Humanitys Last Breath 🤪🤘
To recycle a comment I saw on another dirty loops video, "this is what it sounds like when every musician in the band is the best musician in the band" 😄
Lol truth
Indeed!
Love that!!!
I must add though, that Quincy Jones had nothing to do with the actual production of this. He's just the manager of Dirty Loops, and they produce everything themselves, together with Simon Petrén (and in this case also Cory Wong, obviously). They've even said , in interviews, that they don't send Quincy Jones anything, not even demos, until they're all finished, video and all. They're just that ridiculously competent (and Jonah actually has a university degree in music production, iirc:). Jonah is also the one mostly responsible for the spicy chord progressions in this group. :)
Oooo got ya
And video editing is up to this day by Aron. Cheers.
the solo pattern at the end is always so wild. Displaced by a eighth rest, 3 groups triplet 16th to a group of 5 triplet 16ths, group of 6, group of 5 then round it out with 9 again and end with a quarter note or something dumb like that LOL
Jonas, the keyboard/lead singer writes the keyboard chords. He's a monster keyboardist with phenomenal jazz harmonic knowledge.
The stank face is Grace Kelly sax player extraordinaire!!!
“Who thinks of those chord progressions?”
That’s almost all Jonah.
You laughing your ass off at that solo ending was just brilliant, a laugh for just the right reason and a copy of my reaction as well. The whole song is amazing, as was your reaction. Great stuff.
🍻
Stank face is the highest compliment you can give a musician.
Truth
This singer sounds like a cross between Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Amazing Talent and his vocal Range is on another level ! 💯💢
That tap bass at light speed in the intro tho🤤.
Glad you saw Grace Kelly’s face! Priceless 😄
Re the effect on the bass solo: Eventide H9 in "whammy pedal" mode, with a generic expression pedal plugged into it to control the whammy.
Thank you!!!
The Trombone player writes all Brass charts, Cory is also a very good arranger, both combined are awesome,
Thanks, Tony. DL pockets are so tight there's no room for lint!
The stank face was Grace Kelly saxophonist extraordinaire!
Amazing music
What amazes me, is we expect an awesome horn arrangement from Michael Nelson, a 1st call arranger... but check the credits and see that besides Cory, that all three of Jonah, Aron and Henrik added to the horn arrangement!!!
Ah, the benefits of a classical education!
8:11 When the chick in the horn section makes the "Stank Face" you *KNOW* it's *_FUNKY_* !!!
I adore reactions to this track, especially by musicians who actually understand what is happening. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’ve been drumming/percussion for 15 years and playing professionally for almost a decade…most people just don’t…no I shouldn’t say don’t. They just simply can’t appreciate the talent inside that room and what’s taking place for that 5 minutes or however long it is lol.
Yes, Dirty Loops is both a band for musicians and for a general audience. LOVED this reaction. I enjoy you stopping and rewinding, that's how I listen too. Thanks a bunch!
Aaron is putting in the work on those drums and having a blast at the same time!
The Dirty loops track work shit out has a stunning drum feature at the end…
That's a great one. I reacted to it 🤟
@@DrumRollTonyReacts
Dang it I missed it…
Now I gotta go find it…
@@edharris6456 I have a dirty loops Playlist
1.) Henrik is always running some sort of auto wah/envelope sweeping effect on his bass rig (a Bassballs or something of that ilk) but the wicked high overtones on the bass solo I am fairly certain were provided by a Whammy Pedal.
2.) Cory Wong has the best damn right hand in the business and I will be walking into my studio to practice when I'm done typing this.
3.) How in the actual f do they all climb so deep into that pocket after that intro?
Cheers from down the street on a (finally) beautiful ass day in Seattle. And as always Go Hawks!
Dane, 🤣
Yeah, Henrik talks a fair bit about his bass setups on various YT interviews and chats. I’m not a bass player, but still find it super interesting, and I guess if I were, even more so… then there also is the Wong Notes podcast with Cory interviewing Henrik and them talking about, -amongst many other things-, specifically about the making of this album.
And yes, Cory is such a badass rhythm guitarist… 🔥
5 days in a row of sun. Holy Shit! Lmao. GO HAWKS
@@fiddlestix3025 Rad. Thanks for the heads up. I'm both a guitar and bass gear nerd/snob so I'll definitely have to watch one of Henriks rig rundowns sometime.
@@DrumRollTonyReacts Haha. Dude yes! After 30 straight days of oppressive rain in June. This is fucking glorious.
@@TheBigdane84 here’s just one of them…
ua-cam.com/video/N8sub5L60O4/v-deo.html
In some other vids he might go more into the gear side of things-.
