Fucking delightful… I saw this was posted earlier and I purposefully waited for your reaction to listen for the first time. So glad I did. These fellas do not disappoint. I was grinning from ear to ear. It’s already stuck in my head and I’ll have this on repeat all day.
Most importantly, this is a Dirty Loops song. So, this uplifting feel-good love song is actually about running away screaming from your girlfriend/boyfriend. Consider your head fucked with. It's goddamn genius is what it is, in so many ways.
Henrik was always an insane bass player in my mind, but this song launched him into some very elite company in my mind. this puts him in the realm with the likes of Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey in my mind. that section after the intro is just INSANE.
Wow, Yeah!!! So glad to listen new a song from this super-funky-group. As a Swede living in the very same town as this awesome band I am just both happy and proud to listen to this great new groove and coords and all of it. A bit of new themes in it. Like it a lot. Since I am a leader of spinning-classes and have given the training that extra level of energy through a long series of Dirty Loops songs this gives a lot of new energy. So happy to put this into the mix.
Once again, I always appreciate your reviews for both the keen insights (Henrik’s pink strings) and pause-less commentary. Notwithstanding your remark at the end, me thinks thou wilst be looping this.
YES *_GLORIOUS_* Anthemic 80s Stadium Rock, with every possible visual cliché. It's both a Joyous Parody and Homage. The extra hands look like cheap, hinky, props from UK BBC TV 1960s "Dr Who" SciFi series. Jonah playing both the 'boy band', and 'keyboard god' cards. Aron with the joke kit, sweatband and 'muscles' T. Totally Joyous for the eyes, and Fun to listen to. Best Wishes, ☮
Yes! Glorious is the word. I'm so happy for this new one - and of course keeping my fingers crossed that they will release a few more in the near future. Thanks, Steve! Cheers ✨
Watched it when it first came out yesterday and had 2 thoughts....my first thought was 80's hair band-ish parody done beautifully, epic chords, fantastic light show, Henrik WTF.....and my second thought was oh fck I can't wait to watch Steve react to it. Lol. I've listened to it probably 5 times now have giggled through every one so far. I'm sure you know they have a US tour on now. They're coming within 4 hours of me on April 20th. Only way I miss it is if I'm dead. Period.
@SteveOGRock I'm interviewing Henrik for my podcast in a few weeks. Anything you think I should ask? We're going to do a breakdown of this song. To hear it when it drops, check out Journey to the Stage with Bryan Frazier on any podcast platform.
Hey Bryan, looking forward to you dropping that interview. One question I would have: how did Henrik come up with those solo lines? And what part in writing them did Aron play? They hook in so well and flawless with Aron’s drum lines and fills….
So part of me would have liked a bit more traditional approach, with an actual verse perhaps, as that would probably have lend it self to making the song a bit more approachable, but still an incredible display of talent, and I've listened to it like 10-12 times already, and seen 3 reaction videos. (One of my favorite guilty pleasures are pouring a glass of red, sitting down on the couch, watching DL reaction videoes on RUclips, and then watch most musicians just startto reevaluate all their life choices 😅)... Man I look forward to the next one... (Also. Jonah is totally going for a Elton John look)
Haha, that sounds like a time! Especially with a bit of vino in the mix. And I agree; the song structure is insane. It's like: - * The vocal section at the start is the verse, except it's really a chorus in disguise * The verse builds to a bass solos the first two times, in place of a chorus * We then get a key change'd verse instead of the traditional chorus, but with the changed drum pattern it then becomes apparent that this is actually the chorus. It was a verse earlier on, but now it's a chorus. Mental * Then the song just ends. No real room for a solo, as we've already had two ridiculous ones, and the third verse-chorus already had the vibe of a bridge somehow, as it sounded so different from the first two times They're definitely marching to the beat of their own drum (or in Aaron's case 10,000 drums). After a few listens, and getting more used to hearing this bonkers song structure, I can't deny that they've somehow made it work. I think it's just very subversive and unfamiliar at first obviously. Although that sensation that the song just ends prematurely and that something isn't quite complete hasn't left me yet, so perhaps it doesn't quite work after all -- I dunno. What I do know though is that they're clearly willing to take a punt on some kind of weird, experimental song structure, which I think is commendable!
Yes!! Finally someone else sees that they are often making light of the syle of music they are associated with. These guys are such highly trained musicians that their skills surpass anything that they present to us. Quincy Jones pounced on them for good reason.
The reason that Henrik was "featured" is that he composed it. I just downloaded the song and he was listed as the composer. The only one actually on my Windows Media Player.
Actually the drummer Aron writes most of their music according to Henrik himself in an interview I did with him: ruclips.net/video/W40lkyB7fp4/видео.htmlsi=Q5I7r_h5oQvY_fFW Though perhaps Henrik gets compositional credit for chunks of the bass solo work here.
@@SteveOGRock I saw that interview and I know what you are saying about Aaron is true. I was surprised when Henrik's name and his name only filled in the Composer slot in my media player information for the song.
@@waregl72 In the credits of the video they're all listed as composers though. No idea why it only lists him on your media player though, and it's not yet up on Tidal 😤 so I can't check whether it's the same there. Maybe he wrote most of it?
Heard it twice now and don’t really know what I think about it, but I have a feeling it will grow with time. But just seeing Aron in pink leggings was something 😅
"Just the credits" .... never underestimate what might be hidden in the Dirty Loops credits (not so much in this one though, but it's there) :-) Dirty Loops is amazing as always - I think they have a profound love for the 80s so I'd more call it a celebration of all the things that made the 80s ... the 80s :-)
