TV wrote Kingdom Come on Bowie's Scary Monsters album. I imagine that's a good pension.
I listened because the OP said "best guitar playing ever"
Wish I hadn't bothered.
Certainly is.
Ha!
I've been rethinking my "whole new way forwards" claim and remembered that I once came across a Grateful Dead concert bootleg from the mid-'70s that sounded eerily like Television in places… chiming, melodic, almost math-rock guitars, blueswank avoidance with lots of major scales in place of pentatonics… a strange confluence from two totally different sources.
Television always seem to get labelled with punk so my expectations are always wrong. I struggle to imagine that they were liked by the punks at all. I'll try to approach the clip in the OP with tabula rasa.
It makes things interesting.
I'd hate it if everyone agreed that Guthrie Govan was "the best"...
