FIRST TIME HEARING - DIRTY LOOPS - NEXT TO YOU ( METAL VOCALIST ) 

The Dirty Loops journey has begun

The comment that usually appears under these videos are: "Dirty Loops is what happens when every person in the band is the best musician in the band...."

"Jazz, metal, funk...?" And then they go all gospel! 😆 Welcome to the limitless world of Dirty Loops! Loved the reaction, listening to it now, I´m sitting here laughing. Your surprise and enthusiam is good to see. ESPECIALLY since you are into metal... Dirty Loops really cross borders.

Dirty Loops - Feat Cory Wong - Follow the light (crazy bass solo)

Oh my... hahahah the DL rabbit hole is deeeeeep John... Lets GO !!!!!

Welcome down the rabbit hole of Dirty Loops hehe

I'm proud to be from Sweden. Seeing theese dudes in concert very soooon.

Hahaha, what a wonderful reaction! I just love to see someone experiencing Dirty Loops for the first time and have their mind blown. They started the group as a hobby project in 2008, and never thought it would be anything other than that. In 2010 they put up a video on youtube (a cover of Lady Gaga's "Just Dance"), as a booking reference, to see if they could get a gig or two, just for fun, as they thought their music was way too unsexy for anyone to actually like it. Needless to say, they were completely wrong. The video went viral and a LOT of people absolutely loved it. Just about everything they've ever released is of this ridiculous musical quality, so if you consider checking out more of them, you could basically pick anything, and you more than likely won't be disappointed. My personal favourite is one of their more jazz fusion-y pieces, "Work Shit Out". They've all known each other and played together for 20+ years by now, in their mid-thirties. Jonah (keyboard/vocals) and Henrik (bass) even went to music elementary school together and met when Henrik was 11 and Jonah was 9. Aron (drums) comes from another part of Sweden and came along when he moved to Stockholm at the age of 16, to attend the same music high school as they did (he was in the year between the other two). Then they all attended Kungliga Musikhögskolan (Royal College of Music) in Stockholm, where Henrik and Aron studied jazz/rock, and Jonah opted for music production as his main subject. Believe it or not, but Jonah says the piano is his first instrument, not the singing. He comes from a family of classical musicians, and has sung in choirs (mostly chamber choirs) his whole life, but started studying the classical piano when he was 11 and then switched to jazz mid-highschool. When they started the band he had never sung lead and didn't even know if he could. These dudes are ridiculous! 🤯

You are now loopified, once you have jumped into that rabbit hole there is no turning back. They are by far the most interesting music phenomenon entering the music scene in decades and I simply love it.

Pure, unadulterated perfection is what you just watched. Get into it!

This is probably my favorite first time Dirty Loops reaction! The whole thing blows your face off! I love it!

Standing ovation from me. This really is one of the most melodic compositions from them. Pure genius from all of them.

😊You’ve just begun mate. Cheers from southern Italy!

Dude. Just the best 3 musicians to ever get together...thats all.

I think the most mindblowing part of this song is finding out that literally ALL the vocals in this track are Jonah, the lead singer. Aron the drummer wrote these choir backing vocals super last-minute, then he and Jonah assigned each part a "character", and Jonah would distort his voice to fit part so it would sound like a full choir.

In contrast to the wall of speakers, you can watch their video "Breakdown". It starts with a fade-in of a mini bass box with 5 microphones pointed at it. 😅

Henrik is endorsed by EBS amps in Sweden, hence the massive wall of amps in most of their videos. People even started making comments about it on their videos like: How many amps does Henrik need ? All of them ! etc etc . He jokingly turned that around though in the "World on fire" video where he's using only one of the smaller EBS amps with a ton of different mics instead !🤣

you just got Loopified, welcome to the tangle ;-) we got funk and games!

Watch Work Shit Out. Jonah plays piano and keys simultaneously, Henrik shreds, and Aron will leave you on the floor with his solo. These guys are just so much fun, so GOOD, so musical, so talented! I'm 70, and I've never seen anything as good as these guys. They are my absolute favorite, I listen to them daily. And don't miss their credits, their sense of humor is hysterical. Aron & Henrik have been playing together since middle school. They were all at school together (the top music school in Sweden) but Jonah is a year younger, so didn't actually play with them much in school.

