To anyone complaining saying he's playing the banjo the wrong way, Jimi Hendrix played guitar the wrong way. He didn't know scales or chord progressions, he just knew what sounded good. Hell he even used a violin bow to play it once or twice. So stop bitching. The best at what they do often do it unconventionally.
Long as it sounds good, there IS no wrong way. Just play what your mind and heart and talent call for. This guy playing that 5-string with a guitar pick is actually pure genius. I am a banjo player myself and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
+Al Scarbrough any clue how he's got that 'jo tuned?
Spyder Webb From what I can tell, he's definitely got it tuned a key lower than what it normally would be. The truncated G string I don't see him plucking any so that string is out of the playing, so the main four strings are what he is using. The longer G string is definitely tuned to a lower key and the rest are the same. It shows this guy is a genius when it comes to tweaking it to just what he wants and needs. It also shows he has spent a lot of time tinkering and figuring out those tweaks and derivations from the normal. He is incredibly talented with that 'jo and it would be very interesting to just sit down and have him show me a thing or two. His skill level is MUCH above mine.
+Al Scarbrough Yep! His banjo skill level = Jedi
+MrNidogg actually this song is pretty easy to learn it is all on the b string and constantly repeats you could learn it in about a week not including hammer ons and pull offs
“The sound of the drums,” *Accordion noises intensify*
I love this
finland old song.lauri ankerman vapauden kaiho and ievan polkka
Same as the harmonica in The Piano Man lol
Still one of the greatest videos on CZcams.
F**k"in awesome! Turning an original classic upside down, reinventing it, and absolutely knocking it out of the park...... amazing guys
Good stuff! But then I realized this video was shot in ONE TAKE -- no editing. That's when I realized these guys are REALLY good. No fancy 32-track, autotune, computer effects laden video. Just plain old fashion ass kicking music.
+Jimmie Robinson ...and they sound so damn _tight_. They know what they're doing, and they're doing it good.
never caught that! you are absolutely right, man.
and not even in their native language!
brought on point. that's asskicking good music.
how it should be #fuckthisshitnowadays
+Jimmie Robinson GOOD GOLLY!! THEY MADE AC/DC squeal LIKE A PIG!!!!
The dude is shredding that fucking banjo like an absolute madman
Amen!
Not to mention the rest of the instruments.
Give em a couple bucks.
ManCave .Productions
Best comment EVER!
Talk about genetic deficiencies... :D
Would have never thought those two words belonged in the same sentence... that is banjo & shredding... fucking and madman, of course, are a given!
Talent is where you find it, not what the media tells you.
I'm definetly robbing your comment, so true ❤❤❤
As a lifelong fan of AC/DC , this is STILL one of the best covers EVER!!!
I can't stand their vocalist, so that makes this THE BEST VERSION EVER for me.
Made in Scotland from Girders !
There's a band called AC/DC doing a cover of this. It's pretty good
No whooshed? Good, just making sure.
ok that was a good one
Australian band AC/DC own this song... this band just attempted to do a poor copy of the song..which they did
@@pegasusgalaxy68
/wooosh
Never really liked them. I think that is a poor cover... :P
"Let's start a band"
"I have an anvil and spoons"
"Done"
and it rolls hard.
🤣🤣🤣
Don’t forget the banjo
A mower too!
Spoons are great!
That Banjo Player Makes That Instrument Sing On Its Own. Y'all Are Awesome ❤
Real deal Mr McGill those guys are slicker than a baloney sandwich with mayonnaise in hot weather. And yes that fellow makes the banjo strings sing He's the Hendrix of bluegill covers of rock and I'm of my other favorite banjo pickers who is a artist herself say he does thing with a banjo she can't touch her name is Mary Ann but everyone else knows her as Mean Mary and her fast banjo. I love the bass player also the way he'll change between numbers from gut to bull bass shows how versatile he is. Hell their all talented and I'd love to get asked to set down and jam for a bit.
9 years passed since this uploaded here and only now I've discovered 😢 Can write here a billions of nice words but I think only saying this will be enough; this is what exactly music means..Best sounds in harmony giving you the utter pleasure possible for the brain and soul..Thanks guys..
"a rock solo would sound awful on accordion"
"hold my tractor"
HA HA HA HA HA HA Hold my Tractor LMFAO Dude you made my day hahaha
Dude that is gold, off work today due to feeling shit and that's made me laugh and feel a shit tonne better.
Get that man a drink!
E Küpçük hold my tractor 😂😂👌🏻
Hold my moonshine
hahaha ,hold my tractor, thats funny right enough Hahaha :-)
I'm an American Hillbilly and these Fins nailed it. Well done gentlemen.
