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 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...
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.
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!
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!!
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....
U did good. The digs at Bruce and the Beach boys is funny as hell! I have seen them both in concert.LOL I have never been much on instruction .Just give me the damn thing and Will Ferrell and let the fever loose!!

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
guess what, i got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
you would be put in quarantine if that was now
Don’t question Bruce Dickinson!!!!
The c@ck of the walk, baby!
Needs more cowbell
im in the weird part of internet again
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
There is no way this is serious...
+ER0R yes der is
+ER0R super cereal
*super muesli cereal
It's real serious. it's categorized as comedy.
🤣
This is hilarious lmao
"Second Song: The Beach Boys"
*Plays BOC* lol.
What’s BOC?
@@gamingbraaa7698 Blue Oyster Cult.
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.
It's 2023 and we still need more cowbell.
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
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.
Thank you for this video. I am now an award wining cowbell playing who travels around the world to perform.

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
Fuck the cowbell, it's too damned hard. I'm going back to my triangle.
shit thats Beethoven's 5th not Mozart's 4th
And the "modern song" was by Blue Öyster Cult, not the Beach Boys.

2006 was a weird year i guess
there is no way this is serious, this is way to hilarious.
this video could've used a little more cowbell
Gene is remembered well for his contribution. But much of the credit deservingly goes to Bruce. Now there was a producer.
"Mozart's 4th" Plays Beethoven 5..
*Motzart
cowbell brought me here.
The narrator is like my school teachers and I'm like the guy. Just so much enthusiasm in his face.
Classic! The mentos made me cry with laughter! Ah I love a good cowbell solo ;)
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!!
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
This was some quality content from the past. 😂
I really appreciate the sharing of information like this. My life is richer because of the generosity of people like you.
I got a fever, doctor sent me this video.
Thanks now I can play Don't Fear The Reaper by the BÖC
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!
Incredibly informative. I've been having a very difficult time with my new cowbell, but now I know how to play it properly!
I got to have more cowbell!
What are you doing here Dude?
1:02 "what am i doing with my life?"
His life is going well!
Your sarcasm is godlike, sir.
very informative and I loved the humor!!!
"Do you play a musical instrument?"
Yes.
This is how to be that, 'Yes'.
I got a fever, and the only cure is...
I laughed so much watching this it knocked me out of a deep depression. Thanks a bunch! I particularly liked the Bruce Dickinson position.
One of the funniest things I ever seen. Excellent concept and execution.
You forgot to include the explore the studio space step
our cows know this from birth
this will forever be my favorite video
The most important instrument for 80s-90s R&B and hip-hop
MORE COW BELL 😂
Important: always explore the studio space when playing the cowbell
