Hi, Double Bassist here! What these dudes are doing on their CELLOS still blows my mind, and I’ve seen this easily 100 times. They are obviously classically trained, but want to do contemporary music. They do a killer version of MJ’s SMOOTH CRIMINAL, too. Their talent and musicianship is off the charts. I believe they are friends from Croatia, but don’t quote me on that. Just phenomenal. P.s. CELLO is pronounced ‘CHELLO’, and yes, they can do that live.
Live in Zagreb ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MnQBqCX5alU.html they are friends but also rivals they are constantly competing over who is better and both have a doctorate in classical music they could neatly teach Cello at the Academy of Music
someone else who does that is David Garrett on his violin. Not sure how well known he is outside of Germany but he is great too in combining classic and modern era.
Elton John helped give them their big break after finding their RU-vid channel. Elton invited them to perform as his warm up act at one of his concerts. Elton John helped 2 Cellos become a star band. Cello pronounced Chello.
Give me flashbacks to a random NYE I spent living in Croatia where we wandered down to the Riva where these guys were performing a free concert. We managed to meander our way right to the front and stand feet away while they shredded. Such an amazing act.
Saw the two Cellos at Wembly stadium UK in June 2022. They were just as they are in this video. They were accompanied by a drummer. Everyone stood rocking to their music. All ages were there . My husband is 82 and I am 73. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Yep, it's real. I know a cellist who can pull sounds out of it that you'd swear came from a marimba one minute & a human voice the next (I say as a fellow vocalist). And he improvs it with a loop pedal. Amazing instrument, and the things a good player can do with one will blow your mind EVERY time. BTW, those flying strings are real, too. Cellos are one thing, but ACDC was not meant for horsehair bows! lol
@@marisagettas I remember seeing something a while ago where they were doing for an ad I believe it was and they had bought them each four bows and they went through that completely
2 Croatian mates who were discovered by Elton John who then took them on tour. Both classically trained, but their covers versions are something, the only real difference live is the have a drummer and their humour comes through. They are just brilliant
@@rauyphotography7433 funny you mention rivals considering there is some 1 upsmanship is this video with how they played off each other. and whats great about the way that go about it is they seem like they compete while setting up and elavating each other in their back and forth
The anxiety may be because cellos are often used to build tension in movie & TV soundtracks, maybe in certain intervals between rapid notes, not sure of the technicalities, but I could recognise something similar here in the higher part.
Watch their entire concert from the Sydney Opera House in 2017....the first part of the show is beautiful renditions of some amazing film scores....the second part is "party time" and these lads go crazy on rock anthems. A fantastic show, about 90 minutes long. And it isn't "sellos"...it's "chellos"..the instruments they play. I think (???) they're Croatian.
There was an amusingly intense edit war on the 2Cellos Wikipedia page over whether they're "Croatian" or "Croatian and Slovenian" because they're both _ethnically_ Croatian but one of them was born in Slovenia.
@@jb888888888 The band "2Cellos" is a Croatian band, the band originated in Croatia. Stjepan Hauser is a Croat, Luka Šulić was born in Slovenia, his father is a Croat from the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia (he is also a cellist) and his mother is Slovenian. Luka has Croatian and Slovenian citizenship. No one but Luka himself can claim who he is! BTW I know no one asked but I am a Croat! PS: I apologize for my English
Omg these guys are sensational. I saw them live in St.Kilda in Australia and people of all ages were so moved by their talent. I was so happy they did aeet n greet afterward and I was lucky enough to meet them and get my singlet top signed. Such a great night If you ever get the chance, go see them live. 💜💫💜💫💜💫
2 Cellos are awesome! (Pronounced Chellos) That song gets my adrenaline up too. It feels a lot like anxiety. For some reason I find that cello music seem to be able to influence my emotions more so than other instruments.
Your reaction is priceless! Yes, they are real. Their adrenaline rubs off on you. I got to see them live in Connecticut 2 nights ago. They were amazing, and their drummer was amazing, also. I am a 72 year old grandmother who likes classical music, but now I'm like a teenage groupie for this fantastic duo. More people should love music, like you!
