Hi from UK. I love watching people experiencing Two Cellos for the first time. Elton John discovered them and they toured with his band for a while. H said watching them for the first time was like watching Jimi Hendrix live for the first time. btw I saw Jimi live in the UK in 1967! Yes I AM that old!!!!!
As a classical musician and grunge rocker 4ever 🤘, thank you thank you for doing this reaction. Please do more!! Genre mixing and making classical music entertaining, not classical musicians *expecting* their audience to find an antiquated concert format exciting, is the way of the future! The sooner more classical musicians branch out and become more accessible, classical music may not just become a historical relic.
Whoops, now you’ve done it. There’s no going back now that you’ve discovered the genius that is 2Cellos. I’ve seen them in concert twice here in Dallas the past two years and I’m going each time they come back. They are revolutionary and are responsible for a lot of elementary school kids being psyched about learning to play an instrument. These guys are helping to keep music in the schools and we should all be grateful! If you have the chance to see them in concert, f’n go!!!
I have watched a few of these first reaction videos for this song and finally someone mentioned about the kids getting excited and happy while the adults are freaking out and saying no, behave yourself. Like every generations parents that listen to their kids music lol
2 Cellos are amazing. I've been a fan of theirs for years. My dad and brother got to go to one of their concerts and I was super jealous. Awesome reaction! Was laughing the whole time.
I first saw this a couple years ago and was BLOWN AWAY. Another GREAT one of theirs is SUPER TROOPER the theme to the LONE RANGER and they way it is put together is also amazing.
You, my brother are the FIRST I've seen react to Two Cellos, shout out to YOU! These guys are CRAZY GOOD!! Been loving their stuff for awhile, and now you feature them! Great stuff, two very talented and passionate guys playing some extraordinary sh*t!! Talent at it's best!
They are truly amazing!! They do concerts worldwide. Seen them live, they’re also funny in between songs so it doesn’t ever get slightly boring to listen. Love from Croatia!! 🇭🇷 love your videos ❤️
If you want unconventional uses of instruments, you might want to check out the band Walk Off The Earth. A good first video to watch would be their cover of "Somebody that I used to know", which they played with 5 people using 1 guitar (at the same time).
There is something so satisfying about seeing someone better than you. Gives you a goal. Meanwhile don't forget about the kid that's looking at you thinking I wanna be as good as that guy. Food for thought
2cellos covers Highway to hell ft Steve Vai - AC/DC Welcome to the Jungle -Guns N Roses Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson Whole lotta love - Led Zepplin Seven Nation Army - The White Stripes Trooper - Iron Maiden
Adds Voodoo People by Prodigy, Wake me up - Avici and their cover of Coldplays Every teardrop is a waterfall where it's the 2 guys playing the same cello
These two young men started training in classical music and then as they mastered that technique they started to play contemporary music and ended up with some wonderfully original performances. If I recall correctly they first started training with their father. Amazing talent yes?
Well just damn😲😲😲😲😲 I'm now a huge fan,I never ever thought I'd listen to cellos not 1,not 2 but 4times and I've shared the hell outta it..thanks for doing this reaction video.as always another bad ass video.
Classical music has always rocked! imagine coming to a crescendo on shrooms amazing. I was taking a classical music class at Virginia tech and learned to appreciate it but now I know it rocks. There's been many integrations of it with metal
A neighbor of mine, when I was a young man, she plays cello for the Grand Rapids symphony orchestra (in Michigan). She tells me that she and many of her fellow musicians enjoy playing with guest conductors when they come to the city. She has played with the Trans Siberian Orchestra on more than one occasion. :-)
Nirvana : The chello is a very powerful instrument and it's in the string family like the guitar. Can we also notice that the melody is very beautiful played in this classical way . Great song. My youth :)
If I remember correctly, they were switching back and forth between the best and second best cellist in their country (based on different competitions). They decided to play together and killed it. As others have said, their Smooth Criminal and Welcome to the Jungle covers are great.
There are lots of groups out there like this now. Twins who do harps, violinists, bagpipers, the gurdy gurdy. People are reinventing how to play all kinds of classical instruments.
I have known about these guys for awhile. Elton John saw them and immediately signed them to his band years back. They are real talent. Talent like there's is mostly missing in today's top 100.
My introduction to this band was Thunderstruck. It was actually a staged video, hence the costumes. I haven't heard their version of nirvana until now...just as awesome!!! They do Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson, and another ac/DC song (I believe) with Steve Vai. They are phenomenal!! The end of Thunderstruck reminds me of the Johnnie B Goode from Back to the Future. Lol. "I guess you aren't ready for this yet.....but your kids are going to love it."
these guys are actually classical virtuosos, if they like it and it can be adapted to play on the cello, no matter what the genre, they are right into it
The Europeans are still tuned into classical music, so much more than we are. If you're going to travel down this lane, you need to also check out David Garrett, violinist. He's young like these guys and plays rock tunes with a classical twist and plays the classics like rock songs. He does Nirvana, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Beethoven's 5th Symphony and more. You won't be disappointed. I've seen him 3 times in concert. ;-)
There is alot of crossover with classical and metal. My elementary music teacher was classically trained pianist that toured in a symphony plus played in a black metal band.
It's too bad you didn't hear the original Thunderstruck first. You owe it to yourself. These guys also play straight classical, as you would expect. Their drummer is also amazing in his own right.
I wish they had taught my daughter. She played the cello. My oldest son played the flute, my daughter played the cello, my second son played the violin, my 3rd son played the trumpet & my youngest played the guitar. So I love listening to each instrument.
Tina Guo is also a great cellist who gets heavy with her stuff. She did the main theme to Wonder Woman. And if you’re a fan of final fantasy 7, she also performed some of the songs from that soundtrack.
First heard of them during 2012, due to them being featured on Glee's MJ episode... where they played their smooth criminal cover (And destroyed their bows) while Naya Rivera and Grant Gustin sang. They intrigued me and I watched what they had available on youtube back then. If you can find it their cover of Supermassive Blackhole (originally by muse, I think) is pretty phenomenal.
There’s actually a set of brothers who competed on AGT and played Thunderstruck and dropped the mic. They also did a video for the Guitar Center in which they do a playoff with Steve Vai! Check them out too.

