Thanks for listening! - Hudba
when i was a junior in high school, i worked at a tea place. i remember listening to race on repeat, and one night i just ran home to gnaw. it always makes me emotional to remember how free i was.
im a junior in high school right now and hope to be as free as you were.
@@kylieramirez7231have fun, be brave, do uncomfortable shit, pursue new experiences. you are only young once and it goes by in flash. dont waste it.
Him struggling with the Gnaw riff make it so authentic.
That’s shits hard as fuck you have to be able to dislocate your finger 😂
@@quasar1 No he actually said he thought the riff was hard
@@quasar1 I thought you were just being cocky but rewatching the video and watching his hands he's definitely doing it on purpose
@@skwmusic5233 He does actually mess it up at first, then plays it up in a joking way.
@@headygz yeah for the verse, but the riff is all on the high e and thats it.
everyone vocalizing with alex in gnaw is so good
ugh yeah it makes me miss singing with my friends
i look so dumb watching this sobbing, with my screen 1cm away from my face
GAHAH SAME
im staring at the screen smiling like an idiot personally
Original voice and lyrics, inspired chord progressions, beautiful melodies...
Many famous songwriters will never have half is talent. He deserves to be known.
Personal opinion but I feel like skill like this may come somewhat from talent, but a good deal also arises from hard work and prolonged uninterrupted engagement with the craft
Those inspired chord progressions are from Elliott Smith.
@@colincassidy1194 Agreed. With him its hard to tell since he seems like a v private person.. but thats what makes him cool, that he doesn't show his process, or doesn't show himself 'working hard'. he makes it seem like he goes into his bedroom and just records bangers effortlessly.
God bless
He's been makin music since a young teen so he's had some time to hone his craft and talent
alex g evokes an emotion that no one else will ever be able to evoke
I agree 🩷 I think the only other artist who evokes similar emotions, is Elliott Smith imo. Who I love so dearly and is how I came to discover Alex G as he's mentioned a lot in relation to Elliott.
somewhere between heartbreak and hope
This has to be the best Alex g setlist ever
Kassia 1000000 I totally agree man it’s god tier, i wish i could’ve been here more than anything.
this seems to be the only live version of Fighting around as well
I come here every day just to listen to fighting live
@@jumbom5519 fighting is also on the Golden Tea Live too i think
@@masa_g_ no way I found you here too 😭 i always see you on tiktok
This dude is so fucking talented.
Sure is.... it runs in our family !
@@DavidAllenScoli are you related to him
@@simmisharma Also thats him and I in my picture so your answer is yes
@@DavidAllenScoli word y'all look alike
@@DavidAllenScoli can u ask him to come 2 Detroit and tell him we share a birthday thanks love you
I'd have gone to some pretty embarrassing lengths to have been there for this. Man.
i agree
This show is more inspiring to me than any musical performance I've ever seen
Phil Bender-Simon I couldn't agree more
+1
Lol When I don’t feel like recording I watch this video
@@sebastiano420 i recorded some and i think im gonna edit them tomorrow if i wont be lazy
but yeah, he is really inspiringggg
Bold statement
it's so cute when he struggles with the cords and the crowd starts singing too :'')
id buy this on dvd
When I listen to gnaw I don't feel angry. I just feel sad but like I need to do something about it. The other night I put in my earbuds, put my put the song on repeat and my phone in my pocket, and just ran as fast as I could down the road until my lungs and my legs literally couldn't take it anymore.
I didn't run anywhere in particular, but it was still nice to get that out.
Id never be able to go to an Alex g concert cuz i’d just cry
Maybe it'd feel good to cry
can confirm this happens
I went by myself and I cried
SEEING HIM TWICE IN THE SPAN OF 2 DAYS THIS AUGUST!!! I CANT WAIT
The crowd singing along to Memory gives me goosebumps
And people
he has twice as much spirit than the average artist
mind blowing how unbelievably talented he was even when he was younger
I wish so badly that I can do something like this someday... This is so beautiful
U can!
how’s it going!
