Now This Is A Proper Collaboration with Slash!

[@nallekarhu7994]

Dandys are my favourite band.

[@mamukaochigava5071]

It’s amazing how Justin can hear the tune and play it, he is not only a very talented artist but also so articulate, beautifully spoken, witty, smart and always entertaining and humble. Such a comedian

[@magpiegoespop76]

Came hear to say exactly the same thing! Plus also his ability to associate melodies with past tunes 😃 Your message was first up on my feed!

[@nicholaskruger9460]

One time Courtney came over cause I lived with girlfriend and I had a charvel metal guitar in 95’ and he played it for a minute and then said, oh what if someone sees me? Cause it wouldn’t be cool to be seen in 95’ with a metal guitar with a pointy headstock. I thought that was funny. Making fun of himself if seen as not cool. 😅

[@venniedjr]

The Dandy Warhols are my favorite band. So awesome to see you do a video on one of their songs

[@MarcusStephenson1970]

I'm a Dandy too❤

[@billybobtexas]

Hail Mary is a reference to a Hail Mary Pass in American Football, where the team thats down by one point up against the timer, throws the ball far down the field with a hope and a prayer that the guy catches it and makes it to the touchdown or at least a first down. It’s a hope and a prayer in the face of adversity. Completed hail mary passes that have won the game in the last second of a timer are incredibly exciting.

between this and their song with frank black i'm pretty pumped for whatever album the dandies are dropping next

[@grizzla71]

I wish there were more collaborations like this. They introduce fans of one to fans of another. The outcome is a piece of work you’d never expect as the artists bounce their creative juices off one another.

[@christophertheiss8877]

Used to see the Dandys back when they first started out in Portland OR at a club I worked at (Berbati's Pan) and up Burnside at The X-Ray Cafe in the mid nineties if anyone here remembers them. Sadly, both clubs are long gone but glad to see The Dandy Warhols are still making great music!

Looking great Justin! All the best to you mate and all the rest of the gang as well 🌹🎸🤓👍🌻🥇

[@Mitchell_E_Underscore]

I really enjoy Justin's combination of entertaining analysis and musical education. Through this channel, I feel like I've learned to hear things in songs that I never really noticed before - and even learned WHY those sounds might be there. As a lifelong music lover who is not at all musically inclined, I appreciate the insights!

[@greva2904]

The Dandy’s are my all time favourite band ever, even more than Bauhaus, Curve and the Sisters of Mercy. Ok, they’ve been off the boil for years, but when they’re great they’re still great. Also Courtney’s actual name is Courtney Taylor. The Taylor-Taylor thing is an in joke after a music journalist got his name wrong.

[@kennymclaughlin5812]

Had a quick look through the other comments, really surprised nobody has noticed it sound a lot like BRMC, which is awesome, love it

[@DonnaGisellaTranchel]

This IS a very good song! Already on my list. Thanks! 💙💙💙💙💙🦩✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Oh WOW, thanks for bringing in the Dandys. Im seeing them in a couple of weeks in Toronto. This song it great, and yes still around. Coolest band on the planet ❤

My old roommate tattooed Courtney and Zia and knew the Dandy’s well. One night I came home from work their van was outside my house and the Dandy’s were in my back yard while my roommate was playing Boys Better on his bass while singing his guts out. lol Super cringey and amazing night. Lol

[@HarkerLoder]

[@brianrouse147]

Some interesting stuff about this band and video. I was in a band in Portland Oregon in the late 80's and through the 90's. Dandy's opened up for a band I was in when they started out at some rock clubs in Portland area. The other interesting thing is the ship in the video. The New Carrissa ran aground during a storm and broke apart in Coos Bay and sat on the beach for years and was eventually salvaged but large sections were there for a long time. Not many outside of Oregon would remember or know about that ship. Glad these guys are still at it!!!!!

[@marcusharrigan6879]

I saw them some years ago. They could generate that hypnotic thing on stage. Unique band.

You should watch "Dig!" It is the Dandy's and Jonestown's co-rockumentary.

They’re not really rivals like the movie makes them out to be but there was definitely some tension between the 2 bands at one point.

[@Gira21Gramos]

The Dandys never went away and every album is different. They are all recognizable as the Dandys but each one has a different style. I suspect you would like Earth to the Dandy Warhols.

[@therapist6328]

Who wouldn't?

[@catchofthedave8681]

Bro, I love what the Dandies have been doing recently. I went and saw them live in Chicago last year, and they were really good, as I haven't been following them as much as BJM. When i saw this Slash song come out, the video was awesome, and the main fuzzy riff reminds one of vintage Smashing Pumpkins.... Slash is a beast and, it's a beast of a song/video. Not only are the Dandies creating good music these days, I also saw BJM last year in Cincy. In the past, Anton of BJM sabatoged his band and record deals over and over again in the 90's early 2000's. Eventually he finally got it together after moving to Germany, and started seeing some success and movies and hbo series wanting his music. A lot of times as bands and people get older, they get less creative and lose the magic. But the most recent Brian jonestown Massacre album "the future is your past" is maybe one of the best albums he has ever made. I always loved the older stuff like "their Satanic majesties second request" and my old favorite was "strung out in heaven", the album that matt hollywood had to finish because anton was so bad off on H. But this newest album is special, I suggest everyone take a listen.

[@guybailey1]

As a non musician I sit here in awe at the way you dissect a song and highlight stuff us mere mortals can only dream of. I do wonder though, if having that ability is also a bit of a curse, in case your thoughts get in the way of enjoying the music like we do. Just a thought 😅

[@DanFedMusic]

It sounds like what we think Vietnam sounds like because we saw movies about Vietnam that taught us a perception of what Vietnam sounds like based on the Directors interpretation of what Vietnam sounds like.

[@chrislloydguitarist]

I think you're thinking of Caroline or maybe Down, Down by the Quo. I could be wrong. Bloody love the Quo tho, first proper rock concert I went to as a wee lad at the NEC in Brum....in 198??....err...in the past.

I hung out with the Dandys a good year before this release. They mentioned having a rock album with guests including Slash. Ha! No one on the GNR forums believed me. Dandys are cool AF. Axl is also into them. Definitely one of those bands that I would go see multiple times in a row and have. Same thing with Guns. Yeah that collaboration is brilliant.

[@jacq38401]

I loved this, beautiful, powerful guitar sound, hypnotic drum beat, put me in mind of Kashmir in that respect. The song did not call for any drum frills, the steady beat was all it needed with the snare trills adding that touch of movement.... Constant, carrying the music. I don't know this band, but I'm glad to have heard them now.. Slash as a guitarist is very talented, this partnership works superbly. Amazing video, visually emotive and surreal, but I'm not a great fan of AI, I don't like where it may take Humanity. You were on top form today, Justin, I could tell how much you enjoyed analysing this song, and I really enjoyed your brilliant, technical knowledge and encyclopedic mind! Cannot wait for your JHRA Leeds show... Don't be nervous, you will be extraordinary.
