Video info:
Osees are an american rock band formed in San Francisco, California in 97. John Dwyer is considered the key member throughout the band’s lifespan, taking on the role as a multi instrumentalist and vocalist. But most of the time you’ll see him with a guitar over his belt buckle like a member of the beatles from an alternate universe.
His band has a sound that goes in all types of directions. Tapping into garage and punk, and psychedelic and experimental rock. In this video i thought we’d take a look at the early years of the band, their most appreciated albums and what it’s like to play their songs on guitar. I’m Lie from Lie Likes Music and this is the history, sounds and riffs of the Osees.

Crazy how little research went into this video. Theyve been experimenting with two drummers for over a decade now. Also the tunings they use are much much weirder than he gives them credit for (almost none are drop tunings) and if you watch live videos you'll see hes pretty much completely wrong, the dream especially has some very prominent drone strings he's overlooked. Also no mention at all of the folk era? Even tho he showed multiple clips from it

Lol this guy tried to argue with me like actually have an argument because I said I never seen them call themselves The OC’s meaning Orange County lol I said well I don’t think they’re from Orange County but I’m not going to say they didn’t because it’s too clever for them not to right? But obviously I know about Orange County sound (ocs) but it’s just one of those things ya know lol

Slow and steady for Dwyer is at least an album per year for over two decades and still running. 😂

I was first introduced to this band while attending a pool party in Mexico. Glad I didn't drink any of that tequila the chicken man brought with him, tho…

I think most osees stuff is in D standard (apart from maybe smote reverser) with the low string dropped occasionally for songs, this'd make the dream much easier to play than how you did it since you can just move the major chord shape on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings about instead of having to change shape

I really like when you play the riffs of the songs you talk about

The shortlived pink and brown was amazing. Lightning Bolt inspired them!

Cool Death of Island Raiders blew my mind, it was like the soundtrack to a fever dream. Imagine my delight when I found out all the rest of their massive catalogue was just as good.

John Dwyer used to listen to metal, he used to like metal. Sure, he liked The Misfits and Black Flag and other hardcore bands, but… to say that metal wasn't cool is disingenuous. I know, I was there. We were listening to Metallica, Flotsam and Jetsam, Voivod, Metal Church…. Danzig (where do you think he got the haircut?). I introduced him to The Can, so you got that right…he was and is a big fan. But he also listened to a lot of Pink Floyd and the early Floyd sound is instantly recognizable in a lot of his songs, especially Syd Barrett era Floyd. An influence many probably don't know about is Thin White Rope, they were in heavy rotation in those late 80's, early 90's days; along with a great deal of Skinny Puppy. John has had a lot of influences, and if you listen… you can hear them. Tell me if you can hear Blue Oyster Cult? 🙂

Dwyer is a right madman. The O sees have always been great, but they've never been better than at the present moment
