TJ Hastie I love the guys in the band, their song structures, their various styles and blends, also what their songs are about, people don't have to think their the best but they are my favorite
@@roblangada4516 Lol, I just watched Bewitched before this one. Probably because of the similarity you mentioned I subconsciously decided to watch this afterwards.
I appreciate the epilepsy warning. As someone who has it and also enjoys this type of music, it's not something you find that often. Most psychedelic bands don't take that into consideration when they make videos.
I’ve notice Australian are a lot more considerate than most. You ever see Bondi Rescue? The lifeguards will be doing the absolute most to help people and they go to great lengths for things that no place in the United States would do.
Rattlesnake but every time Stu says rattlesnake he says Vomit Coffin but every time Stu says Vomit Coffin he says Balrog but every time Stu says Balrog he says Cellophane but every time Stu says Cellophane he says Trapdoor
And you know they do it for the sake of the music's quality. Because then there's other musicians that just can't make something different from what they did before. But King gizzard makes these similarities because it's supposed to mean something.
Liam Featherstone-Gover kids in their 20s made this album from scratch, I think 2017 was at least the second wave of them becoming a better band, I think Murder of the universe is musically so tight and technical and the lyrics are deep af, great album, like if people didn’t get it idk what to tell you, that’s all, plenty of albums are like that
I was thinking it would make a whicked psychodelic animated series. With all the music set pieces with story interwoven between all the songs. Plus with how many albums they have, each episode could easily be based off of an album.
PREVIOUS ALBUM REFERENCES IN THIS CHAPTER: People-Vultures outro "Nonagon, Nonagon, Nonagon INFINITY!!!" Mind Fuzz bassline Mr. Beat outro / Evil Death Roll riff Trapdoor (WITH FLUTE) Any others?
the gamma knife music video is especially reminiscent of that film. also observe how the gizzverse has an equally eclectic and notable selection of locations just like how the holy mountain has planets
The Balrog section of this video used to blow my mind with all the quick cut of these awesome shots, it’s so brilliantly directed. I remember just eating lots of pot brownies around this time and all this mythology gizz stuff just blowing my fucking mind, perfect band lol
KG&TLW are this generation's Hawkwind - not just because of the entire retro sci-fi kitsch theme to their image/lyrics but also in the sense of being one of the few bands that hippies, metalheads and punks can agree on. (MC5 are another)
This song gave Gandalf a new nickname. This band is the only thing outside of the writings of Tolkien himself that have given Mithrandir a new nickname that will actually stick in years to come. I love this.
it's going further each time they make a new clip ... maybe someday jodorowski will make a movie called "King gizzard and the lizard wizard : The order of the holy nonagon" and the world will end in vomit and pain .
So I got hooked on nonagon infinity few months ago thinking about it as one of the best conceptual albums I have ever heard. Then I heard other songs and albums, this band is exceptional on so many levels. Music is technical, catchy, precise and completely on some other level! Lyrics - never about what you think they will be. Pure art!
My mate just had a fit, at first I thought he was one way mosh ing it, and then he pissed himself and I though fuck he's going all out. And then I put two and two together
I love all the references to their previous albums So far I've heard: People Vultures, Nonagon Infinity, Evil Death Roll, I'm in your mind fuzz, and Trap door
@@Donjonneau maybe you’d be right if they didn’t release four other albums in that same year. I’m in Your Mind Fuzz, Nonagon Infinity, and Murder of the Universe are a trilogy so it makes sense to have shared themes and motifs.
@@bubbamike4743 Shared themes and motives are one thing, but if it feels like they are recycling something instead of making meaningful links with past albums it would be something else. I have to listen to those albums though! XD
@@Donjonneau you see, the thing is the links are meaningful. The three albums I mentioned are part of the same story/world. Also keep in mind that recycling themes is not something they simply do out of laziness, just consider the fact that their last six albums have no such connections. (Aside from KG and LW which are really just a double album split in two)

TAKE THAT SPOKENWORDTONY PASSAGETANO
Kinda reminds ne of The Necromancer

Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in his wake

Nonagon infinity, yup!
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o' tails
Whips her lashings
Lord of Lightning moves our way
Sends a crooked look at me
Electricity escapes
Lights the sky in citrine fleece
Lightning, oh!

