[@georgewodicka4839]

Paul McCartney was asked a long time ago had the Beatles stayed together through the 70's what band they would sound like, and his immediate answer was always the legendary Electric Light Orchestra. Jeff Lynne has many ties to the members of the Beatles.

[@georgewodicka4839]

@staircase2 Actually had the closest relationship with George, being part of the Traveling Wilburys, and produced music with both Paul and Ringo at separate times. I've read his friendship was strong with all of them.

My fave ELO song 👍🏼

[@annemitchell5510]

Definitely! It's one of their best songs.

[@TheDrumDuke]

Fun fact: Jeff Lyne played and sang everything on this record, except for the drums which is just a one bar loop.

[@chronomatt6990]

Correct. It was also the first ELO song not to have strings. Jeff came back into the studio to record what he thought was a needed album banger well after the group and contracted orchestra were long gone.

[@mikeziegler3365]

I remember when I was first exposed to ELO. I did not see any way in hell that a legit rock n roll band could incorporate violins and cellos. Then I listened to "A New World Record" and was blown away. Then I saw them live... and was sold forever! Respect to Jeff Lynne for his musical genius and willingness to think outside the box.

[@ym61]

I don’t even have to watch this to know enough to hit the like button! Jeff Lynne is one of the all time great singer, songwriter, musician, producers! So many great hits with ELO, Traveling Wilburys, even worked with the Beatles. Livin’ Thing, Sweet Talking Woman are a must, Jamel. Please get to Billy Joel at some point

Which is why Jeff Lynne played guitar at George Harrison’s tribute. That legendary performance when Prince threw his guitar up in the air at the end and it didn’t come down. Probably because of the FIRE he left after that solo...

Jeff Lynne another example of pure musical genius. Not only his work with ELO and his recent tour, Jeff Lynne's ELO, His contribution in helping form the "Travelling Wilburys" group with George Harrison , Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty . Not to mention his work as one of the best record producers in the music business. Incredible .

[@BaronessErsatz]

I get such a kick out of the joy you feel at discovering the music I grew up on---if it can be reliably determined that I ever really grew up, that is!

[@cabdriveruk]

Jeff Lynne has explained that he is singing a made-up word, "Grooss", which some have suggested sounds like the German expression "Gruß," meaning "greeting." Lynne has explained that originally he did not realize the meaning of the syllable, and he just used it as a temporary placekeeper to fill a gap in the lyrics, but upon learning the German meaning he decided to leave it in. After the song's release, so many people had misinterpreted the word as "Bruce" that Lynne actually began to sing the word as "Bruce" for fun at live shows. ELO engineer Reinhold Mack remembers the term differently, stating that Lynne was actually singing "Bruce" as a joke in advance of an Australian tour "referring to how many Australian guys are called Bruce

[@StellaJo67]

Ah, this is the song I'd always turn up in the car and Mom would yell to turn it down. ELO is one of the best bands ever, so much talent.

[@crannbeathadh]

I’ve been trying to pinpoint what it is about reaction videos, certain ones in particular that people watch over and over. Subscribe to, check every day, etc. At first I thought it was just the reactors really loving a song and being moved by the same things I like. But now, I’ve followed different reactors and kind of stuck on your channel because you like the music I like, and it’s nice to see someone else like the same things. It makes us feel part of something bigger. That’s a small portion of why going to concerts is such a church-like experience for me. Validation is a nice part of watching reaction videos, but it’s much more than that. I think in our busy lives we are not as connected to other people as we used to be. We don’t have the time anymore to just sit and chat with people and listen to music together and talk about it. I used to do that when I was younger. “Did you hear that line said about...” and “Yeah, but did you notice that guitar riff?!” “Last year when I listened to that I was going through a breakup...” “I used to sing this in my room after an argument with my parents/boss”, etc. We used to just sit and enjoy things and contemplate together and songs were an avenue to open up about those things that we normally wouldn’t have just brought up in conversation. I think a lot of us have lost that because of our busy work/parenting schedules, and YOU, Jamel, helped bring it back. You are very real and personable. Do you know how many times I’ve almost talked at my screen at you? It’s like you’re here in my living room. Anyway, sorry this is so long. I needed to type it out and maybe some others have noticed the same thing. ✌🏼

[@kentnottingham9635]

Noticed indeed! So much of this rings true for me! I, myself would listen to our only 2 pop/rock stations in Medford, Oregon while building tree forts, and model railroads/slot cars. I got a bit older and, YES, the skating rink, then dance club. E.L.O. Somehow fit into every part of that, as did so many of the songs you react to Jamel. I think you are a one in a million and love your show. I thank you. And thank you “Crannbeathadh”, you hit the nail on the head!

