"And then we have the clown which hits the beer keg" is now my favorite bit of musical analysis
I had to rewind when I heard that. It made me do a double take. Did he just say a clown just hit a beer keg? 😆
with an aluminum bat!
@@misterknightowlandco yes lol
It's rumored they shipped the clown + keg to the studio for exclusively this part :D
Lmao best comment
Rick Beato treating Nu Metal with the same amount of reverence and respect as seventies Classic Rock is very special to watch.
He is even kind to some of today's stuff when he does his current top 10 reviews. He focuses on the things in the music he likes, on what is working, and leaves the rest out. I would watch this guy if he went on tour with this commemtary and a a cover band. No doubt
Each like is a person who would buy a ticket to watch RB do this same breakdown live with a cover band and a set list. I will like my own comment.
duality doesn't really have the nu metal elements that some other slipknot songs have, but point taken
It deserves to be treated like any other genre
That isn’t nu metal lol
“And then we have the clown which hits the beer keg.”
Why couldn’t we hear the isolated track for that?
David Nissim 😆🤣😂👊🏻
Hardly lol'd
Bang... Bang... Bang next chorus later Bang
TABS PLEASE
i think it may be because protools can't isolate the drum kit and both percussionists lines as 3 seperate percussion recordings. though I may be wrong, I have no idea how pro tools works
R.I.P Joey. The drumming on this album is immaculate, some of the best drumming on any metal album imo.
Without a doubt
only topped by Iowa imo
I don't listen a lot of Slipknot, not my favourites but the drumming is very memorable. So unique.
Joey left his infinite mark on 'modern' drumming. A short, tiny, soft spoken guy when you meet him, but a crazed powerhouse behind the kit!
And how sick is the fact that he wanted to be a guitar player in this band he was starting with his buddy Paul Gray? Lucky for us that didn't work out, so Joey & Paul regrouped and started a new group, named it 'Slipknot' and made it work this time.
These two probably started a new band, wherever they are (or might be). But if you hear me, guys-thank you for Slipknot & the other kinds of music you gave us over the years,
and thank you even more for the motivation, inspiration and the proof that dreams do come true sometimes... 🤘

What makes this RUclips channel great? EP.1: RICK BEATO
What makes RUclips great?
EP.1: RICK BEATO
Im counting the subs everyday i hope he can clear that 1 mil mark and beyond he should be a national treasure for how much work hes put out and thr kind of appreciation he had for truly great music. I'm never bored with his vids.
The song is rick beato by rick beato coming up next
i really love the range of genres he covers, this guy rules!
Most the stems from the songs he does can be obtained from Rock Band.
Rest in peace Joey Jordison and Paul Gray
I was hella bummed out to hear Paul had passed, but Joey... It's almost too much.
May they rest in Power... always remembered and adored when here with us.
Fantastic drummer. RIP
this is basically what i do after a few beers, trying to explain to my girlfriend why the song is so good.
You sound like a fun person to have a beer with!
(Just to clarify, that isn’t sarcasm)
@@AAllinsonNN Appreciate it. Im working on getting a live stream going for this very reason.
And our girlfriends will always hate us for that!😂🤣
RIP Joey Jordison.
Amazing 😂😂😂
I love that Rick had a #1 country song, plays jazz and classical guitar, and yet is enthusiastic to jam to some Slipknot.
Matt Muchowski what was his #1 county song?
LiamGuitar Parmalee - Carolina
He co wrote multiple songs on Shinedown's debut
@@cagaming9724 NO?! seriously??
He did
He has or had a plaque for the record
-“I’m in an awesome band”
-“what do you play”
-“...the keg”
its an iowa thing
@@dustinshadle732 It's probably a paycheck thing now.
"why don't you do anything else?"
"Why would I want do anything else?"
