"money and girls"
hard to argue with that

[IdFightMyDad]

Look at all the dudes in the chat agreeing that girls love the music.

[lordhendrickson]

As a metalhead in a metal band, he’s absolutely right.

[sohumgoyal]

Tim's business mind and his guitar skills both contributed to his success

[zenn]

Being in a metal band is nothing but a sausage party.

[NPC]

Makes sense. His music sounds inspired by money and girls, which it is.

[Noided]

Damn he really triggered yall huh? He's not even wrong.

[AtichonN.-iztq]

Metal band nowadays is kinda hard to reach fame like back in the 80s, he’s not wrong but i guess metalheads might be pissed off by this.

[salembeats]

My opinion is that it doesn’t matter what genre you play, you just have to make sure you write catchy music with some good choruses and a memorable melody. That’s a big reason why all the big metal bands are successful. They write good songs with some tech stuff sprinkled into it but they don’t make it the whole song

[rhyscianchetti]

I personally love metal. I love individuals in metal bands. I don't know how true this take is. I think there is more to music than just earning money, but I also think Tim and Polyphia are smart enough to do both. They make stuff that they like that also makes money. I could see how Metal could not make AS MUCH money as maybe the 80s but saying metal blatantly doesn't make money is too broad of a statement. There are plenty of metal bands that make loads of money. The big names. I think a better take would have been "It is harder to make money in a metal band".

[Petey]

I heard the guy say with my own ears "Guitar bands suck". He is in a guitar band.

[Rituaali_]

obviously hes not wrong but it sounds super disrespectful when metal musicians usually do what they do just for the love and passion for the genre

[charlesreid]

He is 100% right. And ill guarantee all those musicians in metal bands admire and listen to him. Their fanbase are musicians.

[daylight]

I F-ing love Tim henson!! that dude can say anything he wants about guitar he can back it up

[damienalvarez]

If metal was more popular, metal fans would be complaining how the bands they listen to sold out.

[belleybutton]

He maybe right but the problem with Tim is arrogance. He's very much up his own ass 9/10 times and that's what makes people not listen to him. Doesn't matter how right you are if you got a shitty attitude noone is gonna listen.

[ALPHABRAVO]

true
i love metal idn why, since i was a kid, and i will love it forever. but it is a lonely road, once you find the right girl tho, you are set for the rest of your eternal life

[smokachu]

I agree new age metal is trash and redundant, but I will also say Polyphia ain’t shit either 😂 polyphia is melodic but it lacks soul but the guitar technique be hard, I’d say nothing more melodic than the blues but the pentatonic scale is easy

[ZT_Performance]

Went to some venues about 5 years ago they were playing the same jazzy super technical riffs.
To his point, I Never seen so many girls at a ("metal show") lol
It's not my cup of tee
I was a bit disappointed, shit I've been disappointed in death core in general for a long time.
I miss the chonky groovy riffs that are put together in a melodic masterpiece.
Not every band is like that but for the last 10-15 years it's been a lot of copy paste/super refined Technical production without groove or hooks.
As a guitarist who writes my own metal songs it became apparent it is very niche. Only time chicks really dig my music is when I do something soft and melodic, but that's not what I care about pretty much only doing it for my love of metal.

[a_little_flame]

Solos on solos is how I’d describe 99% of every polyphia song lol
