This guy hears a song for 2 minutes and plays it correctly on piano 👏🏻

[@Goddess_Moros]

Well, it's not too crazy harmonically. (Just having crazy complex chords =/= good music so this isn't a diss on the song.)

[@lucaskowan1139]

The dooo has entered the chat: are you challenging me?

[@mama_nez]

PLEASE DO MORE TWENTY ONE PILOTS!! If you want songs that change up multiple times check out Ode to Sleep and Guns for Hands. Also Twenty One Pilots fans don't mind pausing because we know that's the only way to stop them being blocked.

Tyler writes all the songs and then Josh typically comes in after lays down the live drums

[@Pookie_bear911]

Josh writes the drum parts

[@themanmrjones]

They typically don’t have a backing band live, they are incredibly tight for the amount of energy they throw at each song. There’s usually a backing track with all the programmed drums playing along with the live drums and then the various synth and piano lines coming in and out as they trigger them. As they’ve gotten bigger they’ve automated a bit more but they find ways to be playing music in each song live regardless of the backing tracks

[@lisaperkie7551]

Child of the 80s here too (just turned 50 last week ✌🏻). Josh Dun, the drummer, recorded and engineered the drums himself for this song from his home studio and Tyler did his part from his home studio. Live this band. I started drum lessons at 48 because of them! The BEST interactive live band I have ever seen. Watch some of their lives from Lollapalooza! So much energy! Great reaction!

[@MusicShed]

Happy Birthday Lisa!!!!

[@lisaperkie7551]

@@MusicShed Thank You!!

[@jeremycherry6762]

At one point they said the reason they aren't going to add more people is because having just the two of them makes them have to work harder to put on a great live show and helps keep them humble

[@jeremycherry6762]

@@lisaperkie7551 amen, I'm so ready for live music to come back. So many shows I wanna go to

[@eboethrasher]

I think if they ever added anyone it would be if the original bassist wanted to come back. But Tyler seems to enjoy playing bass. But now that Tyler likes to play guitar, the bassist could come back, play on everything, and Tyler could swap between guitar and piano. Eh, they will always do what they want.

[@Pilutta100]

I'm 50 this year and did my most easily influenced years in the 80s too, I hated what was played on the radio ,and went for synth and metal. So when ToP came I was screaming out of joy. And then this!!!! I'm so inlove with this song it's ridiculous.

[@amyholmes2045]

They have several “breakdown sessions” that you would love showing Tyler’s amazing musical brilliance,

[@girlwithnoname956]

Yes! Those would be amazing. So far he has not seen Tyler play much more than a few notes. LOC outside and Shy Away could give the impression he is only a singer. So wrong.

[@jeremycherry6762]

No they don't hire a band for live shows. It's always just them.

[@CristianKirk]

Yes, it's practically playback or karaoke.

[@realtealcovers232]

These 2 guys will show a better show than a whole band. They have shows that will absolutely blow your mind.

[@stevereese1943]

Twenty one pilots are amazing. Very deep and interesting lyrics, especially in their older songs. "My Blood from the Live Lounge" 11/10. He has a story teller performance that might be my favorite video on youtube. The name comes from a story about a guy who sold parts to make airplanes in WWI (?). He switched to a cheaper part to make more money, but 21 pilots died because the part was faulty.

[@lisaperkie7551]

Yep! Their name is from All My Sons, which is an Arthur Miller play. Tyler has said they picked the name from that play to remind themselves to always do the right thing. Love them!!

[@irenesnyder1819]

C-bus (Columbus) is so proud of our hometown duo! We look forward to & enjoy each of their new albums because we know that they're going to be fresh and inventive.

