BREAD - GUITAR MAN | REACTION

[@mariaportengen2959]

Bread has so many beautiful songs. A great voice of the lead singer. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️🎸🎸

[@davidburnett93]

I love David Gates voice

[@samuraidarryl]

Timeless Classic. Bread were something else.

[@johnthegreek5836]

Bread had so many great songs and David Gates has awesome voice and excellent songwriter

[@alantus14]

The drummer on this record was also playing magnificently. Give it another listen.

[@mjsmcd]

Diary is a good one by them with a surprise ending

[@WhereIsPancakesHouse]

One of the saddest songs I’ve ever heard.

[@waltw4537]

So the wah wah guitar is played by Larry Knechtel (August 4, 1940 - August 20, 2009) who was an American keyboard player and bassist who was a member of the Wrecking Crew, a collection of Los Angeles-based session musicians who worked with such renowned artists as Simon & Garfunkel, Duane Eddy, the Beach Boys, the Mamas & the Papas, the Monkees, the Partridge Family, Billy Joel, the Doors, the Grass Roots, Jerry Garcia, and Elvis Presley, and as a member of the 1970s band Bread, according to Wikipedia.

[@tomjones2121]

David Gates had a sensational voice , and Bread was nothing less then a hit machine

[@nkcbrazil]

Another great song back in the early seventies about a musician on the road is Dave Loggins “Please Come to Boston.”

[@willblood7082]

The album “Best of Bread” is the ultimate make out album. I had the 8-track of the album and spent many nights parked at the beach with my high school girlfriend back in the mid 70s listening to this album over and over again, naturally from the backseat. Great memories 😀

[@kaybee4143]

Or "Cry in your beer" music

[@somethingserious4090]

The best thing about an 8 track is you had to love the whole album b/c there was no rewind.. And Bread was one of those tracks that you could repeatedly listen to the entire album.

[@nathans3241]

Back in the 60's and 70's it was common to hear a string section (violins, etc) in the background of many songs. I always liked that because it made the songs more special. Guitar Man is a great song.

[@firedoc5]

Bread is one of the greatest soft rock of all time. Funny to mention being on a boat as "yacht rock" is a genre in itself. Check out "Summer Breeze" by Seals & Croft.

[@Krautline]

I stumbled upon this song by chance last summer. Can't believe I hadn't heard it before! Since I found it this song has been one of top ten most heard song for me. And Bread has so many other amazing songs to enjoy aswell! Great reaction by you!

[@rogercisneros770]

We love you drummer man.We all know the drums are the heartbeat of the music,like the human heart we take it for granted until it stops beating.😄

[@stephenhuber1219]

The great guitar man Larry Knechtel was branded a piano man from his work on songs like Bridge Over Troubled Water. Along with being in Bread, Larry was a member of The Wrecking Crew with Leon Russell and the most recorded drummer of all time Hal Blaine

[@MrThumbs63]

I never knew that. Thanks.

[@lynby6231]

He was a top top top musician

[@gregj1295]

I could listen to that song every day. Thanks

[@timgrady4630]

"Beautiful" , and "Bread" in the same sentence . See the Webster's Dictionary...

[@davidcollver6155]

The song is 51 years old and your lady is still tripping on this song. That's music Magic, that's art. I don't know of any drummer songs. But here's a suggestion, create one.

[@jameswormington9978]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever !

[@mamaflush9945]

Hey Chod I know you've listened to "The Guess Who" and I've heard you say how much you enjoy their music, so this is one of Burton Cummings live performances "Burton Cummings - I'm Scared - CBC TV Special 1977" I love Burton Cummings voice it so comforting and yet powerfully soulful. I really enjoyed both your and Dee's reaction thanks🔥💖🎶🎹🤗

[@allendixon7700]

The guitar man? That's some good stuff right there now

[@allendixon7700]

I just did A1TOKE so onjoyed the guitar man after the one toke that I played the song too it's a Brewer and shapely they do want to hook 1 toke over to the alarm is what they

[@allendixon7700]

But yeah that guitar man Peter green Hey I tell you yeah I don't know strange

[@allendixon7700]

I mean what happened to my man question back I got a little loud there after all my bed

[@francesthompson593]

I saw them years ago at the Sheffield City Hall UK.Dean Parks was the Guitarist and it was the last concert they all played together anywhere.

