Stu fucking conjures something with that last verse. Insane.
I agree
Bro is practiced in Witchcraft
@@lordhector2814 lightning lords potion apprentice and he who will inherit the lightning lords title upon the lightning lords demise, premature or as fate dictates.
@@lordhector2814really?
he'll accept those that commit, if we dance in the MAGMA SUBTERRANEAN CZAR
I love how they started off as an acid soaked garage punk band and morphed into the best metal/jam/prog band
still need to return to that garage punk sound, it was too good
And how does eyes like the sky fit into that? Jokes aside, these guys are really solid, prolific and authentic.
@@novkorova2774 Concept album practise.
@@gosuslugee I agree! A return to the beginning album would be great
I’d still say the metal sound is in the minority of their discography. It has the least amount of music behind it even though what’s out is very popular for good reason!
So underrated, I can’t forgive radio station for not playing absolute bangers like this.
Song deserves millions of views. I keep coming back to this.
Lucas coming in HARD with those baselines 🔥
Lucas most under appreciated member. Need more love for the man!
@@CritSupport absolutely! He’s JAMING on these songs. We love us some Lukey
Love Lucas, but most basslines are written by Stu (sometimes Joey). He is still the performer though.
@@JovemEverton to be fair, ice death was a bunch of edited down jam sessions, so it's entirely fair to credit Lukey for these basslines as he was no doubt doing them during the original sessions
@@StonkyStuff look at the album credits, he only really contributed lyrics for this album. bass was all stu, joey and cookie
If you haven't yet listened with good headphones or at a high volume with stereo speakers...... do it now...... oh my...
They jam so effortlessly! Even three guitars, never imposing on each other!
Thanks!
@@rhythmjones why are you taking credit
@@quinnsforza3225 LMAO I was responding to the wrong comment!
thanks man appreciate the feedback
Thanks so much DonakRV!
8:40 hits like a fucking train holy fuck
Road train
obsidian cleaver make believer 👁
Cavs' drumming is godly. Unbelievably good song.
it must be so hard to do this for 10 minutes. the man is insane
His solo album is nutty
@@danielbarlev1901 It's so good
Always thought he was a great drummer but recently he has been turning into a monster.
I loved watching him and Eric together, but I agree he's so godlike.
These guys played in Argentina in march this year. I work with the opener band 'Winona Riders'. The level of live performance they manage is amazing, mesmerizing, probably the best show i've ever been to. Gizz was also sick!
This song is so driven by the bass, Lukey absolutely killed it here
So true
Reading this comment and my ear focuses on the groove. Thanks for the reminder 😊
This summons something deeper and more archaic than just humans making noise and us listening. Feels like archetypal power moves through them. Fucking rocks...and magmas
That is a interesting approach
If there exist any "entity" to sell your soul to in exchange for absolute monster jams, then these guys seem to have definitely met with it before.
7:30 Holy shit
Ms. Waters spoke for all of us with that “hell yeah”
BEST. FUCKIN BAND IN THE WORLLLD
Usually I don't like hyperbole but you probably have a solid case...
Best band in the world right now - holy sh*tballs, this is good.
Holy sh*tballs is right!
Holy
@@deanmaddox6855 saying shitballs is never right
@timgimmy Ah, but writing it in a CZcams comment never felt more right!
Opeth would like a word with you....
Cheryl speaking out loud what all of us felt at the end of that
Been waiting for the properly mixed version to drop since this aired live. The heaviness of this cut makes the grooviness stand out. It's even better than the album version imo. I do kinda wish the vocals were mixed ever so slightly higher though.
Gotta complain to Stu for mixing himself down haha
I don't know how much they pay to the engineer sound but they don't pay enough hahaha
Live sessions are a bit different to engineer/mix the drums naturally will bleed into the vocal mic. So when mixing, if you bring up vocals ,you just also brought the drums up even more. It’s a balance. You just gotta work with mic bleed live.
Yeah, it's an absolutely amazing version. Album version is mind-blowingly good, probably the best song on an overall astounding album, but man they manage to raise the bar even higher here.
It is a good version and the vocals are more intense. Magma feels so much more havier and energetic, but it loses a lot nevertheless, the studio version is much more intrincate and is played perfectly, this one sounds like a different song(which I also like).
