I cannot express how much I love Viagra Boys and their creativity. They are next level and I can't get enough of them. Glad to see them hit the channel!
I was just tuned into this band a few months ago and I'm obsessed with them too. They're going to open for Queens of the Stone Age and I'm looking so forward to it
Bass player is an absolute fucking unit. So solid. As someone else mentioned, they finished their Glasto set with Research Chemicals, a 10 minute long version, and i've no idea how the bass kept up the stamina to chug out the 16ths like he did.
I'm obsessed with VB too. Sebastian Murphy, the singer is one of my favorite people. He speaks a bunch of languages fluently, he's not dumb. You should check out the Glastonbury live 2023 video...Research chemicals. It's wild. Def the best band I've heard in years. I love that they don't give a &uck.
Check out their videos for Ain’t Nice and Sports … quite funny … oh … and do the studio version of “I feel alive!” … a Tom Waitsian vocal performance bar none … strangely compelling … and the keyboard and saxist rip up tracks well too. Worth mentioning.
His tattoo on his forehead says Lös which means Loose, like something is not sitting to tight. It can also mean that something shone. Like a lamp did shine in past tense. Swedish is weird sometimes.
Neat reaction. Great live band. Some songs on their recent album sound like early Ween! Their John Prine Cover of "In spite of ourselves" with an amazing chord change could have been in your top cover list.
Love that you covered these guys, but bummed that you anticipate so little viewership from it. There is so much great stuff going on in the world of post-punk, punk, garage and indie rock right now and - despite selling out respectable venues around the country - a lot of the artists would still get a “What? Who?” from most people on the street.
I mean, the production value is pretty high considering the less inspiring lyrics. I guess there's a lot of irony when I think about it. Really fun video Michael!
This video is gonna do better than you thought. These guys are trained jazz musicians other than the front man Sebastien. He was found by the bass player in a karaoke bar doing a rendition of a Mariah Carey song. The bass player told him he should be in a band and the rest is history. They are changing the game with their mix of serious and not so serious songs. Love to see them getting some shine on your channel.
Discovered them in early spring last year, don’t listen to anything else anymore. So glad the boys traveled through the hillbilly heartland and I had a chance to see them live…best 50 minutes of my life.
Viagra Boys is one of my favorite bands in the world for the last few years, and I'm so happy that you did a react to this. This is probably their least weird song, by a pretty huge margin. I'd love a reaction to "Ain't Nice"!
Never heard of them, then they opened for queens of the Stone Age in St. Louis last year and holy fucking shit I was sold. My friend took me to that concert, she got a signed viagra boys album from me for Christmas. They fucking rock. Lots of shrimp references in our conversations now.
They are so damn good. Definitely don’t take themselves too seriously. They have this dark, slacker, industrial dance punk groove that I never knew I needed
Their song, they closed with Research Chemicals from Glastonbury just a few weeks ago is what you should watch. At the height of their powers. Massive crowd and they killed, its a must watch
Research Chemicals was my first intro to these guys. Shrimp Shack is another fav. But the one that made me just stop and listen -again and again - is 'Upside Backwards'.
Cave World was my favorite album of 2022 by a pretty wide margin. They managed to evolve and get a little deeper without losing the whacky satirical chaos energy.
I love this band. Never thought you’d cover them. Saw them this year and it was such a fun show. This is an earlier song and, as much as I love it, I think they’re more recent stuff is the best.
I have heard about the band for a while, but never gave them much of a chance. The other day, had some inspiration to give them another listen. I am addicted.
I’m a big fan. They’re one of the most interesting bands I’ve ever seen. Unique, unconventional, interesting, addictive and fun with an attitude to boot. I’m glad more people can find them. We need more modern bands like this!
Viagra Boys have that same Swedish knack for really hooky melodies as Ghost and so many other bands from their country, they just apply it to a post-punky kind of vibe. I urge you agressively to check out more of them, esp. the KEXP version of their song Troglodyte.
Been listening to Viagra Boys live few weeks ago, on the music festival. Man, they are good, I am going to watch them live few times again. Don't miss them.
