Imagine being able to listen to something you created when you were a teenage musician and not being horribly embarrassed by it.
HA HA only about half a percent of all people in teen bands can admit that now
Hahahahha that will never happen!!hahah I cringe every time I slip one of those old messed up tapes in and listen.
I’m embarrassed by recordings I did six months ago.
I haven’t even summoned up the courage to dig them out and listen, lol. This kinda makes me want to. One of my band mates had a four track cassette machine (his folks had $$) and I think a lot of those tapes were recorded on that. Might be a problem… there may be some mix down two channel tapes mixed in though. I just gotta root around in the storage shed and find that big PopTart box. I saw it a couple years ago. 😂
Ha ha ha, somewhere I have the audio from my Junior High School Talent Contest from 1976, we played the KISS song Black Diamond.
Gosh I miss the 1970s.
Rick you NEED to get these guys back in the studio for a Monroz reunion episode with modern production
this x 10
I'd sign this petition
We need this. Please!
that would be awesome
PLEASE DO IT!!! Just giving this video and comment a 'like' aren't enough for me, so I'mma leave this comment!
They made this around the time I was born in 1978. It's cool enough (even when it's cringe lol) to find some of my crappy recordings from the 1990's. Hearing this vicariously gives me that same feeling but actually better! I'm giddy!
Considering it was recorded as a demo by high school kids in like the mid-late 70s, this actually sounds pretty well mixed
Hey Rick, this could be a pretty interesting idea for your channel - going to some of the great musicians that you've interviewed and asking them to bring in tapes of their first, or early bands. I bet it would be fun for them and so interesting to their fans. It could be pretty encouraging for beginning musicians too; to hear that their heroes started out as beginners, just like everyone else...
This is the best idea ever
Oh awesome idea
The world needs a Monroz reunion - How about a full studio session recreating these tracks?
WE NEED THIS
Yes
With the leather jackets and sunglasses!!
YES!!!!
PLEASE
45 years later and still referring to the band as 'the guys', now that's the best way to describe the magical bond of a teenage band ❤❤
YOU GUYS GOTTA GET IN THE STUDIO AND MAKE THIS AN ALBUM
Based on this demo, I think you have a really bright future in music. Go for it!
Agreed. I think this Rick guy might have something special. I look forward to seeing if he makes something of himself.
Rock On Frylock!
@@IRgEEK Rock on Chicago. Wheaties, the breakfast of champions.
Rick played in a PUNK BAND?? This is the best news I've heard all day! LOL 😀
👍 45 yrs ago...
Que the MONROZ band tees...
That solo! Total 70's.
hahaha thought the same thing
@@theDyingArts I'd buy one!
It's official. Rick's been cool his entire life. This demo is really good.
The pure joy on Rick's face listening to these old tunes is awesome!
A band that I love called Mr. Bungle recently remade their original demo album made in their teens called "The Raging Wrath of The Easter Bunny Demo" , the original version was already pretty freakin cool but listening to it with all their years of mastery put into it just made it a great and fresh album for me. The Monroz's songs are already great and super catchy and I'd love to listen to these songs brought to their full potential
Yeah and it's one of the most badass hardcore albums ever
Oh yeah, wasn't Mr. Bungle the front man for Faith No More?
@@reggaerock Mike Patton* front man for both bands, among many others. You should really consider a deep dive into his work. His range is beyond most.
From, The Dillinger Escape Plan - Irony Is A Dead Scene, to Mr Bungle, to his solo work Corpse Flower, and the score for 1922. He can do anything.
@sonofnothing he sings for Dillinger Escape Plan?! My guitarist is a huge fan of them so I've heard them plenty! Crazy
@@sonofnothing I've never been a huge fan but there was 4 bars of guitar on there that hurt my face. And I've been shitting twice as much since on account of the new one it tore me. The song could be called Erascist?
God, even Rick's High School PUNK band were good musicians. Nicely done sir!
There was something in the water in Fairport back then --- all his friends were decent musicians
Exactly! This is quality punk rock, at High School level... Not something you hear every day! It's amazing.
This is so badass. I am BEGGING for a Monroz reunion for a full release of these songs.
Omg suede and monroz collab????
absolutely we need this released as demos, remastered and new-recorded
And a tour.