9:00
Me trying to convince my friends to listen to king gizzard:
My child will be conceived and born to this recording
Their best jam session on KEXP hands down! We're not worthy! We're not worthy!
Nope Iron Lung Kexp version absolutely outstanding.
Agreed. This version of Magma is insanely good. Same goes for Lord of Lightning and Crumbling Castle.
@@sdhjsjana72js Same for me. It was so close.
i love sorting comments to new and seeing peoples first reaction to this
I was lucky enough to see them in Seattle the day before they recorded this. They closed the show with the exact same set they did at KEXP (Ice V, Iron Lung and Magma.) Ice V and Iron lung had come out already, but I was surprised they were closing on a brand new track, especially one nobody had heard yet. They then proceeded to sound pretty much exactly like they sounded here, except with a giant pulsating red mass behind them, projecting magma-red light across the theater and crowd. It was unbelievable. See this band whenever and wherever you can, you wont regret it.
that performance of Magma melted my brain and literally changed my life
I cant believe they made the whole crowd peep the horror
@@Svellgarm I actually saw the guy who died from it. I still couldn’t stop laughing my ass off.
I just saw them play Magma like how its played here at the Hollywood Bowl it was their second to last song, left me speechless
best KEXP set ever...
They all look like live greek gods in this one
How fitting
It's hard to describe but this song feels like it has a history and a future deep in my brain. Every time there is an other part of the song or instrument that scratches an itch
"scratches an itch" fuck yes
honestly the whole album
Magma is the true word. Religion in its purest form.
I love how careful everyone was setting up this groove.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Gizz giving KEXP a master class on the groove
It’s kind of unreal how much better this version is compared to the studio version
check out how they performed gaia on this other radio station if you havent, in.sane.
ummmm... Might I invite you to the Caverns night 3 version?!
Seriously
@@justindyke2170inv please
@@penguinfriendguin1182 /party
God damn this is the best band in the world.
Also, Joey. Why you gotta look so damn cool?
Joey living his best life lol
Total DILF
We are literally watching the best band human kind has ever had to offer the world
That would be Phish in the 90s
@@TheHSIHP 😂
@@adrianordonez8800 I guess you never got to experience that.
@@TheHSIHP you must be in the shitposting group
After RUSH.
King Gizzard is not just one of the best bands of today but one of the best bands of all time
Insane insane insane insane insane insane insane they are consistently SO INSANE
Wow easily one of the greatest bands on the planet right now!!! .
Have been for the last 10 years
Best song on Ice Death. Fucking amazing performance here too. They're insane.
Damn fine band
they can do any genre. they’re unstoppable. love ‘em.
This is what King Gizz x Altin Gün collab would sound like
Dude I'd love if they did a collab with khruangbin
The best band in the 21th century probably :)
at some point in the future this band will be viewed the same way lots of us view the greats of the past now
and they'll have 50+ studio albums to rest their laurels on
Agreed. From a technical perspective i'd like to see where cavs fits into the greatest drummers of all time (taking difficult time signatures into account and a slightly different beat for the vast majority of their enormous catalog) and Amby's chops on his harmonicas also have to make the list given the way he fits it into grooves rather than simply soloing on the top of passage a song. but the way the entire band can make the performance of each song unique based on feel and by employing vocal and visual queues is unparalleled in modern bands.
You sealed the deal when you added GIJoe as a lyric....KGLWs.
Real Australian Heroes. Can't wait til Asheville in August.
This performance makes me cry. This is not the typical song that could make me cry, but it’s so so good
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
I feel this. The passion is overflowing in the performance and music. I think we as people tap into that. Nonagon even makes me cry.
@P D Pushing that sax to the limit
These guys are so unreal. It's hard to comprehend the fact that one person can be this good at something, let alone 6 people at the same time in the same group. Truly remarkable stuff.
❤
Holy fuck , what a performance!
10 years from now we will all look back and know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this band brought back rock music. nobody else is even doing it close to them. greatest in the world.
Plenty of people are and have been doing it, it never went away and likely won't
Rock music never left
Definitely the best thing i've heard in 2023
Always look forward to King Gizz visits to KEXP, the sound mixing is on-point and it makes their performance even better.
Please give your crew a raise, a cookie, a pat on the back and perhaps a hug.
Stu actually mixes these himself!
