How crazy is it that Jason can just roll out on stage and instantly just rip off one of the most technically challenging solos you'll ever hear and rarely miss a note. I know he gets to warm up off stage but still...it's like a basketball player coming off the bench mid game and making three shots in a row from half court like it's no big deal.

[@MrKjDrake]

Bones12x2 He needs some stage presence. Amazingly technical and damn near spot on to his recording but boring as hell to watch. I get that it’s complicated but he needs to NOT LOOK at his guitar when playing live and look into the audience. He might have stage fright and compensates by looking at his guitar because I bet he could play his solo with his eyes closed.

[@Petrucciation1]

"one of the most technically challenging solos " It's a very advanced solo, but surely not one of the most challenging ones. Speed is not always the major criteria for complexity and difficulty...

[@Matias022]

@@MrKjDrake I'd rather have someone look at their guitar the whole time and nail the song than have him goofing off staring into the audience and choke. After all, people go to the concerts to see them actually play their stuff live.

[@YellowLightNinja]

To everyone saying "Oh they're sloppy and suck live," they don't. During the VIP meet they said this song was one of their hardest songs to play and that pretty much after they shot the music video that they pretty much never played this song ever. They essentially had to relearn the entire song for this tour. That's why it sounds sloppy. That being said, they were perfect at my show this must've been an off night for them.

@@13_cmi it’s their own problem. Shouldn’t have written something so complicated they can’t even play properly. It’s like Dragon Force, a bunch of freaking guitar noobs play some uncontrolled crazy bullshit which doesn’t even sound 10% similar to the studio version

@@bohdanrohachenko7650 could you try writing something like this and play it live? Yeah didn't think so.

[@bohdanrohachenko7650]

@@13_cmi first of all, they didn't play it, they struggled through the whole thing. Second, what's the point of writing something you can't play? I can easily write some complicated shit in Guitar Pro record it in the studio and then barely play it live. Maybe some deaf people will even consider me a virtuoso like some Herman Li or some other guitar noob.

This sloppy mess is called location and Smartphone, not capable of receiving the full stage sound spectrum at the minimum required level. If you listen carefully and in detail, you should see that they play quite accurately.

They sounded so immature just like beginners except Jason.

[@aidengoff2862]

Well there are a couple of reasons its this sloppy. They are almost always drunk. And every guitarist has bad days especially playing this music.

[@TheManWithTheFryingPan]

more than anything, it's the live sound that makes polyphia sound so weird live. I get that their new stuff has a more twangy sound, but they *need* more gain when they play songs like this, the entire comp falls apart when the instruments don't have as much punch, this is especially clear after scott's solo, it sounds like they forgot to turn their pickups to more than 20% compared to how it sounds in the studio. I'm sure this actually would fix a lot of the issues

[@rokket675]

I think there's too many recorded guitars in the original song to play it nice live

[@pragyannath]

people see the japan live of this it was awesome ... playing this kind of music live is tough ... do not judge them on basis of this shit ..

[@mrtalkative91]

some shows just arent as good as the rest. you cant always expect bands to put on a perfect show. people can be tired sometimes, maybe just getting over being sick, maybe just having a bad day and really not in the mood to perform. could be anything. this was just an off day

[@extirpatebabel]

People should not probably complain about sound quality when it's being recorded by a phone. And sound has nothing to do with evident sloppy performance; let's just face it, lack of proper rehearsals.

[@aixide]

[@LittleJimmyNorton]

I've always said this and stand behind it. Bands like this will never make it in the big time radio play millionaire status, they are too good to relate to the common folk ears. Being to good can be a curse and this is a perfect example.

[@PapaThorn]

I love how Jason just comes out makes them all look terrible lol.

[@Petrucciation1]

If you have a bit knowledge about guitar playing and the stuff from Polyphia, you would not write such a comment. Several parts in "champagne" for instance are not far away from Jasons technical level.

[@dawnoftheshred7757]

These dudes are ALL monster guitarists!! Jason is top notch yes but dont think for 1 second the guys in the band suck.

[@siriusorsomething7431]

@@Petrucciation1 I love polyphia, I think they are amazing and I love their stuff. But here, Jason just slaps em. Sure, champagne is an amazing track and definitely an incredibly difficult song. Tim and Scott are monsters of math rock. But they aren't Jason, he's the god of technical deathcore and a machine on the guitar. Here, he definitely slaps them.

[@Petrucciation1]

@@siriusorsomething7431 My personal opinion is, that Jason is boring as hell, with some exceptions. Yes, from a pure technical point of view, he is on a masterclass level especially with focus on chromatic scaling but he lacks in terms of feeling, arrangement and pacing. I miss the really new aspects in his playing.

[@siriusorsomething7431]

@@Petrucciation1 I really don't get the pacing and arrangement critique. If you look at his time in Chelsea grin (evolve ep especially) and his time with born of osiris he clearly shows all those qualities. Most of the time he definitely doesn't play to evoke emotion, he isn't bb king, but his playing clearly ads an interesting element to the songs and always follows the theme and feeling of the song.

[@numetalinkin]

It's recorded with a phone in a fucking small stage and people are saying they're playing bad smh

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Wow surprisingly, polyphia sounds bad live. Jason is a monster on the other hand. He single handedly overshadowed the whole band here. What a beast.

[@madderhatter1288]

Kinda seams like they spend too much time on their music videos 🤔 definitely not trying to hate. Just my honest opinion. Love this band and hope bigger opportunities come.

[@philfasulo1591]

what amps do they use

[@ewitallday80]

unless my ears are deceiving me, i believe they are using potatoes.

[@therealbillrice8161]

prolly axefx into the house, or axefx with a power amp into a cab.

[@Petrucciation1]

Quite amusing how many "experts" here state this as "horrible" and "sloppy". Yes, this tape(!) doesn't sound clean and overwhelming because it's recorded by a smartphone inside an obviously closed, "difficult" and small location. You can hear Jason quite clean because his PA has a better orientation to the recorder. If you listen exactly and in detail, you see, that their parts are played quite accurately indeed. Never watched all these smartphone bootlegs of other techniqually gifted bands like Dream Theater and Co. that also sometimes sound sloppy although we all know they can handle their instruments!? Polyphia can definitively play their songs very accurately live. Simply look for some better quality tapes on youtube!

[@siriusorsomething7431]

They are quite sloppy here. Sure, the quality may make it sound worse, but that doesn't excuse the wrong notes, dead notes, open string ringing and out of tempo playing. This is quite obvious when you compare their parts with Jason's part. Jason plays an obviously more technical and more advanced part but it sounds cleaner, because he isn't missing notes, he isn't out of tempo and he's not stumbling around on the guitar neck.
