![2CELLOS - Thunderstruck [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uT3SBzmDxGk/mqdefault.jpg)
To anyone complaining saying he's playing the banjo the wrong way, Jimi Hendrix played guitar the wrong way. He didn't know scales or chord progressions, he just knew what sounded good. Hell he even used a violin bow to play it once or twice. So stop bitching. The best at what they do often do it unconventionally.
Long as it sounds good, there IS no wrong way. Just play what your mind and heart and talent call for. This guy playing that 5-string with a guitar pick is actually pure genius. I am a banjo player myself and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
+Al Scarbrough any clue how he's got that 'jo tuned?
Spyder Webb From what I can tell, he's definitely got it tuned a key lower than what it normally would be. The truncated G string I don't see him plucking any so that string is out of the playing, so the main four strings are what he is using. The longer G string is definitely tuned to a lower key and the rest are the same. It shows this guy is a genius when it comes to tweaking it to just what he wants and needs. It also shows he has spent a lot of time tinkering and figuring out those tweaks and derivations from the normal. He is incredibly talented with that 'jo and it would be very interesting to just sit down and have him show me a thing or two. His skill level is MUCH above mine.
+Al Scarbrough Yep! His banjo skill level = Jedi
+MrNidogg actually this song is pretty easy to learn it is all on the b string and constantly repeats you could learn it in about a week not including hammer ons and pull offs
Good stuff! But then I realized this video was shot in ONE TAKE -- no editing. That's when I realized these guys are REALLY good. No fancy 32-track, autotune, computer effects laden video. Just plain old fashion ass kicking music.
+Jimmie Robinson ...and they sound so damn _tight_. They know what they're doing, and they're doing it good.
never caught that! you are absolutely right, man.
and not even in their native language!
brought on point. that's asskicking good music.
how it should be #fuckthisshitnowadays
+Jimmie Robinson GOOD GOLLY!! THEY MADE AC/DC squeal LIKE A PIG!!!!
“The sound of the drums,” *Accordion noises intensify*
I love this
finland old song.lauri ankerman vapauden kaiho and ievan polkka
Same as the harmonica in The Piano Man lol
I'm an American Hillbilly and these Fins nailed it. Well done gentlemen.
Suomalaiset juntit lol
As a Hillbilly as well, I agree@@rasmuskorhonen748
I'm an Aussie and this all the perfect blend 🤘🙏
It's not about where you where born or even raised that kinda music is strictly from the soul. And evidently those guys have all got a extra 1 or 2 .
I’m Chilean and I actually thought they were born and raised Southerners the first time I saw this video 😂
There's a band called AC/DC doing a cover of this. It's pretty good
No whooshed? Good, just making sure.
ok that was a good one
Australian band AC/DC own this song... this band just attempted to do a poor copy of the song..which they did
@@pegasusgalaxy68
/wooosh
Never really liked them. I think that is a poor cover... :P
The dude is shredding that fucking banjo like an absolute madman
Amen!
Not to mention the rest of the instruments.
Give em a couple bucks.
ManCave .Productions
Best comment EVER!
Talk about genetic deficiencies... :D
Would have never thought those two words belonged in the same sentence... that is banjo & shredding... fucking and madman, of course, are a given!
Still one of the greatest videos on UA-cam.
As a lifelong fan of AC/DC , this is STILL one of the best covers EVER!!!
I can't stand their vocalist, so that makes this THE BEST VERSION EVER for me.
Made in Scotland from Girders !
"a rock solo would sound awful on accordion"
