Thats what I loved about the 1990s, it was such a freeform decade. Frank Zappa talks abou how the 1960s was like that. Nobody in the industry really knew what was going on , and as a result you got all these strange collaborations and really unusual bands getting signed. I think the 90s was.a bit like that for a while. The industry was completely upended by Nirvana and for thel longest time afterwards a lot of really unusual acts where getting signed because the record execs where all "fuck it, the kids seem to like it, sign em" And so you'd get stuff like Beck and Johnny cash doing a tour together. This is something that never could have occurded before, or after the 90s. I'm just waiting for something truly underground to break water once again so we get another decade of true innovation. We're about due for it.
No doubt,shows like that in the 90’s was common,man I miss the 90’s ....it might have something to do with the fact that I was in my 20’s 😉I turned 21 in 1992 in LA
+Industrial Savior I actually like hearing people say that because it includes Trent Reznor. I think to this day people are even more unaware of what happened with "The Downward Spiral" breaking ground than someone like Beck. But that plays into the theory that while Trent may have truly shown sounds and layers unheard to the human ear at the time (I believe it was 94) he failed to reinvent his sound the way say Beck or even Radiohead has over the years. For most that tends to have more longevity. Sorry, not sure I have a point outside of "I agree". So I'll leave it at that.
Ryan Ranger Early NIN was good, but Tent Reznor didn't invent any new sounds that were "unheard of". Swans and other early industrial bands and even early no wave bands did it way earlier.
beck can do everything. he was always just written off as this "slacker, ironic" guy in the 90s but at his heart he really wasn't...he was a really authentic folk musician
Cash wasn't one of those artists who stayed hermetically sealed within their own era, dismissing all modern music. He kept up with the times and served as an inspiration and mentor to a lot of young artists near the end of his life.
Very true and he didn’t look down on people. I honestly admire him because even as a self proclaimed Christian (same as me) he’s never been judgmental or like you said, sealed off with this idea that he’s above anyone. He was open. He was a hard addict (same here) and when you’ve been there and get on the other side of it you understand how easy it is to be at the bottom. To be looked at as less than when you’re still of the same spirit inside just broken. You nailed it. He was open to other things and willing to see the good in everything. His variety show back in the day was amazing. I’ve seen clips, he invited everyone on.
Just a point, Cash WAS modern music. He came up with the Million Dollar Quartet: Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Elvis at Sun Records. He might have been a bit more country, but he wasn't old fashioned. And back in the day he was doing songs with Bob Dylan and covering the Stones. So he was always hip.
I remember there was an interview w/ cedric and omar from mars volta/at the drive in and they talked about meeting Johnny and how he was showing them hardcore bands from DC he liked.
+MUDSWAT Hence the moment of Beck's tears.... It's true though. The man in black had a good ear. I love that he noticed a significant handful of bands and performers I loved as well.
Beck is a musical genius. It's an amazing gift being able to write a song out of thin air-like the universe and stars all aligned in that perfect moment. Beck's music always seemed as if he's not taking anything too seriously and just having fun. Some of the songs, lyrics, even their names are totally absurd at first glance, but with each listen you start to notice the layering and driving genius behind it.
Ha! You ain't got to tell me, I've been with Beck since the beginning ;) I heard that Johnny Cash was into Beck before Mellow Gold's "Loser"...they were neighbors or something in LA? Beck put demo tapes "Banjo Stories" etc.. in Johnny Cash's mailbox. Just good to know Johnny Cash had such a brilliant ear as all the greats do :D
Greg Williams Really? Ironic? I guess. I’d buy satirical. Not sure about ironic. Beck was pretty young during this interview. He may have been sarcastically or satirically(both are usually attempts at humor)wiping tears but there’s always truth in humor. I think his feeling was appropriate. Maybe he didn’t have real tears flowing because he was emotionally spent from touring or because he is a sociopath(jk). However, he certainly knew what having an artist like Cash enjoy even ONE of his songs meant. So he went through the motions of emotions instead of gushing verbally. I could be wrong. It may have been ironic and maybe he has or had some disdain for Cash. Ironically implies some form of opposite. Maybe I’m wrong. Totally open to discussion
It's funny Beck says wrote Rowboat so quickly. I think Johnny Cash said he wrote Big River in less than 10 minutes. I don't know what that means, but it's interesting.
Beck's folk rock stuff is his best work in my opinion. Sea Change was my favourite album of his until Morning Phase came out, and now that's easily his best work I think. I got to see him in 2019. Songs like Loser and Where It's At were SO much fun, but when he was playing Heart is a Drum and Blue Moon he was totally in his element.
A lot of people didn't like 'Mutations' but I really did. It's much more melancholy than 'Mellow Gold' almost as if Beck was feeling withdrawn because of the fame he didn't want. 'Odelay!' was his bounce back full force.
Becks like "yeah didn't have any song for this lapsteel guitar guy so you know, just wrote it quickly before he showed up, nbd" Creates song that Johnny fucking Cash loves. Typical genius lol.
If Johnny Cash the icon, says your special, wow, Beck you should be honored. Love you Johnny, and love you Beck, keep on rocking, your sea will change, because you know where it's at, no loser baby
