Dirty Loops Cory Wong Thriller Reaction 

At 75, with Parkinson’s & cancer, Dirty Loops gets my hide movin!! You are a great host & analyst, breaking down the dynamics of a piece!! I played a baritone Bb horn for years& love seeing & hearing the contribution of the double bell ! Keep goin’!!!

Fun fact: the album was executive produced by Quincy Jones!

Do you guys know that Dirty Loops filmed in Sweden, and the Cory side filmed in Minnesota - they got identical sets and cameras and stitched the video together. Cory talked about it on his podcast

I´m a Swede and feel this silly patriotic pride for the Dirty Loops. But to be honest, I come to back to their Thriller version for the horn section just as much. When has anybody heard something similar since the 1960s? Am I exaggerating? Veeery good reaction btw, you surely know your shit!

The extra bell on the euphonium is called a Marcellophone. Although it's adapted for a euphonium rather than an F attachment trombone in this case, it fits into the tuning slide for the compensating valve on the euphonium and allows for cool hormony effects naturally on the euphonium. It was originally adapted by a man named John Marcellus who was a trombone teacher at Virginia Commonwealth that actually taught my trombone professor while he was working on his masters. Just wanted to give some info on that device since you asked about it.

I've always noticed Henrik's smile and Jonah turning to look at Aron when the second verse starts, but it never dawned on me that maybe something was supposed to happen that didn't (like a door slam) until you said that. Very observant of you.

This is SO good it's ridiculous.

You should check out the Song "Turbo" with Cory Wong . It is very Tower of Power-ish you will love it as well !

As someone who was a touring/studio bassist through my 20’s and 30’s, but has since moved on from making my living that way, it’s nice to run across one of these reaction videos where the person actually speaks the appropriate language of an educated pro. Cheers 👍

This makes me think how great it would be for them to do a movie score!

I'm definitely going to get all of their stuff,,,these guys give you everything,,,it's awesome,,,

The depth of analysis you provided made it impossible for me to hit subscribe quickly enough. Well done!

Awesome... Horns were Princes'

2:40 as a drummer I subscribed purely based on what you said there. Thank you my friend!

Man, this is such a roller coaster of a song! I've played a double bell euph. one time in my life, and never thought I would ever see one in a Thriller cover, but yup there it is! INSANE guys!!!

LOVE Dirty Loops & Cory Wong is also fantastic! Bass is my favorite instrument & it doesn't get much better than Henrik Linder! (Of course, I'm a major Victor Wooten fan, as well!) 🥰

I am glad you discovered Dirty Loops! This is epic artistry.

Instant Stank Face the moment the bass drops in!!

They also recorded seperatly. Dirty Loops in Sweden and Cory in USA

Outstanding reaction!!

Welcome to the rebirth of Quincy Jones and his horn sections. The blessing we received was from David Foster relinguishing ownership and control of Dirty Lookps contract. He sat on them for a full year and they disbanded. A year later and it was announced that Quincy took over their contract so what you see is Jona Nilson's theory and arrangements being enhanced by the master horn arranger of Quincy Jones. We are truly blessed. And I can say personally, that these guys are the real deal. Actual real musicians who are great people. I met them with my two daughtera November 7, 2014 at the Kessler in Dallas, TX. My daughter, Jada, at the time was 7 years old and was terrified of them, but they did their best to have a conversation with her. The picturee is on my Facebook page. We were the first to meet them in Dallas because she was the youngest concert-goer that evening and they pushed us to the front. Phenominal young men and I am so glad that my oldest daughter turned me on to them. She decided to slip out and get something to eat and me and my youngets got to meet them. It was a long disappointing conversation for her, but I didnt have to tell her to stay put from then on.

Tnx for a inspiring reaction, Think u would go crazy on the Singer/keyboard player Jonah Nilssons new soloalbum, Do "Diamond Ring" please👍

Cory Wong’s horn section are none other than ‘The Horn Heads’ who played with Prince. You should check out one of Quincy Jones’ other discoveries: Jacob Collier. i recommend “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing”

You killed the number in the drummer yo. Sometimes you just gotta keep that pocket going. It’s not about you. Take a seat! Right?

