Will Dixon - Mad As You Can (Original Song)

[patafoinification]

well that was good. :)

[WeWillShareAnecdotes]

Tasty. :D I can't help but wonder what this would sound like arranged for a group. Maybe stick a cello part in there. ;)

[LauraLottaLagle]

You're extremely talented! I would really love to hear you play live, but I live in Estonia and I sincerely doubt you would ever come here. You should still be famous and go on a tour already, even if you wouldn't come here in your tour.

[Nannirk]

I have a t-shirt just like that. In grey.

[bingolahan]

muito legall velho!

[ThatBeastyKidJames]

Yo this song is fucking awesome.

[mytwilightsong]

Can you PLEASE make an album?

[mouldyteabag]

TABS?!?! :D

[EricB12345678]

I wish you were in the US (or I was in the UK) so I could record an album with you. It's hard to find talented, committed artists these days, even when I offer them FREE recording/mixing time. Crazy.

[Nannirk]

@EricB12345678 That shouldn't really be a problem. I mean, as long as Will gets access to a decent microphone, you can do it over the internets.

[LouiseIsNotListening]

@WillsOdyssey Any way to hear your music is a perfectly good way. Even breaking into your uni and crouching by the door of your dorm room. Not that I do that.

And I would be happy to donate to an "album fund", though I'm unsure whether anyone else is quite as fangirlish as me. Seriously, when I realised that you AND Raquel have replied to me, I nearly cried. Maybe I reveal too much of my obsessive side to the internet.

Sorry if this made you uncomfortable. Let's face it, it did :)

[MadamePeppermint]

your guitar work is amazing!

[ThatDyslexicGuy]

This I highly enjoyed listening too x

[kateroonistudios]

Why do you have to be so amazing?

Is this available on itunes? I would happily buy this :D

[WillsOdyssey]

@kateroonistudios Why would you buy it when you can have it for free right here?

[kateroonistudios]

@WillsOdyssey thats true, but i think you deserve something in return for this brilliance, and you would make quite a profit! :p

[lolymoune]

@WillsOdyssey i love it willy you're an artist keep it up !!

[Calebnotcable]

Mad skills Will! Well done!

[WillsOdyssey]

@Calebnotcable Thanks!

[RyleOswald]

Wow! I had no idea that you were a musician, Will!

There's something in the way you play and sing that makes me feel as if the sound is physically bending. It gives me chills in all the right ways. I absolutely love the detail in lyrics and music, and your voice compliments the style you capture.

The only thing that I think would improve it would be a studio, since I'd love to be able hear your voice and guitar in more sharp clean detail, but that's true of any stellar performance. Great job!

[WillsOdyssey]

@RyleOswald Yes! I knew there would be at least one person for whom this was a new thing! Glad you liked it!

Thank you for the kind words, and hopefully i'll be able to get into a studio this summer sometime :)

[chalmunzcantina]

you should make a CD! Because then I could buy it :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@chalmunzcantina But why would you want to pay for my music when you can have it for free like this?

[TheTrent08]

great job dude, i'd like to lurn that tune

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheTrent08 Then do it! No one's stopping you :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@lilsmurf12 I hope you mean that in a good way.

[lilsmurf12]

@WillsOdyssey of course :) differents good

[awkwardlynconvenient]

great fingerwork. good lord that sounded dirty.

seriously, how did you do that to that guitar? I am thoroughly impressed.

anywhere I could get some of that? songs I mean.

okay, I'll stop this now.

[WillsOdyssey]

@awkwardlynconvenient Dirty. I like that.

Do you mean where can you get my music? So far only like this, though i might sort out an audio download link next week.

[TheRydog100]

That my sir. Was in fact. Epic.

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheRydog100 You my sir. Are in fact. Also epic.

[givemethatchocolate]

love it :) woderfull guitar parts and great singing :) <3

[WillsOdyssey]

@givemethatchocolate You're too kind by far.

