I'm most impressed with the bassist. With everything happening around him he still found a way to shine through.

[@Dgow23]

Back when I discovered their earlier work, Clay’s style and voicing stood out to me. He’s a incredible player and more than holds his own in a group of virtuoso musicians which is just so hard to do.

[@Appa.Yip-Yip]

I wish he do the headbang while live recording 😂

[@srsbsns7673]

I see a lot of people demanding Polyphia pick up Charles Berthoud and all I can think is... that might be a cool collaboration at some point, but Polyphia already has their perfect bassist. Clay G is fantastic, and he is just *so* locked in with Clay A. He plays exactly the right notes and nothing more, and he plays them at exactly the right time. He gets moments to shine, but more flexing is not necessarily more better. What I like most about Polyphia is that they avoid the *excessive* wankery you see with many other noodly guitar prodigies for the most part. They show off, sure, and they write complex music, but it's not all noodles all the time. Clay is the perfect distillation of that ethos - he could wank with the best of them but he doesn't because it wouldn't make the music better.

[@JustWezz]

@@srsbsns7673 Very well said.

[@Andymosity]

They compose with that in mind a lot. Their guitar riffs have a ton of breaks, which lets the drummer take over with fills. Bass does the same with hitting roots and specific notes that the guitarists aren't hitting to create certain chords (lots of inversions) They're super talented and meticulously write each note with each member in mind. Actual gods.

[@toybonniesfm]

@@Phantombuick1 Most of it is pretentious crap, trying WAY to hard to be overly complicated and gimmicky. Doing way too much. I prefer a great melody and pocket. This song is better than a lot of their other stuff, but its still really not my preference. I can appreciate the skill involved, but there is more to music for me than just how many gimmicky techniques you can cram into one run. It remind me a lot of Charles Berthoud. SUPER talented bassist. But he is another one that at times just tries WAY too hard to be overly complicated and cram every technique in the book in one sequence and it just takes away from what could be a great song/melody if he just cut out all the BS.

[@TheSamuraiApocalypse]

I know this is subjective, but the same could be said for a lot of bands. It just seems to be the standard created by our generation through the accessibility of the internet and ease of home recording setups (get ready to work your ass off if you don't have a convenient pile of money laying around). With the oversaturation it's becoming increasingly important to standout and create your own brand of music. That's not even mentioning the marketing side of music as much as one may hate to admit it. The musician also has to be marketable, because not everybody (speaking for myself) falls in line with current trends. I never have, never will, but I guess you just have to embrace your strengths and learn how to adapt. Pointless rant aside, not trying to take away from what you said, I completely agree. The main take away for someone like me is not only the saucy aspect of their music, but how do you take what they do and inject it into your own secret sauce. That's all

​@GymBum I'll admit I'm a poindexter when it comes to music and a lot of things. I'm not trying to detract from the authenticity of the music. I'm just being honest. I might actually get a little recognition if I was more willing to put myself out there and risk failure. One of the hardest parts for me is being more open with other people. It doesn't work well for building friendships through music and life in general. I'm not the worst, but I've had my moments. I don't have natural confidence, I'm hard on myself, and I don't like a lot of attention unless there's a guitar in my hands. You get what you give, and if you give a lot, you'll be successful as long as you learn from your mistakes and never give up. That's all

The stunning and beautiful unison between Tim and Scott... *chef's kiss* I would wager there is nothing else in life that could make two humans move so intricately and precisely together as with music. Loving the black vs. white dichotomy and that Tim's guitar appears to be the extension of his body we know it is.

[@michaeltremblay8935]

You are all killing it... But Scott is on fire here !!!

[@Garrettleestone]

You guys should be more of these band play throughs, super cool!!

[@stickman55100]

Totally astonishing how great everyone is together and individually! Brilliant composing and arranging.

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

Epic, this one is definitely growing on me.

[@dadgamingandguitars7175]

Literally the most relaxing music I’ve ever listened too. Thank you for what you all do. Musical genius’s.

[@m3m3sis]

As a guitarist i must give it to these guys, they're amazing both together and solo. Props to the drummer.

[@zubrhero5270]

Fuck that bass player though, amirite? 🤣 I'm joking, it's just funny you mentioned 3 out of 4 members.

[@ZacharyRodriguez]

So much easier to watch and enjoy the musicianship in this kind of setting vs an edited music video. Just love watching them get at it.

[@kaneaikua955]

It’s Tim’s one note tremolo drop at 1:55 Sometimes it’s a scale of notes , vocal, chorus, harmony , bass, drums At times it it’s just one note,

[@chrisjlee2013]

The bass lines are what makes polyphia more unique honestly

[@sypwer]

I mean it isn't *the* thing but it def adds a lot

[@chrisjlee2013]

@@sypwer aside from Tim henson’s particular style, any other guitar instrumental band can achieve the same thing. Majority of them do not have a bass player who stands out. That’s what I meant by unique

[@Fern.Harthrix]

I agree.Gober is awesome! A lot of bands have good bassists and it does add body to their songs, but I just love how hard it pops here.

[@DavePilotCH47]

Damn lads!! That was incredible. I’ve never heard your music before and I’m just blown away.

[@jonathanhale8388]

How many bands can record ALL TOGETHER?!!! These guys are frikkin skilled!

[@blablabla2076]

Starting @2:18 is just an insane run of guitar work. Well played.

[@emersonmayeaux2482]

Absolutely stunning performance. Precision personified. They make everything so smooth and seemless even with all the technicality involved.

[@RaulRieraS]

Wow that bass sounds sick! Gonna need to check those atk models. Didn't imagine they had such deep awesome tone ❤️

[@danmcalester1716]

Holy shit 😳 I hope to see more band playthroughs, this is just incredible!

[@eddyemlj8482]

My man Clay Gober. I like ur style. All u guys are an inspiration for me.

[@garryroberts5106]

Never heard of these guys until recently … 😮 They are just unbelievable !!! Probably the most talent in a room ever !!!!!!

[@ripdoinksinamish]

I love the hook in this song so much

[@carazy123_]

I really like watching guitarists’ hands move in sync when they’re on the same parts

[@ernieboy3000]

OH MY FUCKIN GOD, THE BASS, SCOTT, TIM, CLAY AND CLAY, I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW FAST I CLICKED, I LOVE YOU

[@carlchameleon9847]

"the bass" and "clay" are separate entities lol

[@ernieboy3000]

@@carlchameleon9847 i dont know if thats a bad thing or not, but all i know is that i am going to loop this for the rest of the day

[@TheDantheman12121]

Love Polyphia, to me it feels like someone finally coming along and doing something original with guitars.

[@junky258]

It's actually really nice hearing the drums with less processing on them.
