Swan's Michael Gira glares at me and shakes his head.

While filming a song during Swans performance in Iowa City, Iowa, intense frontman Michael Gira spotted me filming and expressed his disapproval through a glare and a shake of the head. Needless to say, I shut my camera off quickly as to not piss off the beast.

[@wethole]

That was hardly a glare or a shake

[@kiproy2547]

HE SEES IT ALL

[@tombones]

stop looking at me Swan

[@Thebaronpig]

yep, I have had the pleasure of seeing Swans as well, and Michael gets into an almost unearthly like trance when he plays and conducts his music, he was def caught up in the music.

[@damonberry9123]

@signoguns He takes his art seriously, which any good artist should

[@user-wx2ek3uv1i]

This man truly is Robert Fripp's spiritual successor.

[@unkraut7774]

I'd love to see a Fripp x Gira project

[@MeMeMcsplosion]

@@unkraut7774 I'd imagine it'd sound like something from "Number One of Three" but with a guitar solo over it

[@Lellos_]

@@MeMeMcsplosion I'd be down for it

[@ozeneuplm_]

@@unkraut7774 me too

[@Sighbot]

Definitely a stare, not sure about the shake. I still would’ve pissed my pants if I were you.

[@Based_Stuhlinger]

You are now cursed for life.

[@NEWSUPERCHARGER2001]

Boy I was like, "Aww, you fucked up now.."

[@MeMeMcsplosion]

probably felt more like a shake as it happened than when it's played back but he definitely made disapproving eye contact

[@richardroberson2564]

Run

[@thc_freebaser]

he was not looking at you you are not the main character

[@c00lers10]

someones blind

[@AudioDrainRecordings]

I can't think of too many musical artists who I have enjoyed so consistently for so many years! Thanks Michael!

[@solargamingohhhyeah]

woah calm down big guy

[@xxlucia07xx]

shut up bruh

[@solargamingohhhyeah]

@@xxlucia07xx Okay buddy, you listen here and you listen good. Me and Gira (Yes, I call him that) go wayyy back. When were you born, 2007? Heh, try 1977... Me and Gira over here go way back, spent our summers down in Germany making sweet tunes to the locals. What would you know about that? Your liberal ass probably hasn't left the house in three months! Try getting a job, hippie - Maybe then you'll know what it's like, bucko.

[@TheTimeOfThePlace]

It’s because you wasted your time with this video

[@DiabloSyndrome]

Not really a stare. Even when you tried to slow it down to make it seem like you locked eye. Bogus

[@julianholland4009]

Song?

[@IceSpoon]

Post-Rock Raven anyone?

[@AnklepantsSkateZine]

I was standing next to you during that show. I had my camera out the whole time as well. I will be uploading footage on my other channel. There may be another angle of this video! I actually didn't see the free ear plugs and stood up front with no hearing protection through the whole thing. Best worst pain. I also got that pick thing being used at 0:01.

[@d_walsh]

Lol

[@zachary8845]

Click bait! Wish he would have jumped into the audience and knocked you up in the head!!!

[@karolchmielewski9401]

woah calm down big guy
