Bleeding ear was after. Shaking shelves was after. The people putting in their earplugs was actually during the performance (which caught us by surprise...it was almost too perfect).
Finally saw Boris live a few weeks ago. Wata truly is a guitar goddess. The way she played seemed to effortless, like she was born with that guitar in her hands.
HHHHHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAHAH . There´s Robert Fripp laughing as he records another daft version of some pop tune with his Pop wife Toya specially for youtube .
Love how Wata just gets up there and plays those sounds.. so enigmatic and beautiful. I saw Boris a few years ago in Edmonton.. Incredible.. Lost my favorite leather jacket in the pit that broke out there.. R.I.P jacket and FU Dominator.. Where the hell are you, man?? Farewell..
That's because nothing amazing is happening. I like Boris (and boris), seriously, but anyone who has ever tried playing guitar for more than 3 weeks can do this.
@@RaduAdrianPopescu doesn't mean you're any good tho, as can be seen from you bitching and not showing anything you've apparently played and are apparently so good at
Mike Koenig don’t confuse “technical wankery” with talent. There is a difference. Technique is impressive, and so is a ton of super flashy shit, but he’s making the statement simply that when it comes down to it, you don’t need flashy techniques. Just pure sonic power.
except for her carefully curated set of electronic filters and loopers and pedals. Here she is describing her setup. th-cam.com/video/t31quRno7Dc/w-d-xo.html
Probably the best female guitarist playing since Poison Ivy retired, and SHE IS GOOD. As for the "fake" shaking and bleeding,only a little hype there - I would recommend any newbie going to hear Boris bring real ear protection - their sound is so loud (and clear) live it feels like a semi-solid. Banzai, Wata!
I seen Boris live just the other night gone, Newcastle University. Absolutely brilliant! And yes, that number of Orange amps and cabs, with a couple of Sunn Model-Ts, are all live.
Love this!! I have been into Boris for some years now and I love the sound they have. I would love to see Wata and Justin Broadrick perform together. That would be an awesome doom ambient experience! Sound crusher!!
If enough people were like you, and realized that their personal taste was not a subjective yardstick of worth, and exhibited respect for other people's tastes, I think it would tear a hole in the fabric of the universe, and the internet would cease to exist. Props, brother.
Esto me recuerda lo que una vez dijo Poison Ivy, la guitarrista de The Cramps, que decía que a ella el único tipo de guitarristas que le interesaban eran los que sonaban "amenazadores" no el interesaba ni la técnica ni el virtuosismo, sino que cuando agarraran su guitarra produjeran un sonido que tenga ese característica de peligroso o amenazador esa parece también a mí que es la esencia del rock, y Wata tiene eso definitivamente.
Seen them live and yeah they’re worth every penny you have no idea what to expect and they’re so goddamn loud they make a concrete floor vibrate it was insane They aren’t a doom band they have some doom songs but when you see them live it’s mainly fast paced songs and they switch song to song with no damn pause unless to tune Wata is the most adorable person live she just stands there and shreds like it’s nothing while bobbing her head left and right like it was surreal One of the loudest and heaviest bands I’ve ever heard and it’s a bunch of skinny little Japanese people Hell their music was so intense they had to swap drummers mid set cuz the first guy played nonstop thrash metal songs for 30 minutes straight
Wata-san is an incredible guitarist. Just incredible. Saw Boris the first time at the Austin Psych Fest and all I can say was, good thing I wasn't standing directly in front of the stage. Loud truly does not describe the level of volume at which Boris plays. Kind of like a semi-solid being projected off the stage, being played from a cloud of stage smoke so thick we could barely see the band. She's a killer guitar player - so what we need is for her to have Poison Ivy guest on a gig.
One line in every song is dedicated to a friend of his who he watched being shot down "remember Kato- no longer with us cuz he's disceased. [I] Seen him murdered in the street". Another line that hit me hard: "last night my buddy lost his whole family, it's going to take the man in to conquer this insanity".
I was literally in criminal records yesterday when I went to see Ariel Pink in Atlanta, great store ton of records and cassettes although I feel like it is a hipsters shop and you can get cheaper vinyl down the road at wax n facts
Ah - so they are, weird choice/setup though - the two heads in the hardest position to get to (to dial in) and are also out of frame for most of the clip.
