Silk Sonic are just unreal with how good they are man! The funk revival is something I’m living for and I hope Paak and Bruno continue this well after the first album🤘🏻

[@debbiea4786]

Me too

"What if we were performing in the middle of a roller rink, what would that bassline be doing? What would the guitar be doing? What would the drums be talking about? And I wanted to play congas, and that’s what you get. You get a song called ‘Skate.’” -- Bruno Mars

[@axlams26]

Skating Rinks blowing up around the world 👍

[@highandtight5544]

I showed them to my mom, these guys are so talented. She said this video transported her back to her teen years! Keep em high and tight, my dudes!

[@austriker1016]

I will cry if this album doesnt drop soon. I've never been more excited for a project!

Anderson, Bruno, Silk Sonic band and the ladies were off the hook! SKATE! Oh my oh my! So much fun !

[@chi2twn]

And the girls look like real girls and they can skate too, not the type who you usually see in videos these days. I admire the guys for doing that.

[@teddarden1315]

This song reminds me of Ain't No Stoppin Us Now. It's reminds me of the Quincy Jones and MJ and the Chaka Khan & Rufus of the late 70s. The official feel good song that ended the 70s of feeling good vibe, funk, music, relationships, just hanging out skating & dancing not hurting, killing, or drugs. Make an ole man like myself reminisce. Thaaanks fellows you are TIMELESS,

[@vivianstone1053]

Way to bring a smile to my face..."Oh My, Oh My"... I love watching you youngsters - your smiles, head boppin'! About time our Asian Brothers got some props! Anderson is Korean & Black. Bruno is Filipino and Puerto Rican. Anderson Paak is amazing -- drumming and singing at the same time is difficult. Bruno is really showcasing Anderson with the Silk Sonic songs which are awesome and something artists of his stature don't readily do. Anderson's talent is freaking awesome but he has not had the exposure Bruno has. Silk Sonic is changing that! Love this video, all the 70's vibe again like their prior video; the bicycle, VW Bug, Bus, and delivery truck, the girls' rollerskates, their outfits, the congas, instruments, and even the fan in the background - all legit 1970s. Skating was HUGE in the 70s!!! Bruno Mars is at his best with the 70's vibe and is extremely detail-oriented when staging his videos and camera work. Did you notice how the camera blurs out Bruno to give Anderson the focus? This song reminds me of the boys in high school in the '70s going to Ocean Beach in San Francisco every day after school and jamming!

[@ddgslegs2606]

Bruno said at the Interview after they are grounding silk sonic booth of like the 70 s Black american music and silk sonic made a music like the icons from the 70s. Guys done IT this Song by the intro like Marvin Gaye the Verse like Steve Wonder.

[@Omega-D]

Good evening party people! This collab isn't something I'd normally check out but I am glad you lured me in with your bonhommie and banter. Loved the funky Motown sounds and the feelgood vibes of this song!!⛱☀️🍹🍍 Thank you for broadening a fellow metalhead's horizons!! 🤘🤘

[@cristyrawks6325]

I agree about Anderson's smile. I loved his smile on the beer commercial before I even knew who he was. Silk Sonic is going to be responsible for bringing back the roller skating craze. This is my era and I love it!! Silk Sonic rules the R&B world right now! BTW, I don't get J5 as much as I get Earth Wind & Fire and KC/Sunshine Band, funky disco styles..... HEADS UP ALL..... AXS TV will have a LIVE performance by Anderson .Paak on Aug 11th

Love this song! So glad you guys reacted to this one, never clicked on something so fast 🎉 love you guys, thanks for the awesome content!

[@johnnyneedham9831]

You’re welcome!

[@DNAConsultingDetectives]

You probably forgot...given COVID, but in Feb 2020 Bruno Mars signed a deal with Disney to make a music themed film. I'm guessing this is a part of the whole eventual film. With LTDO, "intro" and this song, it's telling a story. It's going to be epic.

[@johnnyneedham9831]

Oh I didn’t know that!

[@JoeRay7771]

He said on roller skates, he would be so clumsy like a chunky baby giraffe, so funny... Great reaction guys... I think the reason why they take so long dropping these songs is because people are keeping these songs on the top of the billboards so long, also because Bruno is a marketing genius...

