A few years back a friend sent me a link to Work Shit Out which I got at 4am. I was so blown away just listening on the tablet. This was the stuff.. I ran into the music room and put it on the big system. I had been in a funk believing there was nothing of any value or quality in contemporary music. You shattered that illusion with music that was so invigorating , tight, skillful and downright fun. Great to see you at Rick's place.
Musicians are the WORST audience to have though, they never lose themselves in the music like a "normal" fan would/does! They just stare at the band playing, working out their techniques, analysing the styles and seeing/hearing if there's anything they can use themselves! Then their partner nudges/pokes them in the ribs..and says...."Song's finished!?!" Replied by "oh yeah! Sorry!" 🤷♂️🤦♂️🙈🤣🤣🤣
Lyle Mays ended up removed from the music scene, disillusioned. He was never recognized in life for the value of what he did, personally I think he is one of the best pianists after Bill Evans. Not only in his quality as a pianist but in the innovativeness of his sounds. Lyle was also a great person, a great gourmet and coach of his city's children's soccer team. Speaking of musicians, Milton Nascimento told me what a wonderful person he was. I miss his presence every day.
@@humanactivated1017 U really being sarcastic right? As i had no intention that anyone in their right mind would really believe they are not from earth...lol...How old are you?
My faith that 'real' musicians still exist and there are younger generations of them is greatly affirmed by guys like this - three great musicians. As always Rick - a really good interview. thank you
'Work Shit Out' is a masterclass in music on so many levels: composition, arranging, musicianship, production, etc. Rick, I would love to see/hear you do a breakdown of this song. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it - and it still floors me after multiple listens.
Such dopey lyrics, then an insanely great impressionistic Chopinesque/Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny Group piano solo, then the greatest drum solo ever to be hidden inside a pop song, then it ends all too soon. I wish it had a face-melting Henrik Linder bass solo as well.
I remember the first time I heard Dirty Loops on UA-cam, that first black and white video, I was backstage at a festival in Switzerland and I grabbed the rest of the band and shared it around everyone to see… these guys are ‘musicians musicians’ we all agreed. Fast forward to several years later we were doing a show in Japan and Dirty Loops were in town also doing a show the following night. We invited them to ours, and then we went to theirs. Top humans in real life too!
HOLY CRAP. After watching YOUR interview I've spent the next few hours educating myself on the music of Dirty Loops. THANK YOU RICK Great music is indeed being made by these incredible YOUNG musicians. As soon as they mentioned Lyle Mays I knew "this aint just some average band."
These guys are brilliant. The Turbo album that they did with Cory Wong during the pandemic was absolutely dope too, considering they did it all remotely.
Agree. It was also an unexpected collab. I managed to discover a lot of music during Covid lockdowns! But I’m glad I can see my favourite local jazz band (The Consouls) do their vgm jazz thing live again. Streams are great but nothing beats being in the room.
One of the funnest , coolist , Amazing bands, I ever have heard and seen. Don't you 3 guys ever break up. ........................... Be like the Stones and just do this special gift you have for thousands of people for decades. Sincerely, from 71 year old North Texas drummer, and Producer of 18 real albums. Ps. I Brought back the "acoustic" 360/361 bass amp. Cool.
Thousands upon thousands of bands put up videos online. The difference is some bands are just so good, that once it starts playing, the person listening is fully engaged. The first time I saw a Dirty Loop video it was the Baby tune... and it was insanely great and I watched it many times.
100% this. Its not about marketing with technical music. Its about mixing. Composition, video quality, and talent. With pop bands its just who you know
Within seconds of hearing Dirty Loops for the first time, I realized I will never be anything close to what you can call "talented" when it comes to music. Three of the most brilliant minds you will find. Looking forward to listening to this one
I just saw them in Vancouver. I'm not typically keen on rock concerts that demand hours of standing, but as a novice bass player, I couldn't pass up the chance to witness a bass god up close. The next day's backache? Completely worth it!
As an old timer jazz pianist, it gives me a good feeling that so many fusion, jazz, funk bands are having a lot of success with young listeners. It would seem the public has a more sophisticated listening taste than I used to give them credit for.
