Hey Rick - I was the bassist with Huey Lewis and the News for the first 20 years (the guy with the shades and cig) and Don Henley opened up for us in Japan one year. He was the MOSTnegative, pessimistic person I had ever met....example: q - "hey Don, do you want to go around the corner for Kobe beef. A - oh, they're probably closed" That seemed to be the attitude with everything. LOVE your channel.

Mario your bands early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think the band really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

It's a shame that these guys don't understand how micromanaging the consumption of their music is alienating actual fans, not just cleaning up some fractional transactions that missed the bank. For instance (though I was never a huge fan), after the whole Napster thing happened, I lost all respect for Metallica and it never came back. I realize everyone has bills and they gotta eat etc, but once you make a clear stance that the money is the only thing you care about, I'm out. Protect yourself, it makes sense and we all get it. But don't throw away the most important part of music: *community.*

My point is that his approach is not only out of touch with the times, it goes against a cornerstone of art: it's for everyone. The fact that he has hired 60 people to hunt down arbitrary infractions and bully fans into submission is disturbing enough to begin with, but it's also incredibly disingenuous and disrespectful to the entire art community. He would be no one without us. The people he's attacking are the last chance at gaining a new audience.

@@tracyavent-costanza346 The two major reasons that both Don Henley and Glenn Frey were world-class dicks are: Cocaine and Irving Azoff. Azoff - from day one as their manager - represented the interests of only Henley and Frey at the expense of the rest of the band. He purposely created friction - then hate - between the two sides, fed their egos. Cocaine magnified the hate, as it does. For Azoff, it was all about money, since Henley/Frey had the most songwriting credits. Look at Azoff now, posing on his $100M stretch-yacht.

The part that gets me about this is that all these videos do is promote the music. I watch Razorfist's Metal Mythos videos. Because of his videos, I went from 4 metal albums to 67. I spent hundreds of dollars on music I'd otherwise have never bought. Because of Rick's Toto video about Rosanna, I finally got that album and it's one of my favorites. I don't see how a few seconds of a song being played is this massive violation when the end result will likely be someone buying that song, the album, or, if they're a completionist like me, the musician's entire catalogue. They're hurting their own cause by blocking content.

Immanuel Can Rick does this very difficult thing of appealing to both the layperson and the expert at the same time, while boring neither. For the layperson, one of his videos might be like a music appreciation course, giving the viewer a next level of understanding of what makes a song great. The very same video provides deeper analysis that gives insights to the trained musician exploring her or his craft. A lot of Rick’s analysis goes over my head when he gets into musical theory, yet he’s never boring. I suspect that Rick’s ability to engage and appeal to all levels comes from decades of teaching experience.

While watching this, I was thinking, "These KZfaqrs are kinda like today's version of the old radio DJs, back when Top-40 radio was how you heard about new music." The record companies would send tons of records to the Top-40 stations, hoping that their records would be the ones selected by the DJs to be played. There were even "payola" schemes where they'd bribe DJs to select their music. So now, what? we (artists/labels) want to make the "DJ's" pay *us* for playing our music? It may be old music, but there's a whole vast world of youngsters (& even some not so young) out there for whom it's new, because they've never heard of a lot of this stuff. These are potential fans, who might not be satisfied with a 9-second clip of a song that they'd be willing to pay Apple Music or the like, a buck to get the whole thing. But if some fool who thinks he's being robbed by a YT vid touting it, has the vid taken down, then those YT watchers aren't gonna get the chance to buy it, because they'll never even find out it exists. There's an old proverb about a goose that laid golden eggs, that these dunderheads might do well to look into... Fred

There are however many more out there who've never heard of them. You and your channel provide an opportunity for these artists to be remembered and heard. You do it for free when in reality someone should be paying you for presenting the artist/album/song. You don't ask for that. All you want to do is be left alone to get on with your great work. Those people on the other end of the phone probably don't even know who King Crimson are.

Rick, I have a fly speck of a KZfaq channel and they took my cover of 'New Kid in Town' down soon after I uploaded it I asked myself how my singing their song was taking any money out of the pockets of any Eagles band members and couldn't come up with anything. It wasn't a big deal to me because I just did it for fun, but your videos have considerable value in the realm of teaching. I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, but I can think of no way that your videos do anything besides put money INTO THE POCKETS of artists. It was hard to watch this video because I really respect your work and think I have an inkling of the tremendous effort that goes into what you give all of us for nothing.

Thank you for this video Rick. Very informative. A friend of mine runs an acoustic channel that has released a top notch guitar demo every day for about 18 months. Not a huge channel but people seem to enjoy it. I do. About 1500 videos on it last I looked. Earlier this year, Henley’s goons blocked two of their videos within 5 minutes of each other (for 24 seconds ‘Hotel California’ and a bit of ‘Boys Of Summer’). They removed all related videos immediately (about 27 Eagles/Henley vids) to avoid the whole channel being lost and all the hundreds of hours of work being for nothing. In the 70s it was all live shows, LPs and mystery - now it’s the social media microscope, and the Eagles’ legacy is withering by the day. Music is traditionally taught and handed down through generations, that’s how longevity is acheived. Henley is not only ebbing that crucial process for the Eagles, but losing fans like us through their greed (and more than a splash of narcissism I expect).

