King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard on trash metal, setlists and the end of the world

[@Ty91681]

These guys really seem like genuinely awesome people. Just a bunch of regular dudes that happen to be phenomenal musicians. How lucky are we to get to share this timeline with such a transcendent talent. These guys will be absolute legends by the time they stop making music.

[@kristofloppnow7519]

no they cancelled a show i had tickets for, complete fish-heads

[@brandonboucher7090]

“Thrash” Metal, not trash metal…lol

[@Acheron_Nemesis]

@@kristofloppnow7519 that's a shame

[@Snowddova]

My favourite part of this is that despite all the anti fishing for fishies talk in this interview, they ended up playing 'this thing' in their set later that night

[@brocli_supreme]

of course there is a community around King Gizzard and it's the best community!!!

[@connormcdonald5075]

most parasocial***

[@brodieorr5393]

​@@connormcdonald5075I honestly don't think so. I mean, of course there are some who do have a parasocial relationship, but the community is less about the band than the art created and inspired by it But this is just my experience from the people I've met at shows and online

[@mot00rzysta]

Wooo!

[@BrySquatch]

Love that Stu said thrash metal felt like his core. I’m slowly getting to know their discography and I dig it, but man, I’m obsessed with Petro Dragonic. I would love a few more thrashy concept albums in that vein!

[@FatalVoltage1]

“Any time you root a story in reality, it’s instantly boring” this made lol, Ambrose’s reaction made it that much better 😂

[@jefferyansani1923]

It's funny cuz it's true. Seriously though, think, country, blues, reggae, Jimmy Buffet (RIP).

[@cole4408]

He nailed it. Didn’t like when they got political and all real world in the KG and LW era, it really was boring

[@PsycheTrance65]

low key the reason i got into gizz was exactly because they sang about fictional stuff instead of the usual real-world type of stuff most of the time

[@Afrosser]

Laught About Life 😅

[@kyles5513]

Best band ever.

[@HollisLopez26]

This was fun. Good interview and love how close we got to the boys. We’ll excuse the “trash” metal, you still nailed the interview.

[@803F]

The 'th' sound doesn't exist in the Dutch language, so it's difficult to pronounce and often ends up sounding like a T or an S.

I was giggling

[@WiloPolis03]

These dudes seem super chill, love how they don't take themselves too seriously

[@keithwright2060]

Take a dive into King Gizz's subreddit and you'll see how freaky and dedicated the community is lol.

[@imariot6112]

the subreddit really shows you how annoying their fans are

"Strapped for decent ones in our country" no truer words about the Australian music festival scene have ever been said. Fuck yeah Ambrose. BRING ON THE GIZZ-FEST!!

[@nooooooooooo6uoki67]

whew thank god his sex life is doing OK I was worried

[@turbotreehouse9780]

I loved them for a long time but something magical happened during this interview where they became my favorite band. Stu's justification for the bootlegs is nothing short of inspirational. Thanks Gizz, even Eric 😂

[@emshaw27]

The dons of breaking the 4th wall in interviews. I love these playful pups 🐶

[@EarlSmithie]

Joey: "Yeah, it does feel good to play heavy music while we're on stage, I think." Interviewer: "I can imagine the audience is longing for Fishies For Fishies." Joey: "Hey, uh, look, you might be right, but it ain't happening tonight."

[@GameLlamaProductions]

love hearing about the community and their reception to how much of a positive impact they have on fans.

[@jefferyansani1923]

First of all, Thank You, Band, for all the touring you do. I know it's not easy. Even more grateful to be able to watch the shows for free. I've been going to live music events for 50 years and It's absolutely astounding to me that I can go out after the concert, party a little, grab something to eat, and then watch the show that is still ringing in my ears from a few hours ago. Very, very cool. So, I saw KGLW in Chicago 3 times last year. The 2 shows in June, as a composite, is the best concert I've attended. That includes many Dead shows, Crazy Horse, PJ, RATM, and many other rock shows. Thanks for the interview.

[@caroo9807]

I feel like theyre wooed out of their minds here but i love that

[@loversspit]

they bounce off each other so nicely on every level!! love love them

[@asdfasdfq6005]

While I do like their heavy stuff, their psychedelic/jazzy/groovy stuff is really where they shine in my opinion. Everyone hopes for their favourites of course, but I still had a damn great time moshing the whole set.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I thought Ice Death was such a great album how it mixed like heavy metal, jazz and psychedelic rock was just so well done

[@jez443]

Yea there’s a bit more rhythmic and melodic elegance in their psychedelic rock/jazz/ soul songs. I don’t listen to their metal stuff. I welcome it at a live show but a whole set of that stuff would not be my favorite.

[@jpak8]

Every interview I see, I love them more

[@svens8674]

What a great interview! Great questions and super easy going interview style.

[@bisket2003]

Charlotte de Witte and Partyboy69 shoutouts!! Gotta love Joey.

[@Peacefrogg]

Doing what you like and what feels good in the moment and lettting the audience feed of your energy? For me as an audience member that’s way more interesting, fun and connective than trying to predict what ppl want and give them what you think they expect. I want to be sucked into your world, plz don’t go thinking about what the audience would like!

[@chrisschuett4052]

I certainly appreciate this sentiment and I think most folks that have been to enough performances would agree. It's a give and take between the two parties! Those are the best types of shows.

[@gogopowerrangers-gogo]

As long as Dragon is played I'm happy

Thrash metal is and should be fun. I grew up on that shit and I'm stoked that kids these days dig it. King Giz and the Liz Wiz are an awesome band and I about shit when they released Infest the rats nest. Now they have two thrash records plus daaaaaaaaaays of other music and are not going to be forgotten anytime soon and I love it.

[@mcampbell5158]

KG & TLW are awesome, my new favorite band! I love how eclectic they are and will try anything. My only complaint is the full metal albums. If they like it, whatever is inspiring them. I personally am not a big fan. I thought is was cool on Omniom Gatherum that they put Gaia and Predator X mixed in the Presumptuous and Grim Reaper. I hope their next album is more like O G. Still the best band around these days!!

[@maxes3792]