I guess with things like Spotify and You Tube it's a lot easier to get exposed to these genres. It doesn't cost anything to listen and unlike myself, I was always very picky with my album purchase back in the day and likely missed out on a lot.
We saw them live in San Francisco in 2014 just as they were getting started. Saw them again last week. So stoked at the success and recognition they are getting
I discovered them through that NAMM performance of Just Dance. And that's when Henrik became my favorite bassist ever. He thumps, slaps, nails killer pulloffs, and harmonics. On a six string Mattison with tempered frets. He is a bassist's bassist.
Saw them live 10 years ago in Denver and again a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to meet them. They are sooooo nice and generous. They have been my FAVORITE band since their first UA-cam videos. I REALLY hope they don't wait another 10 years to return to the USA!
I love their original music! I was talking with my bassist about Dirty Loops and how they should be on the charts instead of boring TikTok loops. Incredible playing and vocals.
maybe controversial, but i think they're better off not being tiktok stars. i mean... they have their way more invested and loyal audience, they pack the places they perform at, make probably way above average living by doing what they love and most importantly they are by no means influenced by external feedback. i guess, if they would go superfamous worldwide, not on purpose, but because of the ever-rising expectations and the statistics, they would care a lot more about what the general public thinks (still saying, it's just human nature). now instead of the bigger half of the world's population, they attract a very targeted crowd, which leaves room for way more artistic freedom. and it's just an added plus that they probably don't have to separate themselves entirely from the outside world like the most known celebrities do, i mean gazillions of dollars and all, but if you can't go out to the streets without being ambushed by fans it's like living in a jail cell.
One of my favorite artists from Sweden that nearly NOBODY knows about, Salem Al Fakir, opened my eyes to the incredible talent coming from that country! Discovered him around the mid 2000s and had a similar sound to Dirty Loops, less on the jazz fusion but heavy on the soul/r&b, gospel, and rock, but production style was very similar. He’s mainly a violinist, so the depth of his music stems mostly from orchestral styles. Sweden is definitely powerhouse of musicians!
@@ingefiddle definitely check out his first album This Is Who I Am. It’s not on any streaming service unfortunately 😞 It’s here on YT or I’m sure you can find a bootleg somewhere. It’s definitely an unskipable album! I promise you won’t skip a track. Although, his voice might throw you off in the beginning. I know it did for me lol
Two things: Social media is obviously the modern way for artists to promote their work but the artists talked about, Jacob, Vulf, Snarky, Corey and DL are the most talented musicians in the world today who also have the visual production talent as well. Another thing they all have in common which I believe is natural because of their talents is widespread collaboration. And please let me tell you a quick DL story; We purchased their M&G package really only to get early admission because there’s no way we weren’t getting to the rail for their show. I am not a musician, I can only play the volume knob on my stereo but these three men were so gracious. They were actually standing in front of the stage waiting to greet our group as we entered the venue. They made a point to shake hands and greet everybody individually. They invited the group on stage to see and talk about all the gear. They were so humble and so welcoming. As people they left such a positive impression on me. As for the shows, I’ve seen all of the modern musicians mentioned and DL certainty fits in this elite group of musicians. I wish they played more shows in the Northeast on this tour. We did two shows and I tried and tried to get to more but timing and last minute expensive flights just couldn’t work for me. I hope they come back this way sooner than later!! We saw JC last night and we’ll also see him in NYC Friday night. I didn’t think it was possible for JC to perform better than the last tour but he has raised the bar again!! Or as we all know, musically He is “the bar”. Stunning performance on many levels. Just like the lyric Lin wrote; “Look around…. We’re so lucky to be alive right now” Rock on!!
Great stories, Brian! Great comment and thoughts too 👍 I have yet to see DLoops or Jacob live, but think these would be the performances of a lifetime! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
These guys’ talent speaks for itself…. But I’m glad social media has served them (and the world) so well, in getting their music to us. Thank you, Rick and Dirty Loops.
Great interview! And that note that Jonah hits in Breakdown is actually Bb5. Just a little more than two octaves below the right end of an 88 key grand piano (which would be C8). Damn impressive! And the way he cries it is beautiful.
I would have not heard of Dirty Loops were it not for UA-cam. I was watching various bass players like Federico Malaman, drummers like Gergo Borlai, keyboard players like Valeriy Stepanov, etc. and the UA-cam algorithm suggested that I might like this band. The algorithm was correct! I love Dirty Loops. Excellent musicians and great music.
