The Reverend Horton Heat - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat]

Gonna say it - Jim's smiles, grins and winks totally make it. He looks like if suddenly your grandfather turned into Superman, and then winked that it was just a family secret.

[@williamroberson6758]

Seems like you’d be a good writer off this

[@Echocat59]

His bizarre cadence and his drone chords are super uniquely his. Hes a master guitarist. He creates such a weird atmosphere. I learned so much about guitar from this guy. Make no mistake, this is high art and folk art together as 1.

[@peanutheadslickerthanbadjo9740]

Joker23 wow I just thought it sounded good and the old lady will dance !

[@Sinfulgaiden]

I like this comment. Thanks for sharing.

[@TwangDog]

100% agree.

[@travisvick792]

I take so much inspiration from his guitar playing

[@Transporter33]

Perfection for a response

[@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat]

really subtle thing I notice here and caught when I saw them in concert - the rhythm section. Jimbo will do some snaps (i.e. letting the string hit the fretboard after plucking) and slaps (i.e. hitting the fretboard), then will switch to traditional non-slap playing while rim shots are taken. So you always (or often) have that famous slap sound, but it moves back and forth for a different texture. its the little things that make this band.

[@n.e.nichtmaus927]

That’s a clever ear you’ve got and thanks for sharing it… Damn there’s a lot to like with these guys

[@rideshareog]

Rev bringing the Heat. Only a corpse could be still.

[@peggybrown9694]

This is a beautiful blend of the most violent genre's of music combined into a single, unique style. It's the child produced by a mixture of DNA from Johnny Cash, Johnny Rotten, Dick Dale, Motorhead, Metallica and Elvis.

[@hinduismwithpremananddasbhagat]

Saw the guys in 2023. Seen a lot of famous and great performers. But, this was one of the few shows where I was inspired to play more. I wasn't just entertained .... also the music store made money off of my purchases of a new strings, an amp and pedal for my bass LOL

[@robertswickard3700]

I always enjoyed the rev's music. My friend's didn't. But when I saw a table add for the reverend Horton heat, in central perk, in an episode of friends. I didn't care what my friends thought, they were missing out!

[@corycrockett1254]

Long story short he's a legend, the man's style is impeccable, a true original, he worked his you know what off. I love this music because I lived it!

Happy 61st Birthday November 2, 1959 Jim "Reverend Horton" Heath. Texas born, Texas raised and one kick ass performer ! Cheers Rev.

[@brunobianchi1999]

This is sublime. I am picking up my guitar for the first time in 20 years 😊

[@constantinavram213]

1:36 ❤❤😂❤

[@andrewpardue3324]

🫡 I’m happy to hear that! 🤟🏻🎸playing the guitar is one of the greatest feelings ever and it’s still really fun for me everyday for a couple hours even after 38 years. I’ve been playing lots of Buckethead’s more mellow solo “ Pikes” material lately 😄( most of its all on KZbin 👍🏻 NatterNet channel ) I love that guys playing as well, he is amazing and can play Anything imaginable! he’s absolutely incredible! ) I look forward to playing the guitar more than anything else in my life. I consider it the greatest thing I ever did for myself to learn playing guitar and it’s just for my own amusement. I’m still learning something new almost everyday and it will never stop but it’s as easy or hard as I feel like making it at any given moment. To me it’s the best hobby ever and it’s also great to get into a fun, interesting and different headspace than the daily grind. No matter what kind of music you like playing personally VS. what you just listen to as well , I find it really helps with relaxing ( even if what you play is intricate, heavy or isn’t very mellow or relaxing at all ! 😄) from this stressful world we live in nowdays. I absolutely love watching/ hearing Jim rip on a guitar, he’s so Awesome, such an amazing and unique guitarist and songwriter. The Rev’s music definitely has that thing that makes you think “ I really need to play a guitar right this instant , look at how much fun he’s having up there.” What a fantastic live show ! 😮 his playing makes me smile and I’m damn near speechless watching him go off. The guy plays like a Texas bluesman / country / metal / rock’n roll / rockabilly / lounge singer madman, it’s absolutely incredible to witness! 😄 ) , and it makes you feel like “I want to feel a bit of that crazy fun vibe in my life too“ effect on a person… Especially if you’re a guitarist of Any type of playing style🤣. Kinda like … Hmm maybe I can get that little part of it right away while i work on a few sections of it , will I ever get it all? Probably not … Jim is leagues ahead of my skill level, But if I can have some fun with it and even play a bit of it while I figure 🤔🎸 out some of the other parts that’s a win for me ! 😄 and I really do want to learn some of his songs /solos etc. just to get a bit of that rockabilly style mixed into my own playing. Why would anyone who plays 🤷‍♂️ Not want some of that in their bag of tricks? 😄 The Rev’s music in particular looks like a blast to play once you get even just some small parts of it nailed down. 👍🏻Welcome back to guitarland 🎸brother ! 😊 Hope it’s going well and even more that you’re having a lot of fun with it!

