"He'll go far...hopefully he will stay there"
Perfect!!!!
That one was pure gold. 😆
I like that ! 😄
😂
Thank you, Barry. I am copping that line for my arsenal.😂
I’ve been a moderator on a discussion website for over a decade. My advice: ignore trolls. Attention is their oxygen; deprive them of it.
Maybe, but I found this quite cathartic and enjoyable.
@@classicalbumyeah.... sometimes laughing is all you can do when the dregs drag you down to their level then beat you with experience!
Respectfully disagree. Why ignore it when you can monetise it?
As a full-time troll of Man Utd fan UA-cam channels, I can confirm that there is nothing worse than being ignored.
@@classicalbum Just bought a T.shirt, Barry, excellent replies in this video, witty
I strongly prefer a well spoken gentlemen with a healthy knowledge and appreciation for music. The British accent is just an added bonus.
Added bonus is a tautology
/Grammar troll LMAO
(Purely for humour; agree with sentiment)
Appreciate someone who doesn't say 'yo' and 'bro' every 30 seconds.
Add to those "y'all".
"Bro"????? That's just SO 2023 - all the really cool kids say "bruh" in 2024!!! Tsktsktsk!!
But I do, like, kinda miss the, like, you know, like, the use of, like, enough "likes", as that, like, always makes me like feel all tingly inside.
@@chaosme1ster I like that.
"Brah"
Gotta love trolls questioning your right to express an opinion, while having an opinion about your right.
... and expressing their opinion about the opinion they don't want expressed.
I've seen a few "reading my hate-mail" videos from various people, and what they all have in common is demonstrating the strong correlation between toxicity and illiteracy 😆
MECHANT! WHO ARE YOU CALL SAD! AT LEAST MY MOTHER STILL DON’T CUT MY HAIR!
Why don't people take the time to proofread their comments before posting? It's such a simple thing to do.
@@lanceash Somebody had wroted, none of this now needed baby dead.
@@johngilmore697 Ah, I sam your statist ambromelon. I salute this inn falk!
@@lanceash -Tell us everything you know about Anne Frank.
-She was in a cupboard.
I'm a 37 year old Australian woman who loves all things prog and jazz fusion, and I think you're one of the most mellow, thoughtful, interesting reviewers on UA-cam. I wouldn't call myself that young anymore, but maybe a tad younger than the rest of your viewers 😁
In any case, don't let trolls deter you. Trolls lurk on every video, it's not something you can stop unfortunately. You just gotta ignore them.
Greetings from Melbourne. Could not agree more. Are you a musician?
I play, but not professionally.
The WHISPERING BOB OF good taste,,,,,
What part of Aus you from?
When idiots speak ill of you, you know you're doing something right.
At the risk of sounding like a complete sycophant..( i got a degree from the school of big words for that one).. i love your brand of brash, edgy commentry on the world of rock..let the eejits and trolls come in their droves if they must, you destroying them in this video has made my week already.
Hats off to you, sir!.
I’ve got to say mixing ‘dose’ and ‘does’ is particularly alarming.
I have to say, your deadpan delivery of these snide and barely coherent remarks has rendered them absolutely hilarious! Gave me good laugh today at work. Thank you and keep being awesome!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bravo, brilliant entertainment.
"Passive Stupidity" - Beautiful 🤣
If only it were also silent.
Captain Clickbait would be a great name for a prog band.
I like it
Or at least a double concept album ;-)
Captain Clickbait in his Magic Land.
Captain Clickbait & The Algorhythms! (See what I did there!) Awesome name for a band! LOL 😂
I'm an old guy like yourself, and I have found your channel to be an invaluable resource for guiding me to relevant Prog music. As a librarian, I know how difficult it can be to find one or two good things among millions of search results. You, like many other critics before you, provide a lending hand to help me find the music I am looking for. Thank you!
I always roll my eyes when a troll posts “Where’s YOUR best selling album?” As if a requirement for any sort of criticism is having achieved widespread success in the same medium. Such a cliche. Your comments about the staff at NME are spot on.
You gotta do another of these, it was absolutely hilarious. I now see the mentality that has allowed so many idiots to lead us to the situation we are now in.
The Christmas card... You, Sir, are a beast.
I think these people prefer reaction videos where someone shrieks 'Oh my God!' for five minutes in their mums basement.
Probably! My personal "favourites" are those reactors (my word) who cannot identify any instruments properly, never mind identifying a chord progression or anything technical. How all those channels get so many views is something I just... shouldn't be surprised about!
@@JacoWium In the wisdom of Forest Gump, "Stupid is, as stupid does".
