My favorite guitarist of all time, hands down. I love u Tim Henson. That is all.

[@joeyg2781]

Agreed. Their music hits like no other. Soo much emotion and power in it. I love all their albums. Each one is kinda different in its own way and they are all sooo good

[@LinZi0507]

Same here

[@ilikeyacutg854]

Scott is pretty fucking good too. Tim is a beast but so is Scott. I prefer their older stuff that was more metal and both of them had some fantastic solos. So much respect for both of them crazy fuckers.

[@jaykay6340]

I hâte Tim Henson. He makes this shit look so easy. So smooth. Eff you Tim.

[@iamdaveandhaveaniceday2651]

Never agreed with a sentence more in my life

[@JoeyMarkeyDrums]

I'm a drummer, but i respect you so much as a musician. You are not afraid to think outside of the box, and be as creative as you want. You make music that is pure art, with natural talent and practice. You truly inspire me to better myself everyday, keep doing what you're doing Tim.

@@jasonabraham7673 don't need a second jimmy but the fact that dudes like Tim are taking what Jimmy started and innovating on it is worthy of its own level of praise Imo (also I'd argue Jimmy laid the blueprint while dudes like Tim are taking it to a completely different level that even Jimmy himself would acknowledge as amazing so there's that)

This makes me think of walking through an underground forest of mushrooms that produce their own bioluminescence. Crystals of all sizes reflect the light. The sounds of water can be heard. Creatures of unknown origin live here. Oh, and you gotta be like, at least level 60 before you reach this area.

Had to come back n re-watch this. Renaissance has been on loop at home n the vibe is so chilled, Bittersweet sits so well. Love both versions

[@coltonhusher3876]

Ah, is this the video Tim references in his latest video "Rebirth"? Still such a beautiful piece. Amazing to see that he is able to add to something so complete already, yet make it sound fuller.

[@IAmtheGodOfWar2]

No this is just Bittersweet there’s a video he posted 3 years ago called Old Lost Demo that’s it

Hey Tim! My name is Joey and I am from the Chicago area. I have to admit.. I came across Polyphia about a month ago and I have to admit that I am amazed by what you guys do. Since day one of hearing you guys, it's been full days and nights of hearing this and many more over and over again. I definitely get the chills while hearing you guys shred and simply just make beautiful music.. no words needed. I'm not sure sure if you'll see this or not, but if you do, I'd just like to personally thank you for standing out so much, that it's pretty much all I listen to now. Your songs make me happy! My one year old daughter even digs it man. I find her bopping her head to Polyphia. :) I'm very thankful that I have discovered my new favorite sounds! I hope to be that damn good someday. :p Thanks Tim and have a good time over seas!
