The fact that I accidentally found Ola Englund in the comments of some total shit show with the ultimate “guru” of tube amp tone sitting next to this guy. Trolling with Ola. TrOlLa lol. Love your show and your music too.
I love how the dude in the background busts out all those bluesy jams, completely unfazed by the sonic violation that's happening right in front of him
@@jonwanrocks Yeap, alexander dumble, doesn't change the fact that he busts out those bluesy jams unfazed by the sonic violation that's happening right in front of him :p
This video is probably the reason why Dumble never was seen again in any video. It'd make ANY person with a normal brain ashamed to show his face in public again.
it's both i think- he's obviously extremely fantastic as a player but i think he is also intrigued by sound and likes messing with it. he's frank zappa really.
Hi, At first when I heard Henry play, I thought what the bloody hell is this? After listening to him for a while now and It's hard to explain but this guy seems to make no sense to me musically but there's something about him and his weird musicality that totally intrigues me. It's very mesmerizing to listen to him almost hypnotic. Especially with the Asian woman that plays with him on some of the other videos. In many ways this guy is so different from anyone that I have ever heard, I like strange weird things. I would say that it actually takes a lot of talent and innovation to come up with all of this weird music. Kinda like Frank Zappa did in the 60's. Just my two cents on this.
Kaiser's tone reminds me of when a VHS tape gets to be a certain age and the sound goes all wonky. That gives old tapes a kind of lo-fi charm, I guess. Mr. Kaiser's tone is about as charming as the Ebola virus. PLAY SOMETHING LOW-DOWN FOR ME SCRAWWWWW
Watching these as a batch today in lockdown and these videos are amazing and I have genuinely been laughing out loud to them. This is one of the funniest things I have watched in ages. When he said “kinda a weird one”, I thought yeah no shit. Thanks Henry Kaiser for making me laugh, especially as you thought this was a work of serious genius.
This stuff is like...the introduction to a horror movie. I feel like any second, Howard Dumble is going shape shift into a monster and kill that damn noise.
Sounds great! '80s digital processors were known for their instant tracking capabilities; those pitch shifts are super clean and natural-sounding. Although, for much less money, you can get the same sound by punching a hole through your speaker with a screwdriver, then rubbing your guitar strings-down up and down against the front edge of the stage. Works for me, anyway!
How many people here in the comments are actual musicians or guitarists? This dude knows how to play. Period. He is using effects to get crazy avant-garde sounds but he can absolutely fucking play.
i had to give this video 5 stars, because for 10 minutes, beginning to end, I got the best laugh I've had in a while. It's just as funny each time I watch it.
Hi there! 9 years ago since someone commented. I think its time again. I have not laughed so much in 5 years as I did by the "endstroke" on 0:41. Its amazing... nothing comes closer to the sound I do every morning at my first WC-visit. "Wang bar" is also... just wonderful.. =)
'His grandfather was the industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Kaiser Senior is quoted as saying "I wish I never had a son, so my son never had Henry. He is an abomination"' This is straight from his Wikipedia page, I shit you not.
A "Wang bar?" Dude, If you're gonna touch your "Wang Bar" go to your room and close the door and for gods sakes don't bring your guitar!!!? What kind of dirt does this guy have on Dumble anyways????
I keep waiting for Dumble to kick over his overpriced amp, sock Kaiser in the head and start screaming "FOOD IS MY LOVER... FOOD IS MY LOVER" You know he eventually EATS kaiser in part 17...
LOL!! Silent assistant... That is Howard "Alexander" Dumble, the maker of all the amplifier/speaker cabinets you see in this video. If you currently owned and could sell all of those sad-looking amps, you could buy a nice house.
Strange video this one. He says some interesting things then plays utter atonal, random notes that sound like crap to back it up. The music that Henry is playing here is literally garbage and is actually embarrassing to listen to especially if he a professional musician. Guthrie Govan he is not!
This video is what happens when the amount of money in your bank account and the size of your ego are inversely proportionate to the amount of talent or musical ability you've got.
You know what I think he did? I think he got really lucky. I think he first started playing guitar at whatever age and was having real issues getting good. Then he stumbled on a bunch of idiots who loved some genre called "Free Jazz" and thought he could do that for sure, no problem. He then became "famous" and has been faking it ever sense. There's no way this guy can be really serious. This is no way to express yourself. Not at all.
He came from money. Look up Henry's discography, then look up his father, Henry J. Kaiser. It's amazing how much you can suck, and still get to associate with big name people when you have money.
Robert Guetschow Yeah, I know. Which furthers these guys' love for him. They think he's great because he's done collaborations with "great musicians". Well, great musicians will work with someone who sucks if they got the money.
:-D IF this is supposed to be a video for Dumble Amps (I'm not sure if it is, though), then kudos to Henry Kaiser for having the courage to play some reeeally avant-garde stuff when demoing a 'traditional' expensive tube amp. That's kinda cool if you ask me!!
Ok. As a photographer I was already aware that Doctors wives should not ever be allowed to own or be near a camera. As a musician of 40 years I can tell you....that this fella should have his hands amputated......and maybe his feet as well......just in case he got adventurous....and what a terrible waste that we couldn't have delved into what Dumble had on his mind.....and his playing was light years ahead of this screwball....
Shit I'm trying to watch these but my dog keeps singing along. He's going so hard I'm worried he's gonna crap himself. When he howls along with that high note I feel like the pressure will be too great and he'll rip something enormous for me to clean up.
if i were henry, i would go to ALL of the local "blues society jam nites" all over the USA and sit in.....just for fun! personally, i love what he's doing.......it's called "being creative"
At first I thought this was one of those " (guitar heroX) shreds" videos. But alas, the truth is FAR stranger than fiction. I'm amazed that Dumble doesn't wack him over the head with his Tele for giving Dumble amps a terrible name.
When you try to be as "out there" and innovative as Frank Zappa but you lack the skill, talent, and musical knowledge of Zappa, or even Bozo the Clown. Henry has always been proof positive that money can not substitute for a lack of skill, talent, or taste.
0:41 is the tone I'm striving for
Next level chug status
*next level CHUD status
The fact that I accidentally found Ola Englund in the comments of some total shit show with the ultimate “guru” of tube amp tone sitting next to this guy. Trolling with Ola. TrOlLa lol. Love your show and your music too.
Ola, please recreate this.
Striving for the tone at 0:41….see you in 10 years 🤘 *belch* 😂
I love how the dude in the background busts out all those bluesy jams, completely unfazed by the sonic violation that's happening right in front of him
Yeah hahaha
you know who that is right?