Sound engineers are GOAT
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
This is a song where the lyrics are as heavy as the music. The weight of especially that last verse is crushing
It makes me think of changes cuz there a lot of songs like Change, Hate Dancin and AstroTurf where they sound super bright but the lyrics are almost as apocalyptic as ice death planets
The GOATs are back
The river is still flowing.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
This is easily the best gizz track released in the past two years.
amazing and unclassifiable band
Finally!
Another " band beyond description"!
This is... primordial. I am in love with this song.
This show was like an elephant-toothpaste explosion of talent from 6 incredible musicians. Good on ya
I'll bet my phylactery that these guys could successfully cast Karsus' Avatar as a bard spell.
Drums at 4:55 sound like fishing for fishies and to this day I patiently wait for the day they do a set where they transition into it
evil jammy jazz, i love it
this is one of the best music performances i have ever heard
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
IDPLMAL, is such a phenomenal album. So glad these boys invest in vinyl. The experience is so much better than digital!
Idk man, see above... that's an intense digital experience
@@ryanbrink6457 I own a record player and I 100% agree, digital doesn't have any issues with the vinyl degrading over repeat listens... this shit sounds as good as the day it dropped.
Cavanagh looking like he back from the dead to knock this one out
Jesus this song's groove!! It gives me egyptian/middle eastern vibes. Especially when Cavs comes in at 2:12
YO AMBROSE GREW A MUSTACHE 🥵🥵🥵
My ears were in heaven for 10 minutes straight
This is the best 10 minutes of my life...and it's been on repeat. Glad the video is out! Thank you KEXP
stu is so happy at the end
Brutally destructive, hypnotic, addictive! How good is that feeling of getting stuck into a track, especially watching these guys talking so synergistically with all the instruments! I need to find the other gems of this band!
Yeah. They're the best band on the planet.
Its the 2:00 minute mark that does it for me....from the "Whooo' to Joey's lick on the guitar, I get chills every time.
I love the "cascading" harmonies in that section
This is my new favorite song from the band. The live versions are always so good.
Man, this song is pretty good already, but this performance is something else entirely. Especially the last verse is just so insane, probably the best king gizzard performance ever imo.
this is definitely my favorite off the album, its just so fucking powerful. the boys keep hitting us with eye opening incredible music. i live for it
you hear the rest yet?
My favorite off of the whole album since the first listen! Love everything on it and yet must point out how particularly tight the drums are!
love how bouncy Lucas is. like, he's just grooving and i really feel that.
A groovy ass bass line deserves groovy ass dance moves
they all have aged like 30 yrs since the last kexp performance
Dude they work so hard as a band. They tour so much too. They actually did a study of the hardest working musicians in the world and king gizz was ranked 9th in the world. They are prolific.
WTF ! i was staring at "Magma" the French group with Christian Vaner and i found this !!! Well done guys ! i love this also ;)
Welcome into the Gizzverse!
these guys are FUCKING AWESOME
There's a throne in rock music for one king and one wizard😃
Sooo so good... What a jam.
What you all said 👍 this is more than music, this is just..,. WOW.
The fucking drummer.
What genre should we dominate next?
Slow your roll. Phish still dominates this genre
@@TheHSIHP I'm not even sure Trey would agree with you. He's a Gizz fanboy.
My son recently put me into king izzard, Gem of a band. They are on my to-do list.with my son of course
which album/song/performance hooked you in?
For me it was the KEXP performance of the tale of altered beast
@@ohyeahitsthatoneguy usually it's dripping tap that hooks one to King Gizz, and then, every new time you don't hear what you were expecting to hear, until you realize it's too late, hook, line and sinker, you love what they do.
You're gonna do everyone in the band with your son? Gross
😳
Straight up this is my favourite musical performance ever, hard to think of any rival. So many instruments sound godly here
This tune EMERGES !
What a feast of a song.
we need more bass in mixing
One band with so many great guitarists. Wow.
better than the studio version?🚧💥⚡
Yes
I can finally die happy
Can’t wait for this to get transcribed for guitar, gonna be spending a lot of time trying to figure it out until someone much more gifted than me posts it! Definitely one of my faves from KGLW!
this one was played later in the set because Stu doesn't have his sweatshirt on
KEXP always has some of the best music. i first found them when coco rosie was on
They are so fucking incredible. Unlike any thing else!
massive amount of sound

Yeah nah yeah King Gizz is the most band of them all
3:20 goated groove right here