*I'm hoping to do the same with my guitar! I wish you the best Prism! Also I rate the protogen pfp!*
it took me one day to finish my first song and its quite good i believe. it defo needs improvement but its not hard to write a riff. just play with your guitar and other artists’ songs and then you’ll get your ideas and authenticity
@@S-KROKkeep going it’s the only way to get better
i forgot alex g's name and for years i wondered how to find this again. Spotty plopped him in my discover weekly one day and that was wild when boom holy shit yes and now i can come back to this and sit down with yall and be like hello again old friends
Welcome back man, stick around for the new album around the corner :D
i come here to cry every six months
It’s been 6th months!!
Gnaw is most beautiful
when older folks tell me there’s no more legends in music or ask who are we gonna be listening to 50 years from now like we listen to The Beatles, I tell them Alex G.
real
this just got to be one of the best videos ive seen of Alex performing. a still shot with a yellow lamp next to just Alex sitting playing his guitar and singing his songs with a group of funny people listening, laughing and singing with him
I wish I could hear gnaw for the first time again
same, its still an amazing song but the first few times i heard it it was incredible
the first time i heard it i was tripping up north, riding in a friends car as we drove up a mountain. beautiful.
This performance this video will be with me till i leave this earth. Can never take away seeing him in Asheville in 2015 or so at a small ass venue that doesnt exist anymore singing along to deep cuts and matt cothran being there and like fifteen other ppl
what songs did he do??
alex jesus
Gsus*
too far man hes a person not a god

Is sandy on CZcams? If so can someone send link
always nice to see a tracklist from a familiar face
@@theactorjohnlarroquette this is the sweetest youtube comment i've ever read
@@acetoaster7540all of these songs are on yt
this version of after ur gone makes me feel some type of way
someone gets it
i just saw him in concert a couple months ago and it was incredible, but took place at a fairly large venue. I loved it. i love him. I always will. but i can only imagine what it must've been like to see him like this....if only. jesus.
He played all the fuckin classics, thats so sick
I wish I could have been in there for gnaw, the whole place was almost like spiritual
hey my name is david im 25
im 25 too, xavier
Hey my name is David I’m 19
I'm 25 too
hey david
Now you're 27!
crazy how different cameras can completely change the feel lol
yup
I've found that singing to this and having a nice cry heals the soul.
I can't help but choke up while I'm watching this. tears in my eyes chills down my back lump in my THROAT!!!!
He played Cards at this show too and it was sweet.
i first listened to this concert at the start of 10th grade in my hometown attending a catholic school i hated with friends but no idea who i was, but i was so happy. now, approaching my last year of high school, im in a new province with new friends who don’t really get me like my old ones did and i attend a school i don’t care about and i just feel so dreadfully indifferent to everything. i wish i had appreciated everything more. alex g just brings it all back, he was the soundtrack to a simpler time and now im actually physically sick with nostalgia. still, these songs remind me of my friends and memory is a wonderful thing. just struggling with the concept of change.
message just started playing i’m going to puke
change is so hard man, been thinking about my childhood a lot. i think the sweet spot in it all is finding a way to repurpose our memories into the present so we aren’t just stuck watching them in the past
The audience clapping to gnaw so sweet
he’s really good at writing about people who need to go to therapy lol
Fr
Alex G helps with bipolar sometimes. Usually when I’m manic which sucks as bad as depression. The house he’s in reminds me of the kitchen of a house that hosted touring bands when I was in high school. I used to go there at lunch and play organ.