Suomalaiset juntit lol
As a Hillbilly as well, I agree@@rasmuskorhonen748
I'm an Aussie and this all the perfect blend 🤘🙏
It's not about where you where born or even raised that kinda music is strictly from the soul. And evidently those guys have all got a extra 1 or 2 .
I’m Chilean and I actually thought they were born and raised Southerners the first time I saw this video 😂
I new these guys were gonna rock it when the accordion player, possibly drunk, showed up late on a field mower, and the banjo player started strumming. Wonderful cover.
Did he show up late or as planned by the band?
This is absolutely the best COVER of a song Ive ever heard!!! These guys KICK ASS!!!!
Teacher: What Instrument do you play?
Me: The Anvil
Teacher: and what about you?
me: tongs
Teacher: Do you at least play an instrument?
Me: Yeah kinda
Teacher: What do you do?
Me: I play the spoons
It this situation it would just be sorted under "percussion"
My SporK
I play an antique hand mixer sometimes...
I clicked on this video, not knowing what to expect. Opening scene: a Massey Ferguson, a man comes in on a Stiga lawnmover. I start fearing for the worst. Someone starts playing the banjo - superbly. The singer strikes an anvil. I start tapping my feel. I like where it's going. The accordion comes on. I'm grinning and nodding my head. So great!
exactly my thoughts friend haha
IamMagPie thanks for the play by play 🙄
IamMagPie this aint music its just shit
IamMagPie as I was reading your comment I started doing it all too
really great!
As a bluegrass player from 1969 till 2003,i have to say these guys are the bomb!!!!!AC/DC would give this their stamp of approval.
Hope so !
What you have is the purest form of Music. Something we did not realize we missed till now.
"So what do you do in the band?"
"I play the anvil."
“I’m on the spoons”!
Ya that’s funny how they came up with it😂
Dibs on the lawnmower.
thats cool i play the sink
Plot twist..the anvil played the whole squad 😅
When a dude with an accordion rolls up on a lawnmower, you know shit is about to get real!
Damn right👍👍
🤣😂🤣
You ain't lyin
Totally serious stuff 'bout to come down ❤👀
especialy when he has a hat with what looks like a giant fur penis
This Aussie thinks this is one of the best covers of this song ever.
They add their own inimitable style and that just makes it perfect.
The more I see of the Finns, the more I like them.
I can’t imagine Brian Johnson ever saying, “And this is the part where the Accordion comes in”, but it’s brilliant! 🤘🏻😁👍🏻
7 years later and it’s not getting old!
No doubt man!!!!
oj tak tatuśku
8 years too ;)
It’s fu*kin class 😁👌🏻
8 yrs, now still good. lol love this.
Dadgummit man. That bass player and banjo player are absolutely killing it.
Yes! They are! I play 5-string banjo and I am blown away by this guy. /bows before the guy and his banjo while saying 'I'm not worthy' LOL
+9milnoob Amen bro :D
ja ja ja ja ja ja ja muy buena
+9milnoob And add that accordion solo at 2:36 to that, amazing!
and the spoons
As a dark-skinned American, I became a Hippie in the 70s; but I fell in love with Bluegrass while locked up in the 90s, unable to get a clear reception on a AM radio. It started on Sunday: good preaching, good gospel music... but apart from the normal music, they were jammin' with a lot of RNB, HipHop and Rock! I was blown away with the sound, as well as with the music itself. I was like... 'what have I been missing...' and claimed to be a musician. Ya'll need to get into Bluegrass, baby! Peace
I can visualize your writing like a scene of some movie😁
Every now and then I need to hear this version...still great
This is insane, a banjo, accordion, mandolin to play this song. What an amazing performance. Great talent and long live AC DC.
Eric Miranda Don't forget their bull fiddle and spoons
This is not accordion. This is Russian bayan
Nice to know, another alias of this instrument.
And don't forget the anvil!
Don't forget the anvil
that anvil tho !!!!!! ding ding lol LOVE IT !!!!
They probably use an electric anvil on tour. Much more portable.
Hahahahhaha probally
prob-hill-billy
n. sn dmf
Might accidentally drop it on someone's head
I too am just amazed by this band and this song! I live in Rural Southern Virginia in the United States and when this is played at local festivals/dances everyone just stops and starts dancing! Thank you so much!
Holy crap….love it! I’m a longtime NYC musician who moved to the surrounding Nashville area and I’ve seen some amazing players.
This drummer has otherworldish sense of timing.Amazing
good musical sense
Yeah his talent on the spoons is incredible
Français
The joys of music, especially if blessed with perfect pitch/ timing etc
You mean the guy playing te spoons?
