I don’t care about what anybody says, this man has helped continue to bring Power Pop and indie sensibilities to the forefront in a world that increasingly cares less and less about the intricate workings of good song craft. To write for himself first and have others resonate instead of writing for the people directly is so vastly different.

I’ve said it before I’ll keep saying it. He is the most talented artist of his generation. Alongside War on Drugs this is a whole different level of composition. He’s the real deal and dgaf.
10:50 I've always had a love for weird falsetto vocals ever since I heard the mothers of invention. That way of singing just fills me with joy cuz its kind of funny but also rebellious sounding to me
Ariel Pink and his band reminds me of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The sound and the vibe. Go listen to the record "'we're only in it for the money"
Kind of but also not. Zappa sounds didactic to me while Ariel is seductive. Ps. I see the Zappa stuff as a component of Ariel Pink's sound. Probably more important than I first thought. In fact I may be ready to review his discography. I liked this article: www.guitarworld.com/features/frank-zappa-perfectly-frank It might be possible to be the ideal listener for Ariel Pink though.
Dude, I've got into ariel's music when I listen to WHITE FRECKLES for the first time and my reaction was "I've never heard this Frank Zappa song, how is it possible? Its a cover? wtf?" He sounds ultra Zappa in that song.
This is how I want an album released - in a session like this.... almost every song is superior to the album version, and the vocals are amazing when they can hear themselves so better than a live performance. On top of that I suppose the songs are genius....
Yea, super performances. Usually bands have practiced songs from the album more and are better rehearsed, often even developing the song more than the album version. KEXP, KCRW, Levitation Sessions etc. are a few favorites. Growing up I think most people have this idea albums always sound better, very often because historically, live recordings are often recorded from some ones camcorder in the audience lol, reproducing a sound being blasted from a few huge speakers. And also because so many bands are drained of their artistic energy by mass-scale touring. As an adult I've spent nearly 15 years transitioning to a person who almost exclusively listens to these 'special' live performances -- special meaning when bands do them, it's often in their hayday and it also often comes out almost as a 2nd opportunity to write these songs they released before becoming perfectionists on them. When discovering new artists or music, I hardly get into albums anymore. And the more you're into experimental, raw or spontaneous musical art, generally the less desirable a formal album becomes for the appreciated person, anyway.
@@patriciofernandez2711 yea thats true. quite a few of the bands I like have turned out to have a front man that is an absolute twat. Still I love the music.

I've always wondered, does it not sound like other music? Because it sounds to me like it's a rip off of something, but I have no idea what. Alot of ariel's music gives me that feeling like its a rip off but I've never heard it before
Looks to be. Don’t know if it’s the exact model or anything but it looks similar to one I’ve used in a studio before. You can use it to play with effects and different mixing elements.
I hate this generalization. LA is haven to some of the grimmest living situations and hardest hip hop and rock in the country. Freak folk pop is a big deal, sure. As it is in other parts of the states. It's just so off to state this is the sound of L.A. Nah
Can someone help me find the studio live performance video where he's kind of lazily standing there, I think Dayzed Inn Daydreams is the last song they do.
Figured it out! For the one or two who might care (i'm one), it's an Aria pro II Thorsound 300 from the 80s. Some really great Japanese guitars back in the day. That was one of 'em
+RYAN ZACHARY ORTIZ its a roland micro cube amp hes running his vox through it. and everyone elses too i think they all use the chorus on it and he throws it to the delay on certain lines.
Matt Villiott i think it might be the cube... i wonder what kind of effects he uses too, i really dig his lo-fi sound ...especially in the recordings 💙
what he does is so solid. i'd like to put my hand in the space, where the waves of this sound float. i dont expect vibrations. no, i expect a corpus..... it is so palpable. never felt this for music... i don't know what it is....there is something crazy in these noises... but i don't get it... i just love it.
tho I feel the impulse bc there is shit all else. Ariel is just a fucked up stoner weirdo. He's no genius. He's nowhere even in the same galaxy as bowie (sorry mates)
All the vocals appear to be going into Roland Micro Cube amps. Just cheap little guitar amps with digital effects, used cleverly. Ariel is constantly manipulating his amp throughout the performance.