Dude!! I'm sooo happy you liked it. They are a dope ass Swedish band. Such incredible artists. They always go off. They infuse so many genres of music and that gives their production such a unique sound. I absolutely LOVE them! Thank you so much for reviewing 🫰🏽

Three words dude. "Work Shit Out". Another showcase of their talent. All three get their moments to shine, you will definitely see more of the drummer in a fantastic solo.

Great reaction! More Dirty Loops please!

Dirty Loops is awesome. The producer of this song (and also mix engineer, and mastering engineer) is Simon Petrén. He's done most of Dirty Loops' projects. Simon Petrén lives in Seoul, South Korea, and he has composed, mixed, and produced a lot of Kpop and other Korean music in the last 7 years. He's worked on projects for several of the artists I'm going to show you, including... Sam Kim. In fact, you'll be seeing a Sam Kim song that Simon Petrén co-wrote and produced in two weeks. I'll be interested if you can pick out the connection.

Oh, please watch "Work Sh*t Out" by Dirty Loops.

Enjoy the ride, man. You can watch any music video on their channel. They are all this impressive. All of them.

The 80's show choir girl in me is having a screaming, jumping up and down fit.

I tbink the bass amp stack is a joke… other videos they have 5 mics on a 15 amp speaker… this one, 7 monster stacks… all done in fun. Live he plays I think 1 8x10 maybe ..😊

Now you've done it - you've opened up the rift into the dimension of Dirty Loops, you might as well go on through. Check out "Work Shit Out", "Follow the Light" (with Cory Wong), "Rock You", the list goes on. Welcome to the other side! 😀 Oh, and if you'd like to watch the drummer (Aron) and the bass player (Henrik) pretty much just jamming, check out their side project Songs for Lovers and "Bitten by the Kitten", and be sure to read the credits! 😂

These guys are just nuts... Coming from a family of bassists.. Henrik is my all time favourite (sorry Geddy... and Glenn (Hughes))... they are all so talented... Thank you to whomever it was that suggested it to John !! If Yoongi was Goth... and played bass.... Henrik hahaha

Hit Me by Dirty Loops next please!

I love it when you nerd out over musical things! It really hypes up the reaction and I feel ya on it! This was different than I thought it would be at the start but in a good way! And his vocals are pretty awesome and that HIGH NOTE? Wow!!

This is Dirty Loops!!! You aint seen nothin' yet!!

Great reaction! You have been loopified! :) So much more to come!

OMG!!! Dirty Loops is my absolute fave!!! Their influences are definitely R & B and Gospel 🫶🏽 Their album Loopefied is one for the books! You should hear their song inspired by Stevie Wonder. I absolutely LOVE this album. I didn’t even realize they had released new music! I am in LOVE 💜💜💜💜

Every vocal you hear on this track is Jonah. He did all the vocal tracks (including the multi- layered choir stuff) himself, going so far as to imagine the different "singers" having different characters and vocal sounds. Henrik and Aaron are only vamping for the video.

Amazing band 🔥

All Phoenix EP from them is soo Good... And this song is My Favorite Great reaction

I agree with most comments here! =D I just say....more more more reactions of Dirty Loops tunes, please. #lottalove

Love it❤️

Dirty Loops' "Work Shit Out": listen and marvel.

What a great reaction. Dirty Loops are one of a kind. Each of their songs are a different experience, no two are alike - except they're equally good. This was fun to watch. More pleeez 😃🙏. Thanks!

I´m really enjoying your reactions of Dirty Loops - thank you

Great reaction. It’s pretty much what happens to everyone the first time (including me!)

Great enthusiastic reaction!

Single out any individual player in this band and my reaction is "Oh sh*t this is awesome!!!". Mixing nuanced and slick melody with aggressive in your face shredding is just so impressive. They are tight as tight can get. I can't believe I didn't hear about these guys until now.

Welcome to the LoopHole! You'll find a bunch of crossover DL junkies happy to walk you through the amazement. This band is amazing everytime. If you keep on the quest, you'll eventually get to Breakdown, where you'll find the punchline to the wall of amps prank. I really liked your reaction, you went through the song, letting every new sound and scene talk to you and hit you in the face. That makes it very relatable. Keep on, we're listening

Great reaction. Love the way this song makes you happy. IMO "if you can listen to Dirty loops without smiling, I don't want to know you". Their music is pure joy. These are incredibly skilled musicians who work their asses off to produce amazing music. Check out their song "Work Shit Out".