Valeriy is beyond outstanding, a true virtuoso who can play ALL the instruments. Sadly here in the west, nobody gives Russians the respect they deserve as the world-class musicians they are... can't we all just get along?
@@asb3pe Russians are not their current thug warmongering dictator-for-life government. Emigrate, denounce Putin, feature blue-over-yellow and "Slava Ukraini" and everyone will get along fine. Easier said than done, I know.
I always felt there were two outstanding bands from the last decade still to be interviewed by your goodself. Ok, you got the Loops and now we just need an interview with Knower!
I was SO happy to see these guys in your studio!! I only recently became aware of Dirty Loops. I was (and I remain) absolutely floored by these guys! I have introduced them to anyone who will listen! Thank you for this interview! (edited to add... After hearing Jona mention the Metheny tune Heat of the Day. I listened. I could HEAR how that inspires Jonah to this day. Amazing!)
I was watching (For about the 50th time) DL playing "Work Sh*t Out" and as Jonah was doing his solo, I thought to myself "He would probably be a FANTASTIC movie score writer" And here he is, saying he wants to get into movie score composing!
I feel like I've been living under a rock. Why have I never heard of Dirty Loops? Thank you so much Rick for the interview. I'm listening to everything they have done and they are amazing. I definItely hear Lyle Mays in Jonah's playing. In some of their early videos, the arrangements sound to me like some of the things Ross and Gino Vanelli did in the 70s only much funkier.
Growing up with music and actually allowing your children to study and then pursue a career in music - it's unheard of these days. But it did make some phenomenal bands.
This is definitely the best band of the last decade! I discovered them while searching for a cover of Rolling in the Deep. Henrik Linder is my favorite bassist.
These guys are so fun to listen to-I love the fact that they are so talented and play and sing on such a high level…but even better-it’s music that is so fun and melodic!!! Love me some Dirty Loops!!!!!
Dirty Loops might be easily the best trio on the planet. Beyond their superb musicianship, this guys knows each other from forever. That kind of complicity when they communicate easily without talking while they play.
I've loved this band since first contact, and I know a LOT of drummers here in Brazil who really never got the approach to tuning their kit, but I did, so really surprised to hear that the problem is not so local. If ever around I would be honored to tweak your DW, the only kit I would trade for mine. Best of luck to the band and congrats on the channel.
Sooo glad you got these guys on Rick and they deserve the exposure that your channel offers them so much 👏🏻👏🏻 Amazing musicians and so humble considering how gifted they are. REN is another artist who has done an amazing job at promoting his music on social media, especially UA-cam.
Incredible band. Took my daughter to see them about 10 years ago in Toronto. I was in my late 50s and she was mid 20's and we both loved them. In fact after the concert she said this is my new favorite band.
This band brought me out of a terrible funk a few years back. I heard 'Follow the Light' and Dirty Loops changed my life. I went through their entire catalogue and was blown away by the quality of their music. I wish they would come to Australia. I'd love to see them live. That would be amazing.
These guys are amazing. I haven't kept up with what they've been doing, but those covers they did a few years ago blew my mind. They also recorded the best version of the Samsung Galaxy theme song.
I saw these guys at Irving Plaza a couple weeks ago. I bought tickets after seeing maybe three of their videos on YT and being blown away-- their cover of 'Thriller' with Corey Wong locked it down. They put on a hell of a show-- three massively talented guys. TIt will be nice to remember having seen them in one of my favorite venues when I can't afford to see them at MSG in a few years.
I am happy that Aron mention Yellowjackets Will Kennedy. He was one of the first drummers I fell in love with, besides Steve Smith. ’. Fughin loved Yellowjacket back then. And still :) Aron is a rock in DL. Talk more about him!
I LOVE Dirty Loops!! Thank you SO much for doing this interview, Rick!! And I hope that my two favorite groups work together a lot: Valeriy Stepanov and Dirty Loops! :)
This is such a great interview! Hearing Dirty Loops talk about bands like Pat Metheny Group (especially the Imaginary Day album which is my personal favorite), ToTo, Brecker Brothers and Chick Corea… made me stupidly giddy.
