The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt (Live)

[evxdaddy]

I've only heard of him 5 days ago (02/29/12) and my iPod has been playing his stuff on repeat.

[philipsmog]

I really like that bench/loveseat, wallpaper and lamp. This should be the backdrop to a series of singersongwriters.

[ChrisssThomas]

my ears just came

[ConnorKeyser]

such a fox

[championchap]

Whoa, check out the concentration in the last few seconds.. he looks exhausted by it!

Great musician!

[Vendelaz]

In love. <3.

[kflo716]

thank you annie v, thank you for introducing me to the best music in the world

[Cassie871310]

I have 2 of this cds in my car, my perfect driving music :)

[shag1988]

He looks like Raylan Givens from justified but with a butt chin

[kcirtapeimaj]

I LOVE HIS CHIN! And his voice of course.

[1001cloudy]

marry me.

[Shaboobuhwogan]

Does anyone know what pickup that is that he is using?

[gmonsterlovesoats]

@Shaboobuhwogan not sure, but its not plugged in. its the natural acoustic sound you're hearing. looks like it could be a fishman though. maybe a rare earth?

[saintlennon9]

whats it like to pick up a guitar, open your mouth and have this come out?

[briteshoes]

I have been listening to his music for a couple years, this is the first time iv seen him, I expected a much older man...love this mans music..brings out the sun even on gloomy days

[GoldenPants32]

The first song I heard from this guy was The Dreamer - I was sold

Then I found out that he was swedish - me to

I love him

[fionafizz22]

I wish he and Iver would do a song together, an album, maybe get married. I don't know.

[septemcygni]

@fionafizz22 yes yes yes exactly!!!

[geaneasis]

Does someone know, where I can get this Jacket?

[marcusdyer2]

shaq wishes he was this tall

[thinkskater195]

Fucking great! Great voice!

[JDvzs]

That's shitloads of talent right there

[uprwtsrule]

Mattson is one cultured mfkr. The line "Hell I dont even care no more about Cadejo now" is a reference to a traveller's myth prevolent in Central America, especifically in El Salvador. The legend says that there are two Cadejos, a white and a black one. Both resemble a large dog. The white one is benevolent and considered an omen of good fortune. The black one is a minion of hell... When I heard it at Coachella last year, I did a double take: This mfkr just take me back to when I was 5 yrs old?

[impala1977]

@uprwtsrule Thats awesome.

[KaleeGuenther]

I've never been so attracted to someone

[demonic177]

@SSoloman87 no thats just the tallest man on earth :)

its equivalent to a chuck norris effect

[SSoloman87]

New strings sound so fucking good.

[montanaswimmer]

The best part about The Tallest Man On Earth (besides how epic his music is) how overwhelmingly positive all the youtube comments are on here. I don't think i've ever seen more positive feedback on a youtube video. Such a beast.

[NoSoyPuroCuento]

Bloody awesome!

[bslz65]

Lykke li, tallest man on earth, OPETH?! IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE WATER IN SWEDEN? DOES EVERYONE FROM THERE JUST KICK ASS?

[GBGSKURT]

@bslz65 Yep, we pretty much do

[Camcrazy530]

@bslz65 Jose Gonzalez, Peter Bjorn and John, Tallest Man, and hot girls. Who doesn't love sweeden?

[toknowandgrow]

@bslz65

its the socialism

[crazyjay321]

@bslz65 Dont forget First Aid Kit!

[TheMagicMrRoyStaale]

@bslz65 Don't forget Jose Gonzalez! ;-)

[Hat2804]

@TheMagicMrRoyStaale Just wanted to say that :3

[ShamanQuantum]

@bslz65 yes

[Jonmad17]

@bslz65 Not really. You can name 10 times as many great British musicians, and many more great French and Spanish ones as well. Even Iceland has Bjork and Sigur Ros.

[WhimZo]

@Jonmad17 Your reply makes no sense. It's out of contex and only makes you seem like the biggest douchebag.

