NAMM Show 2020 | Plini Performing at the Neural DSP Booth

[@nicanuva]

That's the same red beanie dude from the Tosin video lmao

[@yusrikarim5511]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS! Bhahahaha

[@rohanahlawat5809]

That's Ando san of Incipience, also a phenomenal guitarist.

[@kryptomiadeathmetalizer8628]

haha!

[@SonofZug9]

Big up ando San

[@Kessellish]

Should make a new genre 'Dreamcore' which Plini belongs in.

[@drewgunner14]

Flying in a blue dream

[@kaykaleli]

This needs to be a thing immediately!

[@sayakgupta4207]

this is his style of playing .. whats it called ?

[@Zakkday]

right up there with scale the summit

[@chitarra0302]

Jarkess I think cloudkicker could be in that genre. I mean I always thought of cloudkicker as some sort of like trancy type of metal not because it sounds like “trance” music but because it can put you in a trance because it’s mesmerizing lol it’s hard to describe but I think you described what I was thinking pretty well with that one. I think the same thing when I listen to Plini. Especially on selenium forest.

[@DavidDiMuzio]

This guy composes so beautifully. 🤘🖤🤘

[@softpool1286]

Ando San! He makes guitar music in a similar genre/feeling/style!

[@devasyavlog8850]

Its a decade song maybe

[@leejlogan]

0:58 Thank you....I thought I was going to be watching Plini's arse for the whole video 👍

[@_ANUJ__]

just when i was about to click away i read your comment and ended up watching the whole video

[@tobyhill7322]

Or that guy in the denim jacket chewing gum 😂😂

[@acrowsnestview6621]

Same hahahahaha

[@iurigrang]

Clicked for the music, stayed for the ass

[@jon.yama-otoko]

@@tobyhill7322 He's awesome though :p

[@johanetsondragon]

This dude is THE dude

[@FujinWater]

@jajajah86 So does Harry Miree.

[@Feverdream7777]

@jajajah86 hmm...the dude abides.

[@ClarkAfterDark1111]

This dude saw him live last week..and he was the truth

[@dylanedwards2056]

It's cool that he still performs this one considering it was one of his earliest singles. It must hold a special place in his heart. And every Plini track holds a special place in my heart haha. Anyone else going to John Petrucci's guitar universe this year? I'm so happy he's going to be there.

[@markg2861]

Dylan Edwards I wish I had the funds to go

[@symphx1]

yep going!

[@jimifriedman18]

This is actually a redone version. I don't think he's released it yet.

[@chrisvalenzuela7911]

Is that guitar universe thing even still happening?

[@nostalcholy]

@@chrisvalenzuela7911 Next year

[@alexocimad8990]

Even his tone sounds Australian!! Lol. Best guitarist ever!!!

[@juggernautproduktion]

@@Grading_GOA hahaha dude I literally spat my coffee out hahaha, great comment!

[@juggernautproduktion]

Plini boy rocks it hey. He’s up there as one of my fave’s. I’d have to put tosin abasi out in front though but only slightly. And based off of emotive creativity and progressive chord structures and arrangements. I feel tosin is more creative I think. But plini has this vai element to him I reckon. His bends and ‘talking’ with the stecato notes etc remind me of vai. But it’s all opinion. And it’s all good!

[@benzakonium]

I just don't understand people that get a chance to see such an amazing player UP CLOSE AND LIVE and then watch the whole performance on their fucking phones! Madness.

[@matthewocallaghan3062]

Shout out tn Ando San on the side enjoying some plini!!

[@stevejames2198]

4:02 neck-thru reveal of new Plini model..!! Must also be featuring the new signature pickups Ola mentioned at NAMM..!! :)

[@kevindavid37]

I fucking love this man. Always looks like he just woke up and is just happy to play his guitar again.

[@daroanvimusen]

it's like a modern Steve Vai, with more freshness, luminosity and well-dosed complexity

[@pedroabdala7232]

I agree, his melodic style sounds like it has some definite Steve Vai influence, but obviously with a very modern twist.

