a.g cook is still light years ahead of everyone

light years are actually a unit of temperarure

[@WOOZY69]

this guy has changed pop music such a massive influence and a great sensitive musician with astonishing pop culture knowledge, the nerve to make fun of it with great expertise and respect. congratulations A G Cook. you might not have billions of views but your importance is obvious to music. wish i can meet you at some point. and you are qt :)

[@conniekousen7460]

i entirely agree. the lad really did it.

[@BeniRoseMusic]

100%, it blows my mind that this is the person behind what we’re hearing on the forefront of pop, opening with some emo riffs and falsetto singing. Gives me hope for my own music and the future of pop.

[@user-cd3nu7xd2j]

Our Alarm Clock what do you mean? How does he influence music today?

[@skatastik101]

@@user-cd3nu7xd2j He has worked behind the scenes with huge artists like Charli XCX, Kero Kero Bonito and 100 gecs. His sound has helped defined experimental pop/ hyper pop and that will only serve to influence the more mainstream pop down the road. His influence is massive!

[@watchmojosh]

Couldn’t say it better myself.

[@Mariooo57]

A.G. Cook going emo revival could have been an interesting alternate career path

His production skills are through the roof, but hearing a live acoustic set is.. just holy shit it's so good. Loved the blends and transitions between formats!

[@girae7425]

Yes but he sings wrong it’s not that good I think aha I understand better now why he is mostly an (incredible) producer

[@liltatmama6471]

I legitimately think about this set every day since the secret sky fest, it was definitely a stand out from the rest and so insanely gorgeous.

To hear an acoustic version of superstar .. thought the day might never come

[@OkamiWSDwarrior]

This is the moment I knew I was in love.

[@Rolafairy]

This set is so euphoric but energizing. I never expected an acoustic guitar song from a.g. cook. Please don’t skip that. I love how this label knows how to think outside the box and blow expectations while delivering quality 💕

[@Lan_ny]

A.G Cook is the founder so I would hope he would allow himself to explore a bit lol

[@nathanjamesbaker]

Cook is actually a very accomplished guitar player. I was impressed, too.

[@ckf36]

this is absolutely fucking insane

[@Kodamair]

watched this full thing while on two tabs of acid and was fucking screaming lol

[@theRiver_joan]

I’m so jealous. I’m kicking myself for not putting this on during my last trip lol.

[@glossygrrl]

If anyone's curious, I believe he's tuned to DGDF#AD but a half-step up (Eb-G#-Eb-G-Bb-Eb) for the intro medley.

[@krnepotrait7097]

Amazing Guy Cook

[@jonclarkillustration5273]

I think the imagery in this video firmly establishes that A. G. Cook is a champion of Chaos Undivided.

[@GnarlyYouth]

That much is plainly obvious

[@Digiphex]

That superstar song is great.

[@obberbigballz]

Now knowing being harsh is the first song makes me so v happy that it’s on Spotify

[@TheSyborgue]

i rather the live version cause his voice shakes a lot more

[@_richie_call]

I still remember hearing being harsh when he played this live and freaking out when 7g came out and realizing that it had become an official ag cook song

[@simonh7025]

24:40 - Just leaving this comment here so I can come back to this moment of the video when I'm feeling sad

[@thrownstair]

We also know now that ??? is Soft Landing

[@JonahUniverse]

God-tier guitar riff??? Was not expecting this

[@drummerAVA]

I love that Porter featured A.G. at Secret Sky… in hindsight, a lot of his synth and production work, even with Charli, almost “alluded” to Nurture before it came out… takes me to a similar world.

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

He’s so hot it’s hurting my feelings 🥵

[@pretty2752]

he is beyond sexy

[@Nikita-gc6re]

Now that it was premiered 1 year ago today, i must say he started a new AG era like no other artist could. At the time nobody would think more than half of these songs will be released by the end of 2020. And more importantly noone expected 2 albums from him in the span of two months. Yet he still stays mysterious and his music only gets better. A really good time to look back to

Those purple trees are the same color as the purple on the cover of Grimes _Visions_

[@preludiosychistesmalos1795]

i loved the superstar live version, it literally made me cry

[@just-the-tip5621]

24:40 this Superstar needs a release. SO much more powerful than the original imo, I felt serious connections to Charli XCX's 'Lucky'

Was gonna write the same comment. Release this version of Superstar!