[Fetztu]

OMG very impressive guitar playing!!

[WillsOdyssey]

@Fetztu Thanks!

[macroverbumsciolist]

Hairy arms =P

[WillsOdyssey]

@macroverbumsciolist All the best arms are hairy.

[cookiecrumbsable]

This is really amazing. You sir, have made my like week.

[WillsOdyssey]

@cookiecrumbsable Your week? I'm honoured!

[FilmmakerMichael]

I've still got a couple clips from when you played at bury st edmunds on my harddrive :) 

[WillsOdyssey]

@FilmmakerMichael I would like those clips quite a fair amount if they're available. Perhaps not to post them, but to see if they're any good or not- sometimes i can get one good song out of a gig worth posting. Send me a message about it!

[hopeonatenspeed]

i like it when you sing/play things.

[WillsOdyssey]

@hopeonatenspeed I like it when you like it when i play things.

[sk8rgirlo]

wow, you play guitar better than jesus.

[WillsOdyssey]

@sk8rgirlo Jesus played guitar?

[Schubes17]

awesome awesome epic epic amazing amazing i love it. a lot.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Schubes17 Am I seeing double!?

[supersharayah]

I'm digging the instrumentals. :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@supersharayah The instrumentals are digging you.

[ProjectFutureSelf]

I've been playing guitar for 5 years now and to call myself half as good as you would be a gross overstatement. You make me jealous...but I'm glad there are people as good as you to make me jealous at all - or else what would I listen to? It's people as good as you who inspired me to take up music in the first place.

[WillsOdyssey]

@ProjectFutureSelf And it's people as nice as you who inspire me to continue growing as a musician, the magic circle :)

[FableofLife]

I'm just learning the guitar I've played bass for most my life upright bass 12 years and electric for 3. Hopefully one day I can have the time to practice enough to get as good as you.

[WillsOdyssey]

@FableofLife 12 years of upright bass? Man, you must be smoking on that thing!

[FableofLife]

@WillsOdyssey Honestly I still have a lot to learn. Since I started college it's become more of a hobby than a passion because my studies pushed it aside. There are people out there who have been playing just as long and are way better than I am, but that keeps me motivated. Plus it's just fun ^.^

[churrowaffle]

awesomeness is awesome

[WillsOdyssey]

@churrowaffle Comment is comment :)

[RileyAndCompany]

Nicely done! I wish I could come home to one of these in my subscription box everyday. I guess I can be satisfied with the replay button.

[WillsOdyssey]

@RileyAndCompany Every day would be a bit of a stretch I'm afraid, but i appreciate the compliment :)

[rinsimyaldee1]

Fair cool song, mate.

[WillsOdyssey]

@rinsimyaldee1 Cheers!

[sophiaathina]

It's kind of amazing how incredible you can make that instrument sound when I can barely play three chords. And your voice too! 'Tis utterly amazing. Plus, the lyrics. Mhmmm.

I would *so* do a little moody dance to this song. In fact, I just might.

*dances*

...ahem. Well done, Will!

[WillsOdyssey]

@sophiaathina Well, there's only like, 3 chords in this, so go figure :P

Thanks for the love, Sophia :)

[NatalieZenaLouise]

Most definitely awesome.

[WillsOdyssey]

@NatalieZenaLouise Why thank you :)

[WatchingMatthew]

Wow, I love that main riff!

Its real nice! Got a good groove to it!

[WillsOdyssey]

@WatchingMatthew Groove is the word. The word i wish i could facilitate more often.

[whitefluffyhat]

I danced. :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@whitefluffyhat Glad to hear it!

[8Drakkar3]

woooow u r awseome!! how do you do that????? just incredible!!

[WillsOdyssey]

@8Drakkar3 You're too kind :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@8Drakkar3 You're too kind :)

[monsterinurcupboard]

Wont lie as soon as this video started the head bopping proceeded!

