Guys we've never heard Bob Dylan so we didn't realize this was a cover! Whoops! We'll have to try again soon!

The vocals on this cover definitely lacks some of the edge of Dylan's vocals and make the complex lyrics more one-dimensional, which often happens with Dylan covers.

Defo not Bob! Try Lay lady lay, tangled up in blue or hurricane. Hurricane got an interesting back story too.

Bob Dylan is a continent, most songwriters are barely zip codes.

This isn't Bob Dylan, it's someone covering the song. Anyway, listen to Tangled Up in Blue

Please do a reaction to the original because Bob Dylan is one of the greatest song writers ever. His lyrics are phenomenal.

This is not Bob Dylan but they recently uploaded loads of his music on his own channel

I'd recommend "Its Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" by Dylan. It really shows off his lyrical genius.

Bob has more bars than most rappers these days and delivery and style that bridges folk music, poetry and rap. Try Subterranean Homesick Blues :)

This cover version is missing a lot of what made the original so great, I'm sad that your first listen was a watered down version of the real song

Try jimi hendrix's cover of this song. It's on an album called the Monterey pop festival.

"Tangled up in Blue" is one of my personal fave Dylan tunes

The song is about a woman called edie Sedgwick. Her grandfather invented the elevator Sedgwick elevators. But she was a model and actress and heroine addict. Long story tragic.

Need to do the real version. That's not Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan in my opinion is the best writer of all time, he wrote for pretty much every artist, Check out Masters Of War is about the Military Industrial Complex 👌🔥

Covering this song is like trying to paint a Sistine Chapel ceiling in an apartment.

Brad, you like to analyze the lyrics to songs -- this is your man! Check out Desolation Row, Subterranean Homesick Blues, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, Positively 4th St., Simple Twist of Fate, Not Dark Yet ... there are so many...

This isn’t Bob Dylan, it’s a cover

That's no dylan though 😂😂😂😭😭

Sounds like an imitation of Dylan.

You guys should react to… Bob Dylan - Hurricane 🎸🤘

This is Not Bob Dylan! It's a Real Sad Impersonation! Sorry, but the Truth. So you guys Still haven't reacted to Bob, the Greatest Lyricist, song writer, poet ever. 🤔😎

When the music started I was thinking, "Wow, either this sounds really different through headphones, or they remastered it and drastically changed it". Then the vocals started...No idea who this is, and while he has a better voice than Dylan, it doesn't have the soul.

This is not Bob!

Uhh, what? This is some kind of jacked up version of this song

In December of 1965, I had just been in Merchant Seamans School for about 1 month, We lived in a dormitory in Jersey City, and our school was in Brooklyn, The school had us take a Christmas vacation, one of my friends in school, lived in the Village. I didn’t want to go home, to Pittsburgh for the next ten days, I asked him to take me over to the City. As I walked out of the PATH on to 6th Ave, a long haired what I assumed was a college student (Backpack, and books strapped down behind him on the fender seat) I knew this was my new home. I lived off and on in the village when I wasn’t on a ship, in fact the whole spring and summer of 1966, I lived on Greenwich Ave on the West Side. All that summer, I saw little rich kids some even turned their shirts inside out, many wearing wigs, coming to the Village to hang out, smoke weed, many gathered in Washington Square where little clicks of them gathered. Guys with kittens on their shoulders, dressed in Nehrus walking around saying things like “Cool”, “Grovey” and other cliches, and these young girls that came from the upper class and high middle class suburbs, fell for their BS, many of these girls were runaways. They would dump one guy and go with the next for the kicks he could provide. These girls were doing amphetamines and dex’s. After awhile this all caught up with them, many families disowned them, and yes they had to learn to live on the streets and learn to survive. Dylan saw this in those days. Listen to ‘Positively 4th Street’ (4th street ran right near Washington Square Park) Also Watch the Animated film of ‘Fritz the Cat’, the Village scene in the movie was pretty much like that.