☺️
Coming from more of a metalhead perspective who was also a "band geek" what stands out to me is the horns always being perfectly in sync, and the mix of the crispness of the stacatto and the feel of the bass, guitar and drums with that funky almost jazz feel. It mixes so well in contrast to each other.
Ive watched this video many times and never realized what a good time the drummer was having. He was smiling and having the time of his life in the second half of the song. Awesome reactions as always. Pay no mind to those who say to stop rewinding.
Bro I LOVE your down to earth reaction.
I SAW THEM LIVE AND THEY SOUND EXACTLY,LIKE THAT , THEY ARE ANIMALS!!!! GENIUS
The bass effect is a 2 octave up pitch shift. Very reminiscent of Justin Chancellor on Lateralus (just higher on the bass). In my opinion one of the most under utilized bass effects. Great reaction as always Tony!
You’re totally on point with the groupings and stank face bro. Fusion to the core and totally right by top 40 needs this!❤
The best and most competent reaction to any DL video yet
The technical aspects thrill me to no end, but the best thing about this song is the energy, and the fact that it is simply fun to listen to. Mood booster every time.
I just can't get over Henriks triplet ghost note licks. So clean!
Also on point with the speech at the end. Music is everyone’s and also for us musicians, it’s otherworldly! Much love bro
The peddle is for the bass guitar to interchangeable to a blend lead guitar. I’m an old musician. We use to use that in concerts. It takes the music always to the next level. It’s like having to instrument in one. God luck & continue to encourage & enjoy..
Great reaction. Again. :)
I don't know the order they recorded in during this collab, but Dirty Loops normally record a rough keyboard sketch first, then drums, then the rest of the keyboards and last the bass. Not sure where the vocals come into that though, whether they put that on with the keys or if it's the last thing they add. And the only one who actually goes into a proper studio to record sound is the drummer. Henrik and Jonah do all their recordings from home or the rehearsal space.
The secret sauce is the steady backbeat in the snare 2 and 4s. And the simpel or catchy melody graphs your hips. And the there is a crazy room for complexy inbetween
Dude, 100% agree, if only Dirty Loops was on Top 40. they have the mainstream sound to catch ears but also they blow the musicianship out of the water. Killer technical insight in your reaction video as always, you catch so much other stuff that most reaction videos don't, always appreciate that. Also, the flow of your videos is very easy to watch, you have a knack for pausing at the right moments, rewinding and describing in a concise and economical way without slowing down the video too much. Always gonna throw another suggestion out there just in case you're in the market for more stuff -- Luke Holland is another insane metal drummer (up there with Matt Garstka) who has a heavy background in drum core/drum line. 'Tendinitis' or the new track 'Upside Down' are great examples! Cheers!
Nice reaction, like it a lot. Especially when it comes from a musician that nows what you are talking about.
Bass? Drums? Bass and drums! Check out Henrik and Aaron doing some of their own stuff in "Music For Lovers: Bitten By The Kitten". One of my favorites, amongst DL's "World On Fire".
Great reaction. It's rewarding to see how contagious the musicians happy faces are to both audience and listener.
Parts of that horn section used to play with Prince.
At 8:17! 🤣
Dirty Loops just do that to you, and this collab with Cory Wong is so dope!
First they hit you with one thing, then straight after with another…
And the idea that all of this was created via zoom, emails and FaceTime, makes it even doper in my eyes.
There is an interesting podcast on Wong Notes, with Cory interviewing Henrik Linder-. Grace Kelly’s stank face -yes, absolutely! ;) check her out on YT as well, she’s a great musician!
Really loved the detail of your analysis and the level of your appreciation, Tony.
The track “Turbo” from the same collaboration could be a great next reaction! 👍
Add on:
an educated guess at the last two bars of Henrik’s solo: he’s playing 16th sextuplets while Aron is accentuating every third quaver.
(Oh god, I could be so wrong but hey….) 😉
"This is music music...why isn't this top 40"?
Tell me about it. Why is stuff like this not on the radio. It mustn't be accessible to the average person. Which is a shame.
Thanks for picking out that incredible hi-hat work. Most people reacting to this missed that.
Love your enthusiasm for the music and the immense talent that want into creating and performing it.
In "Turbo" from the same album/session, the horn section get a real workout. So if you enjoy funky horns, that's the next stop on this journey
I second Turbo! Great track.
yeah, my favorite track also. I see you pick up on a little thing I love in this song: Henrik with the triplets and the slap, but the contrast of the end of phrase where he just plays legato notes (still fast, but even volume envelope, no attack etc....on cello would be all in one bow) is a nice bit of nourishment for me.
