Fun thing about this video is that every time you see them in a new room or setting, you'll notice they keep progressively going up floors in the building. The higher up they go the more intense and difficult the song gets. Until they finally reach the top, which is where the master himself is waiting to receive them, seated on his throne. The whole video builds to them meeting Steve vai at the top of the guitar game, and being accepted by him as having reached that status. Honestly such an awesome visual analogy of musicians that hold each other in the highest of respects.

@chunkychoncc91 Жыл бұрын
I had the same interpretation, really well done by them - I also think that the very end, when they are admiring in silence a trumpet melody, gives a suggestion that they all consider melody (not shred) being the pinnacle of music, which seems true for how both Polyphia and Vai approach music.

@jojoversus1100 Жыл бұрын
Could he, though? Could he "shred them into pieces"? because all I see here is a lazy walker making a bunch of noise. I've seen Crossroads, I know Vai can shred, but this sh*t was just lazy, slow, weak, & noisy. Honestly a terrible solo. Just, let me ask you this: Do you think there will ever be a point where you could "sing" Vai's solo? It's a known trick when learning to play a solo, it's smart to learn to "sing" it to yourself so you have the notes & structure memorized. Do you think you could memorize this noisy mess?

the more i listen to this the more i fall in love with how much of an homage it is to the polyphia journey. There are clear bits of both muse and most hated in there, plus great darker harmonic minors that provided the backbone on NLND and the acoustic riff of the remember that you will die. Vai's solo was just lovely as he did so much classic steve vai shit, with a new level of whammy abuse, fitting into the pocket of the song and raising the bar. The final jam with the three of them baack to back felt like a g3 crescendo. What cannot be understated is just HOW WELL the two clay's play off each other. Gober especially does the simple stuff so fucking well, and knows how to bring in the fuel for the guitarists' fire

I don't think it would've made sense for Steve to do lots of technical stuff, considering both guitarists (all the musicians actually) already have ridiculously technical parts in the song. It would've sounded too crowded and it'd be impossible to balance all three parts without confusing the listener. So Steve's part in this song is more of a over-arching melodic line that compliments the already fast, technical stuff underneath it (and vice-versa). I think they did a pretty great job with the song's arrangement.

As a former bass player, I wish my bass brethren would realize how much a solo mustache makes them look like "weird bass guys"

Polyphia continue 2 inspire me as a Bass player who has listened to everything from Death,Bjork,Miles ,Bob Dylan,Cynic,,Nas,Jaco,everything and anything that pushes the envelope, they give me hope that music will continue 2 get better!

I hope they throw in more searing guitar solos like on Crush or 87 like the old days. Searing solos hit hard. Nowadays they seem to be going for a solo that sounds like digital glitching.

I love how - everyone expects Steve to SHRED...and he doesn't: ... ... Instead, he puts out one of the most passionate solos in his entire career.
