Rick Beato Doesn't Hate Me 

The mental image of Rick Beato listening to We cry together Is fucking wild

Damn, didn't expect these two to talk about their Italian roots for 59 minutes

His "what makes this song great" series is so damn good, can't recommend it enough

What a crossover. However I did think it was a bit far when Melon gave the Beato Book a NOT GOOD right to his face.

my fav part of this interview is when Anthony started playing We Cry Together and Rick's son used his perfect pitch to sing the rest to his dad.

Good interview until Rick mentioned Melon losing his "best teeth in the game" title and he responded by threatening to "beato" his ass

Jeez melon, just because you don’t have perfect pitch doesn’t mean you can call rick a boomer

A crossover I never expected..

I think a lot of the assumptions about Rick being a boomer who hates modern music just comes from the culture in his comments. If you watch his videos where he takes a look at the top 10 most played spotify tracks, he's actually very fair to a lot of the newer pop music and you can tell he's not going into those wanting to shit on tracks, but if you look in his comments, it's the exact opposite attitude in there.

Melon started sweating bullets when Rick mentioned how big of a fan of modern progressive metal he is.

Every 20 year old's favorite music RU-vidr interviewing every 50 year old's favorite music RU-vidr. Legendary

Shoutout to Pat Finnerty I find myself saying "Beato" under my breath whenever someone talks about music theory

I love his passion when describing the music that he likes. It makes me wanna go listen to it right away.

I love Rick Beato. Dude really got me into my instrument, and elevated my playing. His channel is literally packed with free high level music theory concepts, cannot recommend him enough to beginners

"What Makes This Song... NOT GOOD" Make it happen people

I’m 56. My music taste got solidified in my 30s and 40s. I actually don’t love the stuff from my twenties. It seems a bit stale. I listen to Fantano in order to keep up a bit. It’s now that I find I have to make an effort to keep up. It’s not as natural anymore. But it’s worth it.

Pat Finnerty fans reporting in

Anthony has become a great interviewer. 👏 David Bennett Piano or Mic the Snare interview next please!

Gen Alpha when their fifty , “ no one wants to play video games anymore, their all into virtual world simulators, whatever happen to the physical feel of a touch screen or a game controller ” 😢🤖🤖

GET PAT FINNERTY ON NEXT

Well, I’m 60 yrs old & I listen to every kind of music under the sun! I love music from the 60’s thru today! In fact, I’m going to see “The Weeknd” on July 14th & just a few years ago, I went to see Ariana Grande, myself! I love every genre of music..To name of few…R&B, Soul, HipHop, Pop, Rock & Jazz & the list goes on! I feel like this..The day you limit yourself to listening to music of only your era, or stop listening to music all together, is the day you decide to stop living life to its fullest! Just imagine a Life without Music, or only listening to music of one era! I’d rather die! ♥️🎶🎼🎵🎤♥️

Next up: Pat Finnerty

I've never felt Rick to be an oldhead who hates new music, but that's 100% his target audience. His titles and thumbnails on at least his top 20 pop song videos often portray the music as terrible, and the comment section is full of oldheads who talk about how music was better back in the day and that new music sucks. I guess you have to cater to some sort of audience though.

I’ve always wanted these two to meet, because I felt like they could help to uncover each other’s blind spots. After seeing this interview, which I enjoyed very much, I feel like there should be a follow up where Rick interviews Anthony in person. Either way, great stuff here, glad you guys made it happen.

I was on the edge of my seat when Rick started talking about prog metal and Anthony started sweating profusely.

I might not agree with Rick’s takes, but the dude is wholesome AF and knows his theory

I think Fantano's the Beato Bandit.

I never comment but when I see two of the guys who have introduced me to so much awesome music join together for a talk I cannot help but to take the chance to say thank you both! And I think that the apathy of the average listener to seek and enjoy new sounds is a very complex matter: there's first the drive to do it, a hunger mixed with a sense of adventure that leads you to new stuff that is not you or your taste anymore but that it absolutely enhances you as a human being; then those findings you make in your quest for music inspire you, among many other stuff, respect, and it's this respect and obviously the curiosity you have that make you take really seriously this artistic expression that you're experiencing, and to consider carefully the message of the artist. For me it's not about the mediocre songs/artists, or the mere manipulation from music platforms (given that we all have agency in our lives) but about conformity, lack of drive and passion that so much people apparently wallow in. But then I can't not see that I'm judging that from the place of my own passions, which cross through my life and gives it meaning... There seems to be little capacity to leave one's place of comfort, but if there's one thing that I'm sure about is that everyone's passionate about something and it's a little thing that keeps living there, latent, waiting for just the right time to kick in.

Now get Pat Finnerty on

Two of my favourite RU-vidrs talking and I’m stoned as balls, it’s a beautiful night and I’m chilling with my dog, I couldn’t be happier

This was great! Thank you both. I am 54 years old and tend to fall more the Boomer side of things, but still try to stay somewhat current (hello Japanese Breakfast and Courtney Barnett)... Recent years it has been a struggle though. The last time I was really fully engaged in a music scene was probably around 2005-2007, but current artists have sporadically crept in each year.

