- 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!

I love how the other guys from Boris are just shopping.
I am not that familiar with them, but I suspected a couple guys looked like them.
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).
Finally saw Boris live a few weeks ago. Wata truly is a guitar goddess. The way she played seemed to effortless, like she was born with that guitar in her hands.
All these people whining about how she doesn't "shred" probably think Yngwie Malmasteen is the epitome of a good guitarist
He's okay...I guess.
"He doesn't have the soul" -Phil Anselmo
HHHHHHHHHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAHAH . There´s Robert Fripp laughing as he records another daft version of some pop tune with his Pop wife Toya specially for youtube .
It's funny because she also shreds face melting solos
Ok, but was it more than one chord?
Love how Wata just gets up there and plays those sounds.. so enigmatic and beautiful. I saw Boris a few years ago in Edmonton.. Incredible.. Lost my favorite leather jacket in the pit that broke out there.. R.I.P jacket and FU Dominator.. Where the hell are you, man?? Farewell..
Fucking pissed that I missed Boris in YEG.... 💔💔💔💔💔
😰
"All metalhead girls play in symphonic bands and shit"
Wata: "Hold my fuzz pedal"
@ 2:27 I love how Atsuo and Takeshi are just looking at records, completely used to the sound. Like nothing amazing is happening lol
That's because nothing amazing is happening. I like Boris (and boris), seriously, but anyone who has ever tried playing guitar for more than 3 weeks can do this.
It's like saying ambient music is easy to make
Drone, though simple is a much more complex art than it seems.
goemon4 Do you play yourself, professionally or as a hobby?
Radu-Adrian Popescu huh, I didn't know that technical skill was indicative of artistic skill, or attention to tone, timbre and such.
@@RaduAdrianPopescu doesn't mean you're any good tho, as can be seen from you bitching and not showing anything you've apparently played and are apparently so good at
After many years of playing extreme metal I decided to become a drone doom guitarrist
Excellent choice.
Same here
Great job!
Exquisite choice sire
I would do the same
kinda funny how many people have no idea what was going on there. I enjoyed it, And yes guys, Wata can "shred" Sometimes less is more.
And sometimes it's less. This is less. Way less.
@@nathanjasper512 she’s getting further than you i think
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!
+caribman10 yeah i think i have an eardrum spasm now because of their show..
Definitely bring ear protection. I was as good as deaf for a week after Boris. But I loved it.
i like a lil wiggle
Aha! Now I know why she rarely speaks. She's deaf!
Bruh
That's a Master Shake-assed comment if ever I saw one.
set the speed to .5 for ultimate droneage
***** im diggin it
that must have been fucking incredible
Now THAT is how you play guitar. No technical wankery, just pure sonic power.
So talent is bad?
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.
except for her carefully curated set of electronic filters and loopers and pedals. Here she is describing her setup. ua-cam.com/video/t31quRno7Dc/v-deo.html
@@abbynormalzThat’s an entirely different kind of technical from what he meant
Whenever I see an Orange amp I always automatically think of Wata
It's a wall of sound laced with a droning musicality, shaking records, and making ears bleed. The very definition of godly badassery.
To me, slower sounds heavier. Neil Young would love this
I agree, NEIL plays very similar with CRAZY HORSE, PSYCHEDELIC PILL is just one example
@@anfrankogezamartincic1161 Arc (Live) is another one.
@@frdh1357 that one is pure extravaganza. But it's Neil/Horse,everything is forgiven
@@frdh1357 i love WELD
Wata: one of the most (criminally) underrated guitarists in the world, bar NONE.
I seen Boris live just the other night gone, Newcastle University. Absolutely brilliant! And yes, that number of Orange amps and cabs, with a couple of Sunn Model-Ts, are all live.
Such an amazing tone. Great video, amazing band, killer amps.
Seen them live and yeah they’re worth every penny you have no idea what to expect and they’re so goddamn loud they make a concrete floor vibrate it was insane
They aren’t a doom band they have some doom songs but when you see them live it’s mainly fast paced songs and they switch song to song with no damn pause unless to tune
Wata is the most adorable person live she just stands there and shreds like it’s nothing while bobbing her head left and right like it was surreal
One of the loudest and heaviest bands I’ve ever heard and it’s a bunch of skinny little Japanese people
Hell their music was so intense they had to swap drummers mid set cuz the first guy played nonstop thrash metal songs for 30 minutes straight
Love this!! I have been into Boris for some years now and I love the sound they have. I would love to see Wata and Justin Broadrick perform together. That would be an awesome doom ambient experience! Sound crusher!!
