- There aren’t any other musicians quite like Beck. Born Bek Campbell, the indie musician incorporates all kinds of genres into his work, and he completely does his own thing, refusing to follow trends or be more mainstream. It’s definitely worked, as he has a Grammy to his name and continues to find success today.
But how much do you know about the man behind the unique music? From the time he decided to mock the rules of the American Music Awards to the fascinating story behind his breakthrough hit, it’s time to take a look at the truth about Beck.

What do you think of the new Beck album?
I think it's pretty excellent. It's a breakup album by way of space exploration music, and I didn't expect to like it as much as I do.
Junk
Who the fuck is “Beck” ???
@@budrowe176 Boi
@@budrowe176 millennial, get the fuck out.
in 2015 he won album over Beyonce lemonade and people were mad UGHHHH , her album was produced by many many people and songs written by many many people while Beck's Morning Phase all songs written by Beck, he also played acoustic guitar, kayboards, electric guitar, piano, tambourine, electric bass , ukulele, harmonica,synthesizer,oragan and that is why he deserved the win , this man is talented beyond
Yeah, but when it comes down to the quality of the albums, the Beyoncé once was definitely better. I’m not even a diehard Beyoncé fan, but a good Beyoncé album is better than one of Beck’s weaker records
Beyoncé shouldn’t even be in a category with Beck. Her music is just top 40 crap. Becks music is Indie. No comparison.
@@tylersquanto8938 Beck is an artist, Beyonce is a product. She won a grammy for best song of the year for "Put a Ring on it". Does that seem valid to you. Best song out of every song for a whole year...Put A Ring On It....? I apologize to those whom I may anger but club music doesn't deserve grammys. It's made to dance to not listen to. It has nothing to do with good music.
@@tylersquanto8938 clearly you've no idea what quality means
Not people. Just Thiefyonce fans who consider her crap to be good music.
He said he's no longer a Scientologist.
Thank Zandaloo!! or whoever
Link?
@@RB3Vids you can find it. Sorry but I'm tired of looking up links for people anytime I point something out. 😂 Google!
@@jmpsthrufyre I believe it's Xenu... But I don't think they like him, he's the bad guy who dumped the alien souls into the volcano on Earth in ancient times that eventually latched onto homo sapiens and their past trauma is what causes our problems and only the scientologists have the tools to get rid of these ancient alien souls, what they call thetans. I think that's the gist of it anyway, I don't really care anymore to be honest.
@@LilDroidBlue Hmmm. That would make an alright science fiction novel. And Thetans sound a bit like Sleestacks. Which are just as likely to be real given the stringent criteria to start a religion. It sounds like you have done quite a bit of research on Scientology, or have first hand experience. Were you involved with it? If you don't mind me asking?
Odelay, Sea Change, and Morning Phase are my absolute favorite Beck albums. Modern Guilt is very underrated. I personally really like Colors, even though a lot of people don't like it.
happy 25th bday week odelay!
Hello, I want you to know just how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you for your love and support. You are a true fan, and I am so grateful for that. You cannot imagine how much strength your support has given me during a difficult time. I appreciate you more than words can say. I hope you keep being a great fan. Where are you watching from?
Some songs on colors are incredible
My favorite artist..of all time.nothing he can not do.
Me too
He can’t talk to anyone that talks bad about Scientology.
@@travisinthetrunk He's stated publicly that he's not a scientologist. What makes you think that?
Mine too!!!! He's insanely talented and creative.
Not even a single section about his Grammy winning album morning phase?
He’s won so many Grammys for his other material, it’s kind of just another award for beck. It wasn’t even close to his highest selling album either. Although, it is a great album.
get crazy with the cheese whiz!!
Kristopher Tower yo, cut it
SOOOOOY UN PERDEDOOOR!!!
This whole time I thought it was cheese wings
@@Cody-jg9fj 😂😂😂
"You know, it's like 45 horses runnin' through the graveyard...in yellow panties." Probably a less known lyric, from 'In a Cold Ass Fashion'. But always made me laugh with the imagery.
He's a musical genius.
