I LOVE THIS SONG! It makes me recall my ordeal in 1998 when...my head exploded...I slapped it back...I made it explode a second time to release pressure...I slapped my skull back together AGAIN! I still own the green shirt I wore that night. I believe Colin Bowel lead on to the fact that you might hear of this soon.
@HastaEvents what a fucking monkey....plus go listen to pil instead of being a cliche sheep and listening to the sex pistols,you probably think nirvana are better than the melvins too....laughable.
@HastaEvents Bullshit. You can invent a thing or object. But good music is "created from stardust" you dumb fuck.....and not for the sake of fuckin money you sick piece of fruit.
After not hearing this for sooooo many years, well, I got tears in my eyes. I saw them twice in concert, both times front row. Playing in northern Wisconsin, no one knew who they were and so the audience was regretfully small. My absolute favorite band through all those years....and yes, I defended that stand! I turned hundreds of my friends onto Gentle Giant and now my children!
grew up on on these guys music and am dumbstruck at their originality STILL...but the drummer, weathers, was such a total goober but he could play such strange time signatures
Kerry Minear, the keyboardist, was every bit as good a musician as Keith Emerson -- better, perhaps -- but with less of an ego, I think. The things he produced with Gentle Giant were musically fascinating. It's really too bad that they did not get the recognition that their level of musicianship deserved, but I'm glad they're still available here.
This is an outstanding video of a really good tune. Thanks for posting it.
@Americant47 THANK YOU for being someone who wrote a most-liked comment that does not say "21 people are..." whatever, insert any kind of insult ^^ these are getting on my nerves from time to time ^^
@SigDrums Gentle Giant fans are actually so much more orignal than the dubstep fans. Every single top rated comment on a dubstep video is usually a repeat from another one. Every body seems to have the same thing to say. But for the past few videos ive actually laughed so hard at the top rated comments. i go to high school and just imaging putting this song and keeping it on would be soooo hard. people would try and fight me over it until it kicks in. man you made my day.
Whatever one likes Gentle Giant or not, the musicianship of this band was just overwhelming. Fantastic performances, free flow of ideas , all possible influence.
Yes, Genesis, ELP could be - at best - being compared to GG in this regard, though even their most "uncommercial" albums come close to GG "commercial"releases, Interview is being claimed to be one of such.
Of course GG is one of the most underrated bands ever - who the heck should have "rated" them??:))
@andrewrou Oh, right you are there, the band is REALLY one big hell of an underrated band, simply because sooooooooooooo few got the taste and brains to rate them :) and even of those, not all like that kind of music - tastes differ, after all...
@Americant47 - Good point, very true. The progressive scene with GG especially seemed to stoke the interest of very pretentious people, who saw it as a badge of hipness. The band was very good, but all the ceremony that went with it was silly.
Love it. My brother got me into them after he saw them open for Black Sabbath back in '72. I was such a fan that I gave my 5th grade teacher, who I had a crush on, the lyrics to Peel the Paint, passing it off as my own. Can you imagine what she must have thought? "Carnal grave, crawling smooth, open flesh and you must let him in....etc" Surprising they didn't send me to a therapist.
HEY GENTLE GIANT MUSIC FRIENDS THAT ONE OF THE BEST SONG S CLASSIC AND ROCK MIX MUSIC GOOD WORDS SONG A SUPER SONG FULL OF POWER I SEE GENTLE GIANT IN KÖLN SHORT CONCERT I HAVE NICE DREAM S AFTER PETER FRO GERMANY SUPER
Não tem como ficar indiferente ao talento desses caras. Creio, que inclusive, ele tenha influenciado Arrigo Barnabé naquele movimento contemporâneo paulista
Whoa, this is great stuff! I've been looking for some Prog rock bands to listen too, and stumbled upon those guys. They were ahead of their times, that's for sure O.O
@degree7 Thanks for the suggestions, I will no doubt.
