I've seen them twice.

I couldn't understand a single word of the lyrics, but, was it really necessary?

Can tell they're not American. They kept their clothes on.

Cops playing the "just following orders" game once again, to be santa's little elves. Well, I feel sorry about those people, but then I remember, a BIG percentage of them... VOTED FOR THIS.

Awesome!
Half my life was live music.

I would love to see more drop live music dates in this music thread.

Last concert I attended was these guys, Mongolian throat singers, using many native instruments in a western metal format.

Great show!!

They opened for FFDP. I stayed for the finale! Where everyone was on stage..

I had something to give them, showed up way early and finally, after over an hour, talked to their tour manager through an interpreter.

They use a tenor Jaw Harp on several songs. I had an old Bass Jaw Harp I wanted to give them. Horrible thing, but there's no other sound like it on the planet.
It worked out.

As soon as the Mgr tried it, his eyes bugged out and he nodded his head exagerratedly as if confirming. Couldn't understand that I was giving it to them, at first.
Thanked me over and over.

I kept pounding my fist on my heart, an old American Indian way to agree with someone.
Made the night for me!

Lots more of The Hu on youtube, if you care.

Everyone has seen a jaw harp or at least heard one.
They are 3in long and make a twang sound.

The one I gave them was a Hohner, name brand, but it was a bass harp.

About 18 inches long, a little heavy. The soprano voiced ones everyone has seen weigh nothing and you press it against your teeth to make the sound resonate from your mouth.

The Bass harp has a handle and a platform on each side you have to bite down on and your entire skull becomes the resonating body that contributes to the sound. BIG TWANG!

I say it is horrible, because I can only play it about ten times before I start to get a headache.
That's not why I wanted them to have it. They were exploring world instruments and this fit their sound.

Every now and then I think I have all of Bonamassa, but I only wish I did.

Love the sound of the jaw harp .........
I bought one of the Glazyrin models quite a few years ago just to keep myself entertained ( the wife , not so much )
There are some amazing instruments out there from a variety of cultures . The Dan Moi site is a great place to check some out .

Thanks for that site post. Very cool.
Those Glazyrin models are beautiful!

Growing up in a Latin area deep south I have many hand made persussive instruments I use as wall hangers in my music room.

I'm more of a string instrument guy.
Two neat wall hangers I pull down sometimes. Both from Caribbean culture.
Also a lute, but I keep it cased.

Some guitars. Closet is packed.

This isn't the original, but it was the first version I heard.
