The iPhone Guitar Solo - Oxegen 2010 - The Brilliant Things

[LifeStartsNow3DG]

That is so creative! awesome.

[lawnboyinthehood1980]

Nice makeup faggot

[st1353]

that really sucks!!!

[420Riffs]

fuck technology

[SvenOkonomi]

Haha I love the mixing together, somehow it just.. works! :D

[jump4h]

Jordan Rudess is the only man (er, Wizard) I know that can make this work.

[Mattbeatty89]

Very creative! Anything you can use to make music is an instrument, dont listen to all these weirdos, lol if there trying to say that the Iphone being used is an abomination to art and selling out to the corporate machine then playing anything other than an acoustic intrument that you like made yourself would be the same, we augment sounds and use controllers and amplify just about everything in our music, using an iphone is no different. So what app is that that you chose to use?

[xMetalUpYourA55x]

Search: "Jordan Rudess". Nuff Said.

[creeker1988]

Fake and gay. He's really looking at porn.

[DylanHayMusic]

Sounds nice :)

Seriously don't think there's anything wrong with it, I've thought about doing it myself, if only I could afford an iPhone. If he'd played it on an actual synth no one would've said a word against it.

[mohdhisyambabdrazak]

This band must be better than the band Terrible Things.

[mssinatra]

Now why does that guy look like ray liotta

[sinchydogtrainz]

i think that dude is checking his facebook in a middle of a concert

[flint1969]

lame…

[64revolt]

congratulations, you are officially a douche.

[MrAdammassacre]

nice guitar :D

[hshugos1]

lol ... a truelly shit

[guitardeck]

sound like map of problematique

[armednation]

i hope no one would call him...

[DoubleDJGeek]

Just messing about guys -.-

[j1979c]

Ridiculous.

[jipidibipity]

music has no limits. virtuosity has no limits.

[BeardlyJenkins]

You have got to be kidding me

[AdamW69612]

Kinda weak, use a Keyboard! Then you get to do the power stance!!

[elcapcanalla]

me gusto.. le da otro tono a la musica en vivo

gracias steve jove por tanto :D

[HighKingTurgon]

This is fantastic! Who knew that the iPhone could allow someone to play lead guitar and rip out a keyboards solo in the bridge?

[MetalDallas]

...Cause he can't play a solo on a real guitar

[ugotdafunk]

Nice work. Experimenting is good. Not only can you have your guitar but have any amount of sounds on a iphone attached to it. You must love doin that at gigs. Anyone who cant see the benefit of this is just bein closed minded, if they just want guitars they should go listen to punk. Keep it up. :)

[athenis1000]

he left the Gibson to play with the iPhone? EPIC FAIL

[drastisgr]

Only the i-phone attached to a guitar,makes me cry....

[drastisgr]

Only the i-phone attached to a guitar,makes me cry....

[u2mixer]

Hey, I like the idea - thinking out of the box...maybe it's an Apple box but ;-)

If the GREAT David Bowie can use a stylophone to experiment with then why not this!

[KlimovaInna]

Technology is good...but use it even in concert...I don't think it's good. I like real guitar more

[xxxtian25]

Nice. People who disliked this video doesn't know anything about music.

[eskinderg]

he plays better on the iphone than his guitar

[ThomasOtten1]

This just means he sucks at playing the guitar or he is a huge nerd and wants to share it with the world..

[AGWStudios]

not a brilliant thing...

[trentboswick]

Technically not a solo either as he was not playing SOLO

[dejffjed]

Is that a joke? You played live in front of people and used iPhone to play guitar solo even though you had actual guitar around your shoulder? Well, If I would there under the stage I would be very, very, very disappointed...

[Uberslime]

Lazy shit, why don't they just record the whole song and play it live -.-

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@Uberslime did that too , not much fun....this was fun.....we have done lots of things ....you should try it

[ThisIsSamhat]

CLAMCASE.COM

[MrSuperClassic8]

what's ist the Name from this app ?(:

[Asc3ndans3y]

wouldn't that be a keyboard solo??? the app looks like a piano at 0:21

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@Asc3ndans3y ...your right ....the app is a synth keyboard, the solo used to be played on guitar....

[rockstar89]

Ok, that was completely uncalled for.... you can hit me back on a video of mine if you'd like.. Srry, I sometimes get carried away when I find repeating themes, like the overly done Auto-Tunes vocal technique some artists have used.. I wasn't meaning to be a Grinch...I hope you understand..

[rockstar89]

I think Gerard Way is calling ya, good thing your always able to answer! Even in a show, so pick up, cause he's probably looking for his double in a movie of the Black Parade Experience.. haha, just messin, actually not bad for an innovation (plus) Creation... Maybe, who knows, you'd might be on to somethin'

[TheSuperiorJam]

and then he gets a phone call from his mother lol

[HandicappedWalrus]

I have the same guitar as him. But why must it be used for evil!?

