![[4K] BABYMONSTER(베이비몬스터) “FOREVER” Band LIVE Concert “영원히” 베몬만을 사랑하게 되…💗 [it’s KPOP LIVE 잇츠라이브]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TQfC0xdpiw4/mqdefault.jpg)
I keep telling my friends this is one of the best albums ever made AND NO ONE BELIEVES ME. This album and band were slept on. This album blew me away.
At the Drive-In was anything but "slept on".
I don't listen to almost any music like this and was very aware of them in high school at the turn of the millenium.
I remember when I was a teenager, this album appeared. It was so refreshing and bizarre ! Still good now.
It truly is one of the greatest.
Came out when I was in high school. Anyone who knew anything about music knew about this band. They had been making good music years prior to this.
The second I hear "We must've read a thousand faces!" I can't stop til the album is done. It's a bummer its so hard to find on vinyl.
Damn rick needs to get on some more post hardcore classics never clicked so fast. This is way too pure.
d wolfy ditto. 😂
I wish he would do some jimmy eat world or Thursday songs
Would love to see an episode on The Blood Brothers.
I wouldn't complain if Fugazi, Unwound, NoMeansNo, The Jesus Lizard, Drive Like Jehu etc etc cropped up. And going back a bit further, Minutemen and Husker Du would be very nice.
JakubScibor YES!!!!
Cedric could sing a kitchen recipe and make it feel like it was the most important thing in the world.
shopping lists too!
and omar would put some super arrangement never heard before
Well said!
I thought it was a kitchen recipe, no?
Lemons
Apples
Can of soups
CUT AWAY, CUT AWAY
Deodorant
Milk
Hamburger buns
CUT AWAY, CUT AWAY
This is the definition of playing raw, recording raw, but producing with a cool head. This is music in its pure state but well captured. I love it
I swear half of what makes these videos so addictive is just how much Rick appreciates the art. His joy is palpable.
big fan of joy myself
Absolutely
Indeed.
Bantu Rhino definitely didn't expect to see you here lol
Agreed 100% true love of music
Nothing makes me happier than Rick Beato air drums.
Justin Cider you read my mind. something about it just made me feel happy.
Justin Cider Man I just commented about his air drums 🤣 agreed
Da da da da dun uhh.. Da da da da dun unnghh.. Dun chugu jug jug chu chu..
sad life
Relationship of Command is a god-damned masterpiece. I wish he just did Arcarsenal lol.
Me too.
favorite album
Yes! Arcarsenal is brilliant! Please!
BEWAAAAAARRREEEEE!!!!!!
Arcarsenal is so brutal, love it to the last second when the scream becomes a guttural sound.
First time I heard One Armed Scissor it blew my mind. Hearing you dissect it and take it apart has also blown my mind. And filled my heart with a load of glee. Rick: you absolute diamond geezer.
Hehe load
I bought tickets to the Astoria gig immediately after seeing them on Later with Joolz Holland.
Robbie Williams was leaning on a piano asking for his mate's chair back.
He was completely dumb-struck. It was hilarious. I saw Rocket From The Crypt & Trail of Dead the night after. Absolutely bananas. TOD threw everything at the crowd, literally.
I think there was only the mic stand left. I almost caught a Firebird.
Same!
Do some The Mars Volta please!
Pleiadian Advocate that video would be over an hour long xD
@@willowsparks4576 that sounds amazing ;)
I wanna see him analyse Goliath :3
Any Volta at all would be amazing!
Yeaaahhhh!!!!!
The fact that this song exists is such a miracle. It's broken from the beginning to the end. What a piece of art. Great mastering and mixing, too!
"It's total chaos but, it's right in there. Works really well." - Every Omar guitar line, ever...
that's not even the chaotic part. that's just some arpeggios with open strings and a flanger effect. the real chaotic part, imo, is the variation that follows the octave guitar under the "Unknown origin, Is this the comfort of being afraid" (etc) vocals.
Arpeggios with open strings and a flanger effects sounds chaotic though. Both parts are truly chaotic elements and they’re great
Im glad people still remember at the drive-in
They better!
Those out of tune guitars would have driven me mad if it was my own band but it just goes to show that it’s a lesson to us all not to get too delicate with the recording process. Feel will always outwin perfection. It’s pretty brave of them to have done it this way. 👍🏼
Michael Pumo ....yes, it's takes real confidence.
Only checked it out quickly, but it seemed like a lot of the ‘detune’ is coming from the quite heavy chorus/vibe fx. So counter intuitive isn’t it... but damn does it work!
What about that producer?! Pretty laid-back, just letting it flow! ‘Capturing the ghost’ as opposed to ‘huh… hey guys, your guitars are not in tune…’ If it’s supposed to sound wild maybe you shouldn’t tame it…
It was on purpose though.