Dinosaurs with half an ounce of functioning brain matter, that's really all it is. I don't think it would be a bad thing if most of the record companies out there disappeared off the face of the Earth, frankly. I see vids all the time of groups doing their own recordings in house and frankly, many times they are better.

Rick, tu es une personne merveilleuse. Cela met arrivé aussi sur une vidéo pédagogique de me faire bloqué, cela m'a rendu très énervé. Je te regarde et te suis car tu incarnes LE musicien, celui que je respect et qu'il fait des critiques impartials. Parfois certaine chose négative et toxique apporte de belles choses. Laissons Don à ses démons. même si hier j'ai racheté en numérique le morceau" NY minutes" avec Jeff P. à la drums. Je te souhaite le meilleurs. Prends soin de toi et des personnes que tu aimes. fabien

J F I have bought Boston, Yes, Peter Gabriel, then I remembered Been Caught Stealing was on a cassette single, remember those? so that is some of what I bought all bc of what makes this song great or it reminded me, oh yeah, I should replace xyz too. I was big into industrial club and found DJ Flax on here which has been awesome since back in the day you had to wait to ask the dj what he was playing song before last. From him I’ve updated front 242, Cabaret Voltaire, etc. Maybe they should invest in seeing what triggers buying spikes of old material. Or maybe they should think about those of us that have purchased the same album in multiple formats that have helped them out? And ppl taped off the radio way back. I get that he has a right to be paid but what platform would would promote his old stuff?

Somehow, I can just imagine Don Henley in the seventies rolling up on a fan in the next lane with an Eagles 8-track blaring out of his car stereo, and taking his tape because people in the other cars weren't personally paying Don Henley to hear his music. I hope all the classic rock stations take the Eagles off their playlists so Don can watch those sweet royalty checks dry up, all because he wouldn't let people like you teach young folks about his music. The word is "douchebag", Rick. Call him what he is.
@jeff2235 3 жыл бұрын
When I think of this problem, I get confused, because the Eagles were freakishly talented. Don Henley gave so much to music that it's hard to fathom. But I hate to see and am mortified to witness what he's doing to Rick and others. I am truly confused- and it doesn't happen to me often.

Rick, you are a national treasure, and I don't mean that sarcastically. Your channel has helped me appreciate music in a whole new way, and become a much better (and more aware) musician. We need more Rick Beatos in this world, and no amount of bed-wetting rich crybabies or overbearing bureaucrats are going to ruin the love of music for your 1.5 million followers.

I know of smallish groups that have had their own music blocked on their channel. One in particular was the producer for Beats Antique, Zoe Jakes. She's a belly dancer as well and the video was her teaching a choreography to one of their songs. She ended up putting a statement on her channel along with a video that Beats Antique was free to use for dancers to either perform to or to use in classroom situations.

Last time I checked Dire Straits weren’t blockers. Sounds like a “WMTSG” is a win for everybody. All the virtuosity. None of the shenanigans. I’m just saying.... Ok. Now to be serious. Every time we hear one of your treatments of a song you help us find things that we didn’t hear before. It makes the song better. Makes us appreciate it more. How can that not be a good thing for the artist?... Thanks for what you do.

THe irony here is that Rick’s videos give all credit and respect to the artist whose music is featured. Rick’s insights make their music even more enjoyable after the fact. Thanks to Rick, some people may buy those albums who otherwise wouldn’t even have heard of them. RIck, I think you should try to get a ‘Beato Exception” written into copyright law which would lay somewhere between education, analysis and promotion, An artist should be delighted to have you mention them as far as I’m concerned.

You are correct, people are always seeking insight and knowledge. Rick delivers those nuggets of insight as an inspiration to broaden your understanding of music. Much like we need people to provide insight to sculpture and paintings, music is no different. Sadly there are those who wish to close down debate and knowledge. Time and history has forgotten those people of the past and Don Henley, Black Sabbath, and Guns & Rose will be on the ash heap of forgotten history. When Don Henley is on his death bed he will not be saying “If I just could of banned one more music lover”. To Rick keep on dong what you do, because you are appreciated far more than you know.

Hi Rick, I am so on your side. I can't understand why some of your work gets blocked. You are only honoring the bands that you obviously love while promoting their hard work and talent for us, your viewers. My son (Hayden, 18), turned me on to you. We love your energy, your expertise, your talent, and your content. Hayden got an acoustic guitar last year, and so far, choosing to self teach. He bought a Strat a month ago and is progressing nicely. Keep up the great work. You are incredibly appreciated!
