How awesome is this? Steve Vai joins Polyphja! I’ve never seen Polyphia until today! What a badass band!!! Thank you to my donor (Adam) for requesting this! Beautiful song!!!
Thought you would like this since you are open to ALL genres of good music both new and old. Your reaction choices are impeccable and well done. Great presentation from a special person. Made me feel happy to share this with you.
If you want more songs to react to there’s some recents ones like playing god and abc or if you want to see song thing a bit older there’s euphoria and goat. Polyphia is a super cool band.
FYI ego death is something you experience (if lucky enough) during a very powerful psychedelic trip. The lyrics would be out of this world! if such lyrics existed.
I saw Polyphia back in 2016 here in Mexico in very small venue we were around 60 people or less the bass player was high AF ,Tim was checking his cellphone in between songs and Scott was talking and joking with everybody it was like a rehearsal with friends ,they played sooooo good that night and they had less tattos😅
hell yeah😂
Such a treat to see people seeing the beauty of polyphia for the first time! Steve really layed down the grass on this track
would be cool to not infantilize them though
@@WookieWarriorz I'm actually not sure what you mean by that? I actually had to look that word up 😂
Love people listening to polyphia for the first time
They're from Plano, TX and the rabbit hole goes DEEP. You'll definitely enjoy it.
Polyphia is so inspirational to me. They undeniably push the technical difficulty super high, without forgetting that taste is king. Their songs are all so delicious in their own unique way. Every style/genre they attempt is executed with respect to the past while still making it their own. Fantastic players; historic writers.
The band as a whole are gods of their craft. Welcome to the Polyphia rabbit hole ❤️
Also check out Tim's fretboard how it has the vine like patterns like Steve's.
Welcome to polyphia!! These guys are hands down some of THE most talented musicians in the game today, every one of them is an absolute master. They have 10 years of material and all of it is amazing!! Enjoy
I LOVE THAT Part at 12:16 to 12:30 Thats Why i Love Steve Vai since 2006 when i discovered him. Along with his Mentor and Father Figure Frank Zappa.
It took me years to first listen to this band. WTF was I thinking? These guys are MAJOR league. I've seen Steve a few times myself. If you do Playing God by them. The studio version is awesome and Tims version by himself is mind blowing.
The best thing about polyphia is how down to earth they seem.
Musicians at that level have a tendency to get really egotistical. Tim is active on twitch all the time talking with fans, detailing how he writes and records, talking with people he’s collaborated with.
The whole band seems so chill. Check out some of their behind the scenes stuff in your own time (it doesn’t make good reaction content) they have such a unique mark on music right now. Both from a musicianship level and a personality level.
Meetin' the man decades ago, seein' him life countless times I just luv yur pure reaction and love for SV. Polyphia is the new generation of guitar music and in this video yu can clearly see king vai passin' on the torch! Keep on lovin' the music thing! All the best to yu Jen! -CeeHimself
Love how easy it was for Steve to enter a track and he didn’t over do it and take over a track just show how professional and respectful he is to a band
this song is such ear-worm for me right now..and i'm reaction-hopping all over the place to keep it fresh...
i loved how vai was like "i've done it all, and i'll go with a melody"...it was definitely a song within a song...
i could pick him up, in the lineup...just by ear...
Polyphia are innovating to such a degree that even Steve Vai recognizes it.
Great reaction 🔥
Polyphia's latest album they invited a bunch of different guests including singers of many different genres.
I'm here for more Polyphia.... subbed ☮️
Tim's from my backyard. A buddy I had in the car scene in Dallas actually knew him. They had the same guitar teacher. He always said Tim was quiet and reserved, polite and kind.
I got hip to polyphia through Steve Vai and I'm so glad for it. It's awesome to hear kids ripping it up!!!!
