The Bass Player Does WHAT?! | Worship Drummer Reacts to *BRAND NEW* Dirty Loops "Run Away"

[@Aurora-cv5to]

I confess that I laughed when you said you'd see Next to You and knew what to expect. Henrik is a world class musician. So are Aron and Jonah. They are mind-breaking. It takes quite a few songs before you'll even begin to know how much each of them can do. These guys are absolutely my favorite band.

Great reaction! About the bass there, yes the E string has a 2 fret extension to D so the glue vise acts like a capo. The tuner for that string actually sits at the back of the body behind the bridge, and that is actually a Hipshot D-tuner, so the E- string can actually drop down to C 😃

Off the top of my head I'm gonna say this is the first new DL song in like a year and a half. To be introduced to Dirty Loops yesterday and then have a new song released basically the same day. Well my friend the music gods seem to be smiling down on you. The whole production and presentation of this one I think took everybody kind of by surprise. But that said this is so much of what DL are about. They take their music soooo seriously while never taking themselves too seriously. There will be a lot of us looking forward to riding along on this journey with you.

Dirty Loops is outstanding and they have so much fun on their videos! Looks like a full 80´s vibe and homage! From the acrilic drumset with 2 kicks (and Aron´s jogger headband), Jonahs specs, to the cigarette on Henriks headstock (Van Halen style) and his Hair-Metal look!

You kind of answered your own question there. Aron has humongous drum set even though he doesn't need it. Henrik has four arms. Jonah has four keyboards.

This song starts in Emaj and jumps to the relative C#min during the bass insanity. In the middle of the second bass shred section they sneakily modulate up a minor 3rd and come back into the vocals in Emin (sneaky boys) then jump up to the new major root key of Gmaj :) They do all kinds of wild harmonic progressions that keep you on your toes! Henrik is definitely one of the best bassists of his generation for sure. He really channels his inner Steve Vai for this one!

[@teckreactions]

Nerding out. I love it!

[@kennypayne9259]

This is all about 80s excess. They are showing great musicianship but having a blast doing it.

Regarding the split pose, I thought of it as a reference to 80s star Jean-Claude Van Damme that did the "Epic Split" video some years ago. That's Henrik being the legendary 80s star right there...

What's often missed is that Dirty Loops have a great sense of humour, pranking the audience just to make sure you're paying attention. 🤣🤣🤣

They’re hilarious 😂

[@fiddlestix3025]

They leave you without speech :) almost always Dirty Loops manage to scramble your brain, and lo, they did it again! That video, I feel is a prank from beginning to end, and I seriously can’t wait to hear the rest of what’s going to be on that album!! This is the most ‘pop’ song I think I’ve heard from Dirty Loops, and so many things come to mind, from glam rock to Polyphia to Knower and Luis Cole. But most of all making fun of everything. Henrik’s four (or three?) hands, his pink strings, his hilarious splits, his two solos, -Aron’s pompous drum setup and headband, -Jonah’s outfit, the whole set, -it’s all made to look bigger than life, it’s just ridiculous 😉 Henrik is playing his 6-string, custom made Swedish Mattisson bass with warped, true temperament frets (you can see him playing it on some of the other DLoops songs). Not a double bass exactly :) and definitely not a double-necked bass guitar. It might be a nod to Guitarist Steve Vai, who’s also played with Polyphia recently, as well as with Jonah Nilsson on his track ‘Diamond Ring’, and sometimes plays double or more-necked guitars. Henrik writing in the credits that ‘tone is all in the fingers’: to me endless debates come to mind where people argue that his great tone comes from the build or the wood used in building his basses, and so on. The guy is a master bassist, has been playing as a session musician before he even started playing with Dirty Loops, has played with the best, and is respected by the best. Victor Wooten indeed is one of the many influences in his playing (how good you’ve heard him play live!), as is Flea, Jacco, Marcus Miller and many others. Henrik is his own rabbit hole to go down into…. Check out some of his collaborations with other fusion and prog musicians -some truly incredible stuff. He’s also great at talking about his technique, his equipment setup and his pedalboards :) Besides that tho there also is a guitarist in this recording here, Carl Mörner Ringström, a fantastic Swedish musician. And yes, they’re having so much fun it’s not fair, and always taking the mickey 😉 I still think that you would enjoy their track ‘Work Shit Out’ where Aron gets to shine, as well as Jonah on his piano.

[@lottawiklund8606]

As many other have already said, it was quite funny to hear you say you knew what to expect. Rule no. 1 with these guys is that you never, ever know what to expect. Well, except for ridiculously high quality musicianship. Outside of that they always manage to surprise. 😄 Oh, and those two kick drums is probably also a joke, as Aron never plays double kick normally and doesn't need it, he's that fast with one foot. Lots of people comment on that though, so my guess is that it is a joke just like with the two set of arms on Henrik. Their motto is "more is more" and here they have double everything; double keyboards, double bass necks and arms, and double kick drums. They are so silly. 🤣

A pretty bizarre dude who's both been a preacher and life coach aswell a tax evader and prisoner. Gudrun Schyman is a 75 years old former politician that used to be the leader of the Swedish left party and then went on to form a new feminist party. I don't think she's beatboxing that much. I'm 99% sure that "It's not a phase mom tattoo and body modification studios" doesn't exist outside of these end credits. Great name though! You're right about Serla Toiletpaper.