GUYS!!!! NOOO!!! This isnt Bob Dylan, its some janky cover, haha, check out the original if you can, Bob has bars like you wouldnt believe, a truly gifted magical poet genius!

Since we're on the topic of Dylan and covers, you absolutely need to check out Hendrix's cover of All Along the Watchtower; Dylan's version is great, too, but Jimi really took that song and made it his own.

If you think this had energy you should listen to the real Bob Dylan singing it. This sounds like a soulless robot singing to a metronome. The real one is REALLY savage. The words are still powerful. You should know that Bob Dylan's lyrics are considered real poetry and he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature for his lifetime achievement.

you should delete this, it's obviously not him

Concerning the context of this song, there's an old saying that goes "A rolling stone gathers no moss". So a literal translation could be that nothing good or bad sticks or attaches itself to anything (or anyone) that is always moving. He's talking about a woman who spent her time traversing the socialite ladder trying to 'be somebody' ended up being a nobody. Hence the line "You're invisible now, you've got no secrets to reveal". Also, every line in the chorus kind of confirms the sentiment. Dylan is an incredibly deep poet and songwriter. By the way, his real name is Bob Zimmerman and changed it to honor his favorite author Dylan Thomas.

This was a huge breakthrough in the day when this got air time. Bob Dylan is one of the greatest song writers of our generation. Dylan based the lyrics on a short story he had written about a debutante Edie Sedgwick who becomes a loner when she falls out of high society. She ran with Andy Warhol who used her. According to this theory, the song includes some fanged, accusatory lines about Warhol and the way he mistreated the girl: Ain't it hard when you discover that He really wasn't where it's at After he took from you everything he could steal Edie and Dylan also had a brief affair before he married Sarah Lowndes. The lyrics that made it into the song are only a small part of what was in the story. He has another version on his "Self Portrait" Album.

Brad coming through with the lyric attention regarding being a girl reference in the song at the first discussion I think...but Lex is awesome bopping around not paying attention much to lyrics but just grooving to the music as usual :). Though sometimes she seems to be trying more it seems, I don't really care, but seen others talk about it, the music is most important however it hits you and if the music is good enough on its own I totally get not paying much attention to anything else like watching the thing on your screen showing whatever (like video or lyrics)..this was my first time actually listening to the whole song, and I have rarely even heard bits of it before this...that's one of the bonuses for us viewers, stuff like discovering lyrics we realize we didn't actually know because of the lyric ones y'all do that we were too lazy to look up on our own, and discovering some different kinds of music we should've heard before now like you two...k done, sorry for longass comments on these past few vids :) Holy crap right before I hit the button I saw the pinned msg lol and I also had no idea it wasn't actually BD lol, anywho my comments stand imo I think and I still got to hear all the lyrics and stuff even if it was a cover

Brad mate this is one of the most famous of the song poets, as you appear to resonate more with words than music, you will find a lot of depth in Dylans music, social commentary, political, personal ... always with passion, often rawness with his roots in the old folk troubadours. Dylan left his pure acoustic sixties work behind in the 70's hope you enjoy matey ! ... i have never heard this exact version, is it a cover ?

Bob Dylan should have been made the Poet Laureate of the US. He is that great.

Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature, becoming the first songwriter to win the prestigious award. The 75-year-old rock legend received the prize "for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".

Dylan's voice is a very unique instrument and the original is something you have to hear.

Not scratchy enough to be Bob Dylan... hope you take the chance to listen to the real thing!! I was excited for your reaction to his unique voice

Wait, they're right, this isn't Bob. I thought this was a live version because he's so good live. Remember, Bob was Hendrix's favorite artist and smoked The Beatles their first joint.

Bob Dylan is one of the most prolific song writers of all time… you should definitely do more of his stuff. He has influenced so many artists and has written for many more…. Try “Blowin in the wind”

Dylan was a hippie in a world of hippie's and had a girl who ran off with another dude who just used her. This song points out how he saw that she got dumped on and used while she became homeless and wasted. Obviously he was hurt and abandoned by the one he loved.