The keg is just a piece of thier set they play actual drums and do backing vocals. Shawn also does alot of the video directing and producing and what not
The whole band was Clown's idea. His musical contribution is small on stage but he has a hand in everything else. Writing, organisation, stage dressing, finance. You name it.
@@AngusMcIntyre lol the idea of the band wasn't just clown..the idea of the masks was his idea but between clown joey and Paul they were the ones that made slipknot now its juat the corey and Shawn show
God, mixing Slipknot would be a nightmare.
Hats off to those guys.
I'm studying to be a producer and a regular band is enough of a challenge to me already. I cannot imagine the expertise it takes to perfectly, but naturally, mix Slipknot's music.
The Best band in the world 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@rubronegro6490no sir, that title belongs to the D... Tenacious D!
Joey Jordinson mixed the whole first album on tape (and drummed on it!)
Slipknot doesn't get enough credit as musicians. This type of video shows , these guys know what they're doing
You only need to listen to one or two songs by Stone Sour to realise that Corey's talent far surpasses the "generic metalhead" label people are always slapping on him.
I remember as a 12 or 13 year old being scared at first when I heard this, then curious and eventually mesmerised. Theres a level of depth and premeditated coherency in their songs that most bands just can't achieve, but its also not making any false promises about being accessible. Its like "this is happening to your ears now whether you like it or not" and I always loved that about slipknot
Its like all their songs are filled to bursting with these tiny moments of excellent musicianship (or production) that go over the average listeners head...
I keep telling people that Mick and Jim are sorely underrated guitarists. Mick recording gematria is freaky, worth a watch if you haven’t already
people think metal is just noise
@@alexylophoney All music is just noise 🙏
@@Pegarexucorn yea lol\
Slipknot gets discounted by some in the metal community for being simple and just a gateway band. It's always nice when someone that knows what they are talking about shows how they actually are pretty talented songwriters.
When Slipknot first became big I dismissed them as the new Korn as I'd had enough of that. Years later I've come back to them and realised how much of a fool I was to discount them.
One of the bands I listened to as a younger person that still sounds really good to me today.
I thought they were alright. Then l saw them live for the first time...
Mix breakdowns like this really shows u how creative and technical Slipknot really are!
@CrashFlicks l've seen them about 4 times. Awesome show.
Playing slipknot with a les paul. Absolute madman.
playing -slipknot- with a les paul. Absolute madman.
*P L A Y A U T H E N T I C*
Jim Root is the real mad man, using a Jazzmaster to play metal...
@@elmle2525 gives me nightmares, and I don't mind
@@elmle2525 his signature Jazzmasters and Tele's are absolutely badass guitars. Completely out of my price range, but the Squier Tele gets you damn close and only is a nice thorough setup and an EMG 81/60 swap away from feeling and sounding like the authentic Fender. The only thing missing is the ebony fretboard, which is a deal breaker to some, but it's not often I'm finding myself touching the freboard at all on jumbo fret guitars.
I love how Corey Taylor can turn his voice on a dime from a scream to perfect singing with no gap.
That, my friend, is called editing. And no, we aren't friends. How dare you?
@@veritog.2799 He does it live, my friend.
@@veritog.2799 You're right about one of those things
When he singled out those pinched harmonics
Exquisite 👌
The excitement on this guys face describing the music makes it that much more enjoyable ...
I don't even listen to Slipknot, haven't ever liked them, but I have an entirely new appreciation for at least this song after this video. I can't help but grin at the mounting, childish delight on Rick's face as he deconstructs the musical complexity of a song from a band who have never impressed me as recreating anything more than the sound of garbage disposals being fed into a wood chipper.
Limlaith LOL I love Slipknot, but thats was a funny description.
"The clown which hits the beer keg" That.....is actually exactly what happens there. Perfect analysis.
One thing I've always loved about Slipknot is the combination of a "raw" quality (kegs and percussion and chugging riffs) and yet there is still technicality and flare there if you really pay attention. They're almost like.. an angry all-American freight train where all the parts come together in harmony to create controlled chaos. The parts are delightfully "rusty" on purpose but goddamn is it ever driving you forward.
