[@TankTheTech]

Thanks man!

but this song is written in 4/4...

@@DurealzForReal Yup. 4/4 straight blues basically . . . Doesn't make it ANY less Awesome! Love this band and this piece. Thanx Tank.

[@shanebywater6628]

sick but this ain't math

[@trulydumb506]

They used to tour with a math band (chon) but I don't think poly has ever written in anything outside of 4/4 (as someone else pointed out) they're however hyper technical and employ some really rad techniques.

Dont compare him to Jimi hendrix. Its an insult for Jimi

Both Tim and Scott have thier own Ibanez models. Both are AZ models Tim's is the THBB10 & Scott is the SLM 10.

[@Velocsity]

Tims looks so clean. Ima buy it Christmas for myself aha

[@CptShiba]

On the subject of Animals as Leaders, Tim's recently gotten into the slapping technique and Tosin Abasi was the one who taught him. His solo in Unprocessed's "Real" is really cool! Also, if you look into their older stuff, you'll get a lot of the heavier "metal" stuff you probably were expecting, but starting with The Most Hated EP, they've been transitioning more into this style. My personal favorites are Goose, The Worst (also Tim's producer name!), and 40 oz.

[@jericosalamagos6843]

Ah yes. A musician that appreciates the BASS. I approve

[@Alienem8]

I usually don't really like instrumental music, but this has been on repeat the whole day. Get goosebumps every time the first guitarist starts to play!

[@llewellynbosman3288]

Yo Tank not sure if you know yet but Tim and Scott (guitarists) also have their own signature Ibanez models now with their own signature DiMarzio pickups. Incredible talent.

[@TankTheTech]

I saw that while I was researching stuff for this video. Super sick!

[@NoThumb]

The tone Tim Has on Rich Kids is super cool. I'd never heard a vocoder on a guitar before.

[@mattthompson5908]

Their song O.D. is really interesting as well

[@thatcanadiannorman8690]

O.D. is probably my second favourite off of NLND right after G.O.A.T

[@aaronwilley9744]

The tone in that guitar work blows my mind. Layered harmonics always catch my attention! Amazing stuff

[@MaskedNozza]

Glad you enjoyed it. I just found them recently and I've heard this song a bunch. Something I noticed just now is the use of silence in the song was very well considered for punctuating between different parts of the song

[@zetecfreak]

Dude love the presentation. The content is executed well and the pauses or comments help the experience where most stop to mi h or have to much bs. Keep this 🆙

Can't wait for this one. They are musical geniuses. My recommendations : Fit for a king - breaking the mirror Erra - eye of god Wage war - who I am I prevail - bow down And for something completely different : The Hu - wolf totem Keep it up man!

[@axcelarellano23]

Damn bro, you're one of the best reaction channels that I've seen so far cause, not only you know what are you talking about with that "tank facts" also your reaction looks so authentic and not over exaggerated as other guys doing this kind of stuff (not hating on other channels their work needs to be recognized as well, but some are kind of cringey) Keep going bruh

[@TankTheTech]

Much love! Thanks for the kind word!

[@Boerke]

Polyphia is awesome! They have such a groove factor. 👍🤘

[@shanecollins4800]

Ironically, my favorite song by them is called "the worst". Super groovy and the guitar tone is tasty af

[@ariq.ardharaja]

one of my favourite riffs is the worst

[@ryans8907]

OD is my favorite song by them. A little heavier and a really trippy looking video

[@BaconNationChannel]

Davie504 has actually just recently did a challenge and it was Tim Henson challenging him to do this song but the guitar part on bass.

[@nahuelnunin]

Tim Henson didn't challenge him, it was just a fan

[@In_Conclusion]

Tim didn’t submit that as a challenge, it was him just playing the opening to Goat, but someone sent that to Davie asking him to play it. I can understand how you got that messed up tho.

[@zelddan]

Not sure whether henson challenged him but he nailed it. Legend.

[@newberryle19]

I was hooked on this video , as soon as I heard Animals as leaders in the background. Tosin and Tim both have made Instrumetal my go to genre.

[@daniellawson1371]

Loved the reaction. Thanks for keeping it clean 👍

[@juliettemcgee9055]

Yaasss for the fast chordal tapping and harmonics! The mixing here is pretty insane and they absolutely crush it live. This was the opening song when I went to their show last year. Something new to add in to the instrumental jamming playlist, Sakura by Within Destruction feat. Jason Richardson just released a week ago. Prepare for the new wave of kawaiicore.

[@TankTheTech]

🤘🤘🤘

[@everett880]

Sakura came in as a surprise to me like an ultra-rare Pokemon. Probably because I'm used to the heavier side of Within Destruction. But I really enjoyed it. Yokai with Crystal Lake's Ryo has been my fav from their new album ✊

Yas , OD , Look but don't touch and Nasty are all good tunes by them

[@butryniplz7247]

Everyone always recommends G.O.A.T., not that it isn't good but I've always been a lot more fond of O.D.. The pace and style is so badass, always cool seeing someone's first reaction to anything Polyphia either way. Cheers!

[@seanmiller7889]

I've watched many reaction videos and what makes yours really stand out is your rig rundown and extra info like age and hometown. I will be watching your other reactions because of this. 🤘

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton!

[@srhiers29]

I've got to recommend Sokoninaru again here. They've got some musical similarities to these guys, but are very different in their own unique ways as well. If you like this, you'll almost assuredly like Sokoninaru. "Complicated System" is probably the most similar to this song. Though, "Tenohira de Odoru", "Gou Ni Myo", and "Re:program" are probably more indicative of their overall style.

[@seanh7585]

Heard this plenty, JUST noticed that during the bass solo, the drumming fades away into the bass guitar work. Trippy bit of role-reversal!

