- Our cover of "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago...but with Kazoos, because our studio is too small for horns.

Drummer who sings and play keyboards amazingly. Guitarist who sings, plays bass and keys amazingly. Singer who plays keys and bass amazingly. Tall person who plays kazoo with enthusiasm. Other musicians who all do their thing amazingly when they are involved.
This is one bunch of amazingly talented individuals making one amazingly coherent and talented unit. Wow! Great to know that something that
like this exists... as it’s all about the music and the joy it brings. Great stuff guys:)
my thoughts exactly they are so talented, and I can not stop watching them..
kelvynification
Tall Person can also sing very well ......
“With enthusiasm” lol. Apt description... he is the x-factor... Vincent Price when needed, kazoo aficionado when needed, wind, water... etc
Andy also plays bass and guitar and just about anything else you can name
Moar Kazooooooooo! 🔥🔥🔥💯
Random middle of the night click on a song I like....rewarded with awesomeness!!! Just. Plain. Awesomeness. 👍
How did you not get lost in the Geek hole?
You guys got it right, music should be joyous, fun and harmonious and that's what I saw!!! Bravo!!!
Epic when the kazoos kick in. Brilliant stuff and so much fun being had
terrific fun! laughed my tail off when the "horns" started!
So joyful! Great job, everyone. Those guitar solos were smokin'!
Sometimes we take life too seriously, including music. This was the most fun I have had watching a music vid in a very long time. Love the energy of the group and the mastery of their instruments is awesome. I felt like I was in the room with them as they laughed, talked and were having a fun time. Whoever said that a kazoo could not be used in rock music, very innovative. Thank you for putting this up for all to see. Loved this!
Love how she sings excellent harmonies with the drummer
This is just a bunch of musicians just having some fun together and I love every second of it
This is the first time I have seen the Band Geeks and this blew me away. It is my era of music and my older brother sent it to me. You guys tore it up and I have to say that the vocals were amazing and the guitarist is a monster. Well done!
Try Leonid and friends
@@Music10161 Yes. They do an amazing version of this and tons of other Chicago. Terry Kath was a monster. Sergey, the now former guitarist from Leonid and Friends practically channels Kath on this one.
Band Geeks just having fun here, but their YES covers (in particular) are so damn good.
And they’re just f-ing around here.
Absolutely adore it !!!!
Great work all around! GREAT guitar work
JEEESUS just when i thought i could come o grips with Andy's talent you throw this at me
Great guitar solos! Terry Kath would approve!
Was getting ready to leave the same comment , then I saw Yours'
When I was in high school, I always thought that was the best guitar solo in the universe at the time, and there have been very few of the same quality over the years. It was just one of those things, it was even almost a fluke that a guitar solo of that magnitude could even be recorded and captured and then even released on a single, which I bought within 30 minutes of me hearing the song on the radio...
Thinking James Pankow would DIFFER
"KAZOOS"???
(I expected more from you)
HOW ABOUT ROOM for 1 KEYBOARDIST??
@@williamroark Who cares what he thinks? Wasn't he the one who bashed Danny Seraphine? I thought I read that Terry Kath was about over playing music with a horn section before his accident, and was contemplating moving on.
This is SO GREAT !! Have watched it many times. I loved this song when it came out and you folks do it total justice. The drummer sang the daylights out of it ! But then all four of you are great singers. Thanks so much for sharing with the great unwashed !
Amazing playing all around.Super song .The guitar work stands out so well !
One of the best raining saturdays in Brazil in the last weeks listening and enjoing you videos. Congrats!!!!!!!!
Alan killed it! Great job all around.
If everyone watched this to start their day the world would be a happier place.
Andy did a fantastic job the vocals! Love watching your videos. Keep up the fantastic, fun videos. Thanks!
Freaking awesome lead guitar !!!!! Damn !! Really tight band , you guys are the schizz!
That was freaking awesome!
I nearly peed myself when I saw the kazoos. I think it's fantastic that y'all are playing and having a good time. We didn't have youtube in the late 70's. My friends and I would just record our antics on a reel to reel and monkey with the speed. By the way, in a certain way, the kazoos work. Very creative
I hear ya, same here but was the 80's and we used 4-track :) Those were good days...
All of you are super talented - the drummer even more so! Blown away!
I love how much fun you guys have in these videos
Wow Andy has an amazing voice! Ann Marie did awesome also. Richie, I’ve always been been a huge Terry Kath fan and even though you faked through some of solos, you played some absolutely sick solos!
Listened to the whole thing, still waiting for the mangling part, this was outstanding, looks like y'all were having a blast too, would love to see y'all live!