I grew up on Beck however I have a strong view that the raw aggression of a young man/woman is what makes such artists so appealing. He still produces good stuff but the sound that got me into him was from his first 4 or 5 albums.
Same.
Odelay is my favorite, it's got some bangers on it. He got soft.
Those weren't his first albums at all. Do yourself a favor and listen to the albums that came before Mellow Gold!
@@rockymtnsteeze1815 Odelay is awesome because of The Dust Brothers.But my personal favorite is "Modern Guilt"
I agree completely
I highly recommend anyone listen to sea change. It literally moves me to tears every single time! A true piece of art. Art is supposed to invoke some kind of emotion. When people talk of Art and music, My Mind literally goes straight to this album.
Promised myself I wouldn't cry
Yep. That's what mellow gold does to me.
it's his worst album bro - that and morning phases are both totally uninteresting in comparison
First time I heard lost cause was after my gf had gone down the tubes from heroin. I was driving my car and it came on the radio and I had to pull over because I completely lost my shit...
I've had it for over a year but haven't listened to it. I'll check it out
my time is a piece of wax
fallin on a termite
thats chokin on a splinter
I’m a loser
Soooooy
I only own the album "Guero." I have to say, that album is magic. It all flows together beautifully. It's interesting, and fantastic.
Beck is so underrated
I do not think he is underrated. The masses just don't lose their minds like if the latest pop band that is massively promoted released an album. People with good taste in music (of all genres) love Beck.
Angelripper Witchhunter dude fuck off
Angelripper Witchhunter emojis really????
mainstream bad 🤮🤮🤮
Beck is a legend
Why isn’t he in the rock hall of fame yet?
They waiting for him to die?
scientologist nut job
Chrissie Hynde said it best. "The rock hall of fame is not an accolade or an honor and is completely phony. It has nothing to do with Rock and Roll and it was setup by people who wanted to be in a hall of fame". Have to say, I agree with her. If Beck is never in the HoF it would have nothing to do with his talent but the politics. Christ, even T-Rex is not in the Hall of Fame. That right there speaks volumes.
No, the reason why is because in order to be placed there, he must at least be of comparable talent.
I know this is a two week old conversation, but I just wanted to add that one of the qualifications for induction is that your first album must have been released at least 25 years prior to induction. 'Golden Feelings' came out in 1993, 26 years ago. He is just recently eligible. I feel he will be inducted. He is very influential and I hear his sound in many newer bands and solo artists.
Arguments can be made one way or the other about the validity of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame and who they choose to induct and not to induct. However, _overall_ I tend to agree with who gets in and who doesn't. I said overall there. I am shocked at some of the groups and solo artists that are not inducted, and equally as appalled at some of the inductees.
@@LilDroidBlue You might be confusing Beck, with Jeff Beck. I doubt this other Beck will be inducted. Golden Feelings may have come out in 1993 but I do believe it has to be an album of merit. Unfortunately, Beck has been unable to meet this criterion, he might in the future though, so there is hope.
Not mentioned...Al Hansen ,grandfather on mothers side who created Happenings : big parties were the Velvet Underground played in front the oil lamp projections, when Warhol managed them. I..I did his art work for his 1st cassette demo "Banjo Story " in his coffee house and club days.He was my neighbor many years ago. Nice guy,haven't crossed paths in many years.
Mutations is superb.
Totally Agree 1000%!!
If they can't change the guitar riff in the background or make the loop longer, could they at least modulate it up a whole step every 5 minutes or something?
One of the most talented Generation Xer.
Listen. If my life story movie had a sountrack... I'd want Beck to make it.
The music playing in the background of this video is the same music that plays on the title screen of The Fear And Loathing In Last Vegas DVD...😂
Dude literally gave his body for the legendary E-Pro video- absolute legend, this man
I’ve seen many many shows. But the best concert I ever saw, was Beck on the Odelay tour. He was amazing.
All of his shit, I love. Odelay, Mutations, Midnight Vultures was just such an amazing period, but really guys all of his work... and with Air too.... he's a genius. And Sea Change... Lost Cause.... OMG
He has more talent in his little finger than any ten musicians combined of his generation.
who are the artists of his generation?
