- This is probably one of the first reaction videos that I didn't really have much of a reaction more than just absolutely loving the track. Of course, I did find a few things to say :) Thanks for all your comments.

This generally is the closing track on Snarky gigs and the audience goes into the chant for minutes on end even after the band stops playing.. it's glorious.
Yes, exactly! I've been to their concert in Nürnberg two years ago and I was just blown away. I've never seen a jazz band work like that with a crowd. The best concert I've been to
Funny...about 2/3 of the way through, I was thinking to myself “what a sweet video production they got going here”. Then the vocal chant came in during LL’s drum break and I’m like “no, no, get the camera on the drummer, he’s effin killin it!” 😂🎶🦐
There's a comment on the original video about the cameras on the chanters while Larnell is "literally ripping a hole in space-time".
Snarky Puppy feat Lalah Hathaway - Something is a master class in vocal performance :)
Yup, "Something" as the name of that tune.
Her vocals will blow your mind... worth it.
You just reminded me of that. And I got goosebumps.
Definitely this. Its right up there with people hearing Jinjer for the first time. It changes how people think about the vocal instrument.
Vocals ruin Snarky Puppy songs
As a brass player, I feel like pointing this out. In the first couple minutes of the song, the trumpet player does some really nice lipbends. That’s an easy thing to learn, but NOT an easy thing to master. You have to rely on air strength, lip strength, ear training, and you have to memorize the feeling your lips make to get the air down there. Fantastic job.
Great insight. Thanks
Thank you - I was wondering what that technique was - I’ve never heard it before (that I know of).
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Jamison Felix Instablaster :)
@Tristan Giovanni i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Check "What About Me?"! It's the next song out of that Snarky Puppy's album and probably my favourite :) Maybe you've already listened to it - yeah - you said that here :D
I’ll second that nomination for What About Me? It’s an astonishing math-rock funk-jazz jam fest.
Not lingus? 👀👀😱😱
@@StefanHertw16 He did lingus first
It's a stunning composition. Trumpet solo was phenomenal. You can see the player beside him gush and congratulate him on his piece. Sitting enjoying that live must have been sensational.
Trumpet solo is 🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Oh has no one suggested 'The Brain dance' - Animals as Leaders yet? i know he will eventually hear animals as leaders but that is just beautiful fusion piece
I'd love to see him react to that! as well as other aal songs, they're phenomenal
React to DOMi and JD Beck - Nord Session tracks! Super interesting music and their skills are insane.
I owe you a beer - snarky puppy is what I was missing in my life. I don't think I would have found them with out you. Keep up the fantastic work. I love watching your videos.
Look into The Mars Volta!!!! Please
the Curtain with the metropole orkest is beautiful. I did not know about SP until i saw your first reaction. I am so glad i checked it out. They are now part of my playlist. Also Dirty Loops came on my radar from your reaction. Check out Next to You if you haven't already.
The curtain is hands down their best work.
that is the best musical performance i think i've ever heard.
this song live is so much fun with the whole audience singing near the end
I still get chills thinking about the one time I got to see them live. You're right, so much fun!
My favorite thing about the whole we like it here set is just seeing how much fun they all seem to be having. Its contagious and shows through the music
This song is so freakin’ cool. Mike League said in an interview he wrote that first guitar riff while trying to sing something Eastern-sounding, so it’s a really funky scale (B-C-D-D#-E-F#-G-A-B), and it’s really cool how he utilizes that. Listen for the C in the bass during the end of the solo section.
Re: Larnell’s snare drums. He uses three on these recordings - the other one is on the first floor tom spot and used as both a tom and snare. He got that from Sput, another Snarky Puppy drummer.
Not every video has to be a reaction. We'd love for you to do a REVIEW or ANALYSIS of some of these tunes, too. It's great to see you experience some great music for the first time but as a amateur composer/producer myself I find your commentary very educational.
Same here!
You’re awesome man. I look forward to these. Thank you.
Best music reactions on the internet, seriously appreciate your composer insights and thoughts
Decomposing and tootsie troll 😆 I respect the pun game.
🤙🤙🤙
after the first listen through, my preferred way to listen is really focusing in on each individual part or elements in the mix and finding all the hidden details. Would love to see you react to the Berklee ensemble recording of Drip by Tigran Hamasyan, wonderful blend of modern metal/jazz with Armenian folk music
Oh yes, I'd love to see him dive into Tigran's music. Though I personally prefer the shadow theatre live version of Drip; there's just something special about Areni's vocals IMO.
YES, YES, THAT! No one react to it and it's so good!
For sure. Tigran will blow your mind.
