Disclaimer:This is a typed reaction to either a live or pre-recorded show. I do not go back and edit, or reread anything. I'm doing this for fun. I also might be too drunk & stoned to even want to attempt editing. So, I'm never doing it. If you do it once, people will start to expect things from you. There will be misspelled words, bad grammar, incoherent babbling, incompletely sentences, and odd thoughts in there. If you have a problem with that, I will fight you. <3

My name is Brody. Just a odd duck from the midwest who loves rock music from top to bottom. This is a fun way I've recently found that helps me stay engaged almost competely to the show. I don't care if zero people read these. <3

Shoutout Chris Dempsey on YouTube. (https://www.youtube.com/@Dempsee) I watch 99% of the shows from his channel.

Set/Setting for me: 2:57 Nov 16th. Finished my 6th day at work this week. We are Offically in peak season at my job. So, 6 days until Christmas. But, whatever I gotta pay off my FoV trip. Walked today. Shopping done for the week. Time to party. I got a big ass Smirnoff ICE and two 40 oz of Mickey's and Penjamin is on deck. I glanced at my last review from nov 10th, I instantly saw 4 words in a word that were gibberish. I just said "nice" to myself. lololol. I m such a lightweight when it comes to drinking right now, and I'm here for it. Its my only night off work. So, I'm gonna party and dance to King Gizzard. Barrio Slam was on the stereo for my shower and text file pregame. lol. Metal and HC have been ruling my air waves when I'm not listening to Gizz. Let get into it!!@@!!!!  

November 12, 2024 @ The Criterion · Oklahoma City, OK, USA

Frist Glance: Metal start, very nice. Lung into Hypertension. Very excited for that. 

Show Start:

OKC, Lets see what ya got. Packed house. As always. Farmer Stuy again. I m gonna have to dust off my old bibs. THERE IS GO PLANET BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!


Planet B: I love IFTRN. I listen to it often. I will always be a fan of a metal opener. Because I m always hoping for some MOTU or Nonagon for later in the set. Thats just me. Sound is on point. I got back on tinder today. Wild place. Joey on the V, Stu on the SG. COOKIEDAWG69 fucking headbanging. Going Ape shit. The band imho, is very fuckign dialed in for liek every show. Only the acoustic shows get a little loose. Cavs being the rock that he is. sick opener.

Supercell: You know me and this song. Storms fucking rule. I will go out side and witness them if they are gnarly. I live in a tornado/thunderstorm area so its sweet. Ripper. 
 
Converge: The concept of this song owns so hard. Amby killed his section. They sound pretty dialed. People worried about Stu's voice. I think he is fine. Cavs showing out early this show. Just fed my Baby Boy Lu-Dawg his din din. They are curshing, Like always.  

Witchcraft: Wing of bat, Tail of newt, fucking witchcraft. This song is like the epitome of a metal song. Subject matter, riffs, everything. Very on the nose, but sick. Joey strangling the flying V for the solo. Amby really putting tht good arm to good use on the cymbal smashing. Joe goes back to choking his guitar. Getting groovy with it. I crack a 40, I rip the pen twice. It looks like Stu has an igloobuds bootleg shirt on. I know this because I m on etsy looking for cool shit. 

Banter: Joey and the band went to the Thunder game the night before. 

Plastic Boogie: Joey opens, Stu follows and here we go. OK, I had to pause the stream to type this out. Reddit had a melt down about Rainbow hat guy. I know see him for the first time. Personally, I dont give a fuck. But I probably will talk about it going forward in this review. I try my best to never stop the video. But I wanted this to be on the record. (I m so stupid). ALso, This dude has a 6 foot beaver tail dread lock coming off his melon. Think about that. His hair 1 dread, flattened out to a beaver tail. I fucking love wooks. The reddit KGLW lore runs deep. ok, enough nonsense, lets get back to more nonsense: Stream team is really good at what they are doing now. Seems like we are getting out first jam section of th night. First nonmetal song. seems about right. full speed now. Amby letting the harmonica go. That fucking guy is so sick. Pushed though the worst part of his elbow break. Owned the whole fucking time. Jam slowed down a ton. This build should be sick. This jam went soft, then, went nice, Then BAM! fucking dark. HAHAHAH THEN FUCKING BAM! Rainbow hat guy, in mid pit swinging his Beaver tail in the air like a helicopter with 2 very spun out friends next to him. hahahahahahah. Gold. 

Open Water: Microtonal time! Joey on Dickhead, Stu on The Flying B. Just letting it fucking go. Joe and Stu out front slaying. Ok I don't have many words for that. Besides it was fun, and I like the band. Did you know that? could you tell?

Joey: calls out Cavs, Then calls out Amby for breaking is elbow on a skate board lololol. Amby asks who as here from the halloween show in '22. Joe talks about the sticker for dickhead is falling off that he put on in 2014.

All Is Known: IDK Cooks name for his microtonal or Lucas's but Ill try to find out. Cookie is going ape shit. His guitar is fucking awesome looking. Very post-modern imo. I haven't really danced so far. Straight rock show. 