Nourishment. I like that
Finally... a reaction that's on point! This collaboration checked every box! By the way, Henrik is using a "whammy" pedal ( I have one in my setup)
Whammy with an octaver, for that solo… 👍
Aron's subdividing is on point!!
I literally busted out laughing at the same time after that bass run 😂
You know what I love about your reactions? It’s that I can actually see on your face what’s in the score. That intense listening, and how all the details and nuances show when shit goes down!! For ex 4:43 in this clip…plus great insight and analysis, radio voice…just awesome. 🤩👌🏻
Cory Wong spoke on how they did at least some of the songs. He said he sent Dirty Loops a demo of some of the songs and they built the rhythm section on to the songs and sent them back to him and he and his band did the rest. But as far as who records what when in Dirty Loops, the way they used to do it may not be the way they do it now. From what I understand, Henrik records his bass parts last on their own music because it's easier for him to figure out how to fit in his parts in the empty spaces or whatever.
Yeah, that's how I've understood how they did the four songs that Cory Wong came up with (Turbo, Ring of Saturn, Zap, and Hardtop). Follow the Light, Thriller, and Hästråtta, which were the ones DL contributed with, were- as far as I understand - songs that DLhad already written the most of already before the collab came up, but don't quote me on that, as i can't for the life of me remember in which interview/podcast I heard that. :)
@@lottawiklund8606 by the way, what does "Hästråtta" actually mean?
@@JamilaGomez82 Häst means horse, and råtta means rat, so Horserat. Which isn't actually a word in Swedish. They're being silly again, hahaha. I (and probably a few others) suggested to Jeff Castanon (Stratele Studios) that he ask Jonah, and he did, but Jonah didn't have an answer either (I have a vague memory of a comment about that - I'll check). They are such goofs. :D
@@JamilaGomez82 Ok,. I found the comment, and he actually did ask Jonah. This is what Jeff wrote:
"Hi gang…was just chatting with Jonah about the meaning of “Hästråtta” and he said it simply means Horse-Rat with no deeper meaning. Henrik came up with the name! "
Why am I not surprised the name suggestion came from Henrik? :D
@@lottawiklund8606 I’m super jealous that you get to see them. I hope they don’t forget about us over here in the states.
Yeah, the piano chords following the rhythm of the melody is really cool.
If I remember correctly from an interview: Jonah records first, then Hennrik records, then Aaron records, then they put it together and sent it to Cory and the group.
Hearing a room full of virtuoso musicians like this is the very definition of a gestalt……i.e, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Tony, I believe you may be the only one to notice or comment on the fact that Jonah's keyboard work was nearly note for note what the other band members were playing. This is even more apparent in Turbo.
Hey thinkman, yeah exactly what Jonah was saying too in one of his interviews, that the nice thing about playing music together is that it can become so much more than the sum of its parts -and mind you, those parts in themselves aren’t shabby, either :)
And re that doubling of other parts on synth: true. Simon Petrén who mixes and masters Dirty Loops’ tracks, said a few interesting things about that in two YT interviews I saw-. 👍
Definitely listen to Turbo from the same album/session/whatever you call it these days. The horns really shine in that one.
I think I read somewhere that Henrik is the last to record his part. The synth parts (with mock bass and drums) and vocals come first, then Aaron records the drum part, then Henrik records the bass part to lock in everything. But after rehearsals, it’s sounds exactly like the recording when they play live.
If I'm not mistaken... that is a wah wah pedal on the bass. Never saw that done before! So tasty! So Good! I don't know Anyone who doesn't get loopafied when hearing these guys the first time! I Love Em!!!!!!
There are some wah fx as far as the envelope being "wah'd" but that high pitch stuff was out there! Very cool
You've been loopyfied.❤️💯❤️🇸🇪❤️
I couldn't get a good look at it, but I *think* the pedal Henrik uses on that bass solo is a DigiTech Freqout.
Welcome to the DL rabbit hole 😀 . Next level musicians that play what they like and want... their level of expression has awaken my own hunger for musical growth.. One can be so bored, with all mainstream music nowdays... I've been a musician for forty some years and way to lazy with practicing for the last 20.. but after hearing them for the first time, about 10 years ago, the practice pad has been taking some serious punishment again 😀.
May I suggest you listen to "Breakdown" or an older one, called "Hit me"! Would be nice to see your musical reaction to these masterpieces.