Thank you
Pin.
This is the best Ariel Pink performance I've ever seen and I've seen him live a few times. Definitely in awe at this.
im late to the party here but have you seen the makeout room one from R Stevie Moores first tour?
@@delasse3178 they're both great. same band. he should have kept these guys together.
@@sevendaughtersaaron was on drums in 2011
damn the vocals are amazing on this, they all sound great!
I know - sounds just like the album.
KCRW is always on top of their game. Their vids are the best
absolutely right
Kinski Assassin actually sounds better here to me
@@maybona did even know who ap before the capitol riot?
I love how Ariel’s vocals changes throughout a song and different songs. It sounds like two different people but you know it’s him ♥️
It's because of his socks
@@Iokoala it’s his socks dude
all about the socks
bro got a great vocal range
Socks? It's the power of autism
One of the few sets where you can actually tell he is having fun! Awesome, it sounds so much better when he is enjoying himself.
Indeed, this is one of the best live performances I've seen from Ariel. Extremely tight yet still playful.
This incarnation of the band was so beautiful
One of the greatest, still to this day.
I’ve said it before I’ll keep saying it. He is the most talented artist of his generation. Alongside War on Drugs this is a whole different level of composition. He’s the real deal and dgaf.
Spoke to him after his Dallas show about the secrets of his recording process. He’s as much of a genius as he is lovely to talk to
10:50 I've always had a love for weird falsetto vocals ever since I heard the mothers of invention. That way of singing just fills me with joy cuz its kind of funny but also rebellious sounding to me
I feel the exact same way:)), he just makes those weird falsetto vocals sound super cool and he does em so effortlessly dang.
ariel has his real falsetto then his goblin tongue
This was my first time hearing ‘Only In My Dreams’ and for that I’m thankful.
Amazing live performance!
man they're really at their best here! flawless

He is very creative and hypnotic with his music but I am sure his inner mind is not an easy one to handle.
explain yourself
He seems like a bit of a twat to me. Not that it makes his music any less enjoyable.
@@patriciofernandez2711 yea thats true. quite a few of the bands I like have turned out to have a front man that is an absolute twat. Still I love the music.
Living the life of a solo musician leaves a lot of room for madness