@@franksmith4277 Drake, Bruno Mars, Rihana, Beyonce just to name a few. Bruno Mars does a great job as coming off as a genius musician, but you actually see he's a fraud.
@@bassinblue Those people are all terrible, so having more talent than them really isn't anything special. There's street performers who are better than Beck and all those assclowns you just named.
I see where cage the elephant get their soul inspiration.
Looks like a perfect 50/50 mix of his parents
Hyperspace is my favorite Beck album- it’s so beautiful and ethereal - truly a feeling of space
In discussing his artsy family, you left out his maternal grandfather, Al Hansen, an important "Happening" artist, and author of "A Primer of Happenings & Time Space Art," who died 1995. They collaborated on a mixed-media book, Playing with Matches!"
Wow he sounds like one cool dude!
@@michaelg2502 He was! I went to Pratt Institute with him in the early 60s, where he established The Third Rail Gallery that showed avant guard art works and Happenings. Unfortunately he was ahead of his time, and was kicked out of Pratt for one of those Happenings that he put on in one of Pratt studios. I had to see a psychiatrist for a year in order to stay.
Sad music does not make me sad, it makes me think that it was written about someone who might be sad.
Cool
I absolutely LOVE Beck. Sheer genius.
49 years old and still got it.
I thought that one of the storylines was the he created One Foot in the Grave and Mellow Gold pretty much in parallel. Where one foot was supposed to become the hit record (full grunge a la Nirvana) while Mellow Gold was created for fun.... and funnily enough there is no mention of his earlier albums here (beer can, one foot in the grave,...)
BECKS my hands down favorite artist of today and for a long while now,hes talented beyond words👍👍👍
How many people just thought Hanson had a 4th brother?
😂
Hes as close as it gets to a white prince
Makes me want to go out and get a Devil's haircut...
I absolutely adore Beck! He’s one of my favorite artists of all time, hands down. He’s so eclectic, versatile, and dynamic with awesome charisma and talent (attractive as well). I want to see him live before I die, def on my bucket list! ❤❤❤
Anyone expecting him to badmouth Scientology is going to be disappointed. If he says anything that they view as a put down they'll declare him an SP and lose his family. He's smart just to keep his mouth shut for his kid's sake.
Squirrel poop the phenomenon that let documentary film makers show how bat shit they are
1:18 That's a genius way to answer questions.
Fix Me is one of my favourite songs. He wanted to write a melancholy yet uplifting song, and Fix Me is exactly that
He looks exactly like his father.
Yeah he does.
To me Guero is his magnum opus, Odelay & The Information are hella close.
Also I’m glad he got out of Scientology, no child should have to be brainwashed to blindly follow any religion manipulated by society before they can freely think for themselves. I went through the same thing growin up with Christianity.
Brilliant - genre smashing once again...
A true original.
Mellowgold is like no other ........harkens me back to that strange period in my life of coming out of a private school and my only friend wore a trench coat and you had to have a B average to be in the art club after school. Even the cover art is very original to the album. makes me think of the Terminator movies and that late 80's disconnect.
Beck is great like the Beatles,Prince and all the legions.
Amazing that he is related to Jeff Beck and also the Hanson brothers....remember that OOOMbop thing? His little brothers right there.
Something missing is my jam. Beck been bae since 5th grade on god.
I never knew about Song Reader... what a cool idea
Beck is out of Scientology now. He escaped!
Beck is totally the shit!
is he still a Scientologist ??
The "Hansen" on the back of Odelay is because his brother did the artwork.
When they showed his dad...ya thats his son. Haha
Beck gives me chills throughout my body 👅
Thanks for not trashing Beck because of his religion! I’m a Scientologist too and I do tire of all the attacks! I just discovered Beck and I’m enjoying him A LOT! A great entertainer!
It'd be great if you guys didn't literally torture people and treat them like slaves.
i have his 1994 Album on C.D Beck Mellow Gold and his second i believe Beck Midnight winters 1997.
I have serious doubts about this truth.
Best artist
He s like 'Whats in a name b'
Drive by body pierce
Nice but all I could see were the dancers in the Peppermint Hippo 😁 (anybody want a dance)
I was the finance marketing Director at city one stop in Los Angeles the companies lie about how many records they sell for example Michael Jackson Sold 400 million copies of thriller at first print he was told that he sold 100 million copies reality bites!
