Daniel Lanois - Orange Quay

[Drok333]

Dude! Tool totally ripped this guy off!!!

[Drok333]

I know I could never thrash like that I never would have found this if I hadn't of just watched sling blade and thought I heard adam jones (like rezner on social network) total surprise the guy has skill but I noticed "improvisation" But listen to tool's triad on lateralus I'm guessing a poor choice of words good artist, good freestyle cover?

[TheTriggerFlash]

T'es un putain de génie Daniel !

[msbfd]

That has got to be one of the ugliest guitar tones EVER. And he plays it like electric guitars were always supposed to sound that way.

Awesome.

Lanois is one of those guys (so is Bruce Springsteen) that needs to gobble a buttload of testosterone and make a "shut up and play yer guitar" album before they die.

[infamousinjun]

amazing song from a great movie. +1000 internets to whoever uploads a version in HQ

[tommythunder99]

Lanois is a master of sounds.

[georgem7]

i am greek but i can say one thing americans now how to make movies and music

[mattressjedi]

@georgem7

Lanois is Canadian.

[Sweettooth187]

Sounds like something you listen to before you're about to get into some serious shit. Gives me the chills.

[blagameow]

This song gives me goosebumps... love it.

[Suktankawin]

absolutely great!!!

[Bigsbeee]

This is up there with Neil's ' Dead Man' stuff.

I just bought an Orange Kay.

[WyzDat]

Classic, More Please

[85bpm]

A one man rock symphony!!! What a powerful performance. Thanks for introducing me to this page.

[Slapnutzmalone]

I am actually sharpening a lawnmower blade right now. And I aim to kill you with it!

[jabom99]

whoa

[ThePrudencedear]

Wow, Wow,Wow ~ I am completely impressed with your musical genius. Soul dude, This is a transcending piece of art ~ captured by a human heart. Fantastic!

[4Topwood]

I never knew before that beauty could claw at you.

[silverstartrucker]

Terrific sound.

[rafku]

fantastic video! by the way the song's called "Orange Key".. Saw it years ago on his dvd..

[javiceres]

I suppouse that's because the fuzz he is using is a Kay which is actually orange

[Abacus330]

Dynamite...!

[SONGABUNDANCE128]

Yes....a gifted Canadian boy!

[HiyaJambalaya]

So that's where U2 got all them sounds ..

[laidbackray]

This is so cool

[dubbedcrazy]

so damn good

[rohaihuparaguay]

The more I hear Lanois, the more I amazed I am, was listening just now to Sohno Dourado, and now this?, the man is a genius.

[curiousgeorge555]

Outrageous! Killer playing! ~cg5

[poptophop]

Fantastic. I have this on videotape somewhere. I would love to see this posted in an HQ or HD version in order to have even better sound. I remember it had an even more awesome sound - crisper and more dynamic range.

[abcforall]

The sound is stereo 44.1KHz 128kps.

[GEgloff]

@poptophop I have it on a Best of Sessions at West 54th St. DVD. The sound was really well mixed for the DVD. It's also got some other kick ass performances from Ani DiFranco, Sinead O'Connor, Richard Thompson and a bunch more.

[poptophop]

@GEgloff - I finally dug up my old videotape with this on Sessions. A little glitchy now years later (old tape) but still kicks ass in its wide dynamic range. I had fun playing around with equalizer settings while listening to this Youtube video. Amazing amount of layering going on for this live session. I recommend trying out the many preset equalizer choices in PC audio settings. They easily make this Youtube video sound better than the videotape.

[petti]

reminds me of Tool in some ways, creative stuff

[DviousBitch]

That was truly amazing!

[magmagod]

i knew that lanois was good from listening to time out of mind, but this is ridiculous. that guitar tone is godly and his playing is out of this world.

[ldleon05]

This video is beyond great. He has broken new ground. The movie soundtrack is good, but this is soooo moving.

[shortywiccanxxx]

man thats the shit

[mistamojo]

OMG... he is channelling something. Amazing improv.

