How the hell you all stumbled upon such a random, underrated, under appreciated Band like this is beyond me. I’ve been a fan for years. Thank you for covering this.

The thing about the Welsh is, there’s about 3 million of them and they all can sing well! I say this as an Englishman.

Definitely do Local Boy In The Photograph and A Thousand Trees

Local Boy in the Photograph is a banger!!

The bartender and the thief is their best song from their 2nd album, however, as a whole, their 1st album is the best. A thousand trees is a great opener to any debut album.

These guys grew up literally down the road from me so nice to see a reaction to them and seeing them play in front of thousands of people. Great stuff

Kelly Jones (stereophonics frontman) joined the black crows to do twice as hard. You should check that out

One of the best bands to come out of Wales, but the one you’ve gotta check out (also a Welsh band) is Manic Street Preachers, one of rocks true giants ❤️

Have seen this band 18 times live and their songwriting improves album after album and 20 years on they are an awesome stadium love act

Any song from Stereophonics is a good choice. They are still going strong! If you want to start from the beginning I can suggest "A Thousand Trees" and "Local Boy In The Photograph" from their debut album back in 1997. "The Bartender And The Thief" and "I Wouldn't Believe Your Radio" from their second album. Since 1997 up until today they have released 11 albums (and a greatest hits album). They will release their 12th album in 2022 called "Oochya!". Stereophonics started out as a 3 piece band with Kelly Jones on vocals/guitar, Richard Jones (no relations' to Kelly) on bass and Stuart Cable on drums. Stuart was kicked out of the band when touring with their 4th album. It was said he wasn't that interested in touring and there was some turbulence between the band members. They later became friends again but sadly Stuart Cable died in 2010. A studio session drummer Javier Weyler was drumming on the recordings of their 5th album and ended up as a band member for 8 years before he quit to focus on his own band. Jamie Morrison joined Stereophonics as their drummer in 2012 and seems like a good fit for the band. Adam Zindani on guitar joined Stereophonics in 2007 as a touring guitarist but has along the way ended up as a permanent member of the band. Kelly Jones (singer/guitarist and main songwriter) has said in interviews he is a big fan of The Black Crowes so no wonder you can hear some influences from them in some of Stereophonics songs.

A live performance of Dakota gives me goosebumps every time!

Stereophonics - "A thousand trees" is gold. That would be a good reaction. Saw them live about 17-19 years ago, free ticket. so good. Best welsh band (with " Manic street preachers")

You guys have to watch Muse - Knights of Cydonia (live in Rome). As a one off performance (I never thought they quite hit the heights of oasis) it absolutely blows away anything you've watched so far.

“Bartender & The Thief” is an awesome video

I think the stereophonics are like rod stewart and the faces. Very good strong vocals and class guitars. You should hear handbags and gladrags from them.

Welsh singers are the best singers. That is just a fact. Cymru am byth. Love your videos boys!

If you want more Phonics live, I would suggest one of their home gigs in Wales, maybe Cardiff Castle? Banging!!

Yes please, more Stereophonics. Local Boy in a Photograph is so moving but still fast paced and one where you should use the lyrics I think. It's from their debut album where all of the songs are depicting people and life in the area where they're from in South Wales. This song, because it's moving could or should be more of a ballad but they've upped the tempo for a reason and that makes it so much more poignant which you will hear when you know the lyrics.

I live about 40 mins away from where the stereophonics grew up and formed. They certainly put Wales on the map. Feeling proud! Glad I found this page too. Loving the videos 👍 keep em coming 👌

bartender and the thief and just looking are bangers

Stereophonics are one of the best! Class band from Wales. Kelly Jones has such a wonderful voice and his cherry SG is sexy - so is he lol!

Check out they’re set at transmt 2018. They were phenomenal and the Glasgow crowd were crazy. Kelly’s voice was perfect from from beginning to end ❤️❤️

One of the best live UK bands, check out Local Boy in a Photograph or Mr & Mrs Smith. Kelly Jones has written some amazing songs and deserves more credit for his writing

Kelly Jones is the singer. His voice is instantly recognisable. He can sing rock - listen to some of the covers of say Gimme Shelter by Rolling Stones, I saw her Standing There by The Beatles but then he has a stunning voice singing slower or more acoustic he's performed My Girl, Help Me Make it Through the night. They did a cover of Handbags and Gladrags and has been regularly been compared to rod Stewart. He's the sort of person who could sing the phonebook and sound amazing!

