This is my first of your vids and I'm so hooked. I love ya man! Thanks for making my day a little better. Aron Mellergard is my favorite drummer, and Henrik is my favorite bassist other than Michael League, but this whole band is freaking amazing. But even Michael League could never write a solo bass line as good as Henriks
The pure joy and fun they’re having. Reminds me of a comment Jim Morrison made…that he’d like to make a piece of music that is a burst of pure joy. I think Dirty Loops has achieved that. Thanks for the introduction 🇦🇺⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼🎸💋❤️
I listened to an interview with Aaron and Henrik and when the reporter asked what “Rock You” was all about, Aron turned to Henrik and asked “yes, Henrik lyric writer what is this song about?”. Henrik responded something like “I’m not comfortable to talk about it on the radio” . I think the original title was too naughty for the masses, so they changed the name. Yes. And Aron writes music in his underwear. Jonah never knew that he could sing like he does now, he was just singing in choirs. Henrik changed from piano to bass because he wanted to play like Flee and a girl he had a crush on said that base players were the sexiest musicians. Thank you unknown girl!
Yes, Pia 😉 The lyrics just loosely rhyme with ‘rock you’ and ‘let’s groove’ ;) And isn’t it just mindblowing to know that Jonah only started singing lead vocals with Dirty Loops and had never done it before?!? And that girl, we’ll owe her forever 🙏☺️👍
@@fiddlestix3025 Even with the official lyrics "rock you, let's groove" in the chorus, it's quite obvious what it's about if you read the rest of the lyrics. They are NOT subtle. 😅 And it definitely sounds like at least one of them is singing the original "working title" of the song. I'm thinking there's a reason why it says "unfortunately" after stating Henrik is singing backing vocals, in the credits. They also seem to have a blast making the audience singing the original title at their live gigs lately. 😁
I love your reactions to DL, and your looks of enjoyment and utter disbelief (and I couldn't help laughing when you used those exact words yourself in the afterthoughts, as I had been thinking the same thing during your reaction, hahaha). I imagine that's pretty much the looks I have on my own face every time I hear one of their songs for the first time. :) And as a side note, in case you missed it, Quincy Jones is just their manager. They produce everything themselves, with the help of Simon Petrén, and they don't let Quincy see or hear anything until they're completely done with a song, video and all.
Everywhere I go in the Dirty loops youtube rabbit hole, you have already been there. And I have been in a lot of those places. 😀😜 Tack för all intressant information du grävt fram och delar med dig av!
@@ballongvispen Hahaha, one of the very few upsides of having several illnesses and spending way more time on the sofa watching youtube and listening to music and podcasts than I'd prefer. ;) Tack!
Another fantastic reaction. You bring us all along for a great ride. Many times I've pondered why Loops aren't selling millions and millions of albums. During your reaction a metaphor occurred to me. Dirty Loops are like somebody is going to the movies. They stop at the snack bar and ask for a small, plain popcorn...that's it. The person behind the counter says "How about I give you a large buttered popcorn with a large soda and I'll throw in a taco for the same price. The customer thinks about it and then responds "Naw that's OK I'll just take the small plain." Loops are just more than the casual listener can handle. Which is a shame all around and why we continue to be surrounded by multi-million selling albums of the same, old rehashed stuff. Keep up the the fun reactions and thanks.
A great observation Mr Robot. Loops are one of those bands that can't really be fully appreciated unless you have a reasonable musical understanding or are at least naturally musically minded. It's like how mathematicians see the elegance and beauty in some equations. You won't appreciate it unless you understand. It will probably just make you feel tired looking at it. However, I get the feeling that massi e fame isn't their motivation. I think it's very much the case that their freedom to do exactly as they please is paramount.
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel That's a pretty elegantly thought out reply. Appreciated. Don't think they're looking for stadium level fame either it's just I hope they're making a decent living. And being musicians and having such universal regard from the music community has to provide some pretty satisfying feelings on their own. Great work on your end.
The thing that I have problems imagining, is Any group of musicians.... out there... having the chutzpah to try doing a cover of a DL song. Think about that.... who feels confident enough to cover "Work Shit Out"? Or "Next To You"? What my mind's eye envisions is a train wreck! I have not been this taken with a band since CSN! (Yes, I'm that old)
A group called FLR project have done some covers of some of the dirty loops songs and they even have a medley of most of the songs performed by Dirty Loops too. You might want to check their channel out too
@@randomwanderer4523 Yeah, as you said, they didn't break up, but just took a time out from writing. They still toured during those years. And, Alphie guess, they are just managed by Quincy though, so they don't have a full contract with him, the way they did with Verve and Foster. They produce everything themselves, with the help of Simon Petrén, these days. :)
What will really bake your noodle is their writing process has always been the same. transcribe first, then go to the studio to figure out how to play it. I'm serious.
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel agree with you re: similarities with Let's Dance - David Bowie, plus DirtyLoops are like from Mars or something....😁🕷 P.S. Have you heard Snarky Puppy - Trinity ?
The "more is more" quote is a famous one from Yngwie Malmsteen, another Swede with crazy chops
You've been loopyfied and it's lovely to watch! ❤️💯❤️