This is what happens when your parents want you to play a classical instrument and all you want to do is rock n roll lol
Well classical music was metal without the electricity.lol
Money well spent, Wagner was the Heavy Metal of the Classics.
I know it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
@@alejandrooliver7197 no bot, scram away.
As that little kid said in that Twisted Metal music video... "I wanna rock".
Man, gotta check out their smooth criminal cover.
PebbleInThePond23 YES!!!!
First time I ever saw them was doing "Smooth Criminal" on the MJ episode of "Glee". In three minutes they stole the whole hour.
Yes yes yes! Smooth Criminal!!
Oh, yes yes yes!! That one's crazy.
Mark Kelso that was exactly what I was thinking. They were awesome!!
2cellos trooper overture. A must watch.
Elton John took one look at them and literally said: "We need to get these guys in our band."
My son, 9, and daughter, 7,saw them live last year and ask them questions at their preshow. My son starts lessons this fall at the conservatory.
And a shout out to the drummer, Dusan Kranjc. That guy's great!
2 cellos thunderstruck! the best rendition of ACDC. You have to see that!!!
I'm always so impressed with the production values of all their videos. These guys are rock stars.
The crowd was "thunderstruck"! In awe! Stunned! Amazed! Dumbfounded!

Absolutely I saw them here in Colorado and it was worth every penny!
I found your channel through ERB.
Now we got 2CELLOS!? where's my seat? I'm gonna be here a while.
He's also learning about Weird Al!
He's one of my favorite reactors. Check out his past reactions. 🙂
Yeah, I'm loving the stuff he's been reacting to, subbed a couple weeks back now, :D
Same here. Saw a reaction from him 2 days ago to an ERB video and I've watched all of his ERB videos now. I have loved 2Cellos so I had to watch this.
I ain't never heard of 2Cellos till now. Not bad at all. Love these guys and I've only seen the first video
2Cellos are absolutely incredible musicians
3:22 the look on your face was worth waiting a long time to see!! 👏👊💪
priceless! he was not ready!
Tyler davenport, exactly!! 😂
LOVED your reaction to these amazing talents. They are insane!
Clicked this so fast 💨. Thank you for reacting to the live video! Great reactions as always!
You need to check out Apocalyptica there the OG who 2cellos got there inspiration from. Apocalyptica is a 4 cello group they play alot of Metallica
Agreed! Especially Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters video & In the Hall of the Mountain King live
Agreed!
Yes!
@@timstackii nothin beats the hall of the mountain king!
I like both of them
Lindsy Starling also pretty great
Dude, you should check out AC/DC anyway. Thunderstruck, highway to hell, back in black
These guys are amazing though
Awesome cover of Thunderstruck buy Steven's Seaguls: ruclips.net/video/e4Ao-iNPPUc/видео.html
2cellos got Steve Vai to play with them
The one with Steve Vai
I have watched a few of these first reaction videos for this song and finally someone mentioned about the kids getting excited and happy while the adults are freaking out and saying no, behave yourself. Like every generations parents that listen to their kids music lol
2 Cellos are amazing. I've been a fan of theirs for years. My dad and brother got to go to one of their concerts and I was super jealous. Awesome reaction! Was laughing the whole time.
They tore that stage up !! Amazing musicians !!!
I first saw this a couple years ago and was BLOWN AWAY. Another GREAT one of theirs is SUPER TROOPER the theme to the LONE RANGER and they way it is put together is also amazing.
You, my brother are the FIRST I've seen react to Two Cellos, shout out to YOU! These guys are CRAZY GOOD!! Been loving their stuff for awhile, and now you feature them! Great stuff, two very talented and passionate guys playing some extraordinary sh*t!! Talent at it's best!
He's needs to check out DSharpe as well. Makes the electric violin look like child's play
They are truly amazing!!
They do concerts worldwide.
Seen them live, they’re also funny in between songs so it doesn’t ever get slightly boring to listen.
Love from Croatia!! 🇭🇷 love your videos ❤️
Two Cellos. Incredible music. Those two guys have it going on! Highly talented plus years of practice.
@HAUSER I'm a flutist from Colorado. Nice to meet you on here.
If you want unconventional uses of instruments, you might want to check out the band Walk Off The Earth. A good first video to watch would be their cover of "Somebody that I used to know", which they played with 5 people using 1 guitar (at the same time).