That would be an understatement. "Save my life I'm going down for the last time" is more like it. I'm always a huge fan of anyone this good who really should no longer be amongst us but Beck in particular does absolutely have a gift too. One of those gifts is absolute total honesty as I recall. "Yeah, that's real!" cuz, that's Beck. Any real rockers should be hugging this kid to death and especially these old timers who can barely hang today as he has so much to be of the genuine. Very rare in the music World.
I love finding things like this on TH-cam. Little Gems that seem to find me out of the blue and tie together two threads of my musical Odyssey through the years. And it's an amazing thing how the paths of two very different but amazingly pure artist seem to cross paths and recognize one another as fellow travelers down the same paths. I can imagine a large record company party thats just packed with people chatting away and some how if Beck and Johnny Cash were on opposite sides of the crowded room they would some how be able to sense the presence of one another and gravitate towards eachoth and spend the whole night talking about music in there own little world. They say it takes genius to recognize genius sometimes.
When Leonard Cohen first met Bob Dylan, Dylan asked Cohen “hey that song of yours, Hallelujah, I really like that song, it’s like a prayer. How long did it take you to write that?” Cohen, embarrassed of saying the truth which took him 4-6 years to write it, he lied & said it took him 2 years. The Cohen asked Dylan about a song he liked of his & asked him how long it took him to write that, to which Dylan replied “30 minutes in the back of a bus”.
I always love when the Old Guard talks about newer artists because usually it's the other way around but people like Bowie and Elton, they were always vocal about new acts. It's nice.
+r boyington Like Liza Minelli. Wait what are we talking about? I suppose "we" weren't talking about anything. I just impulsively and randomly decided to jump in and lower IQ's with my idiocy. Shit, sorry about that. After over an hour of watching nostalgic things, time traveling and leaving thoughtful comments I had to counterbalance a bit. You're the innocent bystanders. So why not just erase this? Good question (Narcissism?).
In my perspective beck is one of the greatest composers ever to live I really believe his understanding of song writing is unmatched by most well known musicians of this era. Just remember there’s always someone you haven’t heard that you’ll like more than your favorite you just haven’t discovered them yet
Johnny Cash had a great ear for music. If you ever get stuck on tryin to find out what some good contemporary music to download, research what Johnny Cash was listening to while he was alive. Whatever the genre, he really liked it all.
You are a sweetheart, drove you to the first aid in Amsterdam when your bass player busted your hand during the show remember mate? this was 1992 I guess. still recall the label assholes wining bout shit grrr. great nite we had mate and what amazing music, tnx bruv! and ps your hand was a ok. and thank you Rick Rubin for persuading the man in black to do this wow
I believe he wrote that song in a few minutes. If you have a clear mind and clear emotions, if nothing is compressing that hose, then it will shoot out that fast.
@@tokiisradical5760 yeah Bowie was a big DG fan. Love DG. Awesome band that has their genius overlooked because of meme culture. Bowie saw their talent.
BECK!! Mah MAYN! This dude steps out there, yo. He frkn cracks me up, too! I love his sense of humor. I seen him play in concert and rather than enter the stage with a bunch of lights and powerful introduction, he emerges from the crowd with a leaf blower and walks onto a dark stage then they hit the lights and he starts jammin. Oh Beck, I love ya. Your mama raised you up right so give her props because you are "special". Oh yes I mean "SPECIAL". He is... well ... you know... "SPEcial"... Haha!
That was a very cool moment. Cash was very influential across generations. I think it's amazing how some of the 90's went full circle back to the source. If you listen to Nirvana's unplugged album, you can also imagine Johnny Cash doing some of those Appalachian sounding folky tunes. Cobain even said in an interview once that he could relate to Cash.
You'd be surprised how many of the greatest songs of all time were written on whim. more than half the time, songwriting about being able to capture fleeting moments on paper or a recording, and then remembering how to play it later,.
I think this is the mindset musicians need to have to have any endurance in the public eye. Bowie was the same way about Pixies and Sonic Youth for example, you need to be open to and appreciate the avant garde and people taking music in new directions. When you produce something great it leaps music forward but there will be other artists that build on the progression you created such that standing still for too long will make you a dinosaur.
@Snotra thanks so much for sharing your story! i love hearing such things... i always imagined beck to be like this, a kindred person with a big heart.. but of course you can only imagine when youve never met him..but this brings me closer to think i see him with the right eyes. theres too many asshole out there just going for the cash...but damn, beck always impressed me so much.
i'm speechless, what an amazing clip. one of my favorite beck songs ("you wrote it in just a couple hours?" 'oh no, i wrote it REALLY quick' - amazing!) and to get such a high compliment from johnny cash, talk about blessed!
@@TheCanadianDreamEvergreen Punks can be genius. I'd actually think more likely to be genius. You have to think differently to be a genius and that is required to be a punk.
Not much without the steel guitar? WITH the steel guitar, it's GREAT & even beautiful! WITHOUT the steel guitar, as we hear here, it's just as great & even just as beautiful!!
is it just me-or do i hear some out of key singing from BOTH of them?-dont hate me I love these guys-but somethin was off with Johnny for a note- and Beck sounded out on the whole thing.is it supposed to be dissonant?is that the style?for effect?i cant figure it out-
I hated loser back when it was popular, and I still kind of do, but then i heard the later album with devils haircut and those songs, and it's really good. And I love Deadweight.
Beck and Johnny Cash on the same night must have been surreal
God damn I'm sad i missed it.

