Not sure what you're trying to say but Polyphia is amazing.

Maybe it's better in person, idk I've never even been to a concert before but yeah live recordings are obviously way worse than the studio recordings. Isn't that true in general though? All I know is their studio stuff is amazing

I file this stuff in the "impressive to watch for a little bit, boring to listen to, respect to the musicians but zero interest in the music" category. I.e. just more guitar wank but at least it's a different flavour to your yngwie malmsteens of yesteryear.

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion but I'll never understand this, my girlfriend is this way too but solely because it doesn't have lyrics. Like how can someone say something like Infected Mushroom is boring just because it doesn't have lyrics? It's crazy to me. Idk why it's boring to you though

I dont dislike it because its instrumental, I dislike it because so much of it is about showing off.

They're really good live. If you're just listening to their newest stuff it's a lot of experimental stuff. But listen to their first 2 albums and they shred hard but also beautifully. Aviator and crush are goats. I

Idk who needs to be told this but it's not guitar wank if that is your base level of skill

Wank implies you are playing stuff beyond your paygrade and probably badly

i like them but i don't have them on a playlist i listen to nearly everyday. their music somewhat fatigues me because of the bass (bass just fucks up my hearing for like a day up to 3 days. this also happens when i listen to like 50 hz or lower test tones so its not that their music is bad or anything). there is prob something wrong with my ears legit. maybe some earwax gets moved around i've always had issues with that despite cleaning them everyday with water. even my last doctor visit said i had a lot of blockage or something like that lol. this was roughly 4 years ago.

anyways i like listening to instrumental music. my preferred genre is noise/experimental/ math rock stuff.

Honest to God, every single one of their songs sounds the same to me. Like, I've listened to some of their stuff and I wouldn't be able to tell you when one song ends and the other begins.

Guitar wank music like this is boring and does not appeal to me. It did when I was in high school learning to play guitar. But Im older and just dont care. Cool that others dig it but its not for me

You do realize that even though he's a faster shredder, Satriani and Vai are both a BILLION times better than him at actual songwriting, right?

Oh that's right, I forgot. You're just a difficulty whore. You don't really CARE about actual song structure.

Silly me. What was I thinking? ^_^

God I haven't heard comments like this since the guitar hero and rock band boards lol

Not that you're wrong granted, that's how I feel about malmsteen and Dragonlance

Where do you stand on Paul Gilbert?

Song structure exists to make the song predictable and tolerable after repeat listening.

This is an even less compelling reason than hers for me tbh, if it sounds good it sounds good.

Interesting, I've never heard a live recording I've enjoyed. Also interested in what you believe is so much better, have examples?

Not a fan of their music and I've heard Tim Henson is a chode.

I like animals as leaders better as an instrumental wank band

I love Animal as Leaders as well. Also a big fan of Intervals if you've heard of them.

I've been more into stuff like Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic lately though

At least they're "rock" music unlike Imagine Dragons. Remember for a time popular Rock music was just fucking 5 Finger Death Punch, Imagine Dragons and Greta Van Fleet?

Although I do kinda prefer Animals as Leaders over Polyphia.

Yeah I've heard that as well. Interviews make him sound incredibly pretentious

Also, does Buckethead count as guitar wank? I fucking love Buckethead

Intervals opened for Chon and BTBAM and honestly stole the show. Their tone was amazing
