Wishing my kick was so authoritative it needed two cinder blocks to keep it in check.

[@iliketoUSEmybrain017]

Stop wishing about it and lean in brother...........

[@Jazzbass92]

I remember seeing a picture of Elvin Jones hammering his kick in place. haha.

[@DrewMarold]

They must have added those after he blew the pillow across the room.

[@evanpetkau7329]

I think its also providing some tonal help for recording purposes. I remember SImon Phillips talking about using cinder blocks in or around his bass drum for a particular sound.

[@jfrusciantetube]

you got me with authoritative. LOL

[@michaelbabcock4172]

Something I've noticed....the more Joe Dart moves, the funkier it gets. The less Mark Lettieri moves, the funkier it gets. The whiter Cory Wong's right hand gets, the funkier it gets. The less eye contact Nate Smith makes with anyone, the funkier it gets. All four things are happening on this track. My face was still in "funk grimace mode," 5 minutes after the song ended.

[@Vinnygotnoodles]

Ahah dude thank you for coining the phrase "funk grimace mode". This puts words on the meaning of life.

[@sekanuel]

Holy fuck man yeah you catched this song

[@colinthorn514]

"Funk grimace mode", one for the Merriam-Webster, methinks!

[@jcthefluteman]

Pretty sure this phenomenon is already well-documented as ‘stankface’

[@user-dd7nd2ee4w]

literally perfectly summarizies the whole vibe of the fearless flyers as a whole 😂😂

[@wingnoit]

Minimum required watching - 7 times: 1. Listen to the tune. 2. Listen to just Corey's part. 3. Listen to just Mark's part. 4. Listen to just Joe's part. 5. Listen to just Nate's part. 6. Observe only Joe's head. 7. Listen to the tune again. Repeat as necessary.

[@frustrabe]

go up please!

[@jaderamos9061]

Hahahahah very TRUE

[@biggusdickus8511]

And repeat the process for every single Vulf or Fearless tune ! That's a matter of life i would say ^^

[@okuhleminyi8143]

Sunglasses indoors, high top boots, black overalls and sleeveless shirts. Yeah, I'm in the right place.

[@AageV]

Me: Where's Joe? *Head violently bobs in the background* Me: Whew, thank god.

[@monkeyoo3510]

dem neck muscles tho 😎🤣

[@jeromepod94]

I swear, one of this days Joe's head will pop out of his neck and fly away like a bird

[@Lukasdudeface]

At least it will fly fearlessly

[@chicanochops]

Violently 💀

[@ryyymyyy]

For a solid 3 seconds I thought by some editing magic, all three of them were Joe because it opens on him.

[@ahaynes4]

Woohoo!! Joe Dart on the Joe Dart ladies and gentlemen!

Okay can we talk about how SPICY 2:18 is though?

[@richardburt3366]

I felt a hint yes

[@matthewhickey1858]

Yea a little bird told me that was the last wing on the next episode of Hot Ones

[@hirokokueh3541]

that's some serious -Low-fi- Dilla groove

[@jtn191]

From Adam Neely, I think that's called a "drunk groove". It's like triplets of subdivided 16ths or something.

[@SeminarGate]

jtn191 yeah it’s a dilla groove, but it’s nice to hear a little neo soul detail in a vulf tune

[@ericmyrs]

Introducing THE FEARLESS F L Y E R S. The band that's all rhythm section.

[@johnodonnell2495]

The baritone and bass tracking each other is so cool! And those big long gaps really grab your attention :) Fearless flyers kicking it up another gear

[@computedwall26]

Lot of Cory's writing on the Flyers stuff! I forget which Cory song this is based off of but he definitely plays it on Live in Minneapolis. I dig it.

[@LoopConnection]

It's Overture. I personally prefer the Cory version, it's more powerful

[@jckmthr]

Definitely different without the horns

[@computedwall26]

I prefer his version too! Also dude, crazy coincidence, you were just mentioned in Rob Scallon's most recent video I was watching! Congrats on the award!!@@LoopConnection

[@LoopConnection]

@@computedwall26 thanks man, I din't even know he posted the video about the contest...

Kevin Gastonguay did all the job on synth without the horns. Mindblowing good as well

The comments under these vids are just mostly comedy gold. Vulf vids are a good place for more than 1 reason, clearly.

[@jamesdwyer7752]

Can’t wait to see Cory Wong @ Rochester Lilac Festival!!!

[@ConstantClimbMusic]

So I was watching Cory's live in Minneapolis video and he started off with this song too. I noticed that Simon is by him too.

[@soytonioful]

Hahahaha yes lort.

[@alexyamet2789]

Mark Lettieri is utterly in control of every aspect of his instrument.

[@gssong7111]

Interesting, I think he is out of place and looks braggadocious in this group. The others are having more fun. Theo would be a better choice. Actually, they should just put Nate in full time with Vulf, calm Jack's Jewish salesman attitude down a bit , close Wong's mouth and then they would be up there with the best funk bands ever. Joe is waiting... Especially if they want to be around for another 20...

[@elyaskiss1311]

this song is like baby's first funk song if I had too show someone a funk song that shows every thing a funk song is, I'd show them this

[@johnm.9525]

The type of jam which makes one wish they truly *understood* music. My goodness. 👏🏽

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Went to the G4 Experience 2 weeks ago and had a chance to learn from Cory. Such a good dude. Great teacher, encouraging, infectious and just a joy to be around.

The last twenty seconds of this with Lettieri's solo is just unfair. Going from that straight groove to a shuffle was near flawless - Smith is otherworldly!
