Any Big Wreck Fans?

I just found out about these guys 3 years ago and have been listening to them ever since.  Just wondering if there are any other fans around here.....

Great vid, @digitalkettle.

Although I haven't really got into their last album yet the title track is pretty good and I love the Albert King bends in the solo:

Octahedron

Wasn't there another thread on Big Wreck before? They are pretty good. 

I really like that "Ladylike" song. It's cool. The banjo/guitar riff is sick and the guitar solo. They've done a fairly diverse back catalogue which I like.

Octahedron did you post as Octatonic on MR?

@bingefeller

No. They are two different people. @Octatonic is now "on a break" from the forum dealing with real life stuff. His old posts can be found under the username @Octatoffic, I think.

Cheers pal.  All these octas make things confusing!

Octahedron

Hahaha well you're not the first one to mix us up.

To make life more confusing for you both the Octas are in Australia  

And to make life even more confusing my username is actually the title of my favourite Mars Volta album

Big fan of the band. Control and Wolves are two songs I can play over and over again and not get in the slightest bit bored. I also think Ghosts is a great follow up to Albatross.

Thornley's playing is a wonderful mix of technique, tone and phrasing.

I'm not keen on Ghosts to be honest...  It just hasn't grabbed me the way in which Albatross did.  Albatross is one of my all time favourite albums by any band, I think every song on it is amazing.  The solo on A Million Days is pretty amazing.  I actually thought it was Steve Morse playing when I first heard it:

Just found out this is a Tom Robinson cover...

Loobs

He sounds so much like Chris Cornell

But yes, awesome guitarist

I like How Would You Know a lot.

Yeah, a lot like Chris Cornell.  Not as much as this guy though IMO......

Nice Tears For Fears cover here...

This performance is just sublime - the guitar solo starts at 4:40 and is positively Epic!
