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'.
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’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!
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 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 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
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.
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.
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. 👍
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!
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.
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!
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
Love that you’ve now been introduced to Viagra boys. One of my fav things about your reactions is you step out of your boundaries and still always have fun
I'm normally just a lurker on YT videos, but 100% will contribute a like and a comment for my support to see more of my favorite bands like this on your channel.
I deeply appreciate you making this video. Balancing out the highly technical stuff you review with some of... um... whatever Viagra boys are... top notch!
The Viagra Boys are my favoutite current band, saw them for tue first time in England just as lockdown hit, abd they were effortless, with a huge Stooges thing going on cause of all the jazz. Incredible. We love Seb, too.
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.
@@aprilkurtz1589 Funny how we all have different associations. Others have said Devo. Personally I was thinking Ministry and Motorhead meet Joy Division and freeform jazz.
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!
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. . .
These guys sound like so many of the bands I saw in CBGBs and the other clubs on the Lower East Side back in the '80's and '90's. And I am totally here for it. Time for a deep dive!!!
Saw VB yesterday after knowing NOTHING about them. And they blew my f..king head off. Great taste in guitars too. Was like looking at my own quiver up there on stage.
Speaking of organized chaos and intermittent saxophone, I would love more than anything for you to react to King Krule's Stoned Again (live) ❤️ they are an amazing ensemble to begin with, and this performance would knock you on your butt, respectfully speaking
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.

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.

@@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!
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 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.
After 47 years I have become a sports fan.
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.
These guys put on a really great live show. Very worth checking them out next time they’re in the area.

viagra boys is about the best thing that has happened in music in the recent years
I freakin LOVE the Viagra boys ! You should watch “ live at Lowlands” their music is hypnotic …peace
Discovered Viagra Boys on KEXP and absolutely became obsessed! These guys rock!
Every song on each of their albums are fcking masterpieces.. these guys are genius, best band to exist in my 38 years of life.
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
Dude I saw that with my dad. Hell of a show.
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
I like ya man! I might be biased because of my love for the VB but your reaction made me laugh 😂 thanks bud 👍
shrimp city beach 1993 is their best performance
That's where I celebrated my birthday!
@@denniswijker7162 sorry for that lighter bro..
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.
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.
Love Viagra Boys! Saw them live this year and was completely blown away!
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. 👍
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.
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
Usually everyone's wearing a shirt but the singer. I like how this video subverts that expectation. This band rules so hard.
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!

Very “Viking spirit” 😂 thumb up for the good laugh. Cheers
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!!!

I LOL'd. Best laugh of the day. Old skool punk, love it.
love this band, one of my favorites these days. Cool to see you reacting to them!
This is one of your most viewed reaction videos in a long time
New favorite band, love these guys!

VB are fucking legends. Arguably one of the best rock bands right now
I deeply appreciate you making this video. Balancing out the highly technical stuff you review with some of... um... whatever Viagra boys are... top notch!
Legit my favorite band. Go see them live if you can.
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.
So fun. Most of their songs have a little something else in them that differentiates them from most punk bands.
It’s almost like 80s early 90s punk. Nostalgic
Always good to have some comic relief. Party on, Michael.
Luv the V-boys. Just fresh and fun
The Viagra Boys are my favoutite current band, saw them for tue first time in England just as lockdown hit, abd they were effortless, with a huge Stooges thing going on cause of all the jazz. Incredible. We love Seb, too.
Viagra Boys are an awesome band - hope you check out more of their tunes!
Love that Bullet!!!! I have an ‘83 Japanese model, and the neck is the greatest I’ve ever played.
Love Viagra boys! One of the best bands today
If I was forced to write a song about sports….I would probably end up with these lyrics. I dig this band.
I loved the vid, first one I have seen of you, but love Viagra Boys so enjoyed this - you got a subscriber, you are clearly a great musician yourself!
Obscure songs like this will bring more viewers for sure even if it’s not giant views
Legend!
Sleeping with your sunglasses is a fucking sport!
Amazing stuff.
So happy you did a video on these guys!!!
"riffed down a heater" is a new phrase I didn't know i needed in my life. Wish i still smoked lol

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.
I still shout "SPORTS!" occasionally. Heard the song years ago. Down on the beach. Weiner Dog. Rugby Ball. Love every minute of it 🤣
Somehow you keep reviewing the most low key artists I find and love one or two songs from. Rock on.
Love that you are looking at viagra boys!
Mike, if you liked this one you gotta watch their song Slow Learner on Audiotree Far Out
The tattoo says "loose". Dunno if anyone informed you about it yet. Loved your reaction!
Much love,
From STHLM, Sweden
Great band. I love bands that don’t take themselves too seriously.
Swedish band with an American frontman. Nothing but fun. LOVE THIS BAND
Thank you for doing this! You earned a new subscriber 🎉
The guy's freaking out. WTF? - I'm 71 and I LOVE the Viagra boys!
Loved this!
Reminds me of "Orange" era Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I'm in!
They were a great band, too. I'm grateful that I got to see them live. These guys(The Viagra Boys) remind me a whole lot of The B-52's.
@@aprilkurtz1589i'm curious in what way do they remind you of the B-52's
@@aprilkurtz1589 Funny how we all have different associations. Others have said Devo. Personally I was thinking Ministry and Motorhead meet Joy Division and freeform jazz.
Great band ! Have not seen this particular version!
Really enjoyed this song. Great performance.
They're opening for QOTSA on their next run. Hadn't heard of Viagra Boys before this video but now I'm more excited for them than I am QOTSA!
I enjoyed this thoroughly.
That was a fucking musical comedy and it was amazing
i love this band i need to see them live
OH MAN, A FENDER BULLET! I take it it's MIJ?? What a beauty!
Hahah great reaction to these guys man. I get to see em in 2 weeks.

Crazy I just saw a video of theirs for the 1st yesterday now you made a video
Viagra Boys are brilliant. Amazing live band.
Oh man that was amazing “smoking cigarettes, sports!”
Viagra boys are SO COOL.- you earned a subscriber with this "throwaway"
I appreciate the deep lyrics lol..good song gives me chats type vibes

Im your newest Fan! Awesome!
If anyone has the chance to see these guys live do it! They are awesome!
I've just recently come across these guys. Still can't decide if I like them or not, but keep watching. Just something about their sound. :)
Love this band.. so many ace tunes, and they dont give a monkeys.
Love your genuine reaction
saw them live so much fun
I LOOOOOOVE VIAGRA BOYS
These guys sound like so many of the bands I saw in CBGBs and the other clubs on the Lower East Side back in the '80's and '90's.

100.000 views is not horrible at all! Goes to show how much we need bands like VB
i've been into viagra boys for a few years now .. they rock
If you liked this you will love their full concert.. VB at Nox Orae... It goes off!! 🤘🤘
