I'm '57 just started checking 'em out 3 mo ago... never heard any of their music before then...... now I have tix to the LA show in aug. 1 week after my 58th bday. Pretty sure ill be " the Ol' Man In Da Club" lol
remember when that album came out and they came to my town, yvette young and her band (i forget what they're called) opened for them, one of my fav concerts of all time and it was in a small bar haha
Funny story, this one time when Tim showed his writing process, he writes it on a midi keyboard connected to his PC then figures out how to play it on his guitar once he's satisfied.
This band has single handedly restored my faith in Rock'n'Roll as a worthwhile musical form. Let's hope they inspire a million young musicians to be similarly creative.
These guys are fuckin awesome.... And they're getting better and better every day.. Most of the songs they played were spot on accurate.... Thank you so much for uploading this video.. ♥️

Just a stamina thing most likely, you try playing these songs for 30mins and not bend flat or pause for a line or two. The part that bothered me was always how he handled the bends in nicks solo. Somethings off when he learned that one

I was considering watching this live today but can’t justify $75 since I’m broke right now. I also am less of a “polyphia fan” so much as a Tim fan. I hate to say that because his band mates work so hard but I wish Tim was a soloist.
They don't have much stage presence, and when any of them steps up to talk into that mic, it just comes across like a brony convention! I love their music, but they need to develop their stagecraft as much as they've developed their musical chops.
Well there songs are extremely hard to play especially after drinking and having all the adrenaline. I honestly thought they played amazingly for an instrumental, technical band.
@@xborg3236 Have you played any of their songs? You're back and forth across the fretboard at such high speeds and hitting so many harmonics that it's really hard to play perfectly. It's disingenuous to compare with other guitarists who aren't playing parts that require as much precision.
@@xborg3236 Scottie's parts are difficult but way more consistent than Tim's parts, Tim's parts get awkward to play since he makes them way harder than they need to be. So yeah tim makes way more mistakes
Since Tim likes to compare himself to the greats that he’s better than, Polyphia is for sure not Pink Floyd, he’s more like a punk Paco de Lucia…maybe, that’s generous
@@zackmash851 And so it may be, but talent isn’t everything. They’re as talented as Yes or Genesis in terms of the progressive and experimental style for the day. My preference is for something with soul and bittersweet emotion.
@@finnmacdiarmid3250 i love how soulful they can write their music while also being technically intense. makes it so it doesnt get boring. the passion it took to get to this level of playing is more than the entirety of pink floyd's open G strumming could ever reach
Bit fret wanky and soulless if you ask me. Not that they're not really good at what they do obviously, but you kind of get numbed out by all the notes after a while.
Agreed, Henson (and others of that style) is the start of a new chapter in the electric guitar's history. Notice also how the audience actually stands and watches/listens as opposed to leaping about like a bunch of idiots. Reminds me of the days of Hendrix and early Zeppelin gigs where the crowd actually took notice of the artist.
Yeahhh Im not going to lie I was in Houston with Tim right in front of me and I just stood there in Awe. I couldnt stop watching him just fucking shred. Incredible experience
@@adrianramirez4884 That's what I'm saying. You hear everyone go wild when they finish, but during they're silent because they wanna fucking listen instead of yelling WOOOO!
"How to not play a single melody for an entire evening" (and no, please don't tell me I'm jealous or anything - I absolutely acknowledge that these guys are technical greats)
Just because they have multiple melodies in one song or because they play fast doesn't mean there is no melody, most their music, especially the latest stuff is very melodic. The fact that I can sing (out of tune but still) most of their riffs is pretty much evidence of that
Agreed. Dont get me wrong - they are amazing musicians who are redefining their instruments. (I applaud them for that) But "trap" beats in general are very repetitious. A actual singer on atleast a couple of songs would make it more interesting. Still very cool though.

Damn you held your phone up for 45 mins. Shit. Was there on left side
wow
lmao a wall of death at a Polyphia concert
Holy shit, this fucks 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Take all my likes!
I can barely hear Scott on this video. Is it just phone audio stuff or was his sound really that quiet on the show?
Its the phone. Their audio is mixed extremely well at the show. They sound like the album. Its actually insane.
It seems to me, or is there something wrong with Clay? I'm used to the fact that he usually has fun at concerts, but last lives he is somehow not himself
Right? He barely says anything, he used to talk as much as scott
Maybe he’s just tired of everyone’s shit lol
He’s usually drunk as all hell at these shows, but they’re taking things a lot more seriously sober now. He’s probably just not energized
saw somewhere that clay is sober now so that probably has something to do with it
@@steeleemedia9417 yeah he used to be a mad lad at every concert, so that would make sense
