Best parts of video: Posty says this is one if the ten best days of his life, and when he asks the band, “do you have a bedtime? They say no, he says “neither do I”, with great glee. Absolutely great classic video that should not be missed.
Not hating but me personally i just cant get into that guy sturgill ive tried.. youtube recommended him from listening too tyler childers and colter wall not even closely the same music..
But then again im a huge blues fan and most people hate or don't like blues music that because most people hear music but they dont really listen... people need too go back too the roots where music started and pay homage honestly... i like post Malone though..
@@cryptonator1988 have you listened to the two new sturgill albums? They are both bluegrass albums and all the pretty colors is probably the best one on those two
So much growth in my respect for Post over the last few years. Proving he isn't a one-trick pony and that he is an ACTUAL musician that truly loves music. And more love for your abilities, Michael, every video I watch. Keep up the great content... We, as music-loving musicians, are loving it!
He is one of my favorites, which is saying something cause I'm not into a lot of modern pop music or whatever genre he usually does, but he caught my attention when he covered Enter Sandman by Metallica, and it was pretty darn good. He's got an interesting voice too, and it always draws me in for some reason.
Have you seen Post’s cover of “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright”? It is several years old. That video was the first time he got my attention as a legit versatile artist.
This was the closing clip of a benefit for damages sustained during the freeze in Texas. Matthew McConaughey hosted and produced it, that’s why it said that at the end.
True....glad someone mentioned that. I could be wrong but I think I read somewhere Post Malone is from Texas or has some connections there? Idk, much about the guy but I’m not surprised he stepped up for this benefit. That fact that he choose to cover a killer song and then knocked it out if the park is bonus. ✊🏽
@@mikedeuce13 Correct, it was two hours of songs and covers by Texas artists. Highly recommend checking out the video. Lyle Lovett, Gary Clark Jr, Los Lonely Boys, and many more.
There’s a young guy named Logan Halstead who has a song called Dark Black Coal. The picking in that song is great and even better knowing that I think he’s still in high school.
I hadn’t gotten into Mr. Post until a year-and-a-half ago, my lack of effort. I was seeing a bunch of non-musical stuff with him, and he kept winning me over. Then, dove into his music and don’t regret it. He comes across as appreciative, very fortunate feeling, a very fun, engaged, and curious...very kind and respectful to others.
I remember seeing an interview where Sturgill says he wrote this song using every country trope he could come up with, and got pissed it ended up doing as well as it did.
No surprise. I have a friend who won a country song-writing competition doing exactly the same thing. Started as a porch party joke....load in every corny cliche you can think of.
He said "I'll love you till I die". Best opening line in music. Its truth, it's Universal, it's tragic, it's raw. Everything music is supposed to be. In my humble opinion.
Glad you came across this video by suggestion. I’m glad you noticed everything about the performance including the beer, and overflowing ash tray. If you know Post Malone, you know that he is addicted to cigarettes! LOL he will always surprise you and never disappoint you. I highly suggest you watch and or listen to all of his music. He is talented, gifted, raw, real, and above all Humbled and polite. He has true manners. The Nirvana concert was spot on and I know he made the entire band, proud! I really hope you dig further into his music, and all of his performances from RU-vid. I love Posty I have to watch him every day and it never gets old. Andrew Watt is really talented as well!
There is an interview with Sturgill saying he regret's writing this song and he basically said he hates playing it. Yet it is one of my favorites from him and i think it's a lot of other peoples favorite too.
Post is a great musician!! You should check out some of his stuff. Some of it is nothing like his covers so it’s really interesting and very cool seeing him play sturgill and Dwight. Feeling Whitney I think you would like it’s a beautiful mellow tune
Posty is legit. I actually got into him because I heard his cover of Don't Think Twice by Bob Dylan and couldn't get enough of it. I like a lot of his pop stuff, too. He writes good tunes.
Sturgill is one of my favs right now and love that Post is switching into Country. I just saw Paul Cauthen Live in Boulder and he was amazing - Check out Holy Ghost Fire, Prayed for rain, Slow Down, Saddle- theres so many and would love you take on him!
I've gone 20 odd years not every wanting an electric guitar's elongated fretboard. But watching your videos has changed my mind. I've always felt you don't need so many frets to make heavenly melodies. But you've changed my mind. There is some beautiful logic in the upper register madness... that just cannot be recreated on a lower pitch. (I play a simple classical)
idk if you've heard it or not, but the cover of "cocaine blues" post did with billy strings is absolutely AMAZING. the smile on post's face the entire time is so great.
