The strumming in two headed Boy is so tiring and singing your heart out at the same time is pretty difficult.
@Rsurect3 жыл бұрын
After he bungled two-headed boy a little bit he seemed discouraged. Then someone recommended gardenhead and he gave the song the greatest rendition I have ever heard. Glad it brought his confidence back up :)

Adrian Brown Fucking brilliant. So earnest and unabashed. I love his variations on "leave behind" and "gardenhead" and my god how he just belts out "Name" !! I've seen them twice the past couple years, and he has Scott Spillane hit the trumpet hard on that part. But yeah this is incredible. Glad you like it as much as I do.

@masonclark5318 жыл бұрын
+Elijah Johnston This is a good musician to draw inspiration from. His music still sounds good and he draws chords and riffs from basic structures but makes them fun rhythmically. I mostly think he is awesome for his lyrics. Not only are they amazing but phonetically they sound good when sung. i.e. "your father made fetuses with flesh licking ladies". Just say it and you will know what I mean. Idk if you're still doing music but either way always practice and watch music wherever you go!

I have to say thank you for putting this video on here. And yes it was weird he just stopped like that, but oh well, he can do what ever he wants. :) I wish he would still do concerts, I would pay a lot to see him live like this. My brother had the luck to see him recently, he was at a 4 hour music festival, and Jeff came out and played engines in the crowd, and my brother has always wanted to see him play, so he got pretty luck that day.

because he was meant to sing "put on sunday shoes" instead of "with pulleys and weighs", and it messes the whole song, because then you either finish the song earlier than normal, or you repeat the verse in the second half, I think. Sorry, 6 years later, I shouldn't have even necroe'd it but, y'know, almost all of the comments are 6 years old by now so.