This song is a straight masterpiece.
R.I.P Joey and Paul Gray
Sid Wilson is a genius when it come to blending scratching with metal and not make it sound cheesy. He makes the band even more brutal.
I would totally disagree since Slipknot sounds COMPLETELY cheesy to me.
@@djjazzyjeff1232
and what worth does your opinion hold exactly?
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 Isn't that the whole point of a comment section? To discuss things?
@@djjazzyjeff1232 I think it's just a matter of musical taste 'cause they sound great to me, specially here on duality.
For sure, Purity is probably the best example
Does Rick Beato remind anyone else of Anthony Bourdain?
Yeah. A bit.
Yeah. Quite a lot.
Yes, I had to do a double take
I actually thought it was Anthony until I saw the guitar in the first thumbnail I saw and I clicked the video because of it. lol
With a little bit of John Gotti mixed in.
Rick enthusiastically rocking out to Slipknot is worth watching itself.
At 15:40 he got so enthusiastic analyzing this song that he decided to play live with the band. You can see Rick getting more and more pumped up by the layers of the song throughout the whole video. Such cool enthusiasm!
I admire your appreciation for multi generational metal and rock so humbly while being so talented youself
Absolutely
your's self
@@guilhermetonon7267 yourself
You should definitely do one for Gojira! Flying whales, stranded, or silvera are all really good ones.
The Art of Dying
Anything Gojira would do. Err, please Mr Rick?
UP
Nothing Is Sacred flying whales is an incredible song!
Yesssss
joeys drumming was so precise, everything was played for a reason,
Joey is a god
as an Iowan, I've been sick of hearing about Slipknot for 15+ years, but Rick worked his magic and somehow made me appreciate this song.
Disappointed you didn't wear a mask and attempt the vocals 😅
LOLZ !!!
LOL!!!
Kevin Fitzpatrick 🤣
Anyone have an Over/Under for the first KISS song episode ?
Trying Vol. 3 vocals would be terrible
Rick, the breadth of your musical taste and intelligence is truly amazing!
Joey jordison is a pretty damn underrated drummer for someone who started as a guitarist and then just casually started drumming cause he had to.
I had no idea. That's awesome
Holy crap really???? And he did all that???? What a freakin awesome dude
not true. he started playing drums at 8yrs old and played drums in numerous bands when he was younger but also never stopped playing guitar during that time. idk where you got your info but its not correct. he's been a drummer since childhood and never "had" to be a drummer. even wikipedia states the same thing
When you hear some of his work like Disasterpiece, it’s clear that he was born to drum more than play guitar.
Check out Metallica from the Download Festival where Joey sat in on drums :-O
And after spending the last hour listening to some Slipknot I came to this video to check it out again. RIP Joey Jordison
Thank you for finally highlighting the point of the clown and the DJ in Slipknot’s overall sound. It’s always been a bit of a mystery to me but hearing the isolated tracks makes it quite clear
stoltobot I listened to a lot of Slipknot growing up in the early 2000’s and they were on TV a lot in my house on Kerrang and Scuzz (good old England). I remember having this argument extensively with my dad about it being part of the overall sound and not just so they could have their friend come on stage and have something to do.
Part of me thinks he was just trying to rile me, now I think back.
@@s4tchm0j0n3s Not to mention the 'friend on stage' is basically the original creator and director of all things Slipknot, too :P
Reason to Rule All He's definitely a good friend 😁
Clown is their band leader and musical director.
stoltobot poor Craig is only heard once in Slipknots discography, and it’s in this intro. I dare you to tell me where else you here him. Also, if you listen to Slipknots first self titled album, Sid (he’s the dj) is all over the place
Talking about heavy music, it would be nice seeing an episode on Gojira
yes
omg YES, FUCK YES
Yes!
