Only Michael Gira can play an acoustic song with one chord and still be fascinating. When will he come to the West coast?

I had to put that video on as a response because it's pretty funny. For a second I thought it -was- the exact same outfit, but the shirt here is darker. Still funny to see he's wearing basically the same thing twenty years later, though!

"HOLY SHIT! IT'S MICHAEL GIRA GIVING A CONCERT!"

[aviansoul]

@hopeforniceaccidents think he's just using an upstroke with all strings open... myself, I never heard this song before, and love it!!

[aviansoul]

Heavy, heavy, heavy!! Who needs amps on 11 and racks full of effects...? THIS is real!

[hopeforniceaccidents]

@Dudenez67 You wouldn't happen to know what the other chord is would you? (the one that isn't E Major)

Promise of Water is so badass. I remember listening to it for the first time while reading The Scarlet Letter... weird combination.

Damn... you already called the Amish thang... good on ya!

[DrGeee]

@TheKnifeWon

I think he likes that Amish look.. <3

[SophusAnimo]

Michael Gira is like the living embodiment of gravitas

[Dudenez67]

He plays TWO chords not only one.