Post Malone is a freaking chameleon! Playing whatever sounds good to him and typically tearing it UP! In addition, if you ever see any interviews with PM he seems super genuine and gracious. Class act. Also love his nod to Dwight when he's strumming the guitar/left arm stretched out..
I knew Post Malone when he was doing open mics in Dallas and Fort Worth. He's a lovable guy, a good rhythm guitarist, has a unique voice and before the long hair, face tattoos he covered different songs back in those days. So when everyone is shocked he's covering a Country artist I'm not. He use to cover Bob Dylan, Hendrix, Nirvana (was his favorite go to), Staind, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and Alan Jackson. He's talented but he's also a fan of modern music and I'm glad he's in the mainstream limelight cause it proves the music you make can be whatever the hell you want to do.
Matthew put together that session it was some sort of video live sessions that he did in honor of Texas musicians! So Matthew produced the get together of a bunch of musicians to do these lil live sessions!
I LOVE this version!!! Posty's voice fits the song perfectly (though he could have cut autotune) and then the other musicians... They're just killing it!
I just love your enthusiasm and the way you so quickly break down songs, not just the guitar parts but the whole arrangement. I'd love to see your reaction to Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe fame. Search for 'Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape' by Bill Nelson and the Gentlemen Rocketeers. A brilliant live set.
that opening line reminds me a bit of the one from Peter Rowans Lonesome L.A. Cowboy I been smoking dope snorting coke trying to write a song forgetting everything I know till the next line comes along.
The song that Sturgill wanted to blow up the least is currently loved by so many more now... But Michael is right. Every single line of this song is genius.
Man ... I am a big fan of yours .. and now knowing that you are a Nirvana and Kurt's fan, I feel like creating 5 new accounts just to fell like I am subscribing again to your channel... lol
Dwight’s band? Where’s Eugene Edwards?! That guy is a MONSTER player and a really nice fella the one time I spent an afternoon with him in a music store!
1.) you’re the best. The way you break down songs reminds me of how my dad taught me about music. He always reminded me “it’s not about putting in everything you can that makes a song great, it’s about removing everything you can and leaving only what matters”, and it’s the truth. As a guitar player for more than half of my life, I enjoy your analysis and passion immensely. Keep going, I’ll be here watching. 2.) my recommendation: broken window serenade by Whiskey Myers. Simply put, it’s a gut wrenching story told through beautiful lyricism. In my opinion, it’s one of the best “sad” songs I’ve ever heard in my life. By the time the song ends, you can’t help but just say “damn...” Give it a shot, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
If you haven't already covered arlo mckinley, you should definitely look at "whatever you want" by arlo... its got ALL THE FEELS! ANYTHING by Arlo is amazing
I like me some Posty. He’s an eclectic artist who sings, raps, uses auto tune, and doesn’t deny his love of rock music and his country roots, being from Texas. Check out “Circles” and “Rock Star”, two of his bigger hits. He also likes to wear his bedazzled Nudie-style suits and cowboy boots. He’s also quite a respectful and funny young guy.
This is the first time I've heard Post Malone perform as well- great song, band, and delivery. The only time I ran across him before was on an episode of The Hot Ones (hot sauce challenge) where he threatened to steal Justin Bieber's dog. World class silliness.
Big fan man! I listen to Post a lot, and he’s done a few acoustic songs, he’s a great musician! He melds with a lot of genres in his songs. Yes, he drinks a lot of bud light and smokes a lot of cigarettes😂😂👍🏻
I honestly can tell you a single post song, But I do know this dude is super chill and fun to be around. He needs to cover some great old songs because hes got that country twang and raspy voice thatll secure any song
I went to a party in the 8th grade with a girl to watch her brothers band , afterwards I sat and watch the lead singer play the acoustic guitar and sing and it was better . I told him it was awsome and asked his name he said hi I'm Kirk it was Kirk Cobain , I went with Kris Novaselic sister Dianna , If i had just known then what i know now . Oh well my sons love it and think I'm pretty cool we watched them do a show at a A Aberdeen , Washington radio shack . We all went to the same high school and it was like a scene from the movie Seven place was dark and scary hole town was crazy . It's funny because all of us poor kids wore old worn out Jean's and flannels and that became grunge none of the rich kids used to wear what we did until after Nirvana it was crazy how they changed the literal fabric of are town life is truly surreal .
The Palm-Master reviewing the Posty-master. Great day for the Palmisonians. (Still a working progress for the name of your followers but I thought I’d test that one out)
Absolutely love your stuff dude. When you get round to it any chance you could look at Arthur McBride by Paul Brady? Absolutely stunning acoustic playing and he sings and makes it look so easy.
