Thanks for checking out Polyphia, the whole band is nuts, from the Clays (drummer and bassist) to Tim and Scott (lead guitarists) they are all world class. For your next video you should check out Playing God (official video) and then after perhaps in the same video watch Playing God Unplugged, with Tim playing just by himself. The camera is focused on his hands the entire time. The guy is like on level 10000 on his instrument, he makes it look so easy...he is so in the flow state. Its so incredible. Tim is without question one of the most influential virtuoso guitarists of this generation and will go down as one of the greats of all time. He's already know for his unique sound and monster skills on guitar. But I think its his unique composing style that has already been called out by Steve Vai and Joe Satriani that will be remembered. He's like the Paganini of guitar not using a single technique but mixing them like colors that he can use to paint his creations. He's not held back by convention. His mind, they way he approaches composition is just different. Just watch any of his making of videos. Its really interesting. Keep reacting, check out the rest of Polyphia's catalog, so much music...so many styles....remember if something doesn't float your boat....try something else....they are always experimenting. Playing God is from there most recent album, but I would also suggest you check out O.D, Chimera(Playthrough), Neurotica (Band Playthrough), Ego Death (fea. Steve Vai), The Audacity. Tim has also said he is working on a solo album so keep an eye out for that!!!

The end card suggesting Polyphia's "Playing God" is as good a suggestion as any, but my favorite (for the time being) is "Ego Death," featuring Steve Vai (whom you may have heard of).

They are obviously talented. This song is very different. Not sure it makes my playlist. I’ll have to check them out. Also, in regards to prog rock, why don’t people mention Kansas?

Slipped my mind! Kansas is my #2 band, all time, and yes, they should be counted as prog!

Try Playing God. Much later in their history.