[@jeffcurtis5470]

Cheer up Chod, you still have "The little drummer boy" during the holiday season.

[@shelbys6572]

Bread always made me cry... maybe I was a sad kid at 14 years old. The first song I ever learned to play on the guitar was If by Bread.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

“IF” has that same effect on me. What a great song to be the first one you learned on guitar.❤️✌️🌼

[@shelbys6572]

@@marniethedyslexic6445 Yeah, Bread always seemed to be so sad. Well heck, it was sad. Sad and beautiful at the same time. There's more to the story though for me though, because my guitar teacher was a old hippie and he would ride his bicycle to my house after school to teach me guitar his name was Kenny Virden and he was my father's good friend anyway, on one day, he never showed up and we learned he was hit by a car, not far from my house and died, but we had just started learning to play if by bread and so I made sure I learned the song for him. He was a real cool cat like back in the 60s the cool cat stuff.

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

@@shelbys6572 Thanks for sharing your story with me. I’m sure Kenny would be very proud that you learned the song and grew up to be a cool cat yourself.❤️✌️🌼

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

@@shelbys6572 by the way I’m not a sappy song kind of person but Bread is definitely the exception.✌️🌼

[@miltonslocum8957]

Love them Bread "crumbs" Chod and Dee! Their songs take you to another place. Such a great vibe! Loved your violin solo Dee!🤗

[@davidbentley145]

This is some of the sweetest heart filled music this side of Heaven...

[@dmCurator]

The guitar playing is next level.

[@kellydelay18]

The perfect song

[@jasonking6892]

Nice 😊

[@kellyhilton2330]

Great song 😊 try goodbye girl you will love it ♥️

[@danastearns7939]

The lyrics, the guitar and bass guitar and David Gate's voice - all good making for a great song.

[@dagmar.6954]

I grew up listening to the soft rock music of Bread in the 70's & had their albums. Love David Gates voice. He has one of the most soothing & mellow voices. They had so many hits such as "If", "Make It With You", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "Everything I Own", "Diary", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "Sweet Surrender" & "Aubrey". In 1978, Gates enjoyed success as a solo artist with the hit singles "Goodbye Girl" (from the movie The Goodbye Girl) & "Took The Last Train".

[@concernedcitizen-1958]

Hey Chod and Dee! Looks like Dee found a new calling: air violin, lol ✌️ ☮️ ❤️🇱🇷

[@desiv1170]

I still go back and forth on whether this song is really happy or really sad... or both...

[@junglejim5785]

I agree with you Chod. I like the drums. My uncle was a drummer. And the drummer is just as important. Take care and God Bless.

[@Royal_BLT]

🇨🇦 There is one song dedicated to percussion, "The Little Drummer Boy" ! LOL

[@Hippychic723]

Always fantastic evert time I listen ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mojomegaman]

You two have an awesome vibe. Keep it up!

[@mojomegaman]

P.S. I've never seen a reaction to Bob Dylan's "Idiot Wind". A bit off topic but something that needs to happen.

[@charlesyoung7087]

Great choice. Great song.

[@stephenhuber1219]

David Gates had a high school band Bridges Gates with the great Leon Russell

[@cajunsushi]

There was a time in my youth that I played mostly Breads Greatest Hits.

[@mikemiller3069]

What do you call a drummer without a girlfriend? A: Homeless😂

[@yellowbeardjamesgibson9297]

As one who lived with this Music I would offer you these songs Next for any future Endeavors !!! 1) Everything I own 2) If 3) Diary And many more this should Get you Started 😁🌞 Like button Illuminated Still I would offer you The Female Artist of 1967 Bobbie Gentry ( Ode to billy Joe ) this song has been debated forever

[@cspaikido]

Of all the Beatles Ringo received the most fan mail, as did the Beach Boys drummer.

