- Band Teacher Reacts to Thriller by Dirty Loops and Cory Wong. I hope that you find value in my reaction and analysis of this amazing cover of a Halloween favorite, Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Dirty Loops are longtime friends and music school classmates Jonah Nilsson (vocals/keyboards), Henrik Linder (bass), and Aron Mellergardh (drums) who hail from Stockholm, Sweden.

I am excited to hear what you think of this song! If you have a song or group you would like me to check out, then just leave a comment! This community is pretty awesome with how everyone is sharing some of their favorite music for everyone to check out and enjoy!
One thing to add to your analysis: the music and the movie were both recorded in 2 different places. Dirty loops on the right hand side in Sweden, Cory Wong and the horns in the US. The lights in the back are a gimmick to suggest a single shot, but they actually never saw each other during this song.
you haven't seen nothing yet. Check out dirty loops (the trio, without the winds)! THAT is nuts.
Sometime when you're looking for another great artist to respond to I would suggest Jacob Collier's version of Lionel Richie's "All Night Long." He and Jonah are pals, have collaborated and are both managed by Quincy Jones. If you're not familiar with Jacob you have yet another artist-albeit-on a wonderfully different path to discover. In the afore mentioned video Jacob did all the arranging, scored the orchestra, among other things does a killer piano solo and completely produced the amazing video by himself. Oh yeah and he won a Grammy for his efforts. There are some cool horns in this one too.
At this point, these guys are ready to start scoring major motion pictures.
Which is something Quincy Jones has LOTS of experience with.
10:13 Bob, Did you notice the *DOUBLE BELL* Euphonium???
Every song you hear from Dirty Loops will leave you wanting more.
Hahaha, you've just been Loopified, I think. Welcome down the Dirty Loops rabbit hole. Lots more of this kind of awesome craziness down there. :D Check out "Work Shit Out", if you want to see more of the madness Aron can churn out, and Jonah has a magnificent keyboard solo in that one too. For absolutely ridiculous arrangement skills, go for "Next To You". Or maybe "Follow the Light" (also with Cory Wong) or "World on Fire" for insane bass solos. In "Breakdown" Jonah will kill you with the smoothness of his voice. And then there's all the older stuff, like covers from some ten years ago, and the album Loopified, that was released in 2014 (only "Hit Me" and "Wake Me Up" can be found as a videos on their channel from that album though). Really, with DL you can't go wrong. They haven't released a single bad song so far. They're crazy good.
I think the order of the tracks you’ve recommended are perfect!
Also, there's a really interesting interview with Henrik Linder at the bassmagazine site, where they talk about the processes of writing and arranging the songs on the Phoenix EP (go there, search for Henrik Linder Songified, and it should pop right up; I don't seem to be able to post links here). Highly recommended.
Another good interview to get some insight into how they work can be found in Cory Wong's podcast episode with Henrik Linder, where they talk about the collab album Turbo, which Thriller is from. The podcast is called Wong Notes.
Lotta, jag håller med till 100%. Hej från Helsingborg🙂
Doubling down on that, Lotta! 👌🏽
Thanks for the info! I’ll check the suggestions out. I have been loopified for sure. Thanks for watching!
Dude, you steppeed on a land mine, you won't go unscathed. Welcome to the Loop. Keep your socks on and always check the credits. Great first DL reaction!
Thanks for the kind words! I can’t wait to watch more.
"you stepped on a land mine".. so true, I just "found" DL two days ago, I'm hooked now
@@MauriceBierhuizen Welcome to this joyful part of the musicverse, try to keep your brains inside the container through all the ride
So glad someone is picking up on the brass section talents 😊
Love your reaction brother 🔥
Thanks! Yeah they are incredible.
@@bobcieslinski Ring of saturn from the same album also has very nice brass I think! (Or rather woodwind...)
@@petraljungberg awesome track!
@@Flashblackyc4 Yes, it really is!
I really enjoyed your reaction! I love it when someone new discovers Dirty Loops, and this particular collaboration is surely a match made in heaven. If you want more incredible horn-action, check out another collaboration with the same team: TURBO! It'll blow your socks off.
