don caballero (live at fireside)

[thisistokio]

Don Cab 2 was influenced heavily by the short-lived Richmond group "Breadwinner". But this, this is just something else entirely...

[BenlikesPoo]

@thisistokio steve reich win

[BenlikesPoo]

fucking ones all of the place, yesssss

[cursedvanity]

uhhhhh damon che stretching....

[morongobob]

What a bunch of nerds. Love this band.

[deadathome]

after watching this again, i am positive i shot this video. how'd you get it? i don't care, that is not the point, i am just curious.

thanks!

[morongobob]

You should put up what you've got! They sound like they nailed it this night.

[cornsockgabz]

Metal just sux evry1, jus face it

[jyamma76]

Ian was influenced by minimalist pianist composers such as terry riley and philip glass.

[itto44]

the beginning sounds like Simon (the game)

[JimHarmatz]

this moron is a noisemaking turd

[justin2535]

ahh, its so hard to watch with the sound so off.

[shahlagoddess]

Sorry everyone, it was euphone that opened this show. Parlour is a band from my hometown, Louisville. Oh yeah Slint invented math rock by the way!

[theapc]

hmmmm... Slint were more post-rocky. But thats a pointless argument anyways. Let's just say they were bloody brilliant.

[orientalnegro]

Amen!

[shahlagoddess]

It was parlour that opened this show. Even though i was trippin balls i still remember this show. one of the best i've ever seen. Che scared the shit out of me!

[frankolantern]

wow the intro sounded like elephants dying.

Good song though.

[Muddleglum]

Was this the first Fireside show? If it is this was like one of the best shows of my life. It was the first Fireside show they did and so being also the first 18+ show they did in Chicago I think. I had seen them before other places but the energy at this show was above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. The crowd and the band seemed to be made of electricity that night.

[NotAPatsy]

I was there at that show! It was absolutely awesome! Ian was hopping around chewing gum and blowing bubbles the whole time. I don't understand how he was able to do that and still play all his intricate tapping wizardry... And The Fireside! What a great venue!

I miss Chicago!!!

[doncabb]

I say we take jellybutt out back and beat him with a pro-mark DC-10, that otta show him whats up!

[MmirrorismM]

Dang, Roswellsounds fuckin owned jellybutts retarded statement.

[ChetSon]

I 'hope that I'm not the only one who can appreciate this song!!!!!!!!! wow

111111

[icaledshotgun]

@ChetSon next time hold the shift button down while pressing 1 !!

[ChetSon]

@icaledshotgun Thanks for the tip  !!!!!!

[icaledshotgun]

@ChetSon hahahahahaha 1111111

[JacobCoventry]

@ChetSon u wish 4 years ago loL!

[jellybutt100]

lets take this guys delay and loop pedals away and see how good he is....

[Roswellsounds]

This is the way that Ian Williams has chosen to make music with the guitar. Do you know anything about music, and the relations between notes (intervals)?

It seems that you dont...

"How good he is?". I dont know what "good" means to you (maybe Paco De Lucia, or some heavy metal nonsense...) but your commentary is ridiculous.

Why dont you try and take away Kandinsky`s colour palette, and see how "good" he draws?!?!

Fade away, man... Fade away...

[arturobandiniti]

very well said, this is no dragonforce video

[ushdfgakjasgh]

fuck you and everything you believe in

[ushdfgakjasgh]

value of your opinion < nothing

[fartsnfire]

Ha! Ha! that is one of the funniest things I've read in awhile!!! You are correct!

[Marson711]

I agree with your statement but don't take a crack at metal; if it's a subjective opinion your giving (whether or not his use of pedals is considered "good") you should respect the individual styles of music that are out there and not discard them as nonsense.

[Roswellsounds]

Well said, mate. But let`s take a look out there... You might say that Don Cab`s guitar player can be considered as an individual. This is based in his playing style and his approach to music composition.

But when I spoke about "metal nonsense", I wanted to highlight the enormous quantity of musicians who play almost exactly the same music within metal aesthetic. It would be really hard to say the same about Ian Williams! It`s not easy to develope a personal style, you know. Too much zombies!