[@briandennehy6380]

Nicely put

[@GrandpaWazi]

Vai had very positive things to say about Plini

[@jakemf1]

Daroan Vimusen listen to more Vai o OK f you can’t hear the complexity it’s all there

[@hazardeur]

while very good, this guy got nothing on vai dude, nothing.

[@Jibosau]

The amount of smiles seen surrounding that stage, power of the Plini.

[@1sheldon]

Miss plintervals

[@tigerstripe3820]

Misundestanding 😥

[@whatmattersmarshall]

Did something actually like, happen between them? That would bum me out

[@metalheadblues]

@@whatmattersmarshall there schedules probably didn't line-up. Guessing they are bro's still.

[@stevehoward210]

This guy is my new favorite. So melodic. That lick at 2:34-2:48 is fantastic.

[@Adamovskyi_]

classic gilbert stuff, sounds good almost always

[@MattGregoryGuitar]

What a killer tune this is! Never really checked out Plini before - can't wait to explore his music, I love this

[@wilmansuescunjr]

Plini have the talent to put smiles everywhere with his music!

[@chrispile3878]

The main riff of this tune recalls "On the loose" by Saga.... back in the 80's.

[@andiploi]

absolutely

[@secretstorymusic]

The dude fcking slays. Can't wait for 2/14 in Charlotte. Really wish D'addario put the performance with Lari up.

[@secretstorymusic]

@@chouzetsu8856 Yeah dude....that was a helluva night. Got to see my spirit animal play and watch the goons crowd surf during periphery.

[@leefowler3240]

Simply amazing the level of creativity out of this guy.

[@dhirajahlawat6551]

Lee Fowler he is a prog musician

[@Rockinoutman]

Absolutely amazing and innovative guitar sounds and approach! Plini and his band have a big amazing future ahead of them! We got tickets for 2023 hopefully you guys also! Cheers 😉👍🏻🎸🙏🏻

[@obnoxious2909]

ANDO SAN IN THE BACKGROUND

[@randomnetwork6359]

He’s in the tosin one too

[@nichaju1]

Playing live at the NAMM, with such a background noise, and doing it with such a mastery is just awesome. Incredible player.

[@mickelito2125]

0:42 the guy at the left feels the melodies (8)(8)

[@jsabo1929]

imagine expressing this much emotion through music and never once making a weird face while playing

[@Ey3OnYouN00B]

You know you're doing something right when every genre has artists who rip off of you. Even if they publicly apologised or not

[@stephensmith6974]

Why the hell are people watching this performance thru their phones? Appreciate the talent that's 3 feet in front of you and EXPERIENCE it! Fantasic playing!

[@dayuhanspace]

this guy has amazing phrasing skills

[@tiaanengelbrecht]

I just keep hearing that guy scream "FUCK YEAH PLINI" from the HAIL STAN vlog the other day every time I see something new from Plini

[@fontaoemanuel]

Bestia total genio! Lo mejor del metal progresivo en años por lejos! Que maestro cómo compone!

[@gipsyavenger9829]

DUDE IS OTHER-WORDLY. Snack worthy

[@lonewanderer2894]

Is there someone in front of me playing guitar? I can't tell.. wait, let me check my phone.. yes, there he is! Wow, such an amazing experience! My screen really blew me away. Look at those fabulous angles i got! I'll really appreciate that later during my one or two viewings before i forget about it.

[@gyberic]

Yeah, pretty gross

[@thekramer1097]

Hey look I found the boomer. Should I make a wish?

[@Crusader1099]

This is the guy to call if Dream Theater needs a short notice stand by, in case Petrucci falls sick or whatever .

[@lukecooper9192]

Dave Ssss G3 last year in Texas Petrucci had the flu. He looked pale and faint. He absolutely destroyed beyond anything I’ve ever seen or just about heard, stumbled off the stage probably to puke after his set, came back on for the g3 jam and was still astonishing. It was like Michael Jordan’s playoff performance with the flu but on a guitar somehow. All this to say, Petrucci doesn’t sit out even when he is sick.

[@josedavidlagos]

Wow😱, what an amazing sound and tone! Super melodic🎸🔥🤘

[@thedutchdjentleman]

Love Patrick Hunter just chillin in the back

[@leetattoo1976]

Plini is a class act!

