Big Wreck "Come Again" w jam Altar 4-9-13

Great band with a CD available now called Albatross. Amazon has special price right now but go get it!

[@Kjell777Iverson]

Here 10 years later and the look on Ian's face when he realises he landed it still makes me smile. Glad I got to see these guys live before Brian passed. Rest in peace, Brian.

[@jimbrown9477]

just curious because i only know about this song from thornley, but is this also a big wreck song? and who was brian? this video is just killer and the band sounds so amazing!!

[@SillyGoose2024]

​@jimbrown9477 well it was written when it was Ian's solo project, Thornley but yes his current band big wreck of course play some material from his solo records like this. Brian is the guy on the double neck and succumbed to cancer in 2019

[@sudsysutherland359]

Thornley got to play on late night with Jay Leno which is on KZbin 🤘

[@timmcnabb2282]

I don't know if you noticed but this may have been the best live solo EVER! Best he's ever played and that's saying alot! I've watched dozens of BW stuff and you can tell by the bands reaction and his smile at the end that that solo FN killed!! I mean he left nothing to doubt, there's nothing left, he just gave us everything! If you play guitar and could "lift" 1 or 2 things from it, you'd be the best guitar player in your town.

[@tromboner53]

Rest in Peace Brian, we will always miss you

[@NinjaReyman]

Had no idea 😢

[@Kjell777Iverson]

Easily one of the most under rated guitarists ever.

[@johnreid2962]

Took me 51 years to find one of the best bands I've ever heard!

[@briangourley8839]

Yee bro🤣

[@valeriek.6564]

Yasss, booouyyy(in a Canadian accent). I discovered what I believe to be the same as your opinion, about 14 years prior to you, but I toootallly agree with your opinion 💯 100% 😉😊😆 This is one of my most favorite live performances, ever out of all Big Wreck's, as well as Ian's solo live gigs If you haven't already, you should check out Ian, Big Wreck, live performances, at Suhr(guitar brand Ian loves to play) Factory Parties. They rock, too! Where are you from, btw? Anywhere, in Canada, that Ian & Big Wreck often frequent?

[@valeriek.6564]

"Blown Wide Open", Altar Bar, also a favorite Big Wreck live performance of mine 😉😊 You, too 🙄 ? I am in IA, 50 y.o. , Big Wreck, Thornley, Ian Fletcher Thornley, fiend! Lol

[@josephvega3763]

@JohnReid Idk why they arent the biggest band in the world

[@gregsallin9385]

Same here!

[@timstevens3361]

i keep watching this fckn video idky but ya. mabe 60 times now. love the sound !

[@BowlDJB]

How is this not at 1 Million views yet?? Seriously let's talk about it.

[@JRLites1]

You know when Ian flicks out his ear monitor your in for a freakin crazy good solo!!!!!!!

[@tomeklawreszuk]

Best guitar solo EVER! Just WOW!

[@willbackenstoe9247]

Seen them twice in Charlotte amos's South end back when they first started can't remember the bands that they opened for but man that's who I remember they were freaking awesome live is the best for this band

[@BluesDeville]

I'm typically not one for long indulgent solos, but Ian knows how to keep them tasteful and maintain melody. Those last couple of bends he hits after kicking in another gain stage at 7:50, specifically that major 2nd vibrato into the final minor 3rd bend on the 24th fret at the very end, was fuckin' sick. You gotta have some strong fingers to bend that shit like that that far up the neck where the strings are very tight...especially after having just tired out your hand playing all of those triads. It just topped off a great solo that built up to that awesome crescendo.

[@holydrewskie]

I love the smile on his face after the solo. I agree this is one of the finest examples of Come Again. I So much wish they would do a "studio version" of "this version" ...at 10 minutes long!

[@SillyGoose2024]

they kinda do. from the dunlop sessions.

[@dundun8323]

buddy this gave me pure chills.............

[@jamesrazor1668]

WOW JUST WOW 😮😊❤

[@glennt9726]

Holy shit!!! That solo.....Ian Thornley is amazing

[@kcr4388]

I've watched this over 20 times.. everything I love in a band... saw them live three times. always amazing. You're an inspiration Ian. and such a cool guy. way to be humble and awesome. killing it!

[@TylerPead]

That Guitar Solo Though.... What a beautiful musician Ian is.... awesome guy too!! Class act!

[@johnpeterson5354]

Charlotte, NC June 8, 2023 . . . . . It's been a while.

[@451dskots88]

that solo was indescribably f*cling amazing.

[@josephvega3763]

Seriously I don't even know what to say anymore about these guys/Ian ...just amazing 👏

[@jollyharris]

what a way to end a show - i lose my mind and piss my pants every time i watch this. My girlfriend won't let me watch this stunning performance in freshly laundered trousers

[@hana1cd]

Incredible! Takes me back to 04

[@78spinner44]

Incredible. Thank you for posting this.

[@guitarded222]

That jam in the middle was unreal!

[@babyboi9212]

RIP brother ! You are truly missed!

[@timstevens3361]

holy freq this just fits my brain

[@maluorno]

This version of this song makes me smile for various reasons, but especially since nobody that originally recorded it is playing here. They're still playing the shit out of it and having a great time doin' it and keeping the original vibe/ tempo/ flavour intact.

[@johngraboski]

been loving BW since 2002! The Greatest Bands "nobody has ever heard of."

