Old Guy REACTS to PLINI - "PAPELILLO" | Composers Point of View
With the power of KZbin I have found so many great musicians but instrumental guitar artist, composer, and arranger Plini is without a doubt a lightsaber into the future.

talking about intervals, Intervals also just released an album. Both Plini and Intervals have toured together and do great stuff

[@stephenvaughan2325]

5htp and lock and key are AMAZING.

[@elijah2118]

Speaking of them touring together, I actually got to see them on one of their stops in Houston on my birthday. KILLER set. Try Intervals next!

[@mkbcoolman]

I got the Plintervals t-shirt!! Plini and Aaron opening for Animals as Leaders...jeeeeeeeezus what an amazing show. Even better, Aaron played 2nd guitar during Plini's set, then Plini played 2nd for Aaron. It was all amazing, but 'Libra' kinda stole the show for me.

[@KiraPlaysGuitar]

Not to mention their first album is literally called The Spaces Between.

Plini is a true genius. Even Steve Vai praises him.

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

It's fascinating that Plini is as strong as a songwriter as he is as a guitarist...

[@JKEbeats]

So true I think it was Vai that said that Plini is the future of instrumental guitar music and I have to say I agree, him n 1 or 2 others are definitely leading the charge

Yup, Plini is a cool dude. I got to take him out for a night in my city after a show once. Glad he is getting the recognition he deserves :)

[@user-dj9iu2et3r]

My favorite Plini song. The soft solo section in the middle is just… one of the best things I’ve ever heard.

[@icipher6730]

Love Plini. There's a lot of Allan Holdsworth's composing and guitar technique in his playing, by the way, who is probably my most favorite guitar player of all time.

[@speacialagentbob]

so good. This was my introduction to him. So glad I subbed after the Lateralus reaction.

[@stugeh]

Check out selenium forest and electric sunrise as well as libra by intervals

ANIMALS AS LEADERS! 💪💪🔥

[@MIBROCKZz]

I saw plini live when they supported periphery last year and they are absolutely insane

[@duderserious]

I just discovered Plini earlier this year...and have been listening to him daily. As a guitarist, I'm very inspired! I'll be purchasing a Strandberg very soon! I enjoyed your REACTION! Cheers man

[@rhysjohn3076]

Man you need to check out selenium forest from him, plini is a rabbit hole of great instrumental music!

[@eatingtrees9077]

@8:17 Love your reaction because it has consistently been mine EVERY time I hear this song, I can't even count how many. It is such a subtle little touch, and the lead section would have been great even without it, but it's honestly my favorite part of the song. That little bit is SO good.

[@rhysjohn3076]

Also, another song that will blow your mind is by a band called Ne Obliviscaris with their song 'and plague flowers the kaleidoscope' The song was studied at Sydney conseveratorium of music. The song was introduced to the curriculum by Professor Matthew Hindson (classical composer) the song was introduced as a exemplar in structure, mixing timbres, meters, modes, how to approach virtuosity, sound and noise, extended performance and techniques.

[@sjsphotog]

Plini is the modern day Holdsworth. Love how music. A great modern guitar hero for the new age of guitarists. Love it. Keep it up.

[@HoopyFroodood]

Dude, I love you. It is so cool how you keep expanding your musical repitoire. I hope one day I can be as versitle as you, when music has passed my youthful comprehension of what it used to be. Right now I understand all these bands, but one day I bet, there will be a time when it baffles me. I just hope I can remain as open as you are sir. Kudos. 👍

[@HoopyFroodood]

Also. "Plini, Tarred and Feathered."

[@unsanitizedbabywipes6154]

Im so glad that you expressed what i cant express. I cant analyze this song fully due to being distracted to the song's overwhelming emotion everytime i listen to it.

Find somebody who looks at you the way Key of Geebz looks at Plini playing guitar.

[@tonyrapa-tonyrapa]

I haven't been watching your videos in chronological order, but f*** me - this has just left me speechless. I've heard of Plini but (for whatever reason) I just haven't listened to his stuff yet - until now. This guy most definitely lives up to the hype... this track is super delicious.

[@hiighflyer13]

This was my first time hearing Plini.... wow! Thanks for the introduction. So glad I found your channel and so glad I subscribed! Looking forward to what comes next!

[@xSulky]

Highly recommend checking out 'Pastures' by Plini.

Highly recommend checking everything he's ever made ^^

[@suprchickn7745]

Electric Sunrise is an amazing track as well!

[@krenwregget7667]

Plini is easily my favorite instrumental guitar player. Extremely musical, creative, cheeky and always interesting.

[@itLEAKED]

I would love to hear your take on David Maxim Micic

[@joshgray3360]

Something from Bilo 3.0 or Ego/Eco. Smile or Disorder might break him a little lol.

[@fuel20]

Please react to Plini - I'll tell you someday. I found this band through Rick Beato who did a "What makes this song great" video using their song Electric Sunrise. Also it would be cool to see you and Rick Beato doing some kind of collab someday. For some reason I sense that happening.

[@svenhoek]

A Rick Beato collab would be awesome !

[@emilioguzmanalvarez420]

8:02 LMAO that was my exact reaction to that part hahahahah. I freacking love plini and how he just pulls off this kind of stuff. Always super fresh, classy and unique.

[@qmiller9]

Cinematic, yes! I always fantasized about Plini doing the score to a beautifully shot film. Please consider reacting to Pan on this same album. It has this incredible sax solo that runs into one of Plini's best guitar solos to date, in my opinion. Pastures is another one of his songs that blows my mind and not enough people are talking about it. Thanks for your wonderful content. Enjoy!