[@danielsgrunge]

so clean

[@Salvo100]

I hear shades of Eric Johnson, Bireli Lagrene, Tosin Abasi and then some, he's supernatural and otherworldy.

[@MeTuLHeD]

Plini has Paul Gilbert hands! What a great song by a great player. Thanks for sharing.

[@craigharrison5406]

This guy definately grew up on some Vai and Petrucci

[@daeerion]

Did I just spy a new neckthrough Plini sig?! :O

[@atithesnail]

calmest guitar player ever

[@robertclarkguitar]

Seriously sounds like my son. Both love Pertrucci. It shows. Hahah

[@brianboucher4248]

God, this guy... I'm in awe...

[@ChuloDavidcito]

Completely relaxed, playing all that impossible stuff. Fun huge hands, too! Just astounding! 🖐

[@adamwolfgram9507]

Oh, hey red hat guy! Saw you over at the Tosin show too.

[@mpk6664]

That's ando san. He has a band similar to AAL and Plini.

[@seankropaczewski1791]

Wheeew 2020 Yeah!

[@mikelliteras397]

How do you stand still while playing this

[@devinwright131]

It's like Dream Theatre but in the year 3000 lol

[@caryverhalen]

A killer tune! Great intro to song and of course ending as well.

[@troyharrell622]

Crazy good

[@toplisted8977]

Best version of Atlas. Love Plini

[@miniDroiDs]

I'm just following the guy with the red hat through all the Namm Videos

[@sebasguitar132]

1:33 It remind me of Glasgow Kiss by John Petrucci

[@aAwaysNice]

thank god i wasnt the only one

[@Antoine_chedid]

Absolutely man !!

[@jw-yo5lp]

[@vette6600]

Denim jacket man is enjoying that video he’s recording. Bet it almost seems as if he’s right there standing in front of Plini

[@johnreeves6621]

Kevin Bartosiewicz his eyes are on Plini. What’s wrong with taking a video?

awesome...effortless...

[@chrislazz5632]

1:16-1:39 Now thats just beautiful

[@KP-tx3cv]

The amount of vertical filming going on in that crowd is fucking unsettling.

Masterful.

Plini so cool and handsome ❤️🔥🙏

[@AyushmantBharadwaj]

My man Ando San vibin' all round

[@lancejasper7708]

Awesome

[@christclinger6540]

Plini is the man!! But for some reason I find this video disturbing in regards to how intimate this show is. It’s kinda weird to me. I love concerts. This is like the red light district but for music.

[@mikebrown9925]

Best modern guitarist

[@qanderson]

that beanie dude is everywhere

[@nikolamilunovic2932]

LEGEND!!

[@youssefhamdouch6514]

The smartest shredder

Someone has been hanging out with Tosin

[@genieproxx]

very nice music!

[@thejonnz4140]

I am not sure who his main influences were growing up, but I can hear a lot of Steve Vai in his phrasing and runs

[@amarwaha]

God he is good!

[@Singlehand_Music]

very, very tasty playing ... respect

[@keyough]

Fucking talent right there

[@joedamore7653]

Ah, Plini going retro lol

[@riforik2704]

same dude in the red beanie from the abasi 2020 vid 👍

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Phones everywhere, people still enjoying the moment. ( I get so frustrated when (older) people say something against phones and blabla not enjoying the moment and stuff. It's simply not true)

[@Kabz8]

Frame up your shot. Start recording. And use your eyeballs while the camera captures the moment. Easy!

[@minimoogle3335]

this is a different setting compared to concerts.. concert goers are the annoying one lifting their phones up as if noone is watching behind them.. kinda ironic when you went to a concert just to record and watch it on your phone later on..

[@jakemf1]

Fabian Van Der Elst stop

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

@@minimoogle3335 you got a point there, to be fair. :)

[@georgerudinsky489]

Fantastic modern harmonics with straight face of genius playing the instrument. Plini rhythmic harmonic modern guitar genius. And on other hand robots watching their phones, just human disgrace of obvious disrespect to any hard working musician.