Thats a great reaction! Yoy notice every good part in the song👏👏

Great reaction friend! Just found your channel. Love the direction of Wong/Vulfpeck/Cory and the Wong Tones, etc and Dirty Loops. This almost 70 yr old finds a great future for music. Keep preaching it!

That would be a double-bell euphonium. First time I have EVER seen one used. I always thought it was a made up instrument from The Music Man!

Always check the credits at the end. Often some funny stuff in there. Keep doing it J.

Thank you for this. Your channel lights a fire in my 70yr old heart. Takes me back 55yrs to my favortite High School class and teacher. Keep going and always be you. By the way, I discovered you and subscribed after my second viewing months ago.😊

I just love the groove of this. It’s like got an12 sounding groove instead of the straight 4 groove on Jackson’s song. It’s hard to change the groove a song this incredibly iconic and well known and make it this good

I am not sure how I got on your video, but I am glad I did. I have 2 grammy-award winning friends and one is Quentin E. Baxter out of Charleston, SC. You need to check him out. As I said earlier in the comments this makes so much sense now. Check out the Quincy Jones documentary and realize that the 500M man heard them once and he made an offer. These guys disbanded for two years under Foster. I love David Foster. Without him, there would be no Earth, Wind, and Fire! But they are no Michael Buble. Basically, I love that other musicians can translate the conversations. We are blessed that we can do this. Meeting this was life-changing and then they are the nicest guys! I love your face. Only a drummer can make those faces.

This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼son! Love watching your mind work!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

I love listening to someone who is obviously a good musician (though I've never heard you) listen to and talk about some incredible musicians. You have the best reaction videos!

300th like, from one drummer to another, I loved watching you disect certain bits that I didn't even notice :D great video brother

Great reaction! 👏 🙏 💖

Thank You for introducing me to these guys.

You MUST react to "Next to You" if you haven't already heard it.

Fantastic review from a fellow knowledgeable and clearly talented musician.. love and peace!

I want something so bad on the door slam, glad someone else felt it was missing. But on an interesting note, this was not recorded live. In fact, Dirty Loops recorded their videos for the album in Sweden, and Cory and his players recreated the set up in Minnesota. They have never met in person.

You ever need a sax player? I can provide the sauce 😄 Seriously though, I would love to play with someone that has such positive energy like you do!

This was fantastic!!! I hate to beg, BUT.... I know we, as subscribers and lovers of what you do, (geez!!) Would LOVE to watch you listen and react ro Jacob Collier with Take 6 cover Lionel Richie's, All Night Long... PLEASE.. PLEASE.... PLEASE.... HAHA

Great reaction. Thanks.

So you like good musicians? If you haven´t reacted to Juan Gabriel, live at Bellas Artes, you should do that? Favourite song: Hasta que te conoci. It´s a blast, you are goona love it!

Exvellent review and acknowlegdwment of the drummer's "roll" (role!) as a musician who knows when to step up or lay low in the cut. New sub and former drummer (turned baseball player; both, "back in the day"😄

Man, i've been loving your react videos. You should react to the druming on Slaughter To Prevail - Demolisher. It'll blow your mind

BTW excellent review!

Love this reaction, man! So good. You ever checked out any of Matt Gartska's playthroughs for the last Animals as Leaders album? One of the best drummers in the scene.

If you like to listen to music during your workouts, every song they have made should be on your I-Pad, phone or any devise you use, nothing but ass kicking music

What is the background music when you are talking? Sounds really good too

Hi, you should react to my man Simon Grey - Takuma you wont be disappointed

My man was so disgusted to the groove. Amazing reaction and stank-face!

Old fart here. You certainly seem to know what your'e talking about here. Well said. Be great, keep it up, and then up it.

Kille 2 dif places

Just in case people did not believe me.