When i come to think of it. I heard of Atomic Rooster way back in junior high, and didn't Soft Machine have Allan Holdsworth play with them long time ago?
Listening to Gentle Giant makes me feel as though I am being wrapped around many times in blankets of sound, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, sometimes red, sometimes green, sometimes so soft I forget these people are human, and sometimes so genuinely rough (not in execution but in shear musical energy) that I am reminded of what I love about Rock.
I hope similar sounds can stay with mankind forever!
i am 15 (13/01/1996) and i think this is definitly the best band (time keeping,musical structure,and many other things) and i just can´t understand how other people like those type of music (rap,pop,et caetera...) and im from brazil!
Should have been in bed hours ago, but I stumbled once again on a Gentle Giant thread, and it's so bloody hard to stop listening to these insanely talented and TIGHT musicians!
If my music ends up half this inspired, I'll die a happy man. And if there's a band out today remotely like these guys, PLEASE let me know.
@stryker1999 Listen to Yezda Urfa, and many other bands (Caravan, Unifaun, Dakota Dakota, UK, Ange, Ekseption, Le Orme, Wigwam, Renaissance, Triumvirat, Strawbs...). yeah
This music piece is nothing but the purest diamond! It left me speachless. Thank you guys, you gave me everything, you made my life nicer. God bless you thousand times!
@Americant47 i think you and i are on the same page. the point i was making is that personally, if i had to choose between vehement passion or emotional sterility, i'd opt for the former.
Gentle Giant was the greatest band that ever existed IMO. Their virtuosity was superceded only by their incredible music which the band wrote! Certainly one of the most original and inventive bands with mind boggling taste was Gentle Giant!
How'd they get the pitcher for the Athletics to play drums? Ha.....seriously though, this is awesome. Gentle Giant forever. I even like a lot of "Civilian", and that's popularly considered on the level with Phil Collins' solo work.
Nothing like GG. They have a place all their own in prog rock history. Yes did three amazing records; Close To The Edge may be the best prog record ever, followed by the worst-Tales. Genesis was good, bad good, bad, etc., all through the 70s, with a few greats. Crimson has In The Court, insanely good record, and ELP has a couple greats, but GG stayed consistently brilliant through ever record. Watch these videos-uncannily tight and virtuosic. Astonishing. Tightest band ever, I think.
@phairlever I have to agree with everything you said, except Tales. It may not be their best work, but I'm still amazed every time I listen to it. To someone who doesn't like very long songs it must be terrible, but I think all in all the length was fitting of the msuic. As a musician, I'm personally quite impressed by a lot of the writing and aragnement that went into that album. And don't forget about Relayer, too.
@Ollfie Hey, I just wanted to say in a roundabout way how I like this music a lot and that most kids don't appreciate this kind of stuff. You don't have to get all sarcastic on me. XD
@Kdragon32 No mate, when I was 14 in 1999 I listened to music from this era that none of my friends had ever heard. I know more 1960s music than my parents and they were actually alive at the time!!
It's funny... Even though the interlocking vocal counterpoint stuff is what always made GG stand out for me, I still can't help from quite possibly favoring this song in particular!
I like the overdubbing & wide panning of Shulman's singing on some of the lines (e.g.; 3:57, 4:09, 5:10, 5:22 & 5:27).
Amazingly great

Technically he's FAR better than Emerson and probably slightly better than Wakeman. He's a truly gifted player.

I was 14 when I knew them. Now I'm 16 and still <3 them.

@Kdragon32 No mate, when I was 14 in 1999 I listened to music from this era that none of my friends had ever heard. I know more 1960s music than my parents and they were actually alive at the time!!

It's funny... Even though the interlocking vocal counterpoint stuff is what always made GG stand out for me, I still can't help from quite possibly favoring this song in particular!
I like the overdubbing & wide panning of Shulman's singing on some of the lines (e.g.; 3:57, 4:09, 5:10, 5:22 & 5:27).