Bob Dylan is the greatest songwriter of all time and the most covered and the the most influential. This song is where Rolling Stone magazine got it's name. His power is unparalleled. There's a book of his lyrics in the White House library.

The best cover of this song was done by Hendrix at Monterey.

That isn't Bob Dylan. But even if it was, it's funny that the song that revitalized his career (for himself), was a song about how much he hated the literal 'trappings' of his own success, and how it made him long for a kind of 'freedom.'

This was a huge let down, not your fault you didn't know but still a let down, I was excited for this one. This deserves multiple Bob Dylan reactions to make up for it 😁

New Sub. Love y'alls content so far! Y'alls commentary and reactions are genuine and honest...refreshing! Can't believe I'm posting on a Dylan song (Not a huge fan of his)...but Hurricane! That's, imho, his best song! Keep up the great content guys! 🍻

No point in me mentioning what every body else has already told you loads of times... Just a wee heads up tho, trying to find or upload Bob Dylan content on here might be extremely tricky. He is/was 1 of the worst for copyright strictness. At one time you couldn't find most of his music on here at all, it was all just covers or tribute acts. Even his official YT channel had a limited amount of content... I'm not so sure how things are now with him tho, because I have noticed things seeming to be a bit more relaxed surrounding his stuff. Sure I heard at some point he sold all the rights to his work but, so that might be why.

This song is supposedly about Edie Sedgwick. She had a short but tremulous relationship with Dylan. He wrote 5 songs about her. She also inspired the Velvet Underground’s son Femme Fetale. She died of an overdose at 28. Her life was really tragic and filled with abuse.

Nearly drove me crazy trying to figure out what version this was before realizing it wasn't Dylan

Jimi Hendrix did a great version of this song too. This guys voice doesn't sound like Bob, but wasn't bad.

You should do Dylan's original. Dylan's version has SO MUCH clearer audio and better production all around, despite being recorded in 1965. Dylan's band was also tops in this era. This cover sounds indistinct and muddy, and it lacks the sharp edges of the original. It's very bassy and compressed, and there's practically no feelings involved. BTW, this song - "Like A Rolling Stone" - is in my opinion the first modern rock song. This can be debated, but it's close to the center of an inflection point. Starting this year, 1965, rock begins making a big evolution which completes in 1967. The difference between 1964 music and 1968 music is huge. If you guys listen to enough music around this period, I'm sure you'll see the change. The early rock from before 1965 is mostly rockabilly and bubblegum pop, centered on teen romances, new dances, and other fads. "Surfin' USA," "Locomotion," "The Twist," etc. are prime examples of this era of early rock. Modern rock starts incorporating more serious adult themes and borrowing from different genres (like folk) approximately with Dylan's song. Off the top of my head, other songs showing the shift in rock in 1965 include "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and "Help!" by the Beatles. "Satisfaction" is almost like a punk song from way before punk, and "Help!" is about a person who's feeling depressed. IMO, those two songs sound dated, while "Like A Rolling Stone" sounds like it could have been made yesterday.

I was shocked to see you two react to Bob Dylan bc he is VERY WELL KNOWN to fight copyright and usage of his material. This sounds like a very good cover version, which IMO, some introduction to Dylan is better than no Dylan. He's lyrically one of the best to ever write. By far one of my favorite musicians. Next song to explore would be *The Hurricane.*

At MLK'S Million Man March, he only invited one white musician: Bob Dylan. Black Panthers went to his concerts.

Brad and Lex, Bob Dylan is a prolific musical poet, and one of the biggest influences on the direction of music in the 60's and beyond. Though this video isn't Bob Dylan, please take the journey. He has hundreds of great songs. Start with his early stuff and enjoy how he changed as an artist.

damn I was excited for this. Oh well plenty more of his catalogue you can check out.