Reactions like this are in my honest opinion, the best. Love your insight, you are well spoken, well informed, easily perceivable and personable. Hope to keep seeing these. Subbed
You are such a respectful and open analyst! I've seen a lot of your videos and you always pause at the right moment to highlight what makes the song good :) Alright!
Gonna have to plug some Tigran Hamasyan again. I would recommend something along the lines of `The Grid` off Mockroot (2015) or `Nairian Odyssey` off An Ancient Observer (2017) - two very different tracks but at the same time both are extremely Tigran.
I love what you are doing for your RUclips fans, fans of music/production, and now I love what you're doing for the Shriner's kids. Keep on keepin on my Brother
Thank you very much! 🤙🤙
We love em keep them coming. Much love from cold Wisconsin
Thank you Shane!! STAY WARM - sending you Aloha 🤙
Same here, man!
Nice to see Jon Stewart getting into music
I had never heard of Snarky Puppy, but recently I had a video where Larnell Lewis listens to Enter Sandman once and then plays the drums show up on my sidebar. He got most of the song in that first listen. It was really amazing to see. So then when I see the name Snarky Puppy, the band he plays for by you, I have to listen. This is not the type of music I typically go for, but it's really, really good. I'm definitely going down this rabbit hole and see what else is out there.
As far as format of your show, I think there is room for both, but really, do what you feel the most. I'll still watch your videos and appreciate it because I know you bring just that little bit of knowledge that allows me to appreciate songs more.
I like your overall vibe! Keep doing what you're doing 😁👍🏻
Thank you Brandon 🙌
great job buddy, love you
Man, thank you for turning me onto this band!! Just crazy good.
First time watching you. Going to watch more
Ty sir. I enjoy your REAL reaction and knowledge. A pleasure.
This is the first song on the album and I think it sets such a great tone. Almost like the group is cracking their knuckles before they get to the real meat of the set. The guys who does the trumpet doesn’t even normally play trumpet, usually he’s on keys. One of my faves on the album, thanks for your content!
Love the poly-rhythm at the end too! 😀🙃😎👍
Discovered your channel because of TOOL but enjoying a lot of what you're covering. I would probably not have heard of Snarky Puppy if not for this so thank you. Enjoyed Led Boots video too! Amazing channel!
My fav this was super soothing for weeks on end when I first heared this. Glad I looked through the vid history before I suggested Snarky pup..
This song in particular is really a percussion masterclass. Adds so much to the song with such a variety of feelings
Oh man that bass walk down towards the end. So Cool.
Dude.... thank you for getting to this! So excited to see your breakdown and the freaking Dorian Mode!! I couldn't put my finger on it and you scratched that itch that has been gnawing at me regarding this song. Brought me right back to my music theory classes and that's a stretch considering I'm an "Old Dude" like you! LOL Again, thanks for getting to this one. It is my favorite chill song when I have a stressful day at the office and you described that feeling wonderfully! I agree with some of the other commenters... Snarky Puppy - feat. Lalah Hathaway "Something" from the Family Dinner sessions is vocal and instrumental symbiosis that I have rarely seen! Thank for looking out for the kids man... you have a great spirit. Please keep these coming, your videos are an oasis of pleasure in the desert that is the year 2020! Aloha brother!
Man, your videos bring me so much joy. Such positive vibes and just overall good experiences that leave me with a big smile on my face at the end of every video.
So grateful to have people like you putting this much good into the world; We need it.
Every time I think of recommending a song for you to upload, next thing I know you go and do it before I post it haha. Must mean we’re all on good musical journeys!
Agreed on the thought of going back and forth between reactions and reviews. I think there’s no need to go full “What Makes This Song Great?” on us, because like you said, this is about bringing the layman into the behind-the-scenes magic; Leave the music science for the other channels (which I also love).
Anyway, greetings from Minnesota. Aloha! 🤙
Thank you so much, Felipe!
This is great music, thank you very much for bringing this up. This is something for hanging around in a hammock on a sunday afternoon. Very bluesy, very rhythmic, very talented. And by the way, I've learnt a new term: Shofukan. :)
Your channel is a gateway drug to awesome music
Just discovered these videos, very nice.
I love your videos man! You really describe and point out things alot of people miss out on and never really think about. Been supporting for a while and definitely will continue the support. Keep doing what you do 🙏🏼🌸
I appreciate that!
A new band into my brain. And I will be diggin' deeper into their catalog, thanks to you. Keep it coming.
I have to wonder, what might you think of a band like Lake Street Dive? I suggest the song "better than". One of my favorites, and very different from what I have seen here so far.
