      He is even kind to some of today's stuff when he does his current top 10 reviews. He focuses on the things in the music he likes, on what is working, and leaves the rest out. I would watch this guy if he went on tour with this commemtary and a a cover band. No doubt

      Joey left his infinite mark on 'modern' drumming. A short, tiny, soft spoken guy when you meet him, but a crazed powerhouse behind the kit!
      And how sick is the fact that he wanted to be a guitar player in this band he was starting with his buddy Paul Gray? Lucky for us that didn't work out, so Joey & Paul regrouped and started a new group, named it 'Slipknot' and made it work this time.
      These two probably started a new band, wherever they are (or might be). But if you hear me, guys-thank you for Slipknot & the other kinds of music you gave us over the years,
      and thank you even more for the motivation, inspiration and the proof that dreams do come true sometimes... 🤘

      You only need to listen to one or two songs by Stone Sour to realise that Corey's talent far surpasses the "generic metalhead" label people are always slapping on him.
      I remember as a 12 or 13 year old being scared at first when I heard this, then curious and eventually mesmerised. Theres a level of depth and premeditated coherency in their songs that most bands just can't achieve, but its also not making any false promises about being accessible. Its like "this is happening to your ears now whether you like it or not" and I always loved that about slipknot
      Its like all their songs are filled to bursting with these tiny moments of excellent musicianship (or production) that go over the average listeners head...

    One thing I've always loved about Slipknot is the combination of a "raw" quality (kegs and percussion and chugging riffs) and yet there is still technicality and flare there if you really pay attention. They're almost like.. an angry all-American freight train where all the parts come together in harmony to create controlled chaos. The parts are delightfully "rusty" on purpose but goddamn is it ever driving you forward.

      Besides the tone, I think it's the fact that it's not perfect. There's mistakes in there. A little buzz. A note that's juuuuuust off beat. It makes it human. There's a bunch of Cliff Burton solo'd tracks on youtube and you hear the same thing. It's not quantized, it's not on a grid.

When i first bought the album, and listened to every track, they came out with music videos for some of the songs, during that year of release. I dont know about you, but even back then, I sometimes listened to the music i liked, with headphones on. So with headphones, if you know anything about music, there is no way you could not hear and notice the mixing in the background.
      Furthermore, I've seen this band live, since back in 97' in small venues, as well as large venues, and when watching them live, there is no denying it. Its right there, and you can hear it.
      So, nobody is lying to you, ok? just because you didnt hear it, and also never put two and two together, after watching a video or even thinking about perhaps, what instruments to all these crazy play? or are they just hype men who run around the stage like at an ICP show?
      You know, some people think about these things, and its ok that you didnt. Its good that you know now, but accusing people of lying over something this not only well known for years, but alos fucking OBVIOUS, if you ever watched one of their videos, where they are all performing like would a live show, sheesh..

    One of the best channels on YT... period. I always come away from a Beato vid knowing something I didn't before. Thank you Rick!

    I love how there are techniques in music that can't be defined, even by a pro like Rick, but can only be labeled as "heavy" \m/

    Rick, you make music I don't like more interesting for me :) Thank you!

      Ikr?!? I don't even really like Slipknot but the way this wizard man explains it, makes me like this song now!

      Everybody learns when they expose themselves to things they don't normally engulf themselves in. Rick is a treasure indeed! Good day guys!

      The fact Rick seems to appreciate almost every style of music helps with this too.

    The isolated verse drums and bass at 9:51 sounds so groovy! Kinda sounds like a catchy anime opening tbh lol
    God, I miss Paul and Joey.

    Please do a song from Korn in the future! Seeing you play in drop B was wicked. This is probably my favorite video from you so far.

      My early vote is in, please do Blind or Got the Life or Falling Away From Me. Yes they were mainstream but when I hear them I'm gonna be reminded of all the cool stuff Rick will teach us!