Great music demands great responses. Music should always affect your emotions, that's why I'm constantly searching for more. Music can bring people together, especially when it's played by talents like these two.
I had the pleasure of seeing these 2 amazing cello players when they toured Australia supporting Sir Elton John about a decade ago. They are AMAZING live. 💜🇦🇺
@@Dr_KAP His back up singers were all hall of fame legends too... and he is such a humble and appreciative artist. Was not something I saw myself at the time going to, but got silver seats for my Wifes birthday as she adored him and to this day was one of the best shows I've been to.
So, obviously they're sampling here - you can hear more than 2 instruments as they add layers - but yes, they're playing everything you hear. They're amazing, and great showmen, too. They have separate, solo careers, too. So glad you enjoyed them!
These guys have been favorites of mine for a long time. They have a great selection of songs to react to. They also have whole concerts online. I think they are touring right now as well, billed as a fair well concert.
I saw them live in Connecticut. It was a spectacular event! Wild, loud, great sound, great show and, I can’t wait to see them again. They’re albums are fantastic.
These guys are great! Like how they got into character for this piece of music. They really shred their strings when they play with so much energy. Very talented guys! This is my second time watching these guys. The other one I saw was them doing Pirates Of The Caribbean.
I have to be honest here, you sir, out of all the artists and YT reacts I've seen on 2cellos, you are one of the most wholesome and honest people I've seen, thank you for reacting to these amazing talents that these awesome artists brought to our doorsteps!!
"live in a few months'... Lucky you! These 2 gentlemen are true artists! Exceptional skills and they bring classic sounds to the modern audience in a completely unique way!
Yeah baby!! I LOVE these guys!! Look after you hun, remember to drink heaps of water to help move that hard energy atm..🥰😇🙏💝💯 your patreon picked one of the best!! That's not anxiety hun, you been THUNDERSTRUCK!! THATS one hellova way to kick ass on a cello. West Australia loves you..
They are going on a farewell tour this year so grab your tickets if they come to your city 😁 also check some more of their covers like Smooth criminal, GOT and my fav performance "Lipa Moja" with Oliver Dragojevic
These guys are spectacular 👏 Every song they have bought to life on their cellos is amazing. Mozart Heros are another favourite group doing the same sort of thing.
Fun trivia; in the Italian language, che is pronounced as 'k', as in kite, and ce is pronounced as 'ch', as in chill. So cello is pronounced chello. Also what amuses Italians is how we add 's' to words for plural, which they don't (pizzas for example, when the plural is pizze) Two Cellos in Italian is due celli. Anyways, two awesome cellists playing two obviously robust cellos (celli!) 😂
I had a famous Australian martial artist come to my house once. Frank Barca. He saw my double bass in the living room on its stand and asked who's cello that was. I said "Frank, you speak Italian. I know. I have heard you speak it. What does "cello" mean?" He replied "It means 'small'" "Well does that look very fucking 'cello' to you mate? That's a double bass." Tough words from a man who he could have ripped the head of off. I got a laugh and a hug.
The cello is an incredible instrument. The range and depth of sound that two immensely talented, classically trained musicians can evoke from it is intense. Thunderstruck is already an intense song, but paired with this instrument and these two, it is anxiety in a bottle. 😂
Domagoj, I found the Verona concert yesterday after recommending the Sydney one...I love the Verona amphitheatre (I've heard it will host the closing ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics). Now I want to look for the Zagreb one!
@@petermcgrath9008 i was at that concert in Zagreb, it was free concert at one of city squares ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MnQBqCX5alU.html
Saw these guys live at Gold Coast entertainment centre in 2018. They put on an amazing performance with a mixture of classical and modern music. They called the whole audience down onto the floor and were running around in the crowd and having a great time.
Saw them last night in Durham NC. I have never seen such energy. They lit the venue up. Interesting audience. I am 75, thought I would look out of place-NOT!Had a fantastic time.
All the pent up energy of an AC/DC concert. Brilliant! That was my best reaction to your best reaction so far...I love your little cameo performance in he middle "Andrew Jackson in the front, my god in heaven what...what...what is happening in here". You can act sunshine!