I must say, one of the reasons I like your channel so much is not only for the based opinions and accuracy of the content you cover, but the fact you don't bleat with hyperactive ADHD energy like the vast majority of UA-camrs. It's just a chilled dude, talking bout a subject he has an excellent knowledge of. We need more Captain Clickbaits in my opinion.
This presenter is also funny in a dry way which is appealing .
Exactly. I could listen to him for hours. I’ll listen to any chat about prog rock, rock, etc
It is bizarre that people feel the need to troll others. Please understand that what you do is of tremendous worth and the UA-cam channels of people that I respect, such as yourself, discussing topics that interest me have provided me with much pleasure over the years. When life gets stressful, getting away from it all by watching some videos about stuff that you love is very therapeutic. I watch much more UA-cam than I do any other medium and am thankful for the content creators. Keep up the good work. From an old and irrelevant fan!
It’s good to be amongst your own people ! Love it.
Trolls are gonna troll. Ignore them, or, tell them to quit watching, quit griping, and get their own damn show
I believe it was Rod Stewpot, in his unreleased song from the late 1990s 'Don't Ask Me Nothing About Nothing . . . ( . . . I Just Might Tell You The Truth, Boys!)' who said :
🎼 "Opinions, boys
They be just like @rseh*les,
Everyone's entitled to at least one
. . . And this one's mine
And if you don't dig it,
Feel at liberty to stick it where the
SUN DON'T SHINE!!"🎶

@joefrommexico-elsete3434 In other words "Illegitimi non carborundum".
As a member of the unrelenting non-relevant let me say Rock On!
I'm Gen X but don't dismiss all Boomer rock out of hand.
I like that this channel points me towards material I might not appreciate or even know.
I'm worried about the age of our presidential candidates, not our album reviewers. Carry on despite the trolls.
On the other side of the pond, we are also worried about your presidential candidates. 😢 We also appreciate this channel for all that it brings.
I'm surprised he's running again
Great stuff!
I've watched loads of UA-cam videos on rock music criticism (well done for clarifying what that word means in this context) and yours are always absorbing, informative and humorous. And you can put words - even sentences - together to make coherent arguments. I may not always agree with what you say, but that's the nature of opinion, isn't it?
Never change!
I love your voice, mate, as an American. You have that dark English gravitas in your timbre that Hollywood uses for mysterious action movie villains. That sounds like an insult, I suppose, but I mean it as a great compliment, truly.
I appreciate your music knowledge and your humor, keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Marvellous - such eloquence in the face of such drivel! And I'd buy a Captain Clickbait T-shirt 😎
“The prose is exquisite here” 😂
That was hilarious!!! Please make it a regular video! I personally say you are an extremely good reviewer and i do enjoy YOUR prose
Keep it up
I don't know what the problem is. Your channel is exactly what you intended it to be; a music review channel.
glad to see another fine upstanding gentleman make use of one of my favourite expressions - "ass-hattery" (or if in the northern hemisphere arse-hattery )
Barry, life is full of "givers" who build up & construct and then there are the "takers" who destruct & deflate. Thanks for giving so much time, effort, humour, and creativity in making your videos - much appreciated.
Well said!
here's to the irrelevant 57.7k of us who love your channel!!!!!
I like your reviews and although I don't share the same opinions for some albums you review, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy your criticism. Forget the trolls and keep on bringing the classics!
Yes. I love Pink Floyd but some of their output after 1983 in some shape or form has been dull and mediocre.
"As appealing as an unsalted pretzel" lmao
This is brilliant - I had so many people over the years say I have no right to speak about music as I don't play an instrument. That is stupid. I collected and got to know well over 15,000 albums over the years and I have noticed those who take an interest in music to this extent tend to go down the same musical path.
Same here. I've tried to master a few instruments (piano, guitar and harmonica) but I only managed to frustrate my teachers. It turned out that my finger coordination, especially on my left hand, just isn't good. It doesn't matter how hard I practice, the technical skill level just isn't there. So I gave up on those ambitions and turned to the one instrument I can certainly play well: the hi-fi. Because I do have a fine ear that picks up all the intricacies in a song, and I value lyrical content just as highly. I do a lot of research into every artist, album and song in my collection. So, good luck to anyone telling me to shut up just because I am not a musician... I mean, by the same logic, only chefs are ever qualified to criticise/judge the taste of food! 🙂
So well done. Your authenticity is what keeps me here, not the specifics of your opinions, but rather how you express them. And regarding opinions, everyone’s got one, eh? This vid was enjoyable! 😎 Glad it was also cathartic! Wish more channels did this.
Man, clearly there are people with nothing going on in their lives that feel they to talk non sense. This was actually interesting, thanks!
This is brilliant, should do a little one every month. Some people just don't make sense online or in the real world but we do need them to ensure that we don't end up like them .