Bob Dylan is still at it. Coming to Seattle June 1st&2nd 2022.

So I just shazammed this because I didn’t think it was bob either however, Shazam is coming up as bob dylan? I’m wondering if this is a different bob recording it’s definitely not the 1965 version

Bob Dylan's song "Hard Rain Gonna Fall" won the Nobel prize for literature. It's on YouTub.

Hurricane, Shelter From The Storm, and Gotta Serve Somebody are some great Bob Dylan songs

I feel bad for you guys and the lack of understanding from the one's watching your channel. I have never seen y'all get so many dislikes over the fact that you didn't know it wasn't him. Literally no need for douche activity because two people who didn't know....DIDN'T KNOW. You guys picked a good version to react to and I enjoyed it.

It's about a girl. Back in the 60's there were places called communes. Kids would leave home and share places. The hippies shared communes. And lived together. Strangers would share homes.

Anything from blood on the tracks would be great to react. Visions of Johanna and Girl from north country as well. He does a great collab with Johnny Cash signing Girl from North country. All worth checking out.

A great song is something you can hear , 100 times , and listen to it a 100 different ways .

Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, The Times They Are A-Changing, Masters or War and so many more songs. Probably the best to ever write a song and I know I am probably wrong lol.

what version is this??

Bob Dylan has many great songs and was a voice of the 60s too one I like alot is "Hurricane" base on a true story - which most can relate today

My personal Dylan top 10: 1. Visions of Johanna 2. Desolation Row 3. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 4. You're a Big Girl Now 5. Señor (Tales of Yankee Power) 6. From a Buick 6 7. Subterranean Homesick Blues 8. Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues 9. Like a Rolling Stone 10. Changing of the Guards

dillon is a homeboy he's a poet . that puts music to his poetry because most of us myself included don't read or listen to poetry. couple things you need to know. first musicians couch surfed Jimmy has a place and 15 musicians would be sleeping in their studio. but homelessness didn't exist. it never existed until reagan started his war on the poor and emptied and closed most mental hospitals. prior to that were hobos and wino's that didn't want or care about having a home they moved LIKE A ROLLING STONE. today our homeless includes them plus hard working people that can't make enough money to house them and their family.

AHHHHHH. NOT DYLAN

America’s balladeer for sixty years. A national treasure.

Nice shirt Lex!🤘Need more SLAYER!🤘

I've always been a bit confused between Jimi Hendrix's single called HOW WOULD YOU FEEL kzfaq.info/get/bejne/opOSdrGFqNXRhoU.html and Jimi's LIKE A ROLLING STONE which has a similar feel and tune kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iKiGesRmqZyrdI0.html As an 11 year old, I CARRIED "HOW WOULD YOU FEEL" AROUND IN MY SCHOOL SATCHEL FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS in the hope of an opportunity to play it for my English teacher, Miss Ferguson, after she announced that one day she was going to ask us to bring in a record that meant a lot to us and she would play it and discuss it with the class - so I carried it with me for months, in anticipation. ...WELL THAT DAY FINALLY CAME, and it was a bit embarrassing because she put it on and it crackled like I;d been scrubbing it with sandpaper - which made the other kids laugh (at me) ... they all seemed to miss the POINT - of what the song was ABOUT - It really p..ssed me off. Everybody else brought in the same old cra ... - a hit called "I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING" by the New Seekers, WHICH WAS A TV ADVERT FOR COCA COLA kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8hdhMyq0NLVXYU.html ... but everyone saw deep meaning in it, and so the whole class discussed whatever it was supposed to mean (buy more soft drinks) - In fairness, the teacher, Miss Fergusson, DID force the class to examine the meaning in Jimi' Hendrix's song. Sure, I could go do an AB comparison right now and identify the differences but I'd rather let you have that fun. Everyone also laughed that my record was missing the centre piece - like a JUKE BOX 7" single - and I had bodged in a make shift centre piece to convert it to a 1/4" spindle type - You COULD actually BUY the proper adapter but I didn;t have one. kids have always laughed at anything they regard as "cheap", not A1 quality - I have never understood why, until I eventually realized most humans can be pretty shallow. When you haven;t got much, you tend to value things more - not for what they look like or how impressive they are to own - but the true value, the function. To this day I'm STILL glad I made the effort to carry that record with me for months.