Especially if they play in other keys than E
@@Tubes12AX7k Yeah .. Monroz World Tour 2024 !
I love that you went to the Buzzcocks or a polished Ramones route, being more melodic rather than just pure noise. Some people don't like it and say it's poppy and think the like raw distorted noisy punk is the way, but if it arose at the same time as the rest is as punk as anything can be
Punky Power Pop rules. I love totally blown-to-bits lo-fi stuff (some of the old Japanese Hardcore bands sound downright experimental from monumentally poor production coupled with insane volume), but snappy tunes with those authentic teen vocals and crunchy guitars - just can't beat it.
Undertones, SLF, The Clash, Devo and the Stranglers (amongst many others) were more accomplished musicians than many so called more commercial bands of the period. They just held back, simplified or rough edged their skills when appropriate and released them when necessary. Contrast.
I hate the "melodic = pop" attitude. gatekeeping nonsense.
@@Syklonus Guys who say that couldn't do melodic to save their life's thats why.
@@Syklonus especially when pop isn’t always that melodic
For some demo cassettes made by a high school band from the 70s… WOW, the music is amazing! The lo-fi quality and twists remind me of both R. Stevie Moore and Ariel Pink at the same time
It blows my mind to think about all the great music that was made a long time ago, just sitting in a box of old tapes in someone's house that most people will never hear. This is really great Rick
I suspect pretty much a lot of the indie rock that came out the 2000s probably was already done in the 70s and just wasn't recorded.
It's time for a monroz reunion show. It would be awesome seeing you guys play these songs again.
The Monroz genuinely sounds like a group i would listen to. this stuff is great. please continue videos about your old band!!
My God. This is amazing. Hell yeah, Rick!!
I've obsessed over "lost" demos for what must be 1000s of bands out there we'll never get to hear. What a blessing it is that you found this gem!
This is actually some solid punk rock. Love it, Rick
Definitely! Raw and somewhat angular. It's like a weird lovechild between Mötörhead and Talking Heads!
@alessandro arcuri. It almost sounds like a “lost” Dictators track. The lo fi treatment makes it sound even better!
Absolutely - pure punk but also melodic and complex . . . not an easy thing to accomplish.
I like it!
Maybe it’s time to get the band back together and on the road.
The world needs punk rock.
This sounds similar to half my record collection as a 8th grade me.
Fun stuff. Thank for sharing that.
Oh and yes! I remember it well, really exciting time! There I was in my plastic dresses and fishnet stockings. 😅 🤣
Not only that,Rick needs to do more coverage on the punk era,it's very much in short supply,if not down right nonexistent, when you trawl through his back catalogue.For example I'd like to see him do an appreciation on The Clash,now that would be f*cking cool!
Punk Rock literally never went away. Ever. It's the people who listened to it that lazily stopped being interested in/put minimal effort into seeking it out.
Lol imagine a punk answer to Blues Brothers...if the right people work on it, that would be awesome. Plus, Belushi was a punk and deserves a good salute...
Yes Rick! I have always loved music but never played in a band. Your sessions reveal all the stuff mucians only know - recording, fooling around, brain storming, even technical stuff (chord progressions, mixing, etc) that I never was exposed to. And your interviews with some of the legends are inspiring. I'm 76, retired, and playing drums again by myself in my garage, and thank you for giving us so much of your wisdom and insights into the musical realm! Never made the big time but still dreaming!
I dig the demo. That solo was straight shred. It’s so funny how stuff you wrote years ago comes back to you so fast. The same thing happens to me with songs I wrote in college.
Man, those demos sound better than a bunch of the punk albums I grew up with.
Well a lot of punk bands thought learning to play instruments was pretty conformist 😜
@@MisterBoy316remember when everybody was anti everything?
@@EricGranata isn't that where we are now?
Mike--could you name of those punk albums that don't sound so good?
You could go to CBGB's in the late 70's and hear a lot bands shittier than Rick's punk band LOL
Amazing! Loved that band! Major moxie!
Fun Fact - drummer for The Monroz switched to bass way back and I have played in the same band w him for the last 20 years! Yea Davey!
Were you too young/old to join the Monroz? Were you in your own band back then?
@@robotunes I was still a zygote actually!
@@NorthsideJonnyBeato How are you related to Rick?