[@ugg10video76]

Nice one. Seen Plini twice live, they (or he) are the sort of band that look like they are just happy to be playing in front of an audience, best reaction to an instrumental band I have seen. Couple of others for you to look up - Gojira - Flying Whales (french Eco Metal about astral projection and saving the planet) and Animals as Leaders - Arithmophobia (complex technical Djent). Edit - and another two epics are Periphery - Reptile (Modern progressive metal, long track though with many styles) and Haken - Cockroach King.

[@Easy_Skanking]

I've suggested some AAL and I love Haken. Both fantastic groups!

[@ashleybeall8765]

I absolutely love Plini's music and the end of this song is so fucking bad ass.

[@JoeLackey]

I absolutely love the subtle things they've weaved in and out of this track. Like no one landing on the 1 at 4:17 except for the crash cymbal, then everyone nailing that "and" of 1 immediate after it. You know you're listening to a master when the tiniest detail like that earns the rewind to be listened to again and again.

[@thevoid5117]

Yussss

[@krenwregget7667]

agreed.

[@suprchickn7745]

That quiet middle section has quite a bit of Jeff Beck influence to it. Some of his arrangements remind me a lot of Steve Vai's use of bell-like keyboard parts, especially in his older stuff. Wow, that got dark at the end. Brilliant!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

You're right!

[@blairjohnson4975]

You should react to the Mars Volta. Cassandra Gemini is my favorite track but it’s like 30min. Meccamputecture probably falls in second place and is more reasonable in length. Try it out.

[@danielhorn2322]

I can't seem to get enough of this song. Already listened to it almost 100 times since last week

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

Been loving this album, I've listened to it a couple times this weekend. This song and Pan are probably my favorites. The ending of this song hits so hard, it's crazy, and all of the playing throughout it is incredible. Just an amazing arrangement.

[@tylerandrew1009]

I got goosebumps around 8:45. I knew exactly what was coming (have listened to this album probably fifty times) and your reaction was just amazing!

[@kathyedleman633]

I've heard of him, never listened until now. Really good!! Thanks.

[@christiandecker1939]

Plini is amazing. Another amazing instrumental group is Scale the Summit specifically their song The Great Plains.

Plini’s out of this world, some the best phrasing and chord progressions I’ve ever heard

[@richardrejmer8721]

This is the "Prog Rock" of the 21st Century

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

No, its prog metal. It's a different lineage. Things like mars volta would be more prog rock. The labels aren't super important or anything but when folks go looking for prog rock and hear other bands in line with plini and have their expectations not line up with the music they tend to get really annoying in the comments.

[@pseudoillusion2556]

Plini- Pastures. So sad and beautiful.

[@_nuclearnoodle_5757]

Your reaction to that one cinematic part was priceless. You should react to Veil of Maya- Outsider. You won't regret it

[@Spacecookie77]

Are you talking about at 8:46 ? Bc that part gave me goosebumps.

[@jakethebard]

You absolutely need to do a reaction video to his song Pan. And make sure you listen to the album version. It features an instrument you wouldn't expect.

[@shiznitshnitzel4]

Another one I wouldn't have ever heard if not for being subbed to this channel! Thank you! I love stuff like this! I have a major suggestion for you to check out. Even if you don't do a reaction (because I'm sure you get like a billion requests lol) - listen to Wave of Synergy by Andy James and Angel Vivaldi. It will blow your mind. Anyway, thanks for being you brother

[@Maru-ej9tu]

Genius from yourself to compare his (in my opinion Flamenco Technique roots) style with a saxophone player. I am BIIIIIIIIG Plini fan, and i never came up with it. Chapeau Senpai!!!! ... Plus, im am pretty sure about one thing that makes Plinis play so special is, how he mastered the art of pressure he is bringing to the Fretboard for EVERY SINGLE NOTE he is hitting. (excuse some grammar mistakes :)

[@johnseward2934]

Wow indeed. Super impressive emotive and cerebral playing. Need to check out more of his music.

[@Jaymzmiller]

I'd heard of but never listened to Plini and jeeeezus crepes that was impressive. That's a guy who paid attention in music theory classes! Cool intervals and chord voicings, polyrythms and meter changes, multiple modes and playing techniques.. crikey. Great reaction once again man, malaho!

[@attheveryend]

ahhh you picked the same favorite PLINI track as me. Cascade. In that case I'ma recommend you look at Animals As Leaders. It doesn't really matter what track you pick, but if you need a suggestion, maybe the very first is a good place to start: Tempting TIme.

When you said the word INTERVALS around the 5minute mark, i thought you were gonna do a comparison to Aaron Marshall of the band Intervals, another prog rock instrumental guitarist. Which, by the way I think you should do a reaction video to one of his songs, By Far and Away from the album The Way Forward! For me, Intervals provides that nice medium level inbetween the good songwriting of Plini and the groovy poppy jams of Polyphia. Thanks!

That heavy ending really seems to me like a hi-fi homage to AOTKPTA- The Locust.

[@untetheredtruth]

You got to do Impulse voices from the same album this song came from. Best song on the album in my opinion.

[@lucasgeiser8036]

Very interesting comparsion about the voicing thing (and the reverence to Tool). I think this is also a thing what makes prog stuff so intensive and interisting. Same with Danny Carey tuning his drums in a way it fits the d-tuning of the guitar and bass. The overall sound at the beginning of this song reminded me of Haken, a prog metal band. Give it a listen if you want to. Your opinion on the song "Cockroach King" would be very interesting (I recommend audio version for the solos ;) )

[@jromann84]

You should definitely react to Plini - Perfume. That's another hell of a ride, quite mysterious in a sense, with a particularly subtle and interesting melodic complexity!
