I would 100% buy a shampoo/conditioner set that advertised towards musicians

Then don't listen to Joe Satriani's "The Soul of Distortion." Hahahaha

I think mine would have to be "tipututeputu", such creative use of lines

Also, it was probably the first take 😅

"please dont make me do that again"

Living on that music wavelength. When you click like this (after HOURS of building and practice), your alignment to the music becomes your ONLY communication method.

Highly improbable that it was the first take. They must have done quite a few before in order to work the piece.

@@hagegesamuel Maybe so maybe not? 🤷‍♂️

Tf is a roblox channel doing here lmao

@@foresight6791 look up terabrite songs lmfao. They are AMAZING

Agreed. It's funny mostly none of live version more beautiful than the studio version but this? I really like it more than the studio record tbh.

Less mixed?

And admit it, the video is miles better too. The original one just makes me light headed with so many recuts 🤮

same

Yep, this usually only happens if the arrangements were really strong to begin with

That is super impressive.

They are so evenly matched as musicians it’s insane

@@chefgregdc8569 Did u know they went to the same HS and didn't even know eachother?

@@derekdavis8287I went to your HS and didn’t know you either, until this KZfaq comment 20 years later….

@@pickletarts8196 Ok

Back when I discovered their earlier work, Clay’s style and voicing stood out to me. He’s a incredible player and more than holds his own in a group of virtuoso musicians which is just so hard to do.

I wish he do the headbang while live recording 😂

I see a lot of people demanding Polyphia pick up Charles Berthoud and all I can think is... that might be a cool collaboration at some point, but Polyphia already has their perfect bassist. Clay G is fantastic, and he is just *so* locked in with Clay A. He plays exactly the right notes and nothing more, and he plays them at exactly the right time. He gets moments to shine, but more flexing is not necessarily more better. What I like most about Polyphia is that they avoid the *excessive* wankery you see with many other noodly guitar prodigies for the most part. They show off, sure, and they write complex music, but it's not all noodles all the time. Clay is the perfect distillation of that ethos - he could wank with the best of them but he doesn't because it wouldn't make the music better.

@@srsbsns7673 Very well said.

They compose with that in mind a lot. Their guitar riffs have a ton of breaks, which lets the drummer take over with fills. Bass does the same with hitting roots and specific notes that the guitarists aren't hitting to create certain chords (lots of inversions) They're super talented and meticulously write each note with each member in mind. Actual gods.

Which one?

@@xylonyanzeeXYZ the only one in a separate enclosure my guy

They keep him there when they're not on tour. There's a little slot in the door to push in daily meals of live animals.

@@livecarsonreaction don't forget the beers along with the meal and a pair of drumsticks every few days to keep him occupied

we see him now in his natural habitat

No doubt his good and manage to play something that is good and fun while the guitarist do their business. I hope he manage to shine and get some spotlight on certain songs like John Myung in Dream Theater. I hope the band allow him to do something that everyone will remember the song has a killer bass solo.

Finally it's here. *YES* *kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKlgpdJ20NGvm4U.html*

@@recitationtohear what is wrong with you

@@MyAMJourney it's a bot

gober makes this track entirely his, he is so on point

Yes his parts are always so tasteful and perfect for his style. I tried to be a bass player once, and I can't even imagine trying his pick-hybrid method. Oi.

No, he adds a lot of depth

If you can find a single comment underrating him I'll forfeight. I've never seen a comment putting him anything below amazing.

bass always needs to be louder !

Yeah I agree, I was disappointed by how low he was in the mix. their track GOAT mixed him a lot better

think it's bc the studio version is really heavy on the sub bass which most speakers / headsets don't pick up too well, agreed that this version sounds better for the most part but listening to the studio version with a beefy speaker rig is something else

This is great but I really want a OD vid of him

So. so. so good.

i feel you on this

it definitely was at their show in Houston, if you're able to see them live, it's really an insane experience seeing them play on a headliner tour

Live shows it pops hard :D

Seriously. More bands need to take note.

Yeah... Idk why they make the bass and drums so hip-hop/trapified in the actual songs. This just sounds way better and makes me wish I didn't skip out on their recent concert in my area.

Exactly!

@@arifinali7773 Good one! lol

🙌💯

Sounds like a sansamp to me.

At times, it has that Marcus Miller vibe in his tone.

All Darkglass stuff and ibanez basses, though I've seen him with ernie ball, playing an ibanez ATK 305 here.

It’s been happening to me too.

At first i didnt quite like neurotica but damn it has been growing on me. Every time it sounds better

Me too

I like this song cause you can actually hear whats going on. Some of their songs there is just so much going on that its unrealistic to even try to hear or understand it so its like too much.

@@Phantombuick1 Most of it is pretentious crap, trying WAY to hard to be overly complicated and gimmicky. Doing way too much. I prefer a great melody and pocket. This song is better than a lot of their other stuff, but its still really not my preference. I can appreciate the skill involved, but there is more to music for me than just how many gimmicky techniques you can cram into one run. It remind me a lot of Charles Berthoud. SUPER talented bassist. But he is another one that at times just tries WAY too hard to be overly complicated and cram every technique in the book in one sequence and it just takes away from what could be a great song/melody if he just cut out all the BS.

