WOOHOO

it took many years, but I'm on board now

sleeve do you think you'll try to catch them if they ever come through your area?

i'm kind of obsessed with seeing them live. bands don't do that for me anymore. what can i say they've tapped my inner fangirl.

i wore my kg&lw tee shirt to the high on fire show. a crew of jolly looking fellas with glazed looks complimented me on my shirt. there was a lot of effusive nodding.

I've gotten compliments every time I've worn my bootleg Gizz shirt.

hell yeah

they are a popular and good band! ilm is kind of sleeping on them tbr.

yea they are very popular irl and deservedly so, feel like every time I go out I see someone wearing a shirt

if you have the chance to see them live GO, I did knowing very little of their work and only recognized one and a half songs but it was insane, felt like I'd witnessed something legendary. it was a seated venue but I don't think a single person was sitting

xps oh yeah I will totally try to see them now, not sure what their schedule is? they go all over!

#onethread I saw a guy at the BBQ cart the other day with a High On Fire t-shirt w/the band logo in the Master Of Reality font. I had a Merzbow "Pulse Demon" shirt on. "nice shirt" I said. "you too" he said back.

The woohoo on Grow Wings and Fly is all-time

Saw them last night doing one of their 'rave sets' - five of them gathered round a desk with a huge modular synth setup in the middle, and the drummer at the back. Occasionally one of them would break off to pick up a guitar or sax, Stu gave us a bit of flute but it was pitched very low, sounded more like a large sea animal.

A bit of a mixed set, some of the longeurs were a bit too long; but when it went off, holy shit. Massive, Prodigy-like rave bangers played on modular synths with live rock drumming, just incredible. The crowd were super into it, legions of crowd surfers, some weird thing where people would put their hands up, joined at the fingertips, and spin slowly - this a gizz thing?

It's all here, start at 2h 22 for a short build up into the most intense part of the set.

From the other thread, before I knew this one existed:

Was at the Royal Albert Hall show on Tuesday - amazing stuff. First set mostly from the new album, with the Covent Garden Sinfonia. RAH rules stipulate there had to be a 30-minute interval and that the house lights had to be up throughout, but the Gizz, sans orchestra, jammed inna-Live-Dead-stylee for 20+ minutes, then dove into an epic Gaia with long jam section in the middle. Second set included orchestra-aided The River, an absolutely monumental orchestra-enabled Crumbling Castle and a version of Dragon (again, w/orchestra) that was heavier than murder.