[@hannyhawkins7804]

Everything you say! Remember the thrill of saving up to buy a new album, rushing home with it to listen to it with your best friend, in wonder because only a couple of tracks would have been played on the radio, then dissecting all the lyrics ....... So much time, then.

[@crannbeathadh]

Yes, and I also remember buying a new tape and driving around in my pos car with my friends and singing loudly. I still do that by myself on my commute, but it’s not the same. I want to share those feelings about heartfelt lyrics and their relevance to my experiences with others. I can’t wait to go to concerts again.

In terms of musicianship and skill Rush is sometimes unbeatable. I want to get the 40th anniversary. I also want to get the A Farewell To King’s, one. It’s just hard with Coronavirus. Stay safe and be careful. This guy ranked Rush albums, and he put Hemispheres in the bottom part of his list because it’s has only 4 songs on it.

Here's the story of the "Bruce Lyric line. Don’t Bring Me Down” for the Electric Light Orchestra’s 1979 album, Discovery, Jeff Lynne discovered that he had unwittingly caused confusion with one of the song’s throwaway lyrics. As he explained on the VH1 series Storytellers: “You know that little daft bit in there that goes [unintelligible]. I just made it up in the studio. It was actually ‘groose,’ which happens to mean something. The engineer was German and he said ‘How did you know that word?’ And I said: ‘What word?’ And he said ‘Groose… it means greetings in German.’ I said: “That’s good… I’ll leave it in.” He continues: “We started going on tour and every time we played it everyone used to sing ‘Bruce,’ so I said ‘Ah, f*ck it, I’ll sing Bruce as well’!

ELO has always been among the upper echelons of the most amazing rock-n-rollers on the planet. In this song - I can't say for sure but I always believed em to be saying Groose, rather than Bruce. As in just making a sound rather than a name. Back in the day when I first heard them - I was totally blown away! I'm glad you picked this one to react to

ELO Living Thing is a must as well

[@Coolrockndad]

It's E L O for Electric Light Orchestra. :-)

[@sinenominecc]

Yes. ee-el-oh.

I remember being at my first roller skating party in the fifth grade, skating to this song with my first girlfriend. You can never capture that feeling as an adult. So nice.

I saw ELO in the’80’s opening for Journey in Norman Oklahoma. They busted out the speakers on the first song. Broke my heart. But Journey was amazing. Just wish I’d gotten a good show with ELO. Good band 🥰👍

The best way to listen to the song "Don't Bring Me Down" is through an ald style four channel stereo. The mix is incredible!

[@cynthialuvlight2480]

Jamel, still waiting for "Do Ya" by EL0! Please consider. Been waiting for a year already!🥰😘

[@cynthialuvlight2480]

Studio version please. 😃

[@hydrosuperstar2553]

That's my favorite song by them! I second this.

[@1BobsYourUncle]

I was a boy of 11 years old living in Bedfordshire, England when “Do Ya” came out. Was an instant fan. ✌🏻

[@mandelynmunoz4845]

Oh heck yea! I love this song! You never bring me down haha. I sing Bruce when we got this turned up in the car. It's a great song to sing along to. Awesome reaction. Your joy is infectious.

[@jamessutton3461]

I was little kid, I had this on cassette, and I used to dance around to this in my bedroom in my underwear. I've always loved this song

[@rjkral]

ELO has such a great sound. Just love it. I highly recommend you check out “TWILIGHT” from them. The sound and vibe is stunning.

[@m.hunterstevie2081]

Robert J Kral I only meant to stay awhile...

[@HobGungan]

Yours Truly, 2095. "Time" is such a great album in general.

[@chrismoore58]

If you haven't done it yet, might I recommend the Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Prince and many others performance of George Harrison song When My Guitar Gently Weeps. Best version I have heard.

[@AC-gb7do]

ELO, Air Supply, Rush, Styx...all great bands (in my humble opinion).

[@FjarilGoddess]

The goofy Joyful look of happiness and grattitude when I saw that you aonce again acquiesced to our suggestions/requests and went ahead and dove into the pool of E.L.O.... Im Just plain giddy . Love the way you interact with your audience so open and actively. it makes us feel very much a part of the fun so, Thank you Jamel aka Jamal!

[@Marshyn37]

This song and "Jet Airliner" by Steve Miller Band are my all time favorites.

[@donnaroberts9119]

It makes me so happy that one guy of these younger generations, and across racial lines, makes this old white chick happy, happy happy! Plus you got Pink Floyd!

[@larrswomback5823]

I was 7 in 1979 when I first heard this in my dad's car. Loved it, such good memories. Glad your enjoying it

[@spaztekwarrior]

My fave ELO song. Loved it as an elementary student ages ago... still love it.
