One of the most underrated bands in the world. Very few lead singers take the lead guitar also. Time to Burn is a classic like this first album.

[@mantelmann13]

Dann Huff is a killer guitarist/musician. But I never liked most of the Giant songs. That's why I personally think that Giant was not really underrated. Their success was appropriate. I'll See You In My Dreams was a hit. One of the best powerballads ever. But besides that...hmmm.

[@petersmith1788]

@@mantelmann13 You need to take another listen to the second album, "Time to Burn." I actually thought the first album, outside of the ballad, was a little weak in the song department. But not on "Time to Burn." Great sings abound, rockers everywhere. Great album buried in the heinous onslaught of grunge.

Ein Album das ich seit Erscheinen immer wieder gerne höre, eines das irgendwie zeitlos erscheint, reißt mich immer wieder mit

[@ctfair]

Giant is one of those bands that seemed to be mostly overlooked by the industry mainstream. But that’s okay because when a lot of great bands become so overly commercialized they tend to lose their niche. But regardless of their popularity, they are still there to enjoy and appreciate for guys like me who still enjoy some good, straight ahead guitar rock. 👍

[@Yellowjacket1977]

@@ruiplas I just watched an interview with Mike Brignadelo. He played bass for Giant for 5 years. I know David Huff, Dan Huff's brother was the drummer. Who were the other members of the band?

[@hammer2fall2]

It doesn’t get any better than this. The whole band is fantastic, but to sing and play guitar both at that level is just unbelievable. Dan Huff is superman. And then he’s so sought as a Nashville producer. He’s got a clinical ability and kinda reminds me of Mutt Lang in terms of a unique sound you can hear in the production. When he produced Martina McBride on the wild angels album Dan plays the solo on Two more Bottles of Wine himself, and it’s blisteringly brilliant, even though played at much lower gain/distortion levels. Fast, thoughtful, cleverly constructed, even humorous. Her band guitarists must have felt inadequate listening to that. He just knows how to leave you wanting more. Like the outro solo that fades on Hold Back the night. I’d pay a ton of money to hear that unfaded. So damned good, these guys should have been superstars. Grunge wasn’t kind on them and others though.

[@hanskjaer1]

30 years later we still love their music. Come to Copenhagen Dan Huff and friends - we will take good care of you!

[@jefffaust89]

His vocals are almost as good as the album. That’s really something to me. Not too many singers sound as good if not better than the recordings. I wasn’t sure if his vocals were live in the beginning but I see where here and there he cuts his notes a bit short and there’s no backing track. He sure has one hell of a voice, with a lot of energy and rhythm in it.

[@chrislestermusic]

He doesnt even sing any more. Shame. I loved his voice.

[@TexasJackdaw]

Loved the reunion - except that Giant had a guest lead singer. It’s not that Dann couldn’t still sing the songs ( he couldn’t .. time, yeah?) - It’s that the Giant songs were recorded with Dann singing his best on “the” day in the studio. He always struggled with the vocals live. Not that he couldn’t sing the songs - just that he couldn’t sing those high notes every night. He’s said so in several interviews. Doesn’t matter to me - been a fan of his since WhiteHeart in the early 80s.

[@DELHERBEDISAR]

Great vocals.

[@mrmarshmadness1]

Nicely done! The band sounds great (whether or not some parts are overdubbed :-) - just a reference to earlier comments in the thread). Dann is such a fine musician and now producer. He does such a credible job handling the vocals in studio but I have to wonder if the band might have fared a bit better with a front man to complement his guitar chops? Seems like the label really tried to make him a "star" which doesn't seem like his bag at all. Even so - thanks for posting this. (BTW - I believe the "official" title of "Doctor Doctor" is "Bad Case of Lovin' You" - at least that's how Robert Palmer titled it. Cheers!

[@panavisionnot7180]

If only giant had hang around for a few more years longer ... They would have been been even more gigantic ... NB. I believe that this gig was later overdubbed.. due to apparent sound issues live.. e.g 31.18.. a bit like air guitar playing.. DH is still one of my favourite giants of guitar..

Used to really like this band. I saw them in Ft Meyers back in 89ish? but I thought they played as a 3 piece. Killer show. love that yellow Strat ultra with the push button selector switches. I forgot what a monster guitarist he was, I see where Reb Beach learned his tapping skills from!

[@larslevinberget9558]

...or the other way around, as Reb was earlier on the scene with that expanded tapping techique in 1987 along with Nuno in 1990

[@RobertJones-xq1si]

Looking closely at the solo at 14.10... There's definitely some miming going on here! There's an audible slide and bend when his hands aren't moving!? Maybe he overdubbed them to get them the way he wanted afterwards... But I remember this show from 1990. I'd accidentally recorded it at half 2 in the morning, as we Brits used to get one hour a week of decent music shows and they were always on in the middle of the night. I watched it many times and you still have to admire the musicianship. This was a forerunner to me discoving Halen, Extreme etc.

[@tiiito1988]

Did they play "I'll see you in my dreams" ?

[@nitro_001newman2]

You’re wrong, because they have another guitarist playing mostly rhythm. It’s like James Hetfield sometimes plays lead over Kirk Hammet, or he adds some playing to Kirk in Metallica. Same with Giant.

[@RobertJones-xq1si]

@@nitro_001newman2 From a guy whose been playing guitar for 30 years, trust me, I'm absolutely not wrong about anything... 😂 I fully understand how the principles of lead and rhythm guitars work. The issue here is that the video is out of sync with the notes in the solo. Absolutely nothing to do with a rhythm part underneath or any other such irrelevance. You either understand these things or you don't...

[@nitro_001newman2]

@@RobertJones-xq1si Got it, but I don’t see why a great guitarist like Dan Huff is going to overdub anything he plays on guitar. He’s too good to do that. I think you’re now trying to say the video was maybe a little delayed, or wasn’t matching. I’ll buy that!

[@RobertJones-xq1si]

@@nitro_001newman2 You really don't understand. No point guessing at what I'm trying or not trying to say... At 14.19, there's a typical blues rock bend that know from experience exactly where his hands would need to be on the fretboard. Instead, he's sliding down on his low E string, again, a very noticeable sound to anyone who's played guitar... The rest of it looks very well replicated. It's not the video being out of sync. But I'll leave you to your own conclusions...