8 years later and this still slaps
i come back to watch this video every week, he’s so talented and beautiful. honestly
As a songwriter, Alex G has me constantly hating myself with this kind of amazing material. Aaaah, my god. He's just too good at that shit. It's all so likable! I just... I.. I just..
ugh
I’m sure Alex feels the same about someone he admires but he kept at his craft as should you. And maybe someone one day will view you in that light
@@mikogale I used to say the exact same thing.
alex is the best, i really luv his music. my fav (:
so true ive been on a binge of his stuff tonight
I’d give anything to be at this show. Sandy gives me the chills. I feel it.
i remember listening to this when all i knew was trick, hits so much harder having been immersed in his stuff for a couple years
Alex is a real musician
idk if its just me but he genuinely helps me with coming up with songwriting ideas. it really helps since i always get stuck in traps of wanting to say smth but not being able to express it.
ty
This video could make any single soul love alex g
The energy in the room...
would give every last penny i have to see him live
me fkn too.
I come back to this again and again
I miss being able to do little shows like this..... Times have changed so much and those people are all gone for one reason or another.. What I wouldn't give to turn back time.
he looks so young !!
thanks brooklyn for letting this dude into your basement
I love this version of Gnaw so much
my favorite recording of him
i love how goofy he is despite nailing every single song like he did during recording.
i come back to this video every few months. probably my favourite video to exist. i wish so bad that i could have experienced this in person, and i hope i can experience something similar in my future
Man this gets me going
this is the best video out there
im realyly drunk and this is jsut so beautiful ive listened to it o many times >
alex g and seattle! everything is perfect
such a great artist who perfectly expresses teenage pain, ppl usually overlook teenage emotions as something pointlessly angst y or just complaining. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt that way, listening to music with painful lyrics and saddening melodies and all my family would do is overlook the feelings that were very real for me. When I listened to the music like this I felt seen, but mostly by alex g, I’m not crazy and singled out for feeling this way. I love this guy more than the world.
This could pretty easily be my favorite youtube video ever
Also if I didn’t mention this, this REALLY gets me going!!!
Fuck these songs mean so much to me, been listening since middle school now I’m in college :(
I have come back to this video dozens of times now. If I had a time machine, being here in this moment would be very high on my list. Thanks for the tunes Alex
I remember when my brother show me this video when it has like 700 views o less y can't remember but that sandy version was magic I love this video so much
i love him so much i could cry
The most talented guy I can’t wait to see him live
elliott smith pfp is so real
@@lunawtfffduster pfp is so real
@@joellarsen3281 you get it
this is the best video i think i’ve ever watched
Same
im so in love with his music
*The Ooh'ing on "Gnaw" is just incredible. I'm beyond emotional :')*
today i found this masterpiece of a video, last day of ms btw!
I watched this so many times
My foot are real itchy right now.
Artists inspire by legendary TV appearances and big-venue shows and that's great but for me this intimate, humble performance where everyone feels connected sparks the most inspiration.
i will never stop wishing i was at this show....
I'm so happy there was another camera to record Be Kind
Why?
This live version of my name is sandy might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
Starts with probably my second favourite song of his and ends with favourite. Amazing set list.
Rules is amazing.
9:52 This little bit of nonsense at the end of Gnaw just scratches my brain in the right way. I wish I could figure out how he plucked that so I could replicate it because it seems like he improvised that ending and it’s just great.
Yeah maybe it'd some riff he made up I wish there was more live videos of him playing because these types of videos help me a lot to learn how he plays.. if only the lighting was better haha
there is something quite magical about the way alex performs
It's almost 10 years on youtube
he is so amazing he makes me sob
sitting in my room with covid and this is making everything so much better. fastest 30 minutes of my life
This is all I’ve ever wanted
Much love Alex, hope to see more of these sometime! Keep doing what your doing
best video
agreed
singing w them pretending im there
hi
me too
SO GOOD!
I wish I was in this room damn. Impeccable vibes. Loved him as an artist before but I’m just so in love with this right now I can’t explain it
This is so beautiful I cry
You are fantastic Alex
this is absolutely the best setlist I've stood witness to and he played those songs so clean
the first time i listened to alex g was in 2015, time flies so fast and im still sad...
rules. fighting. 2 good.
Fully in love with this
