[@jvierinen]

I spent 500 hours learning to play cowbell, I think I got it.

[@julyssagunn8977]

I can't tell if you guys being sarcastic rn xD

[@poserp]

All this time I thought I had to face the rising sun in order to get the best tone and sustain from a cowbell. Boy was I wrong.

[@morticiansdaughter4011]

It is listen to don't fear the reaper by the blue oyster cult.

[@TheOriginalMoc]

don't fear the reaper, for me the ultimate cowbell song.

[@pauljones3017]

By the Riverside Lads.

[@friedcash9815]

Fear is the path to the dark side. ... and there is no cowbell on the dark side

[@0oEleveo0]

Thank you for this video. I am now an award wining cowbell playing who travels around the world to perform.

[@xenakis9]

I really learned a lot of amazing stuff from this video. Most of all, before watching this, I had never noticed the thematic similarity between "Mozart's 4th" and the opening of the first movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. An incredible revelation...

[@calliehershey1782]

wonderful! I'll always make sure to face due north when playing cowbell, even when prone! thanks!

[@Thanathos]

It's 2023 and we still need more cowbell.

[@v94j]

might have been a cover?

[@baikenmeirambekov4321]

this here is probably the oldest comment on this video, how come it has no likes is out of my understanding

[@Metal-Possum]

Fuck the cowbell, it's too damned hard. I'm going back to my triangle.

[@scizessita]

I put cowbell in the search bar because I really wanted to learn some new patterns and instead i find myself just sitting here with tears streaming down my face.

[@bardosland]

My whole life I have been trying to master this elusive instrument. I would leave school for 3 hours at a time everyday to play the cowbell. I sacrificed my education for cowbell. I graduated with very low grades in 2002. My life could have been very different had this video come out earlier than 2006. I have always used the 'Midgets fist' as my preferred grip on the cowbell. But the resulting sound was not one that touched you deep in your soul. I can only assume had this video existed prior to me graduating high school I would have been the Justin Bieber of cowbell. I would have had 40 somethings crawling all over my ballsack. Oh well. Ce La Belieb.

[@bonitoflakes7974]

2006 was a weird year i guess

[@alexmckenzie1300]

shit thats Beethoven's 5th not Mozart's 4th

[@pauljones3017]

And the "modern song" was by Blue Öyster Cult, not the Beach Boys.

[@dvision23]

Gene is remembered well for his contribution. But much of the credit deservingly goes to Bruce. Now there was a producer.

[@dariusmahamedi4917]

this video could've used a little more cowbell

[@TannerCLynn]

"Mozart's 4th" Plays Beethoven 5..

there is no way this is serious, this is way to hilarious.

[@ETBrooD]

Fun fact: the cowbell was the first musical instrument ever built and it was invented in the year 2000.

[@nainorotodox]

so instruments were never built before? were they growing up in trees or something?

THANK YOU! I was always been criticized for playing the Cow Bell the wrong way, I mean, I've try everything, from playing it naked, during a sky dive, underwater, or in the middle of a bar filled with Hell's Angels members! Now I can rock on with my Cowbell!
