Lots of Neil Young comparisons, but I hear more Loudon Wainwright - and Elvis Perkins especially in the last track. Comparisons aside, I'm thrilled to have been directed to this artist.
i love chad v. look at his headless guitar. how does he fucking keep tempo on feet drumming and harmonica and guitar? my hero. chad, email me back. im literally your biggest fan
it's an SP-404 sampler. and he just has loops of noise on there by the looks of it. like before Monster he just hits a pad and triggers that looping synth noise, and keeps it going for the whole song
Like this guy. Find the 'Monster' song to be too much: if a man this talented can sing that song w/ such conviction... What is the hope for the rest of us?
If it was not for this guy alone, LSD would have completely disappeared. He alone probably buy enough to keep the business going. Talk about some seriooooooouusly trippy cartoon music videos for several of his songs. (Red hot drops) for example.
+Carlos Contreras To make more smart babies.. having kids isn't dumb... if you think it is then that proves your intelligence level. Or you are like 16-22. Just a guess/assumption.

The most underrated musician of all time... 😥
Strikes that difficult balance between heartbreaking songs and boner jokes. Love him.
I can't remember the last time I just sat and simply listened to music. Nothing else. This is amazing. Thanks for bringing my music back.
I love how delicate and thin his voice is. It conveys so much emotion
thank you skate 3 for introducing me to this beautiful human being
I love Chad VanGaalen so much. He is just so amazing and talented.
He's a fucking genius.
ahuevo we
Brandon Chávez where can I have live of mind hijacker's curse ?
No
oh man I'm so obsessed with this guy right now. brilliant!
The live version of "Monster" is awesome. Love how he stretches his voice on the chorus.
A true artist and musician his musical prowess is evident .
i worship this man
Just imagine a movie with him as a soundtrack.
He makes it look so effortless. Incredibly talented guy
Thank you kexp for promoting the best music and jewels out there
What a great voice. Love his animation too.
such a voice!!!
The host is such a fan, he's fangirling pretty hard :p
Chad Vangalaan is amazing! I absolutely love everything he does! Die hard fan here!!
He is so incredible
Definetly one of Favorite Performances on KEXP.
Such a damn delight. Come back to Toronto!
gracias porque existes y haces música, Chad
Único coment en castellano Karen! La sensibilidad de este hombre me recuerda a John frusciante.
this man is so talented
The Hero, CVG! Keep rockin'!
It fits into my brain perfectly..first riff
CVG is so great. Sad I'll probably never see him live though.
Calgary is a nice city
took 11 days for me to discover this? excited to watch digital concert
i love you chad
Brilliant! Your New album great too. Can't wait to see you in September in London.
one man show, hammer!
Great artist music love all of it a real artis!
OMg i just was thinking about his music this afternoon i didnt know he has a new album! great!
I wish Chad Vangaalen and Neil Young could collaborate on a sound. Chad sounds like he derived inspiration from Neil Young. Idk.
So so good.
His epic show outside Mac Hall on the stairs was something to see. Completely shut down and captivated everyone around him. Amazing.
darn is it touching and righteous.
excellent music
amazing!
i cannot express how much i love this talented man, thank you skate 3
So looking forward to seeing CV in Winnipeg in a few weeks. Instrumentalist cartoon junky doesn't even begin to describe him.
Killer voice.
Lots of Neil Young comparisons, but I hear more Loudon Wainwright - and Elvis Perkins especially in the last track. Comparisons aside, I'm thrilled to have been directed to this artist.
oh my gawd chaaaaaaad
For anyone wondering about his guitar, looks like a steinberger spirit gt-pro.
+Erich Fiederer I am *always* wondering about his gear.
Best stuff I have heard in a loooong time. Finally somebody who dares to make music and not that cookie cutter horseshit.
quite good
i love chad v. look at his headless guitar. how does he fucking keep tempo on feet drumming and harmonica and guitar? my hero. chad, email me back. im literally your biggest fan
genius!!!
I find chad looks like a completely different in all of his live performances. Maybe he's a shape shifting space alien from mars?
lots of love sorry
THIS IS A ONE-MAN BAND?
Yees!
I only know CVG because microsoft preloaded the *ZUNE* i bought with his red hot drops video. Anyone remember what a failure the zune was?
cubaaaseee boiiiii
He's a genius plain and simple. Anyone know what tuning he uses? For those FIVE strings?
genius
Modern day Neil Young
just what I was thinking, and not just the harmonica, and that's a compliment.
Chad where'd you get your shirt? My 2yo would make me one, he loves you
Can someone tell me whats that machine making weird noises, and how he controls it???
Luccalbu he doesn't control it
Ha has machine on The left side
it's an SP-404 sampler. and he just has loops of noise on there by the looks of it. like before Monster he just hits a pad and triggers that looping synth noise, and keeps it going for the whole song
@@nolongerinuse915 Thanks man! It took five years but in the end the awnser came! Thats awesome
Where is the other guy?
the other guy gives a good vocals to chad's voice!
Is the first song standard tuning?
No
doesn't even sound in tune
Like this guy. Find the 'Monster' song to be too much: if a man this talented can sing that song w/ such conviction... What is the hope for the rest of us?
different country Gabriel! lol
Anyone know the type of guitar he's playing?
Steinberger spirit gt-pro, but heavily modded; seems like he only has the bridge pickup (steinberg bass humbucker) in there.
whats hangmans son about?
What Brandon Chavez down below said.
I cant explain why
one man band am i right
His music sounds a bit more somber these days, I kinda miss the wild crazy songs c 2008
If it was not for this guy alone, LSD would have completely disappeared. He alone probably buy enough to keep the business going.
Talk about some seriooooooouusly trippy cartoon music videos for several of his songs. (Red hot drops) for example.
his music should've been in Being Human the U.S version
Definitely inspired by Neil Young
Neil Young old man & heart of gold [1971]
Hah one man band
Nice teeth.
why did someone so smart want to have kids?
+Carlos Contreras if only dumb people have kids then...we are only making more of them...?
poing taken
point
+Carlos Contreras To make more smart babies.. having kids isn't dumb... if you think it is then that proves your intelligence level. Or you are like 16-22. Just a guess/assumption.
Great voice, horrible music. Overall good.
You should listen to his albums. They are much better than this performance, real DIY if you are in to that kind of thing.
Thanks for the tip but I think I'll pass. There is so much great music out there!
"horrible music" yeah okay.. not like musical taste is subjective or anything.
And "great voice" is equally subjective, whats your point?
PcKaffe
he is amazing. lyrics. the psychedelic guitar. he has been in many movie soundtracks. just an overall great artist. i disagree with you.
Fantano, is that you mate?
