People hating on Tim's appearance is so weird to me. I'm a straight male and metal head, but I can wholeheartedly say that Tim is handsome as f**k. He has the total rock star look.

Tim Henson, Scott LePage, Yvette Young and Ichika Nito give me hope for guitar forward music. They are the future.

This album wasn't for me. It was super cool and I'll still listen to other songs of theirs but I only really liked chimera and even then I disliked the vocals. I still love polyphia and maybe I'll listen to it and like it in the future.

Only heard 5 songs from the album but they've all been fantastic. Great job Herman for brining Tim back on your show.

42:55 Am I the only one who thinks of Tim primarily as a guitarist of course, but secondarily as a fashion icon? The dude has taste, and it suits him very much. The mullet, the tattoos, the rollnecks, the kicks, the whole theme going on with his signature guitars, everything is just so goddamn cool. And for his face, he is basically the BTS V of the guitar world, in a very good way.

It isn't a good look on bands when it's fans shit on other music to try and get people to listen to them.

I'm new to Tim and his playing and music. and I only heard of his group via Vai's posting of Ego Death. First listen I skipped to Steve's part. Then I watched his two pick scratches over and over, and smiled every time. Then I paid attention to the end when they're all playing standing almost back to back facing outward, and I thought. "wow, that's very cool". And then I finally paid attention to the rest of the song, and I was like "Holy shit these guys can play". And then Tim playing a solo piece "Playing God" which showed not only his amazing playing, but also compositional skills and broad musical education and knowledge. And damn, I was blown away. And what a nice and insighful interview that was. Saddened Tim got shit from some idiots and bigots etc... Well, I just can't wait to follow his career and my mind boggles at what's in store. And I was also impressed with his slippers.

Way cool to hear your experience. I can imagine many others going through that same moment of discovery and realization.

the album is so fire! everyone stream it now for tim and the boys!

Great guest as always! I love how laid back Polyphia is and how relatable they are as people. Makes me appreciate the band even more. Love seeing talented artists be humble and real. Congratulations on the new album as well, Tim!

Love these Shred Talk episodes.. Its so much nicer to hear what the artists actually intended to say rather than the click baity quotes taken out of context

These 2 are the reason why I picked up my guitar. I truly appreciate what you guys are doing 🤞🏾

tremendous and important interview. well done.

Tim, I was at the VIP session in Atlanta in July on your last tour, and you were just so warm and welcoming that it made the whole night for me. So your efforts have not gone unnoticed! Thank you for being who you are.

Love to see this and so happy for his success - love to see how happy Tim is. It really seems like him and Polyphia are going to bring on a huge new wave of guitar as popular music and it's exciting to see what will come from that.

Always enjoy these talks, way more deep and interesting than normal guitar magazine/on tour interviews. Definitely would love to just listen to these two talk for hours.

I love this interview!

Love the new album and I always love to hear Tim talk about what he loves!

Love Tim and Herman….. Amazing guitarists and equally awesome humans. Blessed to have been able to interact w you guys and most of all blessed to hear your music. Thank you. 😈🙌🏼🤘🏼🔥

The album is incredibly dope and I fell in love with it

This was such a fantastic interview, they both seemed really comfortable around each other and honestly Tim opening up about his experience and being able to clarify things was the best thing ever, it feels like he’s so genuine and pouring his heart out here. Also, incredibly humble still, you can really tell he’s grown and matured and focuses on the important things now. All the best to both of you guys and your bands, you’re all doing an incredible job and your true fans will stick with you through thick and thin! And all the people who talk shit probably have shitty lives and I feel sorry for them.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Herman and Tim are, and will always be, guitar heroes and legends to me! :)

Such an authentic and honest interview...Loved it...coming from an old (54) Metal Head that loves each of your creative styles..AND and exceptional ALBUM Tim..thanks and keep on doing you!🤘🤘🤘

Two legends, Tim's a poet, the new album is 🔥

I love seeing Herman and Tim hanging out together. Herman was the one who made the video that led me to discover Polyphia so maybe that's why lol. Thank you guys for all the awesome and fun videos! Huge fan of you both. One love

Tim obviously feels very comfortable talking to Herman. That makes it very fun to watch and listen to. And the new Polyphia albums is absolutely amazing, the videos are great and the collaborations smoking good. Thanks, Tim and Herman!

You both are awesome. You've re-inspired this 50 yr old to pick up his guitar again after almost 30 yes of failed attemps. I can only imagine being able to express my emotions through my guitar. You both have brought me a step closer. Thank you. Expect Me.... mauh ah ah ... lol

They've been working so hard for years. Kudos 👏. Wonder if they will be switching their style up 180 soon. Wouldn't complain either way

Very humble and awesome guy and deserve all the respect and fame, his music and talent is top notch and that is what makes him super amazing!

I think the reason the boomer bends controversy was so big, is because the term was so spot on. XD

Love the album. Being a guitar player, I would also love an instrumental version as well to hear the insane ability you 4 possess.

Great interview. Based on so many subjects. It's all about the music, and how the development of it. Thanks for ideas on the content that was discussed in the interview. Keep up the great work among you both in your musical life.

I'm here feeling like a very proud uncle.. 🧔 kudos for Tim's Mom & Dad for their love n wisdom

LOVE LOVE that you went over the HAPA experience. Seriously teenage me would have been so moved and inspired by that. As an adult idk I guess you grow to know the feeling of not fitting in anywhere. Love you guys

I don't think people understand how hard it is to be mainstream. If you see most pop artist make it into the mainstream, that's because most of it is done by big corps who is looking for talents. If you listen to Polyphia now and 10 years ago, they were really trying to perfect their craft and find their identity. Seeing how hip hop is such a big genre in the music business, they've managed to fuse their technical playing with hip hop/rap whilst also creating tracks like Playing God. Then they also changed how they look and shaped their own aesthetic so it could be synonymus with their music. Remember Tim is 29 years old, at least 19 of those years are used to practice and create his craft. If people want to talk shit, they better have enough crediblity to do so.

