Thank you so much for sticking with the channel through everything! More great stuff coming soon!
tim henson is not a tool, bro has a wife and dogs and is very humble and chill
i get not liking the music, but you're just hating on their looks?? kinda weird from a grown man
Bro he has tattoos on his neck and he is wearing a women’s sweater. I’m surprised he ain’t gay
I'm jealous
@@PatrickMusilek Big same. Tim is a criminally pretty man.
Jealous and a bit ironic, I'd guess.
Right?
Don't take everything so serious.
Tried so hard to watch this video in its entirety, but didn’t even get halfway. It was *exhausting* having to hear you be such a gigadork about the physical appearance of a talented musician😂
after watching this video ive come to a conclusion that audio engineers dont know shit about music
Explains why so much music is mixed like ass
He calls himself audio engineer but knows nothing about instruments
Tim’s a really nice guy
I will shamefully admit I also had the "I hate the way that guy looks, what a tool" reaction when I first found Polyphia but (a) who cares - look however you want, and (b) you are right, he seems like a really nice guy.
@@DanWhiteTI still remember the hate he got for saying “boomer bends”. People took it as a personal insult when the point he was making was valid
Nicer than these two, that's for sure.
Its music for musicians or people that know enough to appreciate all that is happening so yeah it does go over peoples heads but they also use alot of pop chord progressions and they keep everything at the core really simple so that helps
No musical school, just intense practice, self-study, and years of experimentation.
Personally, I think people need to get away from the "need accreditation from institution to be smart/good" mentality. Universities are people teaching people, they don't have some sort of secret sauce that other people don't have access to.
If you're self-motivated enough, and have an internet connection, you can pretty much do anything you want nowadays.
Very well said sir.
Guy on the right won’t stop yapping. Unbearable to watch.
Two things. 1) Seeing them live is crazy. The only back tracking is the little sounds, think the howls on GOAT, and vocals. Everything else is played 1 to 1 live. 2) They are as clean live as they are on the album which makes me want to chuck my guitar out the window. Seriously, if they missed a note somewhere, I did not hear it. Freaking wild to witness.
Audio engineers that let bias get in the way of the music, now that's something you don't see everyday. It surprises you that people like technical music? "Shows music that blows his mind" more like blows his prejudices into the open.
The egg in the right cant play the flute yet he asks who would listen to Polyphia 😂.
I am 52 years old, just got back from Vegas Sick New World just to see these guys (and many other awesome bands) . Saw them in LA last year. The sounds they make just make my brain happy. They are all great musicians and have about a 12 year history and Tim is a pretty cool dude. Progression you either fight it or accept it. I grew up with punk ska reggae groove, and this is just the next phase. Dig em.
Just saw them a Sonic Temple. Polyphia and Helmet were the highlights of the weekend for me.
I’m 50 and took my 16 year old daughter and her friend to see them. A virtuoso jazz duo named Domi and JD Beck opened for him. The crowd was all ages, all types, and the show was awesome.
Live they have some tracks, but it’s minimal…some of the sub-bass stuff was most obvious…but the performance felt fairly natural sounding. I love that they are making virtuosity popular again but putting a spin on pop music. And all of them appear to be humble, down to earth, and normal people. You came out with an open mind…but it didn’t start that way…maybe more listening and less talking next time. ABC and Playing God would be fun. Also the song in the new record that Chino from Deftones sings on is pretty cool.
A rudimentary mind would have trouble appreciating Polyphia's complexity. These two clowns prove it.
These guys are from small town Texas. I posted a long time ago talking about how they take the bass note quality and mix out the low end of the bass guitar. Then they insert 808s to take up the Low end.
Makes total sense!
As a polyphia fan I understand that it goes over most people's heads. I don't think everyone can hear or enjoy the melody in their playing if they're not as musically inclined or have a preference for this sort of thing. Hence the reason why they're mostly enjoyed and appreciated by musicians.
The first polyiphia song I’ve listened to was goat. Still my fav
Do a Polyphia video watching GOAT and Playing God
i would be really interested in seeing you guys react to Polyphia's Chimera. its not everyday you get flamenco djent rap.
Oh that does sound interesting!
"yappers yap to musicians (part 1)"
FYI: he is using a Guitartracking system that detects guitar notes and sends it to a synth in "realtime" I would bet there must be a little latency, but you can buy his Architype Neural DSP AMP and try to use but you need to play very precisly to get a nice tone
i won't comment on this because somebody never stopped talking and missed everything.
this is the first time i see someone noticing how tim looks, this is the frist time i pay atention to it, i don't care rlly i just really like the music
Very cool to see! If I ask somebody to check out Polyphia for the first time, I would probably say to listen to a song from one of their older albums, like Mood Swing, and then hit something a little newer like Goose or G.O.A.T. They started out with a bit more kind of progressive metal djent style, and slowly got more influence by pop and hip-hop/electronic beats. Pretty cool to see the progression of style
for me it cant have a tick tocky feeling simply because they have talent. Anything that has talent in it simply doesnt connect with cringy zoomer shit in my mind
Your reaction was such a roller coaster 😆I hated it one second and loved it the other.
they arent music school people and dont thing abt music theory much
Check out the playthrough of Chimera
There is such a thing as being overly critical. Maybe more people like that than dislike that? Idk. Sometimes less is more.