I will check it out thanks for suggesting it!
This whole album is worth checking out even if not as a reaction. Check out the song Turbo. The sax !
Turbo hasn’t gotten nearly enough love. It’s ridiculous
I will check it out. Thanks!
I am excited to hear what you think of this group and song! If you have any suggestions for groups and songs for me to do a video on, drop it in the comments.
Its nice to see a reactor analyzing the horn section.
And imo I think Jonah sounds like Stevie Wonder a bit.
These guys are truly gifted and I love everything they make.
"Work shit out" by them is the real "show off" piece and its absolutely incredible.
Yeah you are right he did vibe Stevie at the end and I missed picking up on it. I went back and can see and especially hear that Stevie funk. Thanks for the kind words.
@@bobcieslinski, when he’s putting on his sunnies, as well as his head movements in that last section, it always was saying “Stevie” 😎 to me ;)
But then, as much as there might be a MJ and a Stevie influence in Jonah’s voice, I also appreciate his totally unique Jonah Nilsson voice :)
And maybe more so now in his newer album “Now or Never”-.
Again, loved that awesome reaction and your jaw dropping so many times lol!
It made me appreciate those dudes and what they do, even more 🙏
Always great seeing someone new get loopified..! So much more for you to discover, I almost envy you.
There is such a huge following. I had no idea how popular they were. Thanks for watching!
Dirty Loops always make me happy! If you want more ”awesomeness” there is a lot more to watch 😀 Maybe start with Work shit out (a whole lot of different parts/styles and a keyboard and a drum solo)
I’ll have to check work shit out. Lots of people suggested that one.
Dirty Loops is the Nirvana. More reacts to these guys , everything is absolutely great. Jaw dropping
I agree and there will be more coming. They are just too good.
I loved it. May I suggest their original song, Follow The Light? It's just as good. Musicianship is of course through the roof, too. ;)
Many people mentioned that one so I’ll have to take a listen. Thanks for the suggestion!
Start with Dirty Loops then check out their side project "Songs For Lovers". You can't go wrong reacting to ANYTHING they have done
I will do that. Thanks for watching.
I think the previous comments say it all Bob, you've been hooked and now the "Loops" are reeling you in. Ha Ha. They're geniuses and it's worth noting that Jonah writes the chord progressions for most of their stuff. He admits to even critiquing his own writings and changing them constantly. Needless to say, we are the beneficiaries of that.
You like the bass and horn section? Then enjoy Turbo, by the same colab. DL+Wong
Yeah both are amazing but really everyone of the musicians is off the charts.
You are in for a treat Bob, when you heard DL for the first time you just want more:-) Please check out all their other songs!
I so plan on it. These guys are completely amazing and some of the best musicians on the planet.
Great reaction. Thank u 🙏🏻.
Please do «Follow The Light» next. 😎
My favorite 🎸🎸🔥🔥
Love from Norway 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴❤️
Thanks ! WOW I can’t believe Norway so cool! Thanks for the kind words.
@@bobcieslinski ❤️
ring of Saturn next please! and what's more impressive Aron - drummer edits their videos!!!!
Sounds good to me. Thanks I’ll try to get to it. It’s added to the list.
You really have to go back to Dirty Loops' beginnings with their covers of pop songs. Then you'll really understand how next level these guys are. Of their newer stuff, Work Shit Out will also showcase their musicianship.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great to see a horn-side appreciation of this song!
I appreciate the kind words. I’m glad you liked the different perspective.
Yep. Another one has been Loopified. You have only touched the surface with Dirty Loops. Keep digging. A great reaction by the way. keep it going.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Dirty Loops is amazing for sure!
There’s not one bad track from Dirty Loops, so you can’t go wrong here if you feel like being a permanent user of jaw-suspenders…😉 Personal favorites: Work Shit Out, Next to you, Breakdown, Circus. Would love to see some more reactions, got the goosies from this one…it’s amazing to watch you when the realisation of the badassness hits…hard!
Thanks for the kind words and the jaw suspender comment. 😂
You've GOT to try Jacob Collier's Tiny Desk (Home) Concert.