[@Bellathor]

Also, if you want some awesome instrumentals -> Plini is what you gotta listen to. Plini - "Selenium Forest" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5exmXeVobVkfJY or if you want something with a video Plini - "Every Piece Matters" - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJjKg3mvi7qckKM

Great Band and enjoyed watching your reaction. Your tank facts were fun and interesting as always. See you on discord, peace out man!

[@froshambo]

I'd love to see a reaction to Oceans of Slumber. They're a band from Houston that plays doom metal, death metal, and what I like to call "soul metal". Check out stuff from their upcoming album like "To the Sea" or "The Adorned Fathomless Creation", or older works such as "This Road" (the studio video is awesome) and "The Decay of Disregard". Love the channel, keep up the great reactions!

[@preachey]

"look but don't touch" was a single they released on April Fools, and you could give that a go. It's an... uhh... it's an experience.

[@JWLuiza]

Great energy friend!

[@Boomer22z]

The whole album is sooo good! No vocals, words would distract you from the amazing playing

[@davidberkowitz3363]

Actually, they are a local project here in Dallas. I believe they formed whilst all still attending Plano East High School. I know for several years they did clubs around here (I've personally seen them I think 4 times) and had to accept the ol' Xs on the hands.

[@szchietzmane6436]

Besides Jason Richardson Polyphia also featured Chon guitarists (Mario Camarena and Erick Hansel), Ichika Nito, Yvette Young, Cuco, and Mateus Asato on their latest album

[@usuallyclueless4477]

Yeah he used the AZ in this video. Nowadays he uses the Ibanez THBB10 Tim Henson Signature model. He also has an 8 string version of that which I believe is not on sale.

[@skildude]

They are surprisingly for Dallas Texas. Been around for 10 years now and I never heard of them until recently. anything from Devin Townsends Retinal Circus concert. Glory would be my pick

[@BraceDeville]

I also had someone tell me to check Polyphia out. I pretty much had the same reaction at the end where I got so lost in the skills and techniques that the song ended before I realized they didn't have any vocals.

[@Shiroar]

I would LOVE to see you react to Sokoninaru! I suggest Gou Ni Moyu, Tenohira De Odoru, and their new song Lament Moment from the upcoming album. Japanese prog rock and it’s just beautifully mind blowing.

Most of Polyphia's stuff slaps! Chon would also be a band to check out for more instrumental bands! But for something less heavy the new Foxy Shazam music video Dreamer is worth a watch! And for the heavy check out Scumprophet by Hollow Prophet and Scumfuck!

[@FrancescoTakesItEasy]

Last show I went to before 'Rona hit Germany was a Polyphia show in late February 2020. It was (for lack of a better word) sick.

[@esaedvik]

Check out TesseracT. They recently did a "live in the lockdown" which is 4 songs played in different locations and even countries and spliced together. Maybe pick out "King" from that. They also have an older live studio thing with their previous vocalist. It's a 3 song 15min blast called 'Of Matter'.

Some new music you might like to check out is a Rock Band from Monterrey MX - The Warning (Now signed with Lava Records) This impressive trio of sisters - Daniela 20 (guitar, piano and vocals), Paulina 18 (drums, piano and vocals), and Alejandra 15 (bass, piano and vocals), have elaborate musical affinities. They have participated in some of the most important rock festivals in Mexico such as Vive Latino, Hell & Heaven, Mother of All, Pal Norte, Force Fest and Rock al Parque in Colombia. They have also opened for Def Leopard (2 nights) & The Killers (2 nights) It is almost impossible to recommend just one song, So here is a link to their YT playlist page kzbin.infoplaylists Their albums XXI Century Blood (2017) & Queen of the Murder Scene (Rock Novel) (2018) are simply incredible considering the age they were when they wrote the albums Here are some definite listens from their live Queen Of The Murder Scene concert Dust to Dust kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipask3puo9CCn7c Ugh kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3m4q2yah5iarck Dull Knives kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqWQm4GNZshkipI Red Hands Never Fade kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWK7ZHWurbqCeM0 QOTMS kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXmxYWCXp92mrpY Check them out.

Awesome reaction again. Luckily I own the entire Polyphia discography \o/ No clue about Meinl, but Tama and Ibanez are from the same main company Hoshino Gakki, so technically Tama drums are Ibanez too (and vice versa) 😂

[@fajaradi1223]

Kinda doubt that. Sony Pictures, Sony Music, Sony Playstation, works almost independently from each other even if they all under Sony. I believe Ibanez and Tama got almost nothing to do with each other. No Ibanez guitar and Tama drums bundled together on a discounted price.

[@adrianojameson629]

@@fajaradi1223 there is a difference between what you believe and what is fact. Tama and Ibanez are from Hoshino Gakki, period. I rarely do this, but for you I'll do an exception: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoshino_Gakki

[@fajaradi1223]

@@adrianojameson629 You missed my explanation. As a comparison ( again ) : Sony PlayStation, Sony Experia, Sony Music, Sony Electronics, Sony Pictures they all are brands under Sony. But they works independently from each other. They don't sell they product together or in compliment with each other. They develop and maintain their own product, and got nothing to do with another brands under Sony name. So does with Ibanez and Tama. They got nothing to do with each other, even if they have the same parent company. When Ibanez need some employees, they can't just take Tama's workers and vice versa. When Tama need an extra warehouse for material stock, they can't borrow Ibanez unused warehouse as they please. You'll never see a Tama product bundled together with Ibanez guitars. So how does this explain that Ibanez and Tama is the same? When they don't share workers, materials, resources, financing, RnD, etc, etc?
