      Brandon, please, you uploaded a cover of the song I'm Low on Gas and You Need a Jacket by Pierce the Veil. That was by far my favorite version of that song, ever, I loved it more than the original. If there is any way you could reupload it it would mean the world to me. Long time fan, you're amazing dude, keep up the work. You're an inspiration to me.

    I have never seen anyone who play like you before. Your compositions and playing exude emotion without any superfluous, performance action. You are precise and technical as a machine, yet you emanate passion both for and through your craft. You must never stop writing. Never stop playing. If you did, the world would be a dimmer for it.

    • @Firebeard_NV
      @Firebeard_NV 7 років тому +10

      Steve Vorass Yes, actually, it is a robot. We call that quantizing. Notice how there's no mics on the drums, yet everything sounds super clean and precise? LIKELY the drums were recorded beforehand, the hits were quantizied or "lined up", and the cymblas were likely recorded on a separate track. Sorry to ruin the magic.

    • @illiasaugustus2026
      @illiasaugustus2026 7 років тому

    • @DEM94
      @DEM94 7 років тому +8

      It's an official video, not an "live in the studio" video. Of course there are no mics on the drums, same as in many other videos there are unplugged guitars. That doesn't mean that he uses the quantizing.

    • @Firebeard_NV
      @Firebeard_NV 7 років тому +1

      David Erro That's why I said "likely". Just saying, in studio it's a common practice, I'd be surprised if there wasn't editing. Even with gates, compression, gain staging, and eq, it's pretty difficult to get drums and cymbals sounding that clear and crisp without editing or running multiple tracks.

    • @jakobfel2
      @jakobfel2 7 років тому +18

      I don't want to say that the guys in Polyphia aren't talented, because they are, but the new direction they've gone is so uninspired (pun intended) and it just lost what made them "them", you know? I just can't listen to the new stuff, it's all too happy and poppy for my tastes. Inspire was that really nice, djenty/ambient prog metal sound that got me into them, and then I was rather quickly let down by the debut album (though it wasn't quite as meh as the newer stuff).

    • @mumpert8091
      @mumpert8091 7 років тому +11

      I too like to listen to the same sounds over and over again without any change because change=bad. Amirite guys? (It was called "the most hated" for a reason)

    • @jakobfel2
      @jakobfel2 7 років тому +3

      Change can be good but when you completely morph your sound from an inspired (pun intended again) djent/prog rock fusion sound that was so beautifully complex, and change it into a boy band-esque rock band with a bunch of shredding for the sake of shredding, that's where I have to draw the line personally. Don't get me wrong, the dudes in Polyphia are extremely talented, I just preferred their sound when Brandon was still involved.

    • @Ordacleaphobia
      @Ordacleaphobia 7 років тому +5

      I figured you did, because they're on what, the third consecutive release now that sounds the exact same?
      The issue I had with the shift in sound was that Muse was a crowdfunded record based off of Inspire. People that pledged into Muse did so because they liked the sound of Resurrect and Inspire, and then got shat on when the record they contributed to wound up being drastically different. Re-read what was said, the gripe is that it's not fresh, it's not different, it's not interesting. "fuck new Polyphia dude shit is so BORING" Nobody's saying "I hate it cause it's different."
      In fact, in my comment, I stated that that was why I liked this release from Brandon. It's different. It's interesting.