If you haven't heard / seen them do "Follow the Light" or "Work Shit Out", do yourself a favour and don't miss out. You won't regret it. Hell, anything they do is awesome!!!

Man Dirty Loops there just to crazy my respects for those guys just love them

John, great reaction video! I love to watch people -- especially other musicians -- discover, get blown away by, and fall in love with Dirty Loops. For me, it happened with their first-ever original song, "Hit Me" (check it out). FYI. Steve Vai plays on Jonah Nilsson's video, "Diamond Ring." And DL's newest video, featuring Henrik Linder on bass guitar, will cause you to need surgery. LOL! Have fun!

Check out the entire catalog, my brother. They will change your entire relationship with music! Great reaction. Also, check out Songs For Lovers which is a side project from Dirty Loops. There's only 4 or 5 tracks...all on RU-vid. Enjoy!

I was already a subscriber but now that you reacted to my favorite band, I wish I could subscribe again! These guys are awesome and everything they do is fire. I highly recommend your next selection from them is "Work Shit Out" but really, anything you pick from them you are going to fricken love. These guys have so much fun and it shows in all of their videos. Their last albumn was a colaboration with guitarist Cory Wong and his brass section and it is so next level. Have fun and I look forward to watching you go down this rabbit hole.

Even thou the video shows Aron on the microphone, with Henrik ”world aid”-listening his headphones, it’s all Jonah layered. Jonah all the way down.

Dirty Loops is absolutely the band for musicians! Awesome reaction! Subscribed.

Glad you found these guys among all the other cool reactions you have done. I would highly suggest a tune by them called "Work Sh*t Out"

I like your reaction so much, and you are spot on about their abilities, and about the bassist and the drummer getting along well. Maybe someone will tell you about their student days, which explains it.

Each member of this band is an expert in their craft. Add to the fact that Jonah Nilsson has a voice that rivals Stevie Wonder, this band is for real. Love everyone of their videos and hope they keep producing more! Love seeing first time reactions as this band is a breath of fresh air from all of the over synthesized and dubbed bands we are getting now.

Seriously loved your reaction. We all had the same reaction first time hearing them. Beyond musically talented, and so fun to watch. Please keep going! Check out Work Shit out, Rock you, Follow The light (with Cory Wong). You cannot go wrong.

You should react to the singers Jonah Nilsson’s solo song ”Coffee break” but then also the Lucas (of kpop fame) cooperation on the same song. Jonah slays it in both versions.

That was just JOY & AWE!!! THX!

I love me some dirty loops 🎶🔥✨💯work shit out and breakdown is incredible 🎶more dirty loops please 🥰music is life ! 🎶

You've been Loopified dude. Three superior musicians. They have so many great tracks. Keep going, you can't stop now. Here's some I really love: Breakdown (super slinky, different kind of groove, vocal gymnastics and the fills by the bass and drums are sweet) Follow The Light (with Cory Wong, guitar player with his horn section) Work Shit Out (a foray into their jazz chops, has a great Berimbau part that opens the song and also comes back in strong later, and a killer drum solo) I could list more but, anything they do is fire, straight up fire. They don't miss.

Absolutely, a great fusion of sound.

Ohh I hadn't seen this! But great to see your reaction! 👏🥰😄💜 Dirty Loops are AHHHMAZING!! Three fantastic musicians! All 3 are so good!

5:35 Yes, sir! Me too! 😀

Already said maybe but, welcome to dirty loops, i believe one of the best bands ever, more impresive... they sound the same Live!!!, if you want to blow your mind with the bass, search for the song **world on fire*** every single song from this guys is just a piece of art!! great reaction Bro, hope you keep reacting to them, cheers.

Welcome to the DL rabbit hole dude 😀👍. You're in for an inspirational treat 😀. And yes, they have been working together since kindergarten kind of.. U should check out Work Shit out with DL 👍

I saw them live in London yesterday, they said it was the first gig in London they had ever done. If they don't do another soon I'll go to another city to watch them again. The band was fabulous; they played this song and it was astonishing how close they get to the studio sound even when live in a converted cinema in Brixton. All three attended The Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where they met, so they are all classically trained, including Jonas as a singer. Henrik's bass is unreal (he was originally a pianist and will talk casually about the use of Dorian mode in his riffs) and Jonas voice is even better live, standing in front of you with these incredible runs. Henrik's ever growing bass stack is indeed a running joke with the band and fans, as Bassgroover suggested in a comment below. They used a pretty normal setup on stage, and had a forth player on some songs playing the horns parts on keyboards.

