you did this song. I was going to comment on your last video last nights and recommend it!! How awesome.

Excellent format with notes as the video progresses. Thank you for your work.

The drummers little groove at 3:43 is my favourite part of the whole song. I've been a guitar player for 25 years and obviously love what they are doing on guitar and bass, but the drummer is doing incredible work throughout.

Never fails that when that guitar starts, instant goosebumps all over

I subscribed as soon as you played that part on the piano. Loved it!

Watching you always cheers me up. Thanks my dude.

The old school Pop-up Video vibes with the facts on screen is awesome. Great Vid

Im a guitarist loved it but drummer caught my ears instantly

4:20 made me wanna subscribe. Keep it real and getting some raw emotion on the screen man heck yea

this guy gets it bruh!! just being a part of music is one of the most fulfilling things in the world

Thanks very much. It's great to see a new channel where - through your community - you can shine a light on tremendously talented musicians and vocalists, like these. I really enjoyed it here new sub/bell

Just one of the insane things about this band I don't see too often is that when the bass is focused around the root notes, the guitars are playing a totally different riff based around the 3rd or the 5th of the root note so the entire band is playing 2 or 3 different melodies and somehow playing them all as chords with several different fills all being tied together by the drums that done even play a "safe beast in the pocket" it's really unique and had weird rhythms that work so well for the song.

I really love what you said about the love we all have about music. Feel the exact same way!

Loved the piano outro Also the picture of shredded paper when you explained they used to shred harder lol.

new to this channel. love the 'behind the music' vibes with the info boxes. great stuff dude

I saw them live on the 22nd of September in Columbus with Dance Gavin Dance and my God were they amazing. They can play all this shit flawlessly live. DGD is my favorite band of all-time so getting to hear Polyphia too was out of this world. The raw drums and how absolutely incredible he is. The way their drummer keeps them on time makes their songs sound so perfect. Also, you have to give their bassist a lot of credit too. One of the most funky bass parts I've ever heard. Tim Henson is just an absolute animal. I can't wait to hear some new stuff from them.

I absolutely adore this band! Great reaction! Another great song by them that you should consider is Nightmare!

Never heard so many harmonics in a song.. They made the best use of this.. And heads off to the drummer.. Damnn the timings

That was the best music reaction vid I've seen in a long while. I mean I stayed to the end, unusual for me.

Now you gotta watch ichika nitooo

Saw these guys, in Boston, this past Thursday and they were awesome!!! Played just before DGD!!!

one of the best shows i ever saw live and nobody on stage even moved

Cool piece, so much emotion and heavy going on at the same time

That bassist is an absolute beast!!!!!!!!

Liked the piano bit! Give O. D. and/or Nasty a listen if you want more Polyphia

I love the extra info on the sides!

You make me coment by your ending cover!! you trapped me into the sound! I reproduce a playlist while i working and I paused to see what happened! You're a great musician!

Polyphia collaborated with BABYMETAL on their new Brand New Day song.

So glad i found you. Im in the right place because you listen just like i do.. every reaction u had was exactly like mine lol . Knowing your a teacher.. gives me a lil more confidence in my training. Im on to something 😎 great content.

If you want to check out something you've maybe never listened to, check out Destroyer by Inferi! Highly technical while still being melodic

Thanks for video!!)

your xylo cover sealed the deal, liked and subscribed!

Found you because of you jinjer reactions but had to sub and hit the bell for your awesome content!

First video I’ve seen from you, liked and subscribed.

Just discovered the channel. Take my subscription you good man.

Had to subscribe when I saw you review 2 bands I thought nobody really heard of that are my absolute favorite, Dance Gavin Dance and Polyphia.

Lol just for kicks (I also don’t know if you have already seen it) but check out Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail

Really gonna need you to react to some Thank You Scientists, perfect for any music teacher to react to

Not sure if there’s already been a video on CHON but if not they are definitely worth checking out

Awesome reaction

haunting beauty seems like a cliche phrase, but to me it best sums up the tone of this piece

Pauses right before clay’s base solo: ugh! Talks over clay’s base solo: 😭 WHYYYY

Im loving your side note fact pop ups, very original and well informed, love it Btw you should check out nightmare or euphoria from them, most definitely worth it

i found polyphia from a video on facebook of a little bit of guitar solo. i'm not a musician and ive always been curios what a professional thinks of it. because it sounds amazing to me.

I really love the "pop-up video" format

wow...so greet. i like it.Good Job man. Like From Malaysia

this is my first video here and im hooked i listen to polyphia all the time but you adding those fun facts to the screen made me just instantly click subscribe after i seen the second fact

love those trivias

Great improvisation at the end

Highly recommend checking out Between The Buried & Me - Extremophile Elite (live from the fidelitorium)

came here from the dance gavin dance video you just posted and I have now subscribed. I love how pure your reactions are also check out Spiritbox!! They're one of my all time favorites. Trust Fall was the first I ever heard. Blessed Be is also really fucking good!

These guys are insane. THe melody is mostly implicit in the chord progression. They are very on top of it with the guitar parts. And the beat is really tight, with the guitars and bass keeping the accents. Even when the drums are not playing (like in the beginning) the beat is so clear and makes you move your head.

FINALLY someone wh doesnt turn a 3 minute song into a 40 min video i love you, have a great day

You gotta do unleash the archers - the awakening. It's a MUST!

Okay had no idea about there name so thanks for that, I started getting into music because of math and progressive rock music so that was an interesting fact to know

You should react to Manuel Gardner and Tim Henson playing In the cut. It’s pure gold.

Took me 2 weeks but i finally play the whole intro perfectly !

Thanks for reacting to this! Next up, rule of nines by spiritbox

Definitely listen to crush by them. One of my favorites.

It's amazing the way you reacted to the video. Most of the reaction videos pause it each 10 seconds to say stupid comments. You let the video continue in order to provide a good comment. Continue with the hard work. Cheers form Mexico.

he’s feelin it

"I'm gonna have nightmares about that" Just wait until Tim comes in.

Since you’re starting to dip into the progressive metal scene I think it would be cool to hear your thoughts on some meshuggah, maybe dancers to a discordant system. Or if you liked polyphia I know you’ll love animals as leaders. Probably the best prog band on the scene right now any song by them will definitely grab your attention. Love the channel man 👍🏻

i fucking love this song

Quite outstanding 🏆

David you should check out Arch Echo, would love to hear your reaction... their lead guitarist went to Berklee at the same time as my daughter

This channels a little too underrated it’s so high quality hope the clout comes in soon

Love the random facts!

For something to switch it up, Chris Turner: 40 Roll It’s a drum instrumental and it’s absolutely insane!

Please do "Dance Gavin Dance". They have insane vocals and instruments.

You need to react to periphery reptile, they do a live version too that is really good. It has 3 amazing guitarists in it

have heard of them by name but never checked their stuff out. it sound cool and all but it not my style. it is bloody well executed and it great craftmanship good video once again.

there is a band from my town that plays music just like this! they're Delete Insert

You should react to wavey-fade your mind will be blown. Ultra superior musicianship.

i wish you had done some of their first stuff like Transcend or Impassion instead. im from Dallas and seen them live but unfortunately it wasnt the original 4 members.

If you´ve loved this one, then you should definately check out Unprocessed, they went on Tour together.

Please do a reaction on Intervals!

It would be really awesome if you could react to Constellation of Tears from Cains Offering. Its Powermetal and it is truly awesome

Amazing video. You should react the female fronted band spiritbox

Tricot - Potage. Math rock at it’s finest

Great reaction! Maybe Tesseract-Hexes(studio) next?
