@@branko4033 I've been listening to it now for a few days since the video. I think I have to agree! The more recent stuff is more polished, but there's something special to that album.
@@milosdunjic8718 lol. I feel like every guitarist I know, loves or hates the guy. I'm a fan, even though he's a little wrong about things every now and then🤣Check out his interviews with other musicians. Loads of fun.
Yeah I disagree. The main riff sounds like ZZ Top redux. You seriously think after millions of songs and new genres it's easy to come up with something new? This was bland and you sound like an apologist.
@@prozac20mg astute observation. He also has about 40 years of experience on me. But everything takes time. I would never pretend I know everything, but I'm also a professional. With a fair amount, granted less than him, of experience in songwriting, live performance and production. So I'm allowed to have an opinion that's different from his. I should also say, I am a fan of his.
I'm so happy when I catch stuff like that on camera. No one would have believed me if I wasn't filming 🤣. I'll definitely be putting on the album on my next trip. I feel it's going to be a killer read trip album.
When I listen to Rick Beato it sounds like an old guy unable to deal with change. At the same time, I drove past some local practice hall lately and could hear the kids trying to play Slash licks from 30 something years ago. I think there is some truth in the idea of pre 2000s music being 'better'. A less cynical world allowed it to happen. Feels like our culture is collectively at its third album stage today. Be Here Now!
That is such a great comparison. "The third album stage" I'll also ad, that I finf those albums get reevaluated eventually and become loved.🤣 I still sound check with sweet child of mine every time I check my lead tones for gigs. But I also check my cleans with Slow dancing in a burning room. There's definitely a nugget of truth in there though.
From the last DP albums I liked Infinity. This one looks promising, McBride sounds more 70s DP style than Morse. However, Beato generally is right. Technology neutralized creativity. Every past decade was better and better.
So firstly, I'll definately check out infinity. I've been enjoying getting into some rock and roll, as I mostly listen to modern stuff. That leads me to the next point. Beato gets A LOT of things right for sure. But you can find articles from the 60s and 70s hating on bands like DP and artists like Hendrix. There were a lot of people hating on the beetles in their day. And all the same things were said about the recording technology then too. Queen was criticized for using the technology available to them to layer vocals instead of recording a choir for real. I don't disagree that technology can be really detrimental to creativity. But having better tools does not somehow make a carpenter's work worse. Why would we say that about musicians?
I really doubt that in 50 years we will be studying a band like we do today with The Beatles, for example. No way. I really hope to be alive in 50 years so we could discuss that. Rick Beato was talking about the top charts, nor forgotten musicians playing in garages. That’s the point. The pop music itself is getting used to garbage, reckless lyrics and poor rythyms. I agree we all find outstanding musicians playing in the sub stations, but that’s not what we are talking about right?
@@mateusdoria2487 I believe we agree. It's tough because thanks to the internet, we have charts for everything. One of the most popular songs in the last few years was by a band named Ghost. Mary on a cross. A band that sounds like Abba and Toto had a baby and raised it on Deep Purple. All because of a tik tok trend. Cody Fry has been doing great numbers, again because one of his arrangements went viral. Definitely check out Cody Fry, as he's one of the guys I'm convinced we'll still be discussing in a few decades. The tik tokification of music is a genuine problem. I see a lot of Songwriters basically just writing a catchy chorus and leaving in filler for the verses because "we just need 30 seconds of it to be good". So yes. As Rick pointed out a while back, guitar is on it's way back into mainstream music. Everything moves in waves.
@caseyfreeman3994 it's a classic! It's the first song I heard from the album here on RU-vid, so I also have a soft spot for that one. It also served as inspiration for a song I wrote for a client a while back. Good stuff!
Deep Purple has never been away except for some years from 1976 to 1984. The last four albums they produced with Bob Ezrin were very successful. And they have been touring almost nonstop since 1996. Just saw them last Wednesday in Rome and that concert was phantastic. Except for their new guitarrist Simon McBride they are all between 75 and 80 years old and are still full of energy.
@@user-go6vn6ix7p that is frankly incredible. I think my ignorance comes, at least in part, from the fact that those bands just don't come to our side of the pond unfortunately. But this definitely supports my statement that good music is being made, and performed. I've just not noticed. Ironically.
I’m seeing deep purple with yes September 1 this year at Jones Beach theater in New York..54years after the release of in rock and the classic mark 2 lineup which three of the members are performing today Ian Gillan Roger glover and Ian paice.
I *am* a hardcore Deep Purple fan, but MkII will never be surpassed and this can’t hold a candle to it. Purple without Lord and Blackmore and Gillan’s 70s vocal cords is like chips with vinegar. It’s edible, but you just miss the salt.
Hardcore DP fan? What does that even mean? Blackmore quit MORE than 30 years ago, Jon Lord retired 22 years ago and died 12 years ago. As for Gillan’s voice, what do you expect happens to any singers voice after 50+ years of singing? Why bother even commenting if Blackmore hasn’t been in the band since 1993, or Lord since 2002? Mate, get over it, move on, get a life.
Production is not song writing. Today's production is better than ever but the songs are not. All music has is classic period. Even though Beethoven' work is recorded better today than anytime before there is noone today creating music like he did. The same can be said for rock. I listened and enjoy to a lot of music created post 2000 and overall only the recording has advanced.