They are very very inspirational 👏
For people commenting on the horn section being so good, that should not surprise you as Steve Strand(trumpet), Michael Nelson(t-bone), and Kenni Holmen(sax), once upon a time were part of the horn section for this guy Prince you may have heard of.
Another great reaction! You may want to check out Dirty Loops album I believe was done at the same time as their collaboration with Cory Wong called Phoenix. Also, Turbo by Dirty Loops and Cory Wong. As for your question who is my favourite artist to dance to? Well, I can go far back to Billy Paul singing Me & Mrs. Jones. ❤️🇨🇦
Realu enjoy your comments, I was lucky enough to hear DL live last Saturday and they started with this tune. try react to"next to you" crazy....
Hej Daniel 🙋
Yes, Next To You is a must listen. I'm going to see them this upcoming Saturday. Yay!
Ha det 🙂
Söderhamn? They also told me that they will play in England soon👍
@@Tassilago I'm going to Söderhamn on Saturday as well. Can't wait! :D
@@danielstromberg7260 Yes, Söderhamn it is 😀👍.
@Lotta Wiklund I'll enjoy the heck out of it! It's such a beautiful place, too; Världsarv Hälsingegård. Have fun, my fellow music lover.
They played in my hometown last thursday, first time I heard them live 😁
you should listen to “sayonara love” or “next to you” by dirty loops next, highly recommend
imagine how fun it must be to be Henrik Linder with a bass in your hand
If you like the horn section, definitely check out "Turbo" from the same DL&Cory collaboration :D
👽- Jonah 👽-Aron 👽-Henrik They have to be! Humans are not that perfect.
I love the Loops and I love this song. Your reaction, comments and your obvious enjoyment just added another veneer of joy to what was already a sensational reaction. Good stuff. I'm just one fan and I'll probably tick off a few people by saying this but I assume the other song you're referring too is "Rings of Saturn"? If so it's -to me at least- a much more meditative energy level. If you're looking for another rocker from this session I'd recommend "Turbo". Everybody is flying high though no vocals.
r
Anyone else realise that the intro keys,is the intro to Baywatch 😁
For me, there's nothing not to like about this track. The insane arrangement, the tight ensemble playing, sprinkle in the various embellishments, the whole damn thing is great. I've love to have the multi-track and be able to solo various parts, especially the horns. It's a great track indeed.
So true. Most of my family thinks my music taste is too out there but when I played this, everyone had a big fat smile on their face :)
@@soraya2218 ... It's hard to argue about great music, it's just there, for everyone to see.
You really need to react to Cory and Dirty Loops doing the song TURBO!!! It has a very Hardcore Tower of Power Vibe you will enjoy.... but it's DIRTY :-D
Good afternoon DrumRollTony.
Your reaction to Dirty Loops and Cory was soooo funny, yes i know, they do that often to you 😁 Lol.
The thing now days in music " not all music " is. It is entertainers, they are performing the music. Taking away the shine from the musicians and not musician becoming entertainers. If you know what i mean.
Side note..... Lot of times Aron ( drummer ) and jonah ( vocals and keyboards) writes, arange, compose the music togehter, from horn section to background vocals.
All three of them write their music. On the Phoenix album the majority of the stuff is written by Aron and Henrik, but they write together in pairs, in all constellations, and often one song have different parts written by different pairs, so to speak.
@@lottawiklund8606, true that 👍
This is like dream theater meats Michael Jackson meets Whitney houston
This is what they mean when you have butterflies in your chest.
Regarding the bass solo question: those are Henriklets, and we weren’t meant to understand - only appreciate.
🤣
The laugh at 8:24 says it all.....
Superb video. Excellent reaction, Sir. The musicians are all so good, everything looks and sounds effortless. It's easy to miss how amazing they are. Your "rewind & replay" with comments helps highlight the musicianship, and especially the arrangements and synch between them. Best of all is your clearly having a lot of fun, and sharing "the Love". 😆
Best Wishes. ☮
PS - If you haven't heard Jacob Collier, try his Grammy Winners. Also:
_Jacob Collier: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert_ ua-cam.com/video/mJR6XSSKi-g/v-deo.html (16m:12s)
It's PBS who might block, but it's 3 songs, so reacting to the first one is likely OK (3m:52s; I've seen reactions to it). As you'll see, he is a multi-instrumentalist. He made the video himself too.
Senri kawaguchi …track name ‘onyx’…quarantine session version….as a drummer…I am dead sure you will appreciate the fluid playing style in that one..great track too…great reaction brother…dirty loops are just wild as hell…crazy musicians….that make very relatable music… you were dead on, on that front…
Greatest intro of all time
Yeah, Tony’s face at 0:58 🤣
6:47 the chord your wondering about is a tritone substitution
that's a whammy pedal (I know from interviews that he goes 7 octaves up sometimes) and some fuzz etc.