An excellent interview with an awesomely talented group of musicians. Thank you to Sweden for encouraging music in their children's lives - I only wish the rest of the world would be so gracious.
It made my day to see how down to earth and positively sweet these guys are. They are three of the best musicians on planet Earth, and have zero attitude or ego. I love them even more now.
These guys are insanely talented. I was so excited to hear their first couple of covers back then and played them over and over again. I even captured the audio of their videos so I could keep listening to them. For me it was their cover of 'Circus' that blew me away.
It never ceases to amaze me how Jeff Porcaro is sighted as a reference of inspiration to fusion drummers. Jeff was rarely considered a fusion player and never liked to solo but his inner clock and feel for what a song needed was the reason he stayed so busy. This and future generations are so blessed that his work still inspires to this day.
…everyone politician in Sweden that wants to cut down the contribution for culture and musicschools should listen to this. Music education and the ability to borrow intrument and have place for rehersal is SO important! 🙌🇸🇪
Wow! I hoped for that a very long time. I am a huge fan of Dirty Loops, saw them a few times live, and they are just breathtaking. I am so happy to see them together with Rick! Thank you!
Love your channels, Rick. Loved the Copeland, Sting and Metheny interview. Didn't know that Shape Of My Heart was drawn from Bach inspiration. Your questions are on point and seems to come from a pure place of curiosity. And we LOVE Dirty Loops in the band. It says it all that you chose to cover them also.
Wonderful Rick. Greatly appreciated. I have been on the DL bandwagon for about 5 years and I'm so happy for their continued success. They seem like wonderful, well-grounded lads. Very humble and fun to be around.
11:47 The Heat Of The Day... Un morceau qui m'a marqué rythmiquement comme jamais, qui m'a notamment fait développer grandement ma technique vocale. Quelle référence. Excellent.
We had a great time! Thank you so much for having us Rick!!
You guys are amazing, my 9 and 6 year old love your music, keep it coming, hopefully you play in Australia soon 😁✌️🙏
Great interview 👏👏👏🥂
A few years back a friend sent me a link to Work Shit Out which I got at 4am. I was so blown away just listening on the tablet. This was the stuff.. I ran into the music room and put it on the big system. I had been in a funk believing there was nothing of any value or quality in contemporary music. You shattered that illusion with music that was so invigorating , tight, skillful and downright fun. Great to see you at Rick's place.
you guys are great musicians! just keep going!
Thank you for signing my bass backplate in Chicago! The one with the purple lights in the neck. Amazing gig!!!
Just saw them in Nashville, those guys are TIGHT. You also wouldn't be shocked that there wasn't a single non musician in the crowd lol.
Dirty Loops makes music for musicians. The only way I can put it. It's amazing.
Saw them in Charlotte, NC a few years back. They’re all so skilled it’s crazy
Saw in SF 2 weeks ago. They asked musicians to raise their hands and all went up
Musicians are the WORST audience to have though, they never lose themselves in the music like a "normal" fan would/does! They just stare at the band playing, working out their techniques, analysing the styles and seeing/hearing if there's anything they can use themselves! Then their partner nudges/pokes them in the ribs..and says...."Song's finished!?!" Replied by "oh yeah! Sorry!" 🤷♂️🤦♂️🙈🤣🤣🤣
Discovered them a few days ago. If I knew about the Nashville show I would have gone!
First influence Jonah named is Lyle Mays. So happy always to hear Lyle's name. I hear it in Jonah's playing!
Lyle Mays ended up removed from the music scene, disillusioned. He was never recognized in life for the value of what he did, personally I think he is one of the best pianists after Bill Evans.
Not only in his quality as a pianist but in the innovativeness of his sounds. Lyle was also a great person, a great gourmet and coach of his city's children's soccer team. Speaking of musicians, Milton Nascimento told me what a wonderful person he was. I miss his presence every day.
the influence is noticeable
Absolutely! You can especially hear the Lyle Mays influence in Jonah's "Work Shit Out" piano solo.
Oh he only named ledgends hey? Aha great stuff
@@DougRawady ... or his "Forever Young" synth solo...
Such an icredible Band. They deserve so much more attention.
Thank you Rick!