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@HandicappedWalrus . i doubt it dude , it may look like a Gibson les paul studio , but the neck i made of ebony , the pickups are hand wound custom , it has a fernandes sustainer , and a fishman acoustic emulator pickup built into the bridge , and wired to play out to a stereo jack custom blend pedal ....the ratio of the pegs has been changed also, .......i also customised a roland midi trigger unit for the guitar .....

[Blokhead101]

Fake guitar app, gey solo.

[MrAmauriz]

too gay+ridiculous+notrealmusic...­is that justin bieber? hahahahahahahhaha

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@MrAmauriz , Your entitled to your opinion dude...but music is subjective , and thankfully we get to do something we love and make a living , we experiment with different instruments , and believe it or not an iphone is one , and the app worked great apart from a little freeze.......as for justin beiber , he is not our cup of tea , but entertains lots of people, and probably makes them happy.....and in the grander scheme of things...whats wrong with that....

[MrAmauriz]

@THEBRILLIANTTHINGS Nothing wrong at all...but if you want to see what really is experiment new instruments check real music like nine inch nails or trent reznor my friend that is try somenthing new, but im shure that mtv and the amazing media gonna love your work...good luck

by the way nice try.

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@MrAmauriz ...Dude , with all respect , we are big fans of bands like NIN and creative visionaries like trent ....you assume to much and have manifested a profile of who we are and what we do , and it seems you got that from a 30 sec clip , of a show on a stage sponsored by a mobile phone company , it was a bit of experimental fun....

[c0i5a]

man, its great, its easyer than usin a midi controler and its preety cool. geek rocks. keep going.

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@c0i5a thanks dude , the iphone or app did freeze for a split second when using the the pitch bend , it may have been a 2 finger thing , but the update of the app seems to have fixed it...

[Blokhead101]

Fake n gey

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@Blokhead101 What makes you think its fake......and what is gey?

[maximvint]

perverse

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@maximvint ....wow ....perverse....relax dude , we were playing on the vodafone stage , so we thought why not use a mobile phone through in the set...its was a bit of fun ....are you familiar with that .....if it makes you feel better , we do play real instruments too , well we do plug them in , is that cheating!

[Segrare]

Dream Theater were the first band to release an album with an iPhone solo, and their keyboardist Jordan Rudess has developed his own app called Morphwiz. I don't get why people complain about this sort of stuff. It all adds to the sound and live performance. I think it's brilliant!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@Segrare ...thanks for the info , just spent the day playing with Morphwiz , i love it ....i had been looking for something like this for a while

[MrAmauriz]

@Segrare you got your point, no doubt about that, but you really should use your guitar instead of the iphone...companhies like that just want to bring they digital cancer into music to make money THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ART believe in me...your guitar would have sounded 30.0000000000000000000 times better. ill check your work properly don´t worry.

cheers mate

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@MrAmauriz .you know what ......your right.....

[guitarfreaky1996]

dumest thing ever..

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@guitarfreaky1996 ...A bath toaster .an underwater kettle, a non capcitor solar powered torch, invisible makeup, high visibility underwear , a reusable coffin, a glucose based insulin, a wooden magnet, a braille TV

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@guitarfreaky1996 ...A bath toaster .an underwater kettle, a non capcitor solar powered torch, invisible makeup, high visibility underwear , a reusable coffin, a glucose based insulin, a wooden magnet, a braille TV ..lol...i dont know why i bother

[jade616]

Cheaper than a Chaos Pad.

Way cheaper than Muse.

Rip offs. :D

[masoudnima]

awesome man

[OdeToMelancholy666]

that's sucks!!! where is the guitar solo???

[sKunKeNsTeiN]

someone prank call him

[KaiNogard]

seriously, WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!

good bands dont use shit technologies and make the music sound good with proper guitar and not some fake sound with bullshhit effects.. seriously, if this is gonna continue like this, ima go kill people, every person who has iphone or anything to do with I stuff.. >;C

ffs... grow up people and play music how its ment to be played

[FerchoMusiic]

guitar solo? more like a gay solo!

[OGMERDER3R]

omg im totally gonna do that

[TheTombolger]

Well Marie and Greg.Remember Ferrycarrig??

My claim to fame is i shared a stage with Greg years ago.(Kilkenny)

Taught you all you know.Got this feeling lads your gonna be huge.

2 lovely people in a mad business.

Dont forget me and i will send on something to the adress you gave me.

Tom

I also contacted you from my son Kevins Youtube account.

Tke Care.

[EFK76]

cool jacket fuckface.

[1989warren]

Really cool use of the Nlog app.

[dylanrevisited]

soooooooooo gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[m1a2k3o]

mraak I have SOMETHING TO SAY to you. BUUUUUUURRRRRRNNNNN!!!!!!!

