Writing and recording without our right hands

Even though it's not right

[@anteshell]

Empty cup of coffee, roll of electric tape, tape measurer, lip moisturiser and unopened pack of cigarettes. All of those bought with my inheritance money from my late granma, except the tape which I stole from work. Don't even want to think what this tells about me. :D

[@lukaslazari]

it's crazy how much the "jangle" during the chorus adds to the royal blood feeling lol

[@TheShaggster37]

I'm feeling an Arctic Monkeys - Highly Suspect vibe a bit as well.

i was thinking black keys but royal blood makes a lot more sense actually

[@evilscientistrecords]

You're... Dad to Me

[@vinz2029]

Exactly this dead/dad - thing is what I dig the most about that song. I wonder if that was intentional (asking for a friend :D )

Luckily my phone was in my left hand when I saw this notification.

Hmmm what were you doing with the other hand >:)

[@BeastOfSoda]

15:35 I'm amused at the producer playing air guitar with both hands.

[@pymandres]

think those were air drums

[@BeastOfSoda]

I stand corrected, I thought he did both air guitar and drums. My bad.

Lol. Same here. I was about to go ride my bike, but now I'm stuck 😂

[@scottflora]

Same!

[@a7xmaNga]

In the same way,I wrote lyrics for another song 😂

[@Thessik73]

I really liked this one, but then again, I am left-handed.

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

Watch Steve Vai's song/video called "Knappsack." He just had surgery on his right shoulder, so he couldn't use his right hand. So the song is played only with the left hand on guitar.

[@CaptainTedStryker]

Yep, from the difficulties Rob was having with the solo, i'm guessing he hasn't seen it. Steve solves all his issues plus throws in stuff like whammy bar to push it even more. Every guitar player should definitely see it at least once.

[@lilschlagen]

They literally never stop making bangers lol. Some of the early FOO stuff got a bit rough at times but by now they've got so much experience doing this kinda thing that it makes you wonder what kind of crazy prog rock kind of album they could put together without a time limit.

[@Dekkuran]

The house band segments are so great. I love the sass.

[@theelectricant98]

Its a great little touch of detail that makes this show the best on KZbin

[@George_vv]

On Rob's video I only commented with my right hand to play along. So to mix it up, I only commented this with my nose.

[@frenchismexican]

Thats a big nose job!

[@Schwa_Iska]

Snot bad

[@althejazzman]

It's not what you nose, it's who you nose.

Except Rick Allen plays with an electronic kit that’s modified specifically for him to play with 1 hand, not an acoustic set made to play with 2 😂

I think it has 'car advert' potential

[@a7xmaNga]

No dads were harmed during the making of this song lol😂

[@KevinPelz]

Next need to do one, where you both have to use each instrument together. No solo work

[@raeyth_]

Very Walk Off the Earth vibes, I'd love to see them try it.

[@monkeybusiness673]

YES!

[@evilscientistrecords]

8:32 Andrew, you are using your right hand!! You should have used your left hand to write the lyrics.......

[@CaptainTedStryker]

Technically correct. Disqualified! J/K

Lmao, his handwriting is barely legible as is, that would just be cruel.

[@AlexAfferMetallica]

@@Demonriftscouldve just typed it on his phone with his left hand

[@althejazzman]

These songs always sound greater than the sum of their parts. The melodies make so much more impact with the full mix below them.

[@MaybeAnnatar]

This is so Muse-y in all the best ways. This goes HARD

[@dolgolae]

Maybe Muse’ music this whole time was just left handed

True

[@MaybeAnnatar]

@@dolgolae The comedy in the knowledge that Dominique Howard (Muse's drummer) is a lefty

[@1slave25]

That's what I was thinking too...

[@Flonei]

Im listening to this song panned hard left and the right handed song panned hard right. Its an experience

[@GregJonson]

Check out Steve Vai's song Knappsack if you don't already know it! The backstory there is that Steve Vai had a right arm surgery and while the arm was recovering he wrote a five minute guitar solo that's all hammer-ons and pull-offs. Freaking bonkers.

[@WitchKing99]

I was thinking about that song all the time when watching this video! :D Great inspiration for sure!

[@The_Phantom_Rainbow]

I think it would be absolutely magical if for an episode of Sonic Boom, or even just a collaboration video with Rob Scallon, if you two revisited Pretty Raw and made the version you two were hearing on October 1st. You two both felt like it could use more, vocals, guitar, other arrangement parts. The song is so beautiful and I'm so curious to see what the alternate timeline could've been!

[@AvidSurvivalist]

11:30 "I WANT IT AAALLL" I Want It All by Hell or Highwater intensifies.

[@RafiBarides]

this is song is absolutely awesome.

[@DasOmen02]

Two Sonic BOOOOOOM episodes in one day? You're spoiling us!! This song sounds like a lovechild between Artic Monkeys and Royal Blood. They should probably watch out...

[@luridweekend]

These songs just keep getting better and better.

[@novemberoscar98]

Father's Inheritance was the alternate title to the hit "I Cant Wait to be King" from the beloved animated musical Lion King.

[@Gruncival]

Possibly for genre reasons, but this is my favorite Sonic Boom! song so far. Tying in with Rob's question for structure, I always always always love an extended instrumental outro. It lets me digest the last lyrics as the imagination goes crazy over the solos.