I've just find out about these guys. Thanks! They are awesome :)
gotta join the folks that say you should just keep going at the end.. we are in the zone.. you are such a gifted teacher.. that is the heart of these videos.. teaching.. the sharing of knowledge, right?
Love the channel brother
Glad you enjoy it!
I found your channel because I’m a Snarky Puppy fan, but I also really appreciate your easy-going persona here, so I think I’ll stick around 😃 Also I have done some gigs on Oahu and I absolutely love that vibe out there which I comes through on this channel, so Aloha from a pianist and singer in Nashville 🤙🤙
Dirty Loops - "Breakdown" or "World on Fire".
Or Next To You!
Breakdown is insane man
Interesting note, Larnell actually has three snare drums on that kit. Obviously his main snare and the 'fx' snare (smaller to his left with the splash cymbal).
The third one is actually where his first floor Tom would be. It's a deep 14 inch snare, detuned so as to sit right where a 14 inch floor would sonically and with snares off, but with snares on it gives a big beefy low snare sound.
It's a trick Larnell picked up from Sput, who also plays for snarky puppy (amongst others).
Just found your channel through the snarky puppy and Mars Volta videos. Both massive influences on my playing, nice to see/hear your views. Keep up the good work buddy.
This was soooooo smooth! I'd love to see you react to some Gojira. Either "Flying Wales" or "The art of dying"
Can't wait for your next Snarky Puppy reaction!
It made me weep happy tears when I listened to it.
I totally love what you're doing here, Bro. And since you mentioned the Tower of Power Horns, I've been thinking of The Fearless Flyers as the new Tower, with Snarky P's Mark Lettieri and Vulfpeck's Cory Wong and Joe Dart combining forces with a three-sax line-up and a KILLER drummer. I think you might like them. A LOT.
It would be amazing to see you react to anything from Snarky Puppy's collab with Metropole Orkest. The Curtain or The Clearing are great pieces of work and I think you'd enjoy them a lot. Cheers to you sir
This video is perfect!! Love how you let the music play and just listen! All these other music “review”/“analysis” channels pause the song every 10 seconds 😡😡😡!!!!!
14:01 can we all agree this is one of the best bass groove riffs of all time? That one moment just gives me chills every time I hear this song.
definitely
What a great group!
Love your stuff, thanks so much for sharing. As a videographer your focus is setting off my ocd though - you're focused on the wall behind you 😁
the tone in that trumpet solo...maaaaaaaaan.
I was hoping for "another dirty loops" on that list 😅.cheers man
this is my all time favorite track of theirs. so good.
Mine too. I come back to it over and over. Justin’s solo is simply sublime.
Periphery - Reptile. Going to keep requesting it until it happens! talk about a masterpiece. Also love the content. Do as many as you want.
Yes yes yes to this. Literally anything by Periphery.
I 2nd dis
New sub here! Love the reactions and breakdowns
Loving the reactions man, would love to know some of your own background and experience as a composer!
Also, as opposed to Dorian, I found it more harmonic minor, specifically Phrygian dominant, for the section with the guitar riff at least. Cant quite figure out the other part though
Please more 🔥🔥
I would love to see you react to their song Sleeper. That's definitely the song that gave me the most vivid theater of the mind experience... a few gummies in. ;)
Yeah, i've expected for that react!!!
More Snarky Puppy please. Great stuff on the channel
Been watching since day 1 a few weeks ago when you reacted to the first tool video. Loving it. Its great to hear someone tell me about the music I love and WHY I love it
I appreciate that!
@@KeyOfGeebz Tool is my all time favorite but I know your getting to those....
For something different check out the band the Aristocrats. 3 piece instrumental consisting of Guthrie Goven, Marco Minneman and Brian Beller (GG, MM & BB). I would start with the title track of their album Culture Clash. I think they each have 12 arms...
@@KeyOfGeebz You should really check this one out! The song is named after an actual event that happened sometime in the 1800's I believe
ruclips.net/video/nksxesA8fx8/видео.html
This is excellent 👍🏻
Doooooooooood!!! :)
LOVE this track. Feels like it gets overlooked, but maybe that's just in my small circle of awareness.
Listen to bad kids to the back from the new snarky puppy album - it’s a great amalgamation of their style - it also has three drummers (I’m a drummer so that’s my favourite bit)
Nice one, Thing of Gold is a nice, happy Snarky Puppy song, one of my favs innit
You're doing great. Thanks for doing stuff like stepping back the video after you've paused and generally being into growing and changing. I landed here because I was watching reactions to Lingus and I've enjoyed seeing the other music you've been checking out. Reviews wouldn't be bad but I like the reactions because they're a lighter mental load for everyone involved.
While I'm here I'll say check out Kamasi Washington. The Epic, just all of it.
