frank zappa would be proud to call him his son

Thank you

Pin.

Indeed, this is one of the best live performances I've seen from Ariel. Extremely tight yet still playful.

im late to the party here but have you seen the makeout room one from R Stevie Moores first tour?

@@delasse3178 they're both great. same band. he should have kept these guys together.

@@sevendaughtersaaron was on drums in 2011

It's because of his socks

@@Iokoala it’s his socks dude

all about the socks

bro got a great vocal range

Socks? It's the power of autism

I know - sounds just like the album.

KCRW is always on top of their game. Their vids are the best

absolutely right

Kinski Assassin actually sounds better here to me

@@maybona did even know who ap before the capitol riot?

Yes. And you misused it again

I feel the exact same way:)), he just makes those weird falsetto vocals sound super cool and he does em so effortlessly dang.

woah! totally agree!

Yea, super performances. Usually bands have practiced songs from the album more and are better rehearsed, often even developing the song more than the album version. KEXP, KCRW, Levitation Sessions etc. are a few favorites. Growing up I think most people have this idea albums always sound better, very often because historically, live recordings are often recorded from some ones camcorder in the audience lol, reproducing a sound being blasted from a few huge speakers. And also because so many bands are drained of their artistic energy by mass-scale touring. As an adult I've spent nearly 15 years transitioning to a person who almost exclusively listens to these 'special' live performances -- special meaning when bands do them, it's often in their hayday and it also often comes out almost as a 2nd opportunity to write these songs they released before becoming perfectionists on them. When discovering new artists or music, I hardly get into albums anymore. And the more you're into experimental, raw or spontaneous musical art, generally the less desirable a formal album becomes for the appreciated person, anyway.

Fuckin right mate take my money ariel

@@justinkerr1288 Profile pic checks out

@@justinkerr1288 he can have a good donation from me too. he's too good for the ones who want him cancelled.

fuck Tucker "the Swanson's boy" Carlson & his stupid trust fund built upon an empire of disgusting frozen TV dinners. Major Grifter.

thanks!

nice timecodes bro

Kind of but also not. Zappa sounds didactic to me while Ariel is seductive. Ps. I see the Zappa stuff as a component of Ariel Pink's sound. Probably more important than I first thought. In fact I may be ready to review his discography. I liked this article: www.guitarworld.com/features/frank-zappa-perfectly-frank It might be possible to be the ideal listener for Ariel Pink though.

Absolutely.

go home dad, you're drunk!

Dude, I've got into ariel's music when I listen to WHITE FRECKLES for the first time and my reaction was "I've never heard this Frank Zappa song, how is it possible? Its a cover? wtf?" He sounds ultra Zappa in that song.

@@nicolaspalermoandreussi5932 yeah me too. That song sounds kinda like a lost 'jazz from hell' outtake

ain't that fuckin true, and besides he hasn't been cancelled because his music is on here. he's still doing music.

it helped weed out the idiots. ariel is all ours again ❤️

Agreed :)

This is one of the dumbest cancellations I've ever seen in my life

Si

explain yourself

He seems like a bit of a twat to me. Not that it makes his music any less enjoyable.

@@patriciofernandez2711 yea thats true. quite a few of the bands I like have turned out to have a front man that is an absolute twat. Still I love the music.

Living the life of a solo musician leaves a lot of room for madness

That’s what makes the art so good

I've always wondered, does it not sound like other music? Because it sounds to me like it's a rip off of something, but I have no idea what. Alot of ariel's music gives me that feeling like its a rip off but I've never heard it before

​@@morrisalanisette9067that's actually the whole idea behind Ariel's music , it sounds like music you've heard before but yet never existed

​@@morrisalanisette9067or I should say you've never heard it before

The most overused word of the past several years.

No fam, it's resting...

I literally went straight to the comments section to see if anybody else clocked that LOL

More like awkward LOL

he had a hand in MGMT's Little Dark Ages

Peak pink

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJeCfpWJztW5eHU.html

One of Brian Blade’s favorites.

Yes! Total mid/late period Beach Boys.

exactly!

The opener sounds like a really good Byrds song during the intro/verse and a really good beach boys song for the chorus/bridge. Ariel is a genius

I hate this generalization. LA is haven to some of the grimmest living situations and hardest hip hop and rock in the country. Freak folk pop is a big deal, sure. As it is in other parts of the states. It's just so off to state this is the sound of L.A. Nah

No it isnt goofy

Zappa + subversively based Pet Sounds w/ a dash of Portastatic.

That’s not far off 😂😂😂😂

Check out their track "Input: Output". If you like Ariel Pink you should enjoy this

lol

no.

tho I feel the impulse bc there is shit all else. Ariel is just a fucked up stoner weirdo. He's no genius. He's nowhere even in the same galaxy as bowie (sorry mates)

Suzy Lux Ariel pink might not be as good as David Bowie he's damn near close

That's like comparing cocaine and acid. Totally different experiences. If anything, AP has more in common with Zappa.

I did!

Bro...

Dude...

Lol I always find pretentious ass comments like this in Ariel Pink videos. Get a job, please

fuckin hipsters

I want to see Jesus Christ float up into the clouds, burst into flames and have 100 doves appear where his body was.

That would be Cole MGN's guitar

Figured it out! For the one or two who might care (i'm one), it's an Aria pro II Thorsound 300 from the 80s. Some really great Japanese guitars back in the day. That was one of 'em

Great lead guitar spund, indeed. And I live that riff on the first song. Nice and dreamy.
