yeah, that was the first thing i've noticed when i bumped at their music. i remember i thought "man, they must be insane!". and indeed, they never dissapointed me in this, or any other regard for that matter.
They are still being held against their will. Although Eric has been granted his Kick Drum privileges back for good behaviour, so its not all doom and gloom.
I agree... it's dense and not easy to digest (just as Tales of topographic oceans from Yes was like in 1973) PLUS it goes a hundred miles an hour, still it is congruent in it's whole "chaos-madness-bestiality-postdigital-horror" aesthetic, which renders this record a masterpiece indeed. In it's own frankenstein on cocaine way.
At first i thought it was brilliant, then I kind of stopped listening to it. It is one of my least favorite of the year (a funny sentence.). However, with time, I find it to be fucking solid. definitely above average dark rock.
Michael Hand yeah, for a while I only listened to the Balrog vs lord of lighting and I would take the record off. But as time has passed, I've given the other chapters a try and they're nothing short of genius. Such an amazing story and the dialogue between the man and the altered beast is amazing. The soliloquy by han-tyumi is amazing as well.
9:45 Joey starts giving energy to Stu Stu turns away just as he says "im completely satisfied" Stu then redirects the energy back into the band Absolutely genius

haha When I discovered KG I was tempted to buy a 12-strings acoustic guitar and here I am now, playing some of their masterpieces! Come to my channel to watch some covers of them :D cheers
I love how the rhythm carries through the drums and bass and guitars simultaneously but independently at the same time, so that whenever the drummers need a break the rest of the band picks up and back and forth. Truly an Altered Beast
these guys do a crazy amount of stuff in 7/4 and 7/8. See also Crumbling Castle, KGLW, Robot Stop and Murder of the Universe. I wouldn't be surprised if they can all keep time with this forever with so much practice
@@Heute_vor...Jahren I'd say either a 5/8 bar followed by a 6/8 bar, then repeated, or 11/8. Or could also be heard as three 3/8 bars and a 2/8 bar. For the drums I'm a bit lost, it sounds like 11/8 too, personally I hear "one two three four five sixone" where the "and" of the six is skipped, which is the feel of 11/8 for me. Anyone more knowledgeable than me feel free to drop a correction if wrong ! Edit : after playing along for a bit I think this is definitely 11/8 on both parts. The guitar bar starts with a feel of "3+3+3+2" and after a certain number of cycles the drums and bass come in playing the part with the shortened 6th time. If you listen closely, they start playing exactly after the guitars complete a cycle, so right after the short time (2 in my feel explanation). Lol this is unbearably badly written but sorry I have no clue how to explain it better
@@TheTourtopoulais I agree. In the beginning it sounds a bit weird, but when the part "I don't feel heinous..." comes I also hear the 11/8 time (one two three four five and)
@@Heute_vor...Jahren Ah this is interesting because for me, the "I don't feel heinous" part is a mystery, I can't count properly and fall on the downbeat, while the previous parts are very easy to my ear. Fascinating !
Adapted I know but I think that's why it was so great, it fits in better now with the whole 5 albums, this music is theatrically epic, also gives people a nice recording without the narration that people didn't like
An old good friend of mine, who's also a very good musician in his own right, listened to this show and said they were crap. I laughed and told him to pay closer attention. But he did admit Sketches is a great album.
Right?! I didn't care too much MOTU when it first came out, but now I can't stop listening to it and Sketches. Definitely my favorite King Gizzard albums at the moment.
@@evanmurphy6640 The local shows near me are all in basements, maybe 400 square ft. for people to thrash about - no one's shy of getting involved. This show is an anomaly, must be before these goons in the audience had their coffee.
@@daniels7036 it is too formal for kgatlw that's my point exactly. It should be a dark room with cool effects and shit that people can really loose their mind in.
I know right? most of the people who I have heard say that are guys who listen to just 1 fucking band all the time, basically is people who doesn't love music because they don't take the time to look for new stuff

I still think the Altered Beast suite is one of the best things they've ever made. It's so damn cool.
I strongly agree. Theres a simple yet somehow proggy feel to the songs that is tough to find with modern music.
There is 10 seconds in alter me III that is the best looped bass run I’ve ever listened to
One of my fav albums no doubt
two drummers that stay perfectly in sync through all those passages I've never seen anything like it
yeah, that was the first thing i've noticed when i bumped at their music. i remember i thought "man, they must be insane!".
and indeed, they never dissapointed me in this, or any other regard for that matter.
You should check King Crimson, they have 4 drummers and are founders of progressive rock.
The performance seems pretty flawless, so tight, I love tight rhythm sections
ZAPPA!
Check out Thee Oh Sees! Stu was inspired by that band and the front man John Dwyer. They also have two drummers of this caliber. It's kickass.
Third time on KEXP and Eric and Cav still look like they're being held against their will.
hahahaha I bet it's hard to focus on tight synch with those hundred miles per our rhythms shifts hahaha but yeah, they do seem to suffer.
They are still being held against their will. Although Eric has been granted his Kick Drum privileges back for good behaviour, so its not all doom and gloom.
They're rushing to get it over with xD
realistically, dude is right about the difficulty focusing, but im sure that this is beyond satisfying to pull off no matter the work it takes.
A rare sighting of Lucas moving 8:21
The riff on Altered Beast IV is absolutely insane
Bass line at altered beast IV and polyrhythm on drums is what I live for. The rhythm section rips.
@@isabellabienert3982 just sounds like regular 11 time to me, no polyrhythm but I might be wrong
Their rhythm section is the tightest of any band I’ve ever heard. The progressive nature of the track is what makes it so fucking awesome I’d say
I don't think there's a polyrhythm there
yeah and the beauty of it , is the fact you can shake your head as if it was 4/4 even if it's 13/11 or shit
The KEXP King Gizzard recordings NEED to be on vinyl! Best live performances I've ever seen.
We have Chunky Shrapnel which is arguably better. Both would be nice though.
YES!!!
At 8:03 Ambrose is seeing both past and future simultaneously
he sees right through
@@redkingoldhero38 good one

