@marinaridley4187 @bobcislinski the building is called "Salzmannfarbik" known for the legendary Stammheim Techno Club in the 90s and early 2000s

I remember the first time hearing their song "Barfuß am Klavier" and sobbing through all of it.

I love seeing young people putting their own twist on music, breathing new life into it.

I totally agree.

My favorite part is when Henning sings “I won’t share you with another boy” & the harmonica is so great ❤❤❤

We always used handkerchiefs for muffling sounds when playing outside, it gives the drum a softer sound. AMK is known for their street playing, they are such an amazing band. Absolutely love them. Henning’s voice is legend.

Hi Alicia, that was my assessment to in the handkerchief. Anything touching thr head is going to muffle the sound a bit. These guys are amazing for sure. I’m loving their stuff.

I was unaware that this song could be elevated even 1mm, however...they open their mouths and magic comes out! gah!!!

One of the best acoustic songs I ever heard. How their voices disappear and how you want to hear them again. As well the band. Absolutely great

With all the bullshit and copycats that are promoted this days and pollute the music is good to know that we still have amazing talents out there that play for fun and for the love of pure music .And that guy voice is one in a generation .I am sure he’s voice will be kept in time .

They've been playing on the streets of cologne like 10 years ago where I first saw them. Few years after I bought their first album. It's still one of my favorite ones that I own. Such a great band.

Henning May’s voice gives me chills every damn time!

i can’t tell u how many times i listend to this cover… i get goosebumps every time. the whole vibe a the way they sound together, i can’t describe it but i’m so in love with that cover.

Please react to some of AnnenMayKantereits original songs! They have a handful of songs sung in English (my favourite being ‘James’ specifically the live version) but the German ones are sooo good too. If you listen to those please look up the lyric translation though because AMK often have very meaningful lyrics

I’m so glad you reacted to this! A couple more you might want to check out is ‘Sometimes I like to lie’ and Hennings cover of the Neil Young song ‘The needle and the damage done’. They also have heaps of original songs which are great too.

Clapping ,,,ok but, the harmony's at the end are awesome too.

That's actually an Acoustic Bass Guitar! An amazing sound for a great song

Annenmaykantereit have some amazing songs in their native language german :D The lyrics are great as well, but since they shine through the overall music arrangement, its not even a must to understand them :D There are translations though. I think you are one of the first foreign guys that react to them. Best regards from Bayreuth, germany

Thanks for the Toms Diner- outstanding!! Freds’ reaction to Henning May initial vocal is priceless- awesome video moment! And then carrying to next room- continuing the rhythm- simply stunning!!!

3:21 you nailed it. I think I read somewhere, that was the reason to record that song just there. They didn't need effects or editing for that song. Thats why they look so happy too. Because their plan work out

I'm going to be brutally honest I'm not one who likes bands doing other songs however these gentlemen took a classic that I grew up with and smashed it I would actually pay for this version I have a 9000 watt stereo system at home and I cannot wait to play this version through it so kudos to these gentlemen

Hi Aurora! Yep that was my thought too. Thanks!

Mans’ voice is so deep he had to show up in one of his videos again.

5he handkerchief is there to slightly dull the sound and to prevent the snare from reverberating as much. my dad was a drummer in a band that played in Dallas a lot back from 2011-2016, and he used these things he called "jellies" that did the same thing when he'd play certain songs for his shows. I was his roadie 🤷‍♀️

It specifically muffles the sharpness of the sticks striking the snare. It rounds out and softens the sound to blend better. They make mats that do similar.

besides AnnenMayKantereits own exceptional compositions I also love cover versions like "Dream a Little Dream of Me" or "Hand in Hand" from the German band Beatsteaks or not to forget "Bang Bang" - to name but a few - check the snippet "I´d rather go blind" by Henning May, it´s amazing . The German Duo Milky Chance is also a class of its own and internationally well known.

Thanks for this reaction! This has already been suggested but I also highly recommend the song „Farbfilm“ covered by Annemeikantereit. It’s all in German but it is so fun to watch!!!

Great musicians, all of them!❤

Most impressive... one take like so many AMK songs! Nothing cut, nothing added, nothing edited... just pure talent!

And what you already got with Tom's Diner cover, they don't just let join some less know musicians, but get onto a whole new level together!

He told her she didn't need to turn on the lights, but he finally clapped his hands to encourage her to turn on the lights. It is interesting that it seems to represent the two feelings of the man.

You should check out more of Giant Rooks too! I'd love to see a video on a song that's just them!

I think the drummer is using the handkerchief on the snare drum to remove the snap, which would certainly echo very sharply. definitely a muffle and a much softer beat.

If u look closely to the blonde guy he is playing acoustic bass actually. U can notice the 4 strings on there. Really fun instrument to play.

you should definitely check out AMK's cover of Valerie with Findlay, if you haven't yet, it's GORGEOUS.

When you look closely you can see that Malte (Guy with the blond hair) plays an acoustic Bass not a guitar So you are right he is playing the bass sounds

If you haven't already, watch their cover of Can't get you out of my head. As for Roxanne, I've listened to it on 10 different occasions, discovering something new like the 2 distinctive clapping patterns. It was interesting when you pointed out the guitar players towards the end. I will listen again for that.

I agree with the handkerchief opinion, if you see some of their other videos, it becomes a kitchen towel, muffling more

You're the band teacher, so there's only one reason for the handkerchief: To make the percussion more earthy and it fits with their interpretation of this song.

It a muffling effect. Gives the snare a more muted sound.

8:00 looking at the fact, that the right "guitar" only has 4 strings (you can see it at the head of the guitar) I would say its actually an acoustic bass
