Mats & Morgan band - Hollmervalsen

[@BobbyJamesCote333]

Amazing how after almost 40 yrs of Playing and Listening to Various types of Music, I am just now hearing of this... Might I add, THIS IS AWESOME!!! Thank You for the Inspiration ☺️ There Definitely should be More Music like this In today's world... 💯❤️😎

[@BobWilliam]

We NEED Prog bands like this nowdays!

[@tmayne220]

12 years later and i still agree.

[@BobWilliam]

@@tmayne220 Still alive, still listening to Prog Bands like this.

[@mykodemgrzybodem]

Same haha

[@snail415]

Shit…we need this 12 years after you posted your comment. 😂

[@SterlingSimmons22]

We need it now more than ever

[@skalpathal]

It's from a Swedish TV show called Trum that aired about 10 years or so ago. If you search for "Morgan Ågren Trum" you should find full episodes here on KZbin. It's mostly talking, drum lessons and record tips so not sure how useful that is if you don't speak Swedish, but every episode has one or more live performances.

[@progperljungman8218]

Actually, the majority of the short episodes was always the live performances and some of the talking was Morgan showing vinyls from his favorite inspirations. All this though being an educational show at public service TV. But Morgan was free to fill it with whatever he liked to 😊

[@tennwilcox8663]

Uckin' Fey. Most excellent. Am just now discovering this ensemble of incredible talent, where have I been all my life? Here Now, near how, Hear Now, brown cow.

if SETI wants to get any action back - they really should be beaming THIS out there

[@Automat1cJack]

This is the best thing I've heard as a YT comment and I totally agree!

[@roguepotatoe]

This is fantastic, thank you

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

THIS BAND IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@Trintha00]

I get shivers down my spine every time I hear this. Mats' style is insane and he's hilarious to watch. Lifting up his shirt during the scream, rofl. And Morgan Agren blows my mind as well. So intense I just want to close the damn video! But it's too good!

[@aureliomoreira3860]

Morgan Agren is the real drummer of DJENT music!

[@Goreburger.]

djent,jazz,prog call it what you want I totally agree!

[@parasytex6844]

Tomas Haake

[@jonasthemovie]

@@parasytex6844 When Tomas Haake cannot figure something out, he calls Morgan.

[@SterlingSimmons22]

@Barry Oliver Djazz

[@progperljungman8218]

​@@jonasthemovieWhen Fredrik Thordendahl wants to make a solo album he calls Morgan (and lets Haake do the voice) 😊 (LOVE Haake btw and Morgan couldn't do all he does as good - but Morgan is def more versatile!)

[@joromark]

To me these guys simply define "ahead of the curve". Just seems to me that scandinavians are always pushing it a step further... Just take bands like Meshuggah for example (or even The Cardigans hahahah) Excellent and inspiring! Thank you Mr Zappa would have been so proud!

[@БудниПетели]

Yooo bg

[@lemokolyon]

Bill Bruford's Earthwork too

[@syzrs]

love the bass players sounds...... fantastic.

[@jublaim]

This was fun! "Vinnie, where's five?" "Five".

[@mikepostdrums]

Crazy how tight they played this.. LIVE!

[@petimester]

The whole song is great, but the part at 5:51 is pure genius! I wish I'll get to see them live one day!

[@Slayer21394]

Great song! Probably the best I've heard from them so far.

[@tommorellorules]

Awesome, the Malmsteen reference was hilarious

[@Purkinje90]

There is a remastered version of this entire concert on Morgan's youtube channel

[@lavenderbride]

So good

[@GoodSneakers]

Saw them live in 2005. There were lots of musical instruments for sale in the classifieds and craigslists ads the week after the gig.

[@MrTantarian]

TRUM har gått på min dator under många herrans år, jag kan helt enkelt inte få nog av det! :)

[@q13ert]

Hearing the section at 5:50 always puts a smile on my face!

[@JeffreyMulac8]

One of the best jazz fusion groups on earth. All are great musicians. Everything they do-Zappa would be huge fan.

[@jonasthemovie]

Zappa was a huge fan.

[@danengman7294]

They even played with Zappa.

[@WailingGita]

So damn whacky.. It definitely does feel Nintendo like. It's got a dungeon/battle atmosphere.

[@jakehawthorn]

Defiantly a BOSS fight.

[@MrGul]

jakehawthorn *Definitely - "Defiantly" means something totally different (characterized by defiance; boldly resistant or challenging: a defiant attitude).