Awesome to see Polyphia move up Into the mainstream. Hope the pack stadiums everywhere. I will definitely attend some of those concerts. Great Q&A with Tim Henson. I really enjoy hearing his opinion and views on all things music. Keep those videos coming Herman. A ++++

You guys have really proved yourselves and truly deserve all the best! As a Taiwanese kid ,and a young all around musician who grew up in the US I have the same story! I can say ,though Tim claims to not speak Mandarin,I unequivocally know growing up in a family that spoke Mandarin that he unequivocally understands it!

Polyphia's last album is such a masterpiece. I will never turn on you guys, no matter what you do. Thanks for all this beauty you created.

It's great to hear and see the interview from Tim and Herman. It really makes at Tim (as I know of Herman being very social) look a lot more happy than in some of his photos.

Great interview! Tim, you did a great job. You sound more comfortable talking. The new album is sick! I also got my concert tickets for the show coming to my area in March already.

Herman, the slow fuse graphic filling the screen, p dam cool man. As for the new album I’m just kind of new to the band but I really dig this album. I even added it to my playlist. Well done guys.

This is so heartwarming and wholesome, Herman being Kind of a father Figure and telling Tim Hes gonna be alright and His Mom loves him, i need more of that in my Life, i am so fed up with Fake Shit Like the media stuff they talked about, this is what i need to heal and i thank Herman and Tim for being great Humans and Sharing this ❤

You're one of the coolest guys on KZread. Love watching your videos. Thanks.

The new album is so dope! 🤘

Ive been a fan of Herman for a while because Im into Twitch music channels since they started having more than just ITL but actual categories of shows. Anyway, i just discovered Tim 2 days ago for some reason (late to the game as usual) 😂 but wow Im digging the talent BIGTIME the technicality, and the super chill vibes . Inspiring MANY bedroom artists of all genres too and its cool cause they are unique in this respect and while not all will have nice things to say about Tim (Idk why) theres something UNDENIABLY COOL about him and Polyphia thats is going to spawn a whole generation of future artists and that is so worth it IMO. I bet they are super stokked about the new album and rightfully so ❤. Cool interview btw.

Cool to see this type of conversation from two guys from the scene.

Great interview with an amazing musician and guitar hero.

Tim was talking about how we feel the music and making sure it’s dope. Polyphia and their whole sound are intense and I personally have no problem listening to your last 4 albums on repeat. Keep it up. 🤌🏽

Tim is an amazing person and musician! Through him (and Nuno Bettencourt), I discovered this channel, and I've been listening to it all day long for 2 days now! Great job Herman! Your interviews are amazing, and your music too ;-)

You're both great, and the album was fantastic!

thank you Li for bringing these precious jewels to my knowledge

oh what an unexpected but interesting interview. thanks you to share such personal feeling and family experiences. 1 hour past like 10 minutes. thumbs up !

Polyphia has been in the scene for a long time, but I just discovered them a couple of months ago. Their music is melodic. I’m a rhythm gamer, and the songs there aren’t focused on lyrics, but the technique of the composer/musician. This fits the bill. Must be the algorithm.

Dude the interviewer was on point! Great job. And awesome to get to hear a little bit into the process for the band. Awesome video

Omg: a thanksgiving special w/ Tim and Herman would be so fucking amazing. Would luv to see it. Cheers

Gotta say this was a great interview and I definitely have a fresher perspective on Mr. Henson and the rest of the band! Congrats on the success and doing what you love!! Also welcome to being a car geek like the rest of us ;p The C8 is on my list for my next purchase, and the white is a really great color for it!!

For sure Tim. I will remember you (and the band - Scott, 2x Clay ) for your music. "Playing God" is probably the most amazing pieces of music I've eve heard. Respect.

Love Tim & the rest of the Polyphia boys.

thanksgiving with tim and herman

I’m surprise people don’t talk about how handsome Tim is. Like it’s actually insane how beautiful he is

I just discovered Polyphia and Tim literally last week so the social media stuff is working, guys. The new album is an immense musical leap I enjoyed twice today all ready. Great interview, Herman. I love hearing how grateful Tim is and how introspective he is about how trials pass by and one can endure. I appreciate the long form chat and getting to know you both a little better. I hope RTYWD is a huge success and I know that you all are just coming into a new level of creativity. Keep making great art and let that joy come through. Rock on.

I would love to see Herman and ZP on shredtalk

RTYWD is one of the most solid albums as I've ever listened to. I didn't know Polyphia could top themselves but they did.

Dude this is awesome, I love your content man. Great interview.🎃

I’m genuinely shocked these two haven’t done a track together yet

I legit think it would be very interesting to see you two and your mothers all talk to each other about your shared experiences.

It is really good to see the growth in Tim since the last interview I saw with him. Looks like he is growing up and starting to understand the value of the gifts he has been given. As he grows more I hope he gets how much he is able to influence a lot of people and that it can be wielded as a tool for good or just contributing more to the steady decline in humanity where people will ultimately end up standing at their property lines screaming incoherently while flinging poo at each other. Will he become a boon to humanity or will he become just another resource suck on the world? Music IS that powerful! Stay tuned!!!

Good ol’ Tim. Making guitarists insecure since the planets were created

I saw them in H Town, VIP meet and greet- they were phenomenal! All members of the band were genuine, respectful of the questions the fans were asking. They sounded amazing. It was a full house. Listening to them in person was surreal. The sky is the limit for Polyphia! I am a die hard, loyal fan!
