Beck - Loser (REACTION)

[@Me-myself-b3g]

"I Got Two Turntables & a Micrphone"!! "Where its at" is another Hit from Beck

[@brendahhstiles9992]

Love that album.

Bummer he's into Scientology. Dig him otherwise, but.. yeah.. ick. Lol

[@mr.beaverchair3622]

Beck's like Bowie. A complete musical chameleon. Hip hop, folk, punk, funk, pop, even tropicalia. He does it all.

[@lpluva1]

I've always said Beck is the David Bowie of my generation. Every record unique and different then the last.

[@artharrison9586]

Yes… that’s what it is… he IS like a new Bowie in some ways. Maybe even more reticent than Bowie but there’s something there.

[@hampyonce]

Spot on!

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Well said.

[@themadcow71]

The Beck deep dive will shock you with quality and diversity. I put him up there with Bowie and Prince but his sense of humor can throw people off his genius.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

Absolutely! He’s one of the ones I put in the ‘genius’ category. Truly a gifted artist.

[@brianomoli4]

The dude can do a split. Just like James Brown.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

He is on the record as liking Prince music and was at at least one of the tribute shows.

[@ricobonifacio1095]

I remember when this came out. It was big because it was so unique and genre bending, imo. Still a a fun song today.

[@Rogers_Ranger]

when my gf sang this , i took it as a message .....lol

[@trucker_carlson]

Saw it in 1994 on tv in my friends trailer. Blew my mind back then and still today. Saw Beck live twice, one show in British Columbia I could write a book on it. Crazy original artist

[@DavidJacobsvo]

One of the most innovative and creative artists of our time. He defies classification, which is why he’s so great.

[@GodLovesComics]

You can't begin to understand how bizarre, unique, and revolutionary Beck's sound was in the context in which it first appeared. The fact that it landed in heavy rotation on MTV was a small miracle, but someone there made the right choice. He's created a lot of amazing music over the past 30 years. Highly recommend "Beck - Devils Haircut (Live on 2 Meter Sessions)" which is another great (and funky) song but with an absolutely insane ending (in this version).

[@324cmac]

It takes a lot of swag to do a song like this. This song was a huge hit in the 1990s.

[@chaoticneutral3487]

"Get crazy with the cheez whiz!"

He's a musical genius no doubt, won 8 Grammy's including album of the year from 22 nominations. Beck is Beck, sounds like nobody else.

[@mikecaetano]

Beck does many styles. Also check out "Where It's At", "The New Pollution", and "Devils Haircut".

[@femmegem1]

Yes to all three of these songs as your next listens! I vote for "Where It's At" next. Odelay is a fantastic album!

[@benshafer5198]

Add Hotwax to that por favor🙌

Check out Devil's Haircut, and Where It's At, is a huge hit. Two turntables and a microphone yo!

[@ginapurpura1182]

Where it’s at!!

[@fan123casual8]

I would also say “Hot Wax.” That’s probably my favorite of his. They’re all on his album “Odelay.” I think he won a Grammy for that one. It’s an excellent album.

[@kanjjn]

The song Debra is fantastic. 70's groove with hilarious lyrics.

[@AlvisinChains]

Funky af! ❤

[@got2soar]

This comment needs more than just a like. Debra and her sister too, love that song!

[@tadool5352]

Great song!

[@davidwilkins5932]

Beck is very unique and greatly talented. His catalog is worth exploring. A few years ago he gathered more than a hundred musicians playing an outrageous variety of instruments to accompany him in a cover of David Bowie’s song Sound and Vision. You should react to the video, it’s like nothing else.

[@ML-un1oi]

Pure genius!! Excellent reaction, fellas!!

[@owenhershey13]

Great reaction guys. Beck is a really interesting and talented musician. Odelay was a terrific album of his.

[@TL.BATMAN]

Artie from The Larry Sanders Show once described Beck as a "Hillbilly from outerspace." I love that description, and this hook is awesome.

[@johndrx165]

My wife loves his Odelay album. We have a bunch of his CDs. We saw him with the NSO at Wolftrap farm park this past summer. Great show! He is very eclectic with everything from rap to funk to roots music.

[@MrDoctorMabuse]

Gotta respect that Beck did lo fi hip hop HIS way, with sly humor, not trying to bite anyone else's style but still sounding musically interesting. He understands how versatile genre sounds can be for the talented and capable.

[@PatrickORourke-yz3xn]

I have read that Beck stated that lyrics don't have to make sense to have a hit and that this was written to prove it. This guy has the oddest sounds and sound combinations in his compositions and he is a master at making the mash ups highly musical and interesting. You really can't pigeonhole Beck into any genre. It seems like he learned music in isolation.

[@kengoodman756]

My favorite band is Led Zeppelin (for perspective) and Beck is in my Top 5 of all artists! Check out Where It's At, Girl, Devil's Haircut, The New Pollution, Sexx Laws, Mixed Bizness, Hell Yes, Nicotine and Gravy, Lazy Flies, and so many others.

[@amymikesparks2699]

“Where It’s At” won’t disappoint.

[@strqrt70]

“I thought Beck was something totally different”. Yes, that’s correct.

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Well said. I said it worse above. 🙂

[@coho2525]

Beck is a genius! You’re up for a deep dive!

[@johncampbell756]

The guitar is a sample of some guy named...Duane Allman. Beck was asked once what his next record would be, "What I want to listen but can't find on the radio." As such, his albums vary widely, folk rock, hip hop, pop rock, Prince. You may know part or all of his song, "Where It's At." "Where it's at./I've got two turntables and a microphone."