GOJIRA holy balls yes!
Yes pls, id give a thousand likes to this comment
Holy shot Corey's scream at the start gave me chills. Absolutely amazing
I always liked to sing “Olive Garden’s insane” on the bridge
You made me go and check the lyrics again😂😂
HAHAHAHAHA
I like to sing "Inside Michelle I wait and bleed" in "Wait and Bleed". 😂
Olive Garden's in Spain
You’re one of the few channels where I actually look forward to your next uploads.
Irresponsible rumor - Rick secretly is a member of Slipknot..? 🤷♂️
The new member!????
He's behind the mask of the new member
Rev Red Beard He’s Tortilla Man confirmed
No. How could he be in both Metallica AND Slipknot?
The Otter Lord Crap!!!! You’re right!!!
Him isolating Sid's parts I think could make people realize that him and Craig don't just stand around pretending to do something. They do a lot, even still. Often times Sid's scratches and Craig's samples are just so well mixed and blend perfectly with the song it takes such an ear to notice them.
Jesus, never noticed all those extra little background notes and sounds until it was pointed out. Its insane how much they add a fullness to the instruments. And yes, RIP Paul.
Whoa!! I got goosebumps when you soloed Paul Gray’s bass guitar. Something about his playing that made him so damn heavy! We miss you Paul!!
#2 \m/
Besides the tone, I think it's the fact that it's not perfect. There's mistakes in there. A little buzz. A note that's juuuuuust off beat. It makes it human. There's a bunch of Cliff Burton solo'd tracks on youtube and you hear the same thing. It's not quantized, it's not on a grid.
F
RIP #2 😢
RIP #1 and #2
Never knew Sid scratched in that intro to go along with the guitars. Great breakdown, I didn’t realize how much layering is going on with this song.
Music lovers should be able to appreciate all forms. It's all art. It's bad ass.
Spot on..wonderful art is music!
Ive often thought that there are people who listen to music and just stick to what they like the most. And then there are people who appreciates music as a whole and will listen to anything they like the sound of.
Truth! Especially as you age, your tastes should expand....I have a burning desire to simply hear great sounds put together with feeling and purpose - that simple! No labels or popular attitudes should sway anyone from liking what they like....except Polka...I just don't get it. Great post!
5:30 I’ve been listening to this song for 15 years and never knew Sid had a part there. So badass.
We need more Slipknot in "What Makes This Song Great?". You're killin' it brother.
CharlieTiVi I would love to see him do “Killpop”.
Well the thing about Slipknot... Is the GREAT songs... Are a bit much for the show. Not a fan of THE singles. They are fine, catchy, but I'm one of the ST, Iowa, and .5 maggots. I love Stone Sour, I love a lot of the more melodic and soft moments of Slipknot. It's just those two middle albums that have a lot of elements that drive me away. But they've been on a ROLL lately, which tickles me pink.
He would run out of great songs too quicly
Never thought Rick Beato was into Slipknot👀👌
A good song is a good song whether you're into a certain band or not. There's lots of songs I love and respect from various groups/artists but I'm not into the rest of the artist's material at all. The beauty of music.... :)
Never know what you'll hear in this series, that's what makes it great.
@@josephmarshall6599 He _did_ also pull out a signature snare from the bands previous drummer
Your point still stands but..... It is pretty reasonable after seeing this to think this dude digs the band, at least a bit
@@slipknot95maggot this "dude" digs pretty much all of the music I've went through my entire life ^^ (although there are some holes, which might be due to him being a producer... a species with a natural tendency towards music involving production skills)
my taste convergence towards jazz led me to this channel years ago. But man, do I love the flashbacks this series is giving me every once in a while.
@@slipknot95maggot Right. By no means was I attempting to speak on anyone's behalf just my own thoughts in general. :)
I'd love to see him break down Gojira.
Jinjer also. Pieces.