"hold my tractor"
HA HA HA HA HA HA Hold my Tractor LMFAO Dude you made my day hahaha
Dude that is gold, off work today due to feeling shit and that's made me laugh and feel a shit tonne better.
Get that man a drink!
E Küpçük hold my tractor 😂😂👌🏻
Hold my moonshine
hahaha ,hold my tractor, thats funny right enough Hahaha :-)
I clicked on this video, not knowing what to expect. Opening scene: a Massey Ferguson, a man comes in on a Stiga lawnmover. I start fearing for the worst. Someone starts playing the banjo - superbly. The singer strikes an anvil. I start tapping my feel. I like where it's going. The accordion comes on. I'm grinning and nodding my head. So great!
exactly my thoughts friend haha
IamMagPie thanks for the play by play 🙄
IamMagPie this aint music its just shit
IamMagPie as I was reading your comment I started doing it all too
really great!
That Banjo Player Makes That Instrument Sing On Its Own. Y'all Are Awesome ❤
Real deal Mr McGill those guys are slicker than a baloney sandwich with mayonnaise in hot weather. And yes that fellow makes the banjo strings sing He's the Hendrix of bluegill covers of rock and I'm of my other favorite banjo pickers who is a artist herself say he does thing with a banjo she can't touch her name is Mary Ann but everyone else knows her as Mean Mary and her fast banjo. I love the bass player also the way he'll change between numbers from gut to bull bass shows how versatile he is. Hell their all talented and I'd love to get asked to set down and jam for a bit.
F**k"in awesome! Turning an original classic upside down, reinventing it, and absolutely knocking it out of the park...... amazing guys
There is something about the one guy riding in on the lawnmower for the intro that seems especially appropriate: the tone of the running engine and sound of the engine cut-off perfectly fit the video/song, sonically.
I live in the country and it’s an everyday sight to see someone driving a lawnmower down the road, mainly the ones with multiple DWIs. Also it’s an Amish area so buggies and tractors. Great place to live.
Me gurta la música
'Course
Intro favorite part!
Had to feed the live stock and was running late in my mind😎 I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness
7 years later and it’s not getting old!
No doubt man!!!!
oj tak tatuśku
8 years too ;)
It’s fu*kin class 😁👌🏻
8 yrs, now still good. lol love this.
9 years passed since this uploaded here and only now I've discovered 😢 Can write here a billions of nice words but I think only saying this will be enough; this is what exactly music means..Best sounds in harmony giving you the utter pleasure possible for the brain and soul..Thanks guys..
I new these guys were gonna rock it when the accordion player, possibly drunk, showed up late on a field mower, and the banjo player started strumming. Wonderful cover.
Did he show up late or as planned by the band?
"Let's start a band"
"I have an anvil and spoons"
"Done"
and it rolls hard.
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget the banjo
A mower too!
Spoons are great!
Teacher: What Instrument do you play?
Me: The Anvil
Teacher: and what about you?
me: tongs
Teacher: Do you at least play an instrument?
Me: Yeah kinda
Teacher: What do you do?
Me: I play the spoons
It this situation it would just be sorted under "percussion"
My SporK
I play an antique hand mixer sometimes...
As a dark-skinned American, I became a Hippie in the 70s; but I fell in love with Bluegrass while locked up in the 90s, unable to get a clear reception on a AM radio. It started on Sunday: good preaching, good gospel music... but apart from the normal music, they were jammin' with a lot of RNB, HipHop and Rock! I was blown away with the sound, as well as with the music itself. I was like... 'what have I been missing...' and claimed to be a musician. Ya'll need to get into Bluegrass, baby! Peace
