'I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet ... but your kids are gonna love it.' Back to the Future.
🤣
Exactly! Inside joke...lol!
😂😂😂right on
Back to the future
well said😂💃💃☘️☘️
Lol their kids are being scolded for loving it right there!
That is literally what I think of every single time I see this music video 😂
The fact that the guy played the cello on his back just like Angus would play his guitar during a concert is the best.
What Angus didn't steal that from Marty McFly?
Cello player here. The bow hair fraying like that is something that happens, but not generally that much that quickly. I suspect they had bows prepared to get that effect. Probably had just been rehaired, and maybe it was done intentionally a bit loose so the hair would pull out easier. Something like that anyway. I can say I would not perform like that using a bow that I liked, lol. They were smacking them around hard enough I'd be afraid it would break. Although there are composite materials used for bows these days that are a lot stronger and more flexible than plain wood.
These guys are legit though, very good musicians. I really wish back in the 80's when I was in college orchestra by day, and listening to rock and metal by night, that I had come up with this idea. Pure genius IMO.
My guess is that they use old bows, that might already have some lose bow hairs or they cut some of them in half, for the videos.
I saw them live more than once and you can see how bow shredds thru songs. They play aggressively, but when they play classical music bows dont shredd, at least not fast as they shredd when they play modern music. I was at 6 different live performances in 3 different countries, they start with whole bow, by the end of third song bow is dead literally...
So not bad ass Sellists (I know Cellists) but actors giving us pleasure, damn them! Let them eat cake!
One thing I love is that in the audience, the kids are really getting into it and enjoying the music, and the adults are admonishing them.
Best Straightmen ever!
I believe the phrase you were looking for is "they are shredding their bows."
I kept thinking 'rosin up the bow' I think from devil went down to georgia...
rosin I think is like a honey, a damn lube, damn it I don't know what it's made of anti-devil shit!
The "Strings" that are breaking is actually horse hair. The use of horsehair on bows dates back centuries; its unique properties have yet to be replicated by any man-made alternative.
Horse hair is definitely unique!
the horse hair for the bows is incredibly expensive. It can't be fixed once broken but has to be exchanged.
What I really like in this video, other than the performance, is the reactions of the audience. The adults are in various states of disbelief, disgust, and horror, while the kids are rocking out.
Two dudes from Croatia
Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷🇭🇷🔥🔥
Ho dude, I am no longer Nato, I am now your friend!
No reactors ever notice the few kids in audience, bored at first, then they begin to get totally into it as their parents try to calm them. Like the girl almost directly center scene when they show the audience.
Totally wish folks would notice that...very much the 50s vibe of parents poo-pooing the rock and roll wave that the kids were getting into...which has continued through each evolution of the genre.
@@JamesBrown-wo2qj Well... kind of. Yes, historically it has been the "norm" for parents to think that the music their kids listen to is just noise, because it's generally been louder and faster than they were used to. However, I have found myself in the odd situation (and I think I'm probably in the first generation to experience this) that I find much of the stuff my son listens to incredibly _boring._ I recall a situation a few years ago where he and I were cooking in the kitchen, and he put one of his playlists on the speakers we have in there. After about 15 minutes I asked him "How _long_ is this song?" and he told me this was the third song on the list. I genuinely had not noticed the tracks changing, because they all sounded exactly alike. Monotone, minimalistic, _boring._
I suppose it's in part because we have actually reached a point where music can't really get any harder and wilder without actually devolving into mere noise, so it is diversifying in other directions. Of course it has always diversified in many directions at once, but the drive to push the boundaries for how hard, fast and loud it can go has probably diminished somewhat over the past 20 years.
When the song is over and everyone is in total awe
Hence they were "Thunder Struck"
Note to Phil...Sam ALWAYS looks classy! 😏 lol
Their fingering is amazing considering how heavy cellp strings are.
I would be so pleased if AC/DC invited 2Cellos to go on tour with them some time!
I absolutely love this version by them!!
Holy crap! Rarely do you see something this off the charts, this amazing, this unique. Wow! Just wow!
These guys are actually classically trained. They used to compete in European orchestral events.
2Cellos “The Trooper” (Iron Maiden cover), also amazing! Thank you! 🤘
My personal favorite
The best cover of this song is by the Danish bluegrass band Steve 'N' Seagulls. It is a great song to react to.
I think you find they are from Finland. But yes I agree, there version is off the charts good
Finnish, but great, yes.
My favorite two cellos performance is "the trooper overture".
I'm so glad that people are rediscovering some of these older videos, 2Cellos have been on a lot of people's reaction lists recently, and they definitely deserve the attention.
The ending is an homage to Michael J Fox playing guitar in back to the Future!
And also to Angus Young because Angus used to do that all the time
Angus used to do it before the movie even came out
Another fun one to watch is 2 Cellos with Stevie Vai playing AC/DC Highway to Hell.
