This guy is a real musician with genuine passion for the art of music. He doesn’t care about the superficial side of the business . He just keeps playing , creating and mesmerizing those of us who have an appreciation for the deeper side of music. What a gem that I doubt the masses will ever understand.

I just discovered this guy yesterday. I can't believe I've gone this long without ever hearing about him. Good lord! This guy is amazing. His voice is impeccable! His guitar playing is impeccable! His songs are impeccable! Love this guy!

Why isn't this guy a household name everywhere??? Just amazing.

Shredding with taste. Ian Thornley is a triple threat. Player ,Writer and Singer!! Can Not for the life of me figure why he is not.a household name

Ian makes me so proud to be Canadian. Can write/sing/play! I just wish the world would clue in to this pure talent.

i can't express enough how UNDERRATED Ian Thornley and Big Wreck are and always have been. Been my fav since they started. Ian and the band just keep getting better all the time. Seeing him/them live is amazing! Love you guys!! :)Proud 2B Canadian!!

Ian Thornley is the most amazing and incredible artist on the planet. Just a genius. I am so lost in his talent and musicality. I wonder if he knows how influential he is. Blown away. Can’t spend a day without listening.

That drummer... wow... so musical!!!!

Had the pleasure of meeting Randy Cooke, he held a clinic at a music store I once worked at, such a down to earth guy and a truly musical soul. This performance shows the depth of his musicality and a huge reason why a genius like Ian Thornley would hire him. Shameful that Ian has not become a household name. This is just a brilliant track and even better performance.

Holy fuck dude this guy his solo just ripped my face off

Man, hanging on that 9th vocally at 2:32 - Jesus, Ian can wrench every last drop of tone from anything he sings or plays.

Drummer. Is. Insane. Actually all 3 are just so incredibly fucking talented. I love it

Wow I can't believe I have never heard anything from this band before....Ian is absolutely a top notch singer and guitarist!!!

Hey! World!!! WHAT is it going to take to recognize this guy as one of the most talented musicians of our age?!? Asking for a friend...

One of our national treasures🎸

reminds me of Don't give up from Peter Gabriel - both are beautiful pieces!!!

This live performance is absolutely insane. Randy Cooke's drumming is amazing and that final solo was simply breathtaking...

A musical Genius. Ian sure knows how to paint a picture with his music. I’m officially going to say it, “ Ian Thornley is the most talented and gifted musician to come along in the past 2 decades! “ I myself as a guitarist am just blown away and lost for words by his musical greatness.” After Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Passing I never thought I’d ever have a guitar hero that I would look up to again and get to witness playing live. This guy has changed the way I pick up my guitar these days... thank you Ian. Cheers!

Dude this guy is awesome so much much much talent I can't handle it what is going on they should be a household name this guy's projects

I will be looking forward to see these dudes when touring starts up

Insanely beautiful ❤️

Dang , Absolutley one of the BEST not getting their whatever. Truly Ian is up there as a Great musician

Just realized that it is Randy Cooke on drums,Awesome.

Without a doubt the best Suhr performance so far! Amazing!

Triple threat. Thornley is badass all wayround. And those tones are beyond killer

Just scrolling through the list of Big Wreck tunes I've enjoyed. A conclusive "All of them." 💓

Beautiful, masterful!

Been following Ian since Loving Memory.....amazing talent!!

Simply masterful interpretation. Thank you Ian for giving us this exquisite piece

This is a gift! So freaking good. I am so sorry I didn't hear of them sooner. I will be seeing them as soon as they tour again! Ian/Big Wreck!

"Awesome!" Merci beaucoup.

This is truly stunning.

Love this tune. Ian's live versions never disappoint!

Can really hear his Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits influence in this. So fucking good

Thanks to andertons i now know who Ian is... this is one of my favorite songs ever... his vocal and guitar sound is just stunning

This is a BEAUTIFUL Song Ian!

What a GORGEOUS recording!