Straws In The Wind: If you are feeling suicidal, in the USA call 988 if you need help. Talk to someone, I lost a brother to suicide. I have no idea if this song is about that, but it reminds me of it. I love you. Amby, smashing his part.  I love the throat singing the band does. Very unique for America when  you mix it with rock music. Cavs slowly climbing to be my favourite drummer behind Danny Carey. A lot going on in this song, I will have to check he notes afterwards. Banger of a song. 

!!!!!!!
HOLD UP: Ok, here it is. Amborse of all people finally says they named he table, Nathen. Ok, I love this band. I fucking hate the name nathen for the table. I don't have to like everything the band does. This thing, idk why, I'm going to hold firm on. No reason really, besides, I don't like it. If you don't like that. Fuck you, say it to my face, I love you jp. but the name blows
!!!!!!!

The table is out. I'mnow never calling it Nathan. Make me. ok back to the show. 


Intrasport: They kind of expanding the tabel section bby a song every show now, it was 2, now 3. I'm down for it. Ofc, I'm dancing when they break Nathan out, fuck I'm, already saying it. Bullant laying it down. Tamborine in hand. Rave jam starting out broken down but somehow coming together. ALl wizards working at the table. This part of music is going very hard.  WE bout to Slay a mother fucker I rip the pen very hard. twice. 

Set: Let's fucking go. This song owns. Any thing Egypt based owns. And you know it. You know I'm dancing, and kinda tipsy. Joey picks up the Novo. Like a blade cuts thought the synth. So nasty. WOOOOO! The GoPro goes hard. Reddit freaked out over rainbow hat guy for nothing. Joey laying it the fuck down. Pit looking very mixy.  Song sounding very cool.  

Extinction: Everyone at the table for the Nathan ending for this set. Joeseph still on the Novo, Cavs the human drum machine, human drum machineing away. Did I say everyone is at the table, that was a lie if I did. Getting jammy. Cav's holding the sticks jazz style. This lung/hypertension is what I've been waiting for. 

Banter: Ambrose thanks Nathan.

Iron Lung: Stu picks on the Flying Samurai, Joe still on the Novo. This song reminds me of the Big Lebowski. Which is always a good thing. top 5 all time movie. iykyk. Fucking shredsville. So good. I crack trhe 2nd forty when Ambrose takes control. Stu usy ouit front, getting after it. I feel like everyone takes turns a little but being in control. Between Joe, Stu, and Amby. They all lead parts of the show. OH! Cooking laying it doqwn. I'm gonna be honest with you. it gave me a half chub.  

Hypertension:  Holy fuck, I m ready. They always kill this song,. Stu went full Elivs. Stu is in fukll force. He has taken over the stage. He is a froce to be wrecken with. FUCK YES JOE! Joey just letting it the fuck off. Love that guy. God this band owns so much. Just such a different vibe. Mr. Craig Cook looking hot Af. What m i? besides the canary in the cole mine? They must love playing this song. They always do it justice. I hope they drop Time Before Timeland @ FoV. If anyone reads these, Track me down. Meet me at FoV. I love to party, and I m not a douche. I m pretty biased in that review of myself. but whatever. This jam is going wild. I fucking love this band. That really do slay that song. 

Antarctica: Ok, gotta play some new shit. if you have read any iof mny reviews you know this song means something crazy to me. and if you dont. thats cool. Cookie Song! I just sneezed 6 times in A row, fuck that was alot. 

Hog Calling Contest: I'm Drunk, and im kinda lost. But if I'm being honest, I've called some hogs in my day. Ya, feel me? Its the midwest, its 5:30. its fucking dark in my house. Cookie is taking me on flight. 

Flight b741: Everytime, I hear thesee songs played live, It shows me that it involes  everyone individualy. which is soooo coool 

The River: 20 min finisher? looks like it, Lets goooo. This should be a wild ender. I have hald a 40 oz. Im gonna kill it before this song is over. And lucky for me, I'm going no where besides the bed. I woke up at 1 AM today, It's very close to bed time for me. Fuck me, I have the hiccups, just in time for the jam section. They letting it go. Stu walked like 15 circles on the stage. Cavs leaving all out on the stage. on 2nd thought, entire bnd thowing it the fuck down, LIke what do i evn say? great band smashes ending? crowd is spun? the sky is blue? The river is a long song? I almost feel lung being played. but I'm not going to look at notes. I'm trying my best to type while drunk. it's going so so, Jam is over. Back into the River. This is offically the drunkest I've been sine I started doing these. For the record. I think I need to focus on the music more. idk. they open it up for the ending. Stu letting it be kown on his flying samurai.  

Stu ends it with a lots of "i love you". sweet guy.


Final thoughts: Ok, I wasnt't glued to the screen, but ofc reddit over reacted over the rainbow hat. Very typical of reddit, Good show. Bandd dialed the fuck in, I'm pretty tipsy. I love you!!!!!!!