I can visualize your writing like a scene of some movie😁
This is absolutely the best COVER of a song Ive ever heard!!! These guys KICK ASS!!!!
This drummer has otherworldish sense of timing.Amazing
good musical sense
Yeah his talent on the spoons is incredible
Français
The joys of music, especially if blessed with perfect pitch/ timing etc
You mean the guy playing te spoons?
I come from Bum Fukk Middle of Nowhere Broken Hill, Australia, mining giant BHP homeland and there has never been a stronger current of AC/DC running through our veins thanks to you boys. What a breath of fresh air this is to our souls. Thankyou from the bottom of our pit and hearts.
Purely belted, loud and proud.
You jammy git.
Wasnt mad max filmed around that area ?,
I know it is a sin to be proud....but I am. These guys come from my home country, Finland. AC/DC being one of my favourite bands, this is a great tribute. Rock!
Well there is good pride and toxic pride. That is good pride I think.
I'm an Aussie. This is how international relations should be!
Nothing wrong with that. :D
Be proud, these dudes rock. Every single one killed it and I want to be their friend.
it's a sin to be proud?
I too am just amazed by this band and this song! I live in Rural Southern Virginia in the United States and when this is played at local festivals/dances everyone just stops and starts dancing! Thank you so much!
Dadgummit man. That bass player and banjo player are absolutely killing it.
Yes! They are! I play 5-string banjo and I am blown away by this guy. /bows before the guy and his banjo while saying 'I'm not worthy' LOL
+9milnoob Amen bro :D
ja ja ja ja ja ja ja muy buena
+9milnoob And add that accordion solo at 2:36 to that, amazing!
and the spoons
Once you master playing the anvil the world is yours.
NEED MORE ANVIL!!!
I've just brought an anvil
Someone needs to make a band made out of only modified anvils
Bro that’s like the thing from Minecraft!😂😂
4 years of idiophone school
edit: he broke every triangle he ever had
As a bluegrass player from 1969 till 2003,i have to say these guys are the bomb!!!!!AC/DC would give this their stamp of approval.
Hope so !
What you have is the purest form of Music. Something we did not realize we missed till now.
that anvil tho !!!!!! ding ding lol LOVE IT !!!!
They probably use an electric anvil on tour. Much more portable.
Hahahahhaha probally
prob-hill-billy
n. sn dmf
Might accidentally drop it on someone's head
This is insane, a banjo, accordion, mandolin to play this song. What an amazing performance. Great talent and long live AC DC.
Eric Miranda Don't forget their bull fiddle and spoons
This is not accordion. This is Russian bayan
Nice to know, another alias of this instrument.
And don't forget the anvil!
Don't forget the anvil
This is unironically almost better than normal Thunderstruck
This Aussie thinks this is one of the best covers of this song ever.
They add their own inimitable style and that just makes it perfect.
The more I see of the Finns, the more I like them.
When a dude with an accordion rolls up on a lawnmower, you know shit is about to get real!
Damn right👍👍
🤣😂🤣
You ain't lyin
Totally serious stuff 'bout to come down ❤👀
especialy when he has a hat with what looks like a giant fur penis
Im pretty sure AC/DC does a cover for this song. These boys killed it 🙌🏽
XD YES!!!
I think i might've heard of them before.
best comment ever
😂
🤣
Every now and then I need to hear this version...still great
"So what do you do in the band?"
"I play the anvil."
“I’m on the spoons”!
Ya that’s funny how they came up with it😂
Dibs on the lawnmower.
thats cool i play the sink
Plot twist..the anvil played the whole squad 😅
The amount of talent is unreal
YES!!! Fascinating. Amazing entertainers.

