WHO IS THIS?! Hunters & Collectors - Say Goodbye & Holy Grail - First Reaction!

[@Notric]

Aussie Rock at it's best! Australian Muso's are quick to sign up to disaster relief concerts. Some of the best performances have been in the name of charity.

[@troywatson5429]

100%

[@hopeflorence6748]

Holy Grail is one of my most favourite songs. Mark Seymour is a legend of music here.

[@polrua]

Mark Seymour's voice is amazing. He really wrenches every drop of emotion out of his performance.

[@ayatollahofarocknrolla403]

Hunters and collectors should have been huge around the world. They have so much great music

[@flamestergirl]

One of Hunters and Collectors big fans is Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam to the point they have covered H&G's songs and he has shared the stage with them in Australia and sung along with Mark.

I was one of those 80,000 at the MCG. Flew over from Perth. Saw Hunters also at Metropolis Fremantle in the early 90's and wow, did those horns pack a punch in a smaller venue. Memorable stuff.

[@davejensen7922]

Two of my favourite H&C tunes. good choice

[@pointyanointy1770]

The first time we saw the Hunters was waaay back in the day. The were supporting Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Among some unusual instruments they played were gas bottles as part of the percussion. Brilliant!

[@lisamareepritchard6375]

I remember seeing Hunters & Collectors at a local Bar in Melbourne back in the 80’s, this takes me back, they were amazing ❤

[@garyspeed8961]

SAY GOODBYE is a killer track.. one of the best outa Oz

[@RodNesser]

Australia has produced such amazing bands over the years and we’re all so proud of them… Hunters and Collectors, Grinspoon, Powderfinger, The Vines, The Superjesus, Icehouse, John Farnham, I could go on and on… worth a reaction all of them… heads up, you might have to spend a couple of years… 😎

[@paintingmonkey]

Great list - gotta add Midnight Oil, for sure

[@785boats]

They've been a great Aussie band from the start. Can I suggest that you react to their very first video called "Talking To A Stranger". It's 1982. at the beginning of when Music videos were becoming popular. Usually of the performers playing their song. But this one is an important work of art. You will also note that that bass tone & the horns have been a part of their DNA right from the start. You will be impressed, if you have a listen to the whole debut album.

[@simonrigby2776]

absolutely .. that bass is unmistakable and in a good room with a good PA it would rattle your fillings out :)

[@simonrigby2776]

There were so many great Australian bands and as a live act you had to go a fair way to find anyone better than Hunters. Saw them a few times in my youth including a particularly fine night at The Old Lion in Adelaide. Still sticks in my mind as one of the best live gigs I've been to. Fun fact Mark Seymour is the older brother of Nick (bassist with Crowded House).

[@taniaPBear]

I hate that you may not get massive views on this. The Hunters are legendary in Aus, but sadly not that well known anywhere else. I loved this performance, it was passionate and different, both songs were done very differently to the original versions, but just as awesome. Holy Grail, might be their biggest hit, or Throw Your Arms Around Me, I'm not sure, but they actually have way better songs than either of those. They have a very unique sound. Thanks for this, loved it. ❤

[@toniboydston2744]

Thankyou for reacting to our great Aussie Music ❤I just subscribed you are a lovely reviewer. 😊

[@Jordy120]

I lost count how many times i went and saw these guys. One of my favourite bands. The official release of Talking to a Stranger I think you'll like.

[@deangreen3370]

Hunters & Collectors the music of melbourne australia

[@Kim-xm8uh]

I've never heard of them....added to playlist now! Thank you!

[@Watsupyoutube]

Listen to talking to a stranger.

[@kerrydwyer1879]

Another pub band .too.Happy you enjoy

[@judehardman146]

Glad to see you opening up to our bands.

[@aussiemal8701]

Saw them in '85 at the Sunderlands Hotel in Sydney & was blown away

[@ownyourcrazy8734]

Leader singer, guitarist, and chef songwriter, Mark Seymour, is the brother of Crowded House bass player Nick Seymour.

[@Lily-fromOz]

Mark Seymour is a legend ❤

[@lynndally9160]

Holy Grail is my favourite H & C song

[@AskHueyRacing]

Hunters snuck up on me. I wasn’t a fan for 20 years or so. Then suddenly one day, I was 😊

[@ShaneSteel-om2cr]

That's at the MCG Melbourne Australia

[@lone982]

Great song

[@DavidPola1961]

Mark Seymour has just released a new album called the Boxer in the past few days

[@blueyfromoz4815]

This song Holy Grail is about Napoleon's defeated french Army retreat from Moscow.

[@chillybogart8165]

Lead singers brother is the bass guitarist with Crowded House.

[@marcuswatson23]

i think that was at MCG or, "The G". Funnly enough, Holy Grail was used by the AFL, with, or without permission.

[@arconeagain]

Say Goodbye sounds better with the higher female backup vocals. Splitting hairs, but that's about the only thing missing.

[@arconeagain]

When you think Mark's intense looking, then you see his brother 😂

[@hopeflorence6748]

You should do a reaction to “Throw Your Arms Around Me” by Mark Seymour. He’s the lead singer and he writes all the H&C music

[@aussiebrewer]

Yeah, it’s a capo - pretty sure it’s short for capodastro.

[@spoonzor1]

I watched your reaction to Sabaton - En livstid i krig. Are you a combat veteran?

[@Cheezyxyz]

I am not. My family has a number of veterans, though. I support them for whole heartedly ❤️

[@crankiemanx8423]

He sounded much better when they were younger,im.not sure if he's a smoker or what ..still great music tho .

[@tonytenkate4635]

Should listen to the original

[@christophermurphy5454]

The Holy Grail . Queensland's first ever cricket Sheffield Shield trophy .🏏

[@chefgarcia1474]

Bro nice reaction, hey you like drummers? Check this guy out El Estepario Siberiano on youtube✌❤🇵🇷

[@blairdenholm4167]

Well past their prime by this stage. Mark struggles to hold the notes. Great songs, though.