[@nicbrunet4359]

Easily one of the best guitarists and his band... wow

[@djduguay]

Wow...I cannot wait to see Big Wreck again!

[@Wassy_eats_wassy_global]

Man this comment resonates with me so much given this effing pandemic madness... cannot wait!!!

[@djduguay]

@@Wassy_eats_wassy_global I hear ya buddy!

[@ryanlangford149]

It's like almost musicianship isn't valued anymore....I mean, screw the mainstream but this is incredible. Catchy and so music. I love how we areni't governed by the radio.... great music has no fences. This solo is gospel. One of the greatest Canadian/bands of our time. An inspiration to those few left that dare to pick up an instrument. And I pray kids in their bedrooms dream to do. \_.

[@testtube_alien]

Yeah took me a while too. When I was 15, it was BTO. So yeah finally.

[@jez9951]

I've heard a lot of guitar solos in my time and this is easily one of the best. those sweeps... If i can get to be half the guitarist of Ian one day i'll be happy.

[@JaredKerim]

Absolutely unbelievable, I wish to God I could've seen this. Thanks so much for the video!

[@mikemartin6554]

great great band! great music/songs.Ian Thornley....possibly the most gifted man I've seen/heard in the rock music industry.I only heard of these guys a month or so ago...I know! Where have I been hiding?!

[@ZinfandelRed1914]

+Mike Martin The only other guy I seen live with this much talent is Jeff Martin. Watched him go through over 20 instruments himself that night, dude is off the charts good...him and Thornley together would probably melt our brains.

[@5575gb]

Man why don't they release a studio version of this, incredible! One hell of a solo to boot! Thanks a ton for capturing this on video for those of us unable to see these guys live! The sound is damn good as well, thank you thank you thank you!

[@danyeo]

This song is on the first Thornley album.

[@orynzarael6411]

I concur; thank you very much man! 👍🏻

[@derekhaley8071]

Unbelievable… so fuckin good!

[@JohnLaco]

Love how Chuck hits the ride by accident during his opening fill then him and Dave are both laughing about it for the whole intro. That's what I love about playing on stage. The fun nerdy moments you have with your bandmates make the coolest relationships

[@ChristinaMariaMoonchild]

John Laco I think they’re laughing because they snuck the intro to that Phil Collins song in there too 😂 And I agree, I love seeing them have these little jokes and laughs on stage, nothing helps me get off on a performance more than watching the band getting off on it too.

[@Excalibur2112]

A well oiled, powerful machine, that's the best way to describe Big Wreck @ this juncture.

[@33cnb]

seen them play in a lil bar in Charlotown P.E.I. about 10 years ago. best show ever. seen ac/dc and the stones with 200k other people...... big in that lil bar with 500 peeps out shines the other 2 by far!

[@charlesleger8628]

I am now convinced that Mr. Thornley is superhuman!

[@kellyhopkins5576]

Ian's guitar solo is right up there with Terry Kath's 25 or 6 to 4 at Tanglewood. Pure passion and other-worldly.

[@timstevens3361]

AWESOME !

[@MichelleJones-t2p]

I love this man

[@jasonwilson7308]

I was standing right behind you as you were filming this. THANK YOU SO MUCH for recording and posting this!!! I live in Atlanta and my wife and I drove 17 hours to see this AMAZING show!! This was a birthday surprise for me from my awesome wife (whom I've converted into a HUGE Big Wreck fan) and now thanks to you, I can always revisit it!! What an amazing show!!! The added bonus was of course meeting Ian and the guys afterwards.....did you also meet them?

[@Ireallylovethatsong]

I did meet! Thanks for comment and happy you are able to revisit epic night!

[@sanchezzz1]

Jason Wilson Man it warms my heart that Americans can appreciate this(my favorite) band. Not too many Canadian bands do very well down there. V

[@danyeo]

Love them. I saw them in Seabright New Jersey at a club called Tradewinds in 1997 or 1998. There was maybe 150 people there. But those there were into it. I wish the local station down here, 105.5, would play them but they're too busy playing Shinedown and Halestorm every 5 minutes. If they'll play Theory Of a Deadman I don't get why they won't play Big Wreck. I've requested a lot and they ignore me. They DID play In Loving Memory in the 90's when it came out, nothing since.

[@redweber7011]

Jason Wilson that's awesome!!

[@josephvega3763]

@@sanchezzz1 they are easily one of the greatest bands of all time and I wish they'd come to South Texas

Is it me or does the first 1:50 of this song sound similar to U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday.

[@johnbystra2783]

Indeed.

[@1486luana]

Harry, did you ever come to Guelph Ontario to see Big Wreck play at an old Theater? I believe I may have meet you and your wife or significant other at that time

[@ROOKTABULA]

Remember talking with Brian and Ian at a club in 98 when their shitty, unknown, opening band called _Nickelback_ was playing their derivative shite. I asked Ian, "WHY are you guys on your with Jesus and his wannabe Bush wannabe Nirvana band? Same management?" He smiled and then chuckled. I took that as a yes. Needless to say, BW made us forget about Chad Kroaker and his band 1/2 way thru the first song. In the next 2 years we'd have more proof there was no justice in the universe and that the music buying public is overrun by mouth breathers as BW's 2nd album stiffed, they broke up and Nickelhack became massive.

[@Sherky81]

I think Mustaine would be a better comparison than Hammett. Lead guitarist that sings. Hammett pales in comparison. Good guitarist, no question though.