We are around the same age apparently, @Just Jen Reacts. I was obsessed with Vai by the time I was 12. This band is already established, there have been several artist Steve literally plucked from CZcams and tried to help them get their music careers going. One of these was a young German guitarist who was on youtube playing Vai covers at the age of 12. Someone showed Steve here vids and by age 14 she was invited on stage to play one of his songs with him... she was 14. She just turned 30 Her name Is Yasi Hofer, look her up on here. Anther young talent Vai is helping get known is a 10 yr old bass guitarist named Ellen. She got to play live on stage With Steve a cple weeks ago. Her Bass is bigger than she is.
I love the jumpers, "when you rock out hard core, but have to be at Grandma's for dinner."
I knew your reaction to this would be epic! The style of the band is very crisp and tight and Steve Vai beautifully accompanied it with his own unique style. He could have turned it into a shredfest but he deliberately didn't. Steve doesn't have to prove himself anymore. He doesn't try to compete with the young folks of Polyphia. That makes this song all the more memorable.
The band is definitely worth following and Playing God is definitely worth a response video. I look forward to it.
(Edit) If you haven't responded to Steve Vai in a while, I strongly recommend Teeth of the Hydra.
Watching people react to Polyphia for the first time always makes me smile.
Have to see Steve Vai - Teeth of the Hydra (Official Music Video)😳
You need to listen to so much polyphia they are one of my favorite bands. Playing god and goat are amazing songs!!
Playing god came out on my birthday and what an awesome present it was lol. These boys don't miss in my opinion
Enjoy the rabbit hole! They are masters at weaving in very catchy hooks in between very technical passages while not neglecting silence.
We need more of Polyphia reaction. You will absolutely love it
When you described Steve Vai....I knew exactly when that was. That's was around the "Whitesnake" time. That's the only time I remember him having colored pieces in his hair lol.
They’re from Texas. Tim Henson is the first guitarist. Scott LePage is the second. Clay Gober is the bassist. Clay Aeschliman is the drummer. They started very young and have many albums out already. They started as heavy djent and metal core but then morphed into their own sound by incorporating hip hop and rap elements to their music.
Steve Vai is the god of guitar, remember seeing him with Roth back in 1986, great choice Jen 🤘
The reaction you showed at 12:00 makes me realize that you truly love this song. That breakdown truly makes this song so epic
It's such a mutual respect song, I expect that Polyphia were certain Steve would say no. But he is such a lovely guy, he judges people on merit not with his ego!
Guitar World has a great article from about 2-3 months ago, where Tim says something almost just like that…worth the read.
Apparently Steve has been a Polyphia fan for quite a while and tells everyone to check them out. They had opened for him at a show some years ago I believe so I think Steve was eager to work with them
cant wait for your playing god reaction, the song is as mind blowing
this was so enjoyable and wholesome to watch. I look forward to more polyphia reactions!!
Enjoy the rabbit hole that is Polyphia! Hope to see some more reactions to them!
As a fellow 80's kid, I look forward to hearing your input about their music because I love their music.
POLYPHERY! hahahaha LOVE YOUUUU ❤❤❤
Wow man . The only reaction video that makes me cry along watching.
Steve Vai Was like an Alien in the early 90 ies and early 2000. He Looked Like an Alien and he made the weirdest music Passion and Warfare is ONE of the Greatest Albums of All Time and not 1 Bad Song on there.
They’re from Dallas, TX & have been gaining momentum since 2014 … 😎
Tim Henson (Neck tattoo), Scottie LePage (Fabulous hair), Clay Gober (Bassist) and Clay Aeschliman (Drummer) are the band members, they're based out of Plano Texas and they've been at it for the better part of a decade by now. You found Polyphia at just the right time, their long awaited 4th album dropped a couple weeks ago. If I might give some suggestions, along with the new album, New Levels New Devils and The Worst LP are fantastic albums. Welcome aboard!
I'm 65. Been playing since the third grade. At 12:00 it went to my happy place. I wish Jimi could have heard this-
Right on Jen, love your game.