Possibly the best videos on youtube. period. almost 10 years later I watch this and still laugh hysterically.
Same here!
I also watch Henry's videos just so I can read the comment section, guaranteed to get a laugh out loud at least once every video, lol.
15 years ago, Still it.
yes!!
Sounds like he has a dialup internet connection coming out of his amp.
Some actual guitar notes come out at 0:36 - 0:38 .. it's as if they are saying "Help!! I've been taken over by the ear rape demons!"
I almost fell off my chair I was laughing so hard when he hit the "chord" at 00:42
It sounded like a terrible fart and he jumped up to accentuate it!
That's a hilariously-disgusting chord sound!
"And this effect sounds like when the anesthesia wore off during my vasectomy."
Did he just call it a "wang bar"?? I'm having a hard time believing this video is for real.
Yes and apparently demons are grabbing his.
I thought this was a 'Henry Kaiser Shreds' video but realized every video is a Henry Kaiser Shreds video.
I am sitting here trying valiantly to not laugh, but I am instead snorting and making weird choking sounds.
wang bar. wang bar. wang bar.
is uncle Ben bored too?
+TXRD2DORORO bored/confused/don't care.
I've never heard a guitar fart until I got to :42. :O
Those did not sound like incredible runs
It gave me an incredible case of the runs.
well. yes... if one with the word "runs" suggests Diarré. Like in: "I´ve got the runs". =)
"I didn't do it honey, HONESTLY! Some little demon and GRABBED THE WANG BAR and did somethin' INSANE with it!"
No matter how times i watch this i still can not determine if this a joke or was serious
it's both i think- he's obviously extremely fantastic as a player but i think he is also intrigued by sound and likes messing with it. he's frank zappa really.
this is really andy kaufman, right? come on!!
Template for all Tim & Eric material.
I always LMAO at this... love the 'fart' at .42....
No amount of effects can disguise such a cavernous lack of talent.
Very well put there ...hahaha
ok.
This video perfectly replicates the sound of a 15yr old getting their first $60 multi effect pedal

This will eventually break the Internet.

