Polyphia with Vai

[littlebadboy]

Interesting, so I thought of sharing!



Didn't notice closely, did Vai do any boomer bends?

 

[Lemonbaby]

Saw it yesterday and while the song is kind of OKish, I found Vai's solo very uninspiring.

I thought it was a nifty solo, but that may be because I'm a huge Vai fan. Polyphia, on the other hand, I don't know how to headband to, or if it's even possible. Still, I check out their content, it's really cutting edge guitar, though not metal.

 

[Louis Cypher]

never listened to Polyphia but I watched it earlier, Steve's solo is great I liked that but the song itself is def not my cup of tea, the musicianship and technical ability is insane but its pretty dull songwise

 

[ArtDecade]

Shortly after filming that video, they told Vai to stop with the boomer bends and that guitar is dead. Vai wept.

 

[RadoncROCKs]

Are they truly boomer bends if done with a tremolo? Inquiring minds want to know

 

[mmr007]

Never seen so much talent combined to produce so much meh

 

[Dumple Stilzkin]

Polyphia gives me ADD.

 

[Mboogie7]

Scott’s tone was the best
Cool to see him play a xyphos
Overall the song was meh
Vai’s part was cool

 

[nightlight]

Hey, you can chinbang to it!

 

[Flappydoodle]

Crazy amount of talent, but the overall product isn't to my taste. It's just too much wanking off, somehow.

Of all the tones and playing, the bass is very nice.

Also I just find the whole music video idea to be super bizarre. Like, the guitars aren't plugged in... so all the weird miming and pretending... why!

 

[Drew]

I respect these guys' technique, but I can't get into this, it feels like a bunch of intros strung together and never really settles into a groove.

I suppose I could say the same abou Vai's music, in general, too, though, and I'll say the same thing for both of them - theyre doing their own thing, sound like no one else, and good for them.

Finally...a Vai solo I can actually play!

 

[neurosis]

I liked it. The bass is slowly becoming my favorite element in this band. It was nice seeing other people apart from Tim get the spotlight.

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

I’m more impressed with the rhythm section. Vai never disappoint, but I think these guys are good, but their rhythm section is better than they are.

Shortly after filming that video, they told Vai to stop with the boomer bends and that guitar is dead. Vai wept.

It's amazing they even knew about Vai since they've never listened to guitar-based music before.

 

[coreysMonster]

Hey when Vai's solo started it actually sounded like a real song and not just Instagram-wanking for once.

 

[Xaios]

Some damn sexy guitars in that video, that's for certain.

 

[Andromalia]

-Ha. Those noobs don't even realise their distorsion pedal is off half of the time.

 

[Esp Griffyn]

I kept waiting for Vai to totally cut loose and he never did. I felt like the song was waiting for a dramatic final flourish that never arrived.
