Why Do People Like Don Broco?

[@MakingSomeTea]

Been a fan of Don Broco for about 6 years now. By far my favourite band. Love the direction they’re going in but Priorities is easily my favourite album. Seen them 3 times now and they’re just as good live. I think I remember hearing them saying they sent Bruce Willis a early version of the track to see what he thought and he didn’t understand what it was 🤣

[@allanm2064]

@MakingSometea he didn't understand because he's suffering from acute dementia ya lazy twat- cheers from London and my bullocks from a ponker puller

[@JimboCruntz]

Can confirm. This is amazing live. If you don't take music too seriously don broco are one of the best live bands in the country.

[@hotfroganimations]

I saw them at reading some years ago and I have to disagree... Felt like watching some posh boy with a sore throat.

[@CharlieSkapentry]

Absolutely agree, I don't really listen to them much but will happily go to a show again as they are brilliant live

[@mmaswitchstance]

​@@hotfroganimations you can see the chip on your shoulder from space, mate

[@hotfroganimations]

@@mmaswitchstance couldn't give a shit, just being honest.

[@allanm2064]

They're pretty good, young laddie. Cheers from London ya dusty twat ❤️

[@WallaceTalksMusic]

One of my all time favourite groups, seen them 3 times now and everytime incredible, as always thanks for your honest and input Justin. Fresh to see some authenticity on this platform.

[@theirishpotato6588]

I really liked their latest album, the music gets me hyped and feel.

[@clownphonecase]

they are hands down the best live band i’ve ever seen. i’ve seen them five times now, and the last two shows at the barras were just outstanding

[@alexfletcher8618]

It's Broco like broke-o. Apparently one of them had a broken arm, someone used the term Don Loco in conversation and the one with the broken arm said "more like Don broke-o!" And I believe the joke was received well. On another note - I'm not fun at parties.

[@rosie2193]

don broco are my favourite band of all time, i've been a fan for 7 years, they're the most insane band i've ever saw. seen them 5 times, 6 times in march 2023 and they're the best. the amount of energy that they have on stage is unbelievable, especially si. i could watch si play and kick and jump allllll day. my faves 4eva

The taxi is the one his character Corben Dallas drives (flies) in The 5th Element. 👌

[@mainey1512]

I got into these guys when technology came out. This songs great but it doesn't really showcase Don Broco at their technical best. One true prince would've been an awesome one to react to. Just go through their catalogue anyway. I'm sure you'll love it!

[@TheBigdutchster]

After watching a bunch of Don Broco videos, I think that I'm falling in love with them.

[@REDxBARCHETTA]

I would love to see some thoughts on Coheed and Cambria. They emerged around the same time as The Darkness and are still writing today.

[@nickrispoli2532]

I second this, when the new album comes out I hope we hear some input from Justin

[@TheThriftElement]

A lot of their songs are designed to be live, so absolutely right when you mentioned it would be good live. Definitely agree with some of the comments, although Bruce Willis is a really fun, simple song. There are definitely songs that better showcase the bands abilities. One true prince is probably their stand out from this album - their performance at the royal Albert hall recently was something special and I’d recommend listening to Easter Sunday lave at royal Albert hall which they have just released on their KZbin channel.

[@keirwass851]

I'm so glad you've covered these! I've only recently been introduced to these and I absolutely love their passion along with the variety of styles they go through within each album! 💪

[@allanm2064]

@Keirwass851 ok easy easy lad. Don't be pulling my plonker now ya lazy twat-cheers from London ya gofer

[@beveryofa2546]

Omg, he's standing on the taxi driven by Bruce Willis in the 5th Element, which took place 200 years roughly in the future where all the cars can fly around like harriers but they still have traffic jams because New York never changes lol.

[@Regurg1tator]

Eastbound and Down? Legendary show

[@maxmorris6853]

So weird seeing your musings after the big darkness track was played in my house religiously as a kid. And to top it off your genuinely funny - keep smashing it

[@OrangeSunshine1969]

I always wear my camo kecks when torching neighbourhood cars. I know where this dude’s coming from. Its the practicality and versatility.

[@MrDexter_]

As soon as i saw Bruce Willis in the thumbnail i knew what band it was :D I love Don Broco and they really deserve the hype.

[@joerandl9252]

literally requested u to check out Broco a bit ago. so glad you have don

[@andycrowley]

🙌

[@guiarusso]

OmG now I won't be able to take this chorus off my head for days!!! Ah ah ah ah...thank you Justin 😅

[@DiceJoint]

I've seen them live 4 times and plan on going to every show I can, they're amazing

Linoleum flooring is made from natural materials, including linseed oil, limestone, cork and wood flour and pine rosin. These materials are mixed together and then laid on a jute backing to create a sheet of linoleum flooring. Vinyl flooring is made from synthetic materials, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin.