@@NorthsideJonnyBeato Ah, so you didn't know how to play yet!
you guys were really good. i'd be lucky to write songs half that good now at age 45. raw teenage talent.
I was in a death metal band in highschool. Different style of music, i know, but man I never sounded this good. Im very impressed.
There is something so romantic about punk, that no other music really has. The mutiny, the imperfection, the honesty... Only a few can make it their life, for everybody else it's just a phase. But it's also the reason why punk will never ever die.
Everyone is on the edge of Punk when they first start out. Sometimes we understand that the "phase" needs to become a thing.
Anyone who lived in the 70's can easily see why punk became popular --- when the radio was dominated by fluffy stuff by the Carpenters and Osmonds, well how do all the angry teen boys vent their sexual frustrations?
@ippos_khloros cool story
When I listen to my old music stuff from 40-50 years ago, I marvel at the energy/enthusiasm we all had!
same :) plus how on earth did I compose that knowing almost nothing about music theory :))))
We were different people then. 😂
All balls no brains, to crudely paraphrase Stephen King. Raw untrained energy is so powerful and so hard to recreate as you get more polished and proficient.
I remember biking up and down my neighborhood in the late 70's in the summer and I'd see three or four garage bands just jammin' in the driveway --- miss those days!
I listen to stuff I did 10 years ago and I can’t believe I played that fast. Back then I was always trying to play faster and never thought I was getting any better probably because it’s a slow process but looking back now I’m impressed at how good I was for how short of a time I had been playing at the time. I wasn’t a fast shredding player but my rhythms were very riffy and very fast. I was also in a punk band well pop punk but one of my favorite players was James Hetfield so my right hand back then was very fast at down picking lol. The last lead guitarist in that band actually was my guitar teacher I had for about 6 months he was a younger guy he was the same age as me but a pro level player, graduated at Atlanta musician institute top of his class in jazz guitar, when we were in the studio I broke a finger the night before we started tracking rhythm guitars so he did a rhythm track and he said man ur music is not complex they are technically each but fuck u play everything so fast lol. I ended up re doing the guitars he did because I play a lot more aggressive and the one song had a bunch of palm muting and notes mixed into it and when he played it he did play it absolutely perfect in 2 takes but he can’t down pick fast he did alt picking so it almost sounded like a computer did it because it was so perfect, It like was phasing because he played both left and right tracks so perfect they sounded thin so I played it all down picked and it was a much fatter sound
This is inspiring me to dig into my 'old tapes' box and digitize my band recordings from the early 80s. Haven't played them in probably 25 years as well...
Sweet Little Lady is a badass tune. I'd definitely have this playing when I go longboarding. You HAVE to re-record these tracks.
Listening to the rest, I LOVE this sound. You guys should have for sure gone somewhere and gotten bigger.
The whole vibe is a proper punk one. Doesn't matter if the bass is a little out of tune and you're not the greatest musicians at that point. It's raw and it has energy and you can tell there's fun being had. It would have not been out of place in a punk club with everyone pogoing along.
This was not what I expected. As a more modern punk rocker, knowing you did punk in the 70's, this was faster and much tighter than I expected.
modern punk is trash and really just repurposed pop music with a slightly harder edge to it.
Your joy is palpable Rick. A philosopher once said “The greatest joy there is in life is creating." Thank you for sharing the joy!
Which philosopher?
@@sybo59 i would also like to know
@@sybo59 literally l. ron hubbard hahaha. "A philosopher" is kind of a stretch but hey, he's not wrong
@@countedcrowzero Shh! Xenu is watching!
I freakin' love this! A perfect balance of competence, musical smarts and "yeah, whatever" attitude. I'm still singing the chorus to "Run Away with Me."
Man, I gotta say that I woulda followed your punk, rock band around all over town. Wherever you guys played I would have been there dancing and screaming my head off 🤩🤩🤩
Maybe its just me but I think its time to get the guys back together for a jam of the three originals... now that would be "full circle" success for all!
Those songs are bangers!... Need to get the guys back together and do a little live performance of those songs. This is what the internet was made for.
Everyone one of us can relate to the awesome nostalgia that comes with finding old recordings of an old band you were in, whether a demo, live recording, or even just fooling around in the rehearsal space. I think you got us all in the feels Rick! I for one would love to watch an episode of "Early Rick Masterpieces"!
