@@thewedge8823 Like she said in the vid, it's a really versatile guitar. You can get heaps of different tones out of it clean and it's also feels suuupper nice to play because of how light and ergonomic it is. So it just gives you a bit more bang for your buck, provided you want more than just a strat sound (which is gorgeous, don't get me wrong!).
St. V/Annie Clark doesn't need a "cheerleader"; IMHO Jack Antonoff only horribly enabled Annie, indulging her in distractions. Her earlier collaboration with David Byrne was worthy of her talents besides whatever "coattails" he provided. Her prior work of varied CDs with producer Jon Congleton stands far above the derivative "Taylor Swift" schlock Antonoff "curated" into Mass Whatever - so bad she put out a "piano version" follow-up that shows her talent without the crap. Congleton shaped her talent, which she has in spades. She came off her 'Digital Witness' world tour (of stuff done w/ Congleton) & got caught up in NY & Jack's capacity for shtick. Antonoff is the crutch - she doesn't need.
@@thecandyman9308 Thank you & lest you think I've a chip on my shoulder re: NY, I don't. I hear she's in LA more now (w/ film interest) & that music has brought Congleton there. Touring took its toll; she needed a base. [Sorry, not Dallas.] In one interview Jon said she was like Hendrix - needing riffs connected. Jack may be more 'cool' than Jon, but as the Beatles needed an 'adult' George Martin, the LAST thing St. V needs is to be Swifted. IMHO her music/lyric writing rivals some of the best teams; her playing & voice 2nd to none.
@@JP51ism Totally agree. If anything, I'm sympathetic to her going in the Antonoff direction. No artist is perfect and she understandably wanted some more commercial appeal. Did she find it w/ Masseduction? Don't think so, but I understand the want- need, even- to do so. I'm sure she'll make more great music at some point, while I'll make my peace w/ Masseduction as my Soft Parade of her catalog.
I try but I find her playing too uncontrolled and out there, basically I hate her sounds and playing most of the time, she is stiiff in her body and her playing and it just sounds ham fisted to me, she is original though, her voice reminds me of bjork and I like it but... Her lyrics seem to abstract and opened ended, I think that can be great sometimes but I don't particularly like the way she does that either. I haven't listened to that much admittedly but it don't matter what I think any way... Signature guitars is some thing I dream about though as a player..
Her guitar is a real game-changer. I want one.
but is it better than a strat though?

@@thewedge8823 don't ever compare start to this dog shit
I haven't crushed on an artist like Annie since the 90's.
Ditto
@@dustinstewarttexas it's her personality, plus she's 🔥
Please, show respect. Tipping my hat. I appreciate that women more and more entering the stage doing their thing.
Such a sweetheart
Annie is the best. She's one of the most important voices today. Don't sleep on St. Vincent!
Great interview
my new idol
The Emmy is cracking me the fuck up.
Why is holding a emmy???
Joan Cronan i dunnoo, as far as I know no reason. She does have a Grammy though
Maybe she nicked it. :D
Why not?
it's part of the image... like shades, you now.. ))
@@shaxan ha!!
7:50min He likes to chase butterflies? that is not even like an alluding metaphor. Shifting to the house of full blown into it.
Isabella who?
Isabelle Huppert
she dont know how big of a influence she is :,)
she looks like Coraline's other mother
6:40min: Not a contribution.
Her down-to-earth personality just DOES NOT MATCH that pretentious appearance, wearing sunglasses indoors, holding an Emmy Statue...
Maybe she's dressed out of character
she's honestly not really a down to earth person ahha.. She tries EXTREMELY hard to keep a persona around her. A lot of artists do though.
I think you are all taking this way too personally the Emmy is just a goofy prop
She's holding the Emmy as a gag seeing as she's never been nominated let alone won one. She'd be holding her Grammy if she wanted to be pretentious.
so brave! you can tell she suffers for her art.

Okay
She seems so pretentious
'Cuz she is, deal wit it
yawn. the sunglasses indoors are too pretentious.

She doesn't even know how to play properly the guitar
you don’t know how to speak properly the words
Ur just misogynistic
Guitar hero? Please. She's technically awful.
That's why musical geniuses like Sufjan Stevens and David Byrne and Dave Grohl wanted to work with her.
And what makes you think you have any credibility to comment on her technique lmao
Ur literally misogynistic.
@@NOPANCAKESONMONDAYS not at all true. She just has no chops. It has nothing to do with her gender.
lol. U are sleeping bro.
She's smart and gracious and even lovely. Such a shame she'll never have children, being a lesbian.
Bah! what? Gay couples have their own children.
...literally the dumbest statement
No way was this comment serious lmaoooo
Shame on you, for saying that, actually. Lame.
