King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Crumbling Castle (Live on KEXP) 

I genuinely can't believe this band is real

Absolute legends. What a track. This is once in a lifetime shit.

i hate king giz cause they’ve got an album for every mood. because of this, i haven’t listened to another artist in over a month...why they gotta be so damn good :,))

7:45 gotta give amby some credit he is absolutely slaying that harmonica over there

Oh my, so this is what Jack Black and Kyle Gass played for the shiny demon in the middle of the road.

I hope these legends get the recognition they deserve within their lifespan.

That drummer hit thrift store gold when he found the yellow "Sabbath Worship" t-shirt.

I hope these guys are around for a long, long time.

2 drummers is crazy. i love kexp since i lived in Seattle 15 years ago. cheers from Texas.

3:24 SHOW ME THE DRUMS, SILLY EDITOR MAN

Feels like I'm cruising through the desert during the Ottoman period.

KGLW are modern day greats. 50-100 years from now people will still be listening to this music and cover their songs. I saw them live at the Hollywood bowl and I felt like I was at Woodstock. It was their largest show to date and it felt like witnessing history. In fact, it is history.

This track sounds like if TOOL made an album in 1967 lmao

That chord on the third "crumbling" at 6:04 is the reason I am alive.

Ambrose out here in he gotdam bare feet

One of my fondest memories is seeing them play this live. It was my favourite song of the performance. The whole crowd was heaving and roaring; I'd never been in a mosh before, and I was part of a circle mosh during this song. The commotion, the energy, the movement, was truly electrifying, and that combined with the kaleidoscopic light show and the nature of the lyrics actually transported me to the world of the song: the crashing waves of the sea, the storm, and the castle at the centre of it

Because nobody really owns polygondwanaland, does that mean that KGLW are technically doing a cover of their own song?

Its unreal how this band manages to pull off so many good songs in such a short period of time. They did what, five albums in one year??

You gotta love how Stu mixes these sessions

When these guys played this at desert daze 18 my mind melted. Absolutely insane band

Who else gets oddly emotional when listening to this song? It’s so powerful yet so melodic, and it reminds me of the ephemeral state of humanity and civilization.

Cheryl waters is like the mom of indie rock

I wish they had more of these kinda long progy songs

This band is new messiah. Thank you Gizz for bringing epic music in a world gone mad.

Its a testament to this band that I feel like this song drags on way too long with the end perfectly embodying "overstays its welcome" AND YET ITS STILL ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SONGS I mean, what Goddamn musical magic is it that can make a song that I should dislike one I love so much? It's harmonic Heaven.

Funny thing is if you play all their albums during a single party, people will think each one's from a different band.

Lucas' basslines are always killer, but on this particular record they are truly amazing.. beautiful and inventive, in the part that starts 4:36 he even gets a mini-solo that sounds like a fairy quickly tip-toeing underneath the sweet guitar multi-noodling. Later on the album, on Loyalty at 27:03 he's laying out a simple but sooo powerful bassline before yet another great flutey mellotrony breakdown. Waaaaa these guys are so good... hope they never break up, wish they never die

I swear I can almost hear Cookie saying: "I am the Danger!"

how the fuck did Stu compose this

King Gizzard is one of the few bands that is way better live than on record.

2:15 I feel it too!!!

Man they're killing it live. I'm much more into these live sessions

I like the drummer in the yellow shirt.

Best band of the last ten years!

the way these guys are able to just get all this energy out and transform it into these crazy sounds still gets to me and ive been a fan of them for years. they work so well together! they guys are true "alchemists" if you catch my drift

This is outrageously good.

Everything I love about Early King Crimson, Yes, Jethro Tull and Gentle Giant in this melodic fusion of the best of those prog styles and more. Really Great. This is definitely on the top of my listen list for months and beyond. Thank you for making this music.

wow I havent gotten excited by any new rock music in a long time but this is some led zeppelin / mars volta par shit; dope.

They released FIVE STUDIO ALBUMS in 2017??????? What the hell This song is killer though, so I gotta start somewhere...

During the break you can see a bassist that's counting tempo like his life depends

when you like this comment, you will feel new insight

Now I'm officially a fan of this band , thank you!

It's fucking tight!

How not to love Cheryl when she dances like this to King Gizzard? 2:37

This is the best band ever.

Still my favorite gizzard song and just my favorite song in general.

Was ist das für eine geile Mucke Ich bin 71 und sowas tolles hab ich schon lange nicht mehr gehört Vielen Dank

This is my favorite performance of the song, every instrument is heard, the vocals have grit and gut, full of emotion.

