This is one of the best covers I've heard in my life. Mark Knopfler not only his guitar but that voice is so unbelievably unique and they absolutely nailed both of them. Everyone talks about the Beatles covers but *this* is their tour-de-force in my opinion. They are from the Philippines if you still don't know :)
yeah, I was blown away too....and definitely did not think this would be my 2nd highest reaction ever. More REO Brothers reactions coming soon, stay tuned!
My young adult years were in Guam with large Clubs and Filipino Bands from Philippines . The bands could match the vocals of the bands they covered, then during their breaks they would engage with audience w their Filipino accents 😂. Pescador Club Guam
I can’t forget my amazing experience at Cowboy Grill Malate was my first awesome exposure as an expat to raw Filipino talent. I won’t get into the delicious foods coz that’s a whole new topic hehe!😅👍🏾
I love this mark knopler epic song since the 90's, anywhere I go out and see live bands, I always requested this song but to my frustrations nobody wants to play it in a live band (I mean as band) but here in youtube, first I hear it from brazilian guitarist and REO brothers, what a great talented musicians.Loveeet.
Ralph Otic the bass player also has his own channel and sings songs of yesteryear .. he is the michael buble of the philippines and check out his homages to david gates and bread ! ..you will be GOBSMACKED!
REO Brothers kinda like "jukebox machine".....just drop your dime and select the record you wanna hear and they will play for you 99% quality same as the original... 👍🙌👌
You have just touched the surface of the REO brothers, (pronounced Rio). They are from the Philippines and are all brothers. I will be waiting for next Sunday's reaction from you, may I suggest more REO Brothers covers such as The Eagles, New Kid in Town or The Alan Parson Project, Eye in the Sky. Loved your reaction to them.
I got here in your channel by accident. And oh wow!! you got the REO Brothers from the Philippines 🇵🇭! Salamat for featuring one of our country's pride when it comes to music. These brothers have a loooot of covers from Eagles, to Beatles, to Bee Gees, to Simon & Garfunkel, to Allan Parson's Project and many more. So if you want more of their amazing covers, check their channel too. Again salamat.
Check out their homages to the eagles, alan parsons and america you will be blown away ... their version of the turtles happy together is better than the original!
Ha... You've discovered the best kept secret in modern music. These guys are extremely versatile in their voices as well as playing different instruments. Pick another song you'll be blown away!
One of the best of REO incredible this one...he plays the same with Knopler without pick...he incredibly nailed the voice and guitar..sweetytv thank you for your criticsm
They play effortlessly, they don't even look at their instruments much and in some videos they play as there checking out social media posts on their cell phones.
You know I love watching you really enjoy music Chris. The music really comes through really clear. I'm fkn starting to love you man. Ur cool bananas in my book.💯♥️
The best Filipino cover band EVER!! YOU THINK THIS IS AWESOME CHECK OUT ALL THEY'RE OTHER COVERS, EAGLES, ALAN PARSONS, BEATLES, AMERICA, SIMON AND GARFUNKEL, EVEN JOSH TURNER!! THESE BOYS CAN DO THEM ALL WITH SUCH PERFECTION ITS UNBELIEVABLE!! Especially to be ALL SELF TAUGHT ! AND THANKS TO RON JOSEPH ( THE LEAD SINGER HERE/GUITAR PLAYER) HE TAUGHT ALL HIS BROTHERS HOW TO PLAY AND DONE A DAMN GOOD JOB AT IT TOO!! WHAT A GROUP!!
I love this. At the end of the 70s,my wife and I went into a UK pub , and a cover band was playing Sultans of Swing , and very close to where we sat down. And they played it as good as Reo Brothers are playing it here. What a Night !
Hey buddy I was just going to comment that a lot of amazing rebranded talent or covers come from the country of the Philippines. As an expat I’ve ventured many clubs with amazing bands and are usually spot on. Such place “Cowboy Grill - Malate” Manila Philippines 😀👍🏾
I echo your "Incredible!", & love the way you kept smilin'. Next you gotta hear 'em do "Ventura Highway" by America, AND the list goes on & on with These guys!! They're blowing this gal's mind!!!