I think they could’ve been posted on the main channel, since they really do deserve more fans!
When everyone is the best musician in the band! Spectacular musicians
Dirty Loops are from another planet...Their musicianship/creativity are like no other......One of the dopest band in the world.
They are not from another Romany they are from Sveeden.
@@humanactivated1017 U really being sarcastic right? As i had no intention that anyone in their right mind would really believe they are not from earth...lol...How old are you?
My faith that 'real' musicians still exist and there are younger generations of them is greatly affirmed by guys like this - three great musicians. As always Rick - a really good interview. thank you
A band made for musicians. Love it.
Finally, Dirty Loops at Rick Beato, been waiting for years!
Same 👍
Same here! 😃🥳
and why exactly is this on RickBeato2 rather than on the main channel? Is this somehow suggesting it is "lighter stuff"?
True humble artists. Free from social media. Only focused on music THANK YOU!!!!
Just saw Dirty Loops live a month or so ago and barely knew who they were. They were absolutely fucking incredible. Just unreal.
An absolutely amazing band. Their musicianship is off the charts.
'Work Shit Out' is a masterclass in music on so many levels: composition, arranging, musicianship, production, etc. Rick, I would love to see/hear you do a breakdown of this song. My jaw dropped the first time I heard it - and it still floors me after multiple listens.
Such dopey lyrics, then an insanely great impressionistic Chopinesque/Lyle Mays/Pat Metheny Group piano solo, then the greatest drum solo ever to be hidden inside a pop song, then it ends all too soon. I wish it had a face-melting Henrik Linder bass solo as well.
Yes! Work Shit Out still blows my mind. Incredible.
High fiving Henrick after a show is still by far my greatest musical achievement!
I remember the first time I heard Dirty Loops on UA-cam, that first black and white video, I was backstage at a festival in Switzerland and I grabbed the rest of the band and shared it around everyone to see… these guys are ‘musicians musicians’ we all agreed.

Thank you Rick for giving them airtime. DL has, almost single-handedly, renewed my faith in modern music.
Probably the best group I've ever seen live. These guys are unbelievably tight and leave it all on the stage
These guys cook, plain and simple ..a real band of players, rare in today's world of music
I didn’t know of their cooking videos .
@@humanactivated1017 delicious
I remember talking with some members of Tower of Power after one of their shows in 2013ish and they were mentioning how insane Dirty Loops were.
Whoa…… 👍
...now I'm thinking how crazy a Tower of Power & Dirty Loops collab would be.
@@ElijahRock92 great idea! I could ask Tower!
Proud to be Swedish! Tack Rick Beato, du är en fantastisk intervjuare.🤩
Humble (major) talent is so infectious! These guys are a breath of fresh air.
Thousands upon thousands of bands put up videos online. The difference is some bands are just so good, that once it starts playing, the person listening is fully engaged. The first time I saw a Dirty Loop video it was the Baby tune... and it was insanely great and I watched it many times.
Love their Lady Gaga cover of “Just Dance” as well!
Damn, every single one of their covers and songs!! 🔥🔥🔥
100% this. Its not about marketing with technical music. Its about mixing. Composition, video quality, and talent.
With pop bands its just who you know
30:47 I love the awkward and shy faces when they present the song to Rick. Love Dirty loops and this new skrillex style
They certainly aren't full of themselves, really down to earth nice guys.
Within seconds of hearing Dirty Loops for the first time, I realized I will never be anything close to what you can call "talented" when it comes to music. Three of the most brilliant minds you will find. Looking forward to listening to this one
I think you also Would love Dream Theatre band. Talented too.
@@hemmatv1582 Know them well ^^ Appreciate the comment tho
I just saw them in Vancouver. I'm not typically keen on rock concerts that demand hours of standing, but as a novice bass player, I couldn't pass up the chance to witness a bass god up close. The next day's backache? Completely worth it!
Literally my favorite band right now. Dirty Loops are unreal.
Dirty Loops changed a lot things in music. It’s beautiful. Thank you Dirty Loops.
These guys are absolutely phenomenal musicians. Every song they release is mindblowing. Also, pluss points for great sense of subtle humor.
