Big Wreck - The Oaf (My Luck Is Wasted) (Live at Q107)

[@markcpalumbo85]

The entire world should know the epic talent and rock goodness that is Ian Thornley and Big Wreck. This just unbelievably rocks.

[@brianmcgonigal229]

You are correct!

[@cherrypickerguitars]

Mark Palumbo Son of a bitch stole my drummer!

[@anthonyward8587]

So right man, these guys are great.

[@toddscully256]

@@cherrypickerguitars drummer is good for sure!!

[@198634]

One of the most underrated Canadian bands of all time !

[@harpz902]

just one of the most underated bands period !!

[@draganahardman7253]

I am from the UK and got to know this band only because I am listening the Toronto rock radio station. I love this band and I think that they are underrated globally, and it's a shame. I wish I could see this band in concert

[@elgringo6767]

The more this gets played the heavier it gets, damn sweet

[@mjmarcjohnston]

Really? How many times can these guys melt my face off?!

[@chadmartfeld]

Holy Eff . I think that's the best shit I've seen .

[@peekaboo4390]

I love this band.

[@ultimatebasses]

Seeing Big Wreck should be on everyone's Bucket List. This version of The Oaf is killer and the band just nails it.

[@nickwick35]

Unbelievable, it's so sad how underrated this band is.

[@HighGravity1100]

Leave it to the Berklee grads to throw one, solitary 5/4 measure into the middle of a 4/4 song lol. Love these guys!

[@drewbeans69]

What part of the song is that?

[@CamiloVelandia]

Saw these guys at the Suhr Factory Party during NAMM 2015. Blown away. Three guitar players all staying out of each other's way. Very musical

[@ronnie_5150]

2022 This song still gives me shivers. :)

[@johnbystra2783]

Ever since i found this version, i always come back to it. Even better than the version from the 2015 Suhr Factory Party that i end up listening to weekly, sometimes daily. So Beautiful and Face Smashing and Rockin'. I will Always Love Big Wreck.

[@francescoiesu7146]

This is the ultimate version of the song!!

[@garyarnold602]

...well FUCK ME!!! I only heard of these guys a week ago and I have devoted every spare minute to them...this is too good!!!!

[@boeingboy37]

Canada's best baby! Love you guys. Rocked the Commodore.

[@barbarabrown3100]

Many many thanks Q107 for hosting such a great Canadian band and posting these performances for us fans! Great job on the production of the videos.

[@resetproductions]

x10000 YES!!!

[@smashogre4766]

MAN what a cool version of a great song. And deliver unto me that bass tone!

[@shorty004]

one of the best songs ever made in the history of man

[@eddieVH23]

I love that the middle section solo thing is barley audible on the e-b-g strings, makes you really listen. Then when it kicks in it makes the sound seem gigantic.

[@nickwick35]

The return is gigantic, god that buildup and last chorus is unreal.

[@evanbyers2280]

your deadly man... I never get tired of hearing you do this tune , and it always has a magical but different feel each time , your high's on the end section... on this version , which last few versions i've heard you do it in the mid section as well , is unreal thanks for this Ian!!

[@nibbscbr]

I like this drummer

[@stewart8187]

Such a solid mix.

[@G-Man4809]

Still my most favorite Big Wreck song!!

[@sherrickcunningham2859]

Loved this album. Wish they would have done more.

[@Angelicus-p5p]

So all the other albums and EP's...? Pages?

[@kellyhopkins5576]

I love this, such a great band.

[@LanceKeltnerMusic]

My favorite band.. COME TO AUSTIN...

[@chevyanderson6267]

please come. to columbia south Carolina

[@fl6stringer]

Some of the best rock out there is/was created by this band and Ian Thornley. I never tire of them.

[@chuckmcgill4856]

22 more sleeps and I get to see Big Wreck,,,again, and again and,,,since 99

[@joeromano6021]

Have this band on again and I will subscribe.

[@greg657]

love 90's rock. one of the best riffs there is , equally as good as STP an interstate love song. both awesome,one no better than the other

[@moonlightdust1984]

I saw them in the 90's in Indianapolis & they rocked - cool guys too - this video sounds great...!

[@evanbyers2280]

Thanks Q107!!! Please post more , such a great job on production , sound and visual !!! awesome Job!!

[@SFO14]

So pissed I missed these guys at "Rock on the Range" in Columbus, OH a few years back.

[@larryshelast8979]

The drums sound and are played perfect on this song !

[@susanrachel3478]

Best band in Canada !

[@dfens666]

Apocalypse Now helicopter setting on the AXE FX for the intro? This is a great performance for Big Wreck (as usual).

[@hfbassist7756]

Audioslave reincarnated and I love it! But still original, great job fellas!

[@jibulous1]

These fellas were around most of a decade before Audioslave.

[@frostyriffs]

@@jibulous1 and Tom Morello isn’t nearly the guitar player Ian and Brian are either.

[@tambourini]

Thanks, Q107!

[@derekwillt]

Love this take on the song! =)

[@AlphaDawg77]

Man I would love to hear them do some Cornell covers!

[@paulsimoens4544]

I love that song.

[@GuitarChoi]

Good riff amazing song~!

[@patricksmalleyes8163]

Big wreck should be up there with The FooFighters

[@unicornravenxd4239]

THANK YOU IAN!!! AWESOME

[@DarkestofTimes]

God 4:10 sounds so cool

[@metalphobos3632]

Ian and Cornell are secretly brothers. Shhh, don't tell.

[@chipford1945]

With absolutely NO disrespect whatsoever meant toward Cornell... pretty sure Thornley is the stronger of the two

[@themcconnells]

so awesome

[@biggingergit]

Awesome !!!

[@betbuk]

Come talk about it! facebook.com/groups/BigWreck/

[@mrsrjayd]

Wow

[@cacox]

Personally I feel like there's a little too much tremolo. A little hard to make out the melody in some parts. Awesome performance though!

[@DeliriumOfTheMan]

I agree! But it also makes it more thick sounding :) which is good.

[@Cj-zg6gm]

He sounds a bit like Chris Cornell here. I really like this version.

[@johncrouch9909]

one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. wish you had sync'd audio and video properly during Ian's solo. Did you screw that up on purpose or what?

[@canaanatkinson7830]

[@canaanatkinson7830]

[@Hammersmashed68]

What's the tuning on this?

[@shimyns]

Starts out sounding like THE WHO. Then, sounds a lot like The Darkness. And also kinda like Robert Plant.

[@roachstj1]

Nope. Just sounds like Big Wreck

[@ryanzeigler9763]

What guitar is Ian using???

[@sronnoc13]

...six years later, it's a custom made for Ian by Jon Mouradian who was his guitar tech and a brilliant luthier. His dad made Chris Squire of Yes a custom bass. Talented family.

[@dalerethke8743]

ugh

[@hockeyteeth]

Bad to the 🦴