Same, he should do "Heaviest matter of the universe"
Oh, yes please 👋👋
Yes, Gojira please!
The Art of Dying
Dear lord, this brings to light how absolutely insanely talented these guys are as musicians and song writers. Unbelievable depth to this I never fully appreciated till now. Also, I could listen to Paul Gray just play bass with drums all day.
Meshuggah next? I'd love to hear your point of view on their rhythms :) Thanks for the knowledge and the music Rick!
Fuck yes!!! DO IT!!!!
+ 1 on meshuggah
Any Swedish metal from the 90's would be great ! At the gates, dark tranquillity, meshuggah
Nikos Maniatis BLEEEEEEEED!!!!!
Just don't do bleed or one of their morw popular songs. Do something off chaosphere, destroy erase improve or the nothing album. Id love to get a breakdown of concatenation
14:44 When the air drums kicks in you know it's good music!
R.I.P. Joey
Truly one of the most powerful drummers ever.
Long live the knot
Ok. I am listening to this song since it came out. And I never...NEVER!!! heard that there are scratches and sampling in the background. Never. I am still laughing at myself because after all those years I still learn about music.
Thank you.
Same
whaaaaaaat????? thats crazy!!!!! Like what did you think the dude behind the turntables was doing this whole time?? :P
Some might call them... subliminal
Anyone who says they knew about and could hear those scratching samples are lying for sure, it's literally barely even noticeable. Although it does add to the final mix
@@MASTAHMELO wait are you serious? Again, i ask you, what did you think the guy on the turntables was doing this whole time? So just to explain my experience. When i first bought the album, and listened to every track, they came out with music videos for some of the songs, during that year of release. I dont know about you, but even back then, I sometimes listened to the music i liked, with headphones on. So with headphones, if you know anything about music, there is no way you could not hear and notice the mixing in the background.
Furthermore, I've seen this band live, since back in 97' in small venues, as well as large venues, and when watching them live, there is no denying it. Its right there, and you can hear it.
So, nobody is lying to you, ok? just because you didnt hear it, and also never put two and two together, after watching a video or even thinking about perhaps, what instruments to all these crazy play? or are they just hype men who run around the stage like at an ICP show?
You know, some people think about these things, and its ok that you didnt. Its good that you know now, but accusing people of lying over something this not only well known for years, but alos fucking OBVIOUS, if you ever watched one of their videos, where they are all performing like would a live show, sheesh..
Like really, you think that a person who is on the turntables in a metal band, just pretends to scratch or something for that "hood clout" ??? Ive got so many questions now. 😃🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:30
Great, didn't know that my wall drilling neighbour took part in Slipknot record.
The turntable thing reminds me a lot of what you talked about during the Blink 182 episode. You can barely here the octave synth in the chorus of All The Small Things, but it adds the oomph and body to that melody.
14:04 That sudden isolation of Paul's bassline is sick
I didn’t even know Sid put his stuff in this song ; wow , blowing my little mind
Doesn't matter who the band is Rick makes these videos informative and fun to watch. Best series RUclips!
Affirmative sir
Perfect timing for Slipknot at the Download Fest! Don’t let the mud keep you away!
Paul Gray was an absolute genius and an outstanding musician - rest in peace dude.
and Joey is now jamming with him again up there... RIP
"Pulls you down to the tonic." is such a good saying, perfectly describes how you feel when you're listening to the song.
I’ve known this song since it came out and never noticed Sid’s turntable part during the main riff. Wild

@@josephmarshall6599 ....my boss said that to me this morning...I thought I'd share with some random person in the comments section! Have a good day man✌
People don’t give Craig enough credit in the band. He was one of longest serving members and helps record and mix the band. He also uses samples, pads,MIDI,keyboards and synths to add to the music and atmosphere.
Clown comes into studio
Producer: We need you to hit that keg with a metal bat once
BAM!
