Rick Beato - a recommendation for music lovers

[HedgeHog]

At no point in the past has been the amount of great Black and Death Metal bands that there are now.

What does that have to do with his "take". I don't recall him disparaging any metal. He doesn't care for the new contemporary stuff.

I think he chatted with Ola Englund too.

Yeah, Rick is great if you like tired old boomer sh*t.

He loves Tosin, Devin Townsend, Tim Henson, and Aaron Marshall. Hardly call those guys old boomer stuff.

Ah, I think you’re referring to his guests. I thought you were talking about his interview style…

 

[CapMan]

And so do I, and i'm not even a boomer but a music lover.

Me too - I'm interested in being educated, and these "tired old boomers" have put enough time into their craft to do just that

 

[CapMan]

I would add this -

Music is comprised of 1) notes and 2) silence

The "old boomers" are wise enough to know that you need plenty of 2 to make great music. It seems to be forgotten sometimes these days

According to him and looking at streaming numbers, younger generations do not engage with Metal.

Older generations didn't too with the cases I considered. So what? They are alive and thriving.

Is this the vid you are referring to?

Cuz he was wondering why no one listens anymore. You can't compare the current metal scene with the popular music scene. While some new metal bands are pretty good, they are a niche market in comparison to those TikTokky songs.

What's with the "older generation" stuff. I am pretty old and love Blast Aus Nord as well as old jazzy stuff and elevator music.

Bands such as Blut Aus Nord (fantastic band, btw) are niche, but the style has never been mainstream. Young kids do not listen to them, but neither older generations.

If the "biggest" in the 90's were bands such as Morbid Angel, they were not big even then.

Maybe start a thread about metal bands to discuss in more detail?