Next we get beato on pat finnerty's channel

I just started watching Rick Beato’s channel to help with my mixing process, the universe knows when to deliver! I knew of him from my love of KoRn but it didn’t hit me until I started deep diving his channel. Awesome interview!

Interesting conversation. Would like to see Melon interview Neely. I like these engaged music RU-vidr conversations because they all come from different backgrounds but share a deep and genuine love for music.

I appreciate this interview a lot! Its great because these two guys show so much passion for music and its contagious, that being through a Fantano review or a What Makes This Song Great.

As one of those music nerds who just recently found Rick through his interview with Kris, and seeing his breakdown on the song "no one knows", I must say this is my favorite interview Fantano has done. I could have watched this for hours upon hours if it existed. I love seeing two passionate music people, who approach is vastly different, just talk about music. It's legitimately refreshing. Kudos to you both.

When they talk about attention span in music at about 16:00 I completely understand this. Im a DJ and in techno and other forms of dance music a good warm up DJ is key to start your night, set the tone and ease people in but now no one has the attention span to enjoy an opening set of ambient or downtempo music which was a big part of DJ culture. People just aren’t willing to stick with a journey and let the night build up anymore which is a real shame.

Love Rick Beato for his passion and excitement when discussing music. Fun interview!

A Conversation W/ Pat Finnerty when?… Beato

I'm 54 but I'm still seeking out and finding more great music, as I have been since I was about 15, and I can't imagine stopping. The most recent thing I bought was Cave World by Viagra Boys, last week... or was it two weeks ago... whatever.

Damn, what a great interview. It's not often that I find myself able to watch an interview of this length, especially when I'm totally unfamiliar with the guest. But this was an awesome listen.

This is a great crossover. Very happy to see it.

Great interview/conversation! I'd love to hear Rick's thoughts on the WIndmill/ Post Punk revival scene.

Needs more Pat Finnerty

Rick is an absolute treasure. What he provides to the music community for free is incredible. I for one am thankful he decided to share his wealth of knowledge with us all.

interview pat finnerty next

What a discussion! Absolutely loved this interview, very engaging conversation between two people who are passionate and knowledgeable about the industry. Good shit Anthony

Now maybe talk to Pat Finnerty to get balance in the force, for reference he does a great series called "What makes this song stink".

I feel like Gen Z'ers do like music as much as anyone else, they've just been raised in a world where music is a product first and art by incident. So when they are finally exposed to music that is expressive and artistic and has a message, they're blown away, because they didn't know music like that exists. But they're so plugged in they're fed a constant drip-feed of products and were never taught how to find this stuff on their own.

As a 16 year old, I find it interesting to hear Beato comment on young people becoming less interested in music. In my group of friends I am far more engaged with music than anyone else. Additionally, his connection between short form content and social media interaction leading to less interest in music is true in my case. I don’t have TikTok or instagram as I don’t see any benefit personally. Of course my experience doesn’t completely confirm nor deny Beato’s claims, just thought I’d share if anyone would read 😅

Pretty thoughtful conversation - happy to have stumbled onto this video. Thank you! 🙏👍🏻

I'm 24 and I agree with most Points made in this conversation. In my experience ( in my environment ) people around me never really cared deeply about music. If they do its mostly 1 band or 1 genre and thats it. I always struggled with sharing my passion for all kinds of bands, ranging from Khruangbin to Tool back to KRS-One and Ikimonogatari. I dont feel like alot has changed in my time of living, that's why I appreciate both of your Channels and Opinions regarding music but also the internet in general. Back when I was a kid i never got to listen to alot of music neither to talk about it with people

Almost broke my phone screen tapping this video so hard bro 🙌🔥

Really hope the older I get, the drive to find new music to jam out to doesn't fade. Don't ever let anyone tell you there is an age limit to discovering new music.

This is an awesome interaction / interview between two RU-vid legends!

two of my favorite music personalities coming together really enjoy this interview!!

Now you have to get Pat Finnerty to combat beato

Glad to see you get Beato on, are you going to have Pat Finnerty as a guest?

fascinating. really got a lot out of this interview. So much change in the music industry- and how it's consumed now.

This is a great commute from two people I didn’t know I wanted to see talking together, I’ve been a big fan of both of you! Enjoyed this also there’s a new minion movie

Great interview, and thanks to this I'm listening to Failure right now

been watching rick beato a couple of months ago and for those interested in music theory and production and compositions, i highly recommend his channel. his videos are very fun but also educational. big fan of his "what makes this song great?" series

This is a great crossover. I feel like the venn diagram of music Anthony covers and music Rick covers has a pretty small overlap, so it's interesting to hear what you do have to talk about.

I didn't expect this collab to happen but it's definitely needed

Really enjoyed this - you're a good interviewer Anthony.

