  1. @Nick Costa Well Jimi didn't think he was boring.

  2. @Nick Costa And besides, I was trying to talk about a historical fact, when you decided to throw in your personal opinion and then start an internet argument over it. If you're really in your 50s you should know better than to act like such a child.

  3. I remember the parody version: Eat Me I'm a Danish.

  4. I remember how, about 10 or 15 years ago, rock music on the radio started to sound dry and repetitive, and every band had an annoying loud mouth singer and the music was all overproduced. It reminded me of how rock music got really stale in the late 80s, when all the hair metal bands were just rehashing each other and trying to see who could have the bigger party image than Motley Crue, before the grunge/alternative scene breathed new life into it. This video goes a long way to explaining how the later phenomena came to pass.

  5. They really ad-bombed you on this one, Rick. I guess Eddy Vedder's gonna make some money off your vid.

  6.  @RickBeato  I too lazy to use an ad blocker, so I just have to struggle through this. Getting harder these days the way youtube is going.

  7.  @ethanbaum6776  Funny thing is I know a woman who is pretty good with the theremin but can't get used to playing a guitar or a piano.

  8. Time for a new Beato=produced I9 album.

  9. Right, so let's get this straight: small time youtubers who sample a few seconds of a 40 year old pop song for instructional purposes get demonetized or even copyright strikes, but super pop stars blatantly ripping off 40 year old songs almost note for note is just fine with youtube. Why? Because the pop star makes the record company money, and youtube does what the record companies want? That's complete BS. I'm so sick of this. Has anyone here heard of "February Filter Sweep"? Last year a youtuber was reviewing a new synthesizer and showing off the filter sweep function and his video got hit for copyright infringement because that one sound, not a melody or even a note, just a sound, was too close to a sound in some pop song. Earlier this year it happened again. This is insane, when does it stop?

  10. Just here from the live stream...okay, end of vid. My opinion: Vox for the win. Too bad it has to be ear-splitting loud, but you can't beat that sound.

  11. I'll say this for Guitar Hero etc., those games introduced a lot of younger people to music of past generations and gave a lot of 70s rock bands an uptick for a while. Maybe even got some kids interested in learning a real instrument once in a while.

  12. BASS

  13.  @kristopherloviska9042  At least it took some skill to paint Dogs Playing Poker. I can't draw that, anyway.

  14.  @MicovskiMC  Rick says it's a real piano. You say it isn't. Guess which one of you I am going to believe.

  15.  @disarmsox  Hey, I'm having an argument on the internet over here!

  16. First song I remember learning was Distant Early Warning by Rush. On the bass. Because I decide from the start I wanted to play the bass. I was obsessed with bands with strong bassists like Rush and Yes, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, and I worshipped guys like John Entwistle. Every kid I knew wanted to play guitar or maybe drums; I wanted to play bass. Worked out, too, in the 80s if you were a teenager who was competent on bass your phone rang off the hook with kids asking you to join their bands.

  17. This is awesome, Rick, more New Wave / Post-Punk tunes, please! At least let's talk about on a live stream sometime. Some obscure great stuff from the 80s buried behind all these hit songs, too. Modern English's entire After the Snow Album, for example, or The Chameleons album Script of the Bridge. The 80s was so experimental and creative. Nobody knew what the future was going to be coming out of the 70s and all kinds of things were being thrown out there.

  18. Rick, great job with the on-screen notation and color display, I don't know how you did that but it's a great visual aid. Also, that title, even though you mentioned this was coming on your live stream it still scared me a bit!

  19. I always knew there was a synth pad there but never noticed it made those sci fi noises! I love the vast amounts of space the notes have to breath in this song, and the fact that it's not squashed to death with compression. Those ambient room noises actually make it better, more natural sounding. The Police were a great band who existed when analog recording was at its best.

  20. Side B of Rush's Moving Pictures with songs like The Camera Eye and Vital Signs. The deep cuts from Signals like Chemistry and Countdown. Albums are essential for any real artist.

  21. 1 million subs, congrats! Imagine, 1 million people who will never get informed about all those blocker bands Rick would love to tell us about. Don Henley thinks he is protecting his income by keeping his music in the dark, SMH.