One more time the vault lights up with carnival of paint
I endeavor to watch the panic, but I worry that I will faint
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o' tails
Whips her lashings
Lord of Lightning's closer now
Our world's only rain and cloud
I'm not sure we have the power
Need to smite this evil down
Lightning, oh!
Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yup!
Nonagon, nonagon, oh!
And from the Lords electric snare
One goes in his electric chair
Lord of Lightning shifts his gaze
Points his strong finger our way
Electricity escapes
Leaves destruction in our wake
His electric trap has electric cyanide
The luckless hostage has been thoroughly fried
Lightning, oh!
Nonagon, nonagon
Nonagon infinity, yes!
And as the cadaver lay static with open crusted eyes
The smoking corpse began to twitch at my great surprise
Then the figure sprung up and at once it caught alight
And the creature known as Balrog was born that very night
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog, yep!
You made the atom split
It caused a massive rift
And he came screaming through
Here to bite the head from you
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog, yep, oh!
Balrog fears not the Lightning Lord
He's fixed on us, has him ignored
Feel a tingle
Rolling up your left arm when you
Think of evil
Lurking in the darkness where you
Shine your eyesight
Something tells you this is not right
Take some advice
Have you heard the murmurings of
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, yep, oh!
You caused a massive rift
You made the atom split
And it came screaming through
Here to bite the head off you
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
I build the bravery to sneak a glimpse at it's expression
And beyond the flames I see him smirk at our present depression
I fear that God's a chef and he's thrown us into a great pot
He is here, fully formed, and glowing red and lapis hot
Heated menace
Comes to gouge the heart out from us
Blazing zealot
Preaching on the apocalypse
I don't want to
Submit to his awful torture
Save me from him
Have you heard the murmurings of
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, oh!
Skin begins to burn
There's nowhere we can turn
There's no way we can win
The devil puppets him
His pyre muscles flex
We are his next subjects
His power has us floored
Kneel before the overlord
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, balrog
Balrog, yes, oh!
For them, the future was as laid out as the burnt path he swathe
And so the damned remaining lot knelt before the red Behemoth
And as they prepared for afterlife there appeared the endemic monstrosity
The Lighting Lord is back and charged the Balrog with animosity
Furious he pummeled his breast, and a blaze alit the heavens
The stage was set for war, and to the Balrog, the Lord's finger beckoned
Clouds begin to tear
Sky is bleeding hair
God is weeping tears
You are full of fears
Vehement lightning quake
Head begins to ache
Lord has thunder snake
Balrog he will break
[Narrator:]
And thus, revenge was fruitless, for one who had been turned
And we are reminded who lords over this altered world
Floating fire sky
Everything will die
Floating fire
Golden wire
Silver trails
Flashing spire
Guns are cracking
Bombs are smacking
Cat o' tails
Whips her lashing
Lord of Lightning safe he
Pulls a golden stake
Launches into space and
Mutters to the beast, one word
Lightning, yup
And as the acrid Balrog corpse smolders just like it began
Its crimson-orange light melts into the setting sun
And leaving us not without a final clap of light
The Lightning Lord escapes
As day fades into moonless night

