  1. Also an 80s teen bass player here; I listened to a lot of Rush in the 80s for the same reason lol

  2. Is C maj over F a Csus4 inverted? Are they related?

  3. This video just makes me smile.

  4. Well I guess if you can't make enough money by selling your poor quality controlled guitars, may as well try your hand in the lawsuit lottery.

  5. All this machinery, making modern music, can still be open-hearted Not so coldly charted, it's really just a question of your honesty, yeah your honesty! - Neil Peart

  6. 10:51 Rick throws together a quick demo piece and a video that blows away anything I've ever tried to do lol.

  7. The focus is on guitar heroes, but the problem is that rock as we knew it 30 or 40 years ago isn't the cultural force it once was. Pop music used to consist of a fair amount of rock, now it's moved on to lighter fare. Rock, like jazz, is becoming a niche or underground movement. Like jazz, it's still hugely popular with a large segment of the population, but it's not the top of the hill anymore.

  8. Condolences, Rick. (Or should we call you "Richard" for a while?)

  10. The SG will forever be associated with Tony Iommi in my mind.

  11. You should do a part 2 where you point out the things to pick out for someone who is listening to a tune like this for the first time. When I started listening to jazz I did what any fan does; I just played my favorite tracks over and over and each time I paid attention to a different part. Piano one time, bass line another time, the turnaround, etc.

  12.  @roberthuffmann8204  Yeah Hendrix was known for Beatles covers. There's video somewhere of him doing a Beatles tune or two at a show.

  13. Amazing interview.

  14. 60 second video shorts on awesome guitar knowledge, 20 minutes on horrible overproduced pop.

  15. The Taylor Swift song is okay, but it makes me want to go listen to "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama now, which remains a killer 80s pop song.

  16. This tune encapsulates all that is iconic and cool about the early 1960s. Sex, style, surf rock, a bit of film noir, and the dashing agents we liked to imagine were fighting the Cold War behind the scenes.

  17. I thought BAE stood for "British Aerospace-English Electric". But I'm old I guess.

  18. Rush made 4 albums before they proved the public would pay for good heavy prog rock. Their third album sold so poorly they almost got dropped by the label. No way would a band like that NOT get dropped today. Also no way they'd let Peart write his own lyrics.

  19. If you told me you were in a famous band and played this song for me I'd assume you had nothing to do with it except maybe singing. The whole thing sounds like it was created in software and uploaded to Bandcamp or Soundcloud.

  20. This video needs to blow up, and this channel needs to blow up more.

  21. William Murderface gets overlooked again! lol Great video, Rick, I hope you'll do a few more vids focusing on the role of bass in music.

  22. Duster is another great slow-fi band that does this kind of stuff. RIP Mimi.

  23. I love how you could've chosen any Tool song to demonstrate their odd time signatures, but you choose Die Eier Von Satan, which is one of their most off the wall hilarious tracks!

  24. The consolidation of media companies has implications for society far beyond music. It's a major factor in what has gone on in the last year or so, and that's about as far as I want to go in this comment section.

  25. I think I owned that Beck album in the 80s for some reason. Don't know why; I hated that Rod Stewart song and never listened to the record. Maybe my brother owned it or something, because I sure can't imagine why I'd buy something I disliked so much.

  26. Or Maynard's Dick.

  27. This is a really well-composed video and thoughtful commentary, Rick, those are all great points. I remember thinking years ago that streaming was causing us to revert to the days of the 45-rpm single, only this time without the cool physical media of a 45 record and sleeve. I think that even if a musician can't afford to have records or CDs printed, they should strive to make albums in digital form, complete with artwork and liner notes, etc. Of the bands I've played in, my favorite project was the one where I successfully pestered them to go in a studio and record an album. We did it for fairly cheap and it was a milestone when we finished it, we were all proud of what we had accomplished, and years later we have a tangible record of the times we spent writing and performing.

  28. Pink Floyd Umma Gumma and Tangerine Dream Zeit! Love this guy's musical tastes.

  29. Does she own the melodies and copyrights? Are the new versions actually covers of the old versions for which she must pay a fee?

  30. That No. 1 track is cool, almost sounds as if they transported 70s Rush into the 90s and gave them a 90s producer.

  31. My dad had this album years ago and I used to listen to it a lot. I'm not really a fan of Pat Metheny but at the time I thought this album was cool.

  32. Rush's Limelight solo as played by David Gilmour

  33. This is great. Hope to see some Alex Lifeson here someday.

  34. Great video, Zeppelin might call it up in court, haha. Loving the Adam Neely-ish outro theme. Also: 3:20 Zeppelin-Beatles mashup: Page and McCartney need to make this happen NOW

  35.  @j_freed  Her name is Merry Clayton, and I don't know where you heard that. She actually covered the song on her own album and she's been on youtube talking about working with the Stones.

  36. I had problems seeing the last part of this video. I think there's something in my eye...

  37. I was really young, didn't know about it until the next day when I walked to the school bus stop and one of my friends said, "You hear John Lennon got shot last night?" and I was like, "Oh. Who's that?" I had no idea who he was talking about. I remember it was really freaking cold out and there was snow and ice all around that morning.

  38. Never thought I'd say this, but pick any random 80s hair metal band and they sound better than this list.

  39. This is great, Rick. That stuff about the panned reverb is why I love this series. For decades we've all talked about how great the playing was in VH but without this video I never would've known about that studio magic.

  40. I thought the Zeppelin song would be Whole Lotta Love but there are a dozen that'll do.

  41. I count Marissa Paternoster of the Screaming Females as a guitar hero. She has chops and stage presence for days. The problem there is that rock bands like the Females won't ever play stadiums because the industry doesn't put them out there as pop stars the way they used to.

  42.  @frantisekvtelensky820  Also, in her James Corden interview she sang in his car and yes, she can actually sing very well when it's called for. I wonder if Dan can sing as well.

  43. I actually remember where I was the first time I heard this song. Driving up I-95 through Baltimore and it came on 98 Rock over my Blaupunkt car stereo. I had no idea who it was but I cranked it right up immediately. Been an AIC fan ever since.

  44. The 2000's were the beginning of the end for rock as a mainstream genre. So many rock bands were riding the coattails of what remained of grunge and post-grunge and the production was starting to get really obnoxious in a way we hadn't seen since the hair metal days. Throw in the Loudness Wars and here we are in the 2020s struggling to find a decent rock radio station in major cities, inundated with mediocre pop songs produced by a committee of 25, snapped to grids, and autotuned to hell and back.

  45. This video will be demonetized for the Eagles pie fight!

  46. Awesome! Next, tell us about the Lifeson Chord. And then someday interview Alex Lifeson and ask him about it.

  47. Boomer bends sounds like some kind of horrible scuba diving accident.

  48. The down votes must be from the various piano repairmen and tuners who worked with Oscar.

  49. For me, it was Niel Peart. The only celebrity loss I was really upset about, and still am.

  50. @Nick Costa Your opinion reinforces my point about people today not understanding how important Clapton was back in the day.