Try Polyphia Playing God official music video, thanks requesting 😊
Love your voice and review! Just subscribed to your channel 😀
subscribed! we both had the same reaction listening to their songs for the first time lol
Glad you liked the track. Just want to clarify something about the idea of "ego death." The term actually refers to the complete loss of one's subjective self-identity.
The experience of ego death can be many things including transcendental or extremely scary. Some people achieve ego death through LSD, others through meditation. The idea is to be truly one with the universe and no longer identify with one's sense of "self."
You need to react to more Polyphia songs, their new album is amazing
def react to the whole album, the singles include Playing God, Neurotica and ABC!
Polyphia was one of my favorite bands around 2012, they are amazing still to this day.
Incredible!
Polyphia is repping Texas! I'm so freaking proud that a band this good is from my home state! Polyphia one of my favorite bands atm.
That trumpet is no ordinary trumpet player, that's Brasstracks, he's worked with some of the biggest R&B and Rap artists in the world
But definitely check that Playing God vid out too
"This kid is a beast!"
Definitely check out Chimera, playing god and Bloodbath
Loved your reaction! I saw you noticed playing god at the end there. You should definitely watch it!
Polyphia is a math rock band from texas started in 2010 when they're highschool i believe
Of all reactors I love Jen’s the most - everything is so genuine
Aww 🥰 thanks!!!
Whole album is a front to back masterpiece. They did a rock opera with primarily instrumentals. This is like the metal Green Day.
such a great reaction
+1
i only know GOAT by them so i will have to check out more of their songs. btw thanks for the sub means a lot coming from someone whose reached the level of success on here that i am trying to!
Ego death is a "complete loss of subjective self-identity". Usually associated with extremes meeting, psychedelics, and extreme psychotic episodes,
Commenting for the algorithm.
Fun fact - Steve Vai names 5 contemporary guitarists who are taking the instrument to the next level - #1 is Tim Henson.
As you said. Playing God should be your next reaction from Polyphia! You will love it!
Great reaction! It was fun watching you! Polyphia is my favorite band!
This was an amazing reaction. I think we want to watch more polyphia reactions from you as much as you want to do them!
Please check out these tunes!

Think it's been pointed out, amongst many things 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' progression. But they are something special. And it does suck you need to pause it. The music does all the talking. Ironically Steve is reserved but 'vocal'. Beautiful tune.
this whole album that just came out of theirs is incredible, not a single bad song on it. This is actually the final song on the album. You should check out some of their older stuff they started as a instrumental metal band and they've progressed to where they are now and found their own sound, it's really cool seeing how much they've grown as musicians.
For what it's worth.. Every musician sounds very bad, for a very long time, before they start sounding any good. A bad sounding musician is just someone earlier in their journey. But sounding good often only means "practiced more". And you'd be surprised to hear how many hours even talented musicians spend "sounding bad", while they compose or create a piece, because they too have to "learn" to play what they compose and while you learn, you will always sound bad. Practice makes perfect just means that you get better through repetition. And as a musician I can say that nobody is ever "done or finished" with learning about music theory. It's a never ending journey.. just ask Steve Vai ;)
PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH "PLAYING GOD" AND G.O.A.T BY POLYPHIA.
Love it!
They are actually Like 24 and 27 years old. I HIGHLY recommend the Song Playing God its their 2 nd Best Song.
Did anyone know that Steve Vai showed up at Joe Satriani's door with an unstrung guitar in one hand and a pack of strings in the other?
Jen, this is ostensibly your reaction channel, reactions work like this. I'd not worry about pausing, it's a requirement. We all get it, no worries!
The 'kid' is almost 30 but doesn't look like it.
Those half-Asian genes may have played a part.