The nicest thing I can say about these comments is that wisdom has been in pursuit of these people for years, but they've always been too quick.
I’ve been accused of passing off AI as paintings. There really are some coc£ wombles lying on their sofa wishing they had a friend to talk to.
We love your observations sir!!
Asshattery, twattery…I was rolling on the floor…love your channel and expressions!
When you piss off ignorant people, you know you're doing something right...
New ants? Iron knee? these words make no sense. (nuance, irony)
That was hilarious 😂 You clearly have a PhD in sarcasm. Bravo, sir!
Sir, you are definitely still relevant! I, my 25 year old son and 16 year old grandson love your channel. You are articulate, extremely knowledgeable, and we like the wide variety of your topics...✌️💚🤟
It’s very simple: if you don’t like the content, don’t watch it. I almost feel sorry for these trolls because they’re so pathetic and confirm it by their comments.
Those of us here who remember the Old Grey Whistle Test love the Whispering Bob Harrisesque style in your videos Barry. Great stuff and if they want to give you content for videos that get 1900 views in 3 hours then I'm sure the Ad sponsors and your bank balance thank them.
Didn't notice the resemblance until you pointed it out. 100% spot on. OGWT was a fantastic show. My introduction to Be Bop Deluxe was via the OGWT DVD boxset for example .
remember, when a yt guy made an omelet while just slightly altering a traditional recipe and then got threats from a granny... no matter you make in public, there's always these people who attack you. don't let'em bring you down! you're never too old to rock'n'roll! your content is great, thanks a lot, Captain Clickbait (i might steal that name)
Completely thought this was a review of a band called "The Trolls"... I get this image of a super edgy 1960's garage band from New Zealand or something... whose one obscure 45 release from 1966 trades for like 6500 on Popsike..
‘Ass-hattery’ !!! Love it! Great channel from the viewpoint of a professional musician. Trolls everywhere spewing from their parents’ basement. Stay the course, good sir!🎉
"...passive stupidity through reading some of these comments". 👍🤣
Sorry you've had to endure these horrible comments brother! Very funny answers you gave haha.. I love your videos keep up the awesome work! :)
Thanks! Will do!
I'm 70. I'm too old for haters.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the firehouse, dronemeister.
Most of these seem like variations from the trolls of 'Your opinion is different from mine. That angers me!'
Kansas here-you have saved me so much money over the years and you have gotten me listen to new music.
That gave me a good laugh! A monthly troll roundup please! I’m 33, am I old enough to join the irrelevant club?
Keep up the great work Barry, in the words of Lemmy "Don't let them grind ya down".
The comments remind me of Mary Whitehouse who seemed to spend many hours watching programs that she didn't want others to watch or perhaps she was just too lazy to change channels which is of course what most of us do when we don't like something.
"my videos are an aquired taste. I suggest you go off and aquire some". That is gold, and I'm stealing it.
No matter what you say or do, there will always be 30% of the population that will hate you for it. You just have to solder on and have a laugh at the haters.
So well done, Barry. Thanks for the content you produce. Whether I like the music you're speaking about or not, your presentation is always interesting, well reasoned, and enlightening. Cheers.
Don't feed 'em.
Welcome to the internet, where anyone can say anything and every idiot has as much of an equal voice as anyone else.
You make the same hand motions as the little guys on your t-shirt and I love it!
Well, for what it's worth - I love this channel. The whole deal is great, presentation, material and good for a wry chuckle here and there. Keep up the good work!
Not worth wasting your breath on trolls. They don't deserve the publicity.
imo
Shit-tons of people need to take Frank Zappa's advice..."If it sounds good to you, it's bitchin'; if it sounds bad to you, it's shitty."
imo
It's an UGLY world we live in, just keep on rockin and doing your thing!!
Keep bringing the irony Captain! Thank you!
You cant beat the UA-cam comments section for level-headed and considerate opinion.😅 If it's any consolation, I was once called a "fascist" for suggesting the Acorn Electron was an underpowered 80s home PC on UA-cam. 😂
giving intelligent and informative answers to stupid questions/comments is quite a feat. bravo to you!
It isn't difficult to give informative answers to trolls. The better and more informed, the sooner the trolls STFU.
Coming from someone who is around your age, I appreciate your analysis and opinion. I learn something every time I watch. Maybe they could too, if they weren't trying to destroy YT's content creators' self esteem. I could safely bet you're not the only one.
The thing they forget is us old fuckers don't give a damn about their silly opinions. We'll just laugh at them. I'm 59, and the ranting of some silly twit on the Internet is the least of my concerns.