[@brunobianchi1999]

Thank you for the kind encouragement brother ❤

Easily one of the coolest live bands to see. Always gets everyone moving!

Indeed..

[@elzorro9987]

It was easier to hear Jimbo's bass on this recording that just about any I have ever found on KZbin. I really enjoyed it.

[@craigcampbell1843]

I dunno There are whole regions down at the low end of the bass neck where the notes are inaudible a lot of the time

[@48dj3ikd]

First concert I ever went to. 1998 Van's Warped Tour back when it was cool. I was 16 and remember seeing Reverend Horton Heat. I was amazed. I'm just now starting to get into it and this is awesome!!!!!

Probably 40 years ago David Letterman introduced my young mind to guys like this. Always grateful for that.

The Reverend Horton Heat is simply genius of psychobilly (freakout !) ! One of the best bands I've seen in the Nineties in Paris, France ! It was for the LP "Spend a Night in the Box" ! It was aweful ! Really craze ! Love'em, really love'em !

[@leafkiller551]

Seen 7 times and in 25 plus years still the best.

[@giantfatberg]

I’ve heard about Reverend Horton Heat since I started college about 25 years ago and I never bothered to check them out. For whatever reason, it popped in my head at 5:00 am this morning and here I am. If I had known then what I know know I would’ve gone 7 times as well. All the best to you

[@FROSTY2469SeriesX]

Saw them in Oakland, about 20 years ago; Man what a show! Jimbo standing on his stand up bass while playing it! I still have the mechanic shirt bought from the show! And I wear it with pride!

Loaded gun is such a wonderful and gritty tune. It is beautiful and sad and I love every single note of it.

[@lovelessgaze7325]

I love RHH's transitions into songs. Victory Lap into The Smell of Gasoline is so perfect.

[@emilyfoster4272]

One of my few regrets in life regarding music: I saw them live at the House of Blues in Orlando ~15 years ago. I was standing in the very front row, and Jimbo gestured like he wanted to pull me up on stage with them during their last encore, but I had to leave because I was working super early the next day (like 5 AM) it was already about midnight (because they'll sometimes play until they're kicked out), and I had an hour drive home. Why oh why didn't I let him get me up there?!? Or at least give him a kiss on the cheek! I don't care that I was 22 and he was probably in his mid-to-late 40's; oh my God, that man has made me melt since the first time I saw him walk out on stage! I was an *IDIOT* for passing up that opportunity!!!!

[@lambert13]

He is a handsome devil

[@emilyfoster4272]

@@lambert13 He actually reminds me a lot of the guy I was dating when I saw them live for the first time. I even had to do a small double take to make sure my boyfriend was still sitting next to me when Jimbo first walked out onto the stage. I had seen him in pictures before, but somehow I didn't notice the resemblance until I saw him in person.