I generally don't comment on YT vids, but if you want your mind blown further, check out their "Work Shit Out" video. Epic. And supposedly, the "wall of bass amps" is a joke taken to the next level. He would never actually use or tour with that much, but it "looked funny". :) but... seriously... the WrkShtOut video will demonstrate how dedicated and schooled these gents are. It's insane. Thanks for the video.

Incredible rhythm section

great reaction!

That goddamn blue eyessss yes!!!!!

Wonderful reaction. It was joy to see you discovering Dirty Loops 👍😁 Best greetings from Germany

And this is one of there milder songs. These guys are beasts. Check out "Rock You" and "Work Shit Out"

Such an awesome reaction!😮

YEAH! Two of my musical worlds colliding, BTS reactor meets Dirty Loops! I adore both bands! You will never be disappointed in a Dirty Loops song. You can choose any song, but Rock You, Work Shit Out, Hit Me, Follow The Light, & Breakdown can get you started. You made my weekend! Jonah (vocals, keys), Henrik (bass), & Aron (drums) are three friends from Sweden who met in music school. And as you can see, they are all masters of their instruments. Side note: my other favorite group is the Beach Boys, so if ever you ever want to give me a heart attack, Jungkook, V, Jin, or Jimin, please sing some Beach Boys. Once on a v-live, V was playing "Please Let Me Wonder" in the background & I thought I had stepped into The Twilight Zone! Thanks for the reaction! 💜

Three Swedish guys that met at The Swedish Royal Academy of Music. ❤ David Foster is their mentor.

A: I'm a complete and utterly unabashed Dirty Loops FREAK! I spend so much time spreading the news of their genius - and I can not go a day without my dose of these (gotta be aliens) gents from Stockholm! "Next To You" is made to blow minds. I'd suggest "Work Shit Out" as well as "Coffee Break Is Over", for your next freak-out and still you'd only be getting a taste of their vast RU-vid catalog. Love to see people like you with a different musical bent go nuts over DL!! B: If Lotta Wiklund shows up in your comment section, be sure to read everything she wrote as she's likely thee authority on these guys.

👊🏼

Check out their version of Thriller. These guys make many musicians decide to just sell their instruments and get an office job.

Top drawer, 5 star, two thumbs up, 10 out of 10...dude you crushed this reaction. I love reactions for a lot of reasons but when I see one like your's here to a song I frankly worship. Well it just doesn't get much better. Very much looking forward to your future reactions. And based on the tone of this one, I feel safe in predicting we'll get more DL from you. Again just a wonderful, fun reaction. Oh and Henrik's wall of speakers is kind of a running-one of many-jokes in the Dirty Loops rabbit hole. Dive in man you will love the journey.

Great reaction! 😂 Love it!! Yeah, they mix a lot...like Toto and Queen revisited...a little Michael, a little Stevie and all the greatest instrumentalists through history! 🥹 But mostly they are having FUN! ❤❤❤

Awesome Reaction! if you want a Henrik Linder Solo "Follow the Light" and "World On Fire" are great ones to choose! :D hope you do more! :D

I was fortunate to see them live for a showcase in NYC many years ago… met all of them. They’re the real deal. Super chill guys and live they are AMAZING. Just as tight live as you hear them on the recordings.

Pure Gold!

I imagine Henrik (bass) playing as though he's jealous of the chemistry going on between Jonah (keys/vocals) and Aron (drums) and trying to get their attention and approval

This was awesome!! Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I am blown away.

You know, they literally just released a new song like... Yesterday. If you like what Henrik (bassist) is doing, you might uh... Wanna check that out.

Love this reaction! If you're looking for a bass solo you should react to "Follow the light" by Dirty Loops. It's absolutely insane :)

Yeah if you know anything about playing an instrument or music in general it'll take you about 30 seconds to realise that they're actually insane. As far as I know they're all studio musicians with pop or jazz degrees who were buddies before already and then started this band to have their own creative outlet. I can only describe their music like "imagine jazz and funk had a super talented baby and it wants to make pop music".