Talented,thats it.
He been making music for more like 30 years he been around since the 90's
Mutations is a fantastic album from a fantastic genius!
David Campbell, Beck's Dad, is a classical violinist, hollywood producer, string arranger
\
Does anyone know how to get to the soviet embassy?
Sea change ftw!
2:11 I know this song because of Mikey Whipwreck.
Thank you ECW.
Prince and Beck are the same person.
This Background music is giving me thoughts of despair.
Nothing about the Universal Music Group fire that destroyed several unreleased album masters!?
No mention of One Foot In the Grave or Stereopathetic Soulmanure?
Sea Change is masterpiece!!!
something I thought of: beck should collab with death grips
o_O
E-pro is so cool, i can't believe it ruined beck like that
Beck looks just like his dad, holy poops
I co-wrote the song Loser. We were in a band together. I had the idea to insert something in between the Allman Brothers riff from Midnight Rider
Ya you did
His guitar is really good. Hard chords
Like, this one dude said he looked forty-five years of age and stuff one time in nineteen ninety-four...🤷🏻💯✔️
Mutations is an awesome album…his best IMO.
Promethious B I love the second track, ‘Nobody's Fault but My Own’
And 'Runners dial zero" the best 2 tracks imo...
The stickers that came with Midnite Vultures. Because Beck knows what we need.
I have the cd. What stickers?
@Mikk Lüftumie Foul ball. I'm a dunderhead. 'The Information' is correct, I believe. Looked like graph paper.
He isnt a scientologist
Hahaha, he was ,for too long
He's such a cute little nerd
🔊😍🕪
His father looks like an old Seth Meyers
The only other artist that I can think of that comes close to Beck is *MC 900 Foot Jesus,* who is equally brilliant, but not nearly as well know (seriously look him up). He was pretty big here in Dallas in the 90s. Played his CDs nearly to death. Kind of like I did to Beck's.
At 8:43 was that father john misty on the right. ?
Last comment i saw him utter on CO$ , after being asked about CO$ “ charity” work, went something like this ...... we have a drug rehab program called Al-ANON and they have like a 90 + success rate, so I’m told . The entire answer seemed very sheepish to me . Like, uhm, I have to say something positive and that’s the best he could think of on the fly . At least he didn’t tout the Anti- Psychiatry Museum .Honestly, I didn’t even know he was a CO$ until a couple years ago -even while living in L.A. in the 90’s- and am SO glad I didn’t as I would’ve absolutely not gotten to enjoy his music as I would never knowingly contribute money to anyone who might in turn give it to the CO$. We all have to draw the line somewhere, and that’s mine : Even got to enjoy seeing him play live in Nashville, TN. At a festival , as I still didn’t realize he was CO$- could’ve justified perhaps he was only 1 of many- the Violent Femmes blew all the other bands out of the water that night , in my humble opinion.
Damn that looping background music is annoying.
I agree! Why put such crappy music behind the story of a guy who makes great music?
Elliott Smith It seemed like a gud idea at the time 😆
Becks grandfather was an experimental abstract artist associated with Yoko en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Hansen?wprov=sfla1
And the answer to your question? As a diehard beck fan his latest album just like the last few "beats/pop" albums (as opposed to his folk albums which have mostly been meh) sadly SUCKS! Hes a genius who seemingly just isnt trying too hard anymore :(
mellow gold is the real deal and sea change is also great in a different way
This is Kurt Cobain but without all the heroin
I get a Kurt feeling when listening to Missing
Long life to Lance Hahn!
Time for a clambake
MELLO GOLD IS FUCKING AMAZING RECORD
What about "1 foot in the grave"?
Kurt Cobain was a huge Beck fan. Alot of people dont know that.
Was he really? I wasn’t sure Kurt was aware of Beck
@@cammoore2420 yes, if u watch the interview with him and his band on the boat, he mentions it when the interviewer is talking with him about if he likes any today's artist. (But of course, for that time)
He my nun!
Question...? Are you of Mrs. Thatcher?with Ozzy eyes!