Michael, if I ever decided to take lessons again...(I'm 54) I would take them from you. I so just relate to your pure feelings and opinions and your emotion. Not all from this video but from all I've watched...which is many. Keep it going, share your talent and best wishes to much success brother!
Is it just me that laughed my frickin' ass off at this....I completely lost it on the slowdown during his push-ups. I really needed this today 😂😂😂 And Noah, I guarantee you are fun to hang out with. 👍
The lyrics vaguely remind me of the Zappa number; "white person". An old band I played in busted it out once at an open air show and the people who stuck around to see us then looked about as confused as Dylan Mulvainy on Father's day considering the selection of golden bay area metal greats we had been throwing down only moments prior...........Anyways, discovered Viagra Boys last fall and if I didn't know better I'd assume they grew up near the same funny farm where i learned to do drugs. Orem Utah, the middle of nowhere and yet the center of everywhere........ Forever.
I only ever found out about Viagra Boys because 'Research Chemicals' was in a playlist I ended up in - after finding out about The Chats from a TV show. The wild, wonderful rabbit holes of the interwebs. . .
This was by far my favorite react vid so far!!! I am equally obsessed with the Viagra Boys!! So happy to finally see everyone's reaction to these guys!
So cool to see you react to Viagra Boys! From another Scandinavian band I'd love it if you checked out the song Music Box by the Norwegian band Popol Ace (formerly Popol Vuh) it's from 1973 and it has quite an amazing solo at 3:06 in the video. I think you'll be amazed by the song, and have a lot of interesting insight! :) Best wishes from Norway!
If you go to one of their shows they do everything from play, sing, tattoo you if you desire. Let’s not also forget they lost their guitarist last year RIP ☹️. Such a strong live band
I've gotta say, buddy is a hell of a front man. That's one of the most entertaining live videos I've seen in a long time.
check them out, they are phenomenal
Watch them all, they're all great.
This version of the song is even better. From Swedish television 2019. th-cam.com/video/GSOmBae8MGw/w-d-xo.html
Sebastian Murphy,..Moved from the US to Sweden at an early age,..Joined a band,..The rest is history,..As us English say,.The Dogs Bollox,...
Sebastian Murphy gives off a lot of Lux Interior vibes. I like it.
I cannot express how much I love Viagra Boys and their creativity. They are next level and I can't get enough of them. Glad to see them hit the channel!

Dude I saw that with my dad. Hell of a show.
Bass player is an absolute fucking unit. So solid. As someone else mentioned, they finished their Glasto set with Research Chemicals, a 10 minute long version, and i've no idea how the bass kept up the stamina to chug out the 16ths like he did.
Fantastic!!! The singer has a great tone, will be checking out more from them…
So I spent 45 minutes between their KEXP vid and a little spotify, these guys are so legit. Thank you, thank you, thank you Michael!!!
Punk Rock Loser is great.
Individually, the musical parts the band are playing aren't much, but put them together and it kicks ASS. Some of the best bands are like that.
Love Viagra Boys! Saw them live this year and was completely blown away!
It’s almost like 80s early 90s punk. Nostalgic
Legend!
Sleeping with your sunglasses is a fucking sport!
Amazing stuff.
New favorite band, love these guys!
Love Viagra boys! One of the best bands today
100.000 views is not horrible at all! Goes to show how much we need bands like VB
Very “Viking spirit” 😂 thumb up for the good laugh. Cheers
Mike, if you liked this one you gotta watch their song Slow Learner on Audiotree Far Out
If I was forced to write a song about sports….I would probably end up with these lyrics. I dig this band.
OH MAN, A FENDER BULLET! I take it it's MIJ?? What a beauty!
I'm obsessed with VB too. Sebastian Murphy, the singer is one of my favorite people. He speaks a bunch of languages fluently, he's not dumb. You should check out the Glastonbury live 2023 video...Research chemicals. It's wild. Def the best band I've heard in years. I love that they don't give a &uck.
Theyre my favourite jazz band
they are a really great liveband and goes in for soundwalls and trance much more than they do on their records.