Wata is so beautiful and so talented.
I saw BORIS live in Boston - it was awesome!!!!
lol why are people disliking this, she sounds great
0:11 plug walk
Saying that the guitarist of Boris is going to surprise you with a song is like saying a turtle is going pounce on you.
What exactly does that mean
the music is slow
The surprise was Wata playing there, you got it all wrong.
If enough people were like you, and realized that their personal taste was not a subjective yardstick of worth, and exhibited respect for other people's tastes, I think it would tear a hole in the fabric of the universe, and the internet would cease to exist. Props, brother.
Absolutely love it.
That was outstanding! Truly outstanding...
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 is so rad.
She walks away knowing she just decimated. Boris rules live. See them!
i love this !!!!!
This is more about the feeling of the sound rather than the feeling of the construction of sounds.
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.
She's a living legend. ^_^
“Surprise” performance from the band with the unsuspecting six orange cab stack just sitting there
So good
I love moments like this. 😎
Perfect ❤️
2:23 OMG I hope he's not deaf after that😅
And the guy at 2:52 definitely heard something like that before😂
Haha the guy with the blood coming out of his ears is awesome!
she was so real for that
Wonderful. This is what guitars were made for.
Love it🎸🔊💨🙉🍻
i wish i was there :(
I fuckin LOVE her. Goes to show BIG things come in small packages.
sehr cool...top sound...BORIS...
I love Wata ! 🎉
Thanks to friends and family.
サイコーです！！
1:36 Scott Walker records!
This happened in Atlanta and I missed it!!
Fuck yeah! Criminal Records! I love that store. Wata is pretty awesome too. haha
The cuts were shot separately from the in-store. But the performance actually was a surprise.
Wata is a goddess!! >3
Love the limps looking up their next Dave Matthews purchase, while THIS is happening. Not even a clap. Beautiful.
Would that be the limps that are the other two members of the band and the store staff who were all in on the act?
She is burning🔥
Love
This girl is COOL !!
Super kool
Shes so damn cool
Ittle five points. Makes sense. Love Boris
That was so fucking cool. I would have loved to have been there.
Atlanta!!
ELECTRIC HEAVYLAND
The perfect lullaby.
Do they go up to 11 ?
zarpado malllll!!
This much fun cant be legal.
Hahahaha, awesome. It surprises me that people walk around with earplugs in their pockets. I wish that I had been there.
They probably gave them out in the store because itd be a liability if they got hearing damage from a surprise show they werent aware was happening. Idk why im saying this to you though because you commented this 7 years ago
that stack tho 🥰
One line in every song is dedicated to a friend of his who he watched being shot down "remember Kato- no longer with us cuz he's disceased. [I] Seen him murdered in the street". Another line that hit me hard: "last night my buddy lost his whole family, it's going to take the man in to conquer this insanity".
You talking about 2Pac? What does that have to do with Boris? Lol
Atsuo & Takeshi just wandering around, browsing.
that was fucking beautiful
they shouldve done this in chicago. more than 7 people wouldve showed up. the store wouldve been packed
Wata rulez!
Those people are just standing around, if I was there I'd be so fucking excited to see Wata
Jus' discover'd them in a record store that look'd like this 1. Pink was playin'...ask'd who the F?! Told & sold.❤'em!
I was literally in criminal records yesterday when I went to see Ariel Pink in Atlanta, great store ton of records and cassettes although I feel like it is a hipsters shop and you can get cheaper vinyl down the road at wax n facts
HAIL WATA!
I can not believe she actually made someone´s ear bleed. Her playing is really heavy and meditative.
his ears were actually bleeding? hahaha jesus christ
This man was actually taken to hospital for a burst ear drum. It’s not funny
Fuck yes!
Wata is my orange dream.
All hail Boris
Goddess.
So it's just the upper amps being used right? I don't see anything plugged in on the far left and right. Is there some trickery I don't know yet?
Feedbacker I
I love Criminal Records! Even if there are bums hanging around out front.
Woah wait a second... they have the yes men record i've been looking for.
Im addicted to the main riff ... xD
The two amps over Wata's head are both plugged in.
Simplicity= Heavy.
Especially drum beats.
What about the bleeding ear and shaking shelves? Were those recorded after the surprise performance? Or were those people actors during the surprise?
The word solo in the title is referring to her playing by herself not a guitar solo in the context of a song
Louder!
2:24 I can just imagine this guy being chided by other dudes in the store. "WE TOLD YOU TO USE THE EARPLUGS, MAN" "i know, i know"
People casually putting ear plugs in with a slight look of fear in their eyes.
No encore??!!!
