Billy is such an underrated guitarist. This episode should have 10X the views and comments. Thanks so much for having him.
i feel like people don't really get what that phrase means, dude is super famous, trying listening to more bands
I hold his work in high regards. He's so damn good, Phil
I can only imagine what would come out if Billy made music with Trent Reznor.
'Passive' song
@jacquesdemolay4516 what a clown haha
I love the space in this. Billy absolutely captured the essence of the 80's style with a modern twist. I love this format Rick. People talking about their new projects.
Exactly my thought. Particularly his voice reminds me of songs of that time. Now when my wife asks "How do we find new music worth listening to?" I tell her that Rick's channel is a great source. Album downloaded, vinyl on the way in the Fall! Rick sells me lots of albums! 🤣
That it will be available on vinyl is definitely a plus in my book!

Danny Lohner is basically a legend for me. Involved in so many great pieces of music I love. Thank you, Renholdër!
You're welcome 👍
@@RenholderDLohner renholder responded omg
@@RenholderDLohner This right here is one of the reasons you are a legend. Taking the time to respond to a fan! Many years ago on either Facebook or MySpace I wrote you and thanked you for your involvement in APC and you wrote me back. I was blown away then and now I see that you are still in touch with your fans! I know this was a year ago, but still so awesome!
Woodstock '94 with NIN was my favorite Danny moment. Trent, Danny and Robin stalking around the stage covered in mud was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
@@RenholderDLohner 😊
Wow, Billy's album is great, gives me vibes of Depeche Mode with the mix of the latest APC
Almost a Puscifer vibe
Yep, I hear that too. And a little bit of the Cure in Beautiful Mistake. All great stuff!
Tears for fear
The Black Queen put out 2 albums. Steve Alexander does some excellent work regarding inventive guitar scapes and songwriting. Greg Puciato does the vocals and Joshua Eustis (Telefon Tel Aviv) with Puscifer credits, Nine Inch Nails remixer and live performer brings it all into shape with some exquisite sound design. Exceptional output and highly recommended.
Sounds like NIN
Billy is a straight up genius! If you’ve never heard his other solo project Ashes Divide….do yourself a favor and check it out! You will not be disappointed.
I came here to say this!!! The Ashes Divide album he did is one of the few albums I listen to in its entirety still to this day!
the legendary Danny Lohner. ❤
Danny is an absolute hero man, monster of a player and ear and unique human being, he's hilarious, big respect would love to work with him
The a perfect circle song Renholder is named after him, I think it’s his nickname but I know it had his last name in it backwards
criminally underrated. He has touched so many of my favorite artists.
@@dennismonroe2369 everyone and everything is underrated hey.
@@timalvarez558 Like Redrum, but Redlohner :P
Thank you Leon,I'm happy i can be q motivation to people like you
Somehow, I had no idea this album existed until watching this interview. Sound great! Just ordered the vinyl and bought it on iTunes.
Very Depeche Mode. Big fan of Billy’s ever since I first heard A Perfect Circle. Was fortunate to see them in Brisbane on the Mer De Noms tour, as a lifelong Tool fan it was awesome to see Maynard in a different incarnation and Billy’s playing was really heavy and tastefully done. As a drummer Josh Freese was a beast and just a blast, a joy to watch. Thanks for the interview Rick.
It’s great seeing Danny pop up more places since the rock and roll hall of fame.
😶🌫️Hmm..🤔..makes sense.. Nice observation, my friend. Agreed & Indeed, that is great.
Is no one going to point out the epicness of Renholder's Iron Sheik socks?? Lol
Should have had Nikolai volkoff on one though
Billy is probably my favorite guitarist. I remember being a kid in the early 00s just getting into guitar and listening to Mer De Noms and just being amazed at what he could make the guitar sound like. APC is still the best concert I’ve been to to this day.
Same. I fell in love with Billy through apc. He's a class act and a gentleman. It brings me alot of joy seeing so many people supporting his new music. ❤️
I love the new album! Awesome Depeche Mode vibes
There's a lot of musical talent sitting in that room. Billy's a great player, but his vocals are really something else. I first saw Danny in NIN, and was immediately impressed watching him bounce from instrument to instrument like he'd been playing them forever.
Billy’s had a few people Trent used back in the day. It really shows the quality of talent Trent picked 20 years ago.
@@coreyclark6505 Billy itself was NIN guitar tech during the Self Destruct tour
@@ph-fi7qo /no shit?! I had no idea... thx!
He’s one of the best artists that’s blessed the audio visual world .
Man “weak & powerless” is just amazing! I love Billy Howerdel! Without him APC wouldn’t even exist! He is so underrated! One of the absolute BEST musicians out there!
Amazing. I'm blown away. Billy I LOVE your sound. Now it is clear to me who the genius behind APC is. So incredibly powerful, soul wrenching stuff. True ART
To see Billy and Danny is so cool.
