Ian Fletcher Thornley - Ghosts Jam (LIVE from the Suhr Factory Party 2016)

[@NinjaReyman]

Spotify randomly played Albatross on my way home a month ago. Never heard of this guy before then. Cant get enough of his music, beautiful voice and hell of a guitar player

[@2468468688369]

Same...I'm hooked. Just purchased a ton of their songs.

[@elainekelly4613]

Spread the news . Awesome band

[@letitbe90210]

i love back when musicians didnt care about screwing around on stage like this little riff battle between thornley and his slide guitarist, hilarious and adds so much too the show in terms of being unique. thats why i love music its so universal and its meant to just have fuckin fun you know?

[@richprincipe749]

Ian is grossly underrated as a guitarist, singer, writer

[@StratMatt777]

I love how the steel guitar player smiles after 6:19 when he realizes he just played the Super Mario Brothers video game sound that happens when you go down a tube into the underground! :D

[@shanehandke5755]

What a ridiculous assemblage of talent! Ian Thornley is easily one of the most talented rock musicians on the planet today, and Andy Wood is just an AMAZING player in his own right!

[@brandyapplebycharlton983]

This performance is so bone chilling. The bass, the guitar, the vocals, the lyrics, the bandmanship. And Ian’s incredible stage presence and talent. I can’t stop watching. There is no greater talent on this planet.

[@tomasanthonymusic2972]

I was sitting there going, "hmm, they sound good." But when he hit the first 2 notes of the solo... my ear went up like a dog's... "WHAAAT?!" Brought back SRV's ghost for this track... incredible.

[@elciomartinsbfilho]

He reminds me, eric johnson too, for a moment this fuzz....

[@ElRicoAlbridge]

That's an awesome comment. Love these guys, jealous. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@StratMatt777]

@@ElRicoAlbridge It's not actually difficult to imitate SRV. You just have to practice for 3 or 5 years. :) Coming up with your own thing that is interesting.... now that is a bit more complicated! The purpose of this comment is to tell you guys that you can play SRV licks too if you practice- it's not to diminish anyone- especially the best guitar player I know of- Ian! He said that when he was recording this song he was stuck for what to do for the solo and someone in the studio suggested he do SRV stuff and he thought, "Of course!". I love how the steel guitar player smiles after 6:19 when he realizes he just played the Super Mario Brothers video game sound that happens when you go down a tube into the underground!

[@pinkeye00]

I must have listened to this like 400 times already. So good.

[@danafisher8797]

I,m at 401 now, and it,s only 2 o,clock!

[@timmitchell1547]

I cannot tell you how many times I've watched and enjoyed this video in the last several month. Wow. This is just fire. 🔥🔥

[@brandyapplebycharlton983]

Saw them live for the first time about six years ago. Life changing. Best band ever.

[@kingswayguitar]

agreed

[@minkorrh]

Apparently you've never seen Devin Townsend. Not throwing any shade at all on Ian, but DT is at another level entirely. Depends on taste and it's all subjective, but Devin Townsend is a show like I've never seen and I know won't see again in my life. Power, energy, and good feels all in one. Literally jaw-dropping if you're into it. That being said, I won't miss the next time Ian Thornley comes home and plays. He needs to work on his vocals because he has an amazing voice. It's one of his strong suits I would say, but it's not shining here.

[@kikastra]

Absolutely!

[@khd17]

These suhr guitars and amps sound incredible! So proud to call Thornley Canadian!

[@albatross1985]

Only KZbin would place an Amazon ad right in the middle of an awesome guitar solo

[@dennisb6922]

One of the most under rated guitarist of this and many more generations.. Wow what a wicked bunch of players

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Steel is having so much fun. He gets tickled often at what he's doing. Makes the whole vibe of this show that much better.

[@davidbrannon363]

My GOD totally got lost watching them my old lady came in room and asked me if I was ok then I realized I was stomping my feet and head bobbing lol what a performance I've loved Ian since the 90's and Andy wood is one of my fav instrumental artist and travis troy is a straight beast thank u SUHR for this will be watching it a bunch !!! and wishing I had the money to buy Andy Woods sig axe

[@Pb-ij4ip]

Ian, you’re awesome,and you’re the star, but Dave...he’s awesome too! The base on this track is EPIC! (And I love how he looks like he loves playing more than life!).

[@brandyapplebycharlton983]

HOT Dave! ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️

[@zozohoney79]

Saw this a while ago, watched it again, and can't believe it doesn't have more views/comments than this....it's pretty badass. ALL of them are talented as fuck. Ian Thornley is ridiculous vocally, and with his guitar. I was lucky enough to see Big Wreck in a bar in the burbs of Montreal, with about 200 other people in '98 or '99 . Not enough of this these days...