Absolutely fantastic.

Nice One. .. Great Work's on Music Concept ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏

This whole performance is perfect!

His voice sounds a lot like Sting to me - but better (and I'm a big Sting fan).. and those great guitar arpeggios are reminiscent of Andy Summers. Strange... I've only just come across him, but he's the best singer and guitarist I've heard in a long while. And his songs are great.... I'm a bit shocked at my own ignorance (although I get depressingly regular reminders of it :-) ) but I'm relieved and happy to have stumbled across a musician and a band as talented as Mr Thornley and Big Wreck.

Amazing vocalist, and guitar player. So glad I stumbled on this.

I love this song, specially this version. I have been listening to it since this video was posted. Also, imagine being friends with Ian. He looks like a person of depth and one that could be a good friend. Much love Ian!

Of course Ian is a Monster guitarist....but no one here has mentioned his impeccable sense of time.

F**k he just gets better with age...

The Police meets Chris Cornell...great sound 👍..*ok wrote that just before the lead guitar came in...wooah!!! 😳

just 52500 views?? you're kidding me??? this world is crazy.

❤️ No words

Absolument magnifique !

Incredible. I need to see them live!

Damn dude! I just discovered you guys this morning... great job! You remind me a bit of Cornell in some of your vocal ranges and tone. I am going to see if I can't get one of your live videos reacted to and broken down by Michael Palmisano on his channel. That should garner you a few more subscribers and views. You guys definitely deserve it. 3k subs is unreal for this talent... hold my beer! Subbed!

Ummm... Mic Drop... what a beast :D

its so sad that this has 35k views... i recorded a 20 second video of my washing machine making a weird noise and it got 35k views.... this guy is pure genius but instead we get justin beiber and ed sheeran.... wtf is wrong with people?

Ian is THE best kept secret

Absolutely amazing! I'm speechless! Thank you!

Great video. Lighting in this is fantastic also. Kudos to the tech! Music.,..different.Interesting!

@5:45 signature Ian ripping!

Amazing!!!

So underrated

Intoxicating

Amazing! Subscribed in less than one measure!

Weltklasse. Danke

wow!!!

best guitarist playing these days. I'd love to hear him play with Synyster Gates and Mark Tremonti. that would be epic! Of course Ian would have to sing. would be cool to hear him sing with Myles Kenedy too. but of course, Ian is the best at both, so ... been a fan since 97 so whatever he does just gets better and better, and he was amazing to start with, so yeah I ramble and turn all fanboy with big wreck and Ian in general. LOL

Gold Stevie R. V / some edgy coast feels ❤

My one-and-a-half year old daughter calls this version of the song "The Drum Song" and it's been her clear favorite song for about the last month. Thornley and Big Wreck should offer Randy Cooke some serious money to come on tour with them - his work here is so hypnotic and light years better and more engaging than any other drummer I've seen with Big Wreck. As an aside: my daughter started listening to "Ghosts" and "The Oaf" from the 2015 show when she was about 6 months old (mostly my doing at that point in time - it calmed her down and got her to sleep) and she still frequently requests Ghosts.

جميل اللحن والأداء على هذا الإتجاه من الأداء متوافق الصوت الجميل مع اللحن والأدوات الموسيقيه .. برجاء الاستمرار جميل جدا ..

Nice

Is the album "secrets" available on Spotify? Id love to hear studio version

💜

A little Jeff Beck in there awesome playing

Does anyone know what effect he uses on the chorus? Sounds like reverb, it almost sounds like a slide guitar 🎸

They should do a collaboration with a pop act if you really want them famouser!

I just found my new favorite artist in Ian Thornley!! This live performance is incredible! I want recordings of all of these live songs! Is there any way to get them?

Very Peter Gabriel.. A complement.

Where's my blown mind emoji?!?!

Sounds like Peter Gabriel

Dire Straits vibes

This is just ridiculous.
