The Oaf by Big Wreck

[dtongamusic]

This is a freaking killer riff. Kicks my butt every time.

[aco1224]

Great job Craigman!

[Hulkamania72]

My favorite song ever!

[BostonBeanEater]

Youtube really canned the cut where you played over the studio version? What a hilariously dumb and pointless rule!!Why not ban all covers together?!?

Grow some hair on your balls Youtube. Great performance btw.

[MrsFantastikxx]

Kinda like if you were playing Guitar Hero, but with a REAL guitar x) Expert mode of course.

[Mineav]

Very nice. You nailed it good.

[xxvanillagxx]

Did this classic justice. I guess the next thing I should ask, are you Canadian ? I only ask that since Big Wreck did have some north American fame though short lived. Ian Thornley and all his projects have had fairly good Canadian support, I guess what I'm getting at is not many outside of Canada know him to a great extent. By the way you should do something else by Big Wreck or Thornley. Keep up the fantastic work, I'm completely jealous of your setups and gear overall :P

[Craigman65]

@xxvanillagxx Yes I am. But I like any music that is good. I love all Thornley and would love to add another, but youtube will not let it load. I originally did this one with the CD in the back, kicked back. Found this live one and they left it. I also did 'That Song' and it's still there??????????

[xxvanillagxx]

@Craigman65 Found that song shortly after I wrote this comment lol. I agree though, I'll enjoy almost any good tune as long as it appeals to me on some level, could be the sound, the melody, lyrics, the singing, combo of all. Too many could be's that would catch on and have me enjoy a tune. That being said, I'm a huge fan of almost anything Thornley has produced in his career.

[sdnchicago]

That is some wicked bad ass playing my man. And I have loved these guys since I saw them open up for one of my favorite hometown bands-

'"The Why Store". Unfotunately-both are now done. Thanks for jamming it out though!

[johnnym815]

@sdnchicago Ian Thornley is still rocking it with his new band, "Thornley", and his latest album, "Tiny Pictures", is killer. Check it out.. And he's currently touring with the original guitarist from Big Wreck.

[PDXguitarfreak]

Of course... I can't wait for this stuff to get sorted out!

[bbdowns124]

@Craigman65

I don't understand - what did youtube do?

[Craigman65]

They don't let you load some videos if it's copyright infrigement.

[savagesnephew]

they delete videos because of """"copyright infringements"""" when people put music in their vids, which is a bunch of crap.

[pepp5150]

Nice!!!

[c4sb2008]

Good job! Do Blown Wide Open Sometime man!