Awesome vid!
Seeing Steve Vai playing with them is awesome!! Once again a fantastic vid, Seeing someone like Steve at a signing and getting half stood up by the boys at the beginning was so cool. If you want to explore Steve Vai, I suggest the album "Sex and Religion" as a good start point. Or if you just like the instrumental, Marty Friedman's "Scenes" or "Dragon's kiss" (Scenes is mellow, Dragon's kiss is very much more metal)
Of course, you could always go surfing with the alien with Joe Satriani!!
Thanks for the response. I know Stevie and Satch quite well already, and I agree with your choices. It seems only watchers respond to my suggestions, never the response folks.....@@sutekh233
Love 2 cellos. These guys are insanely good
This was the 1st video that introduced me to 2Cellos. Since then I have watched several others as well as some of their solo work. They really are very talented.
Down the 'Thunderstruck' path is the group "Steve 'N Seagulls" version. Worth a watch.
I seen 2cellos open for Steve Via in Los Angeles! I have to say, they were amazing!
They are just as crazy live, just the two of them and a drummer, had the chance to see them in concert, and it was EPIC. They were fairly heavy on the AC/DC songs, but it was in Perth (Australia), the home of Bonn Scott.
Finally!!! A physical representation of my brain at 3:00 in the morning... wow!!! ❤
Absolutely brilliant, these two guys are incredible.
Hello from Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦,, they have a whole concert, just type in 2 cellos full concert, your in for a treat,😊
In a hundred years, this will be still a classic....
These guys are so amazing!! I love how they start this video!!😂😂😂. So awesome! These guys have crazy talent!!😂🔥🔥🔥
Glad you did this one !!❤❤
First time I saw this was years and years ago and there wasn't any title to it or anything, just the video on its own.
So we had absolutely no idea they were gonna break into Thunderstruck AT ALL..... and they they broke out into it, it blew my mind completely...... was left awe struck by how cool the video was.
This will go down as an all-time classic. :)
Their live performances are even better...
They've covered a few more from AC/DC. They did tour for a while, and I was lucky enough to see them twice. When they toured they did have a backing band, which just added that much more.
👍 AMAZING 💕🤗. Have a Blessed Day 🦋
I discovered Hauser (the cellist in gold) during the Pandemic. A lot of his single work appeared on my Facebook feed. He is really good.
Loving the reaction! 2CELLOS is a lot of fun to react to. I recommend Hysteria and They Don't Care About Us. Those are 2 of my top 3, along with Live and Let Die(feat. Lang Lang)!
One word comment gets it. TALENT!!!
This is one of their best. I would think that was an expensive rock video to shoot with all the attire of the "audience." LOL
Great reaction guys.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The guy on the left is doing a pretty good imitation of the Angus Young head bob.
I loved this when I heard it for the first time. It reminded me of the group, Apocalyptica. A Finnish band I believe that do Rock music with Cellos and Violins. Great Post.
The cello can be set up as a C clef instrument. Not a lot of musical instruments can live in the middle clef-- but one of them happens to be the human voice.
The cello can be played in the same key as a vocalist, which is one reason this instrument works so well in rock interpretations.
Love that one.
There’s also a guy on UA-cam that’s does a cover in bagpipes. So awesome
The audience was… Thunderstruck. I enjoyed it immensely.
you should se the live from 2 cellos 🥰 it´s awsome
Great reaction! This has been on my daily Spotify playlist for years. I'm sure they loop and layer, as most artists do. They are talented af ❤❤❤❤
Croatian national treasure🇭🇷🇭🇷
One thing I've learned quickly about the two cellos guys is they can make a Cello SCREAM in the best way possible.
You finally found 2 cellos. These guys sound great.
They went on tour with Elton John. Elton said "The energy of these two is incredible, they breathed life back into me and my band."
I think the intended look they were going for with the audience at the end was the audience was feeling "Thunderstruck"
Next up, 2Cellos with Emil and Dariel. You won't be sorry.
Emil and Dariel were taught classically by their grandfather. Went on America's Got Talent in 2014.
Steven Seagulls version is great too. You should also check out 2 Cellos doing a Steve Vai song. Steve appears in the video also, it's great!
You should definitely see some of their live stuff . they got themselves a crazy drummer , and some outrageous electric cellos . They are brilliant live .
2Cellos is incredible. Check out Shape of My Heart sometime (and Sting's original if you haven't already).
"The Trooper Overture" official video will amaze you.