Producer: Ok we’ll loop,the rest thanks for coming in. Wait. Is he even in the band?
Jack Knife tbh, he is the band. The whole vision of the band is his
I Like Trains what?
derrek mcfarlane I suppose he talks about that idea to start a band was his, Pauls and Joey’s as I remember
He also plays timpanis to double the bass drum and toms of the main kit, and snare work. And a lot of the writing. And well, he also started the band lol.
Акежан Толеухан I think we would agree that Shawn is a dick, but Shawn did start Slipknot with Paul and Craig.
I can die happy. You did an episode for Slipknot.
God, I could listen to the rhythm section part at 9:48 for HOURS.
There is a video of Paul Gray and Roy Mayorga playing Duality just on drums and bass.
@@stephenstone9325 You're kidding. Link me brotha.
@@ronaldinho4eva1 if you search Paul Gray behind the player you should find it
Yeah, I made that my ring tone.
It is really good. Never noticed how tasty it is
Definitely one of the RUclips channels out there. Rick's knowledge to tear down songs piece by peice like a surgical scalpel is truly commendable. I'm sure the band themselves learn a lot about their own songs when they watch his channel. Great content, absolutely brilliant.
The isolated verse drums and bass at 9:51 sounds so groovy! Kinda sounds like a catchy anime opening tbh lol
God, I miss Paul and Joey.
15:41 I love the transformation at the end of the video. Rick goes from talking about Slipknot to being in Slipknot. Rick you’re cool as hell!
Never much of a Slipknot fan, but man when dissected it was very interesting. Great playing but mostly loved the layering and careful development. Can learn a lot
Great as always!
Wish I could "like" this video twice. The way you break down songs really makes me appreciate the music that much more.
This is why I love this series.
I always thought this was one of their simpler songs, till you take it all apart one by one.
Hell yes, Duality! That song brings me back, it's what introduced me to them in the first place.
Same.
It's what got me into metal in general.
This was the second song I heard from them, after Before I Forget on Guitar Hero III, and like Gary these were what got me into metal.
Dude what the hell.
Rick.
You literally cover my favorite songs from bands.
Symphony of Destruction is a gimme, but Duality?
And those are just two of many!
Holy hell, I love hearing all these breakdowns for my favorite music!
Thanks Rick!
Yeah, generally he does the most popular songs by bands. Most popular tends to equal best.
Well yeah, he talks about the most popular songs, and those are usually most people's favourites. It doesn't mean that most popular=best, though, because that's subjective, there are other reasons why they're popular
@@Rassalcon I would definitely argue that there are more popular Slipknot songs than Duality - most certainly, though it still is a very popular one!
@@effiemars_ i did not say popular= best, i said it tends to. and while i agree that popular songs are not popular because they are good, i would say the big hits of good bands are often regarded as the best by most people. if only because they are the songs that get played a lot.
@@blackie126 Maybe saying that rick chooses early big hits would be better
You broke this song down perfectly. It's complete madness and lots of crazy fun, which is why people love it so much. Seeing Slipknot live and experiencing this song with an audience in which I had so much fun jumping like crazy that I forgot my joint pain helped me understand why I love this song a lot. Then having your video get made so I can constantly enjoy the fun of this song just made today awesome! Thank you for putting into words and examples what I cannot, because I'm not exactly a musician; I just really love music.
As a guitarist of 15 years, and an avid metal fan. I absolutely love the way you break down music in general, explain why and how these things sync together. You're very experienced in what you do, it shows in how fluid you're explanations. Please, keep doing what you're doing!
Full-on "metal Beato" in the end. He's just so happy making this videos, my favorite you tube channel ever.
THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT please Rick. Literally any track. Genius songwriting, expert musicianship and stunning production
Leon tales of mystery and imagination
Rick, thank you SO MUCH for these great analyses. Also, we’re so fortunate to have you refer to the multi-tracks, soloing things individually in a mix over heard a million times gives me new insight into these songs I love. Keep up the great work and thank you!
