I went to church and I went to school
I played by all of your mother's rules
But now its time to drink the wine
And wave goodbye, bye bye, bye
So lay us down, side by side
Once and for all
We shall not hide
So now it's time
To taste the guilt
And wave goodbye, bye, bye, bye
Fuck
Yeah.

Saw Ty on Friday in Austin. There's nothing better than hearing 100 people scream, "Bye bye, AHHHHHHHHHHHH," at the same time. It was beautiful.

ty deserves a lot of respect, he has such varied and versatile style, love his sabbath esque shit heaps
@chayseblack4162
Seriously though, he is literally one of my favorite musicians. He's just all over the place and even the full on schizophrenic madness that is the Emotional Muggers was something I got into and fully support despite the mixed feeling for the whole deal
@chazbreitenstein6911
modern music kicks ass actually. You just have to look really hard. I love this side of youtube.
@ThatKidGaming
Ty wants to make people pick up a guitar and make a record themselves. He has Succeeded.

I have had many many musical influences throughout my life. The Beatles were the band that got me into music in the first place. The Who was the band that made me wanna play an instrument on stage (gotta thank Keith for my love for the drums), Mac Demarco gave me the love of songwriting, etc etc. But the only guy who motivated me enough to learn to write, play, and record myself was Ty Segall. No other artist has pushed me as much as he has. And I bet you a lot of other musicians can say the same about him as well. I can think of a better garage rock influencer in recent times.