I’ve seen some of his stuff but I haven’t seen this one. I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Very nice reaction and they left you as we all already know longing for more with that ending.
Yep can’t believe it. I was ready for more.
Loved this cover/upgrade of Thriller. Dirty Loops is truly fantastic!
Yes they are.
Great reaction! Please get through the whole dirty loops stack :D
I will do my best! Thanks for the kind words.
The Horn section are The Hornheads, formerly Prince’s horn section which is why they are so tight !
I didn’t know that until someone commented. It makes total sense since his bands were j credible. Thanks for the info !
Work shit out
Follow the lighth
Jonah Nilssons solo stuff
Songs for lovers
Great reaction 🕺🏻
Add Next to you to that list.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
They released two instrumental tracks from this album on Cory Wong's channel as well, "Turbo" and "Ring of Saturn". Both are absolutely stunning. You should check them out. The horn arrangements are so good!
Thanks Lotta! I’ll check them out because Dirty Loops and Corey Wong are off thr charts!
tnx for a great reaction, and welcome to Dirty Loop World, keep on react to more DL why not Follow the light or "next to you" :)
Thanks for the suggestion and for watching! They are amazing !
Thanks a lot for your interesting reviuw!
If you are new to DL, you do have some serious stuff waiting...
(Another song together with Cory is "Turbo")
DL have done a lot of covers from Brittney S, Justin B and others. But here are some of my DL favs with short comments:
Work Shit Out = A musical statement by DL.
Next to You = When you think like "Ok, now I know this song" (you dont) Also: "Okey guys, now lets go to church waaay down in Alabama..."
Coffee Break is over = Well... keyboard flying, keyboard almost falling, keyboard as a drumsection... they go bananas.
DL also does some side projects:
Coffee Break = Jonah together with Richard Bona and an amazing
Swedish horn section.
Bitten by the Kitten = Check out those crazy frets on Henriks Mattesson base.(and some fast triplets..) There is also some vibes from I"m a Man" by The Spencer Davies Group. The awsome drum sound, like the snare, is tuned by Urban Näsvall and mixed by Simon Petre'n.
Jonah, Henrik and Aron met as students at the Music High School in Stockholm.
Looking forward to your next reaction video on DL!
Thanks for all of the great info and background. I didn’t realize they were in school together. Makes sense they seem to really work well together on stage. It’s so genuine. Thanks fir watching!
Three incredible musicians making the complex imminently listenable. Pick ANY other Dirty Loops song. They’re all mind blowing.
I love the way you describe that. You have a great way with words my friend. Thanks fir commenting and watching!
Dirty loops recently released "Follow the Light". They've been playing together since they were kids and it shows. They are incredibly tight amazingly talented musicians. I've been a fan for years and they keep getting better.
I’ll check it out. Many people have suggested it. Thanks for watching!
The best musicians in the world!!!🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪❤️💕😀👍
Hahahh good dude lets jump into the other stuff from dirty loops!! Cant wait
I hear ya I’m excited to hear another one. Do you think I should do another one for next week?
you just got a new subscriber! Great review!
Thanks I appreciate it!
You'd love Turbo - Cory Wong feat dirty loops
Thanks for suggesting it.
The Dirty Loops rabbit hole is DEEEEEEP. There's about 20+ other amazing videos you need to check out.
I’ll try to get to as many as I can. Wow they are sooo good. Thanks for watching!
Yes they are incredible and highly underrated. If you love what you’re hearing (and it’s apparent you do) try Follow the light, Next you you or Rock you.
And Work Shit Out too!
@@brewswillis9783 absolutely!
I will check it all out thanks !I do love what I am hearing!
@@bobcieslinski Work Shit Out has a sick 2 1/2 min. drum solo while Follow The Light and World On Fire each have killer bass solos! Eagerly awaiting your reacts!
Tight as band be. Quincy Jones adopted for a legit reason
I get what you are saying. It’s obvious. Thanks!