If Cash likes your music, then you receive automatic respect. Beck is the shit.
I love how he was tearing up watching cash say how much he liked and was impressed with some of his work.

+Industrial Savior I actually like hearing people say that because it includes Trent Reznor. I think to this day people are even more unaware of what happened with "The Downward Spiral" breaking ground than someone like Beck. But that plays into the theory that while Trent may have truly shown sounds and layers unheard to the human ear at the time (I believe it was 94) he failed to reinvent his sound the way say Beck or even Radiohead has over the years. For most that tends to have more longevity. Sorry, not sure I have a point outside of "I agree". So I'll leave it at that.
Ryan Ranger Early NIN was good, but Tent Reznor didn't invent any new sounds that were "unheard of". Swans and other early industrial bands and even early no wave bands did it way earlier.

He might have been a bit more country, but he wasn't old fashioned. And back in the day he was doing songs with Bob Dylan and covering the Stones. So he was always hip.

You gotta be when you write and play every instrument in the band by yourself 😂
I love that Johnny Cash could hear Beck's brilliance way before Beck was a big deal!
+Fast Heart Mart Beck was a "big deal" when Mellow Gold dropped. That was in the early 90's.

Dude's been a badass from day one.
How is that Johnny Cash, an old timer near his death knew who Beck was, but millions of young kids had no clue who he was just recently?
When you get used to it, makes you forget, new people enter this plane every day
He's a musician's musician. And kids today... have you heard what they play on the radio? I honestly feel sorry for these kids.

First time I heard 'Loser' in 1993 and then the Mellow Gold album I thought, 'Beck is the new Bob Dylan.'
It's talent that recognises talent, it's as simple as that. The vehicle (style) might be different but a good song is a good song.
Becks fucking awesome
Johnny Cash was such a generous musician.
Just ironic that Johnny Cash never won the Grammy Album of the Year, but Beck did...
How is that ironic?
chippchipp1 I'm with you, it's not ironic. People don't know the meaning of irony nowadays, now that's ironic.
Mozart never won album of the year either.....Cash will be remembered along them lines far above any award.
Cash won plenty of Grammy's what are you talking about.
Beck....impressing a legend with his style. You gotta have a big brass set just to sit in that room.
Thank you very much for posting this. It is wonderful.
I hated loser back when it was popular, and I still kind of do, but then i heard the later album with devils haircut and those songs, and it's really good. And I love Deadweight.
"It's not much without the steel guitar." Man, I love this song more than your two great tragedy albums, it's pretty good.
I love Beck
Everyone likes Beck