Awesome song Will I really enjoyed it thank you for sharing ^.^

[WillsOdyssey]

@monsterinurcupboard No problem, glad to have facilitated the bopping!

[ThatBeatonBoy]

The lyrics are literally poetry!

[WillsOdyssey]

@ThatBeatonBoy They're actually much more straight forward than they sound.

[jbdazen]

The spirit of the great Josh Homme is resonating in this :-)

[WillsOdyssey]

@jbdazen I wish!

[GilF3rrand]

Great Song :) You're a very good guitar player

You should record your songs and put them available for download, I've just recorded an EP and Soon I will Post a Video with it.

I think you should do the same :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@GilF3rrand I will get some recording done some day! I promise!

[emmfan09]

I definitely moodily danced to this. As much as I could by not actually standing up. I'm sure you understand. Also, as usual, I stood amazed at those swift fingers of yours, Dixon!

[WillsOdyssey]

@emmfan09 Swift fingers? Pah!

I appreciate the dancing though.

[reianaisawesome]

Love. It. The first video I watched this morning, so it was a wonderful start to my day <3

[WillsOdyssey]

@reianaisawesome I am glad to have been at the start of your day :)

[MisplacedPirate]

Whoa I like this a lot.  *wanders off to practice guitar*

[WillsOdyssey]

@MisplacedPirate PRACTICE UNTIL YOUR FINGERS BLEED!

[WikiRiffs]

Very cool. I think you should use the guitar riff (with the text appearing at the end) as the outro to all your videos :D

[WillsOdyssey]

@WikiRiffs That's a cool idea actually, I'll edit it up and see if it works :)

[K3LLYRI0T]

this was FANTASTIC Will, loved it.

[WillsOdyssey]

@K3LLYRI0T Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[TheGodofAtheists]

I like the melody

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheGodofAtheists The melody likes you.

[ShakespeareFrost]

If I were a singer, I would try to hire you to help me write my songs. Just saying. =)

[WillsOdyssey]

@ShakespeareFrost That's very kind of you, but i'd let you down- I'd want to keep them all for myself!

[Viroquet]

It just amazes me, the sounds that you make with a guitar.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Viroquet You flatter me, and i thank you for it.

[mrtictac94]

This is actually pretty decent :)

[WillsOdyssey]

@mrtictac94 Thanks! You won't mind if i post more videos like these in future then?

[slylink690]

Great some Will, I especially like the melody

You take long to create it or was it something natural that hit you?

-Steven

[WillsOdyssey]

@slylink690 I've had the main riff going round in my head for a couple of months now, but the rest of the song was born in a matter of hours the day before i posted it :)

[olicummins666]

<3 <<<< that is all



[WillsOdyssey]

@olicummins666 Comment approved :)

[scratchingcat]

I just love watching how you play that guitar.

[WillsOdyssey]

@scratchingcat My guitar loves watching you watching it. Or something.

[RockstarRaquel]

Let me pull a "Will Dixon comment" and say:

LEGION.

;D

Also... What happened to the Buzz Lightyear sheets?!

[WillsOdyssey]

@RockstarRaquel The Buzz Lightyear sheets are in the wash! I actually have a not very interesting story about them which I'll tell you on Skype sometime soon :)

[DavidWoodFX]

Your guitar work in this is great. Such interesting lyrics too, they're really abstract. Hurry up with the album!

[WillsOdyssey]

@DavidWoodFX The album is hurrying at the exact same pace it has always been hurrying- not very quickly :)

[TheMissingSignal]

This is spectacular! Nice job man. 

[WillsOdyssey]

@TheMissingSignal Spectacular? That's a little over zealous! However, thank you.

[MrMasterMeenie]

Why isn't it on InTheKeyof Will?

[WillsOdyssey]

@MrMasterMeenie I uploaded a video to that channel at the same time as this explaining why i would be deleting it, in favour of putting all my music on my main channel over time :)

[emilybethan]

This is awesome!