Every great band has recorded Bob Dylan songs!!! This is a good cover, but not Bob!!!! Bob is also a member of the GREATEST SUPER GROUP to ever exist "The Traveling Wilburys". You should also listen to Bob's son Jakob Dylan, his band is called 'The Wallflowers" and they are really great!!!👌👍✌😁

Oh God. Hearing this version made me sad. Bob’s is on another level. Please use Bob’s version.

This is the song that changed music FOREVER!!! It will ALWAYS be worthy of worship!

Come on guys, really, not Dylan, get it together, y'alls still awesome 😎❤️

I think Bob Dylan's voice is an acquired taste, and I haven't quite got there even yet. The big thing about Dylan are the songs and more particularly the lyrics which are poetic, which you'd expect I suppose of a man who took the name of a poet that he admire as his surname (Dylan Thomas). Some good songs to react to would be (and there are many): Hey Mr Tambourine Man and if you want the definitive cover for that look up a The Byrds Knocking on Heaven's Door (which was mega hit for Eric Clapton) but I'd strongly recommend Tangled Up In Blue and/or Simple Twist of Fate (also a great covered by KT Tunstall) - I find these hard to listen to - not because they're bad but because they're so good!

More Dylan songs: Visions of Johanna and Tangled up in Blue.

"Masters of War" sung by Eddie Vedder at Bob Dylan's tribute concert!

Bob Dylan is now 80 years old and still touring.

If you like this, you'd really love Bob Dylan!

Imagine how good that song was. Now imagine that song 10X better. That's how good Dylan's version is. BTW, you guys are great! You complement each other really well. Brad's focus is lyrics and meaning, and Lex is all about the music. Keep it up.

Bob Dylan the hurricane 🔥🔥

I must be getting old to see people that don't understand this song intimately. Love you two, through so keep up the good work!

Just listening to you address this song makes me want to cry.... Have you ever heard of the saying how the mighty have fallen.....

Who’s cover is this?

That is not Bob Dylan . . . definitely want to check out the real Dylan, though . . . time capsule of our lives.

Dylan‘s voice is different depending on the song and how old he is but always distinguishably Dylan.

This is a cover of Bob Dylan. My favorite Dylan songs were those covered by The Byrds.

Wow! Obviously this is a cover and Brad & Lex are now aware of that, but it never ceases to amaze me how many musicians are willing to produce such substandard covers of truly great songs! This song is peak Dylan! He's given you all the ingredients required to succeed. World class lyricism, music, melody... And they still managed to lay this f***ing turd? Seriously, is this cover the 'how NOT to do it' version?

Is this an alternate version from the vaults?

Check out “times are changing” by mr Dylan also

Check out A hard rains gonna fall from Bob Dylan, AMAZING song

Tangled Up in Blue, Subterranean Homesick Blues, A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall, Don't Think Twice It's Alright, Masters of War, The Times They are A-Changing, Maggie's Farm, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, It's All Right Ma (I'm only bleeding) are all worthy of your ears, and those are just pre-1965!

Positively 4th street is one you guys would love

My dad used to blast this shit at 7 am on Sunday s

Check out Dylan‘s cover of “you belong to me“ by the Duprees. His voice is like tree bark; rough and beautiful.

Try Tangled up in Blue and Blowin in the Wind and When I Paint My Masterpiece

In the sixties young people were on the move. All over the big cities, having' some of those real good times, (if ya know what I mean). Plenty to observe and people from all classes and walks of life mingling. Plenty of characters and stories!

You should really check out this song from the live album "at Bodukan" That version is insane
