  1. "we can always travel back in time to listen to this music." UMG: "Oops. Yeah, about that fire we had ten years ago..."

  3. Wow, Rick, you keep knocking it out of the park with these interviews.

  4. How about What I Got by Sublime? Pretty sure that's two chords.

  5. Queen is still actively touring, too, which helps. My friend's 17-year old daughter went to see them like a year and a half ago. Don't know (or care) who their singer is these days, but continuing to exist as a band and putting on a good show helps you stay relevant, as long you're not geezing it too much (talking to you, Yes). As far as Hendrix, it seems his estate's management is a big fail. Jimi wasn't just a great guitarist and musician, he was actually a great rock star, complete with cool image. Basically the greatest rock guitar hero ever.

  6. Dude.

  7. 9:25 that's a beautiful Strat

  8. Yep, I remember suddenly young people were interested in 70s rock, which was kind of weird to me but cool.

  9. Wow, the outro is downright Neelyish. Rick gettin' fancy!

  10. Nice score, Rick, happy for you.

  11. Did it actually come with a guitar? Would be cool to have a Strat with a VW logo on the headstock lol.

  12. Is your outro music Adam Neely?

  13. I'm sad, Rick hit up all these blockers' hooks, but no Eagles or Don Henley? Dirty Laundry has some good hooks in it, so does Life in the Fast Lane, Take it Easy, etc.

  14. So Rick, whatever happened to the 12-string your mom bought you? I still have the bass my mom bought me.

  15. Did my comment get deleted?

  16. Jan, I'll do it, but you have to pay me.

  17. Another amazing catch for Rick's interview archives.

  18. Ron Carter?! Automatic thumbs up.

  19. Rick digging Rush. Automatic thumbs up. Geddy's bass playing is what inspired me to start playing an instrument.

  20. Great video, Rick. About your better sound recording equipment, unfortunately it also picks up not only your voice but also the thumping sound of your piano's keys when you play them.

  21. So Rick, where can we find that video where Carmen sang live in your studio? I don't see it on either of your channels, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

  22. "Stadium rock" is another fake term made up so people can dump on bands like Journey and Styx.

  23. "So what do you do?" Hans: "I'm a musician." "No, no, what do you do for a living?" Lol that's so on point.

  24. As a bassist I find your spread triad videos immensely useful and satisfying.

  25. Support the good guys: buy a Dean or two.

  26. So where does Slint fit in? Certainly an important band at the dawn of the 90s in underground circles and still influential today. Their use of guitars to create tension and soundscaping was pretty radical compared to the mainstream at the time.

  27. So true about how Taylor Swift and so many other pop megastars could be doing fresh-sounding stuff like this but choose to stay boring and predictable instead.

  28. Film the interviews with the blue wall in the background instead of the white door.

  29.  @bbarnhouse9022  Cool. I long ago quit trying to argue with people who don't like what I like, but the internet will internet. I enjoy Rick's technical analysis of music like Coldplay even though I may not care for the music itself.

  30.  @shawnminnier6117  B-52's have a lot of great songs, but what I like about them is the energy and vibe they put out, with that 50s/60s surf throwback thing.

  31. Back in the day I thought they were cheesy but I still listened to them when they came on the radio. Little did I know I would later miss that sound.

  32. Honestly when this song was all over radio I wasn't a fan, but I do love that bass line. Also, Tim looks a little hurt that just as he grabs that Rickenbacker the video is ending.

  33. I keep checking to see if my cell phone is close to my speakers.

  34. That era of Journey, those two albums Escape and Frontiers, was just tremendous. I was about 10 or 12 years old when those songs came out and I was instantly nostalgic for a time and a place that I had never experienced, taking the midnight train to anywhere, singers in smoky rooms, I was too young to have experienced any of that in life, but Journey makes you feel as if you've lived it. Still They Ride is another instant nostalgia song, I remember listening to it on vinyl with my bandmates when I was in my first band around 16 years old, marveling at Schon's guitar playing and seeing the emotion on each other's faces.

  35.  @ezekielbrockmann114  Ok, Jigsaw! lol

  36. This is cool, wish it were a bit longer. Home Adam and his band make more appearances on Rick's channel.

  37. I normally ignore the dislikes, knowing that videos with lots of views always get a few, but I'm genuinely curious as to why anyone who watched this gave it a thumbs down, these stories are the best and they have a valuable lesson embedded in them as well. So why the dislike? You hate music? You hate learning? You hate dads?

  38.  @RickBeato  They envy you.

  39. Okay, so this is a thing. Now you have to get Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee, and Adam Jones to show up on your channel. You've set a high bar!

  40. Great video and great tribute, Rick. Keep up the good fight.

  41. The whole list could be Bonham tunes. Maybe with a few Bill Ward tracks thrown in.

  42. I love great lyrics. Tales of Brave Ulysses by Cream. Subdivisions by Rush. Invincible by Tool. From Beyond by Sleep. I'm the President by Knower. If you have vocals and you give a damn about the music, you should treat the lyrics with the same intensity you treat the rest of the song.

  43. "Long form youtube videos are different." Are they really though? I waste ridiculous amounts of time on videos that are about 10 minutes long. 3 or 4 hours can go before you realize it, time I should be spending in the music room. And these aren't garbage videos, there is a lot of good stuff out there, it's just that I should be spending that time on other stuff.

  44. When I was growing up in Philadelphia, the football stadium was called "Veterans Stadium" in honor of veterans. We called it "The Vet". It got torn down and replaced by a nice modern stadium called "Citizens Bank Field", because bankers are more important than combat veterans. Remember those brave wealthy Citizens Bank bankers this July 4th!

  45. Great interview with a great musician. Also, I like this interview format, where you break it up to play or demonstrate the music being discussed, very cool!

  46. Rick, that piano piece was beautiful. I hope once you're satisfied with it you post it up on Bandcamp or SoundCloud, I'd definitely throw a couple of bucks toward a download. And the accompanying video makes it even better.

  47. I think of singers like Neil Young and Tom Petty, who weren't really great in-tune singers, which was part of why we like their songs. Modern production would autotune those guys to death and kill the appeal. Also, the fact that modern pop stars even use autotune in live performances is something I find grossly dishonest and in poor taste. They are ripping off their fans, and even if the fans know it they are conditioned to be okay with it. In recent years I've all but quit listening to rock radio in my car, because I can't name a single newer act that doesn't sound fake as hell due to overproduction, as if they're all making soundtracks for car commercials or something. I hear these things on the radio and think "there's no way a rock band can sound like that without lots and lots of processing help". Thus all the music I like is "underground"* and you have to go online to find them or go to local small time shows. *not really any such thing as true underground music anymore since the internet, but you know what I mean...

  48. This is great, Rick, keep up the good work! Interesting note about that drum track: Eddie Money's song Take Me Home Tonight (with Ronnie Spector) uses the same drum pattern during the saxophone break about 2 minutes into the song. I only know this because when I was a teenager in the 80s I remember my band's drummer pointing it out when it was on the radio one day. Useless fact for the day. I'm sure this pattern shows up in lots of places.

  49. The most influential rock band of all time is without question The Beatles. Period. I would say that the Yardbirds may have been the most fertile breeding ground for rock musicians, but their music has not even a fraction of influence of The Beatles, who still have young fans today almost five decades after they broke up.

  50. Thing I like about GC is that I can order something from them on line and pick it up or return it at the local store. And it's not like there aren't shitty "mom and pop" shops out there, though, some of them are run by idiots or assholes.