[Marson711]

That's valid and I do agree metal has alot of carbon copies of each other so it's easy to dismiss the genre in that way; I for one don't like 95% of metal. And again I am sure that there are people who play exactly the same way as Ian williams due to similar visions but he is pretty unique I'll give him that. Don't get me wrong I think don cab is sick but I'm sure there are similarities with other bands.

[cornsockgabz]

All opinions besides meidcal ones are subjective dikwaaad. You don't have to respect every type of music if you don't want to you pious fadge-biro.

[cursedvanity]

Ian Williams was influenced by hardcore punk and heavy metal: just listen to Don Caballero 2, it was more apparent during this time.

I should know, I'm the smartest person on the internet.

[yoshimipirate]

YOU'RE A FUCKING RETARD

[denolysias]

You're a fucking idiot. They HAD two guitars. He took on the role of two guitarists. Hence the pedals.

You probably can't even play, can you? Be honest.

[JuanPabl000]

yea, ive been using the looping setting on my line 6 dl4 delay, its alright, but im looking into a better looper, possibly the boss rc 20, im not sure yet

[Roswellsounds]

Dl4 is cool. I have one too. But, of course, one is not enough! RC 20 (or his big brother RC 50!) must be fucking amazing! Also, there is a new version of the famous digitech Jamman.

What can I say. Looping is a pleasure, and a fantastic way to expand one`s musical abilities. Of course that Ian Williams is a terrific example!

But not only technically. He is a great composer, and a very unusual one! Check, for example, "Haven`t lived afro pop". Otherworldly!

[djangoloughran]

damon's a fat bastard

[LazersFromJimmy]

whats the name of this song?

[JuanPabl000]

it is called "ones all over the place"

[LazersFromJimmy]

yeah thanks I found it in the end using the preview thingy on i-tunes. Doesn't seem like he does that intro on the record though :( I bought two akai headrush pedals on the basis of this intro!

[Roswellsounds]

Two Akai headrush? Cool! Are you using those pedals now? Upload something, man! =D

[HomebrewMelvin]

The little intro on here is also on a really good live recording of Don Cab from '01. You should look for it.

[shahlagoddess]

Does anyone know what show this was? was it the show the fucking champs opened? if so i was at that show, seems like forever ago. oh yeh i think euphone opened for the fucking champs. someone help iam going crazy.

[fartsnfire]

this is a show from I believe late july or early aug '00. at the fireside bowl and I think the fucking champs opened for them in oct. '99. dianogah opened for them at this show.

[Dusty1141]

Yeah he shouldve used a new name, but long live the don none the less

[braincell]

CHe is the shit

[TheIneffableMe]

damon che is the best drummer i've heard in my hole life.

[z00yorker]

i still prefer their new stuff to battle, i did not at first but it grew on me, and i have been a die hard don cab fan since don cab 2 so give it a chance :x

[boyvirgil]

when was this?

[BillyBoyGenius]

the best shit i have ever heard,

[fugbo]

don cab is a totally different band without williams. wtf was damon thinking using the old name. sure he is a hella good drummer but cmon.. it just aint the same band..

[KidKentucky]

One of the best live-acts i´ve ever seen! In Stuttgart Germany. Hope you´ll come again

[zeroXcrossing]

Damn! I'd hate to be the drummer for that band!

[julianbh]

i'd love to be the drummer for that band!

[TheIneffableMe]

i'd love you if you'd play like the drummer of that band

[gsiddarth]

They write new ones, the new cd's called World Class Listening Problem, google it for reviews and whatnot. I like it quite a bit, but I'm a bit partial to the, new Don Cab, so my judgment might not be the best.

[gsiddarth]

Haha, beautiful, my guitar teacher's the guitarist of Don Cab.

[gabeltron]

ian williams gives guitar lessons?

[gsiddarth]

Jeff Ellsworth gives lessons, he's the new Don Cab guitarist. The only original Don Cab member is Damon.

[gabeltron]

do they write new songs, or do they only play old don cab tunes?

[thefalloftroy24]

Ian Williams left Don Caballero and is now in Battls. They're really really good though!

[arturobandiniti]

naaah

[saddylicious]

damon che is gawd like.

[evange03]

anymore footage

[Gmanrus]

pure genius i tell you.

[coitalcephalgia]

Loved it. Got any other clips from that show?? I can't find the damn torrent for it...

[drtymac]

Damon is sexy as hell.