You absolutely HAVE to put together a surprise reunion of the Monroz for a Rick Beato live show one day soon.
Now I want a whole series where you through all the tapes in that box. Just to see what’s on them
That sounds is so "Rochester". I miss that scene. This is slightly before my time, I was more into bands like The Fugitives back in the 80's. This is great stuff, thank you for giving us a listen.
This makes me embarased by my own teenage songs, but also make me want to go back to them and improve on them. Thank you so much for sharing! I would definitely jam out to The Monroz!
A punk band full teenage kids who could actually play their instruments well...bit of a unicorn back in the day.
It would have been fun to see you guys play the DC scene back then.👍
TBF not sure they would have fit in with most of the "punk" scene back then. They're very polished and had a pop sensibility. I think they might have gotten farther in the 90s/Warped Tour era of pop punk but obviously they were ahead of that by like a decade.
@@gwpeoples Punk was sort of a catch-all term that covered a lot ground musically. Punk with pop sensibilities existed before the 1990s. The buzzcocks come to mind.
I love how animated Rick gets listening to music, and the looks on his face. Pure magic.
Every musician does this, people look at me odd on trains because I am moving my playing fingers when I listen to a track I know how to play on bass. Especially when there are 16th notes, it is almost like a exercise to keep the fingers strong.
@@organicmechanic5150 "Some or many musicians do this....." Fixed it for you. I've been playing guitar since I was 14, and I don't do it.
Rick, I’ve been following you for years now and I really enjoyed this insight to your history!!!! You guys were the originators of punk!!! I loved listening to your old school tracks 👍
Once again, what a pleasure to feel your love for your old good times, music and and friends.
Keep on rockin' Rick !
Those songs are awesome. I feel like this is just the beginning of this story. You should get the band together, record the songs again and do a live session or something. It’d be the best.
I don't know who's smile is bigger, mine or Rick's. One of the biggest gifts a person can receive (whether by opening a scrapbook or being told a story, etc.) is a new or revived memory of a time, a place, and the people you were with. So much joy here.
Sounded great! Glad you were able to find and preserve this.
Love these time machine moments, found my band tape from 1992 recently, what a trip! Your smile says it all Rick!
Rick Beato as a punker. This gets better and better. That second song is a blast. I love it.
It was just a teen phase --- Rick eventually became an adult and focused on jazz and rock
@@fredwerza3478 booooo! That's the kiss of death and bs cause it's just a excuse to not writing songs. Like songwriting is juvenile but playing overly sterile jazz in a proficient manner is what real men play. Try. Writing one good song and then do it again and ask yourself which is left vase
10 years ago, I found a tape from my 1970 band Devastation and shared it with the group members. And we had so much fun back then and it was great to catch up with all the guys. At age 65 two of us are still playing in bands. Our drummer went on to create KRK speakers and continues to make speakers under Klawitter Designs in LA.
Wow, he must have done well. KRK is owned by Gibson now. I am sitting in between two KRK monitors as we speak.
That was a pretty metal name for 1970!
what type of music you played?
@@rockboy360 a lot of Grand Funk Railroad inspired music. We lived near their hometown in Detroit area.
Rick! That's so great! So sincere and genuine! Thank you so much for sharing!
(I guess I know how nostalgic you feel, a year ago I met my old friend who played bass in our band and we listen through and digitized 3 hours of our recordings from late 90s)
sounds awesome, and what a nice stereo effect. i wonder how many great songs are lost in time because no one published it and no youtube existed
Dude, put it on Spotify!!! With over three million subscribers the Monroz could be a hit!
“All our songs were in E” - epic. Except the bass player played the last one in F. Your solo was worthy of Personality Crisis. Good stuff!!
I have a bunch of old tape demos too, and it's such a buzz going back to listen to them all. It takes you right back in time to that era.
You should get the guys together again and re-record these tracks.
Thus was so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your life and craft with us. Feels like spending time with the dad or grandad loads of us wish we had. Inspiring. Cheers man!
That sounds as good as any late 70's classic punk. You should release it.