So nice reaction as if you can't believed, its from ASIA right? Filipinos but sir remember by this time at present the lead vocal of the great band JOURNEY in the name of Arnel Pineda. Ty sir.
The REO Brothers are from Tacloban City, Province of Leyte in the Philippines. They are real brothers with the drummer as their eldest. The Filipinos do speak English. The Philippines is the 3rd largest speaking country in the world. The REO Brothers have toured around the USA already.
...P.S. Btw, i've been binge-watching 'em since I discovered 'em 3 or 4 days ago. Former rockstar here 😉 (was child prodigy singer). No, this is not my real name
Sultans of Swing is still my favorite, but listen to the genius keyboardist pull off the difficult brass section of this classic Beatles song. This is the band they're really known for covering. Another amazing performance. ruclips.net/video/_CGLpvlUyAo/видео.html Watching it again, I noticed you were just like me when that voice hit on Sultans. It's so distinctive and they absolutely nail it. Incredible.
This cover isn't 2M views for nothing if Imay brag! Never disappoints truth to say. They're so perfectly incredibly NEAT real Philippine pride bro and your naturally pleased reoaction once again just so pins it thanks!!
Sir, will you please give more reaction videos of these lads' covering the songs such as New kid in town, eye in the sky, Imagine and more. I enjoy your reaction video. These guys is a complete package. They have superb talent in music.
@@SweenyTV we are all one in grinning with pleasure. Mark Knopfler is a genius when he weaved this music in the style of baroque artistry! Great thing was, REO Brothers did it immense, incredible justice! These guys are just spot on!
Covers may not be as original as the original but they display talents. Reo Brothers are covering many songs they be oldies or new ones in incredible way which prove that their talents are outstanding if not extraordinary.
What amazes me is that they have no accent issues hahahahaha. And they sound like the original, from the original key, tone, enunciation plus the emotions displayed, so crazy sick, tsk!
I so like your review better than the others...you know the song pretty well...kudos to the REO brothers...in your own words, they are incredible. More Power to your channel.
@@SweenyTV you just missed 2 shows in Florida. They actually left last night for New York, then Chicago which I'm going to watch on Saturday. Then they're going to Maryland, California, Seattle, Oregon, Missouri, Texas.
This is one of the best covers I've heard in my life. Mark Knopfler not only his guitar but that voice is so unbelievably unique and they absolutely nailed both of them.
Everyone talks about the Beatles covers but *this* is their tour-de-force in my opinion.
They are from the Philippines if you still don't know :)
yeah, I was blown away too....and definitely did not think this would be my 2nd highest reaction ever. More REO Brothers reactions coming soon, stay tuned!
What is the procedure for sending the requests? I've got a few more even than I already posted.
In the description box below the video in most of my recent reactions is the link to the online form to fill out.
Yes they are filipinos.. were proud of them
REO BROTHERS FROM THE PHILIPPINES !!!!!
My young adult years were in Guam with large Clubs and Filipino Bands from Philippines . The bands could match the vocals of the bands they covered, then during their breaks they would engage with audience w their Filipino accents 😂. Pescador Club Guam
Sounds like great times John, my hopes are to go to the Philippines soon
Glad to know you’ve been to Guam. Guam is my 2nd home. I am a Filipino-American. I know where Pescador Club is. It is along Marine Drive, isn’t it?
I think mark knopfler was so proud how reo brothers incredibly nailed it .
So awesome, talented band from the Philippines. 👍♥️🥰🇵🇭
The good thing about filipinos is they know how to speak english and can mimic accents.
I can’t forget my amazing experience at Cowboy Grill Malate was my first awesome exposure as an expat to raw Filipino talent. I won’t get into the delicious foods coz that’s a whole new topic hehe!😅👍🏾
IYes your right miss Jedi "I call it a natural talent "

This is an extremely talented group. A great cover for a Dire Straits song. Well done boys!
This cover is a thing of beauty.

REO Brothers are from the Philippines. The first time I heard them was when they were singing Beatles' songs. Really good musicians with good voices.
I love this mark knopler epic song since the 90's, anywhere I go out and see live bands, I always requested this song but to my frustrations nobody wants to play it in a live band (I mean as band) but here in youtube, first I hear it from brazilian guitarist and REO brothers, what a great talented musicians.Loveeet.