Can you imagine the calluses they have on their fingertips? I kept waiting for the blood to fly. Lol
Yes sir she is and yes it does :)) as for the strings yes what they are doing is a sign of great masters at work playing their hearts out and they are doing their best. Charlie Daniels was known for doing this all the time to on his fiddle too :)
These guys rock
The person in the light coloured costume is stjefan hauser he is amazing he has quite a few videos on you tube , my favourite is River flows through me..
i remember when i first heard this it blew my mind how someone can play an instrument like that, now you need to see there highway to hell video feat steve vai
one of the many artists that did not win on America's Got Talent but went on to do good such as Angelina Jordan(though she won Norway's Got Talent at the age of 8) and Lindsey Stirling ( violinist/dancer). There are many singers that appeared on talent shows , on Star Search Justin Timberlake , Usher and Beyonce none won their season . On American Idol Adam Lambert and Jennifer Hudson lost but went on to do very well.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
If strings on the bow break, they break. They are, of course, playing very aggressively. Notice the young girl in the audience loves it.
The do this live, with loop-pedals, in arena-gigs!😊
You need to check out Apocalyptica. Their debut album is called 'Plays Metallica by 4 Cellos' and it's amazing!
It's to bad that they are not together anymore have both gone solo you should listen to With or Without You just amazing I have watched a couple of their concerts just amazing
Another example of someone playing a tune on an instrument that was never intended for it is slash playing the godfather theme on an electric bass guitar.
He used to do it regularly at concerts so it’s not hard to find the video.
The best part of this reaction was your faces as the song progressed. I love your reactions guys.
They are so good!
Would love to see you react to their version of Iron Maiden's - The Trooper.
Absolutely loved that 😊
For your next bit of someone playing an instrument in a way it was never intended, check out Leo P. As a life-long saxophone player and musician, the guy is a huge inspiration to try new ways of playing.
He's been in the groups 2Saxxy, Too Many Zooz, Lucky Chops and has a ton of stuff out under his own name too.
One of my favorite Classical group is the 2Cellos. I discovered this duet in 2016 and I have been a fan ever since. I have 3 albums. All the albums are EXCELLENT!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉This song was their first classical hit from their first album which is all acoustic...no overlays of tracks just these two amazing musicians. They are the latest classical artists in Classical music genre. The other latest artists is Black Violin a duet of two African American violinists playing classical music with Hip Hop/Rap and R & B. 🎉🎉🎉
It's cool how they used classical instrumentation with rock songs. Another duo to check out is Golden Salt (violin and guitar). Recommend their covers of Iron Maiden Fear of the Dark, Metallica Nothing Else Matters and Star Wars Melody.
Awesome! "Trooper" next, maybe? You won't be disappointed.
Their official video is hilarious.
I think they need to be introduced to Iron Maiden’s Trooper first. They might not know the song if they heard 2cellos version first
I'm pretty sure they are familiar with it. I could be wrong but I seem to remember them talking about it once. Thanks for the reply. @@MP-od1zz
Look at the kids in the crowd! This have played live with addad base, but doable.
They use to play with Elton John before they made it big. You can youtube Elton John speaking about them my partner and I went to see them play in Sydney last year! Totally awesome!!!
This was dynamite. These guys are fantastic cello players. Great Vid.
String instruments, specifically the Cello and the Violin, are some of the hardest to master. They dont have specific “sections” or “frets” to differentiate highs and lows of notes. It’s all muscle memory, and impossible to visualize without training.
I would love to be good at the Cello and Chess. Two things that take a lifetime to master.
That was fun thanks and bows do fray over time.
If you like this type of video, I would suggest an artist by the name of Lucia Miccarelli. (Pronounced "Loosha")
She's a violinist who likes to incorporate classic rock into her traditional orchestra sound. Check her live version of "Bohemian Rhapsody". It's fire. 🎻🔥
Great reaction. You should react to them doing
Survivors" eye of the tiger"
Or U2s "with or without you"
Great covers aren't covers, they are new creations made with love and appreciation for the originals.
Their cover of Clocks from Australia is EPIC!❤
Those are horse hair bows and very expensive and they are very durable but you see how he’s rockin!
Cool! The horse hooves sounds in the very beginning was a great detail. Haaa the kids (young girl) in the audience digging it but not the adults!! Croatia?? I understand! I have a friend from there and he is " HIGH STRUNG" 😉 as well!!! Awesome Video!! Thanks Bars!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
The young lady in the red dress was a perfect reaction 😂
This is the Rococo period, around 1750 (not the Tudors, they lived 200 years earlier).
Its fun to pay close attention to the kids in the audience. Getting silently chided for enjoying it.
Look at the state of the bow of the guy on the right!!!
Check out the Live version! That's the way they play it! 🤣
A friend of mine says that's Angus in the front row
Yes her hair looks amazing and so does her smile. So do you bro
The bows use horsehair and designed to fray under hard use.
I love Cello music! Many cat-gut strings were sacrificed during this video. Peace, Love!!
The strings are fine. It's the bow shreading you are seeing.
9:01 they’ve been
*THUNDERSTRUCK*
They do a great cover of AC/DC Highway to Hell featuring Stevie Vie. They play electric cellos in the video.
Classical music is mostly the hard rock of that time period