@@garrchristopher3950 not really it's just thunderstruck easy to play

Nice comment brother😂👌
Drinking moonshine rn 😂😂
Darn tootin rootin
This is what you call real musicians....no fancy effects....raw, bags of fun....and a shit load of talent! Just Wow!
:-)
Finally I understand the lyrics of this song!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Same here))))
playing Angus Young's riffs on the banjo is a separate art form!
The amount of talent here is seriously under rated

Not that hard to cover a song.
Sorry guys, AC/DC won't be able to come play.

I had an honor to work side by side with the finest blue collar Finns for several seasons.
When friends back home ask me about Finland in general, and their people - I point them to the fact that in the land where climate isn't suitable for growing anything else than vitutus, Finns grow great vegetables and make damn fine music with only wrench and anvil😅.
This will never get old
nearly a decade later and these guys still blow my mind ..
ikr xd
Seriously that banjo player is on a new level.
@@shadowprince4482saw him live tonight, guy is an absolute living legend
It's official has been a decade
''what do you play?"
"oh i play the mandolin and the anvil"
And the anvil.
and the spoons
James Tessman I play the spoons and the drums
I play with myself....Guitar! that is! I have no band. You for surely didn't think I meant!?...Anyhow....These guys sounded great. This is a very creative alternative to bluegrass. And that's coming from a Kentuckian that knows bluegrass.
Iam anvil worker xD
AC/DC would be proud of these guys. Their cover was amazing!
These gentlemen shred!🍻✅🇺🇸
Making rhythm with the spoons. Epic. The sound of the banjo is really awesome
Yes! and a wrench on an anvil to top it off.
Man with spoons is awesome 😀
SpoonMan come together with your hands
That boy wearing out that banjo
Me encanta muy bueno el bajo me volo la cabeza sin contar el que usa las cuchara EPICO
The Guy playing the drums and 'spoons' is fucking awesome!
You mean Kventzu Tarrantinonen? yeah he rocks.
That's Quentin Tarantino.
search artis spoonman
Abbey the spoon lady plays a mean set of spoons too. "Angels in Heaven" with Chris Rodrigues.
I have watched this video 40 times and i can't stop. You guys are just too cool.
I say again... oh my !!!!! Where have you guys been all my life?!?!?! A huge fan of deep south blue grass, I love the cultural parody and musical tribute. I'm writing your music into my funeral arrangements!
This isn’t bluegrass at all.
@@xkidmidnightxyou mum is bluegrass
@@toot1st105 well yeah. She actually does play real bluegrass music. Unlike these guys.
@@xkidmidnightxIt’s better
@@ExoticDva it’s not better than bluegrass 😂😂😂
"So how do you plan to do the solo."
"Well I have my accordion."
This is the greatest cover ever made.
3 cocktails and two beers into the night, for aome reason i remembered this video and had to rewatch it. Yee yee🤘
The best cover on youtube? Yes, yes it is.
Band: Finnish
Song: Australian
Genre: American
Hotel: Trivago
Tractor: Massey Ferguson
😂😂😂
Genre: rock but cool
I've had this exact version on my my Apocalyrical Playlist. Years... Years... Glad you found it! Music is the closet to GOD I may have ever been...
@Nathan Hale sorry, are you homophobic, or do you routinely resort to female shaming tactics because you were raised by a single mother?
Best anvil playing I've ever heard.
You can really tell he's mastered it.
Tried myself once, much harder than it looks!
Thats just fucking country...
@@bigpp7903 That good music
Dang, my anvil is so out of tune
All these years
Never gets old
Luvs 😘
I need these guys at my ranch.
That's gotta be one of the hardest working banjo players I've ever seen.
I KNOW RIGHT??
Dude on the upright bass is no slouch either. 👍
As an ex-Scruggs-style banjo picker (ex, due to arthritis), I can verify that flat-picking a banjo that well and that fast is seriously hard.
Fingers flying on the banjo ! YES!
He can deff cut a shine 😮😊
The guy on the spoons is killing it, love it!
id love to put turdeaus head on that anvil just when he strikes one and two
Dude you like him? You Really, really, really need to checkout the spoon lady
PURE ENTERTAINMENT...... THESE GUYS ARE INSANELY TALENTED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me: I need to go to bed
UA-cam: Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's 2:08AM here, I know what you mean lol 😂
7 in the morring lmao on a sunday should go to sleep :O
Marcus Hillerström happened again last night lol
I've seen slayer, raining pigs, and a washing machine drum cover
BEAR productions but have you seen a song played entirely on melons?
I am impressed. They both stayed true to the original, and yet made it their own at the same time. Excellent sound, well done.
Absolutely Hans
Certainly some musical talent in that group !

Almost a decade later and I still can't get enough of this song.
I just found a diamond in the form of music. The music is incredible and you managed to make it even more incredible
The accordian is sic. I bet AC/DC never imagined this.