[ledhead222]

the is the best guitar solo ive ever heard its amazing

[djspooky07]

absolutely amazing

[javiceres]

I´m gonna get P-90´s for my Les Paul. Now.

[pavetheway]

Fantastic !

[Jboneburnett]

this is an incredible video

[ldleon05]

Never heard of Lanois before, but searched Slingblade for this cut. For me it's the singularly most powerful piece I have ever heard. Makes Metalica sound like a hollywood band.

[yetialan]

Great comments I agree 100% awsome

[stigler30]

@ldleon05 they are

[uppastbedtime]

I love those lyrical little birdsong notes that peek out from that wall of sound. It's a woman thing I guess. lol

[javiceres]

Do you mean you are a woman? Listening to this ?!? Cool!!

[uppastbedtime]

Wow. Just wow. I'll be back. lol Daniel always draws me back.

[fsorrentino81]

Genius

[theconcertaholic]

This is why guitarists get up in the morning... well the ones that create like this anyways...

[pacovailoes]

the creator of the edge

[javiceres]

@pacovailoes along with, well, the edge.

[teamlock]

great sound!

[Slapnutzmalone]

incredible. So that's what a homicidal mental case hears while he sharpens his lawn mower blade? Sounds like what I hear while I'm at work... ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slingl3lizzad3]

lol

[lazychump]

wonder what his pedal board looks like for this track. just saw slingblade for the first time and was blown away by the soundtrack.

[U2kie]

The sound you're hearing is a pedal called a Kay Fuzztone. They were very cheap but good sounding pedals that are no longer sold. The fuzztone pedal was orange, hence the "Orange Kay" title.

[bananapple76]

Hey, thank you for sharing that little bit of info.

It's always interesting to learn this kind of stuff.

[bananapple76]

Hmmm!

My comment was supposed to appear as an answer to U2kie, not just after Slapnutzmalone troubling confidences... ;-)

Now, it looks a bit funny !

[U2kie]

No problem. :) However, the schematic is on the net. And funny enough, the schematic is printed inside of the original kay fuzztones. Also, it was so cheap it could be bought at JC Penney back in the day. ;)

[burlearth]

sounds like Robert Fripp.

[abcforall]

i love to see them together!

[Soh2k8]

That tone is just amazing! a true legend...

[Zombiehorrorfreak]

I could listen to this for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

[Noblefinger]

This sounds like a variation of "Orange Kay" off the Sling Blade soundtrack of which he also played

[gg41r]

Danny boy is a very under appreciated recording artist

[Bossman722]

God I love this

[vuduegg]

Is this the soundtrack to the murder scene in Sling Blade?

Awesome piece of music.

[abcforall]

you got it!

[chiron8839]

@vuduegg - If you get the collector's edition DVD (or Director's cut, or whatever it's called), there's a whole section about Daniel Lanois in the special features. He did all the steel guitar work in the soundtrack too. That DVD came out at about the time I had been using the film in classes for 5-6 years, so I had graded a few thousand student essays and lectured on it more times than I can recall. Great film; great soundtrack.

[chuckbiskits]

Long live Dan Lanois . THis is gibson at its best....I just love the sound of an older les paul

for a truly good sound try the 1979 les paul I think they only made a few hundred and then said the metallic paint caused a rare tone but if you like tool Adam Jones records almost exclusivly with his 1979

[dubbedcrazy]

numero uno

[cougarsteel]

Amazing...

[jongreek]

Yeah! I dig it. Have a heapin' helpin' of fuzz via Les Paul with P90s! Lanois says he does not use pedals much, btw, his sound is via fingers, amp (dial up reverb/vibrato). check out his new movie Here Is What is.

[slighe39]

I saw this when it originally broadcast, was floored, and have been looking for it ever since. Thanks a lot for posting it.

[CanadaJams]

... it's a pulse that draws you in, just love your performance... so surreal...
