  1. Rhett: "We could a whole 'nother video on Geezer Butler's bass tones." YES YES YES

  2. Rick Beato discussing "The Gilmour Effect" with...David Gilmour. These are the moments we live for, folks, savor this!

  3. All I saw was "Rick Beato" and "Radiohead" and clicked so fast I broke my mouse.

  4. The only thing wrong with this interview is that it is only an hour long. I could listen to Rick and Danny talk for a long time.

  5. If I've learned one thing from this video, it's that I really need to listen to more Steely Dan...

  6. I remember when this came out and was all over the radio. The visceral anger in her voice was amazing and even a little unsettling, which I thought was great. She just put everything into it. And that bass line was the next thing I noticed, so good. I love this video series, Rick, because I would never have noticed all that other stuff buried in the mix; it all has a subconscious effect on the listener but it goes unrecognized until now.

  7. When you're in your teens and early 20s, your ability to learn is at its highest and you usually don't have lots of complications in your life. No wife or kids, no long term job yet, no major bills to pay. That combination of simplicity and voracious learning ability means that whatever you practice hard at during that time will make a lasting impression for life. You can still learn stuff when you get older but it's harder and takes more willpower. You have to avoid distractions and for people with obligations it's tough. So if you're young, strike while the iron is hot. Before you know it you'll be married and involved with life. Put down the video games and your facebook phone and pick up your instrument.

  8. These Rick Beato interviews are the gold standard for musician interviews. More good information in a one hour video than whole stacks of music magazines or knucklehead youtuber vids.

  9. Rick is the most honest interviewer out there, and that honesty has earned him the trust of people like Sting and Maynard. Very cool.

  10. 19:20 "Now we're just getting to the good part!" LOL the smile on that face. On behalf of all your fans and all Tool fans, we love you Rick. Seriously.

  11. We've lot a lot of 90s singers, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, but I think Cornell was the biggest shock for me, Soundgarden had recent albums and were an active band once again, and he was indeed one of the greatest rock singers. Huge loss.
    224
  12. Rick Beato + Led Zeppelin = automatic thumbs up. Zeppelin is one of the greatest bands in rock and roll history.

  13. "Bass player and drummer are nailing it by the third take..." That's one take too many for Two-Take Beato!
    182
  14. With all the awful news today, this is just what I needed, Rick digging the mighty Purple! Everything about this song is great, the overdriven organ, the riff, the killer bass line and tone, Paice's ownership of the drums, Gillian's vocals. There will never be another band like 70s Purple.

  15. Adam Neely has talked about audiation before as well. I've always done this in my head, and always assumed everyone else does, too. Translating it to my instrument is a bit harder, though.

  16. I discovered the cycle of fifths was a lot easier to learn by just doing it on a bass or guitar. Play a major scale starting with the note C. What's the fifth note in the scale? G. So play another major scale starting on a G note. What's the fifth note in that scale? D. From there, A. Then E. Then B, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb, Bb, F, and finally back to C. Do this while looking at a picture of the cycle of fifths in front of you. Follow along with the diagram and you start to get the relation.

  17. Wow my comment got a Double Beato reply.

  18. @Luke He's all legal under fair use. Maybe you should read up on things before spouting nonsense on Rick Beato's channel.
    106
  19. Because it makes music fun to listen to, not boring like so much mainstream garbage out there.
    104
  20. You know the old joke: The quality of Weezer's music is inversely proportional to Rivers Cuomo's self esteem. So if you want to hear better Weezer tunes, you have to try to make Rivers feel sad.

  21. I regret that I have but one like to give for this video, Rick, been waiting a long time for this one, and you did not disappoint! Tool is one of my favorite bands of all time. Subscribing to your channel was certainly a good idea. I won't be this happy again until you get to a Rush song!
    96
  22. That is a killer track. Loving this. Anyone know who played bass on this song? It wasn't Paz, was it?
    94
  23. When I was growing up these Steely Dan tunes actually got lots of play on mainstream rock radio. We didn't know how good we had it. Unthinkable today. Tastes have certainly changed.
    80
  24. Okay, so let's do a little trading. I'd kick "The Boss" (hate that guy, growing up in NJ in the 80s was brutal for haters like me) off the list and add in Rob Halford.