These guys' parents clearly rocked them to sleep with Astronomy Domine every night in their childhoods :D

Whoah... I stumbled upon Hällas and now THESE GUYS! Kooky stuff! Love it!

May King Gizzard live long and prosper...the truly are Gods!

I only want to say one thing: FUCK YEAH!

I cannot get tired of this song :)

First time I heard this band was 2 days ago. I was tripping on acid. It was an experience and a half. Fell in love instantly

Superbug would be great on a Live on KEXP

7:00 on - I’ve said it on another video and I’ll say it here. This transition is just so incredibly kickass. Ambrose killing it on the harmonica too. Goosebumps every single time

Phenomenal band but mvp in this performance is the mixer guy

Oh yeahhh!!!!

hahahaha I'm glad the editors separated correctly crumbling castle and the fourth colour, the first edition was so weird, I understand now why the first batch of videos were taken down.

YAAS FINALLY

That's absolutely fantastic

Polygondawandaland=gold

how is no one talking about 4:36 ????

Meet me glassy eyed, blind, and divine Hold down the fort on the coastline The castle is a pimple on the face of the world A humble spot for tracks to drop if you listen I see through the bricks, to the sea, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle We pray for the death, that does not come, crumbling castle Dug all of our holes in God's Acre, crumbling castle We have even said our last rites, crumbling castle Are we safe in our holding cell? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle We head to our extinction, crumbling castle The sounds of the constant lightning Would be enough to block out the Fall of the end of the world if it were Not for the tinnitus from the bomb In the wind I sway, back and forth I'm brittle as an aged human being When my walls are safe from wild weather The filth forms into great nastiness Polygondwanaland I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to fall into dust I don't want nothing but to live on The ache inside my keep spurs me on I don't want to be visible Polygondwanaland I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle On this very day, in one thousand Years the earth will be relative to the Sun and the moon and a new world will be Created, I know because it is written here I see through the bricks to the sea, crumbling castle Inching closer each century, crumbling castle Water's rising up, thick and green, crumbling castle Are we safe in our citadel? Look upon our condition, crumbling castle You would not believe where I'm from, crumbling castle I don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle Don't want to be a crumbling, crumbling, crumbling castle

This won't be the same without Eric...

You know it’s epic when the 8 minute version is the reduced edit

Great, this is stuck in my head again now. Thanks KEXP.

Really loving all these return visits to KEXP! Woop!

YESS FINALLY!!!

Ambrose eu te amo ❤

The way it ends is great

For a sound so perfected, they make it look so easy!

how can this band sound so much highly level as their album recordings? just incredible gizzs

This video makes me remember that Cookie DID shave his head once. In my brain he's terminally Pig-Pen in person without dirt covering him. He has that kind of nasally cartoony voice too. In that note, I like Cookie. It's a compliment more than a bad thing

Whoever did the sound for this is awesome as hell.

Polygondwanaland is one of the greatest rock albums of all time for me. Just how it tells a story without interruption and you don't even realize the transitions of the songs.

"KING GIZZARD AND THE WIZARD LIZARD"

I love the way they combine history and cultures of distant lands and people into a living musical narrative. Go Ozzies.🦎🦜🌞

This track would be absolute perfection if the riff at the last 10 seconds was like a minute long. I love that bit and always feel like it cuts off too early.

This is just precious. WHAT A BAND!

Heyy!! These guys are playing my song that I own!!

Where's your god now, cuz mine is live on KEXP.

Might be my most watched video on yt.

Might just be one of the greatest songs of all time!!

i wish i would've been born cheryl waters

This is one of the greatest songs of all time..... for me anyway! Legends!!

0:38 Ambrose what are you doing 😳

Tune!

the tempo changes between 5/4 and 7/4 are crazy, so mesmerizing

Let's be grateful to the 60's psychedelic groups.. Cause they pushed others to create masterpieces and add them to psychedelia

help, I've already liked this but I can't like it again

The Strokes are my favorite band of the 2000's. I think KGLZW is now my favorite band of this decade, maybe competing with Royal Blood

I had to comment to make it 800 comments but yeah my fave song of all time

why isn't anybody talking about how cool Cookiedog69 looks? He looks like a hitman with his bald head

Those drummers are locked IN!

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY!

The feeling from this tune is nearly indescribable. What a band.

i love how the host just stands there grooving while the band goes crazy

7:30 that section is pure perfection