When he said “kinda a weird one”, I thought yeah no shit. Thanks Henry Kaiser for making me laugh, especially as you thought this was a work of serious genius.
I agree totally! I laughed so hard my stomach hurt my family think I'm nuts
Yeah you probably think it's funny because your brain is the size of pea and all you listen to is the same boring old grandpa rock.
This stuff is like...the introduction to a horror movie. I feel like any second, Howard Dumble is going shape shift into a monster and kill that damn noise.
"..in a musical way.." dear god.
This is pure comedy gold. If I had a spliff before watching this I think I would be crying with laughter.
Sounds great! '80s digital processors were known for their instant tracking capabilities; those pitch shifts are super clean and natural-sounding. Although, for much less money, you can get the same sound by punching a hole through your speaker with a screwdriver, then rubbing your guitar strings-down up and down against the front edge of the stage.

DickTruth I love you
It would be sounds great if he uses correctly
This effect does Nothing if you changes octaves speedly
It sounds like an angry mosquito
And he is certainly expressing himself where most guitar players are merely copying someone else.
"Demons grabbed the wang bar and did something crazy with it"
How many people here in the comments are actual musicians or guitarists? This dude knows how to play. Period. He is using effects to get crazy avant-garde sounds but he can absolutely fucking play.
3:26- 100 effects, and they all sound like he's playing through a potato. Amazing.
John Ucol is it a russet potato if so than it's great
Nope.
i had to give this video 5 stars, because for 10 minutes, beginning to end, I got the best laugh I've had in a while. It's just as funny each time I watch it.
Amazing how with modern music technology we can successfully replicate the sound of a dying cat have a fight with an old dial-up modem. That's useful.
0:41 - That's all there is to say...
at 0:42 you can literally hear the guitar voiding its bowels in disgust
*THBPTBPHTH.* [Look of satisfaction on Henry's face]
7:40 *in Henry's head*
"You're Knopfler, baby. YOU. ARE. KNOPFLER!!!"

"Wang bar" is also... just wonderful.. =)
You know it's bad when Henry says, "kind of a weird one.." after his own playing.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
'His grandfather was the industrialist Henry J. Kaiser. Kaiser Senior is quoted as saying "I wish I never had a son, so my son never had Henry. He is an abomination"'
This is straight from his Wikipedia page, I shit you not.
How to become a successful musician:
1) Inherit $50 million from your father
2) Play utter shite.
0:42 sounds like he is squashing a duck.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
A "Wang bar?" Dude, If you're gonna touch your "Wang Bar" go to your room and close the door and for gods sakes don't bring your guitar!!!?
What kind of dirt does this guy have on Dumble anyways????
I keep waiting for him to say "I've found something a little more interesing" and then he plugs in into a nuclear power plant..
I keep waiting for Dumble to kick over his overpriced amp, sock Kaiser in the head and start screaming "FOOD IS MY LOVER... FOOD IS MY LOVER"
You know he eventually EATS kaiser in part 17...
O my, this hurts my wang bar
0:15-0:41 is genius! 😂😂😂 somebody tab that out for the group...
Have a little more respect after I heard his music he’s not terrible he’s just into weird jazzy sounds.
The stutter thing is pretty cool when put into the right hands.
For example the solo for Pistola by incubus.
I like his silent assistant. Looks like one of Dwight's friends from the office.
LOL!! Silent assistant... That is Howard "Alexander" Dumble, the maker of all the amplifier/speaker cabinets you see in this video. If you currently owned and could sell all of those sad-looking amps, you could buy a nice house.
You have no clue who that is lol
How can Dumble stay serious through the whole thing?!? Amazing!
never imagined i would ever say that but dayum i would rather listen to bieber..
I've gotta hand it to them...it's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
And that's how Dubstep was born.
Strange video this one. He says some interesting things then plays utter atonal, random notes that sound like crap to back it up. The music that Henry is playing here is literally garbage and is actually embarrassing to listen to especially if he a professional musician. Guthrie Govan he is not!