4:26 that "You're out of time" Was just mindblowing
4:42 I can assure that was everybody's reaction there
Dirty loops probably the biggest band in the world. Listen to "Next to you" and prepare your hankerchief :-)
Ok sounds good thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
your reaction is classic. I really appreciate when real musicians understand and appreciate real music laid down like this! DL has been ripping through stuff like this for a while
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. Thanks for watching! DL is the real deal.
You have to see the song titled "Turbo"
With these guys you enter another level
I will do that. Thanks !
Repeating what many already are saying, you have a lot of Dirty Loops to cover. Congratulations!
Thanks ! Yes I can’t wait to get to them.
There is no comment. Dirty Loops is a fusion redefined
This is filmed i two different locations (Dirty Loops in Sweden and Cory and the brass section in USA) and stitched together afterwords. You don't even notice :)
Nope it looked seemless. They did an incredible job. Thanks for watching !
Being a musician myself I totally enjoyed this video and I love the group Dirty Loops you have to listen to “follow the lights” and they have a few other songs that they made, but the group is just the three of them bass , drums and the keyboard player who has a fantastic voice best voice ever heard in a long time check them out please check them out serious ! love your show and I subscribed to your channel ! All the best !
Wow thanks Foster for the kind words. I’ll check out Follow the Lights for sure. What do you play?
The "Hornheads" played with Princes´ life acts since the beginning of the 90s for years...
I didn’t know this but it makes sense. Prince’s bands were some of the best musicians. He had a high bar.
You might want to hear the cory wong band "Vulfpeck" if you want to get funkier, also take a listen to Jacob Collier a master of the harmonies
Thanks for the suggestions! I will do that. Thanks for watching !
I can tell you this.... I am so completely on board this board this musical freight train. I first heard them about a month ago, and I just can't get enough of Dirty Loops! As for Aaron (drums), he has turned this 72 year old, frustrated, wood chopper into a genuine fanboy. Here is the real kicker for you... this is 2 videos, filmed on different continents, and then seamlessly edited as 1. The woodwind, horns, and Cory were filmed in Wisconsin I believe, and Dirty Loops were in Sweden. Definitely do more of Dirty Loops. I promise you won't be disappointed.
Hey Gary thanks for watching and for the info on the video. Technology is so goid these days. I would have never known. It looks like one stage. These guys are absolutely amazing !
@@bobcieslinski, Cory has a podcast, and one of the latest ones featured Henrik as his guest. They discussed how it was done, and how Cory and Aaron worked to make it happen. You're right about these guys... They are amazing. Fall into the rabbit hole like the rest of us. It's worth the trip. "Follow The Light" should be next.
After Jonah puts on his glasses he switches into Stevie Wonder mode,give it a relisten and maybe you´ll agree
Totally agree. Nice pick up. I didn’t catch it the first time. I was so into the funk which is very Stevie. Thanks!
If the horns are blowing you away here (see what I did there), you are going to pass out listening to Turbo - same lineup as this.
Dude that’s pretty funny. Nice one. I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching!
More Dirty Loops, please !
Thanks and I will try to get to another one.
As far as I know, the horn section leader used to play with people like Prince. So he's no noob in the business.
Someone else told me this too. Makes sense because they are incredible. Thanks for watching and commenting!
They're not showing off; in fact, if anything, they kind of toned it down here. Check out "Work Shit Out". Always appreciate the more knowledgable reactions!
John, exactly!!
These guys are just so talented and smooth. OMG
Would you believe this was done in 2 separate studio's. What does that tell you. Aron did the editing
Yeah someone else told me that same thing. I can’t believe it. They did a fantastic job of editing.
More Dirty Loops, please !
This is TAME compared to the usual Dirty Loops fare. Awaiting your reactions to more
They will be coming. These guys are fantastic.
Love to see more of Joe Satriani reacting to this.....
Lol thanks!
DL are so good I weep
Listen to Work shit out or Next to you with Dirty Loops
Thanks for the suggestions!
Loved your reaction. Hearing this from a horn players perspective gave me some great new insights, your joyful energy was also a treat. Just a little FYI all the horns and the guitarist (Wong) on left side of video actually played their parts in Minneapolis while Dirty Loops on the right recorded in Sweden making-to me at least-their tightness and communications almost magical. I believe the background was a green screen as the lights were originally used by Dirty Loops in their "Rock You" video. You are safe reacting to any and all Loops songs as there simply are no bad ones...seriously. Even their merch video is a blast. Great job. Thanks.
