Love how he gets lost in breaking down the actual musicality of the different scenes it’s amazing to see someone so clearly interested in every aspect that’s going on
It’s crazy to think that 12 years ago I sat in this dude’s tour “bus” and played him my band’s ep and he sat and critiqued it for 30 minutes. Then an hour later my band opened for his band. A night that will always be up there for me. Jack and the rest of Steel Train are nice dudes. Crazy to see how big he’s gotten on the production side of things.
@@jasonstehlick452 And how do you feel about that? Do you think y'all could have been on a major level if y'all all stuck together? *P.S - I'm a music love and listener. I don't hear the music, I listen to it, so I'm most definitely gonna check out the link you attached* 🔗 💯 🏁
@@riversider2506 I feel good about it. I have a great family and career, so I’m happy. I definitely wonder “what if” some days, and who knows, maybe we would have gotten somewhere. Music will always be an important part of me. Cheers!
Jack Antonoff is wildly talented and I'm very glad to see him here. Go listen to his bands Bleachers and Fun, if you haven't. I think between them he plays every instrument and role possible.
As a swiftie who watched all the "making of a song" clips and the whole folklore and evermore productions, I could already guess the first thing Jack was going to say after that Pitch Perfect clip was "kalimba is nice".
this was sooo entertaining, i love watching him talk about music because you can see how passionate and how much he knows about it. Jack Antoff the only man ever
imagine if there are instruments or music production things with him in that room that he can mess with as examples while he talks about all these music production stuff. it would be soo cool! (i'm a total music production noob as you might see in my comment but I know what's interesting)
I don’t think I will ever understand the hate that he gets. He seems good at what he does, that’s why he/we’re here right. He also seems sweet, doesn’t seem pretentious, no frills, and he looks like a guy you can have a convo with, and just be yourself. Besides, I really like someone who can laugh at their own jokes/thoughts like they’re going crazy, because me too.
Ive had a crush on Jack since his Fun days onwards to his Dont take the money MV. Now that I know how much of a geek he is, I think I am genuinely in love.
RUclips constantly recommends me GQ videos I couldn't care less about. I have been playing guitar for 20 years, I'm a mix engineer, and I had to stumble across this one by clicking on the GQ channel to see what new videos they had. Well done RUclips algorithm, you idiot.
Yeah I don’t know. Either they did it for comedic effect, or their editors aren’t very good and only caught those swears because they were more obvious, lol
I love that sleigh bells brought up. Whoever compiled these clips did their research because Jack goes off on sleigh bells when discussing “I miss those days”. Real Christmas-y
These kinds of comments are usually taken poorly by fans of the original artist (in this case, Sublime), but remember that the remaining members of Sublime really appreciated Lana Del Rey's cover of the song. I think the cover is superior to the original as well. It takes good things about Sublime's sound and good things about Lana's sound and evokes both.
Why the heck are the sound levels in the movie clip WAY different than the person commenting them? It's REALLY tiring to keep pulling the volume up in the scenes and then down again when there's comments about the clip. The volume disparity is especially bad in the Bohemian Rhapsody clips. Did you even proofwatch the video yourselves that you just made? On another tone, the commentary was great!
so the girls finally let jack out of the basement
Its only Taylor actually lol
@@anisanurraudah8383 no he's worked with lorde, and clairo lol
Meanwhile lorde, lana and taylor 👁️👄👁️
GIRLS CAN'T LET HIM GO HE'S THEIR BACKBONE
hearing Jack talk about an artist's relationship to the "industry" was surprisingly refreshing.
Fame.
Love how he gets lost in breaking down the actual musicality of the different scenes it’s amazing to see someone so clearly interested in every aspect that’s going on
@BP calm down, let someone admire someone else in peace
@BP no one said it was difficult, but it’s nice to see passion :)

10 years ago I handed him my EP outside of a Jack’s Mannequin show in CA. To this day I wonder if he listened to it 🧐
What happened to your group 🤔??
@@elbensvibez that's awesome! I'm sure he did!

