Have a great ride - with Dirty Loops you are sure to get an amazing mind-blowing arrangement, top notch musicianship and lots of humor, no matter what you choose to listen to next, you'll be in for a surprise!

@@ellenstergaardgravesen1011 Thank you Ellen for watching I appreciate it. I never thought I would watch a SPECTACULAR group like DL when I heard their name. They are absolutely amazing. Take care

I’m glad you enjoyed Dirty Loops. Three music conservatory-trained guys from Sweden, longtime friends. Jonah, vocalist and keys, is considered one of the best young male vocalists, as well as a fire pianists. Henrik on bass, is an absolute beast. Aron, drums, lays down the tightest beats, co-writes many of their songs, even the choruses and lyrics, and even some of the bass lines. On top of all this he now writes music for orchestras, and is the one doing all the visual video editing for the Loops. They are absolutely worth checking out some more. Try “Work Shit Out” and “Rock You” next. Thanks to whoever suggested them to you 🙏 Enjoy your Dirty Loops journey 👍 Btw, the sound on your mic was turned off during the song, so we couldn’t hear what you were saying there. Looked tho as if it was all good ;)

@@fiddlestix3025 I enjoyed the hell out of these great musician's. They were absolutely amazing . Thanks also for the great info. I will definitely check out more of them in the future. My son does all the editing and I'm computer illiterate. He said don't talk while the video is going. If I have something to say I have to stop the video. I am so thankful that I started this channel or I would have never found these guys. Thanks again and take care

[@fiddlestix3025]

@@grumpyoldguyreacts yeah, it can be tricky with the mics and the talking, happens to other people too… I really liked that old school TV set, tho 😉 Looking forward to more DLoops on your channel 👍 And btw, there are wayyyy grumpier people out there 🤣

Welcome to the Dirty Loops rabbit hole. They have a stunning catalogue of videos and music. Also check out a collaboration with Cory Wong where they do "Thriller".

@@gregberg6288 Thanks Greg for watching I really appreciate you. I was amazed at the talent voices of these fabulous young men. I will definitely do more of them in the future. Thanks again and take care.

I just love to see someone experiencing Dirty Loops for the first time and have their mind blown. They started the group as a hobby project in 2008, and never thought it would be anything other than that, and did twisted jazz fusion covers of top 40 pop songs. In 2010 they put up a video on youtube (a cover of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance"), as a booking reference, to see if they could get a gig or two, just for fun, as they thought their music was way too unsexy for anyone to actually like it. Needless to say, they were completely wrong and a LOT of people absolutely loved it. Just about everything they've ever released is of this ridiculous musical quality, so you could pretty much pick any song to listen to, and you more than likely would not be disappointed. My personal favourite is one of their more jazz fusion-y pieces, "Work Shit Out". They've all known each other and played together for 20+ years by now, in their late thirties. Jonah Nilsson (keyboard/vocals) and Henrik Linder (bass) even went to music elementary school together and met when Henrik was 11 and Jonah was 9. Aron Mellergård (drums) comes from another part of Sweden and came along when he moved to Stockholm at the age of 16, to attend the same music high school as they did (he was in the year between the other two). Then they all attended Kungliga Musikhögskolan (Royal College of Music) in Stockholm, where Henrik and Aron studied jazz/rock, and Jonah opted for music production as his main subject. Henrik said the following about writing and recording this song, in an interview in Bass Magazine: Bass Magazine: “Next to You” has a cool, halftime-shuffle feel and a gospel choir component. Henrik: "That song took forever to write. Aron and I wrote the chorus in 2016. We found it in a drawer and tried a bunch of new verses with it until we got the right one. Then at the last minute, Aron wrote the gospel choir parts. He sent a very funny demo in which he marked where all the different gospel parts come in and what kind of voice they had. When Jonah recorded them, he had a chalkboard with all the different characters in the choir, and he distorted his voice to match each character and so none of them would sound like him. The groove has our typical, swung-funk, triplet feel, but the key is the Bootsy funk formula of having a heavy one to make all the subdivisions after it work. Aron wrote the chorus bass line, which is keyboard bass-like, and it worked best with a combination of fingers and slapping." Oh, and as someone with a brain that always collects tons of useless trivia that I have no idea what I'm ever going to need it for, I absolutely loved the "Tom's Worthless Facts" section. Keep up the good work! 💚

[@grumpyoldguyreacts]

@@lottawiklund8606 Thanks Lotta for watching I really appreciate you. Also thanks for the FABULOUS information. I really loved these young men and their talent. Jonah's voice is amazing and I never expected them to be this good. I will definitely check out more of DL in the future. Thanks again and take care.

[@ingmarkronfeldt6174]

Nice! Liked your reaction, and the fact that you liked Dirty Loops! The next one could be Follow the light, where they collaborate with Cory Wong and a fantastic horn section. On the other hand, it could be Rock you, which ends "on another note". The most fabulous song might be Work shit out, and the one with the biggest surprise might be their latest, Run Away (also extra arms and an "amazing" split, they are a bit crazy). Then there are plenty more songs to enjoy, and hardly any to not enjoy. Maybe you should start with their first own success, Hit me? It sets the stage quite well for what came next. If you read the credits, you might find e.g. their dietist to be Jabba the Hut, and other unexpected stuff. Finally, thank you for reacting to Dirty Loops!

@@ingmarkronfeldt6174 Thanks so very much for watching I really appreciate you. I am so glad that someone suggested DL and I really thought they were fabulous. Thanks also for the info and the suggestions. I will definitely do more of them in the future. Thanks again and take care.

Thanks Tom, well done. As to more DL, please check out Follow The Light (collab with Cory Wong). BTW, they are managed by Quincy Jones. Cheers

@@brewswillis9783 Thanks Brews for watching I really appreciate you. I was really impressed with DL and I definitely will check out more of them. Thanks again and take care.

[@cklux2011]

Suggested next for Loops is Work Shit Out For massive drum solo and Run Away for Eddie Van Halen-esque bass solos.

[@grumpyoldguyreacts]

@@cklux2011 Thanks for watching I really appreciate you. I have them scheduled in a couple weeks and doing that song . I record a week and a half or so it will be a little while. Thanks again and take care.

Not bad Tom. Like you, I never heard of this group but I enjoyed hearing them. Have to go finish mowing. Catch you next time.

@@DennisButton-lh6gr Thanks Dennis. I thought they were really great. Have fun, I will have to cut probably Saturday or Sunday. Take care.

@@grumpyoldguyreacts You can just listen to any song from them really. When they do Follow The Light and specially Thriller with Cory Wong and the Longhornes the world almost stops.

Well, ill let you find out for yourself 😉 Greetings from Sweden.