I can't wait to hear what you have to say about Bob Reynolds' sax solo in Outlier.
loved that little nod to Zappa or something similar with the vocals
2 seconds into the video, (2nd time i noticed this) the sun coming thru the blinds is such a good feel on the video side of things but i am here for the content, so forget that.. haha
All I hear make remember the first time I've heard Billy Cobham's Spectrum back on 1973...!!!!!
Mkay. Self-taught and still learning, and just found your channel. I like your physicality. You remind me of my Uncle Bob. :) Which is to say, you seem like someone to get high with and listen to music and maybe even make some, together. Very secure and chill, and so able to get your ego the f out of the way so that some good stuff can happen. It's hard to find people who can do that and it's sometimes hard for me to do. It gets easier with practice.
I believe it’s Phrygian, not Dorian - lots of flat 2nds
True, it is Phrygian - my brain was in the wrong key when I said it - Old composer fail.....
so glad this comment was here. also was thinking phrygian so when he said dorian, i felt a flash of confusion and disappointment in my ears and then a bunch of tension about it and had to pause and scroll the comments as im listening without my instrument to quickly check lol
I’m impressed with all of you knowing that
Hey! I was gonna be that guy!
@@Mikebumpful I'm gonna be that guy again: Phrygian *Dominant ;)
The D is in there a bit, particularly in the guitar hook, but the D# is much more of a feature
I believe Mike told me once, that this composition was inspired by a venue named Shofukan, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. You should look it up!
Hey man!
By far my favorite youtuber, when it comes to reaction to music kind of youtubers. Keep the good work!!
A suggestion for you to react or, at least, hear: Flood by Snarky Puppy
Cheers!
Glad to find your channel through my love of the band. I hope you get a chance to check out another album they have recorded on video called Sylva. "The Curtain" off of that would be a great reaction to be sure! 🤙
Don't worry buddy, you can't mention everything on the first listen, you do an absolutely marvellous job. [for all your vids!]
Omg... Tool army soldier here.. You brought me here... What a miracle is this? Thank and greetings from greece
Beautiful videos! Would love to see some King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard on here, and more psych stuff in general! Keep it up!
I love snarky puppy. I had no idea that kids growing up on rock music and going to jazz studies programs would produce such fantastic music.
The tootsie troll joke was adorable. Don't ever change, lol!
I understand what you're saying about the Dorian "vibe" but this very clearly has a b2 going on which lends more towards Phrygian in my mind. It has a very exotic flavor to me.
YES!!! No way is this Dorian... it’s Vth mode of Harmonic Minor... nice pick up!!
Any chance for some Leprous? One of the most unique and groundbreaking bands the last couple of years imo. Amazing musicians all around in that band.
Snarky Puppy - The Clearing, from the SYLVA album with Metropole Orkest... it's mandatory to see !
Hi another Old fella here. Really enjoying your reactions, and even your “non-reactions“. You have a wealth of knowledge thank you so much for sharing. I for one would be very happy for you to do more in-depth discussions of the music. Also less heavy metal would be my preference. But thanks again very enjoyable and interesting.
I love this song, and I wasn't really sure why at first.
Then I realized it reminds me of Chuck Mangione- especially with the flugelhorns- but also because it's got that middle-eastern feel to it that just sounds like a band of gypsies coming through town.
Would love to see you react to Chuck Mangione's "Bellavia." So many good vibes there. Chuck was known for the amazing band he could put together, and this is right up that alley.
When I saw Snarky live in Memphis, they closed with this, before the "Lingus" encore. Hearing the whole crowd singing the final chorus was uplifting. That 5/4 luck in the guitar had to be handled by the lone guitarist on the gig, Mark Lettieri, the guitarist in the middle here. Michael used that lick to introduce the band over, so Mark had to keep it up, by himself, for around 3 minutes. Mark has said his hands have cramped up several times doing that.
Just subscribed. Nice reaction. I've watched 4 or 5 from you so far. We're close to the same age, so I have enjoyed some of your references. Been a fan of Snarky Puppy for many years. Justin Stanton, that you mentioned in you analysis (one of the trumpet players/keyboardists, grew up in our area. I'm a local band director, so I remember him when he was in high school and in undergrad at ETSU. Since you like percussionists, have you listened to an older group called "The Rippingtons"? They have a good percussionist as well. Also, if you want to hear some different music from Snarky Puppy, check out their 2 "Family Dinner" albums featuring different vocalists on each tune.
Love the channel brother the next Snarky track HAS to be Something featuring Layla Hathaway! Prepare to have your brain exploded!
Keep it goin.
This is very Incredible Band....