They probably gave them out in the store because itd be a liability if they got hearing damage from a surprise show they werent aware was happening. Idk why im saying this to you though because you commented this 7 years ago
Rap is different than classical but that doesn't mean both aren't good in their own ways. Actually, listening to differing styles makes me a better musician I think. If I should shun rap I shouldn't I also shun country and the heavy metal and acid rock I grew-up with? I decided to like what I think has earned my admiration. Isn't that somewhat simillar to what you've done?
Sunn 0))) and Boris did an album together where most of the songs are melodic and soft so I don't really know what song you're specifically talking about
Tone is king. Love this. If you love tone check out my favorite guitar teacher on the internet Eric Haugen Guitar. His "Ry Cooder Inspired Right Hand Boogie Technique - Rhythm Guitar Lesson" and "How to Use 6ths and Open Strings to Create a Neil Young Style Solo" are both great to learn from him.
I love how the other guys from Boris are just shopping.
I am not that familiar with them, but I suspected a couple guys looked like them.
so much aura
Bleeding ear was after. Shaking shelves was after. The people putting in their earplugs was actually during the performance (which caught us by surprise...it was almost too perfect).
"All metalhead girls play in symphonic bands and shit"
Wata: "Hold my fuzz pedal"
Finally saw Boris live a few weeks ago. Wata truly is a guitar goddess. The way she played seemed to effortless, like she was born with that guitar in her hands.
After many years of playing extreme metal I decided to become a drone doom guitarrist
Excellent choice.
Same here
Great job!
Exquisite choice sire
I would do the same
All these people whining about how she doesn't "shred" probably think Yngwie Malmasteen is the epitome of a good guitarist
He's okay...I guess.
"He doesn't have the soul" -Phil Anselmo
HHHHHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAHAH . There´s Robert Fripp laughing as he records another daft version of some pop tune with his Pop wife Toya specially for youtube .
It's funny because she also shreds face melting solos
Ok, but was it more than one chord?
Love how Wata just gets up there and plays those sounds.. so enigmatic and beautiful. I saw Boris a few years ago in Edmonton.. Incredible.. Lost my favorite leather jacket in the pit that broke out there.. R.I.P jacket and FU Dominator.. Where the hell are you, man?? Farewell..
Fucking pissed that I missed Boris in YEG.... 💔💔💔💔💔
😰
@ 2:27 I love how Atsuo and Takeshi are just looking at records, completely used to the sound. Like nothing amazing is happening lol
That's because nothing amazing is happening. I like Boris (and boris), seriously, but anyone who has ever tried playing guitar for more than 3 weeks can do this.
It's like saying ambient music is easy to make
Drone, though simple is a much more complex art than it seems.
goemon4 Do you play yourself, professionally or as a hobby?
Radu-Adrian Popescu huh, I didn't know that technical skill was indicative of artistic skill, or attention to tone, timbre and such.
@@RaduAdrianPopescu doesn't mean you're any good tho, as can be seen from you bitching and not showing anything you've apparently played and are apparently so good at
Now THAT is how you play guitar. No technical wankery, just pure sonic power.
So talent is bad?
Mike Koenig don’t confuse “technical wankery” with talent. There is a difference. Technique is impressive, and so is a ton of super flashy shit, but he’s making the statement simply that when it comes down to it, you don’t need flashy techniques. Just pure sonic power.

@@abbynormalzThat’s an entirely different kind of technical from what he meant
That completely depends on what style you're trying to make.
kinda funny how many people have no idea what was going on there. I enjoyed it, And yes guys, Wata can "shred" Sometimes less is more.
And sometimes it's less. This is less. Way less.
@@nathanjasper512 she’s getting further than you i think
Saying that the guitarist of Boris is going to surprise you with a song is like saying a turtle is going pounce on you.
What exactly does that mean
the music is slow
The surprise was Wata playing there, you got it all wrong.
Probably the best female guitarist playing since Poison Ivy retired, and SHE IS GOOD. As for the "fake" shaking and bleeding,only a little hype there - I would recommend any newbie going to hear Boris bring real ear protection - their sound is so loud (and clear) live it feels like a semi-solid. Banzai, Wata!