If it's anything like the rabbit hole I went down two years ago, it's gonna be a deep one... a VERY deep one. I'm also a guitar player of 15 years too so there is that to consider. Two years ago, they inspired me to take my own playing and ability to the next (and highest possible) level. But as an empath and and emotional conduit, regardless of my instrument knowledge, this band has changed my very foundation. Up until this song came out, Bittersweet from their Renaissance album was my favorite. I'd have to go back in time and make a reaction video to explain what their music does to me.
Polyphia is the band that professional musicians pay attention to.
I’m a huge Steve vai fan too. Check out his new video called ” teeth of the hydra” he is still playing and is on tour now killing it! Great song and reaction!
They're from plano TX. And they're incredible live.
“Playing God” & “G.O.A.T.”
oh boy, you should check Playing God, GOAT, O.D., 40oz, The Worst, Goose, Chimera, Bloodbath...
You NEED to do Playing God next!
I absolutely love this band. I only discovered them this year but they are easily tied as my favorite band (with Coheed and Cambria).
Definitely check out all their vids from this year. Most people react to G.O.A.T. but I also love Goose, 40oz and Look but Don't Touch (just remember the vid is an April Fools joke lol)
Just gave the 145th like. I sincerely hope you just click the Playing God link anyway. You won’t regret it. Polyphia really is the best band around right now. They have been around a few years but are now reaching their full potential. It’s the best time to discover them.
Playing God, Chimera, & G.O.A.T. … & they’re from Plano, TX !!! 🇺🇸
Ego death is anything but negative. Many scholars and ancient teachers said that you must kill the ego of this life to transcend or ascend to a higher being or Christ-consciousness. It's like Maynard sings in Tool, he must "crucify the ego." I think it's them laying it all down and being humble with Steve Vai on the song, which I'm sure he was a big inspiration for Tim and Scottie, the guitarists.
Great reaction, I can tell you have real love for this music. Please do listen to Playing God I’ll look for it. Liked and Subscribed. Keep em coming Jen.
They from Dallas Texas, well Plano to be exact
"Oh. They're young kids".
Tim Henson (the neck tattoo guy) with 29yo: 👁👄👁
Polyphia (you pronounce it right) is from Texas 🤠 and they're on the road for a long time. I joked about you saying they're so young, but Tim really looks young. I think he's a fairy princess. They were a progressive metal band, but a looot has changed since their begininng.
Love your videos. Thanks. Bye o/
Oh non dommage tu dois déjà connaître Tender surrender de Steve Vai, j'aurai aimé voir ta réaction sur ce titre, super vidéo on vois que tu es fan !
My fav thing is to see someone get blown away just like I was. I mean ...WTAF?
Talking about a good bassline. You should check out primus. The bassist IS the lead and the guitar is the backup. Check out "my name is mud" by them
I believe there from Plano TX
Okay, you like finding new and different groups? You like Herman Li? You like Tim and Scott(Polyphia)? Perhaps you should check out BabyMetal! Herman Li helped write one of their biggest songs "Road of Resistance", and it is very Dragonforce-esque. Tim and Scott also helped a BabyMetal song called "Brand New Day".
I love your reaction jen and next time please your reaction VOICE OF BACEPROT (VOB) song SABOTAGE COVER BY BEASTIE BOYS live performance in PASIWALI TAIWAN 2022 🤘🤘
Hey Jen I just wanted to say I love reactions. I know you haven’t reacted to any falling in reverse for bit, but I wanted to recommend some older ones like alone, brother, gangsta’s paradise, just like you, chemical prisoner, bad girls club, asshole, carry on, fair weather fans.
P.s.
Sorry if that was a lot to read.
This is for sure a rabbit hole I will enjoy watching you go down. Have yet to find anything from any single one of these guys thats not epic.
Toneing everything down!!!! Hhhhaaa!!!!
from texas
ps. u got the name right!!
Kind of a jazz rock fusion
It's not often that I subscribe to a random reaction video, but you seem like a cool chick, so ya got mine ;p
Lol the “ego death” is referring to all the guitar players watching the video
300+ like now. I'm ready for you to lose your mind with "playing god".