[@jamiyin5918]

1:20 I love that awkwardly silence

[@shoyahaaruni]

Screaming "Give your money to me!" after "i want it all" wouldve fit so good

[@rexarrow4133]

I cant belive they didnt call the right handed song "Im all right now" and the left handed song something with "sinister" in it, because "sinister" is latin for "left" or the like.

[@hadinossanosam4459]

I'd say the topic of this one is sinister enough to count :P

[@moyamedia9]

came into these comments to see where the "sinister" suggestion was

[@emilyrln]

At that point, you'd need to have the right-hand title use "dexter" of one of its cognates, as that was Latin for "right."

[@ogpandamonium]

Missed opportunity to say "You're dad to me"

[@fish8128]

Those riffs sound very royal blood eque!

[@Hennu_TRM]

Funny how the left hand song turned out so much more sinister...

[@Doug_Edwards99]

Fun fact, the word sinister has its root in the old French word for left-handed.

[@emilyrln]

@@Doug_Edwards99haha I was just going to mention that 😂 wonder if they knew…

[@snieznybalwan]

This show is pure joy, never stop doing what you're doing guys!

[@reNINTENDO]

That ending solo was sick. Honestly the whole song was. Both were. You guys are awesome, and love the show.

[@Guacamool]

the high five at 9:35 was with right hands and thus disqualifies this song from the left hands club

[@xANN28x]

13:43 SCREAM YOURE DEAD TO ME

[@BCT611]

Rob would make Meg happy watching this

[@ArmchairBard]

I love the acid blues/stoner rock vibes on this one.

[@McMxxCiV]

For future reference, Rob, you can move the top hi-hat up a bit so it just barely touches the bottom when the pedal's all the way down. That way you can splash it with your foot for something quite close to a crash hit.

[@alienfortytwo]

simplicity that's forced by the challenge makes it sound so evil and caveman-y. really elecates the vibe

[@ryanheying4274]

Black Keys vibes. I love it. Great song!

[@kaiurbany]

Unironically my favorite song they’ve made on this series

[@germalganis]

I can confidently say that Andrew and Rob have more talent in their left hand than most people in their whole body. That was sick!

[@patrickhamilton-ferren1041]

totally Royal Blood coded! love it

[@salty_slug]

I thought I'd try playing both songs at the same time to see how you sound with both hands. Doesn't really work, but at some points it almost does, like lyrics going back and forth, some parts slowing while others pick up, etc. I think this could be a cool concept though!

[@Vei2aC]

Rob's solo was very Tom Morello...

[@jenniferh3039]

That was so good. I am reminded of the score to John Carpenter's Vampires, and that's my favorite movie of all time so that automatically makes this ten times better.

[@ShaneT5S]

I know it’s just the sponsored segment, but I absolutely love my OC18 mic, just the single cardioid capsule, but I use it on my dad’s guitar and track his guitar and vocals simultaneously and individually and it sounds great both times. I’ve also seen it used as overheads on Avenged Sevenfold drums on stage

[@Omlet221]

4:33 Cheating, Rob used his right hand for emotional support!

[@Itscapj_worldz]

You guys are absolutely amazing. Watched Andrew since I was like 10 and inspired me ever since and this song is underrated like I lowkey want it on my playlist.

[@joshk2181]

[@ultimanet]

I have successfully completed the 2 hands quest, now I feel enlightened

[@casinosquare8169]

I own a double capsule microphone like that, it's a Josephson C720. The thing I like the most with that kind of mike is that you can choose which directivity you need during the mix by blending one capsule into the other : omni, cardio or stereo of course but also hypercardoid and figure 8 if you flip the phase of one of the capsules. Pretty powerful mike 🔥

[@skye3292]

I would love to see unedited/full clips from the Sonic Boom sessions! You two are a huge inspiration for my songwriting and I’d love to see more of the raw stuff!

ROFL, on Rob's Right hands only my mind went to Steve Vai's Fire Garden, but on this one it went towards Rush's Tom Sawyer. Still recovering from the crazy Blue Man Group collab though Andrew, congrats on that once again. xD

Itd be a fun variation on this challenge you had to produce one song, both only allowed to use one hand (hard mode: if one picks right, the other has to pick left or vice versa)

[@alexanderginger754]

Lowkey, for these challenges you should try doing a contest in your community where people attemt to make music using the same restrictions as you do. Imagine your both audiences doing some one handed music and then you react to it in one of the videos, that would be awesome

[@sarniaguitarguy9405]

Awesome doom vibe to the main riff. Kinda like Kyuss or The Sword

[@thatmckenzie]

The left hand path has a proud musical tradition.

[@Majester01]

Nice vidéo guys :D Once I broke my right arm so I learnt playing my banjo with only the left one. That's a good exercise and once you manage to play, it's quite satisfying. (it's even more satifying when you can play with both hands again)

[@garydiamondguitarist]

I was so inspired by your Hands video duo that I wrote a song before having my morning coffee. Sadly, I did use both my hands but if it makes you feel better, I basically have no coordination before coffee so it's the same thing 😂

[@jeremiahclasen5742]

Any time Andrew uses this vocal filter it’s a banger.

[@fugithegreat]

This song has no business to be this good 😂 I would need 20 hands to make something half as decent.

Man both of these songs came out so cool.