[@iczorro]

If you want high interaction on your channel, keep covering TOP. The fan base is rabidly friendly and knowledgeable about everything having to do with the band. For instance, if you cover Jumpsuit, Nico and the Niners, or Levitate from the album Trench (that's the order, and if you do one, you should do all three), you will get people explaining the huge mythology built up around the metaphorical city of Dema. They play live as a duo, no backing band, but the drummer Josh runs a lot of the backing tracks from a laptop whilst also drumming. And contradictory to your comments, Josh is notably a very tight, hard hitting drummer, much in the style of Travis Barker. The name Twenty One Pilots, by the way, is a literary reference. I don't remember the whole story (I'm sure someone can fill in in the comments) but it has to do with doing the right thing even when it comes at a personal cost. And if you like the way they change style and tempo within a song, check out Ode to Sleep or Guns for Hands. If you want to watch Tyler work in the studio, check out the album version of The Hype followed by the Germany studio session for The Hype, where he completely redoes the song. Or, similar to the Mutemath Sessions, watch the one where he breaks down and solo performs/live loops five songs in Brooklyn.

[@tanyac9660]

Yessss to all of this ☝🏼☝🏼

[@noahjansen4920]

This song fucking rocks!

[@ELias-vn5yv]

Their live shows are just them. Amazing performances. They are so good live and it’s just them two

[@ideasmatter4737]

It’s just the two of them. Tyler does all vocals and plays piano, bass, guitar, ukulele, and some rhythm, and lays down the backing tracks for the live performances. Josh is on drums, and trumpet (rare). They are both self-taught, and say they just play music they’d like to hear. They’ve worked with a few different producers through the years, but this next album, Scaled and Icy, was produced just by Tyler in his basement studio! Super creative!

[@katstorm13]

There's a drum teacher who reacted to 2 of their live songs and said that while Josh was an amazing drummer who did complex beats that even took him a bit to learn, he obviously learned by watching Travis Barker of Blink 182 and their technique isn't great regarding drumstick holding. (Josh has confirmed he did in fact watch a lot of Travis while learning to play.)

[@katstorm13]

On tempo changes... here's a lyric from their song Lane Boy "If it was our way, we'd have a tempo change every other time change 'Cause our mind's changed on what we think is good..."

[@OMsBeliever]

i love that you're comparing them to The Beatles and Dylan. They deserve it.

[@lanceb247Upload]

You should try to re-submit those blocked reactions after you blur the video - some folks stick a semi-transparent image overlay on top of the video and that usually works to avoid getting blocked as well. Would love to watch those reactions! Do you have them up somewhere other than KZbin? Loved your reaction and would love to see more!

[@TophsterOven]

They are one of my favorite live shows of all time.

[@nicolleaguiar2096]

He listened to the song one single time and played it right 😅 and I love the fact the you payed attention on the drums in this song.

[@pjeffries301]

David: "don't repeat yourself as an artist" AC\DC: "Hold my $$$"

[@MartoRoss]

The band name comes from the 1947 play All My Sons and Tyler draws a parallelism between the dilemma of the Protagonist and the "narrative" of the music/lyrics he creates, both Tyler and Josh think of their music as a way to encourage someone "think" They are best friends with similar "grow environment" (Conservative Christian households) Also since the first Album Tyler was telling a story trough out most of their songs most have to be with self-doubt, fears, anxiety, depression, faith

[@MusicShed]

I love that

[@nixson66]

You NEED to see the BERLIN SESSIONS. THE HYPE. listen to their original and then check that one out. Amazing

[@girlwithnoname956]

Yes! These are amazing. But please react to twenty one pilots The Hype original music video first, and the follow immediately with The Hype -Location Sessions (Berlin). React to both in the same reaction video ideally, so the song is fresh in your memory.

[@jacobmclean2564]

their live shows are insane BECAUSE they DONT hire a band. They take a lot of pride in their ability to perform, just the two of them. PLZ do more pilots, i highly recommend Ode to Sleep, Cut My Lip, and Addict With a Pen!!

[@edouardparadis1523]

They are just 2 during their concerts and it’s the best show you could possibly dream of 🤩🤩

[@m0byy]

The name is inspired by Arthur Millers "All my sons" in which 21 pilots died due to a moral decision of someone building airplane parts?! Those moral decisions between faith and feelings are a big topic in especially their older music. I have them tattooed on me for a reason. Tyler is such a genius in terms of songwriting. Pure love for these guys.

