I don't really believe in a "best" when it comes to music BUT if there were, Ian would be pound for pound the best guitarist on the planet. We won't even bring up how good of a singer and writer he is as well. Just my opinion, of course. ;)
For all you Thornley fans, listen to this song with your ear buds in... it is an ear candy trip into some surrealistic wonderland with hooka smoking caterpillars and all the accouterments .. giving us little nuances of squeaks, blips and pops in all the right places.. it’s quite enjoyable with or without your choice of altered state mood enhancer. 🎧😎🎸🎧
Hands down my favorite artist for a looooooooong time now. Endless grooves, harmonies, riffs and just all around kick ass, REAL MUSIC. Big Wreck till the end.
I own 2 Suhr Custom Extreme Antique guitars and just ordered a Hedgehog 50. i'll be very pleased if i can get anywhere near this tone live. Big Wreck is a killer live band!
Monty Cantsin I've owned about 150 amps and ran a music store from 91-2001 and worked at Sweetwater. (Just to say, I've played a LOT of amps!). The Hedgehog is my all-time personal favorite for everything but tight metal. It's just an amazing instrument and Ian makes it sound better than anyone.
Much appreciated. The amp sounds great in those clips. Seems like it has a very distinctive midrange frequency; almost a 'dry' sort of tone to it that I find appealing. I currently have a Fender Twin. Excellent clean amp of course, but I'm not getting on with the weird blackface scooped sound. I like the thick mids of the Hedgehog.
I was slow to warm to Secrets, but love it now. Great performance, as always. For the love of music. :) Looking forward to the other tracks from Suhr '16. Hope to see you in the States someday.
This is so f*cking good it makes me happy to be alive.
I can tell you that he was really loud in that little venue. Great night.

That's no opinion, it's fact.
You're absolutely right the best
Fuckin right on bro. Ian is God.
Add Richie Kotzen to that “best” list.

Amen brother
Goosebumps. One of the only bands left with actual soul.

some chords are failing my ears...... is this standard tuning? The chord at @ is giving me a brain fart. Any help is much appreciated.
Perfect description, surreal listening experience.....
I adore you Ian Thornley
Wow!! Just WOW!
Un-believable! Crank it up with headphones! 3 guys 1 massive sound......Awesome.
What talent, sheesh amazing stuff, love the Suhr shows their awesome........
My Favorite! Merci.
Jeeezzz the solo slays me every time I listen to it and so much sound from a 3 piece! Dang!
When Ian plays, I imagine Clapton when he first saw Stevie Ray. Who is that guy?! My highest praise, up there with Gilmour. Fluid, cerebral.
So much of his music propels you into that mystical, out of body space.
You get cool points for that, but you can just say Ian knows how to ripple the Soundwaves!
So damn smokin' good...
Well that was amazing dude 👍
Mesmerizing
Beautiful song. Reminds me of Men at Work’s “Down by the Sea”

How is the Hedgehog? It's on my wishlist. Every clip I've heard of the amp has been amazing. Is it just as good in person?

Nice! Thanks for the reply. I'm even more excited to try one out now.
i sent you a message with some recordings and clips i made if you want to check it out.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
I hope to God they get to San Antonio some day!
Brilliant
Ian Thornley is the best musician on the plant hands down. Can’t get enough of him. Wouldn’t be alive without his music.
Yup👅
❤
Who else is here from Michael P's live show with Dweezil Zappa? This song is epic
Rick and Morty me Back to the Future so I can be at this show - Damn.
Weltklasse. Danke
I here so much Eric Johnson here. Very nice.
I hear a bit of Phil Keagy in the guitar on this track. ❤
some chords are failing my ears...... is this standard tuning? The chord at 1:15 is giving me a brain fart. Any help is much appreciated.
Ian rarely plays in standard tuning