[@thali3272]

Obsessed with this song.

[@danafisher8797]

i think i am up to somewhere 234 now

[@jorgemlcosta]

Vita Bella you’re not alone, I came here for a change from the Big Wrecks suhr factory version. I am listening to new music every month since the last 3/4 years and if I had to name a top song this would be the one. Ian is a fantastic composer and performer.

[@TheFreebirdcl]

Thalia Cecamore me too, i try to avoid it (in a good way) so i won’t go tired of it......even tho i think it’s impossible to get tired of it.

[@Maxxis1941]

I've been in love with this song since it was released. It's my favourite by far.

[@edwnorris]

Sure hope I don't jinx it, so I'll bury it here and not by itself, but I don't think I've ever seen such a widely viewed video with ZERO dislikes. How could anyone not love this?

[@vox7350]

Absolutely unreal

[@DrewJD]

You seriously can't pack any more talent or tone on that stage. The fucking walls would crumble.

[@JimmyBComputerGuy]

WOW! New fan here. That was really great!

[@TSimms7]

Afie. That solo, especially the country lick , is so incredibly clean. Can't help but do guitar face while listening to it. Thanks to you and the band for the creation.

[@mertozelmusic]

What a treat for the ears and the soul...Sublime musicianship, beautiful composition

[@ckjjclan]

It must feel AMAZING to command a song like this. To have so much groove and be in sync with each other. I have so much appreciation for this. Thanks for sharing it :-)

[@chabz77]

It must be fun to be that good.

[@JayTheLane]

Probably an insane amount of hours on the guitar, I'd reckon about 30000 to 40000 or even more. Natural talent is part of it, obsession and insane amounts amount of time practicing. I only started taking guitar seriously 4 years ago. I probably practice 2 hours a day. Practice makes a huge difference.

[@BluesDeville]

@@JayTheLane The crazy thing is that Ian was already an amazing player 20+ years prior to this show.

[@alg54]

Absolutely love Randy's drumming in this song. Takes it to another, higher level.

[@drumtravelfun]

Agree.

[@happycanayjian1582]

I was about to ask who was drumming until I found his name in the description. Yeah, he’s sick on the kit. He added lots of tasty stuff… 👌🏼

[@sheris7760]

tbh, one of the most beautiful melodies ever created. Such a gorgeous song.

[@angusbetty5186]

Just WOW!

[@jolewis9919]

Absolute killer of a performance all round.

[@MikeBiscuits27]

Most underrated band ever!

[@greenframer]

dam good Ian

[@MartinStrang]

Very solid band, tight rhythm section, very nice bass lines and the guy on the lap steel, superb as well. Guitars well obviously great

[@elizabethrigby3901]

I love you... ❤ Your music is magic to my ears.. can't wait for Abbotsford!!

[@barrywilson871]

The bass player rules this song 😊😊😊

[@leonardhill4440]

PRICELESS!!! Love the “monkey see monkey do” at the end… love it!

[@minkorrh]

Glad to see some love for Ian Thornley........arguably the one person who has shown amazingly powerful vocals after Chris Cornell, and has above average guitar skills and songwriting. Go dude.

[@grantdavid4553]

New to Big Wreck. I'm a bass player and guitarist. All I can say is fuck me sideways. Brilliant

[@snicklefritzthetab8411]

Amazing!!!!!

[@chaslaurie]

Randy..... your groove is killer.....

[@barbarabrown3100]

Love the spontaneity this jam created! Lots of talent here!

[@AntDeRoche]

The sound for this song/show is so well mixed! Randy's drums sound absolutely fantastic!

[@saralovesyoudotcom]

oh man. the level of skill + cool, is off the chart ... i know he's not super-concerned with cool~ but jeeez HE's SO COOL & AWESOME !!

[@guitarded222]

that jam at the end was mind-blowing, and the whole time there are just laughing and making it look so effortless!

[@JamesGrace-lp5wi]

You have inspired me since I was thirteen years old

[@davetube2ful]

first time seeing Ian, we all know Andy all these guy sound and play great.

[@jesse13022]

I got the chance to see them live , they were amazing to see and hear.

[@MarrtyJ]

What an incredible display of talent from the entire band!! Always been a fan - Ian and his band just get better and better....!

[@mustafatarek5793]

Greatings from egypt ❤️

I've watched alot of videos and the same bass player is in all of them, when you have the best keep them

[@paulawilliamson637]

Fuckin awesome guy. Man, this band will go viral. Epic.

[@realmichaelhawkins]

Very good players all the way around! Awesome!

[@urokmyworld]

Amazing!

[@biggingergit]

AWESOME !! SIMPLY AWESOME !!

[@JasonHobbsGuitarist]

Hey Ian, huge fan of your music and playing. \m/ this concert is mind blowing! cheers from up North Alberta!