Lovely music. I hear influences from Depeche Mode, The Cure, & maybe even a little Tears for Fears (not saying any rip-off is going on, just a "vibe") and the vocal is serene. One of those albums you could listen to on a warm night, watching the stars, as you drift away.
Nicest compliments. Thank you
Yeah good call. I get a little of that "Hurting"/"Pale Shelter" feel from some of that too. Love that feel. I'm going to have to check this out.
Spot on! I heard these elements too, especially Depeche Mode - Gahan like soothing tones in his voice. Billy has done brilliantly with this album, been a great listen with many layers. Different to Ashes Divide and artistically great that's the case too.
That's what I heard straight away on 'Free and Weightless'.
Saw these gents perform in California recently, beautiful show
Renholder and Billy? SWEET!!!
the way Billy uses Delays...is something unique on its own;!!! sounds like nothing else and especially sophisticated to create depth and space ...just awesome....if there's a way that Billy explains how he achieves these clean/slightly overdriven tones that sparkle and spread in space like particles in suspension caught by the daylight just crazy stuff in many of his records...such a great tone maker this genius....he put his mark in the modern music....it's less that we can say ..at least...
Danny is such an unassuming genius. Dude can do it all
Thanks May
I am convinced Billy is a vampire and doesn't age. He looks the same as he did when APC first started. lol And love the new album and that fact that he works with the legendary Danny Lohner! Who is one of my heroes!
Thank You Robert for all the love,Billy is also an amazing person and I'm happy doing this with him
"Big deal in Europe" cracked me a little :)
Since Mer De Noms I have been a huge fan of his otherworldly guitar sound! What Normal Was is such an incredible gift! Thank you Billy and thank you Rick for all your amazing interviews and analysis!
It's shame that such great interview is on Rick's second channel... "What Normal Was" is a great album that deserves as much exposure as possible
not afraid to admit that I gushed a bit when he introduced Danny Lohner. Was a huge fan of his in the early days of NIN
Even if Billy and co. tried to sound like it wasn't them, it will always be unmistakably Billy. No one else sounds remotely similar to his style.
Dude Danny is so hilarious. This was a really cool sit-down.
This interview needs to be longer….
It's my wish for Danny to rejoin Nails .
Danny Lohner in the Swans shirt...and the drunk Maynard trashing Troy story was on point...thanks Rick!
This is an example of great contemporary music in my opinion. As a fan of Prog from way back, I love this kind of thoughtful creativity and artists following their own unique paths and not trying to emulate current trends that often results in mediocre, dated music.
Billy Howerdel is able to make ANYTHING sound interesting. It makes me wonder "what's gonna do next"?.....Everytime......I simply love his way of making music just as much as...the music he makes!! Mesmerizing.
Saw Billy live last week and it was freaking great , Danny on guitar, everything felt organic.
Great interview! Nice to see others interested in what Danny Lohner's up to these days as well. Personally feel he deserved more credit, and thought I'd see him leave more of a mark on music by now. Throughout the years, he leaves his stamp on noteable collaborations behind the scenes. Live, havent seen him play in years, but he has a gravitating presence that added to the energy on stage. Good to see him surrounding himself with good company. Time to see what this album's all about
He recently played in Mexico with Till Lindermann from Rammstein!!! Till's bassist couldn't make it and Danny took over
Weak & powerless is one of the most soul touching alt tracks with one of the best mixes I’ve personally have ever heard
Oh my goodness. This is giving me new age vibes and love it. How the hell did I miss this?!
Just bought the album. Great job, Billy.
I couldn't press play quick enough when the video popped up! This album is terrific and is another beautiful addition to Billys near flawless catalogue. Sweet socks Danny x
“Yeah he knows how to play it!” 🤣
Well done good souls!
That Beautiful Mistake was giving me the chills!
Danny Lohner is such a titan. He truly deserves a one-on-one interview/talk.
Billy has nailed it! His new material is outstanding! I was close to tears I’m so happy for him he deserves recognition! 👏
The album is absolutely marvelous and hypnotic. I rarely fall in love with a musical creation as of late, yet since the moment I heard “Beautiful Mistake” I’ve been having a transcendental experience throughout. Thank you, Rick, for the interview and introduction to Mr. Howerdel’s solo masterpieces!
I wrote (“Hurt”) lol & “Closer” 🤣
bring honor back home WHAT A BEAUTY OF A SONG
Saw them in Denver at the start of the tour. Probably 100 people in attendance. It was great! The band was so engaging and sincere. Brought my 18 yo son for his first live show at a venue this size. The crowd was so cool. Get out and see them if you can, totally worth it!
Billy is an amazing guitarist and songwriter!
One absolute in life is that a Billy Howerdel record is going to sound exquisite with some beautiful soundscapes and lush guitars. I love how good his albums sound.