This is the best reaction I have seen to one of their songs!! You are totally there, hear it - see it! Welcome to the DL-world! So, so much great stuff here! 🙂Thanks! /New subscriber

Ok. That´s it. I hope you realize now you have to go this rabbit hole 😀 Or at least react to another Dirty Loops song very soon 😀 I love how each of them is a master musician - like fu..ing virtuoso - and they are teasing with their runs and fills, but keeping it in the pocket, grooving like crazy and still they are not just showing off, they're musical and the song is very approachable to everyone.

Jonah nilsson [dirty loops lead singer] does a collaboration with Steve vai who has a sick solo.

Check out follow the light for a Bass solo!

Great Reaction. You 'got it'. Dirty Loops is one of the easiest bands to react to. *Everything* is superb, and you owe it to your self to listen to *Everything.* Once you accept that, choosing the next song is simply choosing the order. 🤔 For *extra flavour,* react to Dirty loops featuring Cory Wong. Cory adds Prince/Nile Rogers quality rhythm guitar, _and_ brings a world class 5-piece horn section who 'kill it'. Their cover of "Thriller" is _delicious_ and "Follow the Light" _musical gastronomy._ 😋 Their other collaborations are instrumentals. Best Wishes. ☮ BTW - RU-vid brought me here. I'm a Dirty Loops fan, among several artists. You might enjoy _Jacob Collier - All Night Long (Official Video)_ this won him a Grammy. I got to Dirty Loops from Jacob. PS - You might enjoy veteran (1980s) Japanese Metal band _NINGEN ISU / Heartless Scat_ English lyrics are on subtitles.

Cracking me up dude!

Please watch their cover of Thriller together with Cory Wong. Would just love to see your reaction to that one!

4:50 think he is sponsored by EBS. Stanley Clark have a signature bass wah-wah with that brand.

Welcome to the world of Jazz- Fusion!!!! Welcome to the Rabbit Hole!

Hey John, that was one fire reaction! This track is seriously NUTS, and it showed in how you listened to it, I loved that ☺️ AI? Yes, they must be some kind of artificial or alien intelligence -these guys are just too much! Thanks again to CheeryBaby for getting us this reaction ;) And you’re right with the genres, Dirty Loops are the original genre bending trio. Not that it hasn’t been done before, but the Loops do it special. They once said that everything they’ve ever listened to comes into the mix, and this would be a lot :) Jonah grew up on classical music as a child, with both parents in choirs and taking him to rehearsals from the start of his life, more or less. He has been singing in choirs all of his younger life and also has got an aunt who is/was a singing coach. So I guess he would’ve had a few singing classes in his day…. And he’s been playing the piano/keys, first classical and later jazz piano. There is a Korg video of him explaining how he harmonies that last part of that song, and his thoughts behind it, and all I hear is Chopin, Rachmaninov and Jacob Collier :) And yeah, he’s got frickin beautiful blue eyes ☺️ Henrik? He’s a boss on the bass. There is no Dirty Loops song where he doesn’t shine, but if you want to hear him play exquisit bass solos, go to (wait this is going to be a long list ;) “World On Fire”, or “Follow The Light” or “Turbo”, or any of their earlier covers and songs, such as “Dirty”, “Circus”, “Roller Coaster” or “Just Dance”. Mindblowing stuff, all of it. Also don’t miss “Where’s The Beat” or “Sayonara Love”. But really, everything Henrik does anywhere is mindblowing. There are a lot of other collabs between him and others on YT, plus interviews. Check out the one with him on bassmagazine.com/Songified/Henrik Linder, where he talks about the making and the evolution of their songs from this LP, including ‘Next to You’. I thought it was super interesting… Aron, the drummer, is mindblowing too, and I totally agree with what you said about his style of playing. He also edits their videos and comes up with some of the lyrics, the songs, verses and choruses. And so much more. Him and Henrik used to stay behind at music college after close, just to jam together and practice pocket for hours. They’re the tightest team, those two. They first recorded their songs from this LP, then shot the videos. For this they had to re-learn all their riffs and runs and improvised sections. And they just like having fun and taking the Mickey out of people. Hence the walls of speakers :) and their often funny credits. Can’t wait for another Dirty Loops reaction from you! Like others are saying, “Work Shit Out” HAS to be next, it has the dopest drum solo! 🔥 Oh yeah and I’ve smashed that subscribe button ☺️
