The lovely Wata, guitarist for Japanese drone-rock band Boris, surprises shoppers at Criminal Records in Atlanta, GA, USA. Watch her make ears bleed when she plays full volume through a mountain of Orange amps and speaker cabs!

Bleeding ear was after. Shaking shelves was after. The people putting in their earplugs was actually during the performance (which caught us by surprise...it was almost too perfect).

Probably the best female guitarist playing since Poison Ivy retired, and SHE IS GOOD. As for the "fake" shaking and bleeding,only a little hype there - I would recommend any newbie going to hear Boris bring real ear protection - their sound is so loud (and clear) live it feels like a semi-solid. Banzai, Wata!

Mike Koenig don’t confuse “technical wankery” with talent. There is a difference. Technique is impressive, and so is a ton of super flashy shit, but he’s making the statement simply that when it comes down to it, you don’t need flashy techniques. Just pure sonic power.

Esto me recuerda lo que una vez dijo Poison Ivy, la guitarrista de The Cramps, que decía que a ella el único tipo de guitarristas que le interesaban eran los que sonaban "amenazadores" no el interesaba ni la técnica ni el virtuosismo, sino que cuando agarraran su guitarra produjeran un sonido que tenga ese característica de peligroso o amenazador esa parece también a mí que es la esencia del rock, y Wata tiene eso definitivamente.

Wata-san is an incredible guitarist. Just incredible. Saw Boris the first time at the Austin Psych Fest and all I can say was, good thing I wasn't standing directly in front of the stage. Loud truly does not describe the level of volume at which Boris plays. Kind of like a semi-solid being projected off the stage, being played from a cloud of stage smoke so thick we could barely see the band. She's a killer guitar player - so what we need is for her to have Poison Ivy guest on a gig.

To some degree I agree with you. But in many situations, having no rule book becomes a rule book in and of itself (rule#1, ignore the rest of the rules even when they make sense). Remember that improv used to be a major pillar of JSB's music. They wrote new rules books. In a few years those new rule books were amended or tossed-out once again.
