Sir Elton John talking about 2CELLOS Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser

[@rargafragaman]

when Elton John sees you on youtube and says "I want them in my band" you know you're amazing

[@DaveyWilliamsPantzNotRequired]

Elton John is a showman first and always ... my mom said even when she met him in the sixties he was a diva but he knew how to put on a show. He knows how to create buzz ... he really is just a second incarnation of Liberace ... and believe me that's no slagging they both are brilliant performers and pianists but there are people that play their life all at higher levels that will never see the even 1% of the money he has made

[@MrAobrady]

They’ll outgrown me - humble & honest. What a great man allowing others to step onto his shoulders & fly in their own right

[@truthteller2580]

Do they ever perform without needing to restring the bows? The best cello I have ever heard. They seem to be able to play anything from classic to unrestraned rock and make it sound like it was written only for them.

[@marenkuether-ulberg3311]

Nah, they destroy those bows - magnificently. Every piece probably needs a newly strung bow - dozens. Watching that horse hair snap with so much passion is part of the magic they let us indulge in. Years of loving the 2Cellos!! 👏🏽🏟🌏

[@debscott7580]

much of what they play was written by them, they take a tune with a great melody or riff and rearrange it to suit the cello...we will be hearing much more from them of their own compositions in the future...they have already begun with "Celloverse"

[@sandrabontly2447]

These interviews were incredible snd very funny even though there wasn’t any translation to English 🐽. I was laughing just enjoying the interviews . Thank you 2 Cellos for sharing your joy snd talents continued love and success🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@margaretricher4474]

I can tell these guys are classically trained, but their talent also lies in that they can combine so many different genres and they make it seem like it was always supposed to be. Love these guys! Love their enthusiasm and their talent at such an early age. Looking forward to seeing them for many years in the future!

They are absolutely incredible. I absolutely love them and everything they play. They can make you dance or cry. They play with so much passion. A fan for life 💙💙

[@Ravensong318]

The standing ovation ... I saw these guys in UT a couple of years ago, and after the first couple of songs - which were classical - as they moved on to rock, the audience stood ... and never sat down again. Myself included! I've never been to a concert with so much energy from both performers and audience in my life. And I'm old! By far, the best I'd ever attended. It was a night I will remember for a very long time, and I hope to repeat again in the future. Rock on, guys ... you are absolutely amazing!

You, Sir, are, beside a thousand other amazing things, a true gentleman. Hat down. It was so incredibly nice of you to recognize their talent, invite them to your band and help them get even more recognition. You are most kind to praise and acknowledge these awesome young musicians so much. It is so lovely to see a true world class star who is so modest and real, down to earth, really. May you live a long and healthy life, Sir Elton John. Best Regards from Slovenia (Luka is Slovenian and this small nation is so proud of him, and also Stjepan, of course, who comes from Croatia).

[@moraxellacataralis]

[@vinkomir9964]

Luka Šulić is Croat who lives in Slovenia. Thats is diference.

[@alesplut6209]

​@@vinkomir9964 don't spread disinformation or should I say lies, please. Luka Sulić is a Slovenian who was born to a Slovenian mother and a Croatian father and grew up in Slovenia, in Maribor. He has Slovenian citizenship and through his father also Croatian citizenship in addition. In Croatia, in Zagreb, he just continued his cello studies for a period of time. It is only fair to say that Luka has Croatian roots through his father, but he is not a Croat. He is Slovenian. Actually, he is both. ;)

I am a citizen of Earth". Nothing you, in perticular, but also I could ever say. We are nobodies in this sense, and Luka is well known throuout the World. ;) Only small people claim people and stuff for themselves, and the same goes for nations...

[@valeriemariscal9886]

I don't have words for your talent and range. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@BearCreekDawn]

it's interesting that he calls it "homo-erotic" but without a sexual aspect. I can see that. Music is so sensual and emotional. It is responsive. it has a give and take and flow, and is actually quite erotic in a way. i appreciate how he as allowed me to see a new definition of "erotic."

[@purplelord8531]

very true, and a very apt way of describing 2cello's performances but... just imagine being so good that Elton John calls you gay I can't

how true everything you say elton. i discovered them only recently on youtube and now i can't get enough of them. they are simply amazing. i've bought tickets to see them soon in pistoia and i'm counting the days. they are passionate when playing and oh so talented. they transport me to another world.

This is why ordinary people like me have to refer to you as Sir. Sir Elton John, you have said it right !

[@Dichtsau]

he hasn't said anything that nobody else could've said. he's just a royal knight because he made so much influence and in accordance to that is a very useful freemasonic influencer. no big deal about freemasons, they simply wanna keep the ouroboros moving (and there is no good without the evil).

[@pfalky2k]

I call no man "sir". yet there are some who are just "Better". by thought, word, action. loved EJ (musically) back in the early 70s (as a child) love that music still. not so keen on his later writing (80s+, with the exception of The Lion King - more to do with the feline subject matter than anything else lol) but EJ just strikes me as a fine human being, from any interview I've seen with him - few as they are. that he gave these 2croation fellas a boost, just because they're good (VERY good), puts yet another shining feather in his hat. he's a lovely man (I type, as I sit here, snapping my teeth at a irritating wee fly flitting between me & my PC screen. i'm sure EJ is pleased a thing somewhere between a protohuman & a cat thinks he's a decent fella LMAO)

[@patrickholt2270]

It's what music does to you, not sexuality. When you watch Gary Moore shredding, and the ecstacy it paints on his face is the same thing, and that's just him on his own with his guitar.

[@phillipstai7204]

Exactly. Nothing homosexual as such but the raw and nearly sexual energy of a two people so in tune with each other. A homophonic relationship that drags feelings from the depths of the erotic senses at your core.

[@akirealamub]

I just saw these 2 guys playing with Elton John at the Million Dollar Piano concert at Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas on Sat April 20, and was blown away by the talent that these 2 brought to the game. I hadn't heard of them before that night, but I had to look them up. Pure, pure talent. And entertaining. They will be legends, since they took something like the Cello, and made it their own. Yes, others have done, but not in tandem like this, and not with the stage presense they bring. They are cutting edge, new, and now stars.

Elton had the foresight to seek them out to be in his band, it shows his genius as a musician. I'm not a HUGE Elton John fan, I do like a lot his music, but his writing abilities are second to none, he IS a genius melody writer, equally said for Bernie Taupin for his lyrics.

[@daughterofjack]

[@BikerDash]

Elton John's use of the term homoerotic is incomplete. They go beyond that. The connection literally feels like a psychic/empathic connection when they play. The connection is just that complete. They, in my opinion, surpass even the great Jimi Hendrix in brilliance.

I like them both, I see no reason to slender one or the other or put one higher and the other one lower! There's an ample space in the musical scene, there's certainly enough room for both Apocalytica and 2Cellos and I'm sure there are others who take the cello to higher grounds!