If you want a banging live version of this, check out their TRNSMT performance from a sun soaked gig in Glasgow, a Scotland. Same gig crowd as Gerry Cinnamon.

i have been wanting to suggest you check out " U2 - Under A Blood Red Sky " from Red Rocks. search for the songs Gloria or Sunday Bloody Sunday in youtube. This is early U2...1981 I believe and Bono's voice is incredible and The Edge's guitar is epic and Adam Clayton bass lines are killer. Bono is a true front man... with a mullett no less...

Excellent reaction to the kick ass Stereophonics ! Keep up the good work guys 🥰

The drummer was in a Stereophonics tribute band when they discovered him. The original drummer had left the band and had died of a drug problem. By the way they are a Welsh band from the valleys north of Newport.

Brings back memories this song. I was in hospital with a serious illness and this song got me through. Great vid.

Stereophonics my favourite band, seen them live 7 times and always put on a great show, another great band to listen out for and from my neck of the woods in Ayrshire Scotland are Biffy clyro, they are absolutely brilliant too, please look them up too, u won't be disappointed.

The Courteeners "What took you so long" and "Not nineteen forever"

we are an underrated country with AMAZING MUSIC , Best Welsh band although i love Manic street preachers too another band u should check out songs like A deisgn for life, Motorcycle Empytiness

Quality tunes and voice, Handbags and Gladarags and Mr writer are 2 more to check out guys 👍😀

Seen a few comments here already saying you guys should check out Manic Street Preachers, and I would like to join them. You guys should check out Manic Street Preachers. Seriously, they're really bloody good.

Also you should react to "motorcycle emptiness" by the manic street preachers, guitar is lethal :)

Stereophonics are Brilliant... so many great songs.. my second fav band after Oasis and the best live band I’ve ever seen

Bartender and the thief is the one you need to do, trust. The music video is quite cool too

Going with the Welsh theme recommend Manic Street Preachers -A design for life, or Motorcycle Emptiness

Kelly has an amazing voice one of the best I've heard live ✌❤

Stereophonic doing first time ever I saw your face. Love watching you guys👏👏

That man can sing.. his voice is incredible..

The fratellis "Chelsea dagger", gets us brits going !

Handbags and Gladrags by the Stereophonics is the best

Pulp - Common People (Reading 2011)…please!!! Unbelievably good live performance, the way they play the crowd at the end is MAGIC. *Pulp* were one of the early runners in Britain's Brit-Pop era.

Werchter is a flemish (dutch speaking) town in Belgium, 3O minutes away from the Stella Artois brewery, if that makes more sense :) Glad you like the Stereophonics! They are the best :) My first gig of them in Werchter was in '99, have seen them about 60 times ... and more... lost counting :s

His voice is incredible. Their version of Handbags & Gladrags shows it off well , Check the studio version.

Tuuuunnnee! Gents pulling out another classic from across the pond, proper gem!, had the pleasure to witness these legends bust this tune out a few times live.... the proper bollox every time! Right out the ball park!

Really like it that you mix up the live stuff with the studio versions. You might enjoy Dizzee Rascal vs Nirvana, Stand Up Tall live on Jools Holland - great live performance.

Good tune. The natural step from Stereophonics is to Manic Street Preachers. Try Design for Life, live preferably. 👍 While you're on the 'phonics though, check out their Morfa Stadium gig. It's phenomenal.

So good live, saw them years ago at the Brighton centre.

Should try don’t look back into the sun by the libertines at reading and leeds

Seriously every single album of theirs is amazing. One of the few bands who make great albums these days along with great individual tracks

Guys please do "Bartender and the Thief" and "A Thousand Trees", they're fantastic songs. Also "More Life in a Tramps Vest" :D Not enough people doing Stereophonics old stuff :D

Really enjoying the channel, you should have a listen to Local boy in the photograph by Stereophonics.

Also, their big homecoming back in the day at morfa stadium, anything you can find from that

Arctic Monkeys.... if you havent checked them out... you are missing out.... but check out the first album to the current... and see how their sound evolves.

Definitely check out a thousand trees guy's !

Please do Franz Ferdinand Take Me Out!! Kx

Goldfish bowl by The ‘phonics is amazing. Absolute fan favourite

Classic Phonics worth listening to Bartender and the Thief A Thousand trees Local Boy in the Photograph

You might want to check out: THE Bartender and the Thief Mr writer The handbags and the Glad rags Madam Helga. Vegas 2 times Devil Superman. There are too many great songs by the Stereophonics to list.