[Jonmad17]

@WhimZo It's was a silly comment on his part. MY GOODNESS, TWO GREAT MUSICIANS FROM THE SAME COUNTRY! WHAT DO THEY FEED THEIR CHILDREN? Tying talent to nationality is bullshit.

[Savingtheuniverse]

What kind of pickup does the tallest man on earth use?

[MatthewPietrus]

Kristain don' giva fuck. he's just being himself: awesome.

[TheTimechange]

and I plan to be forgotten when I'm gone..

[jobo4967]

Wow. An effecient economy, alternative energy, and this guy. The Swedes have their shit figured out.

[mfattey]

so many angries

[wagemnelle1]

he is so incredible.

[voidinggenerations]

"Hipster" isn't a fucking genre of music you fucks. So much stupid kids think they're cool because they shop at thrift stores that they think they discovered, even though they've been there for 50 years. Everyone needs to stop labeling things and just listen to things because there good.

[Ficzzho]

@voidinggenerations I love how your handle and comment go hand in hand. =D

[aiktai]

Sorry what I meant to say: The Talles man on Earth ISN'T trying to be difrrent from anybody on purpose. I'm European so probably in sammylife12 eyes burn hipster

[jnp600]

@aiktai of course he's trying to be different! how can you go far in music if your the same as everyone else?

you can be different without being ignorant :)

[snorvalp666]

@credencing WTF!! :D

[McLisaa]

♥♥♥♥

[credencing]

he's ... Swedish?? unreal.

[holmstromnj]

@credencing yess <3 haha you can tell Swedes usually from their nose and head shape.. (: I loveee Swedes<3

[hogler249]

@sammylife12 I will always feel sorry for people who literally have no sense of music and listen to what they're told to by music channels and charts. Tis' OK though, I'm sure you're a lovely person :-)

[sammylife12]

hipster shit lol

[antonantonantone]

@sammylife12 ?

[stayfreshvandalz]

@sammylife12 music is subjective, therefore you're argument is invalid.

[aiktai]

@sammylife12 Wel I think you interpetate the word hipster wrong. The word is ment for people who are trying to be diffrent from everybody just so they are cool. And hipsters are arogant and bla bla bla. But The Tallest Man on Earth is trying to be diffrent from anybody on purpose I think. He is yust making the music he likes and uses his own voice and hearth to make. Just because his voice sounds diffirent to you because you are used to justin biebers voice doens't makes this hipster.

[sammylife12]

@aiktai first of all your assumptions are wrong, and if you're going to act like a troll then you're free to leave youtube. i wasn't being serious at all.

[TheTelevisionRobot]

i will never forget how much emotion he puts into his songs

[jcaruso617]

My goal in life is to find a woman who loves the tallest man on earth as much as i do and marry her.

[Kushburnindaily]

i wish one day i could find a girl who loves the tallest man as much as i do

[MrShaggy1016]

Now for making me wait for my music steve bellone I'm voting for the ugly, funny looking Carpenter chick. But then again Simon and Garfunkel said it best, "Laugh about it, shout about it, any way you look at it you lose."

[ChingstahJJ]

@CrushedAria what the hell haha the album is as stripped down as it can get I'm even suspecting that he recorded voice and guitar both at the same time in one take

[CBodyofconflictG]

I'm 6'10 and deeply offended.

[CrushedAria]

I really do wish he'd record his music just like this - stripped down. The Wild Hunt is such a great album, but the overproduction seriously hurts it and prevents it from being absolutely amazing.

[CollectiveVentures1]

@CrushedAria Dude this song sounds EXACTLY the same on the album lol

[CrushedAria]

@CollectiveVentures1 nah, the album version has some seriously awful autotune going on in parts - it actually is so obvious 30-31 seconds into the song on the album it is BLATANTLY there.

[12345678910LILLI]

ofduhfngödfbhjgifogfjgfjfgji HE IS SO GOOD! I CAN'T BELEVIE IT.

[TheTelevisionRobot]

personally i think this is his best performance, whether it is or not

[EarthInBalance]

This man in my favorite.

[kurt23407]

I can't believe how popular you are now:)) ... i remember the smaller shows.. and now your here at 700,000 views!

