Our FIRST DI RECT Reaction All In Vain De Duif Sessions

[@fvantpadje]

You have to check di-rect and Kensington at De Vrienden van Amstel live, they do covers from there heroes. With them you have the best band's of the Netherlands If you like this build up by a song then I recommend you to do Rollercoaster by Danny Vera, I think you will love it

[@petrabierlee2151]

Absolutely!

[@walkerabenelux7803]

Yes!!!, that would be great. Or just Kensington (live) would be great as well

[@lindahoffman8296]

Yes, you definitely need to see this!

[@crazykaletrucker]

"Soldier on" is also STUNNING !

[@walkerabenelux7803]

Yes, please watch that one as well. The videoclip

73 years old hippie from the Netherlands reporting in: Another treat from the Netherlands ... Keep on discovering the music scene from the Netherlands ... Try to get over there in summer when Floor or Nightwish are performing there ... I read many other suggestions, all very good ... Luv from the Netherlands 🤘👍

[@MiriamVanDenAker]

I love how you forgot to eat your candy😅 He is phenomenal❤❤❤

[@renevw5812]

Di rect has some beautiful songs.

[@jolandavanlankvelt2674]

I do love Marcel 's voice so much just like you 2. I'm going to vist their concert february 12th in Den Bosch.

[@NicoleYih]

Watch the acoustic version of this song in a talkshow called Humberto. This singer is simply amazing and knocks you off your feet

[@TheDutchWWEfan]

Denk niet dat ze dat gaan zien zonder linkje....kzbin.info/www/bejne/rom7eYChrZqLm5I

[@igorgrumnagel8805]

Thanks for reacting on this great band.....love it ! 🇳🇱👋

[@musicfromtheheart100]

Hey guys, yes, the lead singer is a weirdo, but I think that's inherent to being an artist (of any kind), because expressing oneself through art, be that musically or otherwise, means that one is able to perceive, think, communicate, and create outside the box and this will often manifest itself in eccentric behavior. The song in this video is part of a 10-track recording session which was done in a church building called De Duif in Amsterdam (built in 1858) in 2019. As for the band themselves, Di-rect are a rock band from The Hague, the Netherlands, and they started out in 1999. The current line-up consists of Jamie Westland (drums), Frans "Spike" van Zoest (guitar), Bas van Wageningen (bass), Paul Jan Bakker (guitar), and Marcel Veenendaal (lead vocals). Loved your reaction to this. Keep it up, or should I say 'rect'? 😜

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Thx for the info - we definitely want to react to more! “Rect” - 😂😂💜

[@erickvermeulen9734]

In 2009 the former lead vocalist left the band, and a tv-show led to finding a new lead singer, Marcel Veenendaal. The Hague (Den Haag) has spawned many bands, including Q65, Golden Earring, Anouk and many others.

[@OmeNeil]

Hi, it was me who suggested it in the Ogene video Africa ;-) Never thought you pick it up hahaha. Cool reaction.

[@WYMAHEN]

In this video Marcel is comforted by ''Spike'' He was so absorbed in his singing kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6TbgoKtiat_jc0

[@tomten8663]

Yeh ,this band is from my city the Hague ( Netherlands). I know these guys from when they were very young. They are AWESOME. Please do yourself a favor and react to their soldier on video performance. It,s OUT OF THIS WORLD STUNNING. Di-rect is a GREAT BAND and i,m very proud of them .

[@petrabierlee2151]

His voice is like butter and he feels the music.

[@nickwilbers5266]

You know, Tim Akkerman, the curly guy from Beste Zangers with Floor was the original singer of this band back in the 2000's...

[@chrissturkenboom6080]

Yes, you are right. They were/are live very, very good. Saw them both. I remember they had a contest to find the new singer. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗

[@robertdevries2045]

@@chrissturkenboom6080 i saw them with tim, they weren't that big, in a small theatre for 15 gulden i was like well: why not. awesome performance

[@amygoodson-catlady]

So beautiful but melancholy. I liked this...curious for more

[@sweenwveen]

[@Jos_G.]