Also Danny is fricken hilarious. I love all of his remixes he has done over the years. Go check them out. Plus the dude wrote "Hurt" and "Closer" and anything Trent Reznor does in the future.
Best episode by far! 🙌
I remember that performance of Bohemian Rhapsody!! It was at Staples Center for E3!!
🤘😁🤘
Just started listening to this album and glad I did! Wow what a sound and great tunes!
That song made me imagine if Alan Wilder re-joined Depeche Mode in this decade
Highest compliment 🥰
15:49 that was a very heartfelt& humble "Thanks" from Billy.🤗🤝
Whoo Steve Alexander from The Black Queen!!
Have to admit this is one of my fave albums at the moment absolutely fantastic
@Rickbeato2 how do i get a hold of you
Have no idea to get a hold of you lol
Great interview, but wouldn't it be awesome if Renholder could have his own separate interview? Thanks for all you do Rick, always the best questions...
Smile,thank you all for the love
Mr. Rick Beato, you just seem to out do yourself each episode you put out. Incredible arsenal of guests. Your awesome Meastro
Man I had missed this one. Glad I found it. Billy is a genius 🙌
Devin Townsend interview? Would love to hear Rick pick his thoughts on production, songwriting, gear, live performance, life in general!!!
This video had me proceeding immediately to Billy’s website where I purchased the vinyl, the CD and plan on picking up some Merch. The segment was fabulous, the music sublime and me, I want more segment’s like these !!!!!
Thank you 🙏
Billy is so unique, amazing musician…wish I could meet this guy!
If this went on for over an hour I'd still love this! and I never expected The Black Queen to be mentioned on this channel 🖤
YESSSS!
I love this format!! Billy's projects (APC/Ashes Divide/Solo) are super special for me. Seeing him here with Rick, just awesome 🔥
Met Billy back in the Projekt Revolution tour in 2008 backstage. Never met before but we had a deep 10-15 min conversation about music. Lol. My ex took a few pics from afar, with him and I both deep in talk. Great guy.
Omg you're doing guest now are you insane? NEXT LEVEL RICK!
Absolutely, my most favorite guitarist, hands down... his riffs are so haunting, I love it.
Love Danny's Iron Sheik socks
This was awesome Rick! You should definitely highlight more new artist releases and albums! Thanks for the suggestion!
They sound so much like a mix of The Cure and Sonic youth. Love this sound!
🙏
Nice. That first track reminds me of Depche Mode.
indeed! I just thought the same thing before seeing you comment...
I actually searched the comments to see if anyone else already said this. It has a huge DM feel. Which is not a bad thing.
I've been a huge fan of Billy with the Perfect Circle stuff, but it's so great that his solo album is a completely different experience. I've also really enjoyed the Renholdër mixes for ages. They work so well together. Just bought it.. listened to it.. love it!
Need a reminder to drink more water in Summer? Be like Billy Howerdel, everytime Rick Beato plays a new song of his, prompts him to take a sip of water.
What I like about Billy's songs is that you have to listen to it over and over again to get the details 🇧🇷👇✌️
Is Danny "Renholder" Lohner wearing The Iron Shiek socks? 😂
OH MY GOSH!!!!! YES!!
Im glad someone finally noticed that through-composed guitar part. Learning that when I was a teenager made me think " how the hell is nobody talking about this extremely original and melodic part", it's very unusual.
Excellent interview. I bought the album because of it . Thank you Rick for the content !!
Love the sound of this album.
Billy is the man
Proud of Billy.. phenomenal musician with great artist around him ⭐⭐✨✨
I'm in love with so many songs in this album, it gives me a She Wants Revenge + Depeche Mode vibe, I love it.
Nice VOWWS t shirt !!!
Very cool that he brought some of the background cats who help get shit done, and in reality make shit happen! Without these cats, we wouldn't have most of the shit that we have! And no one ever knows! Not that being a producer of an album is background...but it really is.
One of my guitar heroes ❤️
😎 Thanks Guys Rick!!! ⚓️
Thank you so much!!
I think I just found my "Australian Ouback" album. This needs a listen on headphones in that wide open wilderness stargazing from my swag
This album is amazing. Everyone I’ve turned on to it loves it ! Got to see him live a couple months ago. Also incredible. So different and fresh !!!
Super cool of Billy and the crew to do this!
Yes!
Kudos for arranging this Rick!
Billy’s guitar tone is so unique whether clean or overdriven. His sense of feel and dynamics is some of the best in the business.
This is the first time I listened to an interview with Billy, it was great. Thank you!
I've never seen an artist listen to their own music. Very interesting. Thank you.
Great interview, but I'd like to hear more from Danny too!
Cant stop tripping on "The Sheik" socks Danny Lohner be rocking