I come from Bum Fukk Middle of Nowhere Broken Hill, Australia, mining giant BHP homeland and there has never been a stronger current of AC/DC running through our veins thanks to you boys. What a breath of fresh air this is to our souls. Thankyou from the bottom of our pit and hearts.
Purely belted, loud and proud.
You jammy git.
Wasnt mad max filmed around that area ?,
I have watched this video 40 times and i can't stop. You guys are just too cool.
I just found a diamond in the form of music. The music is incredible and you managed to make it even more incredible
The amount of talent is unreal
YES!!! Fascinating. Amazing entertainers.

@@garrchristopher3950 not really it's just thunderstruck easy to play

Same here))))
This is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.
When the moon shine hits just right
Hell ya
Ye
Nice comment brother😂👌
Drinking moonshine rn 😂😂
Darn tootin rootin
There is something about the one guy riding in on the lawnmower for the intro that seems especially appropriate: the tone of the running engine and sound of the engine cut-off perfectly fit the video/song, sonically.
I live in the country and it’s an everyday sight to see someone driving a lawnmower down the road, mainly the ones with multiple DWIs. Also it’s an Amish area so buggies and tractors. Great place to live.
Me gurta la música
'Course
Intro favorite part!
Had to feed the live stock and was running late in my mind😎 I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness
Это здорово, вы большие молодцы, а без ложного стеснения просто красавцы.
Fellow Finn here. They are jamming!!!
"So how do you plan to do the solo."
"Well I have my accordion."
This is the greatest cover ever made.
THIS IS DA BEST! Been listening to it for years & I just adore this band!!!!!!!!
The best cover on youtube? Yes, yes it is.
Me: I need to go to bed
CZcams: Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's 2:08AM here, I know what you mean lol 😂
7 in the morring lmao on a sunday should go to sleep :O
Marcus Hillerström happened again last night lol
I've seen slayer, raining pigs, and a washing machine drum cover
BEAR productions but have you seen a song played entirely on melons?
''what do you play?"
"oh i play the mandolin and the anvil"
And the anvil.
and the spoons
James Tessman I play the spoons and the drums
I play with myself....Guitar! that is! I have no band. You for surely didn't think I meant!?...Anyhow....These guys sounded great. This is a very creative alternative to bluegrass. And that's coming from a Kentuckian that knows bluegrass.
Iam anvil worker xD
Soy de Colombia y amé está interpretación, muy buen trabajo 🔥
Sorry guys, AC/DC won't be able to come play.
Someguy: No problem, I bring my cousins.
😂😂😂

Im pretty sure AC/DC does a cover for this song. These boys killed it 🙌🏽
XD YES!!!
I think i might've heard of them before.
best comment ever
😂
🤣
This will never get old
Outstanding guys 👏💥
This is what you call real musicians....no fancy effects....raw, bags of fun....and a shit load of talent! Just Wow!
:-)
Once you master playing the anvil the world is yours.
NEED MORE ANVIL!!!
I've just brought an anvil
Someone needs to make a band made out of only modified anvils
Bro that’s like the thing from Minecraft!😂😂
4 years of idiophone school
edit: he broke every triangle he ever had
Okay, I’m officially impressed! 👏🏻
"Oh, what instrument do you play?"
"The Anvil."
hahahahahahahaha
anvil +anvil+anvil +anvil=anvil
@@samdavoy5735 I play the lawn mower
ilmarinen is proud
What are anlivs
nearly a decade later and these guys still blow my mind ..
ikr xd
Seriously that banjo player is on a new level.
@@shadowprince4482saw him live tonight, guy is an absolute living legend
It's official has been a decade
Almost a decade later and I still can't get enough of this song.
I don't want to swear but this is unF*&king Believeable! LOVE IT!!😀Keep it going!
I am impressed. They both stayed true to the original, and yet made it their own at the same time. Excellent sound, well done.
Absolutely Hans
Certainly some musical talent in that group !

⬆️
That's gotta be one of the hardest working banjo players I've ever seen.
I KNOW RIGHT??
Dude on the upright bass is no slouch either. 👍
As an ex-Scruggs-style banjo picker (ex, due to arthritis), I can verify that flat-picking a banjo that well and that fast is seriously hard.
Fingers flying on the banjo ! YES!
He can deff cut a shine 😮😊
A great rendition of an Australian classic.
God bless America.
Why America?
I LOVE these guys! ❤
Making rhythm with the spoons. Epic. The sound of the banjo is really awesome
Yes! and a wrench on an anvil to top it off.