This isn't that wide. It's actually very stagnant with hardly any reverb .. more reverb. You would here the seperation better. Or if one guy only had it. You would here a bigger difference

No lie - wish the recorded the actual song like this rather than having it super over produced

most bands do that

Lol you mean like literally every 2 guitar band ever ? Weird flex

For real dude. God tier solo writing

Dude. Facts! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mbepe5hpyMuUlqM.html

@@tommykimberlin7528 scottie's solos have always been unreal

feels kinda Chon inspired

reminds me of their renaissance album, a lot of this new stuff does (THANK GOD)

I know this is subjective, but the same could be said for a lot of bands. It just seems to be the standard created by our generation through the accessibility of the internet and ease of home recording setups (get ready to work your ass off if you don't have a convenient pile of money laying around). With the oversaturation it's becoming increasingly important to standout and create your own brand of music. That's not even mentioning the marketing side of music as much as one may hate to admit it. The musician also has to be marketable, because not everybody (speaking for myself) falls in line with current trends. I never have, never will, but I guess you just have to embrace your strengths and learn how to adapt. Pointless rant aside, not trying to take away from what you said, I completely agree. The main take away for someone like me is not only the saucy aspect of their music, but how do you take what they do and inject it into your own secret sauce. That's all

Ya they are pretty neurotic about that. 🤙

Eco metal

​@GymBum I'll admit I'm a poindexter when it comes to music and a lot of things. I'm not trying to detract from the authenticity of the music. I'm just being honest. I might actually get a little recognition if I was more willing to put myself out there and risk failure. One of the hardest parts for me is being more open with other people. It doesn't work well for building friendships through music and life in general. I'm not the worst, but I've had my moments. I don't have natural confidence, I'm hard on myself, and I don't like a lot of attention unless there's a guitar in my hands. You get what you give, and if you give a lot, you'll be successful as long as you learn from your mistakes and never give up. That's all

Funny because I think the contrary. No memorable melody and loads of unecessary notes. But to each their own and I'm happy people like them.

Video game music.

@@cmet8280 Shampoo commercial music

@@biocykle Are you saying I'm not listening?

59 and i recently found them. Guitar, bass, studio owner. When I saw them rating fan covers and taking time to show techniques, and jammin the latest album at 106dB, and another of my favorites, Vai, jammin with them??!! It was a done deal. I can respect the talent and have no prob being a fan of this group of musicians.

Yeah, definitely a huge part of makes Polyphia so amazing. They have the skills AND the style!

2:26 is even better bass 0_0

I feel Polyphia are going to be the new Steve Vai's for Ibanez

@@rautamies2305 100%

Do they have their own signature models already, or not yet ?

@@sembilanindera2231 I know for Tim that he has this model "Ibanez THBB10 Tim Henson", maybe the other guys have their signatures too. But these guitars here seem to be new models I think.

@@DravekMusic Scottie has his own SLM-10 as well, but the Clay's are yet to get thier signatures

@don't be surprised ???

Bro it's gonna be so sick. I'm so glad I happened to be on my phone when they dropped

@don't be surprised I got pizza rolled 😭

one of my all time faves of theirs.

Panels for each band member and then 1 for the mv, like what Wintergaten did for Star Machine 2000

we have that already. it's called a live concert.

Yea too much camera panning id much rather see all 3 at the same time and then throw in some drum angles to break it up.

Such a sick solo

Scottie's playing has grown exponentially these last couple years. He's such a beast. He has to practice 8 hours a day.

This is pretty much my experience too (weird eh?). Came across them a week or so ago via a Rick Beato vid, and have been mesmerized by the skill of these guys, and the sheer beauty of Tim Henson, who I thought initially was a girl but then learned he has a Chinese mother and Caucasian father. For some reason, mixed race people often have a certain standout beauty about them. And I'm a straight married middle aged guy.

I three.

Yea he gorgeous

Same, I don't know how I haven't found Polyphia sooner 🖤 30 mins after I first heard them I was preordering vinyl and a hoodie 😍💕

@@misimiki Oh I didn't know Tim was half Asian.

True, animal! 😊❤

Bro the echo is fucking fire.

they used a delay

@@rja62b watch his stick 2:52

I think they might, the alternative versions like the piano acoustic remix track was tasty. We can hope!

I mean it isn't *the* thing but it def adds a lot

@@sypwer aside from Tim henson’s particular style, any other guitar instrumental band can achieve the same thing. Majority of them do not have a bass player who stands out. That’s what I meant by unique

I agree.Gober is awesome! A lot of bands have good bassists and it does add body to their songs, but I just love how hard it pops here.

Bwahahaha

It's included in the tab weirdly enough, you can't just barely hear it on the recording like some of the harmonies in Finale

nice deadlift

that harmony IS in the original song, but it's hard to catch in the mixing.

Saw them in concert last week and they are just as clean and tight as they are here despite there being an incredible light show and fog blasting in their faces.

"the bass" and "clay" are separate entities lol