I’m glad someone loves Corey’s screams in Duality as much as I do.
yeah, people need to give each member of the band more credit. Especially what Sid adds to the sound is underrated. Not even adding some cool stuff to the riff here in Duality, he adds some to the drums in Psychosocial I never realized until I saw him infront of me doing it live.
I can never again hear that song without thinking of Psychosocial Baby
And what’s wrong with being reminded of a masterpiece
Sid wilson was such a nice mix to their sound
Was?
Too many bands with a dj overuse the turntables to the point of being obnoxious. The passing observer might wonder what Sid was adding because he was for the most part,so subtle. Yet if you take his parts away you'd gut the slipknot sound.
One of the best channels on YT... period. I always come away from a Beato vid knowing something I didn't before. Thank you Rick!
Its so much easier to get behind a video of someone who so clearly just loves music of all kind.
He sees music so much deeper than probably 98% of us which is so cool.
Ive been a slipknot fan since self titled came out and been to 6 of their shows but I've never myself even seen the actual complexity to their songs broken down like this before.
For me the most eye opening was how involved with everything Sid is.
Slipknot is such a great band for this series, I’d love to hear more of these on them
You are awesome for breaking it all down. I've been a Slipknot fan for many years and never heard most of what you uncovered. Keep this type of stuff going, man ..pure gold !!
This song is a can of whoop ass! So intense whether it's the almost whispering intro or the shouting crescendos the power and feel is unmatched.
I can't listen to songs without your voice in mind guiding me through it anymore. Studio guys who put all of it together are great artists just as much as the musicians.
how can we humble mortals get those isolated tracks you use to analyze the song?
You need the master-track and a program to open it.
@@TheSinou123 would fl studio work?
@@SickNastyWithIt idk tbh just google it.
HITTMAN pro tools would be good for it
He is using the Pro Tools software that he used in this episode. The software has the ability to separate each of the instruments and vocals out like he is doing. It really is very neat technology. I'd imagine it is quite expensive to purchase.
Rick your enthusiasm for all things music is endearing and contagious, I stopped playing guitar regularly in 2014 and since watching your videos I have not missed a day of practice in two months!
I never get tired of seeing a music professional savouring bits and pieces of a whole song
I love the dedication that this guy puts into his videos right down to actually adding the band members number to the sequence when he talks about which guitar player did what he actually refers to them as their band number in Slipknot that's awesome
Rick I love your air drums. Never change! haha!
Rick, we need a WMTSG for a Dream Theater song. Might I suggest The Dance of Eternity?
Nah. Maybe Metropolis Pt1 or Learning To Live, they embody the Dream Theater style way better. Well, the perfect choice would actually be A Change of Seasons, but you know, that's too much.
@@marius9372 Wouldn't mind any of these songs either!
Take the time, my dudes
Emilio Marchant Couldn’t agree more
@@CDirk1 that would be sick!
That was brilliant and your passion for this song and Joeys drumming really shone through. RIP JJ
Keeping the panning of the track into the relevant speakers is such a great touch, super helpful love the vids
Rick, you make music I don't like more interesting for me :) Thank you!
Ikr?!? I don't even really like Slipknot but the way this wizard man explains it, makes me like this song now!
Everybody learns when they expose themselves to things they don't normally engulf themselves in. Rick is a treasure indeed! Good day guys!
The fact Rick seems to appreciate almost every style of music helps with this too.
I love how there are techniques in music that can't be defined, even by a pro like Rick, but can only be labeled as "heavy" \m/
Been watching a bunch of these What Makes This Song Great episodes. Thank you, Rick! Gives me a new appreciation for these songs that I love and I am having a blast listening to them with a new perspective. Keep it up, sir!!
Just watching you play guitar on this made my day. Love seeing you genuinely enjoy playing it, and appreciate the gambit of music you dissect.
