    The way I've often described the similarities between Fishing for Fishes and Infest the Rats Nest is that Gishies is a man in a park with an acoustic guitar singing about how the planet is something we should take care of, where as rats Nest is that same man smashing his guitar, shooting Elon Musk in the face, and shouting," DID I FUCKING STUTTER."

    Saw them live in Las Vegas when they were touring for Nonagon Infinity. Venue was outside and had the stage, a large area for the crowd, and then in the back a pool. In the middle of their set Stu crowd-surfed and asked to be thrown in the pool. He swam for a bit then crowd-surfed back to the stage. The whole time the band was just shredding away. Top 10 concert experience for me.

    A few years ago I was invited to come see King Gizz, who I had never heard of, by a friend and I lazily listened to a couple songs on their most recent album a couple weeks before the gig. Turns out, what had been the most recent album when I was listening, Fishing for Fishies, was no longer the most recent album when I saw them live. After two great opening bands that I've entirely forgotten they opened the night with Mars For The Rich and I was taken entirely by surprise. Incredible night, Mars and In Your Mind and Rattlesnake are all so good live, I can't recommend them enough.

    Couple of notes from an Australian fan:
    - Opening on a shot of Sydney for a Melbourne band is very funny, well done
    - Weird that you didn't mention Ambrose is IN the Murlocs when you first brought up Gizzfest
    - Also lol'd at calling Babe Rainbow "Baby Rainbow"
    - I was at the gig you used footage from during the Nonagon passage, at the Metro Theatre in Sydney. Great gig! I've seen them 11 times all up, from tiny clubs to big festivals, and they're always a memorable show.
    - Wish you'd mentioned the band playing Lord Of Lightning on Conan when you showed that footage, if only for Conan absolutely RELISHING saying the band name.
    - As an Australian it's really funny to hear you shorten the band name to KG, because we all call them King Gizz! That might sound weird with an American accent though 😂
    Loved this video, well done!

    The Magnolia song joke...That is why I subscribed to you Mic years ago.
    You combine wit with musical analysis in the best way possible, great dive.

    Could you please do a DDD for the beach boys? I know they have a crap ton of albums, but I think it would be really interesting to see. Thanks!

    Bands with giant discographies with multiple albums released in a year have always intimidated me, and that's why I never made an attempt to get into King Gizzard. I appreciate the overview and the key highlights at the end that makes things a little easier.
    Also every time I heard the phrase "KG" I kept thinking of Kyle Gass.

    I saw Gizz 3 times during that 2017 5 album run, they were constantly touring while recording 5 albums at the same time, i don't know how they do it!!

    Mic, I just can not just like and leave the video. I have to let you know of how fantastic of a job you've done with this and all of your other videos really. I am looking forward to each new video and still getting blown away by your playful writing and both tight and easy going editing. You are doing lords work, keep it up man and take care!!

    I absolutely love Flying Microtonal Banana. It's such a fascinating and imaginative exploration of microtonal and middle eastern music that made me fall in love with those cultures. Plus Billabong Valley is just a masterpiece.

    "Am I in Heaven?" might have been the song that cemented them as my favorite band, hearing the intro to that while I was tripping was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. I have stopped doing drugs but their music is just as enjoyable sober. I also think that their music is fun to breakdown and try to play. There is a lot to love about them. Great vid!

  • @AnthonyHVids

    Definitely going into King Gizzard now. Thanks DDD and Mic the Snare!
    Also, if it drops this year, I would love a DDD on Muse. Such an interesting band with an album that might come out this year that might blow the fans socks off.

    So many of these albums were perfect from start to finish. Murder of the Universe fit perfectly into my drive home from work when I first discovered it, so I plowed through that story probably 30 times before purchasing the vinyl without a record player.

    I absolutely ADORE that one can hear the enthousiasm with which you talk about the Gizz! It's my special interest and hearing others dig up so much on their history, talk about their work in detail and praise it for what it is makes me so damn happy, you can't imagine! Thank you so much for this video, and I'm only 7 minutes in! :D
    For songs, so much of Joey's work has stuck with me: Anoxia, Intrasport, Interior People, Ataraxia and especially Minimum Brain Size.
    For other things, the origin story of KGs dive into microtonality. On tour, Stu decided to take a detour through Turkey (even tho it wasn't NEARLY on the track for where they were supposed to head), where he ended up listening to a lot of local music and fell in love with the baglama, a turkish microtonal string instrument with moveable frets. As the thin neck and other bits of the instrument just didn't seem made for him, he pitched the idea of a microtonal guitar to Zac Eccles after he asked Stu for new ideas for instrument projects. Thus, the Flying Microtonal Banana was born. The following album was thusly named after the guitar, as she's featured quite prominently on the album cover :D (All this is from an Interview with Stu which was uploaded to CZcams) The rest of the instruments followed suit as they picked up cheap instruments from flea markets and yard sales and modified them (such as Lucas' 'Gubson' bass)
    And the fact that Joey named one of his guitars Dickhead. Classy, Walky Jake.
    AND the fact that Cavs' giant cat is named Moon Unit. And his dog Basil, which he originally wanted to name Diet Coke but his wife said No.

    Nonagon Infinity was my first real exposure to KG, and goddamn what an intro. The album just kicks ass.
    Murder of the Universe is probably my fav KG album. It's just such a fun and WILD journey.
    I love L.W.. SO many bangers on that album.

    MOTU was actually the first full album I listened to from them, and it blew me away and shook me to my core. The final song sunk fear into my heart in a way I could never describe, and I was immediately hooked for life. I've been listening to them nearly every day since 2019, and the funky lads always bring joy to my life with their wild ass music.