+caribman10 yeah i think i have an eardrum spasm now because of their show..
Definitely bring ear protection. I was as good as deaf for a week after Boris. But I loved it.
i like a lil wiggle
that must have been fucking incredible
It's a wall of sound laced with a droning musicality, shaking records, and making ears bleed. The very definition of godly badassery.
Whenever I see an Orange amp I always automatically think of Wata
Aha! Now I know why she rarely speaks. She's deaf!
Bruh
That's a Master Shake-assed comment if ever I saw one.
That.. or she simply doesn't need to 🧡🎸
set the speed to .5 for ultimate droneage
***** im diggin it

Such an amazing tone. Great video, amazing band, killer amps.

Wata: one of the most (criminally) underrated guitarists in the world, bar NONE.
she's playing the drone intro of the feedbacker album... So there is a climax
Esto me recuerda lo que una vez dijo Poison Ivy, la guitarrista de The Cramps, que decía que a ella el único tipo de guitarristas que le interesaban eran los que sonaban "amenazadores" no el interesaba ni la técnica ni el virtuosismo, sino que cuando agarraran su guitarra produjeran un sonido que tenga ese característica de peligroso o amenazador esa parece también a mí que es la esencia del rock, y Wata tiene eso definitivamente.
To me, slower sounds heavier. Neil Young would love this
I agree, NEIL plays very similar with CRAZY HORSE, PSYCHEDELIC PILL is just one example
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 Arc (Live) is another one.
@@frdh1357 that one is pure extravaganza. But it's Neil/Horse,everything is forgiven
@@frdh1357 i love WELD
lol why are people disliking this, she sounds great
0:11 plug walk
Seen them live and yeah they’re worth every penny you have no idea what to expect and they’re so goddamn loud they make a concrete floor vibrate it was insane
They aren’t a doom band they have some doom songs but when you see them live it’s mainly fast paced songs and they switch song to song with no damn pause unless to tune
Wata is the most adorable person live she just stands there and shreds like it’s nothing while bobbing her head left and right like it was surreal
One of the loudest and heaviest bands I’ve ever heard and it’s a bunch of skinny little Japanese people
Hell their music was so intense they had to swap drummers mid set cuz the first guy played nonstop thrash metal songs for 30 minutes straight
Wata is so beautiful and so talented.
This is more about the feeling of the sound rather than the feeling of the construction of sounds.
“Surprise” performance from the band with the unsuspecting six orange cab stack just sitting there
I saw BORIS live in Boston - it was awesome!!!!
i love how no body cheers or claps for her at the end. just trying to process if they can still hear or not.
Wata-san is an incredible guitarist. Just incredible. Saw Boris the first time at the Austin Psych Fest and all I can say was, good thing I wasn't standing directly in front of the stage. Loud truly does not describe the level of volume at which Boris plays. Kind of like a semi-solid being projected off the stage, being played from a cloud of stage smoke so thick we could barely see the band. She's a killer guitar player - so what we need is for her to have Poison Ivy guest on a gig.
The cuts were shot separately from the in-store. But the performance actually was a surprise.
She walks away knowing she just decimated. Boris rules live. See them!
Wata is so rad.
i wish i was there :(
2:23 OMG I hope he's not deaf after that😅
And the guy at 2:52 definitely heard something like that before😂
1:36 Scott Walker records!
I love Wata ! 🎉
the wall of amps might be overkill for this venue if everyone has to put in ear plugs immediately don't ya think?
Atsuo & Takeshi just wandering around, browsing.
She's a living legend. ^_^
One line in every song is dedicated to a friend of his who he watched being shot down "remember Kato- no longer with us cuz he's disceased. [I] Seen him murdered in the street". Another line that hit me hard: "last night my buddy lost his whole family, it's going to take the man in to conquer this insanity".
You talking about 2Pac? What does that have to do with Boris? Lol
Shes so damn cool
1:26 - is that Ayaka, Tim Heidecker's wife from On Cinema at the Cinema?
+tarkovskijnoir There's definitely a resemblance, but I don't think so...
