WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Polyphia - Ego Death Reaction

What a crazy emotive track - I love it. subscribe for more!!

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

I was given a bass guitar on my 7th birthday in 1980 and have played ever since. Finding these guys is like a religious experience. No explanation needed for getting emotional from music. The intent of music is to share emotion, and being receptive of that is the most real and respectful thing on the internet. You got a new sub, and I know for you that isn't the point, but It shows my support of real.

[@jleighwolfe]

As someone who is moved to tears by music on a regular basis and often feels so alone in being that way, easy sub.

[@davidsleith7222]

every single reaction video reactor has the same goofy grin on their face when vai appears, i love it lol

[@davidsleith7222]

great reaction, cjeers! yep, music like this cuts clean into your soul, the contrasting styles makes it a fascinating track, basic chords, almost a pop song. henson and rest of polyphia play such a percussive style, all somewhat sticato and to the point, then the GOD of guitar himself appears and bends every single note to the moon and back, such seductive melodies, he could have went proper crazy here, but what he did was was perfect. when vai sent the band his part, they had no idea how to notate it/white it down.

Beautiful. Man, if you haven’t gotten into them, along the lines of next level musicianship, dirty loops are absolutely unbelievable. Their song ‘next to you’ moved me to tears of joy.

[@Gods_Fury101]

goosebumps, then a tear fall from your eyes... i immediately subbed!

[@Cory2340]

ngl man seeing those tears hit me, i can tell you really enjoy music and i love that you found this.

[@winst2000]

I'm not a musician. There was an interview somewhere where Tim says Steve Vai gifted Polyphia a few bars, and Tim and Scott took them, and each took the melody as inspiration and blew them up. Tim led with 3, Scott did 3, and Steve Vai with 3, then the brass played the melody. It was so interesting and fun to watch and listen.

such a masterpiece!! 💜💜 (you don't have to explain anything, it's a great emotional reaction)

[@jerryhill8281]

Dude when this album dropped. Steve Vai's part made me cry as well. Such a great song

[@lucianoalvarezlaies4777]

i felt the same once vais appeared, brought me to tears a magical transition

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

The members are Tim Henson and Scotty Lepage on Lead Guitar, Clay Gober on Bass, and Clay Aeschliman on Drums.

The Trumpeter at the end was from the band Brasstracks. They also feature on the album in a great song called Genesis. There's no video for it, but there is a visualizer for it.

[@robertpetre9378]

Tim Henson learnt that thumb thumping technique from Tosin Abasi from animals as leaders apparently it took him three months to master it

[@blitzofchaosgaming6737]

And to answer your final question, "Nightmare" and "Crush" are my favorites my favorites along with whichever song of theirs I am listening to at the time.

[@HunterLikesSoda]

wow just randomly stumbled across your channel and i love your energy man. you got a new fan!

[@Abaddon231]

[@Dizaster977]

Sometimes they just getcha. One time I was listening to Poly, can't remember which song... might have been their Chino Feat... but regardless, tear ran down my face and I was locked into a video game or something and was like "wtf is happening to me, why am I crying?" lol
