I've never heard one second of this band...this thread suggests I have made the your life choice

Polyphia is not metal, period. Aluminum at best.

Gay as fuck.

Also why the second guitar player(not Tim duh) sounds like he has a piece of dried up baguette stuck in his throat when he addresses the crowd?

it's an act to antagonize boomers and others; appears to be working as designed, maybe even better.

Vai had the Monkey Grip...these guys have the Glory Holes. Fits all sizes.

It really doesn't even matter if they are metal are not. They are talented dudes, killer musicians really, and people pay to see them. Plus like has been said they are polarizing so that actually is better for them cause it keeps people talking. Maybe it should be called "heavy petal" like a flower. A gentler easy listening style of metal. It might be cool if a metal band sang about roses and daisies and walks in the park and holding hands and stuff. Call it "Kum-Ba-Ya-core". LOL

Great post


Also notice how the genre of metal has the most subgenres of all of them? That's gotta tell ya something

They identify as "jazz to rock trans metal"

Talented?...yes. Listenable?....difficult.

For me, it's the lack of a groove. I've heard a few songs that are interesting, but nothing that gets my head moving or toe tapping. Even the filthiest metal has a groove in there. Polyphia is more of a gymnastics show than a concert.

This may be heresy, but I also lump Animals As Leaders into the same category. Abasi is a monster player, but after a song or two, all the clickity clackity stuff wears thin.

no comment.

in my hair metal days I did wear Lip Service elastic jeans, usually snakeskin boots or white converse chuck taylor high tops, and some very pirate-esque shirts; I can honestly say no face makeup, and hairspray didn't work with my thick curly hair, I had to use that glue like hair gel that was like shellac. Thankfully, photographic and video evidence of that time is not online.