  22. The chances that the original artists are watching your channel are much higher than you think, Rick. Over the years you've gotten feedback from quite a few of them and your channel is well-known amongst musicians. Now, when do we get a Matthew Fisher interview? ;-)

  23. I don't know which one I "like" better; that would depend on what you're trying to record, but the difference in sound is certainly dramatic. There is a lot of truth to the notion that the speaker cab is at least as important or even more important than the rest of your gear.

  24. Sad that we think of Gary Numan as a 1-hit wonder, at least in the US. He has a lot of great songs and that Replicas album, under his band's name Tubeway Army, is one of the most cyberpunk themed album ever, all in new wave style. His newer stuff is pretty good, too, check My Name is Ruin on his channel. I saw him live a few months ago.

  25. It was a single DJ at WMMS in Cleveland, OH, who broke Rush by playing Working Man on the radio repeatedly in 1974. Donna Halper, arguably the first and most important Rush fan is a girl, believe it or not, and today she'd not be allowed to do that. Radio used to be awesome, and now it sucks big time, and we need to make it awesome again.

  26. DQ, never heard that before except when in the mood for some frozen desert product.

  27. It's called the G.I.F.T. Greater Internet F-wad Theory. Basically, internet access + anonymity = people act like total F-wads for no good reason.

  28. Second albums better than the first, a few of the top of my head: Rush - Fly By Night Slint - Spiderland The Sound - In the Lion's Mouth

  29. Thing is, if Rick warmed up and woodshedded sufficiently, I bet he could play that lick after all.

  35. J.S. Bach may be my pick for greatest musician/writer of all time. Hard to find a better one.

  36. Songs like You Know You're Right just plain sound good to your ear, you don't know why you like them, you just do. 20+ years later along comes Rick to explain why, and now I know. RIP Kurt, if only you had found another way to deal with the pain. He'd be about 50-ish today, and the world would be a little better place for it.

  37. I don't think the question is, "Will you still be listening to today's metal when you are 80?", to me it's more like, "Will you be listening to whatever metal has turned into when you are 80?" I think for most people that answer is probably "no". Sure I love Tool and Opeth and so on, but many of these bands are already more than 20 years old, and we grew up with them. Whether I listen to tomorrow's metal depends on a few things, like how overproduced and formulaic will it be, how original does it sound?

  38. Hey Rick, did they use a compressor on the bass and guitar for more sustain during those slow chords?

  39. 22:00 I thought somebody was blowing their car horn in front of my house lol

  40. This is genius, Rick. Eric's was my favorite. I'd so love to see a guitar duet with him and Page. Phil did a decent job of copping Eddie's sound and chops, but I have to wonder what Eddie himself would've come up with music wise. Same goes for you and Peter. Me, I'd love to see what Alex Lifeson would sound like on it.

  41. I can't hear Suite Judy Blue Eyes without hearing the bass part in my head.

  42. This was always one of my favorite Police songs, and this is a great video. This breakdown of structures is why I sub'd to this channel in the first place. Also, what more proof do we need of Andy Summers' talent than the fact that Alex Lifeson studied him intensely during the late 70s early 80s, and you can hear that influence all over Rush's albums of that period.

  43. Hard pick just ten, the Beatles were lightning in a bottle when it comes to music, how can all those good riffs and songs and talent come from four random guys in under ten years?

  44. The Pretenders' awesome debut album misses this list by one year (1979).

  45. Another great story, Rick. With your talent and experience it's about time you finally get some recognition. One thing about music is we know all about the celebrities who get famous, but for every one of the "stars" there are lots of people like you who make things happen without getting "big".

  46. Is No Quarter in drop D? Personally, I would've filled this list with mostly Tool songs myself. Of course, Everlong, and a few Van Halen songs I guess. And you mentioned the CSN and Neil Young stuff. So many good D tunes it's hard to keep it to just 10.

  47. I immediately thought of Dust in the Wind.

  48. Trees is another one, 5/4. La Villa Strangiato. Natural Science. The list just goes on with that band. All good.

  49. Spicy chords are like spicy food. They burn at first, but then you get used to them, and over time you like them.

  50. The Beato kids will grow up to be like Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes.