[@kyle_hill_864]

During live performances, it is just the 2 of them. They sometimes bring guests on stage, but it is just the two of them, even when doing a world tour. Tyler, the lead singer, has said in interviews that he prefers being a two person band as it makes shows more intimate, but also means the space is Lisa cluttered than if they were say a 4 piece or 5 piece band. The name also comes from the play All My Sons by Arthur Miller, wherein a man commits suicide after causing the death of Twenty One Pilots during WW2 by sending faulty parts knowingly for the good of his business.

[@shaunacohen7630]

To experience them live, please check out Trees Live at the Fox Theater. It is amazing! Even if you watch on your own time it is worth a review.

[@Mimoo7]

i totally got the 80s vibe too. first time i listened to this, the breakfast club kept popping into my head haha :)

[@srths8868]

I know you don't do recommendation here, but you should react to some other TOP songs, like the vessel album is very good, and so it their most recent album trench, especially trench the more you learn about the album the better it gets, it's not just a collection of songs, they're all related and flow together

Great reaction, love the musical insight. It's funny that you say this song changes so much. You need to react to Ode to Sleep and lane boy. And then go on a reaction binge of twenty one pilots. You will be floored by how diverse they are. OOH and Goner live at Fox theater

[@girlwithnoname956]

Yes, please. Love Fox Theater songs. And Ode to sleep. Oh Just do all TOP songs!

[@angiehh516]

I found this tidbit interesting …. Rolling Stone reviewed data on 10 years of music hits and found that, over the last decade, only 4% of the year-end Top 50 songs have come from an individual. And the figure drops to 3.2% if you count by number of unique songwriters. (Twenty One Pilots’ Tyler Joseph wrote three of these single-writer songs, as did Calvin Harris.) In combining these lists, it appears that it takes, on average, five writers to write a hit song. Tyler is extremely talented to teach himself all these instruments in addition to writing insane lyrics and singing and rapping. I’m impressed. Best two concerts of my life (I’m 42 and my husband is 49). You would really like watching the deconstructed vids that they do.

[@space_1073]

[@AJZ0626]

Please react to the live version of "Kitchen Sink" by Twenty One Pilots

[@mehairbowl01]

"Twenty One Pilots " comes from an Arthur Miller play, "All My Sons". The dad in the play made a decision to allow faulty parts to be shipped from his factory and the result was that twenty one pilots died because of these faulty parts. Thus, making the right choice ? correct choice? moral choice? or the opposite has cause and affect in other lives!

[@MusicShed]

I love that

[@saltysesa]

@@MusicShed Yes! I scrolled through the comments to see if anyone had answered this yet! I love the meaning behind their band name.... Do we do what's right, or do we do what's easy? There is always a deep meaning with everything they do.

[@Pilutta100]

You should watch their Berlin sessions. Tyler Joseph the singer is a genius and you will see it soon if haven't already 😁 Drummer Josh Dun is very recognized as a spectacular amazing talent also. And I loved your reaction, hugs from Sweden

[@cherrylane79]

Some either put something on the video or put them on IGTV. I like the fact that in the backing vocals you can hear Tyler's vocal fry and scream. (you can find just the vocals on KZbin) This song is for Tyler's brother Jay, who started his own music career. Tyler showed him the whole process of making a song, with this one. Also the lore is going to continue on this new TOP album. You probably don't know about the Blurryface character or the Dema and the bishops, Clancy, etc? TOP has always relied heavily on technology, so everything that can't be produced on the live show, is pre-recorded. At first Tyler had two band mates, they both quit. Then he got Josh to the drums. I think that Josh used to control the playback, until the live shows got so huge, that they got sound guys etc. to do the work.

[@PEP.]

he controls the playback from one single pedal now, confirmed by Father John - however the laptops running the ableton session are at FOH. The shows wouldnt be able to work with sound guys controlling them because its all so dependant on exact timings with metronomes and tyler and josh being ready with each other before starting a song.

[@yzzaJ]

Thank you for persevering with Twenty One Pilots, I think you reacting to them is a great combination. I wonder if you would enjoy Ode to Sleep? An older song of theirs, but very quirky with lots of variation. The official music video is a documentary style, and gives a good insight in to their progression and fan base growth.

