    @wienerwoods Před 5 lety +5

    I stumbled across Knowles and his band about a month ago, and he absolutely blew my mind, closing with this number. It brought tears to my eyes - It's like his vocals and guitar playing were wired into my nervous system. This video only hints at his virtuosity. You MUST see him live, at a small venue. Get right in front of his amp if you can, and make sure you choose a spot with a good vocal mix.
    The whole ensemble was magnificent, but Knowles playing is another level entirely. You can see it here with the other two guitarists - both of whom are outstanding, but no match for Knowles, and they know it. Knowles lead is blindingly fast, but he's no shredder jerk-off. His licks are original, innovative, expressive and seemingly impossible technically. Trust me, I play, and I can pull off any Clapton or Page lead if I spend a little time on it, note for note. Same goes for most guitar players. I watch and listen to them play, and I can copy most of them.
    But this stuff?
    Jesus Christ. It's based loosely on extended pentatonic scales and classic blues licks and bends, but there is some kind or alchemy or black magic going on. That's the the reason hard rock-music doesnt suck like K-pop or whatever. The devil is involved. Music is only REALLY good when Satan shows up. Hans List, Paganini, Robert Johnson. Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. The Rolling Stones. Anthrax. Marilyn Manson. Come to think of it, the Beach Boys didn't stop sucking until they worked with Charles Manson. Tool. Rage Against the Machine. Glam metal and Brittney Spears suck because Satan will have nothing to do with them.
    (Satan's like FUCK THIS SHIT. Where's OZZY?) ....
    I don't know if Knowles cut a deal with Lucifer at the crossroads like Johnson, but damn......it's hard to believe a mere mortal can play guitar and sing like that, and the way I see it, Satan's the good guy in the Bible - It's god who does all the murdering raping, and pillaging. Satan only appears a couple of times, and it's to tell people that God is an asshole, and that if they think for themselves, the world will be a better place....
    Rock on brother, rock on.

    • @acammer
      @acammer Před 5 lety +1

      I've seen him several times now, always at small venues where I'm no more than 25' from the stage! There is nothing else like it - so authentic and real. I know exactly what you mean when you say wired into your nervous system! And yea, the best part is he is typically play at 10% of his ability - he pulls it out and shows you once and a while, but only when it's appropriate and never when it doesn't fit the music. The WHOLE BAND is like that. Just great stuff!