Oh I know, their credits are usually amusing but doesn’t quite make for an entertaining reaction video segment just watching me read tiny text so I skip it when reacting 😁
@@SteveOGRock I have to disagree - I've seen several reactions that include reaction to the credits, which always makes me happy. And they are actually entertaining because it's "a part of the package" with Dirty Loops. Dirty Loops are both the phenomenal musicianship and the sense of humor in the whole video setup and editing + credits. But you're of cause free to make your reaction as you like. :-)
The lyrics are the opposite sentiment of "Next to You". That can't be an accident, can it? There's a repeating vocal thing at the end of verses (I think it is "Hey, Ah") that sounds like an exact replica, complete with the precisely the same reverb, of something I remember from the '80s. But I can't quite place it. No Quincy Jones mention in the credits. Anybody know why? I've seen a number of reaction videos for this song, and nobody says anything about Hendrik's new hair!!??
I think those lyrics you refer to are “…and I…” And yes, interesting idea about them being the opposite of the ones from “Next to you”… Henrik’s hair has been blond now for a while, so maybe people are used to it by now. He got a lot of comments back then tho ;) When asked why he’d gone blond, he said that he ‘wanted to look normal’ 😉 And I also wonder what’s happening with the Quincy thing 🤔
I like most things about Dirty Loops. I have played their songs over and over again. This song is a testament to how skilled they are. But, I think the song doesn't really take off. It's a huge carpet of beautiful sounds, yes. Maybe a little too much? Maybe I just miss their old funk.
That's how I felt too. I'm all for finding or trying new sounds but this seems like a lot of everything all the time and I can't actually appreciate what any of the band members are doing.
The epic chorus deserves a normal verse imo. Feels wasted on the bass-wanking which could have been a shorter stick or something. Want more! Coming from a huge DL fan! 👍
Well.....I am not really into this new genre or musical flavor per say as a musician. But I back them as good musicians...and know they will float back down to earth at some point. Really "busy" would be the working word here. Can't wait to see the next foray.....
Thanks a lot Steve Holy Shite Balls now I have to set my studio on FUCKING FIRE!!!!! I'll use my sticks for kindling. Now I'm going to go out and buy a Bass. Thanks Henrik. You and Steve Have Ruined My Day 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Henrik is a beast bass player. But the whole group is fun to listen to, and hope they receive the global reception on par with other mainstream artists. They frigging deserve it but fear, and expect of their reception, that they may be too fringe for many drones accustomed to watered down music these days. Fan from Oz of a several years going.
I love them and can't wait to see them later this month, but I found this one hard to get into. It's fun but definitely not as catchy or groovy as a lot of their previous stuff. I'm all for finding new sounds and evolving as a band, or trying different things, but this one didn't hit for me, at least yet. Maybe it'll take a few more listens.
Ok now I like it. 😂🤣 It took some time for my brain to adjust to that bass, but its actually a great song once your brain can compute the sound from that bass.
I am sorry. I found these guys delightful on their earlier outings. I find this simply an attempt to please the usual superficial (mostly US) fans who like "positive" music. Henryk, come on, you are a fan of Gary Willis....LESS IS MORE...
![BLACK BAG - Official Trailer [HD] - Only in Theaters March 14](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Du0Xp8WX_7I/mqdefault.jpg)
Henrik is redefining the bass as an instrument in front of our eyes.
It’s so 80s and I am 100% here for it. Henrik might be my new favorite bass player also.
Henrik’s such a legend
Has been my favorite since Loopified 😁
That last ep with work shit out was absolutely incredible though.
@@ArturoGarcia007literally
Henrik Van Halen!
They are so wonderfully silly. I was giggling the whole way through my first watch of it yesterday. Gotta love their sense of humour! 😄
Eller hur?! 😄
Aron är helt tappad och det är precis därför man älskar honom :D
@@mikaellavrell Hahahaha, det har jag inga som helst problem att tro! 😄
As someone else said in another reaction... Finally Henrik shows his other hands we all knew he had! 😱😁😎🔥🔥
And of course the humor of it!. 😁
Omg that's perfect Lol
😂
You’ve literally posted this same comment on every reaction video 😂
You may do that comment on next reaction if you wish.. Or is it a race... 😉😱😎
Over. The. Top. Epic visuals, epic humour, excessive keyboards, excessive choruses, solos, pedal effects, excessive hits/ring outs, excessive drums, excessive arms/hands (lol), excessive bass necks. Excessive 80's vibe. And yet......It's NEVER enough Dirty Loops! Loved it! Want MORE.
Fucking delightful… I saw this was posted earlier and I purposefully waited for your reaction to listen for the first time. So glad I did. These fellas do not disappoint. I was grinning from ear to ear. It’s already stuck in my head and I’ll have this on repeat all day.
Haha that’s nice to hear dude 🫶🏻
I've always suspected that Henrik has more fingers than the rest of us. Finally a video that proves it!
Love ALL your reactions to Dirty Loops!
Thanks! They’re a great band.
LOVE your reactions and especially that you DON'T stop in the middle of songs and just comment along the way (and after of course). 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And they come back with a sweeping epic banger!
I did se them live 1 week ago here in Pattaya Thailand. They are realy skilled live as you se at this studio recordings. Waiting for more
Most importantly, this is a Dirty Loops song. So, this uplifting feel-good love song is actually about running away screaming from your girlfriend/boyfriend. Consider your head fucked with. It's goddamn genius is what it is, in so many ways.
So good lol, thanks for introducing me to these guys 👏🏻
You’re welcome! It was so jolly enjoying it again with you as part of your stream.
Yeah, so good lol, thanks for introducing me to these guys 👏🏼 lmao kekwdrew
You gotta go back and listen to their stuff from 12 years ago. It’s unreal
Henrik was always an insane bass player in my mind, but this song launched him into some very elite company in my mind. this puts him in the realm with the likes of Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey in my mind. that section after the intro is just INSANE.

