Fifty six years playing guitar, a professional musician/artist for fifty four years, I can say with authority that I’ve seen it all! I personally know and traveled with a couple of Rock Superstars, and know a few great Jazz musicians too, my point is that I know musicianship and artistry pretty well. I discovered this great band, The REO Brothers here on UA-cam, and I was immediately amazed by what they do and how they do it. I’ve seen many of their videos, in their studio to live concerts from when they were young to now, and the magic of their music was there right from the start. This musicians are great! Let me tell you why: The songs that they cover, were done by the greatest Artists and song writers of my generation, and they were recorded by some of the greatest musicians and producers of that time, see (The Wrecking Crew and others) and this band can replicate the sound and vibe and mind you! the little musical motifs of every song/hit that they play with incredible accuracy, tone and rhythm while doing it live and with PASSION! This day began for me with The Sounds Of Silence done by them. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🎼🎶🎵🎸🎸🎸🥁🎹🎤🎤🎤🎤🎵🎶🎼
Well said, sir!! I agree with you 💯! It is apparent that the REO Brothers practice all the time--a sign of a great band that is always in sync with one another.
Very Well said👍🏽👌🏽 Thank you for pointing those important things why REO brothers should be discovered- really hope their hard labor will one day be rewarded👌🏽 I mean earning more recognition and money. They really deserve it!
Having lived in the Philippines for nine years and having lots and lots of Filipino friends, I can only say this: Nobody is better at imitating others than Filipinos! That is said with admiration. Filipinos take great pride in their ability to copy others down to the most minute detail. Well done.
In all these years I have never seen a cover band capture the spirit of the original songs as much as the Reo Brothers, in so many different styles. It is amazing and something difficult to happen again, even more so that it happens in an uncut recording.
I’d like to thank God for we are all still breathing to witness the beautiful music these brothers are giving us in this difficult time . Thank You Lord. please keep REO Brothers’ family from all harm and danger and keep all families around the world safe from all viruses, in Jesus name , Amen.
I enjoy reading the comments almost as much as listening to the songs themselves. Thank you guys for the good vibes in such a difficult time to be alive.
What makes their covers special is not only the fact that they sound just like the original but because they can barely speak English. So much talent between them.
This is pretty much a one- man band since they're all blood related that's why everything, every song they do is pure magic. I like to think they are gifts from God. I am in awe of these young boys. My deep respect and honor to their parents. 🙏 Greetings from Israel. 🇮🇱
Last week - Mrs. Robinson This week - The Sound Of Silence This is the best version of a full band covering the songs of Simon and Garfunkel God bless to the Reo Brothers
When I hear this it takes me back as a kid in the 60's. Even though I'm an aging senior citizen now, I will never regret getting older since I lived during the greatest generation of music.
I am a 26 year-old woman who first heared this song from the 3D film Trolls 😅 Never heard the original version but this cover is too good enough for me to feel and appreciate the song more ❤
Bloody hell, these guys can play anything, and do it brilliantly. I hope they enjoy playing all these different songs as much as we enjoy listening to them.
How in the World can you give a thumbs down to this....the fact that they exist and are doing what they do for music should preclude that, even if the performance wasnt great...which it is.....in this sick world of mostly very useless music...we aslo have people that get a thrill out of being negative on you tube...I guess it is a large portion of their lives