And STEEL TRAIN!!
And red hearse!!
Bleachers what a band
entropy with him and grimes
Yeah, you're missing out if you don't check out Steel Train.
he spilled SO MUCH about that songwriting credits and artists’ relationship with the industry thingy in such little time
The swears that do and don’t get censored in this clip are all over the place
I was wondering the same.
Jack: Nothing is a coincidence, nothing
Swifties: WE KNOOOW *starts crying*
*L.*
Factsss
Lmao, if there’s anyone who has the industry wrapped around their finger, it’s Taylor swift.
@@eternalending as she should💅💅
@@eternalending Taylor Swift is The music industry
Antonoff is one of the masters of his craft and I could listen to him talk about what he does for hours
So glad that he's getting the recognition he deserves on his own because his music genius is so incredible
They should’ve showed him “Let it Shine” (Disney Movie)
he produced folklore and melodrama. he's basically my favorite musician lmao
True that.
NFR! Supremacy
Laura Sisk engineered folklore and melodrama.
the only man i respect
Why 🤔?
YES
That's sad
I think he means producer wise
exactly bestie
*This man deserved a life time achievement award for producing august alone.*
I don't know why, but this man's voice makes me feel really comfortable.
u should then def check out his music w his band “bleachers”
GQ really managed to persuade clairo, lorde, taylor, carly, lana to let him out of the basement huh
that's some high end ability
So glad he brought up producers trying to get songwriting credits when they didn't write the song!
Antonoff saying "Jesus and Mary Chainy", for me, is priceless
The more I hear Jack speak so passionately about music, the bigger my crush on him grows
I wholeheartedly agree 👀
fun fact: this man has 2 albums of the year: 1989 & folklore (as a producer)
He would have had another two AOTY albums if the scammy was not such an idiot, I am talking about melodrama and NFR were robbed
Now midnights
enjoyed seeing Jack talked about something I’m just getting into lately, the production of making music :)
😊
i can watch this all day. he is genius, cant wait for "take the sadness out of saturday night" album ❤️🔥
i wish they'd get him to react to the scene in pitch perfect 2 where anna kendrick started making a beat with the launchpad 😂😂
4:56 - Brian Wilson uses the earphones that way because he's deaf in one ear.
As a swiftie who watched all the "making of a song" clips and the whole folklore and evermore productions, I could already guess the first thing Jack was going to say after that Pitch Perfect clip was "kalimba is nice".
This was my favorite one of these I've watched. He's so honest and thoughtful and engaging.
0:10 the damn beats pill in every rap video 6 years ago 💀😂
this was sooo entertaining, i love watching him talk about music because you can see how passionate and how much he knows about it. Jack Antoff the only man ever
nice to see jack's finally out of taylor's basement
This guy has handled this incredibly well. The perfect level of not blaming others too much, accepting the outcome and being driven to do better.
I love him, he’s absolutely fascinating
imagine if there are instruments or music production things with him in that room that he can mess with as examples while he talks about all these music production stuff. it would be soo cool! (i'm a total music production noob as you might see in my comment but I know what's interesting)
2:58 No wonder Scooter is now also credited as writer on most of Justin’s songs.
jack my religion, you produced a lot, a lot of my favorite albums of all the time
Laura Sisk is the vocal engineer behind Jack's beats

I imagine all music in a sphere so it is amazing to hear someone say it like that.
Its crazy how GQ pick 1 producer to breakdown these scenes and they pick jack antonnofff❤❤❤❤👑👑👑
One of the best producers in music working today.
as a professional engineer, hoooollllyy $hit so nice to hear someone talk about the "you should be happy to be here" exploitation line we've been fed.
He is the goat. I saw him live front row and his energy was absolutely crazy

Jack: "there's no such thing as a coincidence 👁️👄👁️" 11:51
I wish this was longer, maybe make a part 2?
why is he not aging at ALL
Us Bergen County dudes are like vampires.
Bleachers is one of my favourite artists rn this was so cool to watch
just the bleachers production alone makes him credible to do this
Jack Antonoff is supremely talented!!!
jack antonoff and pitch perfect- my worlds colliding
They showed Love and Mercy but Jack doesn’t talk about The Beach Boys music production and how it shaped music we hear today?? Man…
Very much enjoyed the album Sling from him
Ok why did they bleep him at 11:05 when seconds before they didn’t bleep anything?
Yeah I don’t know. Either they did it for comedic effect, or their editors aren’t very good and only caught those swears because they were more obvious, lol
I'll buy whatever you're selling, Jack.
"when an artist you like starts to chase something...its a very sad feeling" - Jack I wish you'd revist Nate Ruess and fun. just one more time man.
Jack: Nothing is a coincidence, nothing
ALSO Jack: *aggressively tries to brainwash me into buying a remote control without a TV*
When will GQ make a video for a Teacher Breakdown? No love for the teaching profession?
I went ahead and made my own video because they haven't yet.
i totally see Taylor and Jack talking about music and the iNdUstRy for HOOOOOURS over 3 bottles of wine!
I would loove to hear that conversation
Bleep at 00:37 but not at 2:44? Great job, GQ. You’re the industry standard.
Okay but is fun. Finally going to make their return
unfortunately, don’t think so :(
check out his project the bleachers
Jack is one of the most talented and lovable people in the Industry
This is incredibly insightful, thank you
Love that he references Jesus and Mary Chain
So fascinating and enlightening. I was a fan before and more so now. He should do a Ted talk “so you wanna be in the music industry…”
So grateful for his comments about being an artist in the U.S.
this man is a genius
I love that sleigh bells brought up. Whoever compiled these clips did their research because Jack goes off on sleigh bells when discussing “I miss those days”. Real Christmas-y
This man is my hero
I love this guy so much
Hoping the "More Cowbell" SNL skit is in here. 😉
Tried out the sleighbells thing right away, can confirm is cool thanks Jack
why did they not use the part where beca uses the pad in Pitch Perfect 2 !!!
I think I’m in love with him
I like that they censor the cursing in the clips, but he cursed at least as much as the clips.
words cant describe how much i adore this man, his talent is exquisitely crazy
Jack! Loved his insight
More content like this please
legendary human being
im so inlove with this man
Would have loved to see a reaction to Inside Llewyn Davis 😊
It’s Jack 😍
I thought it was really cool how he had a cameo as a producer in the reboot of high fidelity
like lanas cover of “doin time” being worlds better than the og 😏😏

Facts it really is
It is better but usually this is not the case.
I would trust him with my entire existence

Jim Sting: Mister Potato Head! Mister Potato Head! Back doors are not secrets!
Malvin : Yeah, but Jim, you're giving away all our best tricks!
I understood almost nothing, that's someone who know music
I thoroughly enjoyed this
that dog. RESPECT.
We need "Fun." back
Such a sick video. Thank you
“32 takes isn’t that much”
King Jack
King antonoff
love him
Selective bleep censors are fun
thank you jack for the free therapy
Couldn’t agree with him more about songwriting credits getting hijacked by non-writers
The sound mix on this video could have used a Mastering stage...
The only man who deserves rights
you’re screwed
I understand nothing of what he’s saying but I agree