@@zingpulse4138 I appreciate the comment, but I genuinely challenge you to go looking through some lesser known artists. I completely agree there's a lot of garbage out there, but as someone who owns a lot of old vinyl, there has ALWAYS been trash. The good just get's remembered. I'll grant that styles change, but a lot of what rock use to do evolved into some of the metal genres. Just as rock grew out of blues. There are incredible orchestral composers living today who, in my opinion, are going to be the people we study in a 100 years. Just like beathoven. All that being said. The good stuff from the before times still exists. But we've built on them. Just as future generations will build on the work of the great songwriters of today. After I watched this video I revisited some Black Sabbath. It's...cool...edgy...influential...pioneering.. yes...but in my opinion, not even close to being the best songs ever written. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad to have this discussion.
@@davidbennett3098 I'm really happy to have found that out since making the video, but that's definitely a thing that happens with older bands from time to time. But I completely agree this time isn't one of those times.
Mate, you’re talking as if Purple is making some sort of a comeback, yes? You’re wrong, completely wrong, ok? They never left! Anyway.... They formed in 1968, that’s 56 years ago, and still going strong, always touring, currently touring Europe (the only time they stopped touring was when everyone was forced to stop during Covid a few years back). The new album, ‘= 1’, will be their 23rd studio album too. *Ian Paice, drums - age 76, since 1968 *Ian Gillan, vocals - age 78, since 1969 *Roger Glover, bass - age 78, since 1969 *Don Airey, Hammond organ - age 76, since 2002 *Simon McBride, guitar - age 45, since 2022. Good solid rock n roll. Cheers from Oz,
@@johnnewman366 Thanks for the informative comment! This shows that even though I try to have my fingers on the pulse of what's going on, I've definitely missed things. I think some of the trouble is that those kinds of bands don't really tour is South Africa, where I'm from. And because of how distribution works in this day and age, if you're not actively following a band, it's easy to just flat out miss a release in the noise of social media and the millions of hours of content trying to pull at our attention spans. I am happy to hear that theres so much in the Deep Purple Discography that I can go dig into now. Nearly 60 years of music! Incredible. This does support the point I made later in the video though. If these bands are still delivering album after album, touring year after year, why are so many people pretending there's no good music?! Thank you for taking the time to check out my video and leave this comment! I'll definitely be looking into more of their recent work, now that I know about it.
Mate, on the question of if there isn’t any good new music today, I wouldn’t go that far, not going to slag modern music, but I can understand why it is said. I’ll explain. I was born at the end of the 50s, grew up listening to all the ‘new’ styles of music in the 60s, 70s and into the 80s. What I find today (regardless of good musicians or not), is that to my ear, I’ve heard it all before, you can only play things a certain number of ways, everything starts to sounds like a rehash of a rehash of a rehash. Again, not saying there aren’t good musicians today, of course there are, or good new music. Being in my mid 60s now, it’s very hard to hear something brand new that hasn’t been done before, I don’t hear anything today and go ‘wow, never heard that before!’. As for Deep Purple or the Rolling Stones, etc, today anything new from them still sounds like them from 40 or 50 years ago, it’s ‘new’ but they have their own signature, and there is nothing wrong with that either. Perspective is different for all of us, my perspective will be totally different to yours. In 30 or 40 years from now, you might find it hard to hear anything ‘new’ too. Cheers,
@@johnnewman366 you make some very good points. I actually think I'll think on what you mentioned about everything being a rehash of something. We are currently living in the revival of a lot of 80s sounds being made. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I will say this though. I firmly believe, that if you ask people what they want, they'll usually say more of the same. They don't know they want new until it's given to them. So, record lables and artists play it safe. But then the other side of that coin, when someone does something new, a lot of us lift our noses. "That's too wierd" "too dissonant" "challenges me too much" so then we go back to the comfy worn in shoes of our favorite bands. I appreciate your perspective on the matter. I hope that I can oneday make music that makes people feel the way bands like deep purple make us feel.
Sometimes yes. With projects like this working alone for the recording is quicker. But Arend Brink does the mixing and mastering. Working with other musicians is always preferred, but just not always possible.
🎉 Wow, this reaction was absolutely fantastic! 🎸 Thank you so much for sharing your passion and deep insights on Boy What’s latest track! Your energy and love for the music really shine through. 🌟💥 I can't wait to see what you'll react to next! By the way, what are your future plans for the channel? 🤔 Are there any new artists or genres you're planning to explore? 🎶 Your content always keeps me hooked, and I'm super excited to see what's coming up! Keep rocking! 🤘🔥
Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! I appreciate the kind words and that you've taken the time to watch! So to answer your question, I plan to keep reacting to different artists in the rock(but also sometimes other genres) and metal scene. I plan to keep releasing the metal/rock covers I've been working on, I've got a new one coming out this fryday that really challenged me. And then finally I plan to release an album of original music in the next year or so. That one's the toughest as the costs are way higher, but I'm confident I'll get there! The channel is growing and I'm very excited about sharing my love for music!
I completely agree! I'm obsessed with that song. Still one of his strongest tracks. I did a short a while back where I added choir vocals to the last chorus. Such a killer song!
Dude. I LOVE this content. Also, I really appreciate the fact that you turn down the music when you talk and how well you do the sound on these videos!!
The Grass Skirt Shase theme I heard and at the time I could've sworn it was a Cartoon Network or Dexters Lab melody. Turns out it's a track from the show.
Those lyrics rlly hit my feels honestly, "i pray this dome of glass is strong enough" "dig another grave for those i couldnt save" "so give me all you got my love" those lyrics rlly hit me rlly hard, i just wanna cry
