OLD DAD REACTS to KING GIZZARD & THE LIZARD WIZARD - THE LORD OF LIGHTNING VS BALROG (DAD JAMS SCORE

[@toasty869]

Not sure if you noticed but around 12:00 when Stu brings the flute out the melody is a callback to Trapdoor.

[@handen]

7:43 Notice this section is a callback to the refrain from Cellophane. During live shows they can use this as a bridge to go directly into that song. You will start to notice that they write a lot of material deliberately in this manner, which gives them branching points to go all over the place when performing.

this is the song that pulled me into listening to more King Gizzard, finally caught them live last month. incredible band, more I hear the more I dig them

[@socraticmethod8719]

"These guys must have an incredible..... .......incredible collection of cloaks...." My favorite quote of yours so far on this journey, It encapsulates this era of King Gizz perfectly! lol

[@agodlike_tazmaniandevil2305]

Stu - guitar, flute, keys, lead vocals Joey - guitar, keys, lead vocals Ambrose - keys, sax, added percussion, lead vocals Cookie - guitar, keys, lead vocals Lucas - bass, keys, backing vocals Cavs - drums, backing vocals Eric - (former) drums, theremin

[@ahlimahs]

Lucas plays guitar on Intrasport too

[@marcusfoley3347]

some say Ambrose occasionally plays harmonica..... also Stu or Joey or Cookie play bass on most of the albums.

[@mysterioushiggs]

That is the guy you keep liking at the end :) His name is Joey.

[@socraticmethod8719]

Joey's da fuckin' MAN! I can't wait for him to get to Ice V....

[@mysterioushiggs]

@socraticmethod8719 omg you're right 😆

[@boogyboogyboogy]

This one’s so fun! You can hear the suite begin with People Vultures, but if you sync it all up in a playlist, you can have Murder if the Universe and Nonagon Infinity transition seamlessly in and out of one another, making it so Nonagon is now a closed loop with a beginning and end, hence the references between albums!

6:40 if you want to see something insane i highly recommend watching the han-tyumi suite live in chicago 2024, definitely best version

[@shawnlilly5934]

You are going to be very very impressed by all of their music videos from here on out. The music is so tasteful and complex, the videos are so creative (maybe not crumbling castle but oh well) I’m just worried you’re going to miss Gumboot soup!

[@tillzillz]

they played this song (or part of it) on Conan O'Brien's show back in the day

[@JohnRoadsChannel]

This man is going nuts when he discover the Gissverse... ;3

[@rrelder13]

Yo, I hate to be complicated but if you feel like buying the vinyl for this album you get a booklet with all the lyrics and voice over written down in a bunch of artwork. It goes into han-tyumi and the murder of the of universe It goes into the Lord of lightning versus the Bellrog It's tied into robot stop and how nonagon Infinity opens the door

[@melanieshablowski6668]

you’ve so far listened to 2/3 of their album murder of the universe. sadly the first part of the album doesn’t have a music video like lord of lightning or han-tyumi does

[@handen]

@@melanieshablowski6668 Dude needs to listen to MOTU in its entirety between now and next week as a personal quest.

[@ericmilman5812]

It's also my personal favorite 1/3. The KEXP performance of that section is amazing.

[@barrondaly5803]

Damn I've never been this early! Good work dad :)
