[@MoiraRussell]

That is some gorgeous guitar.

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

the drum intro by Stella is soooo dope! love it (and her)

[@shineon4863]

Lucas This entire band has renewed my faith in all things musical/art/soul....

[@roncisvalle6585]

Anche a Rimbaud sarebbe piaciuto questo pezzo.

[@brugalassogmailgalasso6967]

Quindi lei è Stella delle Warpaint non mi ero sbagliato??

[@thehappytimpanist]

Such beautiful drumming....

[@Eltoro353]

+thehappytimpanist Stella.......

[@WallyBrando]

+thehappytimpanist Yeah, Stella Mozgawa kicks ass. The material from B'lieve sounds awkward with anyone but her on drums

[@dewimatthews]

Stellaaaaah ! Recognisable without her Warpaint.

[@thomashollebrand8204]

this performance is freakin' awesome, with Stella on the drums. LOVE IT!!!!

[@Jninez]

Humming a sad song, when I'm alone But you gotta be alone to figure things out sometimes Be alone, when even in a crowd of friends and not so

[@hexis23]

YES! Daily meditation is the inner connection with the Divine!

[@puddywoody]

I first heard this in a lovely bar on a cold Sunday afternoon. Gorgeous song.

[@melonhead49]

I love lovely bars

[@dmanntube]

Can't be beat

[@shineon4863]

Anyone (I was one) who says there is NO good music out there today hasn't found this album. Just wow. Great stuff.

[@SchokoKekseFTW]

Shine On check out The Growlers, Allah-Las and bjm.. best music today

[@weedarnc123]

Also BRMC and black angels.

[@froginthemachine]

Rob doing that spooky-sounding guitar stuff gives me chills. I love it

[@froginthemachine]

I figured out that he's using an ebow

[@Drivehead103]

Nazareth no mean City has some nice spooky sounding guitar, but it is a hard rock album and not smooth and mellow.

[@roncisvalle6585]

B e l l i s s i m a questa versione così intimista. Non dovrebbe finire mai. Ebow sublime, batteria pulsante direttamente dal cuore di una stella e bravo anche lui, il Kurt.

[@lloydharrison3247]

Bevera, Lombardy, Summer 2016. The jasmine scented nights, these song echoing about the place, joy.

[@erickistemaker9788]

I am obsessed with him. So mesmerizing.

[@willrobben7768]

love the e-bow

[@rambleman2329]

Just getting into Kurt Vile. Everything I've listened to is pretty amazing. This album in particular is a revelation. Bravo!

[@markrooms7986]

So comforting, ... a pal when loneliness dwells in ... although my brother gets depressed by listening him.

[@calixa]

been pretty involved with this record since it came, love it. Like an idiot, only recently heard it through headphones. whole nutha level

[@melonhead49]

So true

[@joshalvarado2477]

Awesome live sound! sounds tight yet comfortable and flows great

[@leanna3724]

Stella my fav

[@PlanetRockJesus]

That was awesome. I just discovered Kurt Vile and his clan. Great stuff.

[@dillonnash6961]

That guitar intro..could listen to it for hours

[@melonhead49]

Banger

[@choufy]

Best song of the winter !

[@sadiegabler3533]

Just got my tix for his show in SLC in August. Can't wait!

[@JonLigi]

Just awesome!!

[@nolarocks]

So good

[@YruamaZepol]

Fuck yeah stella

[@odacifingis]

una joya es esto

[@dynjarren7523]

Kurt has got a unique playing style that I can’t seem to copy. And he let’s his freak flag fly with that hair. I like the drummer girl. She’s good and easy on the eyes.

[@alexbuccheri5350]

holy shit this is beautiful.

[@Eltoro353]

Stella on the drums? I realy love this girl!....

[@slowmotiondeath]

The tuning is an open Eb6 chord: Eb A# D# G C Eb

[@AlanBrownArt]

O-M-G!

[@dewimatthews]

Stellaaaaah! A drum part named Desire.

[@Jamesdhillegas]

so f***ing good

[@vjlva]

Kingdom ;D

[@217potato]

Fuck yeah!

[@cloudsgrey]

omg

[@bschraeger4232]

Is that the drummer from Warpaint? Excellent!!! 💖

[@peterrossi3349]

Day o

[@robertcooper411]

They remind me of a 70s band called the outlaws not putting Kurt down by the way .

[@slavekp420]

definition of EXQUISITE!

[@hexis23]

Pretty drummer of Warpaint.

[@calebrobinson6406]

Salt shaker taped to the drumstick and a tambourine on the hi-hat

[@jgwire]

anybody know what tuning....? great song here....

[@iwillnevergetone5]

+jay wire was just about ask the same thing! I've got my guit in hand and while it (can) be played in standard, he's definitely tuned to something else, as we can both see from the positions left hand is in. It definitely looks like the A, D, & G strings are tuned to A#, D# and G, respectively. During the main riff, he's only moving his pointer finger between 0 and 2nd fret (on the string tuned to A#) and the other two notes are open and droning through the whole thing. We're half way there, just gotta figure out the other three string tunings haha

[@rhysowe]

+jay wire Works for me as Eb A# D# G# B Eb

[@jgwire]

+Rhys Owen thanks...he uses so many strange tunings..wonder where he gets them from?

[@iwillnevergetone5]

Rhys Owen jay wire In this vid it's just a regular G, not sharp. obviously the tune can be played in many tunings yes (like i mentioned in my first comment), but looking at his fingerings during this vid, the G isn't tuned sharp. just G

[@rhysowe]

+Darrien Day Yeah, sorry, you're right and just checked - that's what my guitar is still tuned to this morning. Eb A# D# G B Eb. It's super easy from the vid or ear to play from there. Can't say I've ever used that tuning before. Have fun folks.

[@joshalvarado2477]

whats that thing being used by the lead guitarist for the sustained echoing effect?

[@dewimatthews]

E-bow

[@NorthSDsurfer]

reminds me of dinosaur jr.

[@awesomelywe]

those anyone knows what device they use to vibrate that one string?

[@awesomelywe]

does*

[@starbuck26]

+As-hh it's called an E-Bow. Pretty much a magnet that will get the string to resonate.

[@awesomelywe]

cheers mate

[@dmanntube]

Nice ebow sounds

[@starshineraiser6729]

Swirlies shirt?

[@djlazypaul]

John Tierney that's what I was wondering... if so bad ass

[@psychedelicpain420]

Can someone please tell me what kind of jacket Kurt is wearing?? Plz?

[@stonecole4703]

I think it comes from the Charlie Kelly collection.

[@davidmatthews3131]

Looks like WW2 Army surplus.

[@johanusyolder]

Damn. That's a sweet as tune. Sweet like the nectar of a thousand nipples.

[@flyingfishsurf]

One well beaten jaguar.

[@217potato]

Fuck yeah!