Beautiful, soothing & relaxing...
Thunderstruck HillBilly style. LOVE IT!!
No way.
Not in a million years would I have thought that I'd be blown away by how you played the song.
I mean come on; the choice of instruments played - an anvil, spoons, mandolin, banjo, accordion, and bass - gave me pause.
This is flippin' awesome!!!!!
don't forget the anvil
@@ktwashere5637he Said anvil
Fukking anvil oh yeah
These guys are Awesome, I bet they throw some kicking parties!
I'm sorry I disliked you, but you were at 70 likes. I had to make it perfect.
Gavin White lol
Paul Ricalde moonshine and shit!!!
I think you mean "hootenanny"
Hopefully they are all corny !!! I`ll take a Jug:)
Just discovered, by chance, this group yesterday,.....I'm really digging the music and all the instruments and whole vibe!! ❤🎉
Me too man I’m glad we found them
My son just saw them in Pa. Said they were fantastic!
How do you get the anvil in such perfect tune? That's my question.
Its a good question. The band members told in some interview that when preparing for the filming they were goofing with the set and just happened to notice the tuning by change.
BTW while this is one shot live - it was not the first shot. There is a video (named "the art of making videos" - or something such) by them, which makes it quite obvious :)
What’s your favorite instrument?
*the anvil*
Solo spoons
Welcome to the wonderful world of percussion. Where anything you can hit is an instrument.
The fuckin’ anvil, of course.
The Anvil LOL 🤣🤣
Anvil + spoon combination. Greatest pairing since pb and j
This is fantastic. And the first time I've ever understood the lyrics.
Same 🤣
Haha too funny. Me too!!
😅 me too, i will tell it to Brian Johnson, hehe, joke.. "Island of Mindanao Here, Philippines"
i can hear it clearly
Right
Just proves that we all can play, sing and enjoy the same kind of music and get along.
That anvil is a nice touch
Cannot believe I am 8 years late to this. Absolutely incredible. Idk what blows my mind more, the very existence of this cover or just how damn good it is
I stumbled on this video a few months back. I love blue grass music. Love how these guys did this song
Glad you found it.
Yeh yeh 🪕💪🏻🐾
Me too
Damn. I'm right behind you. This is just friggin awesome.
As an Aussie we love ACDC but these guys are amazing and I'm sure ACDC would agree 👍
Check out 2Cellos version, too (recorded 9 yrs ago).... ;o)
@@sailnekkid I met an aussie once
As a Brit also.

Gotta say I do find this cover quite often and do still love listening to it. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
Okay, I’m officially impressed! 👏🏻

1:09 “The sound of the drums”

Drum guy was busy lol
Couldn't stop laughing.

Thats a concertina though
Not to be rude, but that's definitely not a concerina
I am a die-hard ACDC fan, 65 years old, but gentlemen, this was FUN!!!!!
Andreas Andy, a mere 65, lol wait until you get to 72 and still love this ,stay safe brother, from the UK
@blademon7 Top man then .
@B Me seen it, awesome 🤟
Me too (62), saw ACDC back in '79,Hammersmith Odeon, Bon Scott was still around. 👍
I'm only 16 and also love AC/DC, but this is an amazing cover and I like
Flocking awesome.
Love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love. Let's go.
Needs more anvil.
Why isnt this comment higher?!
That's what I really love the anvil.
Seems the joke is lost on most people.
Good one!
for those who dont get this joke, i'll say one word...... COWBELL!
I couldn't believe these guys aren't from the Appalachian region in America. Apparently in Finland y'all have amazing vibes like in my neck of the woods 😎 Simply brilliant music!
Exactly where I thought this was too lol
They’d fit right in
I feel like that was their goal
They're from Finland apparently..! 😆
Freqkin kiddin me??? Finland????? Noooooo????!!!
I have seen this video so many times and today I notice the license plate on the car and I'm like what? This is not in the US...
Super Excellent...and without electricity...(DC) very very nice👍👍👍 greetings from Germany
Love these Hillbillies ❤
How big is your smile watchin this vid?
As big as the sun jamm'in up over the Blue Ridge, Godzilla!
about the largest my face supports :P :))))))))
'bout like the guy at 2:34, check out that grin!
Big :D
just love it that's me when i watching the vid !__!
"You can't do that on a banjo...."
"Hold my beer."
I agree, that speed is just showing off. I'm so impressed! I can do like half that speed (on a regular guitar) and it gets really difficult, really fast.
More like "hold my moonshine" 😂
Na, man it was "let me finish this jug..."
Shit hot
Steven White bull shit you want to make a ber
