Slacktone "Miserlou" Huntington Beach, CA 9-15-2013

[@josephfalco3141]

this random clip of a sunny day and a surf band playing Miserlou is better than 99.9% of everything else ever made in the history of human evolution.

[@tikibongo99]

Thanks Joseph for watching.

[@chambergoosepaste9164]

Freaking great 🤘

[@Ironlakgrafff]

One of, if not the best Versions i've ever heard. Pay attention

[@jpboileau5473]

So true!

[@bonsummers2657]

Check out Messer Chups playing Miserlou,… they're the deal.

[@ZinoNassib]

one of the best version ive ever listened to, well done

[@ndjdjdjdjdjnxnxn4747]

Tight is right. Awesome performance

[@LiverpoolGarden]

Hi Dave, Thanks for recording this fantastic performance by the great Slacktone! Hope you are doing well.

[@tikibongo99]

Thank you, glad you like the video. If I remember correctly, I originally didn't post Miserlou because I prefer original songs, but Dave Wronski wanted to see Miserlou.

[@terrencebarnes9729]

Absolutely f****** phenomenal

[@johnmitchelljr]

Slack tone was one of the best and still are. Thanks for sharing.

[@JamesUjai]

They sound as if there were five of them. Very amazing performance.

[@terrencebarnes9729]

Such a beautiful piece of music and these guys own it

[@Hercules658]

the fact this is better than the way dick dale plays it, genuinely scares me

[@OlivierGabin]

All this with only one guitar ? This guy is beyond amazing !

[@stergos60]

All the band is excellent but the drummer is fantastic!!!!

[@matsapo1]

Absolutely AMAZING!

this is a fun version, nice

[@Scott_From_Maine]

After seeing Dick Dale the first time around 2003, it took a while before I realized that Dusty was also on Lita Ford's first album about 20 years earlier.

[@tikibongo99]

Dusty & Sam were also in Agent Orange for a time.

[@RFToob]

Wow So cool! All three kick ass, cheers!

[@darrylpaul4178]

That was fantastic

[@eltrav7151]

Dave just owns each song, he just puts his heart and soul into each tune, love it!

[@terrencebarnes9729]

Love how the rhythm section is so on time.

[@motorrebell]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE !! WOW !! this is EXTASE !! ROCK OUT - PROST FROM GRRMANY !!

[@saldifrancesca2500]

Beautiful work, sounds outstanding. All 3 musicians rock this......then Rumble!!!! I'm getting chills daddy.....hahaha

[@roscoe268]

This folks, is superb, old school, surf music on display. They just walk out of Miserlou right into a final flurry of Rumble...unheard of, yet they do it so seamless & natural. Dick Dale & Link Wray in one song by truly talented players who love the music, Wow!

[@stefandehair2723]

what a great sound ..! Fabulous ..!

First Surf Album I purchased and first Internet Purchase I ever made from this band, Into the Blue Sparkle.

I had to rewatch all these awesome Slacktone vids after seeing them play live yesterday at the pier. Dave F, thank you so much for your diligence with these, your uploads are greatly appreciated. The audio, visual, and overall content of your videos is superb.

[@tikibongo99]

Thank you :) Maybe I will have a couple Slacktone videos from Sunday, per band approval.

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

Thanks Dave F! When I watched this I literally cried. I live in Nebraska now because I must. But as a California native I used to frequent Huntington Beach. The pier. The beach. The drum circle...Main Street...PCH...etc. Your performance reminded me of when I played with my friends in SoCal with my bands. And sometimes we'd even play Surf music too. Bless all of you! I so hope this lineup as of 2024 is still ariund and Rockin'! Carry on gents!

I am not familiar with this group but watching a middle aged man absolutely fucking shred the guitar and make those faces, and then begin to just howl towards the end is incredible.

Age means nothing, someday hopefully you'll realize that Look up Les Paul. And all those rockers from 1950s, 1960s, 1970, 1980s, are as old as this guy.

[@Robert-qn4ox]

I’m dying to know how that intro riff was made. What’s the note hopping technique called?

[@manuellayburr382]

Just alternating between open E string and the tune. Try listening at half speed.

[@Robert-qn4ox]

@@manuellayburr382 Thanks, I’ve actually tried this myself since making the comment, copied the notes and got pretty far in imitating the intro riff style. Even after this I’m still left wondering what type of strumming pattern that is, it’s got sort of a middle eastern feel I can’t put my finger on. I would honestly be surprised if slacktone of all bands was really the first one to play surf like that because then to me it’s revolutionary and underrated. If you or anyone can point to other bands/music genres with that kind tremolo picking that would be awesome because with slacktone, sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint their influence.

[@manuellayburr382]

@@Robert-qn4ox The earliest surf version was I believe by Dick Dale in 1963 (plays guitar left-handed with thinnest strings upwards!) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3fFZpSmfcudq8k - Before that you have to go back to the original ballad - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGTXe5KOrqeqr6c

[@manuellayburr382]

@@Robert-qn4ox Dick Dale's trademark was this style of playing as you will find if you search for him on KZbin.

[@josephfalco3141]

Surf music is an amazing story. Read up on it. Dick Dale bought guitars and amps directly From Leo Fender. When he kep blowing up his little Princeton amps Leo and Freddy Tavares went to see Dick Dale in concert. That was the exact moment of inspiration for bigger, louder amps; The Showman, Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb. The start of guitar shredders and loud amps began in SoCal with Dick Dale and Surf Music.

[@huffyboy01]

That looks like Dick Dales old bass player?

[@tikibongo99]

Sam Bolle plays bass with Slacktone. Sam played with Dick Dale for many a year.

[@fuzzyloomchannel]

Is that a JBL D120-F?

[@tikibongo99]

No clue. Dave W always uses his 2 amps. He has his own channel. You can ask him directly.

[@fuzzyloomchannel]
