I know y'all hate it, but I kinda enjoyed this. He just rips it up sorta loosely. Maybe you need more of a jazz ear to appreciate it.
I also enjoy all the negative comments: Yoko Ono, C3PO getting raped by a toaster, making Buckethead sound like Mozart, the next piece is called "Audioturd", etc. All funny comments.
You know, being a Fred Frith and Nels Cline fan, you'd think I'd like this sort of thing. And I would, if it weren't for the fact that Henry is kind of a hate-able guy. He's kind of the epitome of the over-privileged guitar player. He sucks, no matter how good he is ahahahahah.
He needs to do some actual playing so we can actual base how good he is. If you go around making pterodactyl noises all your life and nothing else, that's all were going to think you're good at.
my grandfather always told me, and its been around for a while, "a poor carpenter blames his tools." Just because the playing and effects are absolutely horrendous, doesn't make the guitar less amazing.
@dtmd813 I was having a joke, I do like Tom Anderson guitars myself. Shame Kaiser didn't let the real tone of the instrument shine thru instead of all the effects.I know that Kaiser uses a ton of FX, but if he's showing off a guitar he should let it talk, not processed like this.
experimental music like this gives me a stomach ache. like that 12 tone scale stuff , and sprechstimme (speaksung opera). It sounds like a perfect representation of music in hades.
I don't much like a lot of Henry Kaiser's playing, but I do get annoyed by people pretending to believe that he can't actually play, when he obviously can. The problem is not that Henry is a bad player. It's that what he chooses to play isn't always that interesting. I quite like this, even though it's basically an exercise in dicking around with a ring modulator and a sampler, but he's played some incredibly fucking boring pub-rock in the past which is far more heinous than this.
this goofball should have some "how to make experimental musical noise instead of acting like a 3 year old with a new squeaky toy" lessons from thurston moore and lee ranaldo
@DerEchteBold The first sensible comment I've seen about this video. Unfortunately, Kaiser is too far up his own ass to really rock out a la Moore and Ranaldo, plus he tends to use very expensive guitars, so he's hardly going to start hitting them with drumsticks, etc. Henry Kaiser's fatal flaw is that he likes being 'weird'. 'Weirdness' is not something that anyone should aspire to being; it should only ever be in the eye of the beholder. Weirdness leads to wackiness, which impedes truth.
my god, he's discovered new tones never before heard! is there some way we can stop him from destroying all music? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't get it out of my mind or ears, please stop for the love of the sweet baby jesus
That was an excellent example of what not to do with a guitar. I have an Anderson and all I can say after suffering through that is I feel terrible for Tom Anderson.
Henry is King!!!