The people that care to scroll through comments agree 🤗
Ricks the original OG creator of the Pop Punk genre 🤩
These tapes are actually sick! I would totally listen to these unironically
My dear Rick, thank you every damn day for giving us this unbelievable content. I'm in the process of getting out of a really bad abusive relationship and your videos help me every day to clear my mind for a bit so i thoroughly and genuinely wanted to tell you, THANK YOU.
You are amazing at being a really great human being Rick. Thank you for showing the generations after what real men are made of and that music is so so important as you always have! I am in awe that's i never knew you were Brent's producer on the album with Lost in the crowd and stuff.. that album got me through so much and when you said how he made up on the spot the lyrics to your playing "should i offer up my hand, and lay the guilt on myself". Man that was a feeling i thought he did in a way but not a clue that it was the way you explained it. So unbelievably awesome. Your a freaking blessing to many of us that appreciate what you choose to do. I'm proud to pass on everything i keep learning from you to others even after being an acoustic player for over 25 years i finally may sign up for your theory course haha you are the best! (Believe me i really NEED your theory course haha, i never have been able to learn it right get but if never too late!)
I digitised a jam tape myself and my best friends made 25 yrs ago, as a Christmas present this year. Sadly we lost our drummer to cancer last year, but I sent a copy to his parents who were unaware of how good he was on drums!
you know we need a comeback and we want steve albini to produce this... even if it's 3 songs. we need tshirts too xD
Rick, these songs are AMAZING! Please release them in an EP or something!🙏🙏
Rick, these are great songs. Remaster them and upload them to Spotify. Or, even better, get the guys back together for a new recording session.
People don't like music like this anymore
@@RJ-sy4yh not at all true. People just have more diverse tastes now
@@zenon459 I guess you speak for everyone lol
@@RJ-sy4yh most do, there's a reason why independent artists are rising to the top now. People don't just listen to pop radio, streaming is a thing now
@@RJ-sy4yhhow you gonna say “i guess you speak for everyone” sarcastically when you had literally just spoke for everyone
Please put it up on Spotify! Outstanding!! ❤ Reminded me of NYD, Stooges and Fear 🔥
Yes, Spotify. Do it!
👍
Oh my. I had so much fun looking at this. I can’t imagine how much more fun it was for you. Enjoyed it a lot. So, yes I would like more vids like this.
I enjoyed the hell out of watching you enjoy this. That solo was everything!
Superb sound great lyrics excellent and clear recording . As many here have said please try getting all the band together again if possible to record some more of this great music and please put these tracks out for all to hear .
I love this Rick!!! I've been a fan for a long time. How strange this is. I was in a band called The Monroes in the 80's. We had some success with a song called What Do All The People Know.....1982. We were on Bob Fead and Loren Safer's Alfa Records. Not sure if you ever heard it. It reached maybe 59 on Billboard. Anyways.....keep up the great work! I love everything you do maestro. You change lives every day. I appreciate it as I'm sure so many others do. Cheers, Bob Davis Monroe
I still have a regular listen to my first band’s demos from the early 90’s. I’m not embarrassed by it, it was an accurate reflection of being 14! And honestly I still think we were half decent!
This is NOSTALGIA GOLD..
You Must get your bandmates together to discuss how this all came to be..
@Rick, do this. would be a fun segment with the whole band reliving this time and recordings! Great stuff!
Oh my gosh, I love it! I hope you captured it on digital!
These songs and this finding is amazing Rick! Definitely should reissue these!
I dig this kind of stuff. First bands are where you learn to be fearless, take chances, dare to dream, don’t sweat the small stuff, overcome the obstacles and be a rebel!
This was excellent! Please release this, get the band back together, holy crap!
pleasseeeeeeee
Superb. Total joy. And that out of tune bass is great, like James Brown's The Boss. Release these, Rick!
I love this so much, this is exactly the kind of music I've been wanting to make. Speaking as a 17 year old myself. You guys kicked ass!
The band I was in when I was 17 (1989) in was called Unohoo (you know who.. see what we did there). We did a demo tape. We loved Pixies and Zodiac Mindwarp and Tone-Loc. I still reckon we could’ve had some modest and fun success as the indie scene in England then was fantastic until grunge / britpop came along and monetised and steamrollered the whole thing. Everyone’s gotta be in a band at some point! Good times/bad times 💥
Like the Oneders?
Don't know what I enjoyed the most:
A) You sharing the tape with us.
