  1.  @timothyreff6750  Yeah, lots of Tool songs. Sober is a great one, too, bass chord city on a Rickenbacker!

  2. Love Carmen's voice. One of the best ever Beato vids was when you had her and her I9 guitarist on singing live. Made my hair stand on end.

  3. The Eagles should get exactly what they want: zero mentions, zero attention. Let them be forgotten by the Internet.

  4. Also, Sleep is a great power trio.

  5.  @tinaturnerization  "Whispers when she sings" Yeah, aside from the fact that you didn't pay attention to the video, which is filled with conventional singing, whispering into a mic is great if you can make it work, it's one of the great things about electric amplification. And Kurt was great, but he wasn't that much more special than any other rock star in the end. He had great talent, but deification is not healthy. Let's hope Eilish avoids the depression issues he had.

  6. Oasis and other Britpop bands are kind of in a different category, because they were very far separate from the American Seattle grunge scene and also from the LA bands like Tool. Oasis & Blur mostly had their fanbase in the UK. I was in high school in the 80s and I remember all of this happening in my early 20s. By the end of the 80s I was so sick of "glam metal" (we didn't call it hair metal until later) and was glad to hear new stuff, but I hated how the music industry just overnight killed off all the good along with the bad. Alt rock didn't get big on its own, it was made big by those running the business, and in 2000 it was made irrelevant by the same business.

  7. 2:38 The cover art on that Cityscape album is awesome.

  8. There is a punk band from Philadelphia called Spinechain who killed live when I saw them some years ago. I don't know if they are still around but I'd love to see them get some traction.

  11. Look up a 70s band called Fanny. They were awesome and should've been huge.

  12. Radio back in the 80s and early 90s was so much better. I used to work midnight shift and the rock stations would play deep cuts and longer songs at 2 AM, prog rock and instrumental stuff and stuff that hadn't been heard in years. And if you drove around the US, every city's stations were different and each city had a different "radio personality". New York sounded different than Philadelphia which sounded different than Baltimore or DC. Now it's all the same. You have to search the internet to find good music, but streaming is not the same as a radio broadcast. With radio, you know there are people in the cars around you listening to the same thing you are.

  14. Once again, Rick, another great interview. I never knew Andy played in Soft Machine, going to have to look that up.

  15.  @resignator  Disagree strongly.

  16. Yes, it's fun to watch Yngwie play fast. For like a minute. But ask a random person to name a single Yngwie song, then ask them to name as many Pink Floyd songs as they can. I can think of like 25 immediately. Virtuosity is not the same as musicality, and unlike the Olympics, music is an art, not an athletic event.

  17. I'd love to see Rick do one on Echoes. To me that's my favorite Floyd tune. Especially the Live at Pompeii version, that's pure music heaven right there.

  18. Would be funny if Rick Beato Live turned out to be a Blocker and blocked the Rick Beato channel.

  19.  @TheSanityInspector  Exactly. Tons of good music out there but you have to put effort into finding what you want.

  20. He has so many not-normal guitar solos to pick from. Afterimage from Grace Under Pressure is a solo played pretty much with just chords, and sounds so good.

  21.  @dcurry7287  Nick seems like the easiest one to get along with, but he's also protective of the Floyd's catalog. If he thought you were actually infringing I imagine he'd take action. I think Rick need not fear Mr. Mason. Record companies on the other hand...

  22. So many Tool songs to pick from.

  23. What makes this song great? It's Rush lol. It's a rainy morning where I'm at, but this makes my morning mood!

  24. Great breakdown, and lets me see the song in a different light. I remember when this song was all over the radio. Great instrumentation but I could never stand that guy's voice and all that rap rock stuff was so irritating to me, like Limp Bizkit. Too bad, because the bass and guitar on this song sound awesome.

  25. If I had a time machine one of the things I would do with it is give JS Bach a rack of synthesizer gear to do what he wants with.

  26. Hendrix thought of Clapton as his guitar god. I don't think people today get how highly regarded Clapton was in the 60s, probably thanks to some of the weaker pop stuff he's put out since the 80s, but part of Hendrix's agreement to go to England was that he got to meet and jam with Clapton.

  27. Kind of like how Geddy Lee's ability to scream was shot by the early 80s.

  30. You're missing Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles, 1979! This song is very important as it kickstarted the 80s and the video was the very first video MTV ever showed. Like Numan's Cars, it gets listed as an 80s hit but it's really a 70s song.

  31. The live in France 1970 version of Warpigs is basically Bill Ward destroying the world. Awesome.

  32. When I started playing bass as a teenager in the 80s my rig was a cheap Acoustic solid state head through a Peavey 2x15 cabinet. Wasn't the greatest sound in the world but it kept up with our guitarists, who were using pretty big rigs, one had an old Fender tube head and a 4x12 cabinet with Celestion speakers. If you touched his guitar strings it would shock you. Safety lol. My heavy Peavey bass cabinet was a bitch to haul up and down stairs but I did it regularly. We were not particularly loud as teenage bands in the 80s went. Now I'm in a band in 2019 and the guitar players are using 30-ish watt combos that get mic'd up, and my bass rig is an Ampeg Portaflex with a 2x10 cabinet. We sometimes get asked to turn down. In the 80s we got asked to crank everything.

  36. I'd be more interested in how they write crazy stuff like this, but yeah, this too. That said, Justin Chancellor is famous for keeping his pedal board secret. He reportedly puts unused pedals on his board as decoys so that photographing it won't tell you how he gets his bass sound lol.

  37. You may not be a huge country fan, and that's probably why you liked it.

  38. Similar thing with Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler's Sabbath riffs. The guitar riffs don't sound quite right without the bass filling in the missing part of the sound.

  40. First time I heard Imagine Dragons Radioactive on the radio I knew music was in trouble. They sound like a cheesy car commercial. Way overproduced and unnatural sounding, not like you'd imagine a real rock band sounding live at all. And since then our local "rock" radio station is chock full of this kind of slickly produced schlocky garbage. I'm sure the guys in that band are talented and all, but I tried hard to find something to like about it and just can't.

  42.  @twisantigo  So was her mom attractive? And did it become awkward when the song came on in her presence?

  43. I figured Alex Lifeson would pop up somewhere on this list, wasn't wrong.

  44.  @srgntpepper9855  Pink Floyd were hugely influenced by the Beatles. I remember seeing an interview with one of them, Roger Waters I think, where he said that when Sgt. Pepper album was released they played it on the radio and Floyd were touring in a van, said they pulled over to the side of the road and listened to it.

  45.  @dareangelmusic  The drummer in my band uses his smart phone. I don't know if he started doing it on purpose or just out of habit of taking his phone out whenever he sits down, but it works for him lol.

  46. They are definitely young and ill-informed. Rolling Stone has always been all about what's trendy, not what's good.

  47. I"m confused because the titles of some of your videos seem to change once or twice in the first day or so.

  48. It's like whiskey or anything else, you develop a taste for it over time, starting with that one jazz tune that catches your attention. For me it was Take Five by the Brubeck Quartet; that album was my gateway to all kinds of jazz. But I'm still a rock guy mainly.
