King Gizzard is hands down the best and most prolific rock band of the last decade, bar none, and I firmly believe they will be remembered for decades after they call it quits. They are also criminally unknown outside of Australia, although this is quickly changing... Just this month they are releasing THREE new albums! Dive in buddy, even if you don't do it on the channel this is one discography you'll want to listen to in its entirety! Most of their songs also include some environmental message...

Great to see you've finally listened to King Gizzard! I'd highly recommend listening to the entirety of Nonagon Infinity. Entire album is essentially a garage-punk take on Octavarium

[@momsspaghetti7165]

Holy shit that makes so much sense actually

[@QuillC]

^ Nonagon is probably my favorite of theirs (it's a tough choice, so many masterpieces). I love how thoroughly cohesive it is, a perfect loop from start to finish, weaving themes through every track. Even more unique, tracks even flow beautifully between each other, even when shuffled. Something I really appreciate about King Gizz, is that all of their albums are, in various ways, concept albums. Sometimes many heavily integrated overt concepts ("Polygonwanaland", and "Ice, death, [...]" Come to mind.), And other times ideas like "Let's make a series of albums on a microtonal scale". Always so much to explore, and (for me) often a doorway to learning super interesting music theory.

[@shayneshobbies]

" They're also releasing THREE albums in the next month or so (one just came out Friday).

[@Greenlink01]

They played nearly 4 hours at Red Rocks on October 11th, it was a "Marathon Set" and that was an understatement. Played music from nearly all of their albums, all in one show. They did this "Marathon Set" 2 days in a row, October 10th & 11th. These guys are musicians musicians. That show has no peer that I know of, and I'm confident no other band has the talent, endurance, or desire to do anything like what they did. This band will be discussed by musical teachers in a few years. Genuinely, there may not be another band like them now or ever and I'm so grateful. I met them the very next night (October 12th) in Denver at Marquis Theatre, where another Australian band, The Babe Rainbow, was playing. Both bands are buds, and to see Ambrose, Joey, and Cavs there and shake their hands was wild. They were down to Earth and gracious. These guys can't be stopped.

Iron Lung is a great song off this brand new album!

[@fenncarr3774]

Gonna be honest nonagon is kinda overrated. The individual songs aren’t as strong as most of their other albums and the perfect loop only works by basically having a sort of interlude between songs. A more perfect infinite loop album is mercurial world by Magdalena bay.

Greetings from Scotland. King Gizzard is my favourite band of the last few years. I've seen them 5 times and can't wait to see them again. Recently I travelled from Scotland to Munich to see them but they cancelled at the last moment. So many great albums to check out. Look out as well for Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Beautify Junkyards, Garcia Peoples, Rose City Band and Widespread Panic. All of these last ones were found during lockdown and helped so much during that horrible time. Cudos and respect for reviewing the Gizzmeisters. You are truly going down the rabbit hole.

[@el-wn4ds]

Glad to see you and Giz have found each other. I liked how you interpreted the lyrics but wanted to share that the band is known for their environmentalist lyrics and this song is generally thought to be about not acting (it not turning off the dripping tap) on all the things we could be doing to slow, stop, or reverse climate change. I think it applies individually and definitely in a corporate level (the suits in charge of the world). So yes you can let your hair down and rock out to this one, but the lyrical content is actually quite heavy when you really take it in. Thanks for your perspective on this track and I hope you get a chance to check out more King Gizzard. Their discography can be initiating but I think you'd like their new album Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms And Lava (one song in each Greek Mode), Polygondwanaland (polyrhythmic album), and quarters (chill and jazzy). They also have a Turkish inspired (but not resulting in a Turkish style) microtonal trilogy of albums: Flying Microtonal Banana, KG, & LW

I like your interpretation of the meaning of the song.

very awesome to watch you work out the intricacy’s of the musical talent in your head

[@WingsAboveCS]

I went to a KGLW concert in Amsterdam a few months back, i expected them to start with some shorter, lesser known songs to get the crowd warmed up like i am used to with other bands, and i was hoping they would play the dripping tap as the big finale or something. What a fool i was. There was no warm up, no boring less popular songs, they started with the dripping tap, and when the drop at 5:33 happened the entire crowd just erupted, which they kept up for 2 hours straight, only interupted by the mosh pit sitting down and rowing for a song. KGLW and it's fans are insane and i love it, 10/10 One of the best bands that give the best concerts.

