Rest in Peace Ryan, such an amazing guitar player, you will never be forgotten😢
What happened?
@@samm8922 hes passed unfortunately. rest in peace
Absolutely. You could see it in his face. He truly enjoyed playing, and the music he wrote reflects that. You can hear the power of it just in this play through.
RIP man, the battles over. ❤
@@RocklobsterCodyagreed. He seemed like a genuinely good dude too. Based on what I know about his mental health struggles and the lack of information available on the whole, do we know for sure if…that’s…what this was?
@@fuyufuyndamn. I listen to the album everytime I work out. Didn’t really follow the band but that sucks
Ryan Siew influenced me to learn this song. Took 6 months and I was damn proud. RIP
Hes influencing me right now to learn I wish I could have seen him preform
Look how happy he was playing. Whata legend. Rest in peace.
Rick and jake: focusing and playing hard
Ryan: v i b i n g
That lead part is confusing as fuck to learn lmao. He barely repeats the same note pattern at all. It's a always some sort of change up.
As someone that has primarily played only metalcore and prog tunes for years, 1:08 is still the most fun riff to play. So fucking good. R.I.P Ryan man what a talent
Me too. I am absolutely captivated by that riff, it’s like lifeblood
Rest in Peace Ryan. You will be sorely missed. My heart breaks for his family and bandmates. Thank you for the amazing contributions to the world of metal
Rest in peace Ryan, this song means the world to me. Thank you for everything.
Criminally underrated musicians.... Definitely my neighbors favorite band at the moment even if they like it or not
Criminally underrated comment. This is my neighbors neighbor favorite band as well.
Polaris is DOPE.
I can just picture Jamie and Dan watching behind the camera like proud dad's seeing their sons do a cool guitar thing together 😌
I know right hahaha
Especially Dan considering he’s the primary song writer, which I just find insane because he’s a drummer.
Remember when Ryan was a little baby doin Periphery playthroughs
yeah mate. Time flies.
I saw him first time on his Critical Acclaim cover video. Goddamn.
This hits hard.
Love how all of the instrumental versions show off how well written your song are!
Honestly, I never realised how technical the lead part was to this song. They’re just amazing musicians.
I thought the same thing.
@@c4gob00m same bro haha. They’re insane 🤘
@@c4gob00m haha same dude. I wasn’t a huge fan of the song until I watched this and now it’s one of my favorites 🤷♂️
RIP king. The lyrics always spoke to me, but your skills were next level. You were already big, going to be huge. Really makes me wonder what was going through your head when you wrote 01:57
The Death of Me is easily the best album I have ever heard, period. Every single song is unique and has passion and life put into it. I've never been so proud to be a metalcore fan!
Sir, you said it all.
I am once again reminded of a comment I saw years ago on one of Ryans covers, it went something like "he is great at playing someone elses music but i'd like to see him write his own stuff"...oh how I hope they paid attention
Ryan looked so happy here man, such a horrific loss. RIP you beautiful soul. A true pioneer and an amazing guitarust
All the amazing nuances you hear without the vocals are incredible. Don’t get me wrong I love the song, but this is beautiful
Agreed, the chorus is insanely beautiful hearing all of it.
Rest in Paradise man, the only thing I ultimately regret is not seeing you guys live ONCE. I am hurt by the news, I hope he’s found peace and the band will as well. You guys are so talented, Ryan was certainly a god on guitar. All love and respect.
Epic
Didn't expect to see you here man, love your content. Looking forward to seeing you hit that 500k mark.
Oh shit it's my Arab Canadian bro
Ryan's riffs we're always no nostalgic. R.I.P Legend. 0:47
This very song, and this very clip is what got me into Polaris. Great band, great guitarists. RIP Ryan - from someone you never knew existed, but I knew you did.
He looks so happy here… rest easy legend.. 😢
Rest in peace Ryan... had to come and watch my favorite playthrough with him after hearing the heartbreaking news 😢
That turquoise Mayones guitar tho 🥵
I know right
@@RickSchreder let’s play this on my ibanez gio
@@simaarr Depends what colour it is
1:30 I love this, they all (especially Ryan) just go "ooooh yeaaaah.." and bop their heads. But then again, who doesn't?
Definitely singing "Im a wreck, i confess, I am in so far above my head and ive been telling everyone that i cant bear the weight" during the chorus.
When I break! Do you Break? Can you feel it like your bones are achiiiiiing?
Even as we grow it hurts to know that some things never chaaaaaange!!
@@joedavies6364 YES.
@@joedavies6364 then jamie goes "SOME THINGS NEVER CHAAAAAAAANGEEE"
Fucking banger!
Had to come back to see his work.
RIP RYAN
Descansa en paz, tus riff me inspiraron a volver a tener Banda gracias por tanto Ryan 🙏🥺 te debo tanto
rest in peace ryan, came back to relearn it.
Can’t tell what’s smoother... The riffs, or that FPS damn 😍
it's...50fps?
@@debidi1461 Correct mate. Video just looks super smooth I meant
Ryan we will never forget the melodies and riffs you brought us. Forever in our ❤s we love you and Polaris gang. Stay strong boys 💪 ❤
Rest In Peace Ryan. Your energy and your soul will be missed in the music world. Your playing has inspired me as a musician. My prayers go to your family, your friends, your band mates, and too all you’ve touched.
