  1. Chris Squire's bass tone is the gold standard for me. That lineup of Yes was unbeatable. And I never realized that guitar part was backwards, wow!

  2.  @MJ-xk5ts  Highlight it and hit CTL-C?

  3.  @BillMellow  1984 is such a killer album, the last true VH album and one of the greatest rock albums of the 80s.

  5. I'm jealous of anyone who got to see Zep live. Savor it!

  6. Tool managed to go 13 years between records and when the new one came out in 2019 it was a pretty big deal. When I went to the show it was a lot of dads bringing their kids, which was kind of weird to a GenX'r like me. A Tool show in the early 90s was a dirty mosh pit of teens and 20-somethings and nobody in their right mind would take a child there.

  8.  @kingoftheworld5753 So why didn't Perry have one just like him?

  9. I think you can hear it during the triplets in Moby Dick, too. Been a while since I listened to it, but I remember hearing it in more than one place.

  10.  @jimfritz9503  The music from "The Thing" 1982 is as terrifying as the movie.

  11. Right on.

  12. I grew to hate this song back in the day, too, but if you listen to the whole album, it's good in context. Same goes for songs like Stairway to Heaven or Money; they are on such awesome albums they sound good again.

  13. Only on days when it's not Sabbath riffs.

  15. He can probably even do it without his pants (but I for one would prefer not to see that on his channel).

  16. The bass line is what makes Down in a Hole stand out. Especially if you listen to the unplugged version.

  18. Great video, love the bass! Of course we could argue about this all day. For example, I love JPJ's bass parts on stuff like Ramble On, but always thought the tone was dead and muddy. My favorite JPJ bass tone would be from Achilles Last Stand or Nobody's Fault But Mine. And Geddy? His Rickenbacker tones are the best to me, especially on the Hemispheres and Farewell to Kings albums. Cinderella Man and Circumstances are still killer crushing bass tones, and of course that riff during the guitar solo in The Necromancer is one of the heaviest things Rush ever did.

  19. 80s kid here. I try to forget that movie existed lol

  20. What Makes This Bassist/Musician Great

  21.  @Zundfolge  Sure, but making enough money is almost as hard as getting famous. And while it's probably true that many artists don't care about becoming gigantic celebrity famous, it would be nice to at least be an influence on future music rather than just being completely forgotten about the moment you quit or die. Not everyone gets to be JS Bach unfortunately.

  22.  @Markle2k  No, we didn't.

  23. FrF Grace Under Pressure is one of their best albums, very underrated. When it came out in 1984 a lot of their old school 70s fans didn't like it because it was too synthy and 80s sounding but it is a masterpiece.

  26. That latin beat is called the "Dem Bow Riddim" and it's been around forever. Apparently original thoughts are not values in that genre. I always liked how hiphop is all about coming up with new beats, but whatever that Latin genre is called these days is just monotonous.

  29. Just for fun somebody should autotune a Rick Beato monolog, like all those "autotune the news" videos ten years ago lol.

  30. OMG I almost forgot about those Shreds vids! About Whiplash, though, the thing about movies like this is that musicians were going to hate on it no matter how "realistic" it was. This is not a movie for snobs and nitpickers of technical details, it's a movie that uses a fictional music school setting to tell a good story about obsession on the part of both a student and his teacher, and how destructive it can be. Fletcher is obviously a manipulative, abusive jerk, but Neiman is also a horrible person, and actually chooses to be so, showing his family disrespect, ditching his girlfriend as an abstraction, and deliberately buying into Fletcher's worldview, almost like Anakin Skywalker choosing to follow Palpatine. He deliberately lets Fletcher help him ruin his life for the dream of being the greatest drummer. It is pretty funny that he admires Buddy Rich, who was a top notch asshat in real life, as abusive as Fletcher and an opinionated jerk to boot. Anyway, it's not a movie for musicians. Nobody cares what musicians think. It's a movie for people who love good storytelling.

  35. I played once with a guitarist who was always too loud and would get all butthurt when the venue asked him to turn down. If people are holding their ears and leaving when you play, you need to get a clue. That counts for rehearsal; I shouldn't need a hearing exam after every practice. On top of that he once broke a string on a Strat and tried to finish the song with his guitar horribly out of tune, then we had to stop and wait for him to change a string and tune up, on stage, at full volume. I was so embarrassed I almost quit the band on the spot. Fortunately he quit not long after that. How many pet peeves is that? Here's another one: I play bass, and I've had idiot guitarists tell me my bass is too loud, even when my amp is turned off. Here's another one: young metalhead guitarists who want to shred like Yngwie but can't play a simple 12 bar blues.

  36. Stuff like this keeps this channel alive and interesting. I'll probably never play Pat Matheny's guitar stuff, but I enjoy studying chords, and I enjoy watching Rick geek out over it.

  37. Ligeti for the win.

  38. This is awesome, actually having one of the band members in the vid. Now, do this with Alex Lifeson! I really didn't know much about this band, but it reminds me of some of the best 80s metal, the beat, vocals, harmonized guitars, and that bass tone is like Queensryche on one of their good days.

  39.  @genephillips4809  Right. Then, in a couple of years, when ads start showing up on Premium, you can upgrade to "Super Premium" and on and on.

  40. After the Fire's cover of Der Kommissar needs to be on this list. The writer, Falco, was pretty well known, but his best song became a hit in the US when it was covered.
    3
  41. Even better, Geddy's Ric live tone on, say, Exit Stage Left, or his studio tone on Circumstances. Legendary bass sound, wish he had never quit using that bass. Let me also add the tone from Countdown, the last Rush studio track to feature Geddy's Rickenbacker, and a glorious tone it is.

  42.  @mightyV444  As I've grown older I appreciate Grace Under Pressure more and more as the masterpiece that it is. It's now one of my favorite albums and represents that part of the 80s perfectly. The bright sound and the dark themes and the sophisticated music that puts it above most of the New Wave era.

  43. I always thought one the things that makes Hell's Bells a great song was that steady A under the main riff, which is played on guitar at the beginning and then the bass line picks it up, it ground the song and drives it like an unstoppable freight train. Also, that piece in the beginning of this vid? Can we all agree that J.S. Bach is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, musicians of all time? Can you imagine how awesome it would be for him to be alive today doing movie soundtracks and stuff? Bach never fails to make my hair stand on end.

  44. Can Rick actually play that bad?

  45. Surprised to see so many decent tracks for once.

  46. Dazed and Confused was a Yardbirds cover, which was Page's old band. He started Led Zeppelin as a way of restarting the Yardbirds but they changed their name to Led Zeppelin and became a new band.

  47. My band covered this song and I don't think any of us really noticed all these little details, this is great. I play bass, so I don't really pay too much attention to the guitar parts, but it's fascinating to see what that second rhythm guitar is doing, playing the third on the E chord, and the whole thing with the delay on the piano is fantastic. Thanks for helping us get through Quarantine 2020, Rick!

  48.  @mightyV444  I don't think Moving Pictures is all Jazz, is it? I thought for sure Camera Eye is a Rickenbacker, and maybe Red Barchetta? Sounds like it anyway. As far as I've heard, his last studio use of the Rickenbacker was on Signals. Subdivisions, Analog Kid, and Countdown are Rickenbacker. I think the rest is the Jazz. Exit Stage Left there is no question, a sublime sound.

  49. Well, she is a huge figure in modern jazz. And also a killer bass player.

  50. A Lerxst fan thread? Count me in! And my pick for obscure Lifeson solo would be Between the Wheels.