So glad you finally found 2cellos. I love them. Check out their AC/DC songs!
Check out 2 Cellos "The Trooper/Overture" a mashup of "The William Tell Overture" (The theme from the Lone Ranger) and "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden...
AC/DC, one of the best rock bands out there. Totally check them out. 2cellos does them justice though for sure with this cover
Stjepan Hauser was the youngest student studying cello on Zagreb University
The transition from the classical music into the guitar solo opening of Thunderstruck was SO seamless, its nuts!
I recommend “The Snake Charmer” she takes the bagpipes to a whole new level.
The Cello guy on the floor doing his best Angus Young impression. LOL.. good stuff. 😎😂
It finally happened! Lol Thanks brother, glad ya enjoyed em!
There is something so satisfying about seeing someone better than you. Gives you a goal. Meanwhile don't forget about the kid that's looking at you thinking I wanna be as good as that guy. Food for thought
2cellos covers
Highway to hell ft Steve Vai - AC/DC
Welcome to the Jungle -Guns N Roses
Smooth Criminal - Michael Jackson
Whole lotta love - Led Zepplin

Idk if he's even ready for how great their cover of Trooper is.
We all think alike
Adds Voodoo People by Prodigy,
Wake me up - Avici
and their cover of Coldplays Every teardrop is a waterfall where it's the 2 guys playing the same cello
These two young men started training in classical music and then as they mastered that technique they started to play contemporary music and ended up with some wonderfully original performances. If I recall correctly they first started training with their father. Amazing talent yes?
Their concert was ridiculously good! People of all ages just rocking out!
If you ever get the chance to see them live, go, it's a must see! The talent, the energy and the showmanship, they're outstanding!
Priceless first time reaction 👊🏻👍
Was lucky to see 2Cellos live a few years ago . . .they are amazing performers and they bring the energy to the stage.
Come on give a drummer a credit already, he is with them for years
"That's talent!" Yep, you're exactly right fam, and I wish I had some :)
Well just damn😲😲😲😲😲 I'm now a huge fan,I never ever thought I'd listen to cellos not 1,not 2 but 4times and I've shared the hell outta it..thanks for doing this reaction video.as always another bad ass video.
It's good to see you again! Keep it coming!
Classical music has always rocked! imagine coming to a crescendo on shrooms amazing. I was taking a classical music class at Virginia tech and learned to appreciate it but now I know it rocks. There's been many integrations of it with metal
Another awesome video.. I have been following 2 chellos for a while now. They are definitely very talented.
A neighbor of mine, when I was a young man, she plays cello for the Grand Rapids symphony orchestra (in Michigan). She tells me that she and many of her fellow musicians enjoy playing with guest conductors when they come to the city. She has played with the Trans Siberian Orchestra on more than one occasion. :-)
I’m SO glad you decided to do 2Cellos !!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Man you nailed it! Inspiration is key for everyone!
This made my day!!!! Greetings from Croatia:)
Nirvana : The chello is a very powerful instrument and it's in the string family like the guitar. Can we also notice that the melody is very beautiful played in this classical way . Great song. My youth :)
Just a note, when classical musicians enter the stage, it's customary to bow before beginning the performance. That may be what they were doing.
If I remember correctly, they were switching back and forth between the best and second best cellist in their country (based on different competitions). They decided to play together and killed it.
As others have said, their Smooth Criminal and Welcome to the Jungle covers are great.
There are lots of groups out there like this now. Twins who do harps, violinists, bagpipers, the gurdy gurdy. People are reinventing how to play all kinds of classical instruments.
Just subscribed. Awesome stuff man thanks. Peace from Australia.
I have known about these guys for awhile. Elton John saw them and immediately signed them to his band years back. They are real talent. Talent like there's is mostly missing in today's top 100.
Getting close to 100K. Congrats!
These guys are epic! I reckon seeing them in concert would be fantastic!!

