And again a different take, or view, on that song, coming from a guitar player… Cory Wong stays more in the background here, as he does in a lot of songs, even with his own bands. But check him out, Brian. He is fantastic, the bands he’s playing with are all fantastic. The horns here are part of Horn Heads, a group of excellent session players who toured and recorded with many great musicians, including Prince. And Cory has done at least one video of him playing a Prince guitar-. You mentioned that it would be hard standing toe to toe with Henrik. And that’s right-except they weren’t. This collab came about during the pandemic, when Cory asked the Loops if they wanted to do a cover of Thriller, -and why not do a whole album together. This album here, Turbo, is the result. Because no one could travel, the whole thing was entirely written, arranged, recorded and filmed on two different continents. Cory and his horns were sitting in the US, the Loops in Sweden They communicated and sent files etc. all via the net. Afterwards Aron edited the whole video so it looks as though they’re together on one stage. Four of the tracks on Turbo come with a music video. Apart from this one, there is “Thriller”, “Ring of Saturn” and the title track “Turbo”. All of them are pretty insane. Might want to check out “Thriller” next 👍
Great reaction yet again! Ok, now i´m a subscriber! Funny you should mention "Thriller", they did an excellent version of that song in that very collaboration, check it out. Thank´s
Great getting some insight on Cory's guitar playing - looking forward to the next reaction. And thank you for reminding me of "So" - I think I have to revisit Peter Gabriel... :-)
I am not a guitarist so please excuse if I get the terminology wrong. It seems to me that Cory Wong has become a celebrity guitarist playing primarily rhythm guitar as opposed to lead guitar. Bands seem to want him for his rhythm work. Are there other guitar players who are famous as rhythm as opposed to lead players?
Nile Rodgers and Bob Weir are that come to mind. There are many more. Lots of funk players do cool percussive single string type playing that could be considered solos. The best solos are a complete of rhythm, melody and unique notes. Without rhythm you have something else. Thanks for the comment.

Key change in the last moment is so stunning!
Oddly enough, Corey was in the US while Henrik was in Sweden for this recording....matched sets, a convincing illusion.
That’s really amazing, obviously I had no idea. Thanks you for the details.

Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it.
Man I love that bass tone cutting through. It does has a Michael Jackson feel to it. Thanks for doing this one Brian!
