Dude, even I can play better than Henson and his wingman, I swear.

I am by no means a huge fan, but the obsession with this guy is borderline gay stalker. The guy can play guitar. Some guys rip him for using a lot of effects, when those same dudes were and still do turn on a wall of delay/reverb/chorus/detune everytime they pick up a guitar.

Yeah dude, I am sure you can.
 
That clip of them playing with Vai is several years old at this point; still funny though

They were famous much before that, iirc.

That term you use, "borderline gay stalker": Do you mean Henson is borderline gay, and people are stalking him? Cause honestly, there are a lot of posts and threads about how he gives off a distinct (shall we call it?) vibe that seems to attract people to his defence.

Also, I was joking about the last part. It was hyperbole. That said, I'm not into Polyphia because I don't want to be accused of stalking borderline gays.

These videos trying to tear down other guitar players for youtube views is just kind of disgusting to me.

Say what you want but him and millions of other guitarists would benefit from a good pair of Carlos ™️ by Carlos Santana shoes and sadly they choose to think high tops are "metal" and totally screws themselves. And just for the record, converse all stars are probably the worst thing you can do for your tone.
 
Lame attempt at a take-down vid.

I can’t say I dig a single Polyphia tune enough to listen to more than once, but this shit is silly. The people who obsessively give these guys shit could have spent that time playing and would maybe gain some confidence to not feel like lashing out at strangers that actually did and do put in the time.

Using that NAMM vid was weak, Tim himself even said they were shitting their pants that night. They might have had some youtube fame but that was likely before they spent any time touring and playing live regularly. 3/4’s the members here won’t even post a fuckin’ cell phone vid of their playing, never mind stand onstage at NAMM next to Steve Vai with a thousand cameras pointed at em.

And Vai didn’t want them to not use his solo, he just said he wasn’t expecting them to edit it the way they did but ceded that it’s their song and their creative output and lessened his ego, he was thrilled with it.

There’s ample footage of those guys playing live, or even in a spot like this-



And if anyone ever catches me uttering the words “I’m a better guitarist than…..” you’ve got permission to put me out to pasture because I’ve clearly lost the plot.

Edit- that clinic popped up on my youtube feed while I was in my studio and actually changed my opinion on him; at one point he acknowledges he was coming off as a petulant little fuck in interviews and he wasn’t stoked with how he was presenting himself so he put himself on notice. If only more people did that occasionally. That gave me more respect for the dude than any of his playing or music.