GeckoPixel I don’t doubt it! 👍🏼
I love rick's videos so much because even though he knows very complex music theory and jazz he appreciates rock and roll, and he wont try to analyze rock music in a classical way because he knows what makes each genre great. Always remember your roots
Very accurate comment 👍👍👍👍
@@111.5.b thanks buddy
Thank you.
nobody talks about Jim. He is so underappreciated. He plays such a big part for ATDI. In a way, he helps to ground them. Without Jim it's a little to all over the place. Mars Volta is great. Like Sparta even more. But ATDI is really the best assembly of cast of the 3.
I feel Omar is akin to Carlos Santana and Jim is akin to Lindsay Buckingham. Both are UNDENIABLE talents…Omar always looked to push boundaries of rock and Jim was more about the songwriting. It is the perfect example of opposites colliding with a beautiful result.
I also love Jim's vocals.... so much power and energy, Wiretap Scars is also a great album
My friends and I always called ATDI *"Fugazi with afros".* Amazing fucking band! I saw them live on their Vaya tour and was blown away.
HAHHAHHAH not a bad comparison.
I've heard Jim mention before that they absolutely loved fugazi. And that relationship of command was made purely on ecstasy, the drug
Fugazi with afros--'😂
Omg man that’s just it
I'd love to see some Mars Volta looked at, if possible. Great video!
@paula take the veil
@fetfet1210 yeah, take the veil would be great!
maybe l'via
@paula it'll end up being Cassandra Gemini XD
It would be very very veryyyy difficult to do a complex song we would like to have.
This album ruled and still rules. I would play this non-stop when it was released and still go back to it every now and then. It's still astonishing.
This is one of those records you remember the first time you listened and how it changed you.
Can confirm.
This tracks
We always talk about bands that changed your world the first time you saw them play live. ATDI and AVAIL are probably the top 2 on my list.
Hell yeah! One of my favorite bands. Amazing song too 🤘
Amen!!!
Ikr? I wish he'd do something off Vaya
It's a song that I did like when it first came out, but sort of overlooked it. However, I've recently fell in love with the song, 20 years later.
Love both your channels!
Hi there, I've been a HUGE fan of your channel, LITERALLY since you started. But I feel compelled to give you a small bit of constructive criticism about your latest videos: ever since you started playing guitar, you seem to often try to work in some time talking about the level of difficulty the song or album your talking about is to play, which, all due respect; I feel detracts from your content. An example: Amputechture. TMV is my favorite rock band of ALL time & I have a special sentimental attachment of sorts to that record. So needless to say I had the biggest music nerd boner going into your video about it, I enjoyed sections of it, but I really felt the 2 or so minutes you spend talking about & attempting to play Vicarious Atonement derailed any momentum the essay had has prevented me from ever wanting to re-watch the vid... & I believe the reason is: for both musicians AND non-musicians alike, You need a Rick Beato level of knowledge & insight into theory &/or years, if not decades of experience in said field to point out something neither type of fan has noticed or thought about before. Something truly new
I love what you do, you inspire me, PLEASE keep making content and music!
Would love to see anything from Refused - Shape of Punk to Come
i remember seeing them in AJZ Bielefeld, Germany. me and my guys were just stunned. we left the gig knowing that this was legendary material
Yes Rick, you have to!!! Please!!
Love all of your channel. Thanks for the music.
This needs to happen. Refused Are Fucking Dead, New Noise or Deadly Rhythm
I love that album! Ground breaking and had a huge influence on the state of the scene that is still heard today
@@Sailor1010they don’t call it the shape of punk to come for nothin
There's an inaccuracy about the chorus vocalists. The "Cut away!" parts are sung by Jim Ward. Cedric sings the rest.
Came here to say this. His voice is unmistakable.
Jim Ward is such a great singer and musician, his band Sparta is so amazing and underrated
@@hectormonasterios1417 His solo stuff shows his range, too!
Héctor Monasterios Jim ward is garbage
@@hectormonasterios1417 Sparta's new album "Trust the River" (2020) is incredible!
There is a scream in Cosmonaut that is one of the purest and most honest I’ve ever heard. Love it.
Toni Ahola everytime i listen to the album i gotta hear cosmonaut just for that scream
Charlie Thomas Haha. Me too!
Catacombs has an epic scream too.
Invalid Litter Dept. is epic too
Cosmonaut is the best song on the album and ATDI's masterpiece
Thank you for digging into the post-hardcore, post-emo scene. There’s so much more creativity like this to explore in the 90s scene.
Do Fugazi next!