Technically not, their Debut was 12 Bar Bruise, Willoughbys Beach is an EP, hell they got older songs than that EP as well.
Loving the Nonagon/Mind Fuzz references in this one. This album is definitely an instant classic for me.
Eric got his kick drum back. Cavs got Eric's mustache tho.
Jeez- Ambrose unleashed
The lady talking looks like the waitress from Always sunny in Philadelphia
I feel bad for the people who suffer from seizures and can't experience this
Aidan McMullan well, they can listen.
I have epilepsy but I've not had a major seizure in years flashes used to trigger them but now it doesn't
@@josephdolman be careful man
@@thatsalotofdamage8568 I appreciate your concern but as long as I regularly take my meds I'm fine
This made my benis the big vainy benis
Ebin :-DDD
dammit vinny
Grand dad? Is that you?
Grand dad! What the fuck?!
My lizard grow
I let a pigeon listen to this, now it's a dragon.
I love all of the nods to their other sounds on Murder Of The Universe. I was particularly surprised to hear Trapdoor at the end if Balrog
Holy shit I hear it now
4:09 Stu's got pretty eyes
6:10 gives me goosebumps every time when they start playing I'm in your mind. Nonagon and Mind Fuzz are my fav giz projects
The one person who disliked this probably had epilepsy
William Holm one hour still only one person
William Holm I have epilepsy and I still liked this
black hole shitting into the void 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Idk, pretty sure he wouldn't be able to dislike this if he has epilepsy
@@hogblockula9335 He tried liking but the seizure made him misclick
God damn, the band jamming out at 10:18 is such a vibe
Is this the prequel to Dark Souls?
My favorite kind of question, the kind that conjures more questions.
Is Balrog Gwyn??
@@thatsalotofdamage8568 wat obviously he is the lightning lord duh
apparently eyes like the sky were inspired by red dead. wouldn't be surprised if this was inspired by dark souls with the lord of lightning being Gwyn
Cant quit looking at Stu's rusted ass pickups.
Balrog is officially the new Rattlesnake
BALROG
BALROG

The Great Magnet
bal- YUP
WOOOOOOOOO
Lmao I agree!
Anybody else think Stu's got a closet full of them blue shirts?
Movie23Lover very believable
Movie23Lover it's Because they record everything in the same day
He is Tom Scott's archenemy
Movie23Lover I believe he does 😂!
no he stinks
King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizard is like Captain Beefheart from the 21st century
Did you see the visual reference to that Beefheart Trout Mask Replica album in their Fishing for Fishies video?
12:26 I can imagine the lord of lighting grabing the balrog by the neck, launching into the stratosphere and forcing a "golden snake" (lighting bolt) down the balrog's throat then throwing him back down to earth
Then at 12:49 I can imagine the balrog slamming into the ground just as the drums start and the lord of lighting landing down like thor just as the throat singing starts
Zedi gan damn, that’s sounds badass
This video has excellent cinematography and editing, I love how they goof around but it's still fucking epic
Saw these guys last night in Atlanta. 10/10 even better live.
Lord of lightning has to be one of my favorite Gizz songs for the riff, the pace, and it's basically about gandalf.
Wow, this band is amazing! I hadn't heard them before and recently heard Mic the Snare's discog deep dive on them. This was my first taste and I definitely want more!
Welcome to the club, there's a universe of styles to discover with these guys
I wish I could find a Hagstrom 12 string in the woods of Endor.
Yo at 5:02 Eric straight up is just sitting there doing stick tricks not even playing
BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Happy birthday!
thanks
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
thank you
SAME HERE! Happy Birthday!
oh man I feel like one thumb up is not enough, probably the best pshychodelic band on earth, no doubt
King Gizzard is like the high school band every kid that listened to Zappa in the 00's wanted to have
2017 is the year of the gizz!
A young Italian boy adviced me to this band. Thank you, i'm 59 and fan of INXS, when i listen to "Lately" i just can't get enough.
I personally believe this is King Gizzard’s Magnum Opus.
You are totally right, but I scrolled up and saw 10:18 which was hilarious timing
Nop. Its Inner Cell Loyalty Horology
So much has changed since I first got into this band with this album
Found out about this band from Dan Howells live show. This is some of the most creative and amazing music I've heard in a while.
The into to the final part always gives me chills. You know KG is about to go crazy when Joey starts throat singing.
Anyone have an amazon link for those drumsticks?
Best Acid Rock band since Robin Trower. King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard fucking ROCK!
\m/ \m/
Yet another banger from the greatest rock band on earth!
It's like watching an awesome show, and all these older songs popping up are like returning characters and it's sooooooooooooooooooo good!
YOU'RE EITHER INTO THE NEO PSYCH REVOLUTION OR YOU'RE NOT EVEN LIVING!!!!!!!!!
We are stardust we are golden