Man with spoons is awesome 😀
SpoonMan come together with your hands
That boy wearing out that banjo
Me encanta muy bueno el bajo me volo la cabeza sin contar el que usa las cuchara EPICO
-I bet you cant play thunderstruck on a benjo-
Redneck: "Hold my beer"
Peter Peter WHAHAHAHA TRUE
Finnish men, they have sisu
Peter Peter
right...lol😂
You mean hold my moonshine
AC/DC would be proud of these guys. Their cover was amazing!
I wish I could give a video more than one thumbs up.
Best anvil playing I've ever heard.
You can really tell he's mastered it.
Tried myself once, much harder than it looks!
Thats just fucking country...
@@bigpp7903 That good music
Dang, my anvil is so out of tune
The accordian is sic. I bet AC/DC never imagined this.

I enjoyed this.
Brilliant. As ever. greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
The guy on the spoons is killing it, love it!
id love to put turdeaus head on that anvil just when he strikes one and two
Dude you like him? You Really, really, really need to checkout the spoon lady
1:09 “The sound of the drums”
*accordion starts playing*
Drum guy was busy lol
Couldn't stop laughing.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thats a concertina though
Not to be rude, but that's definitely not a concerina
My dad and I never really could connect, but I'll never forget being in the car with him once when AC/DC came on and I started singing just like Brian Johnson, which isn't easy but I guess I had a talent for it and my dad said "you sound just like him. That was pretty good". which is like really high praise for him.
Anyway, nice cover.
« We have AC/DC at home » THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE IT
Cannot believe I am 8 years late to this. Absolutely incredible. Idk what blows my mind more, the very existence of this cover or just how damn good it is
I stumbled on this video a few months back. I love blue grass music. Love how these guys did this song
Glad you found it.
Yeh yeh 🪕💪🏻🐾
Me too
Damn. I'm right behind you. This is just friggin awesome.
No way.
Not in a million years would I have thought that I'd be blown away by how you played the song.
I mean come on; the choice of instruments played - an anvil, spoons, mandolin, banjo, accordion, and bass - gave me pause.
This is flippin' awesome!!!!!
don't forget the anvil
@@ktwashere5637he Said anvil
Fukking anvil oh yeah
Well done gentlemen, that was entertaining. You all appear to be masters of your various instruments, a feat on its own. But to execute a performance like that was memorable. Thank you. Australia
pure AWEsOME
Best ever version of this song!! :)
TRUE!
The Guy playing the drums and 'spoons' is fucking awesome!
You mean Kventzu Tarrantinonen? yeah he rocks.
That's Quentin Tarantino.
search artis spoonman
Abbey the spoon lady plays a mean set of spoons too. "Angels in Heaven" with Chris Rodrigues.
Love this version. So good
Can't believe I've watching this for 9 years
"You can't do that on a banjo...."
"Hold my beer."
I agree, that speed is just showing off. I'm so impressed! I can do like half that speed (on a regular guitar) and it gets really difficult, really fast.
More like "hold my moonshine" 😂
Na, man it was "let me finish this jug..."
Shit hot
Steven White bull shit you want to make a ber
Are you kiding me? THIS IS INCREDIBLE I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT-

I'm only 16 and also love AC/DC, but this is an amazing cover and I like
What’s your favorite instrument?
*the anvil*
Solo spoons
Welcome to the wonderful world of percussion. Where anything you can hit is an instrument.
The fuckin’ anvil, of course.
The Anvil LOL 🤣🤣
Anvil + spoon combination. Greatest pairing since pb and j
Love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love. Let's go.
I like how they all FEELING IT!!!
Bro. This is legendary.. God one of his angel’s banjos to that good man and said, “Go forth and Rock in my name,” and rock he did.
That guy on the banjo is absolutely insane!
PURE ENTERTAINMENT...... THESE GUYS ARE INSANELY TALENTED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Has the pleasure of seeing these guys live tonight. Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!
I am in awe! You took a classic AC/DC song, and rocked it with spoons, an anvil an accordion and a banjo! Rock on!
Yep, them Aussie spoons n anvil really does it! An amazing Aussie anthem song. Steve'n'Seagulls could be an amazing Aussie band even when they do play our anthem song in the American Bluegrass style! 😁😂😍
@@ClissaT Steve 'n' Seagulls is a Finnish country band, playing bluegrass versions of well-known hard rock and metal songs. The band became known in the summer of 2014 with the publication of videos on CZcams. Especially popular was the band's version of "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC, which has over 130 million views on CZcams.
Absolutely mental ! Love it to bits ! What a take on a rock classic with literally bedknobs and broomsticks 🤣
I have an anvil in my shop. I never thought of playin it!
Ya But Sabaton uses Tanks grenades, planes lol
I did not know what to expect...but I’ve gotta say I’m truly impressed.
Same here I'm an Aussie and thought OK this is going to crap but I was blown away
