Dirty Loops Cory Wong Thriller Reaction

[@jimcaldwell7659]

At 75, with Parkinson’s & cancer, Dirty Loops gets my hide movin!! You are a great host & analyst, breaking down the dynamics of a piece!! I played a baritone Bb horn for years& love seeing & hearing the contribution of the double bell ! Keep goin’!!!

[@jarreddunlap7065]

The extra bell on the euphonium is called a Marcellophone. Although it's adapted for a euphonium rather than an F attachment trombone in this case, it fits into the tuning slide for the compensating valve on the euphonium and allows for cool hormony effects naturally on the euphonium. It was originally adapted by a man named John Marcellus who was a trombone teacher at Virginia Commonwealth that actually taught my trombone professor while he was working on his masters. Just wanted to give some info on that device since you asked about it.

[@ytteman]

It is a "Double Bell Euphonium", which were manufactured from the 1880s to about 1960. Both bells can't make sound at the same time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_bell_euphonium

[@jakethebard]

@@ytteman Can confirm. I've worked on a couple of them for some symphony players. They're pretty cool horns

[@eastsideeddie]

That horn is called a Mellophone. Tuba and Euphonium hybrid.

[@jcrawford068]

Do you guys know that Dirty Loops filmed in Sweden, and the Cory side filmed in Minnesota - they got identical sets and cameras and stitched the video together. Cory talked about it on his podcast

[@JamilaGomez82]

Yes. It's mentioned in the credits that they're in different places.

[@khaalis9385]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎧🎧🎧Great addition to this reaction!

[@robote7679]

@@JamilaGomez82 I did hear from one source that the background was greenscreen. These are the same lights Loops used on "Rock You."

[@JamilaGomez82]

@@robote7679 Also, Cory and Henrik's bodies cross to the other side, but their shadows don't.

[@KenVallejos]

@@robote7679 Cory and Henrik talk about it in Corey’s podcast. No green screen. They had to source the lights from the other side of the country and rented the exact cameras the DL cats use

[@AMTunLimited]

Fun fact: the album was executive produced by Quincy Jones!

[@JamilaGomez82]

I've always noticed Henrik's smile and Jonah turning to look at Aron when the second verse starts, but it never dawned on me that maybe something was supposed to happen that didn't (like a door slam) until you said that. Very observant of you.

[@pjhelbig]

This is SO good it's ridiculous.

[@SteveEshleman]

The depth of analysis you provided made it impossible for me to hit subscribe quickly enough. Well done!

[@brianmi40]

This makes me think how great it would be for them to do a movie score!

[@alexreid4131]

2:40 as a drummer I subscribed purely based on what you said there. Thank you my friend!

[@OGRider262]

I'm definitely going to get all of their stuff,,,these guys give you everything,,,it's awesome,,,

[@davewroberts]

Man, this is such a roller coaster of a song! I've played a double bell euph. one time in my life, and never thought I would ever see one in a Thriller cover, but yup there it is! INSANE guys!!!

[@josephkocevar1089]

IKR? I’ve only ever played one once too

[@chrisnolte2277]

Great reaction friend! Just found your channel. Love the direction of Wong/Vulfpeck/Cory and the Wong Tones, etc and Dirty Loops. This almost 70 yr old finds a great future for music. Keep preaching it!

[@geocubano]

You should check out the Song "Turbo" with Cory Wong . It is very Tower of Power-ish you will love it as well !

[@redbandita020]

Instant Stank Face the moment the bass drops in!!

[@mattias5157]

I´m a Swede and feel this silly patriotic pride for the Dirty Loops. But to be honest, I come to back to their Thriller version for the horn section just as much. When has anybody heard something similar since the 1960s? Am I exaggerating? Veeery good reaction btw, you surely know your shit!

[@alphieguess8218]

Welcome to the rebirth of Quincy Jones and his horn sections. The blessing we received was from David Foster relinguishing ownership and control of Dirty Lookps contract. He sat on them for a full year and they disbanded. A year later and it was announced that Quincy took over their contract so what you see is Jona Nilson's theory and arrangements being enhanced by the master horn arranger of Quincy Jones. We are truly blessed. And I can say personally, that these guys are the real deal. Actual real musicians who are great people. I met them with my two daughtera November 7, 2014 at the Kessler in Dallas, TX. My daughter, Jada, at the time was 7 years old and was terrified of them, but they did their best to have a conversation with her. The picturee is on my Facebook page. We were the first to meet them in Dallas because she was the youngest concert-goer that evening and they pushed us to the front. Phenominal young men and I am so glad that my oldest daughter turned me on to them. She decided to slip out and get something to eat and me and my youngets got to meet them. It was a long disappointing conversation for her, but I didnt have to tell her to stay put from then on.

[@stephaniebrooks2398]

I have just recently discovered this from another stratosphere band with unparalleled musicianship. Thank the stars they are no longer under David Foster. He had his day with wonderful artists in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I won't say his time has passed, but NO WAY can he handle awesomeness like Dirty Loops! Their sound is universe(s) away from a Foster inspired anything. You definitely hear Quincy's influence but from what I understand, these geniuses can just about do everything themselves.

[@gbulmer]

I do *_not_* believe Quincy Jones had anything to do with the horn arrangements. Three of the horn section were Prince's studio and touring 'Hornheads', where Michael B Nelson (on trombone in this song) was the horns' arranger for Prince. The credits for horn arrangement on this are Michael B Nelson, Dirty Loops and Cory Wong. I do not believe they'd fail to give Quincy Jones due credit if he was involved. Quincy Jones is their manager, not producer. In interview they say they complete the song and video, then hand the finished result over to the Quincy Jones management company. I'm slightly jealous you got to meet them. I hope Jada has happy memories of it. They seem decent, grounded people. Best Wishes. ☮

[@acegh0st]

As someone who was a touring/studio bassist through my 20’s and 30’s, but has since moved on from making my living that way, it’s nice to run across one of these reaction videos where the person actually speaks the appropriate language of an educated pro. Cheers 👍

[@DougRawady]

Outstanding reaction!!