Thanks for the twenty one pilots reaction! Pause as often as you need, even rewind 5-seconds (J key). We don't mind if you stop to point out something about their song. And it gives more original content!

[@eboethrasher]

Sometimes it is nice when a band comes back to a sound that is a signature sound though, too. It can be very powerful if they are known for a certain thing that they do better than anyone else, and then they elevate it. Like The Cure. But it doesn't sound like you liked The Cure, lol.

[@katstorm13]

Definitely getting The Cure vibes at 4:48, right after the shhhh. I didn't learn about alternative music until my senior year of high school when my best friends sister went to college. I guess that's why they sometimes call it college rock? Lol

[@christophereggers5519]

The lead singer Tyler is a self taught pianist.

[@FroDiKa_Music]

to your question at around 7:33. i think that type of hi-hai playing is called the moela technique i think (don't know the spelling, so more experienced drummers can correct me if i'm wrong hehe).. and it's basically an easier way of producing ghostnotes on the hi-hat... it's more difficult to have a dynamically changing hi-hat in general and this song in particular if you use both hands.. all though i would probably do it as my technique sucks and i would cramp up immediately at this tempo haha xD you also keep all the 16th notes in the hi-hat which you wouldn't playing with two hands when you hit the snare drum :D... but yes it's a preference thing, and a skill thing... i'm getting tired just looking at Josh play this... it's crazy fast! and i think the drum recording is real! :D

[@PEP.]

the drums are sequenced, as they are the same samples being repeated consistently and at the same volume. Hardly any of TOP's drums have been live recorded since Trench and their introduction of addictive drums loops.

here is a suggestion for 2 people bands: SLEIGH BELLS - INFINITY GUITAR. the sound of their early albums was overdubbed and distorted on purpose so "the record sounds the same on the most expensive stereo system and the shittiest cheapest in-ear buds" Demi Lovatos production team stole some samples from this song too and had to settle after being dragged to court)

[@jbbya6040]

I say pause as much as you want. If people want to listen to the song straight through, they can go watch the original. Anyone telling you that you need to pause less is just trying to control how you consume music and run your own channel, which is bonkers.

If you want to avoid the block, just play a lyric version of the song. Also, I'm requesting reactions from you with more Twenty One Pilots this way you can really see the difference not just album to album but from song to song. Would you please react to "HeavyDirtySoul" and "Lane Boy" please? "HeavyDirtySoul" first... both are from the Blurryface album. Then if you would please do "Saturday" from Scaled and Icy, which stands for scaled back and isolated kind of like the 2020 pandemic. It's also an anagram for "Clancy is dead" but that has to do with the lore around the Trench CD, that's kind of falling into Scaled and Icy. One of the great things about Twenty One Pilots is the fact they put together these treasure hunts and maps with stories that the Clique (their fan base name) can figure out to find these little things that Tyler tosses out there and the Clique runs on all four cylinders figuring it out. It's actually kind of amazing, I've seen videos out there on KZbin talking about TOP and their lore. You asked at one point why Twenty One Pilots? It might have been in another video of yours I'm not sure, it's based off a play. Tyler came up with the band's name while studying "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller; a play about a man who commits suicide after causing the death of twenty one pilots during World War II because he knowingly sent them faulty parts for the good of his business.

[@bobbydrex5268]

The name twenty one pilots comes from a play the Tyler studied in school by arthur miller about a guy who causes the death of 21 pilots because he knowingly sends them faulty parts for his own financial gain and then commits suicide. That's why they are not called two pilots

Since you're a fan of switchin it up, I STRONGLY encourage you to dig into twenty one pilots - you will not be disappointed! They are phenomenal and are kings of the switch up, zigging and zagging everywhere. This new album is pop bop on purpose, but they do it all. They're eclectic and inspiring. Check out Trees Live at Fox Theater, Car Radio, Storyteller Performance (especially since you enjoyed the Mutemath versions). UG Sessions are good, too. Anything from their Trench album.
