Cavs the type of drunk that just tells all his friends how much he loves them ❤

Typical drummer tbh 😂😂

Stu always talking about getting a real job in every interview 😂 Big fear of his

[@BingusLover93]

even without gizzard now he could easily make a living in the music industry

[@idiosyncraticmushroom3030]

Good on the interviewer for giving Cookie a mic, great interview! Thanks for uploading!

[@nonserviam7200]

stu is holding on for dear life during this interview, it’s amazing.

[@highimpactsexualviolence5512]

I have to watch every King Gizzard interview twice because I always find a comment like this and focus on whoever looks the most fucked up

[@owmyhands]

0:39 Based purely the 229 songs released on the 24 studio albums (and ignoring bonus tracks, b sides etc), there are 33,732,988,281,246,632,984,224,120,288,024 possible song permutations. So it would depend on how many songs in a set list.

[@chriswhrtn]

cook and lucas had great input this interview

[@gideonpepys]

I think if they were a band where all six of them wanted to talk they would have split up a long time ago.

[@Blastkin]

i love these guys because they make just quality music, distribute it very often and they are just quality human beings. love you guys ❤

I love it when they do an interview and stu is clearly tripping. "Youre just getting in there and youre thinking about something and you know you uh are thinking about the song and theres just music" Stu Mckenzie in an interview in 2015

[@satanbakesale]

He doesn’t doesn’t do drugs to play live. Stop spreading lies lol. I think only Amby does that

[@Jegbmf]

@@satanbakesale I didn’t say he did drugs to play live I said he does it for interviews and he’s clearly high bro

Drugs, baby, drugs and awkwardness

[@thisbubblygoodness7611]

you can see his brain is just itching to say something on the same level as 'even in space they have spaceships'

He's steamed

[@DGTheMii]

I actually first heard king gizz on rage. It was 10:00 pm in a hotel in newcastle and i was readying myself for bed. Rage was on the tv so i started watching it. I was really enjoying the music, so i couldnt convince myself to turn it off. Eventually, people vultures came on. It was awesome. I did that thing with google assistant where it can tell you the name of the song and band. Not too long after mic the snare did his king gizzard deep discog dive wich made my getting into the band way easier (although because I was using prime music i couldn't access most of their discography)

[@josiek5989]

Combinations: 1.4 x 10 to the power of 23 for 200 songs, 15 songs (actually about 20, but I grouped some together). So there are literally unbelievable amount of combinations, trillions of trillions. I did the math some time ago!

[@wordytoed9887]

I love that Ambrose's first example city to think about on tour was Detroit

Man, I just love these guys.

Just watch Stu's face the whole video... lmao

[@mot00rzysta]

This interview, among many, shows that - apart from the amazing amount of music they've created so far - the chemistry in the band is incredible which alone makes them one of the most interesting bands/groups of musician I've encountered in my musical life. Also I'm so glad that whenever I say "ok rock music is done" - something truly new and exciting appears. \m/ Coming from a 47yo electronic music enthusiast turned rock music fan again, travelling from NL to BE to see Gizz last year at Pukkelpop, then spending half my 2 weeks off-work this year travelling to Prague, Hamburg and back to Amsterdam to see each unique and amazing show by KGLW.

[@adriansullivan4433]

lol why did Stu say when he has to get a real job one day? I hope he knows that’s never happening because we would never let it

[@travisthornton1792]

Awesome. Thanks for posting

The Eras tour was the exact same show every night, with the exception of 2 songs per night

Fuck yea

[@Jakeman90210]

is rage like Aussie MTV?

[@DGTheMii]

Kind of. Rage is a program on the ABC rather than a standalone station. It airs quite often though, especially during the evenings when most networks play big bang theory reruns on repeat.

[@mattb8372]

It's a TV program that plays music video clips on the ABC

[@Pod6er]

Amby just mentioning Detroit (where I’m from) made me scream like one of those girls seeing The Beatles back in the day

I'll see them in 2,5 weeks in Munich and I've got no idea what I can expect 😂 Could be metal, could be psychedelic I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT

[@BTBAM819]

Stu, don't worry about getting a "real" job. Your fanbase love you guys enough so you can live off this hopefully for a lot of years more. You just stick to releasing awesome music and giving tremendous shows. And yours is a "real" job, though. You are really hardworking and make people happy in the way and that's not to say of all "normal" jobs so don't undermine it.

[@DrMario_666]

“We love Tay Tay, she’s boss” Smart move Stu…

[@SylentEcho]

Silly questions. There's literally SO much to ask them about their music, but she asks about scary music videos, lol.

[@lasknives6817]

this show was fucking incredible

[@mcmillan.2k]

Gizz loves Tay Tay!

[@T4487a]

damn if only stu knew Taylor would be a zionist 🥰

Grateful Dead and Phish never play the same set either.

[@netdaddy]

🎸 King Gizzard wraps up a triumphant US tour and enjoys playing in their home country. 📊 The band uses an Excel spreadsheet to create unique live show arrangements. 🎉 The goal of their “Congratulation” album is to create a fun atmosphere and continue making music together. 👁 The band’s visual aesthetics involve metal iconography and subverting seriousness. ⭐ The members share their favorite music videos, including Missy Elliott, Bomb Funk MCs, and Fatboy Slim.
