I really learned a lot of amazing stuff from this video. Most of all, before watching this, I had never noticed the thematic similarity between "Mozart's 4th" and the opening of the first movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. An incredible revelation...
I put cowbell in the search bar because I really wanted to learn some new patterns and instead i find myself just sitting here with tears streaming down my face.
My whole life I have been trying to master this elusive instrument. I would leave school for 3 hours at a time everyday to play the cowbell. I sacrificed my education for cowbell. I graduated with very low grades in 2002. My life could have been very different had this video come out earlier than 2006. I have always used the 'Midgets fist' as my preferred grip on the cowbell. But the resulting sound was not one that touched you deep in your soul. I can only assume had this video existed prior to me graduating high school I would have been the Justin Bieber of cowbell. I would have had 40 somethings crawling all over my ballsack. Oh well. Ce La Belieb.
To all you people who don't get the brilliance of this video's humor: Of course it's not the beach boys. That's the joke. It's funny because most of you people probably didn't catch that the symphonic piece just before it wasn't Mozart's fourth symphony (They even misspelled his name as "Motzart"). It was actually Beethoven's fifth symphony. BILLandFRED, you are amazingly hilarious, and I salute you!!
THANK YOU! I was always been criticized for playing the Cow Bell the wrong way, I mean, I've try everything, from playing it naked, during a sky dive, underwater, or in the middle of a bar filled with Hell's Angels members! Now I can rock on with my Cowbell!
the original (by blue oyster cult not the beach boys) features cowbell in exactly the same places as this, he's playing it at bruce dickinsons favoured volume though
Yes, that's Beethoven's 5th, and yes that's Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't fear the reaper". geez people, find a sense of humor! Sometimes I worry about my generation....
Needs more cowbell.
James. Chu. I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell!!!
**Hits cowbell erratically**
+James. Chu. Just came to this video to like this type of comment.
...
Moo.
Don't fear the reaper!
Finally a cowbell masterclass; I've been looking everywhere for this. Thanks so much, you changed my life!
I spent 500 hours learning to play cowbell, I think I got it.
I can't tell if you guys being sarcastic rn xD
All this time I thought I had to face the rising sun in order to get the best tone and sustain from a cowbell. Boy was I wrong.
L
Step one: You fucking Grab it
step 3 you add more. cause' it needs more cowbell
Firmly Grasp it

People still say that? Bit late to the party?
Marlenny Richardson Not really, but Y'know
I don’t know how the crap I found this video.
Not really, since I searched it up for school.. XD

Don’t question Bruce Dickinson!!!!
The c@ck of the walk, baby!
There is no way this is serious...
+ER0R yes der is

"Second Song: The Beach Boys"

@@gamingbraaa7698 Blue Oyster Cult.
It's 2023 and we still need more cowbell.
Needs more cowbell
Thank you for this video. I am now an award wining cowbell playing who travels around the world to perform.
This is hilarious lmao

wonderful! I'll always make sure to face due north when playing cowbell, even when prone! thanks!
3:04 this has to be a meme 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dani Sierro
it is
It is listen to don't fear the reaper by the blue oyster cult.
don't fear the reaper, for me the ultimate cowbell song.
By the Riverside Lads.
Fear is the path to the dark side. ... and there is no cowbell on the dark side
This was some quality content from the past. 😂
I put cowbell in the search bar because I really wanted to learn some new patterns and instead i find myself just sitting here with tears streaming down my face.
I really appreciate the sharing of information like this. My life is richer because of the generosity of people like you.
Fuck the cowbell, it's too damned hard. I'm going back to my triangle.
For those wondering - Track ID: Blue Oyster Cult - (Don't Fear) The Reaper
might have been a cover?
this here is probably the oldest comment on this video, how come it has no likes is out of my understanding
The narrator is like my school teachers and I'm like the guy. Just so much enthusiasm in his face.
Gene is remembered well for his contribution. But much of the credit deservingly goes to Bruce. Now there was a producer.

this video could've used a little more cowbell
Incredibly informative. I've been having a very difficult time with my new cowbell, but now I know how to play it properly!
shit thats Beethoven's 5th not Mozart's 4th
And the "modern song" was by Blue Öyster Cult, not the Beach Boys.
So many years... The cowbell have been upgraded from this to the cowbell in phonk...
Thanks now I can play Don't Fear The Reaper by the BÖC
I got to have more cowbell!
What are you doing here Dude?
2006 was a weird year i guess
Your sarcasm is godlike, sir.
I've allways wanted to be a cowbellist and now, thank to this video, I CAN!!
Hahahahaha funniest thing I've seen in years, long live the cowbell!!
still my favourite video on the internet
Fun fact: the cowbell was the first musical instrument ever built and it was invented in the year 2000.
so instruments were never built before? were they growing up in trees or something?
@@nainorotodox yes
THANK YOU! I was always been criticized for playing the Cow Bell the wrong way, I mean, I've try everything, from playing it naked, during a sky dive, underwater, or in the middle of a bar filled with Hell's Angels members!
Now I can rock on with my Cowbell!
there is no way this is serious, this is way to hilarious.
cowbell brought me here.
I got a fever, doctor sent me this video.
You’d be doing everyone a disservice if you didn’t play the hell out of the cowbell.
"Do you play a musical instrument?"
Yes.
This is how to be that, 'Yes'.
LOL just one video in this channel, 14 years ago
1:02 "what am i doing with my life?"
His life is going well!
A cow bell is aN AWARD WINNING INSTRUMENT!!
Needs more phonk
I laughed so much watching this it knocked me out of a deep depression. Thanks a bunch! I particularly liked the Bruce Dickinson position.
I got a fever, and the only cure is...
I knew I needed it today. Thank you.
You forgot to include the explore the studio space step
Classic! The mentos made me cry with laughter! Ah I love a good cowbell solo ;)

Fortnite Emote. Planning on doing a skit at the barbeque
2:55 what the hell! XD
the original (by blue oyster cult not the beach boys) features cowbell in exactly the same places as this, he's playing it at bruce dickinsons favoured volume though
(Don't Fear) The Reaper, best Beach Boys song ever!
hmm still trying to figure out if the north thing is true
Actually, facing downwind is more important.
One of the funniest things I ever seen. Excellent concept and execution.
Yes, that's Beethoven's 5th, and yes that's Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't fear the reaper". geez people, find a sense of humor!
Sometimes I worry about my generation....
It's a joke man.
this will forever be my favorite video
Sik transitions m8
I have a fever, and the prescription is more cowbell
Instructions not clear enough! Got my hat stuck in a ceiling fan! In don't even a ceiling fan or a hat!!
Thanks to this video, I can now plat the cowbell like a pro. Thanks guys.
We are showing this to extraterrestrial intelligences. Nice.
I'm actually impressed you managed to make a 3-minute-41-seconds-long movie about this...
King of improv!
"Kellbow"

@@Starvingstardog PewDiePie.
@@jildert. yea, i know lol
My fever was spiking somewhere around 101 degrees, but I'm better thanks to this video...
Who's here in 2017? 😂😂
2020
@riopolaris It is called "Don't fear the reaper" originally by the band Blue Oyster Cult.
This version is said to be by the Beach Boys.
Important: always explore the studio space when playing the cowbell
the world could use a little more cowbell....
Best part from 2:49 till 3:07
Maybe it was a deliberate mistake! It was also Beethovens 5th symphony that they played, but the screen said 4th!!!!! They're clearly CRAZY people!!
great now, play drift phonk
needs more don't fear the reaper
Amateur.
