Graham Coxon At TPS! [All New Pedalboard, The Waeve & Blur Reunion Chat]

[@JtotheP68]

Possibly the most talented, inventive and thoughtful guitarist of his generation. Thank you for having him on again.

[@blackstars14]

Jonny Greenwood entered the conversation. Love them both!

[@gregantonowicz2818]

Ive always liked his playing too. It's great to see that he is one of us, he gets it. Thanks Dan and Mick! And keep making awesome music Graham!

[@timboyd2313]

Noel Gallagher would agree.

[@robmaddison8645]

@@blackstars14 I much prefer Radiohead (as my favourite band since forever) although over the last few years I've revisited Blur and actually appreciate their stuff. Coxon seems to be the naturally more talented guitarist. That isn't to say that Mr Greenwood isn't a raw talent, more that he excels in inventiveness and sound creation. His recent delay technique is brilliant for example.

[@CradleRawk]

Great show again guys! Let’s get Bernard Butler and (perhaps less likely) John Squire on the show, to complete the Britpop bingo, pleeeeeeeeeaaaaase!!!

[@LPManic]

And James Dean Bradfield

[@Steaminlidz]

Nick McCabe… it’ll never happen, but it would be something.

[@garygallagher7341]

I'd die if Squire ever came on. His sounds with the Roses were guitar perfection IMHO and the reason I've spent a fortune on vintage JBLs.

[@mylesbell8281]

Yes we absolutely need John squire. He's literally my guitar hero

[@Steaminlidz]

@@garygallagher7341 Do you get a mate to stand behind your amps, dance weirdly and drive the settings on an Alexis Midiverb?

[@stefankarlssonice]

Graham needs to be on the show at least once a year! Consistently the most entertaining guest!

[@bleeknoir]

Graham is sounding excellent as ever. Such a welcome breath of fresh air.

[@roransu]

Just for curious onlookers, song list throughout the video: 😊 0:03 - Can I Call You (Intro) 20:58 - Undine 21:10 - Someone Up There 39:42 - Can I Call You (Solo) 41:23 - Song for Eliza May (Solo) 45:06 - Someone Up There 48:13 - Undine 49:39 - Over and Over 55:04 - Undine 55:51 - Drowning 1:00:58 - I Belong To

[@BenEdwardsMusic]

You missed Roll With It at 20:58 😄

[@song-mode]

Graham's first appearance is definitely up there in my list of top tps episodes, such a treat to have him back, just a gem of a man.

[@MrNeilltupman]

Great to see so much love for Graham, he is a proper legend and a real inspiration. Back in the 90's it was him, Jeff Buckley, and Gaz Coombes, which inspired me to buy my first proper Tele from Andertons. Such a great player, thanks for having him on ❤

Talking about Oasis whilst watching this is like talking about Pot noodle watching Masterchef.

[@seanpatrickwatkins640]

What a Wonderful episode. There's nothing like the re-meeting of the rawness and spit and joy that makes us human. We all need to know one or two people like Graham. Thank you guys!

[@5hane_]

I was never really a Blur fan but this is easily one of my favourite interviews in quite some time on the channel.Great questions & Graham was really happy to answer anything & everything. Top job boyos!

[@davidtomkins4242]

agree, he comes across as disarmingly candid and honest for a guy who has sold millions of records

[@tomcarter6303]

Saw Blur live for the first time last year which made me realise how good a player he actual is

[@SlackrUk]

Graham's been my favourite guitarist since I first heard Blur... oh far too many years ago now lol. Lovely bloke too :) He's in his element here and it's always a joy to watch.

[@hoisin75]

You guys have such a relaxed, free flowing conversational style. Such an easy watch and you get so much from the players

[@bassmandudge]

I actually think Graham might be one of my favourite humans of all time.... Thank you for the 2 interviews, they have opened my eyes to what a talent and absolute dude he is...

[@benjaminkoskinen5835]

What an amazing character Graham is. These type of people are very few and far in between. Absolutly understand how he fit into Blur and their music reflects that. Glorious interview and I learned a lot!

[@mdf1671]

Truly one of the all time greats of electric guitar.

[@pumpvolumes]

love it flew down to london to see graham at the garage london in i think 2002 ish i was still in school great memories

[@jamespalavin5052]

TPS is the best. I'm an old boomer and I get introduced, in a unique wonderful way, to artists I missed along the way of life.

[@variok]

Please go and listen to the entire Parklife album by Blur. Graham's playing through the album defined Brit Pop for me

[@blackstars14]

Love Parklife but 13 has my favourite Graham playing

[@sheercerebralpower]

I was living in London and working as a guitarist. One day the band I was in had a gig at Worlds End Camden, sometime 1989,1990…we were to share the bill with an unknown band called Blur. We played first, played well, were well received. It was a singer from LA signed to Warners, yada yada, we played and then came Blur….it was powerful,mesmerizing and full of amazing music. They well deserve all that they achieved. Graham had a Tele and a Vox if my memory serves me well and sounded really good.

[@SnookerPlaces]

Superb guest. Superb interview. Superb show! And I love how this looks with the guitars, pedals and amps in the background. Just makes you want to be there in the room!

[@andrii.konkov]

Hurray, my all time favourite guest!

[@alejandrohualdez5550]

Jonny Greenwood would be a great guest. Another hugely underrated guitarist.