Please make this a regular feature Barry, that was a very enjoyable 'ass-hattery' outing 😅
Love it! Ignore these idiots - we love your videos. Keep doing what you do.
Brilliant!
As another "irrelevant" man of a certain age, I must say I really enjoy your videos and this particular one just made my otherwise dull afternoon.
Almost pissed with laughter!
Keep up the good work mate 👍👍
To be fair, with today's sad state of academia, you probably could learn more from watching the Rocky movies than going to a major university.
I agree
These people would fail high school debate class. Also elementary-level English composition class.
People don't know how to disagree without behaving like playground bullies. I don't agree with everything you say, but you always present your thoughts in a reasonable way.
This was very entertaining , these people need called out sometimes. Hope you enjoyed making the video as much as I did watching it .
Keep up the great work
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had lunch one time with Bill Bruford, back in 1990, and was stunned to learn that he knew almost nothing about what was happening in contemporary music at that time. I did learn that he did not like: 1. the last Genesis album 2. Chris Squire 3. Jon Anderson 4. The Cocteau Twins. And so, except for vintage jazz, I wouldn't expect him to wax authoritatively on anything. His memoirs, published years later, confirmed that for me.
Let 'em have it, C.A.R. I never understood writing negative comments. What do they hope to accomplish by writing all those comments?
I really like this calm way of your videos, and the humor in the details
I appreciate your knowledge and opinion. I also enjoy the delivery of the content. This one made me laugh on a number of occasions. Please keep up the good work.
About being qualified ..in my local town we had a famous rugby Union player he was a British lion..when he retired he went to coach the youngsters ..but he simply was hopeless at being a trainer and could not get across what he knew ..Lovely bloke but he was hopeless
I always hated training new people at work. I'd "jokingly" (I wasn't joking) warn trainees that I was about to teach them all my bad habits. I was proficient at my job. I wasn't any good at teaching other people how to do it.
Like we say here: a good horse doesn’t make a good horseback rider.
Great to see so many positive comments on here Barry. You do a great job and all your subscribers appreciate what you do to raise the level.
Hats off to you Barry. This is how to put morons in their place, in an articulate and dignified manner. Reading along with you, I just wanted to mark each comment. Correct them and return them. Was like being back at work with the twelve year old students.
The way that you present your videos is engaging, succinct and well thought out. Even when the music or artist featured are non preferred, there is always something learned or something to take away to broaden our knowledge of music. To me, THAT is the true value of your work. Keep on keeping on sir.
SMDH = Shaking My Damn Head. I had to look it up. Not sure why your head is "damned", but it always good to learn something.
I bloody love your reviews personally. People are generally idiots especially when there's no smack in the mouth in it for them. Keep posting, I'm a huge fan 👍👍
Frank Zappa:
"Their stupidity does not amaze me, it's when they're smart that amazes me. It's baffling whenever you find someone who's smart - incredible. Soon you'll have zoos for such things."
Keep doing what you're doing Barry, we wouldn't keep coming back if we didn't enjoy your points of view.
You could probably do one of these videos once a week...
@@ChromeDestiny I was going to include that one as well. Frank's got a bunch of quotes about stupidity.
: )
'Captain clickbait and the salmon hatcheries' would make a great Jethro Tull tribute band name IMHO.
Love your responses to these idiots. Keep up the good work Captain.
I’d suggest they are venting their own insecurities at you.
yes indeed
I remember Ray Davies in an interview saying: "Americans don't have irony." That might explain something. 🙂 I had a jolly good laugh. Thank you, oh, captain my captain (click...)
Your responses to your detractors were hilarious and insightful...thanks for the laughs!
Your presentation is very unique and elevates the art of music.
Glad to see you're secure in and satisfied with your style...keep up the good work.
One of your very best works, quite hilarious, thank you so much.
I am 62, in other words, also irrelevant. Good to know. ;)
I am nearly 59 and aspire to irrelevancy. Your example is deeply inspirational.
I'm 75, so am finally apprised of my irrelevancy.
I was wondering what had happened in the world. Turns out it was me all along.
We’re so pretty, I’m so pretty irrelevant… and we don’t care 😊
Just adding to the comments, I love your channel, and your presentation style etc. Your insights and commentary have value and are certainly worth any fan's time. Even the opinions which differ from my own are always well-reasoned, and entertaining to listen to.
Please, keep doing what you are doing.
You handled yourself well.
Glad you get a Christmas card from the Lennon Estate!
Love this Barry! Out educated and out witted!
This added so much to your content. May I request that you offer such an episode at least once a year? As far as your regular reviews are concerned, I won't always agree with you, but so what... you offer your perspective, and if that's different to mine it allows me to see things in greater detail, which is just why I keep listening, and watching. Thanks for all that you do.