No green screen. They actually set up the Minneapolis studio to match the one in Stockholm. Cory talks a bit about how he and Aron worked out all the details in the beginning of his podcast episode (Wong Notes) where he has Henrik Linder as guest. Really interesting episode. You can see how Henrik's shadow is cut off, where the videos are stitched together in the middle. Another fun fact is that Aron is the one who does basically all the video editing for DL.
Interesting info thanks!
Hey thanks so much for the kind words. It means so much to me. Thanks for all of the info you are sharing here too. I had no idea until I read this. It makes the video even better.
@@lottawiklund8606 Great info. I have to say every Loops reaction I watch-if I leave a comment-you've generally already left one. They tend to be well researched, fun facts and new info-this response being a prime example. Thanks, and I'll probably see you in the next Loops reaction comments.
@@robote7679 I find it really interesting to read about how other musicians work and their creative processes, and as these guys tend to think far outside the box in every way, reading about their work is extra fascinating. Also, I haven’t been able to play as much the last two years, due to both illness and this stupid pandemic, so I’ve had a lot of time on my hands. 😂
First half pays homage to MJ. End pays homage to Stevie Wonder! The whole song’s kinda done with a Stevie vibe really. :)
Dirty Loops - Work Shit Out .. that’s where I started, a frackin’ wild ride .. showcases singer/keyboard and drummer
Dirty Loops and Cory Wong - Follow the Light .. released a week before Thriller, just masterful! Showcases bassist. :)
Thanks for sharing your first experience witnessing this band and your insights with us! I hadn’t previously pondered things from the horns perspective, it was fresh. 🙃
You are so right. The music definitely turned alittle more funky like Stevie. Very observant on your part. Thanks for that! Also thanks for watching and your suggestion!
It's as much a tribute to the composing of Quincy Jones as it is Michael Jackson...!
the horn section is led by the trombone player Michael Nelson...he toured with Prince and wrote his horn arrangements. The horn section comes with Cory Wong - guitar player. May I suggest, to hear more of this horn section listen to Cory Wong and the Wongnotes.
This is an engineering feat of amazement! DL is in Sweden and Cory and horns are recording in US! Follow WONG! Fearless Flyers and Delta Force and Vulfpeck as well as Wong’s band Cory and the Wong Notes! Thanks!
I will check it out thanks and there have been a few people tell me about how they recorded this and that blows your mind hearing it. It looked like they were all in the same place.
You have to do "work shit out" next..
A lot of people are requesting that one. It’s at the top of the list. Thanks for watching!
Yes, please react to some more Dirty Loops stuff. Maybe start at the start, with Hit me, and then Baby, Coffee break is over, some of Aron's and Henrik's stuff (Old Armando had a farm), then amazing things like Next to you and Work shit out, and end with Turbo and Follow the light, then Work shit out once more. Well, like Cliff Dickson indicates, you can't really go wrong with Dirty Loops, and it's always a new experience!
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I’ve got to listen and react to more for sure. So worth the time because they are amazing.
I love the new time signature! It has such motion and excitement. Also brass ftw 💕
Highly recommended cory wongs TH-cam channel where he breaks down songs he has made, it's very interesting and entertaining
That sounds great I will do that. I find that stuff interesting. Thanks!
Always check the credits at the end. Often filled with funnies. Keep posting Mr Bob.
Thanks for the kind words and I will check out the credits.
Check out TURBO...
I will do that. Thanks!
Turbo is definitely a must check out along the Follow the Light.
I will check those out. Thanks!
You’ve gotta check out Cory Wong’s Paisley Park session with his band. He’s the rhythm guitarist and that’s actually his horn section, the Hornheads. They are absolutely KILLIN!!
Thanks Lee!
