Greatest rock band of the modern era. And im pretty sure thats the most accurate way to describe them. They do everything. And very, very well.

It's easy to fall in love with this band after hearing how diverse their albums are. They do jammy stuff, microtonal, electronic, psychedelic, garage, metal, jazz, prog, etc.

Totally agree with the other comments here! Happy you stuck with the song and actually found some interesting things about it. I’ve seen them live 4 times and it’s been top experiences in my life. You never know what you’ll hear. They have over 100 songs in rotation and never play the same set twice! In one concert you can get psychadelic rock, jazz, microtones, rap, electronic, blues, psych pop and metal 🤯🔥 Suggested songs to react to are: Catching smoke, Dragon, Crumbling castle live on KEXP, Grim reaper live at Lowlands I believe and Dripping tap live at Bonnaroo (what sold me!!). Have fun 🦋

Most of their KEXP live version of songs are amazing, especially Magma. Also my favorite version of Rattlesnake is a live Red Rocks version from 2022 where they tease a few other songs and the whole thing is a pretty catchy jamming session.

This is one of my favorite bands of all time. This song was my first exposure to the band, and I loved it (I've never done any sort of substance in my life). I went to check out their other music thinking it would sound the same, and I was instsntly proven wrong. Now I've heard all 25 of their studio albums, and loved each one to varying degrees. This is from their 9th album "Flying Microtonal Banana", named after the custom yellow guitar their frontman Stu Mackenzie plays on the album fitted with extra frets between the normal frets to easily play the notes between notes, microtones. If you have a good ear for what is and isn't out of tune, you may notice that some of the notes in this song are "out of tune". Those are the microtones. The idea of this track was to make a song so long and repetitive as the opener so the listener gets used to the microtones. If you want another song from them that's completely different from this, I'd check out either "Catching Smoke" or "Dragon", the former being a progressive psychedelic synth-pop track, and the latter being a progressive thrash metal song. And yes, their concerts are great. I've never been to one, but they have quite a few live albums (with professionally recorded footage), so I'd imagine that seeing them live would be incredible.

I’m telling you , this is one of my new favorite bands ! You gotta try them out , they recorded 25 albums in 10 years ! Which is a phenomenal feat ! They are so diverse and talented, this one is not one of their best for sure . Listen to Iron Lung , or River , catching smoke Motor City to name a few

Welcome to the gizzverse, brother. No two albums are alike (give or take some sounds). Easily the most exciting band making music right now, and they’re always putting stuff out. Coming up on a 70s boogie rock inspired album any day now!

This one can seem a bit dry and repetitive for sure, even as a huge fan, this song isn’t my favorite listen. Having been to two of their shows, I can say they are indeed phenomenal live. ‘Magma’ live from red rocks 2023 is an outstanding performance, and also 100% of their KEXP live sessions showcase their performance skills quite well. I’d recommend checking these out if you have the time and interest.

And fyi I just smoked a bowl and I’m having a blast listening to them go and watching you go huh?

I’m seeing them twice in forest hills nyc this august. I saw them there 2 years ago. So damn good. You still haven’t heard KGLW. You need at least 10 songs from 10 different albums to actually hear them. Crumbling Castle Set Shanghai I’m in your mind Quarters Dragon Just for a taste. And none of them are like this. They also dropped the second drummer schtick as the guy with glasses was holding the good drummer back.

@8:53 it's not gonna change brother. You're not ready: and that's cool. Enjoy the engagement.

This is a weird one to start on. Not only is is pretty repetitive and goofy, it's also microtonal so you're hearing some weird "wrong" notes because of all the extra frets on their guitars. Only 3 out of their 25 albums is microtonal. I would suggest hitting a couple more like Dragon, The River, maybe Catching Smoke. There's a whole lot of options with them.

Well, you started this journey with certainly the most weird corner of KGLW. Their microtonal stuff is great but for sure an aquired taste ^^ They tend to repeat the song title quite often in their songs and Rattlesnake became kind of a KG fan bubble meme because it repeats it 54 times which is a lot even for them. That's probably also the reason why the video has so many views - it's not even in their top 10 on spotify though :)

I'm pausing the song so I don't miss you're reaction. I heard once = I hated it. about 2 months later: I was curious. Now I FUCKINKG OVE THE PART WHERE THEY DAY : RATTLESNKE, RATTLESNAKE, RATTLESNAKE, RATTLESNAKE. Hey brother, give yourself about a week? A month or two? come back to it. It's gonna be you're fav.

Welcome to the weirdo swarm! Deepest hole you’ll ever go down

Definitely not the song I’d use to introduce someone to Gizz with. But stick with em and you’ll be pleased

Dog you got bit by the rattlesnake and the only antidote is more gizz reactions. Head over to Dragon.

seeing you watch this in pure cringe horror was wonderful. Thank you

Definitely the foundation for perhaps on of the most fun live songs ever. Please listen to the 2022 Red Rocks Rattlesnake.

best song from king gizzard xd idk i like this kind of songs like oingo boingo

I promise you, this band has at least 1 album (but probably more) that you will absolutely love! For some easy listening, listen to the song boogieman sam live or not, doenst matter. If you want to have your mind blown, listen to the track self immolate right afterwards. I wanna pull you back up from the ledge hahah

Try "Dragon" or "Gila Monster" from one of their last years albums.

I really really want to see you react to their song "The Dripping Tap", this is some Led Zeppelin shit.

wait till you hear trapdoor i bet you will enjoy it

Really hope you react to more Gizz, this was a really unfortunate choice for a first song. Please check out Dragon, Catching Smoke and Crumbling Castles to get a better appreciation for what these dudes are actually about.

Oh man. This shouldn’t have been your first song from them. This was genuinely a shame lol.

Rattlesnake is such a dumb song but dumb in a great "lets just fuck around and not take anything seriously" way. It's the Gizz song you play to mess with people. 😂