I saw Kelly Jones solo in San Fran when I was there on holiday, 2001, he told me and my mate to fuck off to the bar and get another drink which was fair enough as we kept shouting ratatouille between songs, the folly of youth!

You like Stereophonics and Black Crows? Well why not react to them playing together! The did a duo of "Twice as Hard" on the Jools Holland show. Its fckn superb!

Someone get these guys reacting to Eurovision or least Eurovision 2021 and some of the top songs

guys if you like SP try Australia or If you tolerate this by "Manic Street Preachers" ~ will blow you away

Indian summer…. Fly like an eagle…. Handbags and gladrags.. sooo many good songs . Best band I’ve seen by a mile America you don’t know what ya missing.

A minute longer is a great song by the stereophonics, hurry up and wait, stopped to fill my car up, a thousand trees and local boy in the photograph

Great reaction to Stereophonics. Kelly Jones has a fantastic voice. Madame Helga is a great rocker. Bartender And The Thief This Life Ain't Easy C'est La Vie. I Wanna Get Lost With You. Local Boy In A Photograph - sad song Kelly wrote about a young lad he knew who committed suicide. Cover of The Beatles I Saw Her Standing There. Kelly's solo- Help Me Make It Through The Night My Girl

Take a look at their first album guys... Don't think I've seen a bad live performance from them.

My favourite band ever, if you want the full live version of Dakota watch T in the park, TRNSMT, or isle of whyte festival.

Another Classic Song is "Fear" by Ian Brown, from the stone roses.

Check out Mr writer, traffic, stopped to fill my car up, local boy in a photograph. All epic stereophonic tunes. Great show

Boys it has to be 'bartender and the thief' and I defy you to not start tapping your feet and nodding your heads. it's impossible!

The video for their song White Lies shows how awesome their lives shows really are, and not just at a festival. Also, Mr and Mrs smith live in Cardiff is a great one by them... especially if you like the dope drummer

The bartender and the thief is a must!

Stereophonics best band been a fan for many years so amazing live got to see them week before 1st lockdown 💖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Awesome guys... check out the bartender and the thief by the phonics .. I fkn loves it 😀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

stereophonics - just looking

Try Mr and Mrs Smith by Stereophonics. Awesome live set with insane drum solo

seen them live in Glasgow a few times. evetime I see live it feels emotional for me only band i love

Bartender and the thief live at TRNSMT is what you want next 🙌🎸 it gets the crowds bouncing!

Love your videos the boys. You've rekindled my love for a lot of these bands you've covered that I hadn't listened to for years. Try out oasis playing Colombia at the Glasgow barrowlands if you haven't already. Also try the Verve and lucky man. Don't know any specific live versions but the official video is amazing.

Hurry Up And Wait - live at Morfa Stadium, 1998.

Fair to say that all Oasis fans are ‘phonics fans too. Their first album is genius - Word Gets Around. Listen to “Local Boy in the Photograph” AND “A Thousand Trees”. Worth looking up the background to the lyrics too especially A Thousand Trees which is a true story of how rumours and gossip can kill a guy. Genius tracks both.

the bartender and the thief is cracking! you should also try little man tate - house party at boothy's. great song!

When you say let’s get back to this it’s f****** awesome - you know!

Bartender and the thief or local boy in the photograph are banging

Can't believe you're not comparing the voice to Rod Stewart! Should definitely check out the Faces song Stay With Me

Fantastic band and song. Saw them at de montfort hall Leicester it was either 1999 or 2000 absolutely fantastic.

Stereophonics - Mr Writer 🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great reaction, you would love the Manic Street Preachers

Jones is a great storyteller. Local Boy in the Photograph and Same Size Feet. Amazing lyrics and tune.

You need to go back to the beginning when Stereophonics had the most energy. Try songs like A Thousand Trees or Local Boy in the Photograph.

Yes!! Legends

More !!

A Thousand Tree's Last Of The Big Time Drinkers More Life in a Tramp's Vest Local Boy in a Photograph Just Looking Bartender and the Thief are all worth checking out from The Stereophonics first two albums.

Defo more Stereophonics please

You need to play Manic Street Preachers ‘Motorcycle Emptiness’

Try Manic Street Preachers 'A design for life' lyric video...then 'you stole the sun from my heart' video

I am also wondering if you are ready for Maxïmo Park. Amazing pop rock band with an amazing front man and oh so deep lyrics. If any of you followers concur, please suggest some songs. I say "Girls who play guitars" live at Glastonbury 2009