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

​@@MrGul True, but I think both words were applicable here: a defiantly definite Nintendo boss-fight sound track! Or maybe I'm too happy my state legalized marijuana. Definitely one of the two...

[@xavilend]

Mats and Morgan play the music the teacher tells you not to, the silly noises that put a big fucking grin on your face and I love it. It's not popular stuff, it's not following a standard musical formula... they're just having a blast, I suspect they'd be at home doing it even if nobody else cared to listen.

[@snail415]

I hear SMS Shinobi, Wonder Boy in Monsterland, Rastan, NES Tiger-Heli, Paperboy, RC Pro-Am, Spy Hunter, and a little bit of Goonies 2. 😂

[@parzooman]

Great song. They are just incredible.

[@faultandfracture]

this is reeeeeeaally good. really.

[@MsByron97]

once I listened to this a few times it just got stuck in my head, I'd be going to sleep with this playing in my mind

[@lemokolyon]

You dream in 7/8 and 10/8? 😉

[@Riroraruro]

Om jag gifter mig någon gång så måste det här vara intromusiken.

[@tompo010101]

these guys are so good at music that they just play around with it

[@3xcs]

I love this tune, thanks for uploading this..

[@Flemmingdoerken]

The groove in 10/8 that starts at around 00:31 is just killer! Actually, the whole thing is, but that section is especially brilliant.

[@PACKyourSHITfolks420]

[@tanzteufel]

I'm playing this for my 2 month old son; I think I see a little bulge where his brain is growing

Mats lifting his shirt up from outta nowhere freaked me out for a second.

so complex & so groovin'!!! gives me mad chillz!!!

hahaha, love it when they all scream. Great song! Thanks Simon.

[@wendelynmusic]

Sweet! First time hearing these guys. Wow

[@masterjimmy3000]

What an incredible performance. Now would somebody rip it, synch the audio and re-post? Please! I would do it, but I'm stupid. I only know how to complain. But seriously, excellent post. Love it. Thanks.

When buddy lifted up his shirt. I liked that. Nod to Zappa??

[@davel.9467]

Sooooooooooooo effin' good!!!

[@FreakShreek]

Really really really awesome!!! I am off to make a prog band now :D

[@MaXaNoMaLoUs]

This should be what Trance sounds like, it sure put me in one! Super rythmically intricate. Frank Zappa is laughing somewhere;)

[@musicisthebestF]

It no miracle to me that Frank Zappa liked these musicians : ) The drummer is now officailly my second Favorite drummer in the world my Fav. is still Marco Minnemann

[@dumpygoodness4086]

interesting. I can't get into MM. Seems like a great guy... but for some reason I just can't enjoy his drumming no matter what. Weird. I like Thomas Lang's more avant drumming... (he does stuff no other drummer ever did) (wish he was less mechanical though) and Benny Greb's delicious dynamics. Gavin Harrison (currently in King Crimson) was my fave for a bit but he's too much brain. I need BRAINS... plus PASSION.

[@dumpygoodness4086]

another of my FAVE new drummers is a dude from Montreal noise duo (casio and drums!) called LAZOR BLADE. don't know his name, but he's a fantastic balance of "shambling" and "tight as hell"!

[@StevenMasonBranding]

@@dumpygoodness4086 Dave King (The Bad Plus); Nate Wood; Brian Blade (from the sublime to the volcanic in 1ms); Kenwood Dennard; Jeff Hamilton; Chris Coleman; the original drummer for Anglagard (don't remember his name); Joey Baron; André Ceccarelli; Kendrick Scott; are some

[@xavilend]

@@dumpygoodness4086 Agreed, Marco is fantastic, but lacks the hook for me, Morgan would still be musical if everyone else stopped.

Själv tycker jag det är underbart.

Well, your nickname tells me all I need to know, so all I'm going to say is that I find it very catchy and thoroughly enjoyable. Return to the gloomy pit from whence you came and never return!

[@Nebuloid1]

5:51 and onwards, perfection !

[@FERIASYATRACCIONES]

great!!

[@Flemmingdoerken]

@JensClaesson By that logic I could ask you why anyone would count in quarter notes instead of 2nd notes: Because it's not the same thing. If 8/8 is the same as 4/4, then it's also the same thing as 2/2 and even 1/1, but you don't count or play it like that. How would you play something in a crazy time signature like 15/16 or 29/32 if you're only counting quarter notes?

[@tsnowsill]

Indeed, Tommy doesn't get enough credit, some of the bass parts are very out there.

[@Booza70]