YES *_GLORIOUS_* Anthemic 80s Stadium Rock, with every possible visual cliché. It's both a Joyous Parody and Homage.
The extra hands look like cheap, hinky, props from UK BBC TV 1960s "Dr Who" SciFi series.
Jonah playing both the 'boy band', and 'keyboard god' cards. Aron with the joke kit, sweatband and 'muscles' T.
Totally Joyous for the eyes, and Fun to listen to.
Best Wishes, ☮
Gloriously, epicly, bonkers! So flippin´ enjoyable and fun!
As someone else said, I saw that the video had dropped earlier but wanted to watch your reaction video first. It is indeed glorious!
Ahh thank you ❤️
Yes! Glorious is the word.
I'm so happy for this new one - and of course keeping my fingers crossed that they will release a few more in the near future.
Thanks, Steve!
Cheers ✨
U got it! Great reaction watching the second time. Faboulous! Thanx!
INSANE!! And it grows..
🙌🏻🫶🏻❤️
Great reaction!
Straight fire, an awesome surprise
I think Henrik forgot he plays bass and went full on Van Halen and Steve Vai. This is absolute fire!

Loved the reaction! Pure joy!
My go-to - reactor to maximise the joy of another Dirty Loop experience. And you didn't disappoint. I feel fine. 🥰☺
That’s so wonderful to hear, thank you ❤️
FLAWLESS! So AWESOME!
Glorious is such a great description of this
The giant cigarette in the bass headstock is perfect.
Wow! First, the Best thing about Dirty Loops is their unpredictability! Give us something different,Please!!!
And of course, They Delivered! Bravo!😹
The more i hear it, the more I like it...😊
Same!
The FUCKING splits!!!!!🤘🤘🤘
I hate to steal your quote Steve but every time (at least 25) I watch it, It plucks my SOUL!!!!
😁
Haha, yeah, totally right ☺️👍
I think this is Dirty Loops going super mainstream, but just for fun. It’s really both fantastic and fun, and real entertainment.
These guys know a lot about harmony. In some rock parts it reminds me of the sound of the Canadian band Rush.
They are something!!!!! I can't find words. I'm gonna burn my sticks😂
Same 🥁🔥
I wanna play that drumkit so badly too😅

"GLORIOUS" indeed!
This shit is fresh..

I didn't know I needed The 1975 on steroids but here we are!
😂
Jepp different for DL but Glorious. Epic
I think the Bass solo can be longer, i want more........

ToTo/Van Halen... and Henrik
Aaron's kit is getting as big as Simon Phillip's...
Dirty Loops is today's Beatles.
Henrik BONZAI!!!!!!!!
Please check out the band ”Arch Echo” they play progressive metal/fusion, I recommend ther song ”Color Whee”
Love it but they shoulda got the beat going after the first verse. 2 verses of ring outs were long.
I love Dirty Loops, but… this is what I’ve been waiting for, for years since their last release?
Pretty disappointing.
I kept waiting for the kick-ass groove to kick in and it never came. Henrik did his usual incredibly intricate pickin' but there was just no ooomph.
Definitely a different type of song for them. Good they’re trying some new things I reckon. It may grow on you.
No mics, no cables. It's a music video not a performance. Rather enjoy some of the earlier videos with actual playing.
It’s a parody on a European Song Contest song… I really don’t get this one. Sorry.
As a long time dirty loops fan I can say I don't care for this song.
That is perfectly ok
Ok now I like it. 😂🤣 It took some time for my brain to adjust to that bass, but its actually a great song once your brain can compute the sound from that bass.