i have been watching you and your wife react to stuff for ages! your reaction to this is what made me hit the subscribe button.
You are my favorite reactor. Love that you mix it up. These guys are awesome.
these guys are actually classical virtuosos, if they like it and it can be adapted to play on the cello, no matter what the genre, they are right into it

They are very talented and special and we are proud of them! Greetings from Croatia!

It's too bad you didn't hear the original Thunderstruck first. You owe it to yourself. These guys also play straight classical, as you would expect. Their drummer is also amazing in his own right.
Easily top 5 concerts I've ever been to. They do the music while the crowd sings the songs. Incredible
Have you ever seen videos from The Piano Guys? They do seemless mashups with classical/modern and original works.
I was just thinking the same thing!
Can very much suggest “5 guys, 1 piano” and their Star Wars medley
You must see more video of 2 cellos, live is the Best. They rocks 😀😎
I wish they had taught my daughter. She played the cello.
My oldest son played the flute, my daughter played the cello, my second son played the violin, my 3rd son played the trumpet & my youngest played the guitar.
So I love listening to each instrument.
The Trooper Overture is their best so far.
Whole Lotta Love is super good too.
2Cellos rocks! I love how he spun on the floor like Angus Young.
"I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are going to love it." Marty McFly (Micheal J. Fox) of Back to the Future fame
their smooth criminal is also great like really GREAT
That's a classic Angus maneuver down on the floor and spinning around
when that beat hit i 100% got chills that was so dope
When everyone is talking about thunderstruck and other covers but its actually mombasa which is the true masterclass.
I must add, it does not hurt that these guys are as stunning as their music! Wheeew! Hot stuff!
When that shit kicked in on Teen Spirit i legit got goosebumps.
Tina Guo is also a great cellist who gets heavy with her stuff. She did the main theme to Wonder Woman. And if you’re a fan of final fantasy 7, she also performed some of the songs from that soundtrack.
Kicking ass and taking names 😁

I love all the broken bow strings....😜
'i guess you guys are not ready yet for this...but your grangrangranchildren will love it.''
so great to see someone reacting to these guys. great video as always
Seen them live. So much fun!
They have changed music history before our eyes. 😍😍😍
React to thunderstruck mate AC/DC Aussie legends of Rock
An Aussie band who were mostly British and spent their time in the USA 😂
Seems like people just read my mind, love their music, so amazing.
These guys are amazing! Got to see them live in Detroit 2 years ago
Trans Siberian Orchestra is similar to these guys. They do a lot of Christmas music, but also some Beethoven.
Love TSO they come to my job every year
The guy laying down on the stage is a reference to the original video by ACDC.
Zan Tes and an ode to Back to the Future, when they weren't ready for Johnny Be Good haha
2Cellos - The Trooper Overture
Frigging awesome! 🍻
Love these guys! Always afraid they'll run out of string on their bows before the song is over! LOL
That last bit....with a cello....yes plz.
I've seen a lot of their videos, these two are freakin awesome!
There’s actually a set of brothers who competed on AGT and played Thunderstruck and dropped the mic. They also did a video for the Guitar Center in which they do a playoff with Steve Vai! Check them out too.