Check out their videos for Ain’t Nice and Sports … quite funny … oh … and do the studio version of “I feel alive!” … a Tom Waitsian vocal performance bar none … strangely compelling … and the keyboard and saxist rip up tracks well too. Worth mentioning.
Always good to have some comic relief. Party on, Michael.
His tattoo on his forehead says Lös which means Loose, like something is not sitting to tight. It can also mean that something shone. Like a lamp did shine in past tense. Swedish is weird sometimes.
Love your genuine reaction
One of the best bands at the moment
You absolutely need to check out them performing Research Chemicals at Glastonbury 2023, insane performance.
Neat reaction. Great live band. Some songs on their recent album sound like early Ween! Their John Prine Cover of "In spite of ourselves" with an amazing chord change could have been in your top cover list.
Sebastian Murphy fucking rocks
These dudes are spectacular.
I hope this get a million views
Love that you covered these guys, but bummed that you anticipate so little viewership from it. There is so much great stuff going on in the world of post-punk, punk, garage and indie rock right now and - despite selling out respectable venues around the country - a lot of the artists would still get a “What? Who?” from most people on the street.
Oh man that was amazing “smoking cigarettes, sports!”
SPORTS
I know these guys! I like them.
Viagra Boys are SO GOOD!
Troglodyte live (at kink) is great...
These cats are cool. The gag here is the singer is normally the one shirtless. 🇺🇸🍺
Yes !@!!!
Best new band
Love it
I love the Viagra Boys!
Hell yeah! I love Viagra Boys
awesome
Gotta do Smoko by the Chats now
Worms is good, research chemicals is brilliant
love these guys
The Sport here is that Sebastan wear a shirt and the other dont.
Entertaining as all hell...lol
Viagra Boys are amazing Troglodyte is one of my all time favorites
Please do a reaction to any Meshuggah song.
Troglodyte live, Ain't No Thief...
Funny, but I don’t think they will ever enter the rock and roll hall of fame. :-)
SPORTS!!
The great Art Tatum once said “Everyone has something to say.” Art Tatum was wrong.
Shpooooooooooorts
lol...Yes! It's all entertainment...and I can dance to it!
I mean, the production value is pretty high considering the less inspiring lyrics. I guess there's a lot of irony when I think about it. Really fun video Michael!
i found the video quite sporting
Now do Sleaford Mods. 😅

they have serious songs?
Did not expect these two parts of my life to cross over 😐
Also, need a research chemicals one pls :)
EXACTLY!
Cool music being watched and dissected by a guitarist who had a show on TH-cam about watching and dissecting cool music. C r a Z Y 😮
@@Jayveel Research chemicals they make em better every year
yeah, this is interestingly weird 😂
Viagra Boys is one of my favorite bands in the world for the last few years, and I'm so happy that you did a react to this. This is probably their least weird song, by a pretty huge margin. I'd love a reaction to "Ain't Nice"!
If you love Viagra Boys you probably should check out this live session by Maruja. Maruja (Live from Low Four Studio)
On a more musical and much less weird note, I'd like "Creatures" or "Common Sense"
Please, Michael! It's right up your alley, simple and powerful! I'll be a member so I can submit it.
Never heard of them, then they opened for queens of the Stone Age in St. Louis last year and holy fucking shit I was sold. My friend took me to that concert, she got a signed viagra boys album from me for Christmas. They fucking rock. Lots of shrimp references in our conversations now.

@@funstuff2006 the Audiotree performance of Slow Learner for me
@@funstuff2006 oh man, thank you! I listen to Viagra Boys a lot but somehow I missed that tune. Listening to it right now. It is amazing!
That research chemicals live is fucking fantastic ❤❤
Yes, I’d love to see a reaction to that!
shrimp city beach 1993 is their best performance
That's where I celebrated my birthday!
@@denniswijker7162 sorry for that lighter bro..
After 47 years I have become a sports fan.
Their "Cave World" album is great! A lot of DEVO in it!