[@CuriousGeorge1111]

Wow, I just noticed that and posted about it. That's awesome info, thanks! The song is Midnight Rider, recorded by both The Allman Brothers band, and solo by Greg Allman.

[@usernameinvalid2675]

The drum sample is literally Butch Trucks from the Allman Brothers when he played sessions on Johnny Jenkins album never heard anywhere Duane was sampled for that guitar ? Not saying your wrong but never ever heard this from anybody

[@johnathandavis3693]

Brilliant reaction fellas. I hadn't thought of "the Beatles" in this song, but that could seriously be a "Paul" base line- And I've heard this song HUNDREDS of times in 30+yrs....

[@jaycmacg]

His first single...pretty much created it all himself in his bedroom and appeared out of nowhere. He hits every every style in his career...awesome!

[@KD-op7qk]

Omg, I have watched all your Zeppelin videos (several times) but Beck and Green Day are my other very favorites - please listen to more Beck...he's a genius.

[@aspjake123]

One of many hits on this album!!! 1993 what memories. “Soy un perdedor” (Spanish) in English is I'm a loser

Greatest slacker song ever.

[@brandonboucher7090]

I like how he rhymes and then intentionally doesn’t rhyme at the end of the phrase 😂. It’s cool.

Your comment reminded me of my English teacher at school 50 odd years ago , we were doing poetry and covering alliteration , i said so its getting the rhyme wrong , the teacher just shook his head and muttered the words " you heathen " to which i replied " of course i'm English " another Thursday after school detention was handed out .

[@whome1299]

I recommend Black Tambourine. Saw Beck in 1996 or so. It was a great show. He is the real deal. 👍 I know every word to this song, and many others. He's a future Hall of Famer. Amazing talent.

[@gavinschwier8242]

This is huge, you also want to try “Where it’s at” “Devils Haircut” from the Odelay album, his 2nd huge from 95-96. Loved the whole thing. Then he changed up genres quite a lot and is still at it. Very eclectic guy, but this is his biggest one for sure.

[@Bekka_Noyb]

all time classic 90s song! Def check out more Beck! Maybe Where Its At or Devils Haircut

[@natashab3412]

My son's fave song when he was 6 or 7 ( year the song came out ) so i got tix then we saw him 4 or 5 more times over the yrs. Last time was 2023 w the band Air. & Weyes Blood. Beck is def still evolving & selling out large gigs Beck & Ween are our fam bands ( you have to dive into more Beck , Ween too ) Son got us backstage at a Ween show when he ws 10 & got himself backstage at Outkast/ City High show at 11. Cool kid , great taste in music :) Love the channel. Ty ! 🎉

[@rodeyrode]

“Wow” is probably my favorite Beck song and video.

[@mikefetterman6782]

I was lucky enough to see Beck back in 1997 when this song was released. He opened for Neil Young. It was a good day.

[@mikefetterman6782]

He came out at one point with a huge fake horse head mask on.

Huge Beck fan and all his albums are different. Hip hop stuff early on but plenty of trippy folk stuff and rock. He does it good, very talented.

Going down the Beck rabbit hole is going on a musical journey! 🧡🧡🧡

[@musicduncdsb]

You guys are going to love some of Becks music. The albums Odelay and Guero are crammed with amazing tracks!!! He’s an alchemist.😎

[@whome1299]

...Yani cassette tape. 😉

[@musicislife-sa]

Devil's Haircut, Where Its At. Lots of stuff on Odelay. And then there's the mellower Beck of Mutations, Sea Change, and Morning Phase. A true musical artist. Got to see him in Athens GA around 1997, I think it was the Odelay tour. He was like James Brown meets Mick Jagger on stage. Moving constantly. Check out more!

[@14gilbertst]

It was a great year for music. I miss those days (almost 30 years ago!) The big shocker for me was the 2002 country/folk album Sea Change. He sounds like mellow, Allman Brothers.

[@malachi1974]

My favorite artist since 1993. Beck was influenced by nearly every genre. Lots of diversity between song...even more between albums. If you really want to hear him spit, check out "I'm So Free" from Colors. Great reaction!

[@bluetopguitar1104]

He's so out to lunch with the lyrics in a good way. He's a great blender of genres. So much fun!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Beck is genius. His album Morning Phase won the Grammy for album of the year in 2014. His album Colors, every single song is a banger. And on his last album, 2019's Hyperspace, he collaborated with Pharrell Williams. Definite songs to check out: Where Its At, Dreams, Chemical, Nausea, Heart Is a Drum, Up All Night... I can go on and on. His album Colors would be a perfect full album to hit. Beck is THE MAN.

[@ericsmith1385]

The last five out six comments i thoroughly agree with. I’ve seen him live a few times and he and band is amazing

[@robrobertson4619]

“Two Turntables and a Microphone”. Cool Beck tune! 😉 I believe it is actually called “Where It’s At”. I always call it 2 turntables and a microphone 😁

[@paxonearth]

FYI- "Soy un perdedor" is Spanish for "I'm a loser." Some of this might be a bit of urban legend, but Beck apparently recorded this entire album on a 4-track cassette recorder in his home.

[@KingRenoBand]

He recorded this album by himself on his living room couch on a 4-Track with overdubbing. He was ahead of his time in the 90s.

Beck is an amazing, versatile artist. Odelay was a major album. Loads of hooks, samples, beats, melodies. I also love his album Midnite Vultures (Sexx Laws is great fun, and Debra). And then Guerro, also a great album. I like is ballsy, in yer face stuff, and love his introspective, acoustic, melancholic vibe too.
