English musician listens to No Party for Caodong for THE FIRST TIME!

[@RockMartian0510]

草東的兩位吉他手是我同學，有一天早上巫毒上課想到了旋律，就找筑筑編一下細節，就這樣他們花了三天時間編曲、詞，在學校的歌唱比賽決賽中，拿到了前三 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnvOm5mnjqt7qqs&ab_channel=hardmetalplayer 影片中的巫毒，剛摔完車沒多久，右手包的是石膏 p.s 筑筑曾說，一般人只知道他們彈吉他厲害，但不知道的是他們每天放學回家，就是一直彈吉他彈到睡著，每天都是抱著吉他起床，靠著這股熱情與意志力，才能稍微做到隨時都有靈感彈出來。

[@blackfadein3527]

感謝分享，那時候的兩人就很有實力了，我滿喜歡他們低調的個性，狂放但收斂，拿捏很好 希望有更多這種幕後的分享

[@seanlifemore]

草東真的神，歌曲想要表達的情感扣人心弦。如此的細膩，如此豪放不羈，但那只是展現給你看的感覺，真正他卻躲藏在更深層的不想被人發現。所以他們的歌的就像礦脈一樣，慢慢的深掘就能得到更多的寶物。

[@Burr_x]

老樂迷看到聽草東好感動🥲他們其實很早就開始活動，只是後面才出專輯，大部分收錄在專輯裡的歌都是已經寫好很久的歌曲，之前就好好奇你聽到他們會有什麼反應，他們是台灣新地下樂團時代的開啟者，最近人責的巡迴有幸買到票去聽，現場更是炸裂，台灣直到現在也沒有幾個團有這個編曲跟voice的實力，如果可以的話希望你也可以聽聽草東的”缸””八”，猜你也會非常喜歡茄子蛋，你一定也會愛上他們的吉他英雄風格☺️可以聽他們的”親愛的無情孫小美”哦！

因為山海這首歌才跑去聽草東沒有派對的歌，曲是真的很勾人，聽一遍就會想再聽第二遍，還有一首我個人特別喜歡「大風吹」，歌詞寫得很有深意，特別是有社會經歷的人，更能體會詞裡影射的情景，血淋淋又無奈的現實，推薦這首歌給各位。

[@nicohuang3196]

哭啊 喊啊 叫你媽媽帶你去買玩具啊 快 快拿到學校炫耀吧 孩子交點朋友吧 這幾句也是從開始類似喃喃自語的吟唱堆疊 接近尾聲一陣輕敲鼓點之後，突然如控訴般瘋狂炸裂震懾全場簡直不要太過癮 只能說，草東真的很會。

just stumbled upon you bro. I'm american and i studied in the mainland for 6 years in Beijing and Shanghai. my best homies from China got me onto caodong since 2020. love this album the most and im so happy to see a foreign reaction to this masterpiece for the first time. this album literally got me thru a lot of tough times when i was in college there. love this so much! thank you bro for this vid

[@sgmaxx12]

Damnnn I just discovered your channel and now that you do vlogss I'm gonna watch them all. I'm learning Chinese and I found my motivation first because I met a friend that is from China and second the rock music I love this band and hiperson. I Hope one day to hear them in person.

[@SetteRespiri]

Cao Dong is one of my fav band of the last 6 years. I'm so so sorry I've missed the live show in Milan and then Fan Fan died. I'm happy they find a way to go forward and comes out with a wonderful new album.

As a taiwanese and indie music lover, I am really honored that you appreciate草東’s music to this level. They really are something special.

[@tmkevinlin]

Thank you for enjoying the music from the Taiwan band. And thank you for the appreciation and the analysis for the performance and the lyrics. That makes these review much deeper. I think the bands in Taiwan are really great. Love the cover you made. It was really awesome and I also respect your spirit in learning mandarin. 😊

[@JoeCreator]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!!

[@prestonlee7107]

they’re composition is very delicate and harmonious. The drums fill every space it needs to, coming in and out perfectly in time. And their lead guitar’s melody is written in tandem with the vocals, like it’s able to switch positions any time. The rhythm guitar and bass supports and gives all their song so much body without ever overtaking the leads.

Hey Joe, Love your content, this is the first time I commented on your videos. The demo at the end goes to show just how hard it is to do this song right. TBH, I had a moment of doubt when you started, then I thought, a full version with your having worked out your manifestation of each point as you mentioned would be quite the treat. Thanks for the good work.

his song was an indispensable catharsis for Taiwanese youth in the Republic of China. Where we live, the money we can earn is not enough to live on, and it is difficult to see our true dreams and future. If there's no way to get off the road, it'll be like this song. An inspiring and depressing song. Very touching and realistic!

went to their recent performance in Taipei, the music was absolutely celestial, and the lights, the stage decorations were perfectly spot on.

[@lindonlin]

I recommend Paudull's "Ocean" here. Foreigners might not have heard of him much because he is just a police officer, but he defeated David Zee Tao, Wang Leehom, Jacky Cheung, and Harlem Yu to win the Best Male Singer award at the 2000 Golden Melody Awards (the biggest music awards in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau). However, he didn't like being in the spotlight, so he retreated to an outlying island after receiving the award. Even though he hasn't released many songs, they are all very pleasant to listen to.

[@nanyanguo1]

this rock song is a classic .Get goosebumps everytime I hear it played. It has psychedelic effect . 👍👍 appreciate your expert songs review . Can you do a review of other older great classics eg Cui JIan 's Fake monk and the rock version of The song of ordinary People by Mayday n Jam Hsiao.
