A couple of years ago i would also have judged his looks and behaviour. Now i really admire his openess to express himself. I was stuck in the 'old school' metal vibe for so long...now i realise all these great modern musicians that want to push music further. And btw his has great skills, he could show up on an elephant with golden armor and fireworks, and yet his playing would shock us more.

Absolutely in the same boat as you mate!

I don’t think too many people understand and appreciate what Tim and Polyphia are doing for music. They have reinvented the “virtuoso” style of instrumental music and are leaps and bounds the best on the planet. I absolutely love these guys.

Exactly this. It's sad, that no one gets that. I'd assume, that they all think "Oh he's a young man, so it must be him having an inflated ego!" I mean how can you take his "ego" seriously, when he says stuff like "Sounds like baloney. I assure you it's not."

[@MuhanMado]

The level of technical proficiency he has with a guitar and musical concepts in general at such a young age BLOWS my fucking mind. I'm a few years older than him and I can't fathom how someone can be this good so early on. So glad I got into polyphia years ago.

[@musicdev]