nice timecodes bro
Genius is a word often misused. This is the real thing. Honestly.
Yes. And you misused it again
Real genius, oh god I love Ariel so much
Have you ever heard music like this?( Yes, I recognize the influences, but he’s out there on his own) Exactly, that’s the point. An original.
great band and cool performance
i am so in love with this performance.
Brilliant session. Great band line up too.
If you cancelled this prodigy, the loss is YOURS.
ain't that fuckin true, and besides he hasn't been cancelled because his music is on here. he's still doing music.
it helped weed out the idiots. ariel is all ours again ❤️
Agreed :)
This is one of the dumbest cancellations I've ever seen in my life
Si
i never thought that he could be so beautiful, i love Ariel
this sounds so good
found this video in May and watched it a lot for a while
that guitarist is on point
Epic! Simply amazing that they not only create music like this but also pull it off live. I hope to see them someday.
Who was here before the Tucker Carlson mob?
Fuckin right mate take my money ariel
@@justinkerr1288 Profile pic checks out
@@justinkerr1288 he can have a good donation from me too. he's too good for the ones who want him cancelled.
fuck Tucker "the Swanson's boy" Carlson & his stupid trust fund built upon an empire of disgusting frozen TV dinners. Major Grifter.
I wonder if his leg fell asleep
No fam, it's resting...
Ariel Pink is indie in the best and deepest sense! Top-notch!
Incredible, stunning, a miracle.
Wow, what a tight band.
a TRUE ICON I luv yu Ariel! im addicted to your songs
The most overused word of the past several years.
5:49 singing - angelic
Such beautiful harmonies in Ariel’s music.
Pink Slime sounds amazing live
I love this guy so much. He makes the perfect esoteric melody's.
I'm in love with him and his music, he is just too much!!!
Incredible for a band to indulge in these fantasies.
there's only one person in the world who can write a song that sounds like "Mature Themes" and you're listening to him
I've always wondered, does it not sound like other music? Because it sounds to me like it's a rip off of something, but I have no idea what. Alot of ariel's music gives me that feeling like its a rip off but I've never heard it before
@@morrisalanisette9067that's actually the whole idea behind Ariel's music , it sounds like music you've heard before but yet never existed
@@morrisalanisette9067or I should say you've never heard it before
he's hitting high notes!
These guys are really good.
I love this concert
Peak pink
miss these guys
the fucking laugh-inhale quick cut from 14:35 - 14:39 is so funny
I literally went straight to the comments section to see if anybody else clocked that LOL
More like awkward LOL
love the Magma tee-shirt on the drummer !
ruclips.net/video/v1RK2XioUHA/видео.html
One of Brian Blade’s favorites.
Sounds like an MGMT song. I love this guy.
he had a hand in MGMT's Little Dark Ages
Only in my Dreams is sweet here... love Ariel's vox.
I love how Ariel is mixing his vocals on the spot in the amp, massive talent
loves the drummers Magma shirt.
"Well you're the nymphomaniac now"
I love this so much. ima bump all out wher ever I want
uno se rinde ante la evidencia: Ariel Pink es un genio del 'pop' !!
Wondering if Ariel will be at the inauguration
Yes he should perform. I love Ariel and PRESIDENT TRUMP!
who tf was that lady at 1:17?? what kinda studio is this
LMAO I noticed that too!!! I think it fits well with the video lmao and vibeeeee :-)
Anyone else seeing Ariel in Denver on March 5? ❤
I did!
This is like modern pop version of Syd Barret
That love me do cover is so good
what are the blue boxes everybody have? control mix panels ?
Good question
Looks to be. Don’t know if it’s the exact model or anything but it looks similar to one I’ve used in a studio before. You can use it to play with effects and different mixing elements.
Headphone mixer. You can turn all the instruments up and down In the headphones
LA sound in a nutshell
exactly!
The opener sounds like a really good Byrds song during the intro/verse and a really good beach boys song for the chorus/bridge. Ariel is a genius
I hate this generalization. LA is haven to some of the grimmest living situations and hardest hip hop and rock in the country. Freak folk pop is a big deal, sure. As it is in other parts of the states. It's just so off to state this is the sound of L.A. Nah
No it isnt goofy
Can someone help me find the studio live performance video where he's kind of lazily standing there, I think Dayzed Inn Daydreams is the last song they do.
Any idea of the guitar being played? Reminds me of my 80s Westbury. Just can't see the headstock. Sounds and looks great!
That would be Cole MGN's guitar
Figured it out! For the one or two who might care (i'm one), it's an Aria pro II Thorsound 300 from the 80s. Some really great Japanese guitars back in the day. That was one of 'em
Great lead guitar spund, indeed.
And I live that riff on the first song. Nice and dreamy.
Sorry for the dumb question, but what is the device that Ariel is tinkering with?
+RYAN ZACHARY ORTIZ its a roland micro cube amp hes running his vox through it. and everyone elses too i think they all use the chorus on it and he throws it to the delay on certain lines.
His penis
The Brian Wilson of our generation.
Yes! Total mid/late period Beach Boys.
beautiful
He's a genius :)
This is fucking AWESOME!! Kinski Assassin.....thats right.
imediatly thought of genesis p-orridge
Soo nostalgic for me ,, only in my dreams ,, so good it’s painful ❤❤❤Love, me
This reminds me of cartoon intro music from the 80's
That’s not far off 😂😂😂😂
Does Ariel run his voice through some kind of effect or reverb is that his raw voice?
You can see him adjusting the reverb on the amp in front of him at different parts of the second song.
hes running his voice through chorus and reverb and all kinds of stuff
Ariel's damned good. What a beautiful mess... Zappa meets Syd Barrett meets Beach Boys or something!
God damn they're amazing live
is that an amp Ariel singing through?
Roland Micro Cube
I think it’s just a monitor?
Matt Villiott i think it might be the cube... i wonder what kind of effects he uses too, i really dig his lo-fi sound ...especially in the recordings 💙
VOLCANIA DREAD sounds like a chorus with a phlanger, reverb, and some delay
Matt Villiott yea but what kind of:)
I'm severely disappointed in the lack of comments on how uncomfortable his shorts make one feel.
Definitely feels like some Zappa . Such a cool song
Zappa + subversively based Pet Sounds w/ a dash of Portastatic.
what he does is so solid. i'd like to put my hand in the space, where the waves of this sound float. i dont expect vibrations. no, i expect a corpus..... it is so palpable. never felt this for music... i don't know what it is....there is something crazy in these noises... but i don't get it... i just love it.
Bro...
Dude...
Lol I always find pretentious ass comments like this in Ariel Pink videos. Get a job, please
fuckin hipsters
I want to see Jesus Christ float up into the clouds, burst into flames and have 100 doves appear where his body was.
Never heard of this band here for Paz on bass
Fokkin great concert
Love the voice effects ariel
thanks for the "REUP"
19:09...
What he said?
Zapp,ish harmonies
he is already David Bowie of our era
lol
no.
tho I feel the impulse bc there is shit all else. Ariel is just a fucked up stoner weirdo. He's no genius. He's nowhere even in the same galaxy as bowie (sorry mates)
Suzy Lux Ariel pink might not be as good as David Bowie he's damn near close
That's like comparing cocaine and acid. Totally different experiences. If anything, AP has more in common with Zappa.
Love this session!
The microphone used here is Shure Beta 58a
I'd bet that Beverly Hills is not the same after Ariel moved in
Ariel had his day. This was his peak. I don't think he should be cancelled. I hate Trump.
You’re with friends. You don’t need to qualify to make it past Weirdo woke gatekeepers.
6:10 Kinski Assasin
Ariel sounds a lot like Jim Morrison
"Aren't we all?"
what is the guitar player's name with the nerd glasses? Anyone know?
This is pretty awesome
You cancelled geniuses! Good job! 👍🏻
Reading a lyrics sheet!
Love the Aaah...! shirt on the drummer
Check out their track "Input: Output". If you like Ariel Pink you should enjoy this
what is that thing that ariel has his mic plugged into? kudos to anyone who can point me in the direction lol