[@johnw3443]

Man this awesome, thanks Ian and the fellas onstage with you!

[@JustinC905]

You know, this drummer is just as amazing as Sekou Lumumba. I love Sekou's work on Come Again. One of my favourite albums. This dude in the video has the same qualities, same grooviness! Ian definitely picks them quite well! Love it.

[@Angelicus-p5p]

And never forgotten...2021 Sekou joins Big Wreck as it's drummer!

[@s.h306]

Now I want a Suhr guitar. It's working!

[@betbuk]

BAAADASSS!!!

[@Geddyup]

Dave is a killer bass player!

[@cuttingthechord1419]

Dave who?

[@Geddyup]

MacMillan.......on bass

[@brandyapplebycharlton983]

HOT Dave 🔥❤️‍🔥

[@udaybhardwaj4589]

The bend at 9:46 , uuff... killed me.

[@thepoozer]

Andy is a beast

[@waynoh5229]

Otherworldly!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

Ian, Andy Wood, The bassist should be in a band called "Thank You Suhr".

[@dk3062]

To Suhr with love

[@fallcitys]

Holy shit

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Please find a way to get this online for us to buy? 2015 and 2016 shows kicked a@@ and would love to have them in my tunes collection. Please? Hope to see a collab with Larkin Poe on this tune. Be cool to see what Megan slaps back with :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@rohanganguli7556]

and thats how to start a great tune!

[@daringgreatly]

Daring Greatly was in the audience at this show :)

[@shorty004]

this is just pure fucking magic

[@omegapointil5741]

Nice , I'd love to hear that jam at the Grammys. So would everybody there even if they don't know it. Instrumentalism ought to get brought back into center stage tho Ian has the voice to equal anybody.

[@jefflozon8000]

Randy Cooke makes every recipe taste better.

[@peterkufner6148]

Super danke

[@fallcitys]

❤️

[@jamesbond9873]

Bass player is great 👍

[@rand98]

FUCK yes!!

sick bassline

[@vadimhoekstra9382]

Also a phenomenal drummer, interesting stuff behind the kit. Somevvhat reminiscent of Jeff Sipe's approach.

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Whole freaking band rocks it so hard!

[@mariedb4364]

Still watching! When you returning to Rochester, NY. Anthology?

[@kikastra]

The more I see this song performed live the more I love it. Was not really a fan of it until I saw Big Wreck live back in February, and now I love it, but it's still way better live than the studio version (which is still great, but I think the intended feeling of it isn't conveyed properly). Just my humble opinion.

[@Dorian2ification]

Prestine!

[@groovedohg]

SMOKING!!!! I take it this is the last song from Suhr 2016?

[@danafisher8797]

I think I,ve just had the best sex of my life, and I sure do like it. Music has plateaued and it don,t get better than this. Thank you.

[@rickhoffmann6884]

Check this out! Big Wreck from Canada. Ian Thornley is a monster player and his voice is eerily similar to Chris Cornell. My “new” favorite player.

[@denmalski]

some body wanted to start playing Cliffs of Dover at 8:22

[@DavidHiemstraMusic]

how dare they put an add in the middle of the solo.

[@glencruciani]

I wonder overdrive pedals Ian is using with his Bella amp? Killer lead tone in the middle of this jam!

[@tomasanthonymusic2972]

Im going to venture to guess and say hes using a ts808 tube screamer or a patch that mimic' SRV's tone... i perked up myself when i heard it!

[@RipVDub]

I'll venture that he's probably using a Suhr Shiba Drive and a Koko Boost...there is a Anderton's video that Ian did around this time that showed he was using all Suhr pedals. This is a Suhr show.

[@جينوراللاتي]

Hi

[@SDCDIABLO]

This is always like watchung surgury

[@indianrockstrat]

In the non-solo parts, what would you say Ian and Andy are using in terms of delay? Quarter note, dotted-eigth, mix, feedback? Stacked delays?

[@marcob6880]

But that neck pup awesome

[@CoMa_84]

That bass guy needs to pick it up and maybe play some technical stuff. Jesus hes good.

[@thepoozer]

Pedal steel gives up with Andy! lol

[@anyday82]

What color is Ian's guitar? Shoreline gold?

[@Stratamania]

Inca Silver

[@derockshun]

so should I delete the Big Wreck channel or what? How do we know this channel is really you Ian? or some other guy?

[@derockshun]

Well u know some people steal other ppls identity and videos on KZbin. I get sick of seeing video clips of subjects in more then one channel. Nothin is original anymore so...how do you know if this is really Ian or some other dude doing this for Ian?

[@kuladeeluxe]

Everyone who has seen this performance, skipped the ad the nano second they could. You got nothing for the money ...sucker!