I was able to get that sound from 2:00 to 3:00 when I spilt my orange juice in my atari back in the 80's.
:-D
IF this is supposed to be a video for Dumble Amps (I'm not sure if it is, though), then kudos to Henry Kaiser for having the courage to play some reeeally avant-garde stuff when demoing a 'traditional' expensive tube amp.
That's kinda cool if you ask me!!
I watched a video of a guy who had a near death experience, in which he described Hell.
Really close.
Puts Billy Gibbons to shame.
'i like to be surprised' exactly that
Imagine after you made this thinking it would finally die out … then youtube comes along and immortalizes you
3:40 priceless with his fucking yellow poster of effects
@Chuckjagermeister No, the amp designer is the guy sitting down, who actually CAN play
The rhythm guitarist is thinking "I don't know what the fuck is going on but at least I'm getting paid."
I feel bad for Dumble having to sit through that!
Doesn't give justice to his amps, (i don't think so)
The jump he does at 0:40 😂😂
Takes all the colours, mixes em together, makes grey.
The Yoko of guitar.
thanks henry. now i know what a baby in a blender sounds like
That cardboard sheet looks so fucking legit.
This guy is his own StSanders shred video.
"Henry Kaiser Shreds".
Ok. As a photographer I was already aware that Doctors wives should not ever be allowed to own or be near a camera.

Wow, all he's missing is a tiny embroidered vest.
henry kaiser is officially my least favorite person ever.
Shit I'm trying to watch these but my dog keeps singing along. He's going so hard I'm worried he's gonna crap himself. When he howls along with that high note I feel like the pressure will be too great and he'll rip something enormous for me to clean up.
BTW everyone- HES CRAZY RICH- His grandfather was the industrialist Henry J. Kaiser.
omg, totes need tabs for these licks
if i were henry, i would go to ALL of the local "blues society jam nites" all over the USA and sit in.....just for fun!
personally, i love what he's doing.......it's called "being creative"
And that's what the video was called - it was how to be creative and not sound like anyone else!
thanks for posting.
This must be what Kaiser does when he isn't smoking pole or cruising school yards for victims.
I feel like Henry Kaiser plays like some guy making fun of Adrian Belew's playing
Glad to be back here
I personally find this innovative. You could use these techniques in several different forms.
Yep. Too bad none of those forms involve music though.
Henry walked so mega church worship guitarists could run
I would rethink the "Heavenly" patch as X-Files
At first I thought this was one of those " (guitar heroX) shreds" videos. But alas, the truth is FAR stranger than fiction.
I'm amazed that Dumble doesn't wack him over the head with his Tele for giving Dumble amps a terrible name.
Grabs the note...moves it down. Someone grab his guitar and break it down..to pieces.
Thanks for a good laugh!
WTF?? sounds like a bunch of cats in a blender ........................
it grabs the note and moves it down, it GRABS THE NOTE and moves it down!!
I think a little piece of me just died...
“Demon…grabbed the wang bar and did sumthin insane with it…there’s no wang bar here but lemme show ya an example…” then 2:05 happened
this guy is the Michael bay of guitar.
Wow. Just wow.
Heh, this guy wants demons to randomly yank on his wang bar.
Anyone else sorry for Dumble?
He sounds like my 3 year old when I catch her playing my guitar!
poor mr dumble.. it must be terrible to see and hear one of his beloved amps in this guy's hands... :s
When you try to be as "out there" and innovative as Frank Zappa but you lack the skill, talent, and musical knowledge of Zappa, or even Bozo the Clown. Henry has always been proof positive that money can not substitute for a lack of skill, talent, or taste.
God, can you imagine being the music store owner that this guy irritated constantly?
i dont think demons want to touch his wang bar
That first part sounded like a dentist drill...fuck!
