I've watched all of the Dirty Loops interviews and this one had unique questions and different angles than most of the others. Thanks for posting! It's always interesting to hear Henrik's humility and down to earth nature for being such an amazing talent.
Henrik Linder interview!! Thanks for that, Steve, I’m stoked you got those twenty minutes with Henrik in. And as usual, he’s so disarmingly honest about everything, especially where he sucks and what he’s horrible and really bad at…. 😉 Totally interesting though, how he explains the way Dirty Loops works. I’ll have to listen to that bit again, 3 minutes into ‘Next To You’… What stood out for me: “…if something is impossible, we have to solve it.” That philosophy, together with his way of thinking about weak spots, and how working on them can lift the rest of your game -I loved those. Loved the whole interview. Thanks again for it, Steve, and I hope you and the Loops enjoyed the concert that night 🔥🔥🔥
Great interview. Very relaxed and informative. I saw them live back in 2014. They were amazing - Henrik: "Yeah back in 2014-2015 we sounded pretty shitty..." 😂
Love him, love Dirty Loops. Googled Henrik & Matt Garska and listened to Gem's Vertigo, and HOLY CRAP. Then listened to a reaction from Key of Geebz, and he called Henrik "a sniper," alluding to the precision of his playing... incredibly intense. No words. Great interview, thanks so much!
Brilliant work, man, a very relaxed and interesting talk! - and pretty cool, I always viewed Henrik Linder as the most "shy" of the dudes, but he is the one that takes most of the media work. Met him and Aron after their gig in my town in Sweden and was struck then by how surprised and shocked they seemed to be of having fans and people that loved what they do. It seems you are indeed the swiss army knife of a person! :-) You should make more of this stuff, its great to feel your passion for music and musicianship!
Wow, good for you on the interview. Must have been awesome to hear from the source himself. I am so relieved that Henrik mentioned they sucked live at the beginning because I bought tickets this week to see them in March. I wanted to do some recon by watching some live videos of them and the 1st one I came upon was in 2014 and let's just say I was shocked, in a negative way. However, I watched the Rock You video from Jam Jam and I feel a lot better now and really look forward to March now. I was always planning to see them, I was just caught off guard by what I heard in the 2014 video. Great great band, they blow away some of the shit that is popular today by a country mile.
Look at you getting an interview with Henrik freakin Linder. Wowww. Ok...I'm impressed. Was stoked to hear they have new music coming out next year too. Soooooo how were they live?
Yeah it was an honour to meet him. Also had an off camera chat with Aron who was super nice. Live they sounded damn perfect. They’re just so skilled. It was joyful.
I'm so happy you two talked about GEM a little! I would love to see those three partner up again to make some crazy shit, they're godly when they get together!
I love this interview so much. The technical stuff goes over my head, of course, as I am not musical. But this felt very laid back and comfortable. The Islandic singer he spoke of is Stina Agustsdottir. They've made some pretty nice music together.
Thanks Jamila! It felt like a really cool full circle moment having been making videos reacting to their music for the last couple of years. They were all lovely in person too.
This is so eye-opening, but simultaneously not surprising, that Aron is so involved in the actual writing as well. I'm still flabbergasted tho.. Just to let you know Steve, this should get some decent traction because it's such a well-executed interview. Kudos friend😁
It's so comforting to hear that one of the greatest bass players I've ever seen had a tough time getting really good at slap bass. I have the same exact issue, the E (and B) string is easy to slap but the ones above that, my aim sucks!
Love watching your reaction videos and I particularly enjoyed your interview with Henrik. Great questions and insight into the creation of Dirty Loops tunes and performances. I thought you did a great job of extracting music details from Henrik.
@@SteveOGRock haha long story but i did go back but by the time i nearly got to them they had to leave but i managed to snag a quick signature from Aron and Henrik then got lost finding my car on the way home with a dead phone and no coat or money 😂
Congratulations Steve, on a very good and relaxed interview with Henrik. You had some interesting questions and it seemed like Henrik had a good time too.
What a nice surprise! 😃 Long time since your channel popped up and then with an interview with Henrik! Happy for you that you got to talk to him and glad you shared it with us 😊 Hope also you had a good concert experience with them! I saw them in a smaller setting this summer. Very good & upliftning!
The hit coming into the synth solo on Next To You is one 16th triplet BEFORE the actual downbeat. Aron fools us a bar earlier by playing a big sextuplet fill that sounds like its first note (snare flam) is on that bar's downbeat, but it isn't -- the SECOND note of the fill is the downbeat with that snare flam being a pickup to the bar. Aron does this after a big long pause in the beat so that we're a little disoriented when he starts wailing on that big fill. This is completely on purpose -- musicians call it "losing 'em around the corner", like a car that's being chased attempting to throw the cops off his trail. If worse comes to worst and you just can't hear it correctly as played, throw the song into a DAW like ProTools and set up a click to follow the song as precisely as possible, and you'll think Aron rushed the fill leading to the solo until you start to hear the actual placement of the first note of the fill as a pickup to the downbeat.
Oh and by the way, on their track ‘Where’s the Beat’, have you figured out that missing beat? I reckon they just drop one quarter beat in the midsection… 😱
@@fiddlestix3025 They definitely enjoy the musical pranks on us for sure! I'm actually not familiar with Where's The Beat?, but I'll bet it's full of such silliness. Can you link me?
It's nice that Henrik is so straightforward with shortcomings and room for improvement. Nice interview, thanks to both of you! Also, really nice hearing Henrik's praise for Aron!
Great interview! I always find it interesting to hear about their working process and how they think about music, and you posed a lot of questions I've never heard in interviews with any of them before. Thanks a lot for doing this! 💚
Apparently, I have the exact same early bass influences as Henrik Linder. Not a bad place to start. The fact that he's like 5 years younger than me is pretty damn depressing tho.
September 24 2014 I saw them in Assens Denmark. I made a Facebook post about how terrible the sound was and most people were in disagreement with me because they were so blinded by the musicality of the guys. I'm a bass player/sax player with PA sound experience and moved throughout the hall to find a place I could hear the complexity of the bass lines. It was impossible to hear him over the boominess of the bass frequencies and bass drum. I thought the soundmen were wrong for the style of music. Granted, the hall could have been hard to work in, but NEVER should bass frequencies sound so boosted like they did especially for such technically complex music. I stood next to the sound mixer (sometimes they are placed in a bass trap) and went up front and went up to the balcony. The balcony had the best sound but if I remember correctly nobody was allowed to sit up there. I feel glad that he acknowledges the bad sound. I think people saying "he's wrong they sounded great" is a disservice to his ears. He was at all of their concerts so he experienced all of the situations including the politics of maybe trying to get that soundman or soundcrew changed out.
Look to pretty much every hit song we know, there are three options: 1- there is a great drummer, 2- drummer wrote it 3- the producer is a drummer. I'm not a drummer btw