[@Superdelphinus]

Is he really underrated lol? I mean both Jonny and GC are widely regarded as two of the best guitarists of the last 30 years or so…

[@BigBoaby-sg1yo]

What ! Jonny greenwood 😂😂😂😂

[@cameronlesley2428]

A great interview. You’ve got the feel blues guy asking tech questions And the the tech guy asking feel questions about visual arts and how music and art are intertwined . Mick and Dan are at the top of their game and tps is a leader , you chart your own path and we love it . Thanks TPS

[@simondixon6761]

What a lovely bloke! Always loved his playing.

[@dustystarr2297]

Absolutely my favorite guitar player ever!

[@truthfactreality6814]

Love Graham and his unique style

[@ryangunwitch-black]

When is Robert Smith coming to TPS!?! And Brian Molko. ❤. Another great one, fellows.

[@zeandiaz1791]

I really need to know how Brian plays "Scared of Girls".

[@countchromosome]

I have been loving this musician for a long time. He never disappoints

[@Hairyfoot_Studio]

Great episode, I saw Blur at Wembley last year and The Waeve at Warwick Castle a couple of months ago supporting Noel Gallagher. Both completely different gigs but Graham was mesmerising each time. What a legend ❤

[@Helix-Man]

He is going helix lt and powercab 212 in warwick castle

[@joeriffanucci]

Graham is my spirit animal 🙂 love you guys

[@Cornan1980]

I refuse to believe it's been 6 years since Graham was on. In my mind that's a "new" TPS epsiode!

[@HamsteadSoundworksBrian]

Amazing work fellas, what an episode! Blown away hearing Graham through the Artist 60+RT as well. ♥

[@stevemorano9317]

Great stuff, really enjoyed this! Nice one Graham.

[@russbradley7914]

Wonderful stuff, brilliant to hear somebody so creative and imaginative in action, loved the piece at the end and the shy smile said it all, a guy with incredible natural talent and yet apparently without ego. Go Graham, absolutely loved it mate. Thanks TPS!

[@AndyDemos]

I love Graham’s approach to guitar and songwriting- that desire to explore and take risks. Thank you guys, what a treat! ❤

[@periloustemple8290]

TPS consistency: A+ shows that are interesting and with plenty of wit! I love Graham. Where I live in the states and being a bit older than Mick & Dan, I missed things like Blur and Pulp. I have to give my son credit for turning me on to the Guerillas - and TPS for Graham/Blur. Boy, did I miss out. Oh, and Pulp is the band I always needed in my life that I did not have. Saw them live last weekend with my son. He's a good lad! I would have never known to go. Life changing. I finished my pedalboard today during this episode and it rocks (GigRig power and a QMX-6).

[@astrid5135]

these videos always remind me he has so many iconic riffs he's truly a 90s legend

[@christopherlong8259]

This was brilliant, Graham’s playing is so musical, super fun guy to listen to as well. Great show

[@peterheyes240]

Another great episode, guys. Graham is a huge inspiration, and the sole reason why I own a Tele, even though I’ll never sound like him. But that’s why he’s such a huge inspiration 😊 Now, please please please please please flush out Kevin Shields and get him on the show. And ask him when the next MBV album is coming while you’re at it 😅

[@mmonks]

Such a brilliant show, I absolutely loved it. To get Graham once was amazing, to get him twice is...well, I feel very spoiled! Thanks again for all that you do Dan and Mick. And thanks Graham for all the brilliant music and guitar playing over the years.

[@kevinmacleod8479]

Such a fantastic interview. Well done in navigating the space between gear and music with this one. Nailed it!

[@Superdelphinus]

He’s the reason I first started learning the guitar in about 1993, and his work with Blur through that era was amazing - but he’s reached even higher levels with the waeve I reckon in terms of musicality and the complexity of each song.

[@nick28476]

Graham is continuing the lineage of unique British guitar heroes. So cool.

[@MrGuitarDad]

Thank you lads. That was a great watch. Happy weekend and enjoy the loud guitars in good health

[@danottley2627]

He’s a very cool chap. Enjoyed this very much. I think his comparison of his music to abstract impressionism is spot on. “This increases the jeopardy” 😂! Thank you leg-ends!

[@adamfstewart81]

Feeling inspired after hearing these sounds! Thanks for this! Gonna go make noise! Cheers!

[@jonpardoe]

Fairport Convention meets King Crimson is a vibe I can definitely get behind! Love it when there's someone who's a little bit more in my musical wheelhouse on the show, but who are still total guitar nerds just like the rest of us. Must be the time of year when I briefly learn how to play Coffee & TV properly, yet again, then forget as it's so damn weird! Brilliant show, love you guys, love Graham 😊

[@gafarbello107]

I never knew Graham was the spirit animal I’ve been missing in my life.

[@andreasfuglsang17]

One of the most interesting and unique guitarists/songwriters of our time! Thanks for putting him on the show.

[@paulmcnamara9777]

Saw Graham with The Waeve at the O2 supporting Elbow back in May...... really enjoyed their set. Thanks.

[@matiasmoulin2126]

Thanky you for this! Graham is one of the greatest living (and actively creating) musicians of our time! And the quality of his recent output is just unbelievable: Darren, End of the F***ing World and the last Waeve album I consider simply classics (and I am old fashioned and super picky).

[@chris-townson]

I'm glad the soundtracks were mentioned. TEOTFW 2 and Superstate were incredible pieces of work. Graham's work in recent years I'd describe as adding texture to a song. There's something new to hear with each listen.

[@davidennis1081]

That EQ pedal setting is equal parts genius and nuts...which is as good a description of his playing in general as any!

[@deathb4digital]

Always interesting conversation with Graham on. Loved it.

I somehow love the bit at 2:21 where he notices his dangling necklace, decides that's no good and pops it under his shirt to get that over and done with.
