The Henry Kaiser story...............

What the fucking fuck?

 

[ibenhad]

Man I need a Kemper so I can profile that tone. It has alluded me for all these years and that's it. Exactly what I hear in my head.

The Henry Kaiser story...............

I had to stop about half way through as fear of death from laughter was imminent .....

OH BY THE WAY.... anybody have the TABS for this??????????????

 

[Superunknown]

From Wiki:

Kaiser has appeared on more than 250 albums and scored dozens of TV shows and films. He was awarded a GRAMMY for his work on the Beautiful Dreamer tribute to Stephen Foster.

The Henry Kaiser story...............

Holy crap! This whole time I thought the video in the OP was someone overdubbing bad playing like this Kirk Hammet video. Dude is either a comedic genius or seriously

 

[espquade]

Let's hear something more resent shall we ????

 

[espquade]

This is just awful and painful , yet fucking hilarious at the same damn time... Who listens to this shit?

Really, really terrible Tom Morello ripoff??

I think he was playing before Tom was born. While I'm not going to pretend I understand Henrys work at all, I don't, I do however meet and work with people from time to time that approach and take guitar to places truly bizarre and experiemental. Usually if you do get these guys to play something more traditional, they are incredible at whatever style you ask them to play. Some are simply bored of that traditional approach and want to go in to uncharted territories, often citing weird and wonderful instruments and exotic scales from all over the world as inspiration. Sometimes it very palatable , like Guthrie or tongue in cheek like Bucket Head or just downright weird like Henry or David Torn. Like I said, one things for sure, most of these guys could destroy most guitar players at their chosen styles.
It's funny the requests you get in amp designs from experimental guys too. They request things that most people would hate. Make my amp ghost like hell. Give me blocking distortion.....etc etc...these are just an extension of the tonal pallette to them. Again, some of it makes me cringe too, but when you realise that this same guy is a total monster player in a traditional sense, it makes you just understand more the restrictions you impose on yourself and what is and what is not music is only limited by your own preconceived notions.

Henry actually has a huge respect in the professional guitar community and is often cited as an inspiration to many more traditional guitar heroes. Love him or hate him, he's a true innovator and an astonishing musician. Not all his music is this far out there.

My thoughts exactly.

After hearing so much about the Dumble amps, this was the 1st video I saw that showcased one. I was certain that someone had over-dubbed the audio to make it sound like that. A little while later, I saw where someone else posted a similar thread, and several people immediately explained that this Kaiser guy was a genius. I did not get it, so I laughed, shook my head, and quietly moved on.

 

[racerevlon]

If this guy is genius, I'm okay with being an idiot.

You know, I've heard people say that about Henry before. What I have not seen is an example of Henry backing that prose up with his playing.

Most of us won't get it. And I'll be the first to admit that I don't get it.
They look and sound bat shit crazy while playing it but if they have fun and enjoy
it then that's all that matters.[/quote]

And it goes a little something like this:

I guess not in the Jeff Loomis/Keith Merrow professional guitar community though, huh?

Awesome !!! Makes all the difference in the world playing a TAG Cobra with the BF tuning system.
Imagine trying to play that on an Epiphone.

 

[JCDenton6]

I cant help it.....
Dear sweet god......that was garbage...

I know Garbage....and that wasnt even in the same league.

I'm tearing up over here, gotta clean the green tea off my screen and monitor, but it was so worth it!