[@RHrrrrrrhhhhhh]

Wake up to Skate end the day with Leave the door open. Think Silk Sonic will be Skating all the way to the Grammys. Grammys better leave the door open cause they'll be cleaning up. Tambourine player is the trumpet player and backing vocalist from Bruno's band. As are the rest of the band, they've been with Bruno from the beginning. This is fun, light, happy. 70's Motown gifted back to us current. Big future for Anderson and Bruno. Check out Zane Lowe's Apple Music interview. Anderson said Bruno always makes him scream, he's a good producer and the detail to getting it right is how Bruno rolls. Not sure where your based, we're in Syd. Hope we'll all be giging soon. Stay safe Great reaction 🐨👏🏻

[@johnnyneedham9831]

We’re cenco locals, so just north. Thanks for the kind words, hope you guys are safe and well too 🙏🏼

from Coheed to Silk Sonic lol, I’m down for it 🤘🏻🔥🍻

We got you 🙌🏼

[@judithsturgis9822]

we all want to skate! kidding aside if you're bouncing and nodding at the first second! its a 🏆! Yes good vibes all around. you got it J5, the Temptations. Soul train. They are magic together Check out the lyrical homage to old school. not at contrived look

[@mary_v2023]

Nath has some guns, he likes showing them off. Works for me. Hope it was good for your pants Johnny ;) Lol, you guys make me laugh, thank you. Fun song, they sound great together.

[@bjhellstream]

Omg, those seventies disco vibes. Love it. I'm mostly into metal and punk but this would get me moving on the dancefloor.

[@zanohoriamazo1]

Don’t know if you guys are familiar with Philly Soul, but the style of this is likened more to that than J-5. If you check MFSB song TSOP, which is also the Soul Train theme, & their other tune, Love Is The Message, you’ll hear similarities with the strings & glockenspiel (orchestra bells). Another group reminiscent is The O’Jays’ songs like, I Love Music & Love Train. Skating got hot comin out of the hustle disco dance era, like 1979 to ‘81. But if you remember in the Michael Jackson Bad video, he had skating in it, which was late ‘80’s. The song from Silk Sonic I believe most like Jackson 5 is Smokin Out the Window, which probably wasn’t out at the time you watched this video. Anyway, great reaction!

[@idktbhx]

Beautiful reaction ❤

[@Synikalmind]

Have to go beyond the Jackson. This was a Sly & the family Stone inspired cut.

[@brandonthompson8640]

If the rest of the eventual Silk Sonic album sounds like it could fit perfectly onto the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 soundtrack, i will be very happy

[@littlelordfuckleroy3822]

I was just thinking that! Hopefully James Gunn breaks the streak of only putting older songs in these movies and puts this on the soundtrack

[@Amberelyse]

@@littlelordfuckleroy3822 the older songs made sense just because Peter only had songs from the cassette tapes his mother gave him.

[@D_Tuned]

Silk Sonic are the 70s mixologists. Parts of the song have hints of the following. Very tasty. 0:00 Drum intro: Brick House by The Commodores or Rock With You by Michael Jackson 0:17 Riff before verse: Beginnings by Chicago at 53 seconds in 0:20 Main groove: Sped up Mercy Mercy Me by Marvin Gaye 0:36 Pre Chorus Riff: Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb 0:51 Chorus chords: Rock With You by Michael Jackson. Sing along. It's fun. After Andersen sings "Hold on Tight" sing "I wanna rock with you...all night".

[@Amberelyse]

I hear the O’Jays as well!

[@D_Tuned]

@@Amberelyse Thanks for bringing up the O'Jays. I'm going to listen to "She Use Ta Be My Girl" right now! So smooth.

I love that you two react to these tracks to differentiate from the incredibly boring and predictable "Hypa Hypa" type metal reaction sphere. Silk Sonic are just so good at nailing this sound perfectly and still making it their thing.

[@johnnyneedham9831]

Well, we loved hypa hypa. Haha. But it’s fun to step outside and have a listen to new things and give them a chance. More people should try it! Hopefully we give them a reason to.