[@lisahaverluk4037]

Soooo awesome 😄🤗😎😎💖💖💖💖

[@Hawken54]

Interesting tidbit on how Bread chose their name. While thinking of a name for the band. A bread truck drives by and the rest is history. 🍞

[@dougbayliss5852]

I ❤ your diversity in the music you play

[@3rdOption-l9t]

🎶Who's that guy that hangs around with the three musicians? The drummer. 🥁

[@tinagriggs1004]

Oh don't worry. Those of us who love and respect music and talent are also always trying to see around the guitar line to see who's playing those drums like THAT!

[@stupoo]

Dee rocks a vest 🔥

[@fisher-cat]

Cake does a great cover of this song

[@sergiomattos109]

The guitars and the voice and the bass and the drums hit the ground!!! the vilolins they are complemnets only.

[@TrevorSampson1955]

Thank you for the reaction, ( suggestion: may I suggest when you play it back you find a way to eliminate the sounds of the headphone cords dragging on the bench, with headphones on it's an annoyance,) however that said thank you for the Bread...........love and light from down under in Australia

[@robertnathan2843]

Great song and reaction as always! In response to your comments, may I recommend; Jimi's Experience: "If 6 was 9" (he commends the drummer) 'Axis' album and if you feel like 'sailing' from Jimi's "Cry of Love" album, "Drifting". Enjoy

[@jameswormington9978]

For us drummers we have " We Got The Beat " by the Go Go's ! :)

[@davidburnett93]

G'day from down under. I just got in from night shift and watching you react to this was the perfect way to unwind. It's been a minute since you've reacted to John Farnham, I'd love it if you would listen to his song angels live 2000. I think you'll love it too

[@cspaikido]

You can't go wrong with David Gates and Bread.

[@Loko-wl7fo]

"Aubrey" is a Bread MUST!!!

[@gregpusczek4473]

brilliant

[@michaeltveten8458]

It’s ok, Chod….The guitar gets the girl, but the rhythm section keeps her around…😎

[@mikeriddle383]

Just a thought, have you gone through all of your reactions to see which decade that you liked the most songs from ?

[@mikegoodlock7821]

❤🎸❤️

[@kevanbodsworth9868]

Tough one for drummers and the rest ,As a guitarist of many years I get all my drive from those guys, Not fair really..

[@deannaledford1270]

def leppard drummer had one arm and was amazing.

[@STYXFRKS]

You should check out Goodbye Girl from him.

[@jonthomson8392]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@lauraulnye6857]

Mother Freedom is my favorite by Bread.

[@Me-myself-b3g]

Chod, I agree, I am friends with the former President of the Kansas City Blues Society and He has been playing Bass Guitar for 50+ years and has played some of the best Blues Artist`s ever and he has always said the Bassist`s and Drummer`s rarely get the recognition they deserve even though they are the foundation and the timing of any song and most dont even pay any attention to what they bring to any song. Its terrible!

[@gaijin5]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kens32052]

Christopher Cross's "SAILING" is a good sailboat song.

[@gaijin5]

[@jaemyrick5277]

This is US brought me here. This song was featured in an episode. Bittersweet. The series ended in 2022. I miss it everyday. If the two of you watch “This is US” You gonna need a lot of Kleenex. I cried every episode. My Mom not as much. 😢😢😢😢😢😢You been warned.

There kind of rare because not alot of bands like this

You need to listen to the song Aubry by bread.

[@craiggaisford1402]

If you want drums react to D'yer Mak'er by Led Zeppelin. You will not be disappointed!

[@andywalker8064]

David Gates is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

[@paulmellette8925]

David Gates had all the "A" sides but Jimmy Griffin was as much a talent. Some of his incredible songs might have been hits had they been released, but after Bread hit it big the record company was unwilling to try anything but what/who had scored big for them... Check out Griffin's best work for the band, IMHO, "Our Lady Of Sorrow"

[@Spiritbro77]

You want the Drummer man and a drum solo react to Led Zeppelin MOBY DICK! Bonzo puts on a SHOW kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5DCZaN_rNRkeaM