Good luck.. with Dirty loops you are in for a treat! Just pick any other one
I’m getting that feeling. So many Dirty Loop fans asking for more songs from them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
the inclusion of the flute at 10:23 makes me think of star wars tbh
Man that's crazy!! These guys are off the chain... Like a pitbull 😂. Excellent musicianship & vocals .
You said it Larry. They are some of the best musicians I’ve heard.
More music like that..Snarky Puppy of course (Lingus for example), Jacob Collier (All but maybe Make me Cry, Mahogany Sessions), Louis Cole with WDR, Hiromi (Move), JD Beck and Domi (Sniff, Nord Sessions) . Thx for your reaction, very deep. YB from France.
Thanks for all of the great suggestions. Also thanks for the kind words.
@@bobcieslinski Live shows are not as polished, sharp produced but equally jaw-dropping. This show from Cory Wong is just as tight, fun and awesome: th-cam.com/video/C5XPSwZefs4/w-d-xo.html Some other jaw-dropping virtuoso trios/bands: Hiromi th-cam.com/video/EFeouD2IWSA/w-d-xo.html - The Aristocrats th-cam.com/video/n6tvASVy5pk/w-d-xo.html - Liquid Tension th-cam.com/video/zM1ivFCVnOc/w-d-xo.html always taking things too far.
I just discovered Dirty Loops today and I have no other word but "shockingly good"... truly, pure shock'n'awe...
Yeah they are incredible.
And by now you've probably heard, this is a digital video combo. Dirty Loops did their bit in Stockholm, Cory Wong and the Wongnotes in the States. They actually never met (til later with Cory) and they've never played live together or seen each other. You can hear a taste of Quincy Jones whose management group is associated with the bands.
Yeah what an incredible thing they did here. Just mind blowing from the putting it together to obviously the playing.
"Funkified" 😊 Michael Jackson meets Stevie Wonder, and then Dirty Loops was born 😊
Oh yeah for sure.
You paid homage to the instrumental brass licks! They are amazing! I was a semi-pro trumpet player back in the day. At my absolute BEST I wouldn't belong in the same room with these guys! This is some of the best brass work I've ever seen/heard! Great reaction!
Thanks for the comments and super cool you were a trumpet player. My daughter was a trumpet player. I totally get it. When I hear people like this I’m like well I better go practice more.
Bob, what I have to say may have been said in the many other comments, but I missed this reaction video until today. 1) The "'TH-cam" friends" are Cory Wong & some of the New York horn players who sometimes work with him,. 2) It was actually Cory Wong who initiated the doing of the "Turbo" album that this is from. #3) Cory Wong and Dirty Loos have never met. 4) The "Turbo" album was recorded with Cory Wong and the horns in or around New York City, USA; Dirty Loops in or around Stockholm, Sweden; and the engineer/producer in or around Seoul, South Korea.---The Wonders of Modern Technology...
Hi Michael! Thanks for the info and yes a few people mentioned it. Technology is amazing. Lucky for us we live in this time.
Love it! The brass section is called the “Wong Notes”. Especially, the double bell euphonium - sooo cool!
Cool, thanks!
D L are amazing you need to see "Work shit out" and "SONGS FOR LOVERS COFFEE BREAK IS OVER" they made so much great stuff. also watch Dimash "SOS" best singer/performer on the planet. 👍
Thanks for all the suggestions!
The vocalist has the sound of Michael Jackson, but his phrasing and style here is very much Stevie Wonder. The darker part that happens is very Bond-esque, and after that with the key change, the whole thing becomes a Stevie Wonder song. I am reminded very much of an early Level 42, before they got commercial. Basically, everything up to and including Love Games. Particularly the track Mr Pink.
Great comments and observations here Michael. I would agree it’s more Stevie for sure. I remember Level 42. Great band.
If Stevie Wonder did "Thriller" with the tightest rythym section ever known to man... And what are we - in 12/8 time? That's crazy, yet typical Dirty Loops.
You said it Ranger.
You don't get signed by David Foster if you can't play!
Also, as for shirts, Cory often wears a white striped shirt, much like his idol, Pat Metheny used to years ago so often, who he wanted to become like in music school until a music teacher told him that we already have a Pat Metheny, and that Cory should become what HE can be.