filipbong Sometimes I find it heartbreaking to look at their early videos. You can see the poverty they had been through from their emaciated faces and frail-looking bodies.
I’ve been a musician since the 60’s and can’t stop listening to REO Bros. I listened to great bands with a hand held transistor radio. They all would love these carrying this music into the future. God bless you guys.
Have had this on continuous loop from the first time I heard it two hours ago. They are unbelievably awesome...and OMG, that drummer! Perfection all the way!
when i first listened to this cover after someone told me about REO brothers, i was like " Oh they were singing lypynched".. but then, i listened carefully. it was NOT.. and that's how i started loving you guys.. Keep it up.. you make us so proud of you.. MAUPAY GUID..
WOW! I can't find the right words to describe this...It's pure TALENT. I grew up with these music from the 60's 70, etc. and kayung magkakapatid just nail it all the time...wow...wow...Salamat, Salamat for the shear pleasure of listening you all. Please continue sharing with us yung music talent ninyo. 😁😉👍😎😊😍...American-Pinoy dito sa West Coast of the USA.
I only need to hear the first 3 seconds before smashing the like button. 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 As always AMAZING!!!!! WOW, HOW CAN I GET A WHOLE DISC WITH ALL YOUR MUSIC???
Every time I think you can’t possibly top your last cover...you do. You just nailed this big time. You guys amaze this 67 year old rocker. I bow to you.
You-guys have Got to be the most versatile band out there. You-guys nail every song no matter Who it's by! I was an extremely versatile singer from the time I was born...Literally(child prodigy)
It’s a different level of musicianship when you can play and sing at the same time without looking at your instruments. How can one family have so much talent?
@@gillehrer2824 i read, write, and play, sing as well and play by ear. the goal is to recreate the music. and they have mastered and nailed it. thats the goal of musicianship..
gil lehrer I don’t think they can read music sheets because none of them were formally trained in Music due to their economic status. RJ (the lead guitar player) taught himself to play the drums, guitar and keyboards some 10 years ago. He then passed those along to his siblings. They learn these songs, I think mostly by ‘ear’. In the Philippines, where they’re from it is called “uwido”. If you can play by ear, you can play anything. In other words, they are ‘fiddlers’ as opposed to trained violinists. Going back to your question, yes I think IMHO they can.
Hello. I'm from Brazil and I follow your work. With each performance, I am more and more impressed with the musical quality of the brothers. Congratulations and God bless you all!!!
I've watched a lot of these guys videos and I have to say there isn't one weak link. Instrumentally they're all phenomenally talented in their own right, as a band they're tight af, and vocally their harmonies are close to perfect.
Man this cover is almost identical to the original version, kudos Reo brothers for nailing all the Classic songs! Keep entertaining us while we’re under home quartantine👏👍🤙🔥😊
You’re all so amazing . Voice are immaculate. And I’m so happy more more happy , that u had 5.th member , well of course ; he’s your brother too , Love you guys .
You guys should open a patreon account. Those of us can contribute. Truly grateful you are doing this and making a lot of people happy with your musical talents.
very beautiful cover, and so prophetic for the times that we are in, and the times that lay ahead of of us. Let those with eyes see, let those with ears hear.
Oh my GOD, when you sung the song YOUR MAN, I can’t believed what I’ve heard . Oh my GOD. Unbelievable voice . Love you 😍 love u guys. More blessing . 😊💖🙏
This is my first post for the REO brothers. I want to commend all of you for the talent you have and sharing it with us. Keep up the excellent songs. Thank you.
I just don't understand how a band can assimilate so many different genres of music - and still do them all so well done? So much talent - thank you!