This song lives in my head rent free and I’m so happy it does
Another amazing work guys! Please do “all of this is fleeting” next.
I second this

Honestly in tears watching this now… such an amazing musician taken far too soon… RIP Ryan 🖤
What an amazing work. Love this performance.
That made me so happy. Such a complete song from beginning to end
such an amazing tune and the melodies are awesome!
Oh my god that is amazing!!!! Love it
Hope you play all the album💕
Those riffs gives me joy
Love this so much
so satisfying...😭 A huge thank you starting from the band to everyone who is working behind the scenes.
Gone too soon. One of the best young guys left out there … R.I.P.
And this is why this song was my top song for 2020! Man, you guys are absolutely incredible!! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for spending so much effort on your music and brand.
Seriously, thank you, for being mindful of your work in what seems to be every aspect.
One of the most dope songs I've ever heard
I just realised how interesting this song is guitar wise. Great work guys, looking forward to your europe tour next year!
I've always come back to this vid. One of my favs. Different to watch now.. Seeing Ryan just grooving along. 😔
this is fantastic! really shows off the talented songwriting behind it all
beautifully played, one of my favourites off the album
sending much love for this song
My favourite song from the latest album. Thanks for sharing 😍
I always enjoy the jams. Berry thoughtful music! 🙏❤️🤘🍓
It's so incredible how you can vibe with this song so much in its original form but then hearing this makes you appreciate the nuances that the incredible song writing brings out here. Absolutely fantastic song, thanks for this mates, keep doing them!
one of the best albums of the year, keep up the good work boys
I love the music scene coming from AUS lately. You guys are the best of it. Love from USA.
Craziest thing to me still is watching Ryan's old videos and now seeing him in one of my favorite bands. So crazy how time flies haha
Been learning this song from a tab book I bought at your show. I am so floored that people can write such dynamic and soulful riffs. Every note in the lead is so perfect. It must have taken so much time to put this all together.
Honestly my favorite song off the record. It’s just so perfectly written
Day made! Absolutely unreal vibes and musical magic. Frothin’
Ryan forged music that wont be forgotten. what beast! what a band! thinking of you Polaris and family.
Need more of these, this is killer
I still cant believe I got to see you guys play this live a week ago today, in Bristol UK at SWX! Everything from the vocals to your stage presence was PERFECT! I can't wait to see you guys again!
such a great band. i love every aspect of polaris and i cant wait to see what they do next.
Great song, amazing playthrough and every time I come back to this I cant help but notice how happy Ryan looks here, what an awesome sound. RIP Ryan
You see Ryan enjoying playing shows he almost cant get enough just by sitting.
Ryan will forever be my fav guitarist
The Death of Me is an amazing album and this definitely my favorite song on the record. As a guitar player myself I'm so happy they did a playthrough of this :)
I love that everyone is in the video and not separate like the Pray for Rain one. So much cooler seeing you all as one unit.
Big fan of these play throughs, would love to see something heavier or even something older too!
I come back to watch this so often. The song is so well put together and one of my favourites.
I love Ryan's energy in this 😢
The amount of talent in that room is astounding
This is so clean OMG
Man this is my new fave🎉 so nice
Ryan Siew Forever 🖤🖤🖤
Speechless. I don't know a band with better guitarwork and composition skills.
This song is so important to me. Even without the words, it gives me goosebumps. God damn i love it.
This is such an emotionally welcome surprise during this goddamn pandemic. Thank you guys so much for this.
Freaking Beautiful! Guitars always shine in Polaris!! 🤘🏼
All the love to you guys🤘🏻
❤🤘🏻
THIS IS SICK MAN
Ya'll's obviously having a lot of fun playing your music. I dig it. Makes me want to go on an adventure. Prost, from RI.
This is probably my favorite song off this album❤️
Chef’s kiss!
RIP Ryan ❤master of sick riffs
I got the tab book for Christmas. learning the drop b songs first then the rest. I'm so excited. first tab book I've had in 15 years or more and I'm so happy with it. highly recommend. support this guys.
Really love how Ryan is vibing to the song while playing 😄
I've always enjoyed the instruments in this song. But when I saw Polaris drop this teaser on IG the other day... boy it made me so stupid happy! And now seeing it, especially having the bassist there and not just the guitarist... damn I really think every playthrough should be like this!!
Sold work guys! Can wait till I see yall in tour. Hopefully with Kingdom of Giants 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That chorus lick is awesome 😎
Hard to watch these without tearing up man.. RIP Ryan, you were such a legend ❤
I really enjoyed Ryan movements so much
Pure magic.....
Polaris is one of the few bands that have the ability and mindset to write songs that will give you goosebumps and wanting to circlepit at the same time. The incredible talent of all of them is outstanding!
This will forever be one of my favourite songs ever written, it’s honestly unfathomable how you could put together such a literal perfect song, every riff, note, slide in this song is just absolutely perfect. You will be missed so much man, you look so happy in this video and it’s so hard to think how far you could’ve further come, considering the popularity of fatalism. Ryan forever 🖤
the riff masters are back
breath taking.
I wish I listened to this band while Ryan was still around, but I appreciate his talent even more now
This is my absolute favorite Polaris song
what a piece of music!
This song is incredible
hearing this reminds me of 25 years ago listening to a portable CD player. the sound just takes me back to when this sound was all the rage.