[mrcherrytits]

I'd laugh if he got a phone call in the middle of it.!! XD

[mraak]

how gay, they wanted to make the news with this cheap trick. too bad, as the singer is really hot!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@mraak lol...yeah this make the news , i don't know what news you watch .....relax dude , we were playing on the vodafone stage , so we thought why not use a mobile phone through the set....and yes our lead singer is hot , so is our bass player...but its not like we would use that cheap trick to get you interested .....oh look at that, it worked ...thanks for your comment

[Scoob505]

@THEBRILLIANTTHINGS You guys win, don't mind that tosser.

[haxer69]

@THEBRILLIANTTHINGS :26 Hot singers dance like this? Also she isn't.

[outsource]

@mraak, what are you talking about??

That was an excellent idea. He's using the Nlog, synth. Its a real complex high quality virtual synth just like any other computer vst instrument. Its music, there are no rules. He's obviously a real guitar player but he just wanted to add some synth elements in the tune.

Nice work!!

[ROGEBRASIL]

RIDÍCULO, SEM NOÇÃO, BREGA DE MAIS!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@ROGEBRASIL Obrigado pelo comentário

[mustsilm]

cool

[arbourizona]

puts... que cara mais sem base!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@arbourizona obrigado!

[Burkaz0id]

Have to laugh at people saying this is a gimmick. God forbid bands use technology.

More of this sort of thing! (and it isn't AT ALL lazy)

[lordcroesus]

What a gimmick. That was hardly a solo.

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@lordcroesus ....true a solo would really be just the iphone itself ....but that would be boring

[newfolder2net]

close to idiotism ..... music also

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@newfolder2net yeah ...pretty cool alright....

[newfolder2net]

close to idiotism

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@newfolder2net ....yeah we are very proud

[plazmatyk]

@THEBRILLIANTTHINGS excellent response. thumbs up.

[ShaneVetter]

watch the app crash haha

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@ShaneVetter ....well spotted shanevetter , the mod wheel would not move when it was suppose to....it took a second go...it kept happening durning rehearsals to but if you shake one finger and tap again it works...

[steve17101980]

Shit cool !... but is this real ?... is its real shit cool

[jimser86]

@steve17101980 yeah!! i saw it live at oxegen! was absolutely brilliant!!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@steve17101980 yep its real....we have both the guitar and iphone patched through a boss line selector pedal then a MXR compression ,...., then straight to amp..... glad you liked

[finpank]

Yeah I liked it. Nice one for getting on the vodafone stage too.

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@finpank thanks finpank

[MisterAfroman]

i neverheard of youse till that today...you guys pretty good :)

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@MisterAfroman Thanks MisterAfroman

[jimser86]

This is fantastic!! Thanks for the link above to the full song free!! Guitar solo is great, as is after you finish using it! Would love to see more from you guys!!

[TheGuitarfreak1212]

THIS SOUNDS AWESOME......anyone know what app

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@TheGuitarfreak1212 its an app called Nlog

[oisint2]

meh

[NeilsBlues]

Next thing we'll have will be Bands at festivals actually playing Guitar Hero on stage....

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@NeilsBlues That would be awesome ;-)

[trollfinger]

@NeilsBlues

It's just a kaoss pad. You can buy them for instruments anyway. Whoever this guy is, he's just being a poser.

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@trollfinger ...ye we have a kaoss Pad too....we just can emulate that sound with it though...thanks for taking an interest..

[neveronyx]

@trollfinger no it isnt a kaoss pad YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING SPASTIC ITS AN NLOG SYNTH SO STOP ACTING LIKE A SPASTIC SPA AND JUST FUCKING FUCK OFF K?????

[trollfinger]

@neveronyx

You need to relax. Take a look at your life....and end it.

[neveronyx]

@trollfinger LOL U ARE SPASTIC U NO DAT?!

[trollfinger]

@neveronyx

I had to lower my mentality to understand what the fuck you were trying to say. So yeah, I was a spastic for a brief moment, just trying to understand what the hell you were saying. Try some self reflection on that and see how you feel.

[NeilsBlues]

Why are they removing comments? Cant take criticism?

Im all for doing something different and innovative, but this is just a lazy gimmick rather than learning their art and playing the instrument correctly... its pathetic!!!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@NeilsBlues Don't take things so seriously it was only a bit of fun! We played "proper" instruments for all our other songs, you'll be happy to hear :-) We just wanted to try something a little different because we were on the Vodafone stage this year.

(and I wish it was lazy, you have no idea how long that took to agree with the festival organizers, practice, rig up and time!!)

[WestlandStudios]

@NeilsBlues how can you call it a lazy gimmick ,its a synth going through an amp, if he turned to a keyboard would that be lazy ....that solo would sound crap on a guitar anyway.... i think it sounds amazing.....if there were more people like you we would not have bands like pink floyd ,david bowie , finding cool sounds and using them ....your an idiot afraid of change....

[saaamysaaaywhaaat]

@NeilsBlues just doing something different like.....pleeeenty of people play the guitar not as if its guna die out

[ptanham]

That looked amazing!

[eananpatterson]

F%$^ing awesome!!!

[THEBRILLIANTTHINGS]

@eananpatterson Thanks!

[onureemus]

wow!

thats well done