Thank you for your appreciation for the REO Brothers

This is the best version of a full band covering the songs of Simon and Garfunkel
God bless to the Reo Brothers
Try also to listen sir yang sa DISTURBED Sound of Silence version nila..astig din ..
Try puddles pity party
These kids are gifted and can master any song, very impressed!
Would like but it has 69 likes
Sound of silence my favorite Bee Geez
Cntinue young men ! Excellent !! Instead of engaging in drugs use it to entertain n to remember d amazing bee gees
Only in the Philippines hehe
They ain't no kids.
when the drum and acoustic guitar started my tears rolls down i wasn’t even emotional when I clicked the vid. wth. it was so beautiful.
When I hear this it takes me back as a kid in the 60's. Even though I'm an aging senior citizen now, I will never regret getting older since I lived during the greatest generation of music.
I wish i was born in you generation sir.
When they start singing the intro..... I paused it and said to my self, “What the hell. This cant be true, man.”
Same
Yes,a true man,not a ghoist
Hahahhaa skills bro
Amazing talented kids, come to OZ
Exactly my initial reaction - shaking my head in disbelief. Every single time.
I am a 26 year-old woman who first heared this song from the 3D film Trolls 😅 Never heard the original version but this cover is too good enough for me to feel and appreciate the song more ❤
Go listen to the original version right now
Bloody hell, these guys can play anything, and do it brilliantly. I hope they enjoy playing all these different songs as much as we enjoy listening to them.
You can tell if the cover is legit by just listening to the first few lines/notes. Heck yeah Golden buzzer for me! And the harmony!! My Goodness!!!
I bet Simon & Garfunkel will have their jaws dropped upon listening to this cover
They should do a collab video with Paul Simon! He has a channel!
I bet the original artists are humbled that there are those out there who think so highly of their music. It means a new generation is plugging in.
Can they even appreciate classic songs?
The Bar was Raised High with this Iconic Song! You Nailed It!!! Congrats!!
These guys are unbelievable, from Beatles to Bee Gees now to Simon and Garfunkel.......how the heck can you do that??
Its pure talent, passion and dedication to music!!
REO Brothers also cover the Beach Boys, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, America, etc.
How in the World can you give a thumbs down to this....the fact that they exist and are doing what they do for music should preclude that, even if the performance wasnt great...which it is.....in this sick world of mostly very useless music...we aslo have people that get a thrill out of being negative on you tube...I guess it is a large portion of their lives
sadly, what you said about the negative people is really true
No other band can do what they arr doing. We're lucky to have them
Impecabble 3d voice!
why are the Filipinos so talented? I'm so jealous. 😘👍
I'm from Vietnam; Love your group of brothers!
CONGRATULATIONS GUYS FOR OVER ONE MILLION VIEWS! ..WOOHOO! RBF! ..REO BROTHERS FOREVER!
If you knew the brothers' story/background, you'd be in awe of them even more. They will always have my deepest respect and admiration.
You are right. I watched almost all their videos and some ones posted from others channels.
Where can I read their stories? Any link?
@@dawrkawn Just google REO Brothers. Here's one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reo_Brothers

Shepherd Boy may their story serve as inspiration to all who experience hardships in life 👍👍
They are reo bros... The universal band...
Can’t these lads do ANYTHING less than stellar???
Ohhhh! It’s hard to believe that REO brothers dig it! Such a genius band! Respect! From Malaysia ✌🏼
I’ve been a musician since the 60’s and can’t stop listening to REO Bros. I listened to great bands with a hand held transistor radio. They all would love these carrying this music into the future. God bless you guys.
It’s damn near perfect. I can’t tell which of the singers voices is cracking but it’s absolutely beautiful.
My guess is it’s Reno the drummer. He has such a versatile voice.
They nail so many nuances...
These Reo Brothers are the sensation of the 21st century. Virtually they can play any music of our time in such accuracy and amazement.
This is too much magic on one single song I can't believe it.. I absolutely buy a ticket to see this guys for sure
Wish come true, lucky you,, they will do a US tour in July,, get ready to rock n roll with them.
Oh my word. Every song of theirs is just amazing.
Good job reo brothers.....more power
The entrance of the bass and drums at 0:39 was just gorgeous. The whole performance was exquisite, elegant and magical!
Chills.
Yep
@@Retired-Don looy
Couldn't bring myself to listen to this..but they did me proud!

Their youth adds an element of innocence and hope to this beautiful song. Very well done.
Unbelievable!
This is perhaps the best cover of this song I have ever heard. In fact, all of their covers are great. Absolutely, amazing.
I can’t get enough of these guys! Best cover band ever....I’m over 60 and a musician for a very long time and they never cease to amaze me.
The song is a Masterpiece,when you'll listen to it with eyes close, and you see different colors.
I'm so loving this. Please keep singing good music kiddos.
Excellent excellent excellent
The best band to listen to while reminiscing the old days...thank you young guys for the memories..

Almost like listening to two pairs of Simon & Garfunkel. Amazing.
Absolutely raw talent....so unreal listening to this. Thank you for your music.
It’s a different level of musicianship when you can play and sing at the same time without looking at your instruments. How can one family have so much talent?
Yep. That bassist is really good. All muscle memory.
Yeah, however can they read an sheet-music and play an unknown, never- played- before song ? If they can, they're TRUE musicians!
Yeah most definitely agree.
Thank you Reo parents for making
Reo kids....phenomenal people making phenomenal music
You raise your children up right.