I just noticed this myself last night. I think it is her. It's in Atlanta where Adult Swim is located so maybe another bit of evidence.
Wonderful. This is what guitars were made for.
Haha the guy with the blood coming out of his ears is awesome!
I fuckin LOVE her. Goes to show BIG things come in small packages.
Love the limps looking up their next Dave Matthews purchase, while THIS is happening. Not even a clap. Beautiful.
Would that be the limps that are the other two members of the band and the store staff who were all in on the act?
Thanks to friends and family.
The two amps over Wata's head are both plugged in.
they shouldve done this in chicago. more than 7 people wouldve showed up. the store wouldve been packed
She is burning🔥
So good
No encore??!!!
This happened in Atlanta and I missed it!!
I love moments like this. 😎
That was outstanding! Truly outstanding...
Lol the recording is clicking and popping all the time, guess the volume wasn’t exactly record-store-friendly
ELECTRIC HEAVYLAND
Absolutely love it.
Atlanta!!
People casually putting ear plugs in with a slight look of fear in their eyes.
They were shaking the displays, and it was terrible in terms of timing.
Probably due to local noise laws.
A month away from seeing her. Can anyone recommend a wedding ring? Thanks in advance!
I was literally in criminal records yesterday when I went to see Ariel Pink in Atlanta, great store ton of records and cassettes although I feel like it is a hipsters shop and you can get cheaper vinyl down the road at wax n facts
Wata is a goddess!! >3
The word solo in the title is referring to her playing by herself not a guitar solo in the context of a song
2:24 I can just imagine this guy being chided by other dudes in the store. "WE TOLD YOU TO USE THE EARPLUGS, MAN" "i know, i know"
Looks like Casey’s from Order Of the Owl orange equip she is playing
Do they go up to 11 ?
Ok...oltre all' E minor conosci qualche altro accordo?
Those people are just standing around, if I was there I'd be so fucking excited to see Wata
Ah - so they are, weird choice/setup though - the two heads in the hardest position to get to (to dial in) and are also out of frame for most of the clip.
Hahahaha, awesome. It surprises me that people walk around with earplugs in their pockets. I wish that I had been there.
They probably gave them out in the store because itd be a liability if they got hearing damage from a surprise show they werent aware was happening. Idk why im saying this to you though because you commented this 7 years ago
Super kool
Love it🎸🔊💨🙉🍻
サイコーです！！
So it's just the upper amps being used right? I don't see anything plugged in on the far left and right. Is there some trickery I don't know yet?
This girl is COOL !!
i love this !!!!!
But what if you find the feeling of the sound annoying at best?
this is feedbacker pt 1 right?
I can not believe she actually made someone´s ear bleed. Her playing is really heavy and meditative.
his ears were actually bleeding? hahaha jesus christ
This man was actually taken to hospital for a burst ear drum. It’s not funny
Rap is different than classical but that doesn't mean both aren't good in their own ways. Actually, listening to differing styles makes me a better musician I think.
If I should shun rap I shouldn't I also shun country and the heavy metal and acid rock I grew-up with? I decided to like what I think has earned my admiration. Isn't that somewhat simillar to what you've done?
what's the name of a song they have where Wata sings and it's a soft melodic song... ?
Spoon?
Angel. It's on here, just search "Wata Angel" and it should come up.
Sunn 0))) and Boris did an album together where most of the songs are melodic and soft so I don't really know what song you're specifically talking about
Grant Gordon This is the song I was looking for, thank you
Boris is great.
They make music for people who like anime intro themes, but also enjoy Neurosis.
i guess i fall into that category
Fuck yes!
Jus' discover'd them in a record store that look'd like this 1. Pink was playin'...ask'd who the F?! Told & sold.❤'em!
Which says something about the residents of Chicago as a whole.
sehr cool...top sound...BORIS...
They were the loudest band i saw live together wirh fucking swans😂 they did a full FLOOD set. Shit wall rattling loud))))))
That was so fucking cool. I would have loved to have been there.
that stack tho 🥰
Fuck yeah! Criminal Records! I love that store. Wata is pretty awesome too. haha
Wata is my muze.
Perfect ❤️