[@johnpegg6771]

Always check the credits at the end. Often some funny stuff in there. Keep doing it J.

[@alphieguess8218]

I am not sure how I got on your video, but I am glad I did. I have 2 grammy-award winning friends and one is Quentin E. Baxter out of Charleston, SC. You need to check him out. As I said earlier in the comments this makes so much sense now. Check out the Quincy Jones documentary and realize that the 500M man heard them once and he made an offer. These guys disbanded for two years under Foster. I love David Foster. Without him, there would be no Earth, Wind, and Fire! But they are no Michael Buble. Basically, I love that other musicians can translate the conversations. We are blessed that we can do this. Meeting this was life-changing and then they are the nicest guys! I love your face. Only a drummer can make those faces.

[@monimoni305]

I am glad you discovered Dirty Loops! This is epic artistry.

[@PamArtsValentine]

LOVE Dirty Loops & Cory Wong is also fantastic! Bass is my favorite instrument & it doesn't get much better than Henrik Linder! (Of course, I'm a major Victor Wooten fan, as well!) 🥰

[@khaalis9385]

This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼son! Love watching your mind work!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@jordanPRS89]

I love listening to someone who is obviously a good musician (though I've never heard you) listen to and talk about some incredible musicians. You have the best reaction videos!

[@christofferengstrom4676]

Thats a great reaction! Yoy notice every good part in the song👏👏

[@voncileminter9473]

Thank you for this. Your channel lights a fire in my 70yr old heart. Takes me back 55yrs to my favortite High School class and teacher. Keep going and always be you. By the way, I discovered you and subscribed after my second viewing months ago.😊

[@cmorrowk]

That would be a double-bell euphonium. First time I have EVER seen one used. I always thought it was a made up instrument from The Music Man!

[@TheYeetusLord]

300th like, from one drummer to another, I loved watching you disect certain bits that I didn't even notice :D great video brother

[@XViTNg]

I just love the groove of this. It’s like got an12 sounding groove instead of the straight 4 groove on Jackson’s song. It’s hard to change the groove a song this incredibly iconic and well known and make it this good

[@strombergds]

Tnx for a inspiring reaction, Think u would go crazy on the Singer/keyboard player Jonah Nilssons new soloalbum, Do "Diamond Ring" please👍

[@cristarose503]

Thank You for introducing me to these guys.

[@erb34]

Awesome... Horns were Princes'

[@musicguyrml]

Fantastic review from a fellow knowledgeable and clearly talented musician.. love and peace!

[@tordconcord]

They also recorded seperatly. Dirty Loops in Sweden and Cory in USA

[@Nixenji]

Great reaction! 👏 🙏 💖

[@thage7729]

Cory Wong’s horn section are none other than ‘The Horn Heads’ who played with Prince. You should check out one of Quincy Jones’ other discoveries: Jacob Collier. i recommend “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing”

[@Gnomojo]

You killed the number in the drummer yo. Sometimes you just gotta keep that pocket going. It’s not about you. Take a seat! Right?

[@TaylorHudson]

I want something so bad on the door slam, glad someone else felt it was missing. But on an interesting note, this was not recorded live. In fact, Dirty Loops recorded their videos for the album in Sweden, and Cory and his players recreated the set up in Minnesota. They have never met in person.

[@DanSpomer]

Great reaction. Thanks.

[@keithshowell6688]

Exvellent review and acknowlegdwment of the drummer's "roll" (role!) as a musician who knows when to step up or lay low in the cut. New sub and former drummer (turned baseball player; both, "back in the day"😄

[@williamkohrman1033]

You ever need a sax player? I can provide the sauce 😄 Seriously though, I would love to play with someone that has such positive energy like you do!

[@Eightphoenix]

Love this reaction, man! So good. You ever checked out any of Matt Gartska's playthroughs for the last Animals as Leaders album? One of the best drummers in the scene.

[@milabeme]

You MUST react to "Next to You" if you haven't already heard it.

[@chrisk7652]

This was fantastic!!! I hate to beg, BUT.... I know we, as subscribers and lovers of what you do, (geez!!) Would LOVE to watch you listen and react ro Jacob Collier with Take 6 cover Lionel Richie's, All Night Long... PLEASE.. PLEASE.... PLEASE.... HAHA

[@jcrawford068]

BTW excellent review!

[@jaroq10]

What is the background music when you are talking? Sounds really good too

[@mattias5157]

So you like good musicians? If you haven´t reacted to Juan Gabriel, live at Bellas Artes, you should do that? Favourite song: Hasta que te conoci. It´s a blast, you are goona love it!

[@LatinoGamer96]

Man, i've been loving your react videos. You should react to the druming on Slaughter To Prevail - Demolisher. It'll blow your mind

[@rickmcintosh5787]

If you like to listen to music during your workouts, every song they have made should be on your I-Pad, phone or any devise you use, nothing but ass kicking music

[@mindclip2000]

Hi, you should react to my man Simon Grey - Takuma you wont be disappointed

[@jussiparkkonen9853]

My man was so disgusted to the groove. Amazing reaction and stank-face!

[@t.a.e9143]

Old fart here. You certainly seem to know what your'e talking about here. Well said. Be great, keep it up, and then up it.
