[@BryanBeeMusic]

alot of songs i never thought i'd see acoustic. he was going crazy during dangerous liasons

[@mrmogford8117]

That dangerous liaisons was fucking nuts

[@Scootz_]

Greep has got the chops man. Im down for this new era of Greepage

[@elliot2392]

what a beautiful rendition of marlene dietrich

[@skatemore6108]

Dangerous Liasons is amazing. His capacity for storytelling and committing to these characters in his songs is really exciting. I have no clue how this dude slipped my radar for so long

Stunning and big respect to the quiet audience just feeling the vibe!

[@banana6250]

Marlene dietrich makes me cry

[@wyattk.4304]

The dangerous liaisons acoustic version gave me goosebumps, this man is supernatural

[@lucab1090]

lots of the ballads i love it

[@brandonburroughs7128]

Dangerous Liaisons was incredible

[@odraheim]

god this guy's so talented. laughed at him getting so into the magician that he had to take a break to wipe the sweat off his face and then got it all over the fretboard as he continued to absolutely dominate the room. what a cool dude

[@plasmaearth1796]

the audible gasp from the crowd after he says “ejaculation” in Marlene Dietrich

[@Troutani]

😂

[@fidel1o]

i think it was a yawn but a gasp is much funnier

[@pesosgouda8223]

heavens me!

[@jamrockdoom]

i come back to this video often for aching knees :) such a cute song

[@amycaek]

@@jamrockdoom same! Great performance

[@AM-pleistocene]

This is one of my favourite performances of his, i hope he does another acoustic set one day

[@Bwethhh]

I barely listened to black midi but I’m loving his solo stuff so far

[@franta7294]

most of these are black midi ballads

[@Bwethhh]

@@franta7294 I found that later after I posted that comment, his new single is really good tho

[@fenomenoveintitres9268]

insane

[@ironicockxssleep64290]

Due to the declining amount of pollution on the land, we now see more of Geordie Greep in his habitat

[@Ajsjdjdhhd7]

This is insane, he’s so talented man

unhinged talent! a rare gift

@4:43 sounds like that song from Zelda

[@dijjidog]

yo u got a shoutout at the start!

[@salveregina-n6q]

man, i love it

[@raph2k01]

Yeah he's not tim bernardes or ze ibarra when it comes to solo guitar arrangements but there's always something amazing about listening to these guitar parts being stripped to the bare minimum. Really cool stuff.

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

I'm so glad Black Midi is on hiatus.

[@Razzy7]

he does miss oh my god this was great

Baldie Greep 👨🏻‍🦲👑🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️

[@mayhem492]

What a strange accent!

[@elliot2392]

It’s been described as “geographically unclassifiable”

[@akf2000]

ikr he was born and raised in London but sounds Dutch

[@eggeggegg27]

I've never really got the confusion about his accent tbh, he sounds like a 25 year old who's grown up in a multicultural area of London, i.e. very much obviously a London accent

[@buzzsburner.8286]

so I think for better or worse, we can all agree now, that black midi was essentially just geordie greep with a backing band

[@EwanNDW]

Bullshit. You can highlight Geordie's incredible musicianship without undermining Cam and Morgan's.

[@esther8262]

😐↔️

[@Euclideia]

No.

[@owenpattaylor]

everyone is going to yell at you for this but you're kind of right

[@stephenhutto7481]

You don’t have BM without Morgan Simpson or Cam either.

[@tedscanlon4666]

I do not understand the appeal of this. The chord progressions go nowhere, the rhythm never finds a pocket, the talk/singing with a weird accent is just excruciating, the leads sound like someone pretending to play jazz, and the melodies are torturously meandering.

[@worms8759]

me when i approach music at a surface level listen to the defence or the magician and come back and tell me if the chords go nowhere. You can have your opinion on how he sings but the musicality is insane. anyone with above a highschool level of music theory knowledge can tell that the chords do in fact go somewhere. Might there be dissonance? absolutely, but so does berlioz's symphony fantasique, or Brahms first symphony. even Beethoven's eroica. you dont have to like it, but please dont undermine the thought that goes behind this stuff

[@tedscanlon4666]

@@worms8759 I’m in fact well educated in chord theory. Give me some specifics as to what is going on here, chord-wise, that is impressive.

[@worms8759]

@@tedscanlon4666 to tackle the defence, you said the music (in general) goes nowhere in its chords. This is just a flat out lie. The central note / key of this song is C, a pretty average key, and the central chords is C, F, G; or the I, IV, V. This is the basic building blocks of most music, pop, classical, jazz. Almost ever phrase starts on the I, finds its way to the IV, and ends on the V. So the claim it has no direction and goes nowhere is flat out true, as it follows the principle rules of direction in music theory. What happens between the I, IV, and V is where the real magic happens, it utilizes mode mixture (Major III chord), secondary dominants (E to A minor, or V/vi) which follows proper direction suggestions. It may sounds weird but that’s because of the instrumentation, rhythm, and mood. This is just one song with many others like it that branch out to their own wildness

[@paddybuckley9873]

Let me just offer some context, I was there. This was greep’s first ever solo set, especially to do it acoustic in a small room which was SUPER hot, he even said please have a kind heart, he was nervous. Listen to the live stuff he has done with his new sound band at most of the shows he has done post black midi, have been so good. And if that’s not enough, just listen to his work in black midi. This isn’t his best performance of course, but cut him some slack lol.

[@tedscanlon4666]

@@paddybuckley9873 fair enough... I appreciate the context. cheers