[PaulSRai]

His voice, his musical genius just leaves me in awe after every song. Great artist. I wish you nothing but success and I'm sorry but you will never be forgotten after music like this.

[BlkButterfly23]

I love you Kristian.

[Plurstash]

@cynoodles It's all part of the act. As in "Doing music" You know that, right ?

[martanftw]

So damn brilliant. I'm speechless.

[TheBambrose]

what is that thing in the soundhole?

[hoof2k]

@TheBambrose I believe it's a guitar pickup designed for acoustic guitars.

[joericson88]

please come home to Sweden!

[georgefewings93]

learnt the wild hunt on guitar but theres just no chance in hell I can even match this level of skill..

[ColorfulHyena]

I'm sorry Kristian but I don't think you will be forgotten when you're gone :)K

[AnonymousAutumn]

Good god what an amazing performance.

[Rawrxyourxhead]

Oh I love how he smiles at the end x]

[kurt23407]

I remember i favorited this when it had 10,000 views... jeez what happend!!

[copaceticmusic]

love this? me too. davesplaylist.co.uk

[atcgod777]

@upsdelft,

Do you happen to know the model #?

I swear, I have never seen a strap button placed in that location before.

I want to see if Guild builds them like that.

[TheCavalierPoet]

@atcgod777 It looks like a Guild GAD F20, and they do make them with the strap button.

[atcgod777]

I think he's playing a swan song for the acoustic Guild that has a strap button attached to the rosewood side.

[upsdelft]

@atcgod777 I bought my Guild used with everything perfect about it, but a strap button on the side too. So sad.

[PeepsWorld12]

all of his recorded albums should simply be him singing and playing. no electronic equipment is needed

[jackfordtrousers]

@PeepsWorld12 What do you call the last two!?

[JonnoXD]

FINALLY FIGURED THIS SHIT OUT!

life complete. (:

[JohnnyR93]

this is my friend peter from iceland

[kunoislisteningto]

INCREDIBLE AMAZING TALENT PURE AWSOME GREAT HOOOORAY 

[thatsucks43]

so fine.

[Gunnerss09]

tabs?

[Shacklin123]

This might be the most beautiful thing ive ever heard

[hampshireaser]

Jesus, the chorus gives me nothing but chills down my spine.

[aazmen]

Just bought this on a vinyl and I am very happy to listen to it. It gives me so much love. There are some music releases which the people should buy, because guys like Tallest Man On Earth deserve it! Great music, great musician and great live shows!

[TheBambrose]

what kind of guitar is he using?

[lilFluuM]

Im pretty sure it´s EBEBEB

[dyneportega]

i love this tuning!

[JonnoXD]

goddamn it why do people have to tune the tits out their guitars when writing music, it makes it lame when your trying to read his guitar playing and writing tabs. D:

[ThelastJohnSilver]

@JonnoXD to f*** with people who don't like to tune? ;D

[SnarkAttack12]

@JonnoXD he's not really "tuning the tits out" haha i think he likes open D though so try that DADF#AD

[fuzzydizzle]

@SnarkAttack12 CFCFCF or EBEBEA

[GlarkOn7]

Man i wish i was Swedish...

[NUBF]

@GlarkOn7 No, you shouldn't... This guy rarely has gigs over here so wherever you're from, you probably have a bigger chance of seeing him live than I do :(

[interstellarpanda]

@GlarkOn7 Why?

[BTSSIMON]

It is the guild gad-f20 right?? amazing sound

[Londzo12]

Wow, his voice live is even better than the studio version

[RockSchoolJim]

Thanks for accepting my video response, FC. My humble attempt at covering this song...

[justlaughism]

if only he was a bit taller, I'd marry him

[jfaalk]

you can marry me if you want? works for me

[RockSchoolJim]

Awesome!

[nattrafik]

9‰ dislikes this video is that some kind of a record or what?

[TheWakatom]

@nattrafik

dude, its like 0.9%

2,769 likes, 25 dislikes.

[FolkeBernadotte]

@TheWakatom thats what he said..

