Banjo player reacts to Steve 'n' Seagulls | Thunderstruck (AC/DC Cover)

[@lyndonmaddison5860]

Bit of a running gag with these guys on some of their vids. The accordion player always turns up late.............well, right on time actually, in an unusual fashion, love it , love it, love it.

[@bernddasbrot231]

except for the Song Sad but True. There he is the first to leave on that old MF135

[@willsimpkins7278]

Don't feel bad man I'm from Southern United States and I thought they were a local band until the accordion came up I knew something was going on but I had to watch a lot more of their videos before I found out the real truth and that really blew me away anyhow I really did dig their music but then again I'm a big fan of bluegrass and rock and roll these guys are the Perfect Blend!!

[@Zzeke]

I had no idea they were up to 130 million views on Thunderstruck. I get goosebumps every time I hear it!

[@Nakemizy]

They are all around super talented and super nice guys! Been following them for many years now and have had the pleasure to get to know them personally. If you haven’t done so already, go see them live! They will knock your socks off! 😅

[@MrBanaanipommi]

this band is from where i live, Hankasalmi!! :) when i was little kid these guys started to jam with their friends :)

[@immune85]

Authentic Finnish story, 100% believable. That's all you need to know. Short and true.

[@jyesucevitz]

these guys caught me off guard. the kind of "joke" act you'd see on a ... Got Talent show and they just blow everyone away.

[@melissagottlieb3381]

Accordion guys never shows up early or late..but just when he's supposed to! Seems to be a thing. I had a concert of them last night with my BF..love everything they do! So tight

[@jeffbowden8367]

🤣 dude, “130 million views, I seemed to have missed this”, welcome to my world 🤣, and any band that has a dude playing the spoons and another playing the anvil deffo gets my vote, love it bro 🤗🇬🇧

[@ThomFoolery1]

Haha! It's hard to keep up nowadays. 😄 glad you liked it mate.

[@Idefixu]

They are the nicest of guys, saw them twice last year in Helsinki, outdoors in July, indoors in November, it was also a live stream. Just days before all gigs were cancelled due to the pandemic. They were selling their own merchandise so it gave me the opportunity to talk with them for quite a while, smallish venues, that helped. They now have a different drummer and bass player, both great musicians like the previous ones.

[@ThomFoolery1]

That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@Morteanjo2011]

That was awesome. Great song choice. The accordion, the base, and the drummer "spooning" were refreshing to hear. All that was needed was someone blowing into a shine bottle, and the washboard. I love bluegrass

[@jamesbuttleman3130]

This one just keeps calling me back,this group is great,love their sound.

[@marttivuorinen8475]

One thing that makes me smile is that Thunderstruck words suits perfectly to that small village boys Image.. Visiting big City, seeing a "dancer" who gave so much fun that they were thunderstruck and had to Make a song about IT back home 😜😂

[@JG-fe1gx]

Everyone I play that song for (and the rest of the album) loves it.

[@dmitrivolkov4187]

Сколько раз слушал ребят, и точно также с улыбкой головой трясу при их песнях.

[@victorjohnson2413]

They also do "CEMETERY GATES". The banjo player has an awesome voice. Great reaction. ♥️💯😎

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

Yes you definitely need to react to "November Rain"!!! In my opinion their cover is better than the original and I love the original, that's how good it is.

[@miba3981]

Absolutely!

[@jasonmcgookin5878]

I love this group. They are amazing. Such a switch on the original music they cover

[@phispit6662]

Just wait to see them on stage ! They're awesome, and if you're lucky, you can share a beer chatting with them !

[@SYNtemp]

Yes, they are excellent, loads of fun... I have their selection in YT allready some 3-4 years...

[@dbell582]

Hey Thomas!! Good to see you reacting again! I normally kinda fear new groups that ppl react to; but I listened to Heilung and loved that reaction. Now you bring us this. Just amazing musicianship and again just another great reaction. I don’t trust many reactors and their choices of music but I’m on board with ya. Keep it coming!

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thank you, my friend! I'm glad you're enjoying the selections too. My subscribers seem to know me well and give great suggestions. 😃

[@mustelidmama]

Everything about these guys is an upper. Love 'em to death!

[@scray00]

During quarantine I’ve either been listening to symphonic metal or bluegrass. Nothing soothes my soul like watching some doc Watson and friends. I found these guys too. I told them they should be state side playing at Merlefest. I think both doc and Merle are upstairs grinning from ear to ear listening to these guys. I can hear doc saying “son that boys playing an anvil” with that grin of his.

[@ThomFoolery1]

You have good taste, Amber! Both genres are also right up there for me. Both have very "pure" qualities, if that makes sense.

[@wanmac31]

Finally 😁🇫🇮🤘❤️🎶🎹🎸🥁✨👍

[@pouncepounce7417]

American does Hillbilly. Finnish : Hold my Koff

[@erwinamesz7642]

Best between-bands-during-concert band ever!!!!!

[@daviddow8150]

Herman on banjo is a stud. Lol never thought I would say that about a banjo picker

[@kevinlasiter9889]

Steven n segal are fantastic

[@karirytkonen5811]

Their cover of Pantera's Cemetery Gates is my favorite!

[@anitapoh4229]

Awesome I hot to see them in Fayetteville Arkansas a few years ago. Crowd pleasing and very kind over the hill groupies like me haha

[@antivanti]

It works so great. Both Boogie Rock and Bluegrass have good drive so it fits very well

[@austenj4539]

If Young, Young and Johnson didn't return their royalty cheque to Steve 'N' Seagulls, then I believe the surviving members of AC/DC should be subjected to 'High Voltage'. This 'Live' music, great filming, a barrel of fun and a perfect example of when composers should be proud to support new talent! Angus/Brian - upload your support.

