White Out with Nels Cline Live at Tonic

[loopbasedzero]

it's just music, neither good nor bad - it just is

[braddyboy82]

Absolute garbage.

[cowboystitching]

Is that Masami Akita?

[bcoffelt1]

This kind of reminds me of the ambient sounds of the movie Eraserhead.

[trojanlol]

ahah, this movie is freakin weird, it just scared me ^^

[capnmcfluffy]

i cannot explain why i enjoy this kind of stuff...this is my one issue with music, the fact that it is so broad and not even neccesarily pleasent.

also it's funny that i like atonal noise like this more than mainstream rap.

Why would you go out of the way to a guitar center and spend time watching idiots shit around when you could watch professionals do it for the same price on YouTube?

[progjazzfusion]

if you want to hear this kind of stuff for free, just hang out at your local Guitar Center on a saturday afternoon when all the kids come in. anyone can play with pedals and make noise. sounds like early pink floyd too.

[freejazzfree]

whatever progjazzfusion.. go listen to yer shitty records

[rasjvon]

you are stoopid..........guitar center is for gays

[dmarin1]

you're hilarious... nels and the rest of us don't make music for people as narrow as you. go torture your brain with your GC trips. the reason you think there's no difference between this and kids is because you haven't spent enough time with real music.

[TheDeLi]

Ahh, Nels is so good with the love ballads.

What a crooner.

[Jitpring]

Mere noise, not music. I know, this view is insufficiently "enlightened."

"Music must never offend the ear; but must please the hearer, or in other words, must never cease to be music."

-Mozart

[shellhartman]

Not insufficiently enlightened, but endorsing a completely outdated mode of aesthetics concerning music.

"The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful. And very shortly you discover that there is no reason."

--John Cage.

"Which is more musical: a truck passing by a factory or a truck passing by a music school?"

--John Cage

"You can play a shoestring if you're sincere"

--John Coltrane

[dmarin1]

those 27odd pages are pretty rad...

[Jitpring]

He appears to be being shocked. Get him medical attention immediately.

[DanyoSound]

Finally a video that captures the sonic essesnce of Nels Cline. He doesn't just play guitar, he plays electricity.

[whowasthursday]

Unfathomable middle frequencies and highs?

What the hell is that supposed to mean?  C'mon man. You're not a music critic.

[macabre2007]

Unfathomable middle frequencies and highs... nels and co conjour something otherworldy... shame they're not a local house-band - I'd surely be a barfly.