[WillsOdyssey]

@emilybethan Why thank you :)

[Emigmatiic]

=D awesome song dude!

[WillsOdyssey]

@Emigmatiic Cheers man!

[WillsOdyssey]

@Emigmatiic Cheers!

[OMGitsapairofcurtans]

Amazing, how long ago did you start singing?

[WillsOdyssey]

@OMGitsapairofcurtans I started singing semi-seriously about 4 years ago i think, though as you can tell, I've never had any lessons.

[PaiganGibbons]

... I love this *favourites*

[WillsOdyssey]

@PaiganGibbons Yesss!

[LouiseIsNotListening]

Will do you have an album out yet?

If so, where can I get it?

If not, you HAVE to release one. Seriously, your music is amazing. (:

[WillsOdyssey]

@LouiseIsNotListening Nope, no album as of yet! I might do one this summer sometime, but only if i can afford it. Until then, you'll have to cope with getting my music like this :)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

"I came here for change but this is just more of the same" Nice, man.

I really enjoyed this.

[WillsOdyssey]

@lesliefoundhergrail Why thank you indeed, that also happens to be my favourite line :)

[gdarrowood]

Snazzy!

[WillsOdyssey]

@gdarrowood All the cool kids say snazzy ;)

[gdarrowood]

@WillsOdyssey So you use that word all the time, aye?

[thepappytube]

Reminds me a bit of earlyish Chili Peppers. From the Blood Sugar Sex Magik era. I liked that era, so I enjoyed this song a lot :)

[lesliefoundhergrail]

@thepappytube agreed.

[WillsOdyssey]

@thepappytube Early Chili Peppers of that album's era is my favourite era of Chili Peppers. The influence wasn't intentional, but I'm glad you picked up on it, and I can see where you're coming from :)

[ckXcore]

very unique guitar riffs, although maybe this is just a type of music I don't listen to much.

I like it.

[WillsOdyssey]

@ckXcore Glad you like it sir!

[Punisher4000]

Pretty Awesome :D

[WillsOdyssey]

@Punisher4000 Too kind :)

[Punisher4000]

@WillsOdyssey Oh I'm sorry mister, "I must have the perfect amount of kindness"...

wait whats a figure of speech??...

[homecomingqween]

nice guitar playing

[WillsOdyssey]

@homecomingqween Thanks!

[ShmoNerd]

In memory of InTheKeyOfWill. Gone, but not forgotten.

[WillsOdyssey]

@ShmoNerd And shortly to be revived on this channel :)

[Justtubed]

oh no link to download? Sad face.

[WillsOdyssey]

@Justtubed I haven't had the time to sort out a download link yet, but I will do so next week sometime!

[rudeandnotginger81]

AWESOME.

[WillsOdyssey]

@rudeandnotginger81 Thanks!

[MatthewAds]

:O Awesome. Do you tab your songs? I'd love to learn this.

[WillsOdyssey]

@MatthewAds I don't tab any of my songs unfortunately, as I play almost exclusively by ear, and from memory. Don't let that put you off though- it's not a difficult song to learn!

[joeyisjustso]

:)

[WillsOdyssey]

@joeyisjustso :)

[columthealmighty]

Excellent stuff, love the hook

[WillsOdyssey]

@columthealmighty The hook loves you.

[nintendolad]

Very enjoyable, very enjoyable indeed.

[WillsOdyssey]

@nintendolad Enjoyment is what I aim to provide.

[EncyclopediaOfWeird]

You are brilliant! I love this!

[WillsOdyssey]

@EncyclopediaOfWeird Brilliant? Pah! Thanks though :)

[ELLtheBAG]

is that a guitar your using?

[WillsOdyssey]

@ELLtheBAG Nope, it's not a guitar at all- it's an elephant's foot.

[kriswish2000]

Awesome work sir!

[WillsOdyssey]

@kriswish2000 Thanks!
