I think you'd enjoy The Murlocs a lot. It's Ambrose's other band, where he sings all songs and play blues rock with plenty of harmonica playing. I'd personally recommend the song What If? as a starter!!
"Left the tap on, swamping out of the sink Left the tap on, agua flowin' in Left the tap on, blankets over my skin Left the tap on, wish I learnt how to swim"
I definitely enjoy live versions of this song better than the studio version. That being said, I still jam out to the studio version whenever it comes on!
A lot of the classic Miles Davis records were recorded in a similar way - record of bunch of jam sessions and piece them together to make songs/a record. The German band CAN, who King Gizzard are big fans of, also did the same thing to make their records. I can’t understate the influence of 70’s German experimental rock on King Gizz. It’s a big part of why I love them, they’re taking influence from bands like CAN and Neu! and putting their own twist on it.
Last year I decided to go see King Gizz in Athens, Greece, playing two nights back to back with different setlists. But a few days before the gigs, Cavs got COVID.... And they still played both nights with a live drum machine (mind blown! Huge respect!). The first night was more mellow and an acoustic kinda set. They unleashed it on the second set with a full on garage microtonal disco rave, and they closed with The Dripping Tab - that was wild, still my favourite version of this song 😂 as well as O.N.E. that sounded like it was meant to be THAT way
I think Calm Ya Farm by The Murlocs (Ambrose and cookie's other band) would make you so fucking happy. From how you've talked in previous reactions, you and your dad would (I hope) have a great time together with that album. It's psychy, it's country, it's bluesy, it's alty, it's 100% ambrose's voice, with all the harmonica and sax you could ask for. And cookie fucks those basslines all the way up 😤😤😤🙏
When this song first came out I wasn’t too hot on it-it’s just such an adrenaline shot. But over time it really grew on me. Kicks so much ass. Could have it go on forever
"While the song was first released on " _Omnium Gatherum_ ", an early version of the song was first played during the " _Fishing for Fishies_ " sessions, the song would be scrapped until after COVID-19 lockdowns were lifted, when the song was re-recorded and finished with all band members present. The band recorded an extended jam and then edited the best segments into the completed song."
You gotta introduce your dad to Ambrose's other bands The Murlocs. Plenty of harmonica and bluesy/soulful rock. Very different to King Gizzard, but still amazing in their own right.
I guess I'm sort of alone in this opinion, but I sorta wish you did the studio version. KEXP sessions are very good, but actual live sets they tend to play songs at different tempos than normal, and they always sound a bit different (I don't know if it's cause they are actually playing different notes, or just the drastic change in the mix). In the studio version I feel you can hear what every instrument is doing, it just seems muddled live to me. But in the end it's your call. EDIT: Sweet Ghost shirt, another killer band.
I agree. Should always be the studio version first and then you can compare the live versions to it. Straws in the Wind is a good example. It's incredible live, but I can't stand the album version.
Ambroses voice indeed is awesome, and i think this distorted fx adds to overall atmosphere and energy of the whole show, i think they all have that distortion effect on their mics, they have used vintage mics before to achieve this kindof sound i think, dunno if thats the case nowadays as we dont really get closeups on them. i think Ambroses voice shines alot when its present, theres an older track called cut throat boogie about Ambrose having his neck slit open by his friend by accident, its alot punkish and blues directed but it is awesome, it also has this very hard panning i dont think that there are any instruments in the mid section of stereo sound lol. he does play harmonica on this track too. i really love his screaming voice it sounds so powerful and stable unlike when a singer with a lower range tries to sing high raspy-screamish lines. listening to The Murlocs and King gizz got me into buying myself a harmonica heh. Stu once crowd-surfed during this track and told people to take him to the sea right next to stage, and then he got back on stage and continued playing, that was killer haha.
I think you will end up liking OG alot because it's just a collection of good songs without trying to fit a certain theme or concept. It shouldn't fall into the same trap of feeling too samey or one pace.
In my opinion, you should have watched the approximately 25 minute version with lots of banter from remlinger farms this year. But yeah this song fucking rocks anyway so any version suffices!
So glad you are getting into these dudes. They rule man. I think you have done one or two of their tracks, but if I can get you into the Psychedelic P*rn Crumpets, Jesse dude, they are UP THERE too man. Found God in a Tomato. and go from there. cheers mate, keep it up
Funny that you mention what's on their merch: they don't care if fans make "unlicensed" merch, so "Drip, Drip" is probably on a shirt made by someone, somewhere 😊
The Dripping Tap is hit-or-miss for me. Some parts are awesome, some just go on way too long. I really think you could shave off five minutes and come away with a better song. Excited for OG. It's one of their most diverse albums in terms of genre-bending.
The Dripping Tap is about climate change. Song has a lot more gravitas to it when I realised. The drip is slowing drowning us, and we’re running out of time to stop it or learn how to deal with it. And the suits are the only ones that can stop the drip/end of the world. It’s a bit of a comment around the paradoxical nature of the problem being that it can only be stopped by the ones who are causing it.

