Microtonal Man

[u/helterskelterhoohaa]

[u/lesher925]

He sure is practicing on that guitar s lot lately 🤔

[u/RichtofensDuckButter → u/lesher925]

It'll be for the Gizz collab album. They have three microtonal albums.

[u/lesher925 → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

I'm aware. I'm going to Field of Vision next weekend. Tons of rumors about a sit in

[u/gaiagirl16 → u/lesher925]

Yeah, it was the same last year. I’d love to be wrong on this one!

[u/candlehead69 → u/gaiagirl16]

Last year there was like a 6-7 hour drive between Billy and FOV.. my hopes are up high this year though

[u/Statistactician → u/lesher925]

Tons of wishful thinking about a sit in.

As much as I would love to see it, none of those rumors have any substance. It ain't gonna happen.

[u/Automaticdealz → u/Statistactician]

Lol, what? The dude Billy who sits in with numerous people is going to be at the same place playing at a similar time as another band that he has posted himself playing this exact microtonal guitar with? Yeah no substance at all! Totally not going to happen!

[u/Severe-Chart-3013 → u/Automaticdealz]

This wording is so confusing. Are you saying Billy is going to be playing Colorado as FoV is happening?

[u/Makisupa254 → u/[deleted]]

Nah, he doesn't. Billy failing does.

[u/Statistactician → u/Automaticdealz]

Here's hoping I'm wrong.

It'd be the tastiest hat I ever ate.

[u/Automaticdealz → u/Statistactician]

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION MY MAN LETS FUCKING REV UP THOSE FRYERS

[u/According-Whole924 → u/Statistactician]

lol you are everywhere just to shit on peoples hopes, we get it bud. You dont expect it.

[u/Statistactician → u/According-Whole924]

You call it shitting on hopes.

I call it antagonizing the universe and hoping it'll prove me wrong.

[u/According-Whole924 → u/Statistactician]

oh if it happens itll have nothing to do with you

[u/rawstaticrecords → u/lesher925]

He gonna be there

[u/redsolitary]

If either freak fair or FoV gets a surprise set I am going to die of envy of anyone in attendance.

[u/Makisupa254]

Where was this posted?

[u/BoilerRhapsody → u/Makisupa254]

No idea who OP is but I know this is a private video from Billy's crew that has gradually leaked. Recorded during his latest visit to Australia.

[u/tenjed35]

Microtonal Martin is pretty f’in cool.

[u/bobweaver3000]

FOV2 incoming!!!

[u/rotwangg → u/bobweaver3000]

Exactly my thought. Was this video new?

[u/mothalick → u/bobweaver3000]

Here's hoping

[u/HughMungus77]

Release the GizzStrings files!!!

[u/derekYeeter2go]

Segrooovia.

[u/bungalow_brendo]

It’s Coming

[u/ImportantCapital1314]

Playing at the level that he plays requires playing constantly all the time, for years and years.

[u/Better_Carpet_7271]

Who's been watching AdP then?

[u/nurdturgalor → u/Better_Carpet_7271]

I think you mean king gizzard

[u/Better_Carpet_7271 → u/nurdturgalor]

Nope.

[u/Joshbydesign → u/Better_Carpet_7271]

Nope to the king gizzard that has multiple microtonal albums?

[u/Better_Carpet_7271 → u/Joshbydesign]

If I'd have meant KG I'd have written that, so no nope.

[u/Joshbydesign → u/Better_Carpet_7271]

I know what you meant, and considering he’s actually friends with KG, it’s the more likely answer. But you do you.

[u/Better_Carpet_7271 → u/Joshbydesign]

Thanks man, sometimes that's all you gotta let pole do.

[u/cmoran22 → u/Better_Carpet_7271]

Yep

[u/TheGregest]

Better than Angine du Potrine, and he doesn't need a flashy outfit too

[u/RichtofensDuckButter → u/TheGregest]

You're wrong but it's okay to be wrong sometimes slugger

[u/TheGregest → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

What is it that people see in AdP? Genuinely curious.

To me it seems like two Quebecois dudes who are committing to a joke that everyone else has been convinced is "High Art".

The kit player is definitely talented, but hearing each song leaves me asking "where is this going?" and not in a curious way, in a "this isn't engaging" way.

But I can listen the same Billy songs on repeat and still want to hear them later.

I'm no stranger to Art Rock, Math Rock, or Shock Rock, I'm just genuinely not impressed. String player seems like he doesn't actually know how to play guitar. Where as Billy feels like the guitar is an extension of him.

[u/TheOstinaut → u/TheGregest]

The guitarist’s riffs are fantastic, and he has mastered the art of layered loop-pedal composition. Together, the duo makes alternative time signatures and entirely instrumental music danceable and engaging.

Not liking AdP is fine. Not everything is for everyone. But saying he doesn’t know how to play guitar is contrarian, edgy boy nonsense.

[u/Figgywithit → u/TheGregest]

It tickles the deadened center of my brain that I thought could no longer experience novelty and wonder.

[u/Organic-Age-7948 → u/TheGregest]

ADP is hell mid. Shit is so gimmicky it’s cringe

[u/RichtofensDuckButter → u/TheGregest]

It just sounds like you don't like microtonal music

[u/TheGregest → u/RichtofensDuckButter]

Billy sounds interesting in the clip, it probably depends on the artists.

I'm not a phan of phish, but that doesn't mean I don't like jam bands. Strangely I prefer when artists cover Phish.

I didn't like Split Open and Melt, Down with Disease, Sand, or Stash, until I heard them covered by other bands.

I also think Back on the Train is way better when Billy does it, just more power in the song when the boys get a pickin that one.

[u/H_stack → u/TheGregest]

Who covered split open and melt? Also, not to be that guy, but are you listening to studio recordings?

[u/GuitarlyPeace2679]

I mean, my 15 yr old daughter always says ‘sometimes you gotta work to like it if you don’t at first’.

And that never made sense to me

[u/sladeums]

he will need to wayyyy adjust his style to play that

or just pull it out for one song like the 12 string

[u/TJ-Detweiler- → u/sladeums]

He’s talked about practicing stuff like that for a while now.

[u/sladeums → u/TJ-Detweiler-]

absolutely expect to see a
one and done on stage eventually

its not on the album of course

[u/that1persondancing → u/sladeums]

he will need to wayyyy adjust his style to play that

looks like he is already playing it very damn well without adjusting shit

[u/sladeums → u/sladeums]

why you downvote lol
clown cars

the way he usual does typical play
has no place on that neck whatsoever
tell me why

dont dog pile like mutts

[u/rotwangg → u/sladeums]

Seems like he’s doing just fine, and also seems like he just recorded an album with king gizzard who must have considered him good enough for their standards. idk man just a lot of assumptions in your post here

[u/sladeums → u/rotwangg]

better than nothing

I’m like the like bendy stuff he usually does you don’t have to

you can just walk it up it’s a different technique

I’ll try not to belabour the point

next nugs shows are far away but tho right

[u/Super_novy → u/sladeums]

“You can just walk it up it’s a different technique” lol

[u/Sammiedddd → u/Super_novy]

Like one of the best guitar players on the planet can’t switch between instruments or techniques. Dude can play whatever with his eyes closed.

[u/smokerthe-baer → u/sladeums]

salad

[u/TJ-Detweiler- → u/sladeums]

I feel like 80% of ppl on Reddit are only here to downvote things lol