I think I know why I love these videos. They remind me of when I was a teenager sitting in my bedroom with my buddies listening to records and talking about music, except that now one of us actually knows what he's talking about.
"Relationship of Command" slays me to this day. Undeniable rock masterpiece.
Damn it Rick, you've surpassed my expectations. At the Drive-In getting your analysis. Thank you. Relationship of Command is one of my top ten albums. Enfilade is exceptional, the drumming on that track is amazing.
It's funny that you highlighted the mixing by Andy Wallace. Omar hated the final mix of the album as he thought it didn't sound raw like ATDI, and accused Wallace of over mixing and over polishing the band's sound.
I've had friends hear this album who said it's just chaos and loud noise. I keep telling them to listen to each track by tuning in on one instrument, then again with another. When you then listen as a whole each track is amazing and you appreciate the craftmanship behind it.
In college jazz class we learned to listen for the instrumentation first; that’s why Tom Morello’s imprint of ‘Guitars’ on their records was when digitech whammy and technology took over.
I'm absolutely delighted that you've done an At the Drive-In track. I absolutely love that album, it's an absolute classic for me. Would love to see you do more modern alternative rock or metal stuff like this.
Like Jimmy Eat World?
Hi Brother Rick, this song is a great example of non - computerized Rock and Roll! When you listen to it, it sounds so real, no crystal clear perfection, no Pro Tools or Pitch-Perfect correction, but it sounds great, because it's the sound of a band making music together, and interacting with each other. It's the true essence of what Rock is supposed to be about. Thanks for putting this together, it's a great example of what you(and all of us) have been trying to get people to understand. Perfection isn't the answer. It's about what is coming from your heart and soul! You are really making a difference! Lary
exactly!!!!
@Andre, Oh Yeah... Lary
I loved this video, it also shows how when ATDI splitted, they distilled both parts of the formula on Sparta and The Mars Volta, TMV got all the psychedelic and spatial angst sound while Sparta got the punk intensity and thrust.
I remember the first time I heard this song in high school around 2000 and being blown away how different yet brilliant it was. It’s aggressive and attacking but plaintive, and discordant and distorted but melodic all wrapped up in weird proggy time changes and all of it feels like it shouldn’t work and yet it all come together in a brilliant package
I just love everything Cedric and Omar do. You should dissect Roulette Dares by TMV if you can.
I second the fuck out of this.
Third.
Jesus can you imagine it? That or Drunkship!!
Inertiatic, Cicatriz, Televators, This Apparatus... so many good songs
MrGuitarJeroen 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Fckin great episode, i love that you blend production with mixing aspects while talking about these songs
Favorite part of this vid is how you give love to the drums and bass-they make ATDI groove like no other punk band.
My hope is that you listened to the next track on the album (Sleepwalk Capsules). Paul plays a phenomenal syncopated bass line during the chorus that’s similar in vibe to what he plays during the bridge of this song.
Well that explains Mars volta's prog rock sound... Cedric and Omar wanted to do more with at the drive in, and hence Mars volta.... and I love how you analyze every facet of the band members playing. I instantly fell in love with this channel.
What makes Rick Beato great :) Somebody should make a video about you Rick The Man
As a fan of Mars Volta it was nice to learn about At The Drive-In.
Hope to see a WMTSG on Porcupine Tree
Please a WMTSG on Porcupine Tree
Iain Bryden yeaaah and Steven Wilson also!
Yep yep yep, Anesthetize would be outrageous.
@@lucaschacon8362 great to hear Luminol - whenever I get new audio gear I listen to that track 😁
Since this song came out I had been married twice to two different women and both of them hated this song with a passion. So awesome that you added it to your series. I've loved this song since the minute I first heard that intro from a comp CD we got at the station I worked at back then.
Lol. You need to start playing this on every first date, and run if they don't like it.
I love that with your depth of musical knowledge, education and jazz understanding, that you always find the gems in all kinds of music, and you haven't forgotten how to just dig a great song!!
I have been going back to a lot of 90's/00's music recently and hearing cool things like this that didn't stand out back then.
Thanks for what you do!!
Hey Rick, great contrast from your How Computers Ruined Rock Music video.
Honestly, this is not my favorite genre, but I love the way you highlight the flow of energy between the musicians... it’s what I love most about music.
So refreshing.
You’re a one-of-kind, Rick. We are so fortunate to have access to your insights and knowledge... thank you.
Amen. Amen. 🙂 love Rick
I also loved this video, despite not loving the song. Rick compares the track at the end to Nirvana in terms of energy, and I also hear Pixies influences in the guitar parts and meter changes (naturally, given Cobain's influences). The reason Nirvana and the Pixies sell crap tons of records to this day is, of course, those catchy damn vocal melodies.
