Alex G - Full Rough Trade NYC Acoustic Set

[@thenaut2111]

"could you play sarah?" "yeah!" *immediately plays it* hardest shit ever

[@lifeatpaddyspub]

i can't believe you just requested for him to play sarah, right there, and he did it. for you

[@pvbri]

he did the same thing here in brazil, half of the show was fan request, such a humble artist!

it’s because they all came through the rain and stuff

I won’t get to experience the late great Elliot Smith.. but knowing Alex G may be possible warms my heart..

[@JoaoPeixoto1251]

why the comparison tho

[@UnoxOW]

@@JoaoPeixoto1251because alex g is most likely very much inspired by elliott smith and the writer of the comment likes both artists

"Everyday~ aw fuck" - Alex G

[@camillegonzales5063]

in some of his older sets i’ve noticed he is chewing gum while performing and i just think that is such a testament to his character and his talent just performing the most beautiful shit. with gum in his mouth

[@woweezowee334]

Dave Grohl has performed like entire Foo Fighters shows while chewing gum. It always looks so odd but sometimes it works for some performers vocally and maybe helps them calm nerves.

[@jukujuku6153]

Ian Williams of former Don Caballero was known for chewing bubble gum & blowing bubbles while playing guitar

[@Fig8907]

@@jukujuku6153 Ian is the man

[@sawdustanddiamonds99]

yeah i chew gum while singing a lot tbh. dave grohl does it to keep his throat lubricated since he does so much screaming, and now i can use that as retroactive justification for all the time I've been doing it lol

I've seen some big names like RHCP, Blink-182, Kendrick Lamar, MCR. Alex G is easily my favorite artist to see live. Like someone else mentioned half of his songs are fan request. Plus all his songs are like 2 mins so he can play a ton

[@SarahDale111]

I am here because of Elliott Smith comparisons, but I'm getting more of a Daniel Johnston vibe. 🤔

[@matejamatic1329]

Sarah Dale check out the rest of his stuff! I think the comparisons to elliot smith and daniel johnston are fair and valid in some rights, but he is completely unique in his own special killer way and kind of outgrows those comparisons once you give a listen go a few of his albums, namely trick, dsu, beach music and rocket are all good starts if you want to check him out some more! once you listen and if you enjoy he has an endless amount of earlier self released albums and unreleased stuff that’s all over the internet that is totally killer!