Wow. Just wow.

[@ChrAlm-c8t]

Di rect is the best from the netherlands. Look at the New songs. All amasing

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

We have done quite a few reactions and have a playlist for direct. I’ll have to see what else is out there that we haven’t reacted to! They are one of my favorites now! Blessings, Suesue

[@schout33]

Of course they are from The Netherlands. If it isn't Dutch, it ain't much. Here is a link to a fantastic collaberation with another Dutch band 'Kensington' from 2020 doing some songs you might know: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fZY4eGj8aaa9k

[@wgsips]

I was at this concert, it was awesome!!

[@joop558]

Yes you have to do this.

[@anneliendekramer9243]

That concert is really awesome. The covers, the stage, the public, sound and tech is top quality. Two great rockbands..di-rect and kensington..

[@marloesvanvliet5260]

You indeed really "must" see this. You'll have an outstanding time together. Both Dutch bands, playing (covers) together -even two drummers-, for a big, happy audience.

[@Kronmizter]

Good morning glad to se wolfman in shape again!!!

[@Nickery1]

Just beautifull ! ...greets from the Netherlands

[@EricvanDorp007]

Masterpiece! from NL

[@johngaikema5188]

Singer is Marcel Veenendaal Di rect is from the Netherlands

[@wrmvanluijk]

thank you pffffffoe🤩

[@TTMelle]

and "Naked" is also a beautiful number👏👏

[@maudwestdijk]

Marcel has one of the best voice's of the Netherlands,no.1 is still Waylon.(for me)

[@R---66---R]

What is goin on in The Netherlands????????? Small country................but H U G E at the same time.........😃

[@erickvermeulen9734]

For seeing a Gretsch guitar, check out Brian Setzer, great rockabilly music. I have a Gretsch and I love that guitar.

[@naatjebell9504]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoOQq32cqJ6Jqac This is there latest song. Also a great song with his beautiful voice. It's called how my heart was won. Enjoy watching this one

[@charlyvanbuuren2947]

Yessss! Marcel is a bit weird and if i remember offen stoned but an exceptional singer! Oh but i forgot you two are also weird and nice!

[@elainerichardson3074]

The lead singer's name is Marcel Veenendaal, Who replaced Tim Akkerman when he decided to leave the band.

[@gerrygrouwe70]

And more O3GENE sing next please

[@harriependers9171]

Another one from Direct kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHjPlJmGpLKohtE

[@jddeweert]

If you like this try we are or throw me a line by dutch band called Haevn

[@frankconfurius8507]

Since you love this so much, try an original of them, Soldier on. The original music video will knock you off your feet

[@johnjacobs5190]

I have seen this live, people crying in the audience. Marcel was extremely high that show. At 1 point could nit sing. And the band kept playing. The show ended with this song that day. Only Spike on guitar and Marcel singing. It was magnificenr. Even with a shorter show 😂😂

[@Keffertje666]

Best Dutch Rock band in my opinion is Kensington, love their live version off “uncharted”

[@bartobruintjes7056]

No. The best ever is The Golden Earring.

[@Keffertje666]

@@bartobruintjes7056 ieder zijn mening 😏 vind meer bands goed,heb gewoon iets met Uncharted

[@frenbee6355]

They are from the Netherlands. And he is a weirdo when he sings because he just moves on the music, he is so passionate aboute. But he is such a very sweet person

[@StevanOutdoor]

You probably don't realize it but you're reacting to a lot of Dutch musicians. Danny Vera, Anouk, Floor Jansen, Di-rect, etc. All Dutch

[@SueSueandthewolfman]

Yes we just love them!!

[@marloesvanvliet5260]

Dutch..., again. ;-)

[@ceciellepeters4696]

Duncan Laurence or Waylon are 2 amazing singers from the netherlands

[@theogeense6536]

Check WAYLON olso dutch!!

[@bartobruintjes7056]

Verschrikkelijke vent is dat.

[@edwinhokkelman3536]

Yep just wow😊