The synth bass at 6:00 just reshaped my DNA...

2:24 i wish this part happened more than just twice,, the alternation between the guitar and harmonica is so cool
Kind of a bummer they never play Altered Beast I. Still a fucking bad ass jam though. Stu's scream at 7:46 is fucking gnarly, man.
they finally played altered beast 1 in their second half of the 2022 tour, goes mad fast tbh
6:55 how did he even make that noise bro
The pick ups are very sensitive on his guitar, they literally pick up him screaming.
I need to see them live after lockdown. Just discovered them. Haven't heard something great like this in a long time.

look up Flightless Records for a ridiculous amount of crazy good music if you like King Gizzard
Did you get to see them?
Check out swans and Captain Beefheart if you haven’t heard of them
Do it!
I play guitar since highschool (25 yo now) but maaan since I discovered King Gizzard back in 2014 I'm so tempted to buy a drum set

They are such an undeniably amazing rock band my god
7:46 dudeeee melts my face..
10:50 One of the most wicked and best riffs from gizz
8:45 “I love you!”
The talent is too much to comprehend. Much like my love for Cavs' sideburns.
The excited yelp from someone in the audience at 2:56 is now officially part of the song for me. Would be dissapointed to hear it without it :D
i sing it to the studio version xD
lol Ambrose fucked it at 4:43 classic reaction
looks like hes about to sneeze to me
Most probably he felt pain in his finger.
This band is just incredible
This is like the tightest band in the past couple decades, their dedication to what they’re making is the best part
I love how the rhythm carries through the drums and bass and guitars simultaneously but independently at the same time, so that whenever the drummers need a break the rest of the band picks up and back and forth.
Truly an Altered Beast
I have now peaked audibly. Nothing will ever greater this. Bassist is a god.
7:45 that fucking breakdown.
2:54 that's actually a beast of a riff
Listening to this at the campground Tennessee as we wait for tonights show. Hoping we hear it this weekend.
Listening to the studio album in the dark is pretty terrifying. The narration is chilling
One of the few bands that are *BETTER* live. Just awesome.
Pretty soon they’ll release as many records as Zappa
Altered Beast 4 has such an evil riff, sounds like a boss fight am i right??????
i just noticed that every kexp king gizz performance has ambrose on the thumbnail
Gotta have a bit of eye candy for the click-bait
That's a very attentive observation lol. U right tho.
14:22 I love you, Eric
Those guys are insanely good! I love their own little universe :)
That time signature! 7/4 or whatever it is.

That and the deal they made with satan that doesn't allow them to take a single break of any kind.
I thought all those worlds were completely legitimate, sketches is the weakest album tho
@@hippiecheezburger5457 its amazing that the weakest album is still a classic
I watch this video like 5 times a day
Saw them in Nashville a few months back and when they played this the crowd was going crazy and gizzard are an awesome band
Hardworking band, well said cheryl. Love cheryl
I could listen to a two hour version of the Altered Beast medley...
Incredible!!! Every time I hear/see this, I'm blown away at the perfection.
please come to brazil
This is so good. They look like they're doing a battle of the bands
I can't wait to see these guys TONIGHT in new Orleans baby.
This is pure energy!
Best song(s) of the masterpiece that is Murder Of The Universe.
Right?! I didn't care too much MOTU when it first came out, but now I can't stop listening to it and Sketches. Definitely my favorite King Gizzard albums at the moment.
MOTU will be looked back upon as one of Gizz's landmark albums
Came five times, looked at time, was only 3 minutes in
altered beast is their magnum opus in my opinion.
its so damn perfect!!
Felicitaciones desde Argentina y el aguante!!
eric was such a beauty
Best band in the world atm!
João Filipe that would be phish

what an awesome band!! remind me of the other kings ie crimson
Why do I always end up headbanging in my bathroom? Ly king gizzard

NEVER
My brain is melting! Ahhhh new Gizz videos! Thank the gods... Happy New Year!!! Most prolific band of 2017...maybe ever?! I AM AN ALTERED BEAST! 👹👹👹
“Murder of the Universe! The brand new album!”
What is this, mid 2017? Get with the times.
If you were in the know, they performed this in the summer.
Be thankful you even get to watch this MASTERPIECE.
Get with the gratitude.