I highly recommend you to try the microtonal albums from KG&LW, it would be a great new experience

[@BalefulBunyip]

Agree if you want to listen to something really different the 24 tone scale really make you listen with truly fresh ears.

[@DonPiruflo]

I hope you react to Crumbling Castle by King Gizzard next time !

[@BumpfAkker]

yessir! or the whole of Polygondwanaland -- prog Gizzard

[@charlesandrews2360]

They don't zig zag. They weave and blend. The song absolutely blew me away when I heard it last May. It was the first of their music I had ever listened to. It's a tour de force. Instant classic

[@felippebueno6046]

i just love those australians dudes so much

[@campbell5431]

I honestly didnt expect how much I would enjoy this video great work doug!

[@sethkaicer319]

Doug saved by very soul and didn't even know he did.

[@OhRelaxAlex]

LETS GOOO! I cannot BELIVE I’m seeing them live on Halloween NIGHT!! 🤘🏾

[@jpnarrations1180]

As a long time Gizz fan, I always get excited when people discover their sound. You should definitely check out their microtonal stuff like Sleep Drifter, Pleura, or O.N.E.

[@johnkovac3297]

ALWAYS read along with their lyrics, maybe not at first listen, but it adds so much more to what they’re trying to convey

[@botz77]

This is the first song I heard from them too, just a couple months ago. Now I own twelve of their vinyl. It's a dangerous rabbit hole.

[@Lounge-lizard]

First time watching you’re videos…. Glad to see you enjoyed King Gizz, they’re one hell of a trip

[@happiechappie76]

Head On / Pill was my first introduction to the band years ago...another long jam...but so, so good. Been a huge fan since. They never fail to amaze and entertain...and incredibly prolific as you said. What a band. Great to see you getting into them. Welcome to the world of KGATLW 😊

[@cdelo2]

King Gizzard And The Lizzard Wizard fan new to your KZbin channel . Appreciate your take on this song . This band is insanely diverse and technically brilliant.

[@pillsareyummy]

I heard this band a couple of years ago (some obscure radio station) driving late at night. They sounded like prog out of the 70s. Cool stuff.

[@pillsareyummy]

@@DeclannShieldsFilms I forgot to include the word 'band' in my comment.

[@chinard]

So happy you have discovered the gizzverse! These guys are hands down the most interesting thing in new music. You should really dig in deeper, these guys love to get nerdry with wacky music theory concepts that you would love

[@InsomniacRocker]

Love watching the daily doug here and there and so excited to see that I somehow missed him doing KGATLW! Best band of the last decade!

[@calebpruitt9973]

The album I highly recommend is Nonagon Infinity. That album is the perfect intro to what this band can do. A 9 song album that is technically one never ending song. As always keep up the great reactions.

[@Apollophelia]

Huge Gizz fan, first time seeing your content and oh my goodness what a great watch. Your content is great and I'm a huge fan! Loved your perspective with music theory, so entertaining the whole way through

[@zack2zack215]

Thank you for that bit at the end you explained everything perfectly for just taking in gizzard and dripping tap and fully getting it!

[@Jade.Palace]

had an absolute blast watching you jam to my favorite band. hope to see more!

[@tiana3750]

Great video, please give their latest album a listen!! :) Each song is written in a different mode! My personal favorites are Iron Lung and Magma, but every song has so much to unpack and love about it. They have another new record coming out Tuesday, AND another album coming out near the end of October!! I'd love to hear more of your takes!