Great version guys, I love Andy's work on this one.
The kazoo section is downright legendary! Hot damn guys! Mind blown! The late great Terry Kath would be proud of Richie's guitar parts!
Best kazoo section ever!
LOL Thanks
Great guitar solo. Honors without mimicking. Fun, fun, fun version of this classic song. And now I must be off to the kazoo store.
An old favorite , your take on it really put a smile on my face! I`m now ready to face the day.Thanks.
You should really let Andy sing some more! He's got a great voice. Great job, guys.
I can't even play lead guitar like that in my dreams! That's awesome! The kazoos obviously great, and that last note... indescribably incredible!
That was simply wonderful!! Love it!
Y’all don’t know how much I love this !!!!!!!!
This totally rocks!!!! Serious yet fun. Nice job guys.
God this was fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome guitar solo! Nailed it!
You guys are so entertaining I love all your videos
An awesome improvised version of the Chicago classic, who needs the horns section
You're hilarious guys!
...and Andy sings too??? Awesome! Richie you did Terry Kath total justice. Nice job. And loved seeing u guys (BOC) in Mt Dora, FL a few months ago. Great job Band Geeks!!
Absolutely awesome 👏
Definitely tight performance..... terry kath is definitely smiling on that solo...in awe as always at your musicianship and so not an easy piece
LOVE IT!!
great band with fantastic brass section! all the best to you from germany! thank you!
4:08: "Can I play a little bit?"Yes indeed!!
Holy shit YES YOU CAN....just effing awesome
Andy is really good on drums wow. haven't seen this one before
greate dudesI Love the humor of it! nice choice of covers you chose! And good preformencs! Keep it up love from Sweden!
Thanks for melting my face.
That is great fun - love it. Only took me 5 years to find it.
Made my day
All that was missing was someone with a duckcall. Awesome guys!
The kazoo in the harmonica holder is professionalism at its finest. And where is the “ I didn’t know Boris Johnson could sing” comment?
Amazing lead guitar work!
Top shelf mangling. it doesn't get any better.
How many guitarists can do justice to the immortal solo by the great, underrated Terry Kath? Well, the great, underrated Richie Castellano for one. By the way, is there anything Andy can't play or do?
Wait till you see him on standup bass!😳
Fricken AWESOME!!!!
OMG!...Excellent!
The kazoo section is tight af
Heyy you guys I hear you every day Im your fann number one from mexico and all over congratulations God bless
Absolutely magnificent 🤣🤣👏👏
Anyone else get tingles at 4:00 when she sings that high note. Holy shit on a stick she’s good!!
Absolutely!!! She definitely pushed the amp to 11.
This is awesome :) Kudos, people!
Wow this chorus is fantastic
Love that song- long time -no hear- the kazoos rock the shit out of it!!!
Good harmonies and Peter Ceteresque vocals!
Cool, being an old Chicagoan from the South side, Terry was great!
You four sure did have a lot of fun playing this classic Chicago piece. Richie I think you are awesome, you can play the heck out of Terry Kath's guitar riff but need a song sheet for Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart club. This song I have got to play again because it was really well done even the Kazoo's in place of the Sax/Trombone/Trumpet. Killer!
Execellent guitar work.............
wow! I really enjoyed that. I have seen Chicago several times in concert...... they ain't got nothin on you.
In 1970 i drove from New Orleans to Los angles with an 80 minute 8 track of Chicago 2. and I learned and hummed along with every horn note of 25 or 6 to 4. Guys this makes all of that time in the car WORTH IT!!!! 70, and still rockin"
IDKM but that was GREAT. The kazoos with Richies great guitar work. A long time fan of Chicago and RR music well:::::you guys are in my current favs.
Brilliant!
Kazoos are AWESOME 😎 IDEA 💡💡💡
i would pay to see these folks live, hang with them. Is there anything better than jamming with family / friends!
New fan here in NorCal! cheers!

Well played music with humor! A++
Ridiculously good.....so good....ont like the kazzooooooos BUT you guys...and girl are hyper talented...congrats

Holy freaking cow guys and gal! Bad ass!
Super mooper !!! Very good !!!! :)

heaven and hell, my favorite
I could not sleep a few nights ago and came across one of your videos (just the two of us). After listening to it I could not stop watching probably 50 more. You guys kill it every time !!! How / where can I see one of your performances in person?
Thanks!!!!
Yep.. what he said.
Even fooling around they sound awesome
EPIC!
"can I play a bit", loved that!! You need to do a behind the scenes video introducing the band member and a "Rig Rundown" on your little studio that you do all this in. You make great video's and I would love to see all the gear. Super job!
they do every cover justice
Phenomenal
Oh - those harmonies!!!
love the horn section...ha ha but music and band are awesome
Not easy..... Great job
I can't get enough
Is there anything you all can't play? I don't think so. You guys rock. :)
Kazoo's!!! Brilliant!!