As an old timer jazz pianist, it gives me a good feeling that so many fusion, jazz, funk bands are having a lot of success with young listeners. It would seem the public has a more sophisticated listening taste than I used to give them credit for.
I feel that too. There is hope for the future in some of the young.
I guess with things like Spotify and You Tube it's a lot easier to get exposed to these genres. It doesn't cost anything to listen and unlike myself, I was always very picky with my album purchase back in the day and likely missed out on a lot.
Musics better than it's ever been, you just have to dig a bit, stay young!!
Arron's drums always have the Porcaro tuned sound. Love it !
Whoever Aron's drum tech is is a complete boss. Went to their Denver show, and that snare was the best sounding snare I've ever heard. Holy cow.
Speaking of holy cows, there are "moo" sound Easter eggs in at least two of their videos.
Wholesome swedish music geniuses at work! 🤩👌🏻
We saw them live in San Francisco in 2014 just as they were getting started. Saw them again last week. So stoked at the success and recognition they are getting

Dirty Loops is a modern-day Rush making dance pop, and it's glorious.

I was watching (For about the 50th time) DL playing "Work Sh*t Out" and as Jonah was doing his solo, I thought to myself "He would probably be a FANTASTIC movie score writer"
And here he is, saying he wants to get into movie score composing!
His Phrasing and expression is way beyond his years. That spatial section in WSO is mindblastingly mature...
I feel like I've been living under a rock. Why have I never heard of Dirty Loops? Thank you so much Rick for the interview. I'm listening to everything they have done and they are amazing. I definItely hear Lyle Mays in Jonah's playing. In some of their early videos, the arrangements sound to me like some of the things Ross and Gino Vanelli did in the 70s only much funkier.
Growing up with music and actually allowing your children to study and then pursue a career in music - it's unheard of these days.
But it did make some phenomenal bands.
This is definitely the best band of the last decade! I discovered them while searching for a cover of Rolling in the Deep. Henrik Linder is my favorite bassist.
I found the loops on youtube. I was amazed. You don’t get artists of this quality on radio. Have bought their albums. Really sensational band.
These guys are so fun to listen to-I love the fact that they are so talented and play and sing on such a high level…but even better-it’s music that is so fun and melodic!!! Love me some Dirty Loops!!!!!
Dirty Loops might be easily the best trio on the planet. Beyond their superb musicianship, this guys knows each other from forever. That kind of complicity when they communicate easily without talking while they play.
I've loved this band since first contact, and I know a LOT of drummers here in Brazil who really never got the approach to tuning their kit, but I did, so really surprised to hear that the problem is not so local. If ever around I would be honored to tweak your DW, the only kit I would trade for mine.
Best of luck to the band and congrats on the channel.
Love Dirty Loops 🙌
Sooo glad you got these guys on Rick and they deserve the exposure that your channel offers them so much 👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing musicians and so humble considering how gifted they are.
REN is another artist who has done an amazing job at promoting his music on social media, especially UA-cam.
Yes! From the moment I experienced listening to them, every single person - and I mean it , LITERALLY - heard me talking about them.
Haha, same here!
And now these good people are giving me their albums as birthday and Christmas presents! Yes!! 👍🤘👌🤟
Incredible band. Took my daughter to see them about 10 years ago in Toronto. I was in my late 50s and she was mid 20's and we both loved them. In fact after the concert she said this is my new favorite band.
This band brought me out of a terrible funk a few years back. I heard 'Follow the Light' and Dirty Loops changed my life. I went through their entire catalogue and was blown away by the quality of their music. I wish they would come to Australia. I'd love to see them live. That would be amazing.
So happy to see this. I've been a big fan of Dirty Loops for close to a decade now and rarely hear their name mentioned. Awesome group.
These guys are phenomenal Musicians 👌🏿
Thank you Hendrik for mentioning Anthony Jackson 👊🏿🖤
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬
Great interview!! Almost 68 and just heard these guys today!!
This is so exciting!!! I saw them in LA on April 13. They are amazing. But why didn't they make the cut to the regular Rick Beato channel?
Humble Swedes! “Jantenlagen” is alive and well with these phenomenal musicians. You guys are awesome!
These guys are amazing. I haven't kept up with what they've been doing, but those covers they did a few years ago blew my mind. They also recorded the best version of the Samsung Galaxy theme song.