drip drip from the tap don't slip
"Left the tap on, swamping out of the sink
Left the tap on, agua flowin' in
Left the tap on, blankets over my skin
Left the tap on, wish I learnt how to swim"
PLEASE! When you get to Gaia, do the Highway Holidays version! You’re welcome!
Agree
I second this... the audio is (chefs kiss)
The version from the first Red Rocks run is great too
That one frame you paused on around 5:30 is exactly what gizz is about.
I definitely enjoy live versions of this song better than the studio version. That being said, I still jam out to the studio version whenever it comes on!

When Ambrose said "Best plummer in the world" he was talking about Cavs father that was behind the scenes iirc
Last year I decided to go see King Gizz in Athens, Greece, playing two nights back to back with different setlists. But a few days before the gigs, Cavs got COVID.... And they still played both nights with a live drum machine (mind blown! Huge respect!). The first night was more mellow and an acoustic kinda set.

yeah when you reach Gaia you gotta hear the Highway Holidays live version, will make you appreciate Cavs lol
I think Calm Ya Farm by The Murlocs (Ambrose and cookie's other band) would make you so fucking happy. From how you've talked in previous reactions, you and your dad would (I hope) have a great time together with that album.

Can't recommend this enough! Calm Ya Farm was my album of the summer this year (with 3D Country by Geese)
When this song first came out I wasn’t too hot on it-it’s just such an adrenaline shot. But over time it really grew on me. Kicks so much ass. Could have it go on forever
Love it
I was at this show. They played two shows that day at Red Rocks. This was the first song of the early (2pm) show. It ruled.
just want to say that I enjoy your reactions
👍
My dad and I are the same way. He introduced me to everything that defined him growing up, and I took all of that and ran :)

Best band ever. EVER.
the reason its shorter is because its a lot faster haha. Definitely for the better!

I personally prefer the studio version for just listening to at home but I'll bet this one was fun as hell to be there for.
"The dripping tap won't be turned off by the suits in charge of the world and our future's hanging on by a thread with our heads in the sand."

Yea ghost is another band I got into thanks to the fan base on YT…went thru their whole discography on here as well
@@rockdariff Hopefully King Gizz can make it to T-shirt status lol

Straws in the Wind is a good example. It's incredible live, but I can't stand the album version.
The "it's interesting to see what they do after Petro" comment while looking straight at the Han Tyumi Silver Cord sunglasses killed me

I think they plug their mics into guitar amps or tubescreamers for the distortion
You should definitely do "Made In Timeland" & "Laminated Denim" next. They're both 2 fifteen minuet tracks & share a concept
Hypertension could be right up @RockdaRiff's alleyway... minor key, it's got structure but also jammy in parts.
I think you would love Wizard Burial Ground by Umphreys McGee, would love to see you check it out!
I think you will end up liking OG alot because it's just a collection of good songs without trying to fit a certain theme or concept. It shouldn't fall into the same trap of feeling too samey or one pace.
got to see this live, the energy is otherworldy in that pit
Awesome! And Love the Tshirt
Those are the Silver Cord glasses! 3:20
I was there and it was incredible.
In my opinion, you should have watched the approximately 25 minute version with lots of banter from remlinger farms this year. But yeah this song fucking rocks anyway so any version suffices!
That's the best version ever, funny too.
You would love fishing for fishes if your talking blues rock brother
So glad you are getting into these dudes. They rule man. I think you have done one or two of their tracks, but if I can get you into the Psychedelic P*rn Crumpets, Jesse dude, they are UP THERE too man. Found God in a Tomato. and go from there. cheers mate, keep it up
For the next song on the albums, Magenta mountain they have a sick live version you should watch
Funny that you mention what's on their merch: they don't care if fans make "unlicensed" merch, so "Drip, Drip" is probably on a shirt made by someone, somewhere 😊
If you want a dead song that is not slow, check out Cryptical Envelopment, The Other One St. Stephen and The Eleven.
The Dripping Tap is hit-or-miss for me. Some parts are awesome, some just go on way too long. I really think you could shave off five minutes and come away with a better song.
Excited for OG. It's one of their most diverse albums in terms of genre-bending.

Magenta mountain in super different depending on studio or live version. If you are gonna do live, at least do studio first