B) The bass semi tuned (added some sort of character to the tune, scruffier)
C) The expression of joy in your face.
Definitely C. Remembering something is one thing, but listening is a whole another experience. Very glad you kept it, finally found it and shared it.
Love it!! So much joy rediscovering something from your past! Been there.
Wow, this takes me back! Not that I'd ever heard of the Monroz, because I hadn't, but Sweet Little Lady reminds me so much of a Toronto band called Fictions from 79/80.
I'm glad you found your tape, Rick. It's always wonderful when something surfaces out of the archives.
Get the band back together for a performance live stream. That would be awesome
THIS!! Rick!! THIS 👆👆👆👆
Rick went from Punk to Bach. Rock to jazz and blues to metal. Not only can play it, but teach it as well. What a guy!
Punk Bach --- it could be a thing
@@katskillz Bachintosh
How 'bout: "Punk is Bach ... and it's here to slay!"
@@davidjorgensen877 lol I love it!
Bach-tard Sons, neoclassical punk lol
Wow Rick. You guys sounded great! Great tunes as well!
Hey Rick! That was so much fun to listen to. I totally dig the energy, the sound and sheer playing energy. You could do a reunion meeting and make a video of you guys sitting together and talking about the old days. BTW I have a lot of cassettes, even some really vintage ones from late 60s and they all sound great. Sometimes there's some residue on the deck head, but I can usually fix that too
I can't believe this exists, it's absolutely amazing! I also am impressed this exists on a physical tape, that's an unappreciated feat in and of itself
Also, I must add that this is A THOUSAND TIMES BETTER than any of the songs Rick has listened to on his Spotify top 10 vids!
My FARTS sound better!
Production no, but actually as songs oh for sure
@@SeanSMST Yeah the songs are GREAT! \m/
no it isnt
@@swanswanswanswanswanswanswan Paid Spotify troll!
Just seeing the joy on your face listening to the tape made my day. Good tunes. great vid!
I’m 18 and have played drums and guitar for various bands since I was 14. I can wholeheartedly say that my father is my inspiration as he played drums for a alt rock/ metal band in college and taught me drums from an early age. I’ll never forget how sad it was when he tried to show me his old bands tape recordings and the tape got torn up and destroyed the only recordings had. I’m very glad you got to experience this throwback!
It now resides in his memory forever
Go for it my man. My only advice as an old punk is to go in hard. Play loud, and let your inner animal drive you.
A lot of the early USA punk bands were a bit lame. In the UK we were much more aggressive and weird. Do that.
So awesome to hear that old punk band! This year I am finally publishing my music rescued from cassette tapes from the 1980's and 1990's. My husband insisted when he finally heard some of my music. Amazing how those old tapes held up. I laughed when Rick pulled out the box of cassette tapes! I imagine there are quite a few of us that held on to our tapes.
The world needs this and a “Why is this a great song” episode with something that is NOT on the Billboard lists.
Nobody does videos like this guy. They are always enjoyable and informative. I mean, really informative.
Oh wow! This is a real treat Rick. Great stuff. I'm still looking for a practice tape from several jam sessions of me and drummer. I just used to let the tape record for how long it lasted. I do remember yelling the vocals off mic...and how long I would ride the same three chords foreveeeeeer....lol There were bars for days. Now you've inspired me to find those tapes and get them converted.
Simply brilliant, raw, honest and true with no pretensions.
I am sure John Peel would have had them on his BBC program of the time...... From a Brit of the same era.
Keep it up Rick .... always!
That tape was genuinely really good! You had me bobbing my head at those riffs. "Sweet Little Lady" is insanely catchy. Was that you singing the backing vocals in the chorus?
I would cringe my head off if I came across something I made in my teen years, but I'm glad you're proud enough to share it, and I'm glad you did.
The way your face changed at the "Rickie is a creep" lyric made my day 😂
It's crazy how Rick just pops the tape in and remembers everything about the first song.
I think he's listening back to the digital copy he just made, so he's heard it at least once already, while it was transferring (which we saw him start).
Remember, this guy can figure out songs he's never heard on first 1/2 listen!
@@DougsBeers Yep, while transfering the tape you have to man the cassette player, if things start getting squirrely you have to abort mission quickly I'd imagine.
This made me smile. Congrats on finding this great memory