That ringtone version is insane! ✌️😱🤘
"Work S**t Out" is insane. Jonah gave props to Pat Metheny Group's "The Heat of the Day," you can hear its influence. RIP Lyle Mays.
@@skierpage yes 👍
I saw these guys at Irving Plaza a couple weeks ago. I bought tickets after seeing maybe three of their videos on YT and being blown away-- their cover of 'Thriller' with Corey Wong locked it down. They put on a hell of a show-- three massively talented guys. TIt will be nice to remember having seen them in one of my favorite venues when I can't afford to see them at MSG in a few years.
I am happy that Aron mention Yellowjackets Will Kennedy. He was one of the first drummers I fell in love with, besides Steve Smith. ’. Fughin loved Yellowjacket back then. And still :)
Aron is a rock in DL. Talk more about him!
Would absolutely LOVE an interview with Aron!
I LOVE Dirty Loops!! Thank you SO much for doing this interview, Rick!! And I hope that my two favorite groups work together a lot: Valeriy Stepanov and Dirty Loops! :)
This is such a great interview! Hearing Dirty Loops talk about bands like Pat Metheny Group (especially the Imaginary Day album which is my personal favorite), ToTo, Brecker Brothers and Chick Corea… made me stupidly giddy.
Thank you, Rick. I’ve been listening to them non-stop for the last 5 years. Refreshing to hear such musical talent.
An excellent interview with an awesomely talented group of musicians. Thank you to Sweden for encouraging music in their children's lives - I only wish the rest of the world would be so gracious.
Yes… 👍
I love how the build-up to and the piano solo in Work Shit Out is a pure homage to "The Heat of the Day".
Utterly original experience listening to these guys... and they seem equally down to earth in this interview.
Love Dirty Loops! I've been following them since the Adele Rolling in the Deep cover. Amazing talented musicians!
It made my day to see how down to earth and positively sweet these guys are. They are three of the best musicians on planet Earth, and have zero attitude or ego. I love them even more now.
These guys are insanely talented. I was so excited to hear their first couple of covers back then and played them over and over again. I even captured the audio of their videos so I could keep listening to them. For me it was their cover of 'Circus' that blew me away.
Circus! Yes!
I keep writing it because it is true: You did it again, Rick! Great interview with a great band! Thank you!
It never ceases to amaze me how Jeff Porcaro is sighted as a reference of inspiration to fusion drummers. Jeff was rarely considered a fusion player and never liked to solo but his inner clock and feel for what a song needed was the reason he stayed so busy. This and future generations are so blessed that his work still inspires to this day.
have been following dirty loops since the "baby" era
they are just truly incredible, and ow gosh their Runaway song is just a masterpiece
…everyone politician in Sweden that wants to cut down the contribution for culture and musicschools should listen to this. Music education and the ability to borrow intrument and have place for rehersal is SO important! 🙌🇸🇪
This
preach!
Heinricks bass playing is sight to behold. hes up there with jaco, he is the jaco of 6 string bass
Lyle 🎹😊…even a cursory UA-cam search for Lyle demonstrates how immensely deeply musicians are impacted by him, and feel his loss 🎶
Wow! I hoped for that a very long time. I am a huge fan of Dirty Loops, saw them a few times live, and they are just breathtaking. I am so happy to see them together with Rick! Thank you!
Love your channels, Rick. Loved the Copeland, Sting and Metheny interview. Didn't know that Shape Of My Heart was drawn from Bach inspiration. Your questions are on point and seems to come from a pure place of curiosity. And we LOVE Dirty Loops in the band. It says it all that you chose to cover them also.
…and incidentally, like for so many, Bach is a great inspiration for Jonah as well….
OMG, i didn't see this coming at all! my favorite band today by miles!
Wonderful Rick. Greatly appreciated. I have been on the DL bandwagon for about 5 years and I'm so happy for their continued success. They seem like wonderful, well-grounded lads. Very humble and fun to be around.
11:47 The Heat Of The Day... Un morceau qui m'a marqué rythmiquement comme jamais, qui m'a notamment fait développer grandement ma technique vocale. Quelle référence. Excellent.
Brilliant and talented men. The type of group that’s so good it can make you sad. Always great to learn from them