Great reaction! I highly recommend "Turbo" next with the same lineup of rediculesly awesome musicians and then for a totally different groove, check out "Rings of Saturn". Keep them coming!
This is #HolyGrail level of doing Berklee-level-music-for-musicians which can still be thoroughly enjoyed by mere mortals!! Just *crazy* good, all of them. :)
p.s. I'm not going to shut up til I see your thoughts on that Scary Pockets with Steve Swatkins & the big band Daft Punk cover (link in reply) ;p
Scary Pockets with the excellent Steve Swatkins & the Frankfurt Radio Big Band covering Daft Punk: ua-cam.com/video/RHu0ALxqUIo/v-deo.html
You're welcome!! :)
If you want another good one from this group you should check out Turbo. Think 1970's Tower of Power transported to 2022 on a case of Red Bull. Very funky drumming and some killer solo by Henrik.
8:15 hauhauhauahu! OK! 🤣
I saw them live a week ago and they were amazing!! I think you need to check out “turbo” since you listen a lot to the horn section and you can’t miss out on “coffee break is over”! You’ll just have to listen all of their songs…
Jens, yes!
‘Turbo’ and ‘Coffee Break is Over’!
Good to hear that you heard them live and loved them. Everyone who’s ever heard them live is being blown away… 👍
The effect on the first part of the bass solo is the whammy pedal. Can't figure out the time signature, but the duration is over 2 measures of 4/4. There are 3 measures of groups of 9, like a 9/32 time signature (the snare hits on every 5th beat), but then there is a 4th measure tag of 12 beats, like a 4th measure of 12/32. If they are 32nd notes, that math does not add up to 64 32nd notes in two measures of 4/4, that's 3 too many beats. So I don't know...(!)
Tower of Power
Pre-Insta-Like 😁
IF I don't pay strict attention to everything that's going on here, and just listen to the overall feel and sound -- it's a dance-able pop song. But once you zero in on the details -- in all the instruments and arrangement sections -- it's a progressive jazz song masquerading as a pop song. It's simply incredible.
That's a very accurate description
I love that comment ☺️👍
Blah Blah! Got it!!
I just found your channel and I'm diggin the reactions.. If you haven't watched zildjian live with Gergo Borlai & snarky puppy with larnell lewis "we like it here" you MUUUST see.. reactions vid or not lol .. its 🤯
For an amazing drum solo by Aron, listen to Work Shit Out.❤️🇨🇦
whammyyyyyyyyyyy pedal:)
I looooove this song .. its toit as shit
you really really really need to react to The Warning sisters, her drummer are a beast, in the good sentence of the word.
I recomend you "survive"in live sesion, but every song of the band is so good
Greetings from México
Do you know that they recorded the Dirty Loops´ part In Sweden and Cory Wong in the US?
Yea! So cool. Lol did you skip the intro?
I heard. The dirty loops were in Sweden. And Cory was green screened in
No green screen, as far as I've understood it. They filmed it individually, with Dirty Loops in Stockholm, Sweden, and Cory and the horns in Minneapolis, US. Aron, the drummer of Dirty Loops, edited the films together. Cory talks a bit about it in his podcast (Wongnotes), in the episode where he has Henrik Linder as his guest. :)
I've listened to that episode a few times to see what I'm missing. The making of the videos isn't mentioned at all in that episode. Only the recording of the songs.
@@concurrentvulgaire9764 He talks about how he and Aron worked out all the details of the cameras and gear just at the beginning, before Henrik Linder comes on mostly, Can't remember if he talks about it after Henrik comes on though. I have to admit that I might have heard something about it in some of the Swedish interviews/podcasts as well, but I can't remember where. If you look carefully you can see, in the shots where you see the whole band, how Henrik's shadow is cut off where the rugs meet, where the films are put together. Also, in Thriller you can actually see parts of the studio behind Dirty Loops at times, so there's definitely no green screen behind them, but yeah, I guess that doesn't say anything about what's behind Cory and the Horns, and if they have a green screen behind all those lights. I have little to no knowledge about actual film editing, so I can only repeat what I've heard them say themselves, and as far as I've understood it, it's actually separate films stitched together (as you can see, I don't even have the terminology for this duscussion, hahaha) down the middle, in the few shots where all of them are shown simultaneously. :)
Lol oh and it's triplets
It's just so Michael Jackson. ETA I love it anyway.