[Tinfollowshisbliss]

@TheWakatom ..... 9‰

[nattrafik]

@TheWakatom 1‰ = 10−3= 1⁄1000 = 0.001 = 0.1%

[dyneportega]

@nattrafik totally

[brawnr]

Superb!

[Entpoopwuh]

This may be my favorite song. I don't know why. The guitar just sounds so good, and the vocals compliment it well.

[KhanNorwegian]

The tuning is BEBEBE (so the B and E strings are as usual, and every other string tuned down). Although he uses capo on 5th, so it's EAEAEA relative to the capo, if I'm not mistaken.

[Vinc90]

Everyday I´m suprised again how amazing this guy is. The voice, the guitar playing, the lyrics, the performance. Simply makes your heart sing!

[stratforme]

What guitar does he play?

[BGNikBG]

it's a guild GAD-F20, friend

[MrSpraycanproduction]

i love the smile at the end

[daringheartsafi]

His voice live is so close to his recording voice. I like that he is so raw.

[Soilwar]

He looks quite tiny. ;)

[xmalgosx]

Such a similar voice to Paolo Nutini ;)

[pepijnn7]

@xmalgosx hahahahhahhah worst comment ever

[MrKyle1207]

groovy room

[3rrrwhat]

His voice was off-putting at first, but after a while, I can only conclude that this is the way music is suppose to be. His raspy voice, combined with the folksy cords of the guitar is just perfection. In fact, his music is so great that I have a hard time picking a favorite.

[spenup]

His music should have been the soundtrack for Into the Wild. Hands down.

[Wilsjeff11]

@spenup along with some of the Eddie Vedder, some of his songs fit so well

[gato6591]

@spenup truer words have never been spoken

[ConnorSaysHi]

@spenup He would have done wonders, but you can't fault the soundtrack Vedder brought us.

[bananbra]

@ConnorSaysHi Vedder brought more..magic into the voice. He uses his voice as another instrument. For me, the voice of Tallest Man is just a voice. Would, however, very much enjoy a song or two from Tallest Man during the happy scenes in the movie.

[titanfan78]

@bananbra Serious Eddie Vedder blows,he rely's on old albums,and yes I was a fan back in the day till I figured out he blows

[ConnorSaysHi]

@bananbra I agree with your intentions, but I feel that Kristian also uses his voice to add depth and texture as Vedder does. An opinion is an personal choice though, so your point is fair. I think Vedder's soundtrack is pretty perfect anyway, I don't think the film could have been improved by adding any different songs. I would have enjoyed the film with Kristian cast in the place of Emilie Hirsh, however. Ha.

[bored4m]

I love this music, but sorry the OST from Into the Wild is perfect, maybe one of the best ever made in history. The tallest man on the earth sure would be perfect to another film but not this.

[fuckinmatteng]

@spenup eddie veder did an amazing job with that soundtrack

[partymachine69]

@spenup yeah fuck eddie vedder.

[backmn92]

@spenup Get real, Eddie Vedder, ever fucking heard of him?

[mschmidler]

@backmn92 I don't know what's the buzz about him, I found the soundtrack to be pretty lame, it's just classic folk without any innovation. Vedder didn't risk anything at all. I don't say he's a bad musician or anything, just that the "Into The Wild" soundtrack was a bit boring..

[grayl63e]

@mschmidler The whole movie was boring, so it certainly fit.

[04titletrack]

@spenup i liked the soundtrack for Into the Wild.. Eddie Vedder killed that shit

[TheNEWBobDylan]

@spenup ...nah.

[gobSIDES]

@spenup He is great but Eddie Vedder did such a good job and it can't be topped in my opinion. It was amazing.

[Todoslosfritos]

@spenup That was a great soundtrack too though! 

[EndoftheForest]

@spenup AGREED!



[NarrowJoy]

@spenup No it shouldn't have. That was such a shit movie.

[BoKG13]

@spenup right?

[deathbymarblz]

@spenup hell no the white stripes fuckin rule

[hooopper1]

@spenup

[LoveYourMonsterMusic]

Check out my cover of The Wild Hunt on my profile!