"Is that four arms?" Yes, two of them....

[@nezkeys79]

Are they staying on the 1 chord or are they just already on the second chord (the relative minor)? At 11:35 its easy to tell because the bass here is a different note that sounds more like "happy" (major) if that makes sense, and in the example you are referring to where they hang out it sounds minor to me. 11:15 for reference again One is G major and the other is E minor

[@teckreactions]

It’s possible it could be a 1/3 situation as they modulate.

[@nezkeys79]

​@@teckreactionswhat do you mean by a 1/3 situation?

[@teckreactions]

@@nezkeys79 1 over 3. Where the root note (bass) is the 1, but the chord on top is the 3. In this case, G note on the bottom, E minor chord shape. Or a minor chord in first inversion. Easy way to transition from major to relative minor or vice versa.

[@nezkeys79]

​@teckreactions there is no Em/G. Henrik plays an E in the first timestamp, and then a G in the second one Also it confused me when you described the slash chord because "3 over 1" implies the 3 chord over a G, which would be Bm/G, and "1 over 3" implies G/B 🤷 even if you were thinking in E minor (so E minor as the 1) the "1 over 3" still doesn't work because he isn't playing G there.

[@teckreactions]

@@RobertWrightOneManCovers I doubt he’s recording with those.

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

@@teckreactions It's in interviews, do your research.

[@teckreactions]

@@RobertWrightOneManCovers I’m good

[@Lacainam]

Also! If you havent heard polyphia, check them out as well. G.o.a.t. is probably where everyone who hasnt heard them starts.

[@teckreactions]

I love Polyphia!

[@alexreid4131]

Obviously the bassist is amazing but dang that drummer!!!

[@edwierdbrown3325]

Really enjoying your reactions. you should definitely check out the band Polyphia. The song "G.O.A.T." is a great place to start with them. I promise you will be impressed.

I love Polyphia!

Gee fucking wizz indeed

[@michaelyoung6469]

As a person that played drums for worship ala Jesus Culture, IHOP stuff from 2006-2011 ish, this band and their musicianship is mind blowing. The drummer is amazing. They're dynamics are amazing. Love everything about it

[@teckreactions]

Nice!!!!

[@jonaslejon9975]

They are touring North America as of now. Maybe get yourself to a show? :)

[@teckreactions]

I took a look. Closest they come to me is a five hour drive. Need to listen to more before I consider that investment.

[@mikedown1250]

No easter egg ... i'm sending you to Uncle Rodger

[@teckreactions]

To who?

[@purefunked]

They are poking fun at a lot of the 80's video troupes

[@teckreactions]

I love it.

[@mikedown1250]

John Bonham loved acrylic drums?????

[@teckreactions]

That’s great. They still sound bad. He also used those before we had the different shells we have today. So there’s that.

[@sherwyngray3979]

Please make your screen smaller and highlight the video instead

[@teckreactions]

I’ll consider it. Seems to follow the normal flow of reactions though.

[@nezkeys79]

Honestly I wasn't that impressed with the tapping and sound effects stuff. It's nothing special in terms of what electric guitarists do, but just is interesting because you don't usually see a bass player soloing like this. Don't get me wrong it still sounds good but some people are acting like its ridiuculously difficult to play. Pretty sure any lead guitarist could work this out and play it

[@ericdustin4663]

This is the band Bill and Ted was ment to be.

[@nobodyjustbrad2750]

First

Cookie is in the mail.

[@Jason-cm6uh]

You need four arms to play a double neck. Duh!

[@kyoung360]

VISTALITE DRUMS DO NOT SOUND LIKE CRAP!... Do your homework and listen to ...well I don't knoe how about John Bonham! from Led Zeppelin and or Billty Cobham...Please!

[@teckreactions]

Relax. It’s personal preference. I don’t like the tone of them.

[@mikedown1250]

I am sorry. This is not live at all. it's a studio recording/video. You don't know that much about how people play music! No! they don't have four arms. the kit is huge because this is a homage to the 80/90's metal bands like Toto and Van Halen. In the four hand scenes he uses a 4 and 6 string bass as a gadget (BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIVE) Then in the solo scenes he reverts to a proper 8 string bass.

[@teckreactions]

So…. Considering all I had to go off was the cover photo before hitting play, it looked live. Obviously, when I started the video, I quickly realized it was not live. I sure hope you didn’t consider my four arms statement seriously 😳 Further into the video, I understood the purpose of the big drums and crazy outfits. This was literally my first time watching it. I’ve been playing live music for 20 years. I’m aware how it works. But thanks for stopping by! 😊

[@robertkaye5434]

I think you mean 6-string bass.

[@gbulmer]

@@robertkaye5434 I suspect mikedown1250 is more focused on trying to 'score points' than facts. Toto was not "metal". Combination of pop, rock/hard rock, R&B, soul, funk, and jazz, but not "metal". So don't take the comment too seriously. Remember: *_Do Not Feed The Trolls._* Best Wishes to You. ☮