  25. For hard rock fans, this is a "secret shame song" that you crank up only when alone, kind of like Avril Lavigne's My Happy Ending or one of several Billie Eilish songs. When your girlfriend talks you into going to a concert, you act negative but don't put up much of a fight because inside you know you want to go.

  26. Dave Grohl on the drum kit. Where he belongs. Great song, and great breakdown. That orchestral part suddenly sounds familiar and I remember hearing it on the radio many times, but it flies under the radar, awesome to see that. And yes, the piano version of this tune sounds cool.
    73
  27. Being sub'd to Adam's channel led me to Rick's channel.

  28. If a record company exec can make a bunch of hit songs without having to pay musicians or pay for studio time, then that's what you're going to get. Support local live bands; at least you know they are real when you see them in front of you (unless they're using backing tracks...which may be made by AI).

  29. 10:10 was waiting to see if Rick would pull out a Theremin and rock that too.
    66
  30. I love when guitar and bass together sound almost like a single instrument, the way a piano player uses two hands to play two parts on one instrument.
    63
  31.  @RickBeato  I was wondering if you were going to mention it or chicken out haha!
    62
  32. Can we just take a moment and admire how freaking beautiful that guitar is?
    60
  33. I like a lot of Tom Petty's work, I love this series, and this breakdown analysis is very good. But I have to say I've always hated this particular song and still do. I was hoping this would be about Breakdown or Refugee. It's interesting to be able to appreciate the work that went into producing it while still hating to listen to it.
    57
  34. I can't hear Sarah McLachlan's voice anymore without seeing sad puppies.
    56
  35. If you want a million dollars as a musician, you start with 3 million.
    53
  36. Great singing, of course. Still sad that "real piano" is considered special now.
    51
  37. I love the fact that Rick just made a cicada mashup just for a rant. Love this channel.
    51
  38. So are we not gonna talk about that epic thumbnail?
    51
  39.  @robertw1871  You must be new here.

  40. Rick, those isolated drum tracks are awesome, especially Whole Lotta Love, what a great one Bonham was! Also, great way to sneak in a Led Zep video without getting blocked!
    49
  41. If Martin Scorsese was making "What Makes This Song Great" vids, he would do only Rolling Stones songs.
    45
  42. "Yacht Rock" is a retronym, like "hair metal", a term made up years after the fact which nobody used at the time.
    38
  43. Over the years I got pretty sick of hearing this song on the radio over and over again; the fact that it's really just a long live jam didn't help. But I have to say that watching Rick break it down is a good reminder of how awesome a guitarist Frampton is. And how much fun it is watching Rick play that stuff and loving it.
    34
  44. "Like a tuned down Geddy Lee" ha ha love it. Never knew about this band, I think I may run off to Amazon and buy this album now.
    33
  45. The Black Album is a great album, and it was really the album that made Metallica into the massive juggernaut that they are today. And for a lot of us it was basically "thrash for beginners" and led us to check out their older stuff and get into other thrash bands. It's like Moving Pictures for Rush or Dark Side for Floyd, that one smash hit album that makes people notice all your other stuff too.
    29
  46. IIRC K-Tel compilations were all shortened edits of songs and the vinyl pressings were really poor quality. But yeah, those commercials are like vaporwave nostalgia.

  47. A video about 70s rock guitarists could easily go on for an hour and a half. Besides just naming players you could make it into a documentary about how the styles and techniques changed and how the players were influenced by each other. For instance, at the tail end of the 70s Alex Lifeson was heavily influenced by Andy Summers, and it starts to show on songs like Vital Signs and on through the Grace Under Pressure album. These guys were paying attention to each other and the music developed rapidly as a result.

  48. I think I know why I love these videos. They remind me of when I was a teenager sitting in my bedroom with my buddies listening to records and talking about music, except that now one of us actually knows what he's talking about.
    27
  49. Oh boy that would be a wild ride.

  50. That Pompeii Echoes is one of the greatest things ever created by humans.
