Big Wreck - Come Again (2019-06-22 Beaumont, Alberta)

[@scottmaybee]

Hats off to Dave for being a workhorse on the bass filling in for Brian as best as he can. RIP Brian.

Ian ripping through solos and he doesn't even need to look any more; looks like he can do this in his sleep. One hell of a musician.

[@sudsysutherland359]

He pretty much is in his sleep during this gig really lol. What’s even more impressive & sad at the same time is that as most of you’s know they were still mourning the loss of their friend & bandmate😢 & decided to go out as a 3 piece band in which for experienced musicians out there know is no easy feat for this kind of music. Here’s a cool story for you guys… …. In the mid to late 90’s a couple of my childhood friends whom 2 of them were also my inexperienced bandmates but thought we were “Pink Floyd” 😊lol😅… So anyways we grew up in a small town called St.Marys,Ontario & in the 90’s the population was approximately 4,000 - 4,500 & about 40-45mins from London,Ontario so when we wanted city action London was it lol, so we decide to go to downtown London & we were around 19-21yrs old. We are walking by the “VIA Rail Train” station & an old popular small music bar/venue called “Call The Office” & the stage was probably smaller than your childhood bedroom, so my good friend/drummer Bob recognized a few songs coming out of “Call The Office” which one of them was “The Oaf” & Bob says guys i’ve seen this band on “Much Music” & heard “Big Wreck” on London’s “FM96” radio station. So we go in & there’s only like 10 people in the bar & all musicians have been there or all still in that stage lol😅… so we are throughly impressed especially myself & we stay for their whole show & chatted with the band afterwards & did a few shots together & bought merch to support them & we are all still big fans of “Big Wreck” & “Thornley”!!! Amazingly talented band as most know!

[@mendocaron]

That band is so good! RIP Brian!

[@CameronCox]

Dang dude, Big Wreck goes from 5 to 3 in about 2 years. But the show must go on. Mad respect, and still sounds incredible

[@chrislestermusic]

Thank you so much for uploading these. Big Wreck is my favorite band. Amazing to see them as a 3 piece but heartbreaking why they are.

[@paulya1269]

Geez...how good a guitarist is Ian Thornly! Outstanding!

[@taylorrawlings7407]

Ian you are one of my favorite musicians. Your voice melts my face. We kinda met one night actually.

[@eviltack]

And I felt the melody and sound and I’m waiting for one more song…..RIP Brian

[@MalinaHavardofAMC]

Highly underrated musician.

[@lindaroy3515]

As sad as a situation as it was with the passing of Brian this 3 piece performance is absolutely stellar with Ian Thornley tackling all guitar duties as well as singing & Dave filling in the big gap on bass to try & fill those big holes with normally having 3 guitarists which is like what Iron Maiden has been doing since the late 90's with Bruce Dickinson & Adrian Smith's return to Maiden & have been a 6 piece band ever since & as talented as all those musicians are you can just imagine how many harmonies & triple layering power chords when everyone is playing the same thing & the that Maiden sound just flowing right through you then all 3 guitarists will split off into another dimension yet making their songs sound out of this world!!! & that's exactly how "Big Wreck" sounded with that 3 guitar riffage & harmonies, they are out of this world & sadly do not get the respect & attention they so deserve in this musical world. IRON MAIDEN should take Big Wreck out on tour with them & Maiden has already then shame on me for not knowing about it lol

[@bloodsling]

that whole album is rock solid

[@christiancartmale1150]

I saw these guys less than a year before brian died and Ian was all "Thanks guys, we really needed this." I'm sure by then they knew he was pretty sick, great band. Art fueled by pain.

[@johnwbusbee]

Paulo should come back.

[@shokid]

John Busbee 100% agree, he fit in well with them.

[@rogerreynolds5822]

Holy fuck I never had a clue that Ian could whale like that. 🤘🏻

[@canadadiesel5824]

Canada's Chris Cornell

[@rogerreynolds5822]

As someone who misses Chris dearly I love this. 🔥

[@roxanneking3024]

He's effortless...killer guitar player

[@tiktokliveencounters9297]

LEGENDS!

[@MirrorDomains]

Wicked solo at the end!

[@arqnad]

GREEEAAATT!

[@MRxr400]

what a great song. almost thought it was an abstract cover of U2 - sunday bloody sunday.

[@dianjellorafiki5243]

My fav band but i like the extra guitar player

[@peaelare]

what effect was he controlling with that expression pedal? i couldn't discern it too well. was it a pitch effect...octave?

[@BTSrocker]

So from listening to a couple guitar related interviews, here's what's going on: Ian runs 3 amps. 2 of them are on at all times changing from clean to dirty. The 3rd amp is set very dirty and uses a volume pedal to bring the 3rd amp in. Hope this helps!

[@DeneyuAdam]

dayam playing all the small places, one question about this song does it literally mean come again or symbolic as in sya that again.

[@moebiwan]

Seems like 1, no matter his age, the douchebags keep coming. And 2, even though it's a struggle, he keeps coming back to face em regardless. As a child I found myself alone Always walking in defense Here they come again All I want to do was just get home But I'm pinned to the fence But here they come again I walked home all alone All this and more All this and more I guess this is living Would you come again? Could you come again? I never quite feel right But I come again Would you come again? Yes I've become a rock and roll cliché Because I 'm looking for revenge And here they come again I still walk home alone All this and more All this and more I guess this is living Would you come again? Could you come again? I never quite feel right But I come again Would you come again? All this and more All this and more I guess this is living Would you come again? Could you come again? I never quite feel right But I come again Could you come again? I guess this is living Would you come again? Could you come again? You never quite feel right But you come again Would you come again?

[@ROOKTABULA]

From a 4 piece to 5 to 4 to a 3 piece now..... 😔 Ian: Ya.need another guitar and voice on stage to do the these songs justice