[@stellajayne]

What the hell has this got to do with the price of fish?

[@Lulu-th5bo]

Bruce Willis is great live, massive and fun mosh formed and by far the funniest part was the huge Bruce Willis face behind them the entire song.

[@tinyhato]

Not gonna lie this felt like a "Be Nice" video.

[@kalebthornsberry870]

Saw these guys with DGD and Periphery in 2019. Amazing show. Then went home and checked out their "Technology" LP, super good record

[@fattony2216]

That tour was my introduction to them as well. I had never heard of them and was hooked after the first song. They were one of the best live bands I had seen in a while. I remember a friend and I were saying how we felt bad for DGD having to go on after them! But I left that show, looked them up, and jammed the Technology album heavy for the next few months. Been a fan ever since.

[@SarahCharles92]

I remember supporting Don Broco a few times back while they were recording Big Fat Smile. I remember hearing them play Thug Workout and Chemistry from backstage and everyone looked at each other and just thought "Yep, these guys are going to make it." It was amazing to hear something like Thug Workout in 2008/2009. It felt so ahead of its time, and sort of proved to be. Bands like Marmozets, Press To MECO, and Arcane Roots all followed suit while Broco moved on with Priorities and have never really stayed the same from release to release.

[@TheGroundBeef]

ive seen Don Broco open for shows 3 times now. i would kill to see them headline!!!

[@MatthewLanter]

I really appreciate you looking into these guys-really have learned to love them in a short amount of time!

[@mylene_vlr]

Well done again, Mr. Hawkins. 👍 Already hooked. 😅

[@alexdrakebrockman3055]

In my recording studio I have a section of floor where I’ve inset records into eproxy resin. That’s how I do vinyl flooring 😂

Justin and Danny McBride is a combination we need to see happen.

I liked a few of their songs, then seen them live in a festival and they stole my heart. Such an amazing band.

[@flowjoe100]

Don Broco (Bro-co?) are awesome, and so is your channel Justin. Its arrival has coincided spectacularly well with me getting a decent stereo after so many years without and fully rediscovering music, not to mention the Darkness. Good stuff, keep it coming! 👍🏻

[@amirkhalid5449]

For a moment there, I thought you were going to delve into Bruce Willis' own musical career -- which was very brief, thank God.

[@davidb5173]

Hey man! I’ve been loving the critiques of modern music, but would you ever do critiques of older music? Would love to see you go through some old Beatles albums song by song and deconstruct them for example, or maybe the Stones or Led Zep? I know it’s a well-trodden path but I’d genuinely like to see you break them down both structurally and lyrically from a musician’s point of view

[@Casey3-P-O]

Well, he did do a video on Dire Straights and he also did one on Aerosmith as well. If you haven't seen those, you might want to check them out.

[@PurpleHaze-369]

Yea, The Beatles and Zeppelin in particular. Maybe some Deep Purple too

Linoleum is made from linseed oil plus fillers. Its name is a combination of Latin "linum" (linen/flax) and "oleum" (oil).

[@tylerjennings8242]

It supports my head and gives me something to believe

[@vietnameeseguy]

I remembering hearing Automatic on Madden 16 or 17 but I loved it so much I looked up their Automatic album and it still one of my favorites. The mix of synth, rock and pop is so good. I saw them at Vans warped tour and got a pic and met them. And then later that day the lead singer came up to us to ask us where the food and drinks were and we were all star struck we couldn’t believe he went up to us and just started talking to us😂

Justin are you not concerned about burning oil today? Or is it warm in Switzerland? Please advise.

[@michaelantonyaustin]

In answer to your comment Justin, if vinyl flooring is so popular, to save materials perhaps an alternative would be to use Ed Sheehan albums instead? Just a thought…

Great shirt. Freddie King was a legend. Help Me Through The Day, with Leon Russell backing him on piano is a masterpiece. They're two titans that don't get enough attention in my estimation.

[@M2Mil7er]

not disputing that, but it's merch from the US comedy of the same name, starring Danny McBride, who Justin mentions in this very video.

@@M2Mil7er we know that Mr. Miller. The intro song was performed by Freddie King.

Can confirm…spoke to the singer about this exact thing. I ask him how they got it cleared…he said they just put it out and hoped for the best(expecting to hear from Bruce Willis’s team) and they never heard from anyone on it. Can confirm….certified banger. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Linoleum is not vinyl. Linoleum is a natural product made of linseed oil, resins, wood flour and other stuff and vinyl is a petrochemical product. The singer is not standing on a "taxi-submarine", this is the flying taxi Bruce Willis had as Korben Dallas in the movie Fifth Element. 😄 3:43