I am proud to say Stjepan Hauser is from my hometown Pula, Croatia. The drummer (Dusan Kranjc) who is with them on live shows is also from here. Luka Sulic is born in Slovenia but I believe he also lives in Croatia. Sir Elton John saw their youtube video where they covered Michael Jackson song (if i remember well it was Smooth Criminal) and he invited them on a tour with him. The rest is history. But to be fair behind all of this are years of classical training, education, devotion and no giving up. Their love for the music is evident in every note played! Thank you for reacting and I hope you will react to some more of their covers! Bye!
Thanks for your love and support all through this times, it’s been a wonderful feeling playing for my fans around the world. Though I rarely comment here on my RU-vid pages, I was attracted by the emotions in your comment. I’ll like we get along and stay in touch. Where are you streaming from#2Cellos💖🎻
Wow. WOW! Thank you for introducing me to 2 cellos! ... And my reaction was the same as yours: what the H@@@ did I just see and hear??? Gotta see more.
What you just saw …. MUSIC 😁🤗 Ain’t it GREAT when someone “steps out of the box” and takes you somewhere you weren’t expecting ?😁 and if you are prepared to shift your expectations, you get the ride of your life ! ( Btw, the instruments were Cellos( pronounced cellos) 👍 Thanks for sharing this, You are good!😁
you mean the first "last tour?" in a couple of years when they get bored and when they gather new ideas and make new arrangements and covers, they will back 100%

What a great reaction! I was also laughing so hard I was crying...it was an exceptional reaction to great music! Ty. Needed that 💗 Loved your looks of sheer wonderment.
Just went to their concert in Philly last Friday night! They are spot on live and unbelievably amazing. They are best friends from Croatia (and their drummer is also from Croatia) and even the opening act is good (the Matt Simons band). This is their last tour, so go if you can (and the tickets aren't outrageous and worth the price).

Your reaction to 2CELLOS is priceless. I only hope that others can share in this experience and have the same reaction as you did. Love to you and 2CELLOS!❤👍😘
Absolutely love these guys! You should definitely listen to their version of "smooth criminal", "highway to hell" and for something a little lighter, "wake me up". I would also love to see these guys when they come to the states, but all their concerts are scheduled to be on the east coast and I live on the west. 😒
@ThatSingerReactions, it's pronounced "Chellos", and the dress style and hair is old Viennese (the style of the 1700's and 1800's Vienna, Austria). I watch 2Cellos Thunderstruck a LOT. It's AMAZING, AWESOME. I love the end how the one cellist lies down on the stage and makes his cello "sing", and how the other cellist keeps playing even when his bow hairs break. The best cover of Thunderstruck I've heard.
Hysterical! “This is giving me anxiety.” 🤣👍‼️‼️ I literally laughed out loud when you said this. It was only because it was so intense that I I didn’t realize how anxious I was until you said it🙌🥳
I first discovered them on the TV show Glee and haven't looked back. Two guys playing modern music on my favorite string instrument the cello (Chello). I too would love to see them live.
They are currentlly on the USA tour, Stjepans parents live in my village,i was yesterday passing by their house,they invited me for a drink, nice folks, also into the art
Two Cello's are LEGEND!! Yes they are making that sound and shredding those bows. And there literally is nothing from classical to hard rock they have not perfected! Super excited to see them live in concert in just 2 days!!! If Thunderstruck is to much check out 2 Cello's classical! Oh and it Cello's like Fellows

These guys are actually coming to Australia this year!! So excited and fingers crossed I'll be able to go, cos I've seen some of their 'live' stuff and it's simply amazing. Have been following them for years now and they've never ceased to entertain me :)
Going to the Dallas show April 10th, checking it off my bucket list. Next bucket list I want to check off is The Danish National Symphony Orchestra "The Morricone Duel"
instrumental and classic music can give you chills, lighten you up, to keep it short: It influences your soul so much if you are open for it. Also I love how the children are happy when they play it and the adults are like "what devil music is this?" which always happens when a new music genre appears between the already established ones.
