King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - The Wheel (Live on KEXP)

[@ACoolStupidDog]

You could take a small piece of smooth limestone, cast it in the ocean for twelve centuries to slowly and gently erode by the embrace of the waves, and, somehow, the rock displayed in this video remains smoother.

This track is unreal

[@Somiten]

Ambrose's voice got to be one of the most original sounding voices that i've heard in a long time

[@nicholascowan1731]

It’s like if you mixed Kevin Parker with Janis Joplin xD

So different and so wonderful together

[@cartdog3]

@@nicholascowan1731 similar to the way Lennon and McCartney's voices complimented each other, in my opinion. Gizz the new Beatles confirmed?

This blows the album version out of the water, no joke.

Yeah especially when the guitars hit in the second half, holy fuck.

[@JakoTheWacko]

Blows it right out of the muddy water.

[@kmac1130]

All their KEXP versions blow the album versions out of the water

[@AlexWheely-bx7pk]

I dig it. but to me it sounds like voice was a little quiet on this recording. still phenomenal performance . nothing to Don with what i hear

[@DUFMAN123]

This is lowkey one of the best songs they've ever made. The build towards the end is truly mind blowing.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

One of the more socially direct songs about our generation I would say

Since when is this a compliment?

[@panam4redd]

Citrus He's just giving praise to how tight they are together, don't be an asshole.

[@jereuter01]

@@citrus7115 unusually exact, a tight steady two drummers in sync beat with perfect tempo and exact timing of lead into changes so precise that it sounds perfect, machine generated, not strictly possible for the human hands and intellect but for exceptional drummers who can work together and apart to create a synergy. ,

[@understories3210]

Literally their single best performance of any song.

isKull thanks man

[@GokuFan5000]

i remember my first time seeing them live. it was at the palladium in LA, it was before they did this video and so seeing cookie dressed like a bond villain without reference was pretty funny. i got swept into the mosh pit and by the end of the night was absolutely exhausted, they played some mellow stuff from polygond like i think castle in the air and then this and i can remember myself swaying softly along dancing. was an amazing night. i came home bruised and tired stinking of sweat, beer and pot. LONG LIVE KG

[@troybackhaus17]

Sounds like a Gizz show to me

[@TenLetterMFG]

This is incredible. So many layers. So much talent. The live mixing is perfect. King Gizz & Lizz Wiz, you guys kick ass! KEXP very well done! New fan for life right here!

[@prestontable]

i think the mixing on this song is better than the album version

[@Magere-Kwark]

Stu mixed the audio himself on all of these KEXP sessions.

[@Godlikegren]

If only the end of the song were like the album and it looped forever

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

Thisn is gumboot. It's their leftovers that didn't make it on other albums. Although, you can listen to it over and over again.

aasm7 This song in particular is wayy better live. The studio version is just dissapointing now that I’ve seen this.

[@carlorivera7274]

That's because more rehearsals I think... There is no doubt they will play a better version once coronavirus is gone A.K.A Superbug.

[@chronic_johnson_a.r.a.b]

A whole bunch of their albums have a questionable production sound. It works, imo, but sometimes takes some getting used to. That said, Gumboot Soup is one of their most crisp sounding albums.

[@regalseagull6810]

4:25 is amazing, it sounds awesome

[@BrodyEllis111]

Ok but can we talk about stu's guitar tone at 3:25?

[@sergioalejandrochavezmolot7905]

It's an amazing guitar tone. Stu plugs his pedals in reverse order, begins with delay (full feedback and quick repeats) and finish with wah pedal. Unique and signature sound,bro. Saludos desde México