Haha, yes, I've listened to that interview a few times and it's so funny (I'm guessing it's the one SR P2 did, after Rock You was released?). 😁
Someone suggested that the girl that made Henrik change instrument should have a statue made of her. I’m more than willing to donate to that cause.

@@lottawiklund8606 too right 🤣🤣🤣
…and once you’ve heard it it’s hard to unhear;)
Charlie!! 😀 I don't have anything clever or witty to add, except: If you haven't seen or heard "Next to You", you must.
@@petraljungberg you're so not wrong LOL! I see what you did there.
Good choice! 🙂 Goes well together also with the Sunday reactions.

Every band I have ever played in always wanted to do the strange chord after the big production ending. So glad they chose to do that
Absolute musical/instrumental mastery...and the bass tone...mmmmm
Joined your Patreon dude! Love your reactions, they’re so genuine, and your commentary and insights are second to none! 💪🏻
That means so much Matthew. Really appreciate you brother. Thank you for being such a great support 👊🏼
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Yeah man, happy to support 🙂 🫂
Started to watch this and when they got going, I was siting in my computer chair and couldn't keep my legs still. What a groove!!! Awesome!!!
Next Video "The way She Walks" Dirty Loops! Lest Go!
Happy mood! Thank you 😊
Have you checked out Jonah Nilsson (the singer) and his own songs? Would highly recommend his song '' Diamond ring''
Henrik is, indeed, an alien. Amazing, amazing player. But so are Aron and Jonah. It's just ridiculous.
Let's hope Henrik doesn't call home. ET!
Well, got a horn section as well here so not really just three people TBF 🙂 still aliens of course. Love em!
Try this one "Thriller"
What a tune! Some artists you might like to check out are Matt Corby, The Tesky Brothers, Six60 & L.A.B. Keep up the great reactions. 😊
No you haven't done this 1 yet sir. I would have definitely remember that intro
Ahh no I know I hadn't reacted to it. But RUclips was saying I'd played the video before.
But yeah that intro 🔥
I met them in 2014.
Lucky… 👍
Next to You nowwww
The Master piece.
Already done it 😉

Hahahaha this comment made me laugh so much. You may find this featured in the next DL video 😉.
But yes, I also imagine a complete train wreck
A group called FLR project have done some covers of some of the dirty loops songs and they even have a medley of most of the songs performed by Dirty Loops too.

Hi ...i see you are looking at some gospel tracks. How haven't you done a review of >Dirty loops - Next to you.
Thank God, Quincy got their contract. They broke up in 2016. Then Quincey got them and set them free.
I don't think they broke up. I think they just took a hiatus from recording "Phoenix", but they continued to perform during the recording hiatus.
@@randomwanderer4523 Yeah, as you said, they didn't break up, but just took a time out from writing. They still toured during those years.
And, Alphie guess, they are just managed by Quincy though, so they don't have a full contract with him, the way they did with Verve and Foster. They produce everything themselves, with the help of Simon Petrén, these days. :)
Can You Please Do A RUclips Reaction To Rudy Currence No GREATER Love
What will really bake your noodle is their writing process has always been the same. transcribe first, then go to the studio to figure out how to play it. I'm serious.
Wow that really is interesting. I didn't know that. Thank you so much for the info 👊🏼
Let's dance? Seriously?
I knew someone was gonna @ me with some snarky comment. Did I say they were the same song? Or did I say there were similarities with the formula?
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel agree with you re: similarities with Let's Dance - David Bowie, plus DirtyLoops are like from Mars or something....😁🕷
P.S. Have you heard Snarky Puppy - Trinity ?