Michael Nelson, playing the slide trombone in the video arranged the horns for that mid-song "surprise" and is a FIRST CALL horn arranger who does the majority of arrangements for Cory. Top notch stuff. None other than Dave Koz praised his arrangements when they (Cory/Dave) collaborated...
If you want to dip into NEW GUITARIST territory, check out Matteo Mancuso, none other than legend Al DiMeola has lauded him. The kid is something new for sure. Here he evokes Lee Ritenour on a cover of "Footprints" by Wayne Shorter, then Alan Holdsworth himself on Alan's tune "Fred", and then for his finale, an original by Matteo.
th-cam.com/video/HrOfLmQgROc/w-d-xo.html
Also, you'll surely enjoy a just released 2nd take on "Home" a collaboration between Cory Wong and great pianist Jon Batiste.
th-cam.com/video/LjVbmAbX69s/w-d-xo.html
Wow dude you mentioned some big time names there. I’m a Metheny and Ritenour fan. I’m going to have to listen to more of Cory’s stuff until this video is never heard of him. I love hearing new musicians. Thanks !
This has been my favorite new band since I first saw them do "Circus" back around 2014. Amazing artists individually, but as a unit they are super human. The great thing about them to me (besides everything), is that they can do these remarkable arrangements with tons of outside influences, but the hooks and the vocals make them accessible to non-musicians. Just incredible, and I need to see them live! 🙂
Man I would love to see them live. I hope they come to the us. Three of the baddest dudes in thr planet.
The first time I ever heard from them was, "Rock You". I was hooked from that point on. As a bassist, I was really impressed by Henrick's mastery of the instrument! Keep posting!
Oh man Henrik is a beast. He’s one of thr best and I wish I could play 10% of what he can do.
G'day mate! Just love your reactions when it comes 2 Dirty Loops. Keep them coming! One thing though, as a Swede, do not call the bass player Heynrich. His name is Henrik. Just the same as in English; hen as the poultry and rick as in Rick. K eep up the excellent work. Michael, Gothenburg/Sweden
Thanks for the kind words and helping me figure out how to say his name. I think because if you I have it now. Thanks!
That's how they became famous. They took hits and "Dirty Looped" them. Now, you have Quincy jones at the helm and he knows what to do with them. David Foster was way out of his lane when they came out, but they took 2 years off, disbanded and got resigned with Quincy Jones and they are about to go "fool". I met this guys in Dallas, TX at the Kessler and they were the nicest to me and my daughters. Quincy was known for his horn sections, and you can hear it. I met them in 2014. Incredible concert and Hinrich and Jonas spent extra time with my 7 year old.
Wow Alphie that is so cool you got to see them and meet them. They do seem like the nicest dudes. So humble and yet some of thr baddest music Ian’s on the planet.
I am a Tejano musician , my groups name is Los Fabulosos 4 and my son, also a musician , turned me on to Dirty Loops about 2 or 3 years ago and when I heard their musician ship, their timing, their arrangements, their different moods in a single song, Man ! These guys are Never Boring. I Love everything they put out and I’m glad to hear someone like you, also acknowledge their creativity ! God Bless
Thanks Armando! These guys sure are beasts. Truly incredible musicians.
I want to hear your non-high school reaction.
Dirty Loops = FILTHY
Are you familiar with Huntertones? The trumpet player in this video is from that group (and also plays sousaphone).
Yes for sure. No I wasn’t familiar with him before I saw the video.
The ONE reason I love watching reaction videos, and your reaction fits right in, is because, reactions give me the comfort of knowing that I'm not an one-off-random-music-lover and camp-side, coffee shop level guitar player, that's going absolutely bonkers seeing the level at which these true Masters perform!
Thanks for the comment Mohit! They blow my mind every time I listen to them.
to Player a great Song properly is good. To make a great song your own and bring it with your special arrangement to a higher Level is really making music. Dirty loops are three music maniacs, wo love what they do and share their joy and creative energy with us. Your own Songs are great stuff! Thanks guys for this gift. Michael Jackson would have felt honored. What will you do next
Thanks for thr great comment Christian!