[@michelle32855]

The Dead South makes much use of great banjo...Canadian Bluegrass. Very upbeat music...very dark lyrics.

[@wannabedane4046]

Something different and fun to see

[@arir7563]

Moi Thuomas! This band is really awesome live, hope to see them soon again

[@darkiee69]

One take recording with live audio. November rain or Nothing else matters by them should be next.

[@lembnic]

Awesome! Thank You!

Since you enjoyed this check out Iron Horse doing bluegrass covers usually of Metallica, Hayseed Dixie doing War Pigs and finally Mark Kroos playing Dueling Banjos.

[@kwhitestone]

I saw this band in Nightwish-cruise..

[@angelabergman7252]

Enjoyed your reaction video! They are my favorite band ever. Check out their version of I Was Made For Loving You. It’s insane❤️

[@phillee2814]

Second best finnish band, easily. Nightwish should use them as openers, just for the feel-good factor.

[@MrBanaanipommi]

there is many other freaking good bands that should have been world wide known. like Peer Günt, their song "back seat" is legend and rocks since early 80's and every year they still play !

[@dennislindqvist8443]

They seem to be good songwriters too. "Sweet Maria" is a wonderful song. It's a matter of taste, but Nightwish ends up far down on my list.

[@fjeldfross9327]

This is so much fun! had a smile the whole time on my face. In matter of banjo/ Bluegrass. have you ever heard of the Dead South "Banjo Odyssey" ? one of the concerts i still have a ticket for and waiting for the rescheduled Show (hope dies last)

[@noeway1987]

They are absolutely amazing!!

[@melissagottlieb3381]

Enjoy your reaction! Really all their covers are excellent.

[@sheikhyerboutial-nait]

You didn't mention how the lead singer was just abusing the hell out of that mandolin - and playing it really well.

[@pekkakarppinen1608]

Can we live without the Finnish "Bluegrass metal?". Of course no! 😵⛄👍

[@ThomFoolery1]

I didn't know I needed it, until now..

[@Helmifavourites]

@@ThomFoolery1 I didn't either... And then...about 2 years after I found them, I saw them live in Tavastia Club , Helsinki . Been totally in looooove since then😍😄

[@nunogarces1628]

Great reaction Thomas, they're awesome. You should see them cover Pantera's Cemetery gates. Have you seen 2Cellos cover of Thunderstruck? Well worth a watch too. Keep rocking, hug from Portugal.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Thanks Nuno! I'll have to hear that Pantera cover! Yes I love 2cellos, I saw them live and they were fantastic. 🙂

[@MrBanaanipommi]

also they have been in top 10 list in US :)

[@bongzilla4172]

Oh man, you play the Banjo? I always dreamed of having a Banjo as a kid, and it was the first thing I bought when I started working. Dope instrument with so much soul.

[@ThomFoolery1]

Yeah, I agree! There's something cathartic about just sitting back, playing it and zoning out. I'm actually posting a folk cover soon where I'll be playing it, if you're interested.

[@bongzilla4172]

@@ThomFoolery1 Oh, I'll pour myself a glass and enjoy that brother. It's really cool you are putting out these covers too! Have a fantastic day mate.

Try Holy diver or the Trooper covers 😁

Need to hear these! 😄

[@SwampGator]

@@ThomFoolery1 Just subscribe to their channel. Too many awesome covers. They also have some long concert performances.

[@1helluvaguy738]

Bluegrass my ass! An anvil is as heavy metal as it gets.

[@timomastosalo]

Besides this, I like their covers of Nothing Else Matters, Trooper, I Was Made for Loving You and Born to Be Wild (live in Texas) But there's plenty more - hard to find a bad one.

[@raunohamalainen9667]

you should see live in montelago festival gig!

[@Calumetto]

And then they went to the sauna. (-: ••• Thanks!

what might ac dc guys like this song :) well both original and this cover bring happy smiling energy feeling. thanx thomas reaction and have great new month there.

Thanks buddy! Same to you. 😄

[@MustaLaatta]

Real heavy metal! Ya should volunteer their roadie (they'been in US few times..) Wouldn't it be nice carry anvil around...

[@ThomFoolery1]

Haha! That would be a tough job but like say, very heavy metal. 😝🤘

[@stanlefort8584]

What do you play ? The anvil 😂😂😂

[@nyborg6425]

Finnish band covering an Australian band with American Bluegrass...well...

[@markhoward2811]

I like this version and also the instrumental 2Cellos version that came out at the same time. You should react to that version as well. Another good crossover is the German beer fest band The Heimatdamisch doing Sweet Child O Mine

[@ThomFoolery1]

Ah yes! I've actually seen 2Cellos live. Love their stuff. 🙂

[@phispit6662]

Saw S'N S thrice on stage, they're awesome. Walk off the earth made a nice G'n R cover too, in another different style.

[@Markoolio1974]

Master of puppets is great also. Band is evolving...

[@SandraNelson063]

I'm half Cape Bretoner. A long time ago, I could play the spoons.

[@robmorgan9317]

Thomas check out their cover of Battlebeast's Eden with Noora Louhimo and Seagull's nest interview with Noora which also includes a cover of a Janis Joplin song.

[@zvolencan1]

I thought they would start the tractor for the rhythm, that would be epic. :D

Haha that's genius!
