King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - What's In My Bag?

[@eyeballdad8712]

This video makes a lot more sense once you learn that Stu never had a record player until the pandemic lol

[@jollygrapefruit786]

It's pretty cool that he brought those books though

[@clairebrown4084]

Everybody is buying all of these super obscure records and Stu is just over here like “I got a cool shirt and some scary books."

[@jacquelinedelmar4494]

Ay, at least he’s not a scummy colorblind kid in mun

[@JungleWeedzz]

Sp00ky books

[@mrflibble1259]

He did talk about fragile tho which is an amazing album

[@eggd0g]

a fragile shirt from yes is pretty rare

[@brick396ss]

That I haven’t read lol

[@cade7598]

they went to a shop that specializes in music and Stu decided to get books

[@cooperwilliams5006]

King gizzard needs to make a king gizzardy style metal album

[@BB94TM]

Pls make a wish for a second metal record

[@JuanCarlos-ch8ix]

WELL THEN

[@randomassguy]

You absolute madman

[@johanescobar6951]

It's funny to see that they have quite different tastes and that each of their influences (metal, african music, flute, 60's british rock, jazz...) kinda mix up and result in their music. I feel like every member is really involved in the creation of every song and bring his own touch.

[@TheRattlehead13]

[@SHEPxPARD]

yeah, pretty much as it is with most of bands :)

I feel like a lot of bands crutch on one or two members for songwriting/drive in the band and it's something special when thats not true.

[@bradc2346]

Love this for many reasons, but one is that Cavs (the drummer) is talking about mastering the double kick. Fast forward 2 years and they just released a thrash metal album where he absolutely nails it! So excited to see them live TODAY in Asheville, NC!!

[@Turtl289]

Just bought this rrcord todsy. He killed it.

[@GhostFoxGoddess]

[@ritoion5120]

Aye, I was at that show!

[@timothybailey2094]

Came here to write this EXACT comment, almost verbatim. Fast forward two years and we have the best thrash metal album certainly of 2019, featuring some kiiiiiiiller double bass. Amazing.

[@eostwix]

fast forward 5 years and hes doing shit like Flamethrower wtf

[@KaoruKat]

I love that Stu didn't even get any records lol, he's so funny

[@TheBrowniemusic]

KaoruKat it had to be set who the unique one was. That’s the way he sells himself to the audience, I believe.

[@yeastofthoughtsmind9623]

And he fucks with Fragile! Great prog rock album.

[@meriemtrophel1799]

@@TheBrowniemusic its the truth and i dislike to believe it

[@podtherod9304]

Brown Emm I don’t think that’s how he sells himself I think that’s just how he is. You can find super old interviews and clips him before he got any fame and he acts exactly the same.

[@nahmate-]

@@podtherod9304 what you said 👍👍

[@purpleraindrip1674]

Honestly Stu showing off the books was probably the most interesting part cause I feel like you can clearly see his influences in his song writing through those book choices and it’s awesome to see when artists pull from different medias for inspiration

[@diogeneslantern18]

Looking at the breadth of their songs' subject matter and the depth of the lyrics it's clear that Stu is really well read. KG is such a fun "intellectual" band that doesn't take themselves too seriously and it's so refreshing

[@chadrandazzo2305]

Stu likes progressive metal, Yes and into HP Lovecraft and horror fiction. I would turn for him.

[@RikardKloth]

6:40 Its awsome seeing Cavs talking about aspiering to master the doubble kick drum and now beeing able to deliver some absolute amazing double kick drum solos.

[@grabgrabgrabthegrab]

You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like KGLW!

thought the same now after having petrodragonic apocalypse

[@caammm88]

So Stu's appreciation of HP Lovecraft makes me think MOTU was mostly his brainchild

[@SpookyApparition]

a lot of King Gizz is mostly Stu's brainchild.

[@evanrachwalski6721]

Fave Gizz album tbh

[@elijah1110]

Ummmm.... obviously

[@iamdamosuzuki_]

The last part of the album also has a bit of an Isaac Asimov vibe too.

[@MiguelCyc]

Yeah that an Phillip K. Dick.

[@Consural]

Everyone else: "I got some obscure 60s music." Stu: "Book about Satan. Seems like fun."

[@kikeheebchinkjigaboo6631]

Consural silly atheisr

[@gwen6622]

and that really sums up the sound of the band too lol. all of these influences, including the scifi, lovecraft, and satanic stories, contribute haha

[@scotchrobbins]

6:39 Good news, he figured out how to work a double-kick drum everyone!

[@undergroundman6602]

Well Cavs came through with the double kick in the end.

[@ZalMoxis]

This is a good message for young bands...... keep an open mind , listen to everything and read .... it is all inter related and relevant.... Stu's girlfriend has the best taste.....

[@VioletIsOnTheNets]

Love hearing cavs talk about having trouble getting the double-kick groove down, then fast-forward to now with him absolutely fucking _tearing_ away on PDA
