January 27, 20232 yr Rick Beato channel is such a great way to waste time on the intertubes! Love how he educates all of us heathens about what is going on in the songs that we love and listen to!

I'd call myself a Rush fan, but I think of them as having a small group of outstanding songs (Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions and a few other) and then just of mix of good to blah. But Tom Sawyer alone gets them a pass from me... so damned good.

To me, my favorite is Limelight. It really captures who Neil Peart was. Uncomfortable with the whole rock star lifestyle, just a guy playing music and perfecting his craft until he couldn't any more. RIP Neil and RIP Rush. Edited January 29, 20232 yr by DalTxHornFan
March 27, 20232 yr rick has been a bit of a beating of late with some low quality stuff just pimping his shit non-stop...the sultans of swing video made me want to punch something. but this interview with vig was a harry and lloyd on their way to nebraska totally redeem yourself moment for me. great video and a down in the weeds interview. as someone still making his way up the learning curve on recording/engineering, i really enjoyed the geeking out in the first third about studio building. the deep dive on the process for nevermind was really, really enjoyable for me. i suspect that @Paul Wesley, @Goredho, @jimmyjazz, and @Chips O'Toole would enjoy it as well (though a lot may be older news to them).
March 27, 20232 yr I love how the first tune Rick plays is "I Am One". That is without a doubt my favorite Pumpkins tune, and it was the first song on their debut album, first thing I ever heard by the band. What a recording and what a performance.
March 27, 20232 yr Another great interview. I’ve always loved the DeLeo Bros. I honestly never knew Robert wrote most of the songs.

No doubt I mentioned this before, but that's never held me back: my band got a call from him in 1993. He had gotten hold of our demo tape. We were stoked -- oh shit, maybe it's happening! -- turns out he wanted to talk to our singer. He ended up flying her up to Madison and she worked with early Garbage for a while, one of those in the "rotating cast of singers" he referred to in that clip, before they found Shirley Manson (who honestly isn't as good a singer as ours was, but a whole lot better looking). To be honest, "Stupid Girl" is a fairly direct rip of one of our songs. We went to an attorney and he said "yeah, they lifted plenty of it, but you'll never win enough money to justify pursuing the case". Fuckers.

It's an old story, and whatever theft occurred, it surely wasn't the most egregious case in history. It's just kinda obvious when you consider the timelines involved.
March 28, 20232 yr scene opens five years into the future: jimmyjazz's daughter's band hits it global huge...billions of streams on spotify, apple, amazon, youtube. they do a sold out world stadium tour that would make taylor swift and the rolling stones blush. there is finally an heir apparent to the great american rock band of the 21st century. they write over 50 bangers and rival mccartney/lennon and bob dylan as the greatest songwriters of all time. beato invites proud parent of said superstars and fellow producer jimmyjazz on his show to discuss how he guided his daughter to become such a massive success and how he endured the process of expertly recording, mixing, and mastering without a doubt the world's worst fucking band in history...fastball...and even suggested a lyric line to try and rescue their awful, awful fucking album. "so jimmyjazz, as your fellow surlyite sidis characterized it in 2022, one of the tracks your daughter's early ouvre had some comparability to garbage's release 2.0...would you say that is a coincidence or would you say that you purposefully tried to influence your daughter's creative taste to mirror garbage tracks like 'stupid girl' because you were so inspired and moved by them at the time?" camera to jimmyjazz...
March 28, 20232 yr I'm sorry Garbage may or may not have ripped you off, but I would still go to town on 90's Shirley Manson without a second thought.
May 25, 20232 yr it is three hours long so i had to break it up but for me personally, this was fantastic. hearing the old stories on peter gabriel, bob dylan, emmylou, etc... was enjoyable...as well as some of the delving into the studio production nerdery.
May 31, 20232 yr His 2 and 3 hour videos have been killing me. I'll watch most anything he does, but if it's that long I really need to be into that interviewee. Break them down into smaller sections and I'm in, but I'm waaaaaaay behind on his channel lately.
July 7, 20232 yr I posted this in the comments of the Christopher Cross video. But you can see and hear the full solo live here:Telecaster + Earl Campbell is pretty much a big sell
July 7, 20232 yr I just looked up the lyrics. "Lived nine lives, gunned down ten." I might have to keep singing "Lived my life, Gunga Din."

August 1, 20232 yr We had Cross booked for a Texas frat party before his big song hit. His agent tried to get out of the gig unless we paid way more money. We said no. He and his band showed up but he was kind of a bitch -- played the minimum time and and didn't play any of his hits. Glad that he has done well since then. Edited August 1, 20232 yr by DalTxHornFan

December 9, 20232 yr For such an interesting channel & the way he gets various players (Eric Johnson, Robert Trujillo, Christopher Cross, etc) to talk nuts & bolts, DNA of various recordings or gear preferred / tweaked, etc., his "Billionaire" band was very pedestrian.I dig his channel but was not at all impressed by the band.

Glad to see him looking/feeling good after dealing with some serious health issues. Unfortunately it seems he won't be fully appreciated until he kicks the bucket. Texas music legend.

December 22, 20232 yr A few years ago he got COVID and then was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome and almost died.

His first album was the first 8 track I bought back in the 7th grade. What I never realized until I moved to Austin as he was friends with some friends of mine, was that he is an awesome guitar player and a really nice guy.

In that Beato interview (linked above) he tells some great stories. He said in the 70s there was a state law that a Texas band was required to play with any headlining acts when they toured here. He was in a band prior to hitting it big that opened for Zeppelin. I'm guessing he lived in Austin when Earl was playing in mid/late 70s, hence the Oilers 34 jersey.