Saw them at the Warfield in Cali there awesome
Imagine looking like the guy on the left and actually complaining about how someone else looks. Insane.
Their core audience is musicians, not young girls. Awful take.
There would have been studio live performance as well to react to. They have developed away from the metalcore band they once were. The guy gets stuck into that Justin Bieber thing.
i havent heard of family force 5 since like 2005 lol.
Of course, the balding guy is the one commenting on looks. Look harder at the mirror next time. 😂😂🤡🤡
Commenting on him being bald is just going down to his idiotic level. Being bald has nothing to do with it. He's a profound moron.
😭😭
Polyphia is now basically Technical Pop Music, which is an idea I like. I went to two shows and they sound amazing. But I agree with Chris that I’m not a big fan of their visuals.
Thinks their guitars looked whack. Change video
In fairness, this is like bottom two or three songs from them. Their early stuff is way better
Watching both your faces was THE BEST. Totally dumbfounded 😮 But I love the sound of this band!!
bro you not reacting to playing god?? mygod u missed the big thing from polyphia bro
They do alot of elevator music 😂
Such a pretentious review from the dude on the right, added absolutely zero value or insight. Painful watch.
This shit is so pretentious and it's a bit ironic lol.
I know but there's nothing wrong with pretentious music!
@@PatrickMusilek oh my bad. I meant the reactors not the music.
They should have watched the live Playthrough of this instead smh
I would call them...virtuoso guitar ensemble with groove.
Or combo even...jazz word.
Inter-dimensional Elevator Music?
you guys should start listening to the Deftones albums
A good chance at a redemption video. This one was abrasive.
Never metal. Bloodbath is about the closest to metal.
Review BLOODBATH ft Chino Moreno do iiiiiiiiit.
the guy on the right has so little to say,, and yet he talks so much
The irony of speaking about anyone else's looks, when you've completely given up on yours. Of course, if you didn't look like a potato, you wouldn't feel the need to dis others. Life is odd in that way.
D1 haters
I like how open minded the guy on the right is …. Seriously you stated your opinion but made sure to say why and cater to the other side of the argument. 👍👍
Justin Beiber? Wtf?
I am coming to the conclusion you don't have to know a goddamn thing about playing music to be an "audio engineer"
Why would you have to know how to play an instrument in order to be an audio engineer? I find that most times being a musician AND an audio engineer doesn't necessarily correlate.
Someone who plays a particular instrument may favor that instrument when mixing a song. For example a guitar player in a band who mixes their own album might tend to put more effort into the sound of the guitars and could easily ignore some of the other instruments in the band or at the very least put less effort into making them as important as the guitars.
A person who's in love with music but from a production standpoint and not necessarily a performance standpoint is the type of person you want to record edit and mix your album. If they are a competent audio engineer they should know how to balance a mix properly and give each separate sound the attention it deserves.
Many famous record producers, mixing engineers, and editing engineers (which are all encompassed in the "audio engineering" side of things) are not musicians. They might start out young and get a job working at a recording studio because they think it's cool and over the years they end up doing more and more for that studio and eventually become audio engineers.
I definitely think you have to have a basic understanding of how music works of course, and there is definitely an artistic side to creating music. But sometimes you can be benefited greatly by someone who looks at it from a more technical standpoint and an objective point of view rather than a subjective one.
You guys are so fukin' old in your thinking.
Hey Patrick, I was wondering if we could add slipknot to the list of bands you guys were going to listen to songs from. Recently got into them and am loving everything I'm hearing so far and so would love to hear your thoughts on some of their stuff!
Slipknot is one of those bands kind of like corn that for some reason both Chris's seem to scoff at... Also a bit like Kid Rock LOL.
I know Chris Schoenberg has specifically mentioned that slipknot's first album sounds very bad sonically. I only know the few Slipknot songs that I have heard that have been there bigger hits.
I will add them to the list for sure and if nothing else will try to do one of the four or five songs from across their catalog videos when we get to that point!
@@PatrickMusilek awesome, thanks so much! You are absolutely right about the first album sounding like poop but the production somehow fits the aggression of the songs really well which has allowed me to ignore the production to a certain extent which I appreciate will be a lot harder for you as a professional. Their second album and onwards has much better production and although I was like you in the beginning and could never really get into them because I thought they were silly, I am now liking them a tonne perhaps as a result of the age difference from when I first heard them and what kind of place I'm in right now. (I'm 16 so being a teenager might have something to do with it). Thanks again, and best wishes from England!
@@PatrickMusilekas someone who doesn’t care much for slipknot their first album is honestly their best and the one that shows their sound the most
If I was in a competition for the most punchable face of all time and I saw Tim Henson enter the room I'd probably call it quits on the spot
But other than goat that is the only song I really like. Most of it is a mess
@tijmen-vm9lq no it would sound super messy
@tijmen-vm9lqthey sound great live actually, the energy is crazy in the crowd. They’re actually very tight with their timing. I’d watch them live again if I could
Hate it lol