Troglodyte is such a banger on so many levels
Cave World is like if you mixed Devo, Ween and the Stones
@@skyrothman8651and then you genetically crossed a young David Byrnes with a 8 ball of coke
Devo life!
Cave World was my favorite album of 2022 by a pretty wide margin. They managed to evolve and get a little deeper without losing the whacky satirical chaos energy.
viagra boys is about the best thing that has happened in music in the recent years
I love this band. Never thought you’d cover them. Saw them this year and it was such a fun show. This is an earlier song and, as much as I love it, I think they’re more recent stuff is the best.

One of the BEST live bands to have ever walked this Earth and so underrated. I hope this is one of your best videos ever.
I discovered Viagara Boys a few weeks ago & I’ve been obsessed with them ever since. So good
same here. They just get better each time you listen.
Discovered Viagra Boys on KEXP and absolutely became obsessed! These guys rock!
Never thought I would see Viagra Boys on here - great stuff! I'm pretty certain that most the band are jazz trained.
That rhythm section is super tight and their guitarist and synth guy are incredibly tasteful in what they play. Wouldn’t be surprised
The drummer and the saxophonist are jazz players, the rest come from punk and hardcore
Every song on each of their albums are fcking masterpieces.. these guys are genius, best band to exist in my 38 years of life.
Viagra Boys have that same Swedish knack for really hooky melodies as Ghost and so many other bands from their country, they just apply it to a post-punky kind of vibe.
I urge you agressively to check out more of them, esp. the KEXP version of their song Troglodyte.
The biggest pop groups in the world are made there, its ingrained in their culture.
Been listening to Viagra Boys live few weeks ago, on the music festival. Man, they are good, I am going to watch them live few times again. Don't miss them.
Michael, if I ever decided to take lessons again...(I'm 54) I would take them from you. I so just relate to your pure feelings and opinions and your emotion. Not all from this video but from all I've watched...which is many. Keep it going, share your talent and best wishes to much success brother!
They're actually incredible and He is an amazing frontman. One of the best live bands in a long time
Do you know Idles? Think you'd love em
These guys put on a really great live show. Very worth checking them out next time they’re in the area.
Is it just me that laughed my frickin' ass off at this....I completely lost it on the slowdown during his push-ups.
I really needed this today 😂😂😂
And Noah, I guarantee you are fun to hang out with. 👍
The lyrics vaguely remind me of the Zappa number; "white person".

i just discovered these guys 2 days ago and fell down a Viagra Boys hole. I love em lol.
Also, the singer is American. just a FYI
I like ya man! I might be biased because of my love for the VB but your reaction made me laugh 😂 thanks bud 👍
The music may be lös but the band is sooo TIGHT.
comedically dreadful
reacting to videos on the internet: now, that's a sport!
Usually everyone's wearing a shirt but the singer. I like how this video subverts that expectation. This band rules so hard.
Just like you is on my sad drunk Playlist
I appreciate the deep lyrics lol..good song gives me chats type vibes
I only ever found out about Viagra Boys because 'Research Chemicals' was in a playlist I ended up in - after finding out about The Chats from a TV show. The wild, wonderful rabbit holes of the interwebs. . .
This is one of your most viewed reaction videos in a long time
It sucked but I’m glad I watched?
My sister is going to see these guys opening for Queens Of The Stone Age. Feeling kinda jelly...
This was by far my favorite react vid so far!!! I am equally obsessed with the Viagra Boys!! So happy to finally see everyone's reaction to these guys!
I got to see them live and they are destroyers of worlds!!!
So cool to see you react to Viagra Boys! From another Scandinavian band I'd love it if you checked out the song Music Box by the Norwegian band Popol Ace (formerly Popol Vuh) it's from 1973 and it has quite an amazing solo at 3:06 in the video.

VB are fucking legends. Arguably one of the best rock bands right now
If you go to one of their shows they do everything from play, sing, tattoo you if you desire. Let’s not also forget they lost their guitarist last year RIP ☹️. Such a strong live band
Viagra Boys are an awesome band - hope you check out more of their tunes!
U got good freinds