As a 27 year old who truly loves music, I can definitely say the shit I listened to in highschool was nothing compared to the stuff I was listening to when I was 23. As for now it's still completely different than both. I think it's really a power struggle, to know, keep relevant, in a loop of what we truly love. Every person has their own taste and you can't just shove whatever amazing track you know down anybody's throat and I learned that a couple years ago. Getting older now I can see what I used to love fading from me, that's why I bought a guitar and also write. In the position you two are, the influence you have can keep that passion alive as work. I still dedicate myself to new music for hours on end at least 1-3 times a month and I respect others that do as well. But I know one day my 1995 born ass will be old screaming you kids don't know shit about kiss, then play some Kanye right after it. Lol. Cool vid! Also the first cd I ever owned. MBDTF at 14 years old. Use to sit with my ears so close to my computer speakers cause my dad hated rap and when he'd walk by I'd turn it down cause I thought I'd get in trouble. I hid that cd. How things have changed.

I could have watched another hour of that. What a great interview.

My of two favorite music youtubers talking shop and geeking out over music. Best crossover episode ever!

I love Rick's channel. Very important stuff!!

What rick said about sitting down and listening is interesting because that seems true to me. I wish every day that I could sit and listen but I'm just always working, always gotta accomplish something.

This conversation was a true treat. Great questions Anthony!

Stellar Interview!!! Would greatly enjoy having either Anthony or Rick offer an honest assessment of The Warning's new album "ERROR". Many thanks, for such great content!!!

Failure's "Stuck on You" is such an amazing tune

That’s crazy you got anthony bourdain on the show

This is great! Thanks for having this conversation!

I remember when this was "Rick Beato Talks to Me"

Cool crossover, really interesting conversation. Would like to hear a conversation with you and Micheal from BecomeTheKnight.

Fantano got hit with the biggest Beato Bomb of all. The MOAB: Mother Of All Beatos, Tsar Beato. My Pat Finnerty fan brain exploded when I read the title.

Been waiting for this!!

Man I am a big fan of Rick's and it felt really wierd not even hearing a mention of any form other RU-vid people I watch even though he's a relatively big youtuber. No calabs, no anything. This one warms my heart

He wrote a book that is like 2000 pages of all the coolest chord names and you can buy it for cheap.

I think it's interesting that we talk about record shopping like it was some staple of human nature that got lost with this generation. We had music before and will have music after the industry goes. The communal, historical, and identity developing aspect of humans will manifest in new ways. Don't bet against the youth, they're the future.

This was a fantastic interview

I think some of us around the age of 30 are in that sweet spot where we enjoy music like a few decades ago, meaning, listening to an album like watching a movie, to get to know the characters, reading a bit about them, and enjoying the whole experience like we used to when we bought CDs. But then, also being able to access a vast library of music for a really affordable price. I'm sure some younger people will get that experience from their parents or older brothers or something. I hope the next generations don't let the idea of the album die, which is kind of happening in some genres already. Maybe I'm completely wrong and whatever comes after "the album" is even better and cooler; right now it seems like the playlist is challenging that concept, ever changing playlists curated by the platforms themselves to keep them fresh. I think that's cool too, but it doesn't replace the album, it's a different thing.

I'm aging backwards. I started out with New Wave and Punk in the early 80s and now I'm into Western Swing from the 30s and 40s.

Now we need the Pat Finnerty interview

I think the ready access to any type of music from any genre of period also puts a lot of responsibility on the listener to curate their own tastes, which is great but also causes a lot of anxiety. Studies show the more kinds of salsa available in the store means less purchase of salsa overall, for example. In other words, choice overload, as well as sensory overload due to short form online content and video games.

I love Rick Beato, I’ve learned so much from him. Monumental interview 🙏🎵👽🛸🎹🎤

i hope this dude's kid turns out okay and follows what he actually wants to do, be it music or not.

Jeez Melon, just because rick is a guest here doesn't mean that u get right to call him a boomer

I did not expect this crossover and I love this. My music worlds are colliding

His what makes this song great is the shit. It's how I found him. This was an epic crossover interview that I never imagined would happen. Great interview!

Seeing two music nerds talking music is so epic. Lovely content Fantano!

this is so pleasantly unexpected! i love rick he teach me so much about musictheory. great crossover

Beato rocks! Great choice for a needledrop interview.

One of the things that makes it hard to find new bands for me being a Gen Xer is artists are able to do the DIY thing and releasing singles and EP route. I am looking at full album release lists going to Spotify or RU-vid trying them out and buying vinyl, digital, or CD. This like was mentioned kills the algorithm for me. My last Spotify year in review the top song had one play and was a track from the last album I played. When I discover 'new' bands many been slaving away for years and taking the time to get their song perfect. Now that touring is opening back up some of these bands are looking for labels and releasing a physical product. Like you guys mentioned hopefully the label doesn't ruin them.

*THIS IS THE MOST AMBITIOUS CROSSOVER SINCE ENDGAME* 😩

Cue the George Costanza worlds are colliding clips.

Rick is the man. Great interview

Glad to see you get along well with Vergil