Whenever I hear that song, I just can't help but yell "CUT AWAAAAAY, CUT AWAAAAAAAY"! I'm sure my neighbours are thrilled.
The most beautifully orchestrated piece of chaos ever produced.
The intro itself gave me goosebumps, haven't heard this one in a while! Listening every dissected part truly makes you appreciate even more what At the Drive did back then, thank you so much for this
Really enjoying the range of material broken down here. I appreciate you, Rick.
OMG! I'm really surprised to see At the Drive In for this segment of a Beato video. My wife got me into those guys before this album came out. They had a HUGE underground following and she turned me onto them. Mars Volta was great as well but a much different beast. *I forgot to mention that SPARTA was a really cool off shoot from At the Drive In.
big fan of your wife
I'm just so happy that both ATD and TMV exist, and bless your wife!
Moses Garner true that. i personally don't like mars volta. it makes me feel annoyed. I've listened to plenty of it, i don't think its bad, but it just doesn't jive with me.
@@anthonybernero9720 I understand,man. Mars Volta wasn't a sound for everyone. I dug them but my musical taste included a lot of weird off the wall stuff before their 1st album came out so it appealed to me. You used a good word there..."Annoyed" I can totally see some listeners being very annoyed by their vibe/sound. That makes total sense.
@@increase9896 I am too lol I'll tell her she has a fan.
I’ve been listening to this song for over 20 years and never noticed before this video all the details, guitar tracks, tuning... AMAZING! Thank you Rick, I love your channel
Yes! The anthem to my college freshman year! Thanks, Rick. I always love the raw-yet-polished feel of "One Armed Scissor" (and also other At the Drive-In's songs) and you dissect it very beautifully here.
Can we please get some Dillinger next?!
Hahaha, I would love to hear 43% Burnt. It'd just be a lot of shrugging and saying I have no idea what the fuck is going on here.
@@gregmoore3345 I'd love love any DEP broken down. You could pick from any album and I'd be stoked.
Do some d4 and some naked raygun and I would be a very happy person
MONA LISA, or ONE OF US IS THE KILLER
@@babylonastronaut This comment was about Dillinger Escape Plan, but I would also be down with Dillinger Four.
as always, jim ward goes underappreciated
Always such a shame. Looking at the full collections, I preferred Sparta's over Mars Volta. That being said though, Deloused is one of my favorite albums of all time, Volta had the higher high I guess but Sparta never put out anything bad.
@@timvotta1111Deloused is their only good record, to me. Wiretap Scars trumps their entire catalog. Just saying.
He was definitely an important part of atdi.
Gotta say ATDI is way better than everything they did separately combined
I agree. Always liked Sparta more than Mars Volta when they split. These guys all make great music though.
One of my all time favourite albums, thank you for doing this one.. So great to hear the individual tracks as the playing is so not normal on lots of Omars parts.
I remember when this came out i just started playing bass in 2000 and between this song and helmet, weezer, i was learning them just trying to learn how to play the bass and figure out stuff...
It's funny how certain songs will bring back forgotten memories
Didn’t even watch yet.m, but I’m so excited to see At the drive in. Please do a Mars Volta song Please!
What a video! What a song!!
This made me feel the same way I felt back then when the song was released. I had no idea that the song was recorded live, but it makes total sense, given its brutal and visceral drive. Amaaazing band!!!
Much appreciated Rick! This album totally surprised me in the early 2000's. So glad this made an impression on you and your ability to break it down and teach us about At the Drive In. Great video!!!
sitting here on my chair, it's almost 2 pm, went down into the rabbit hole that is this series. man what a ride. the sheer joy. so many memories of concerts and doing music with my pals. wew. thank you rick. this is bliss
Buddy Rick, on air drums, gotta love it !! Great post my man .
You completely left out all Jim Wards vocals. HALF THE YELLING IS JIM.
Rick, you're an inspiration. We need more Rick's in this world, keep on doing this, my faith in music is coming back. We need you!
I love the fact that Rick is fascinated by different musical genres (as the true music lover that he is).
Experiencing the joy that shines through his videos is truly beautiful, especially when he's air drumming to the tune! :)
Wonderful episode, Rick. Thank you so much for the immense work, man!
AWESOME! I love ATDI. This album came out my first year at university and it changed me how I think about music. It's raw and real.
I would also love to see an episode of WMTSG about Change (In The House of Flies) by Deftones.
big fan
Yes! That would be awesome!
IMHO Digital Bath, Knife Party or Passenger would be better picks off that album
Passenger even
Anything from White Pony would be great
Such an amazing song. This video is eye-opening! Thank you for this! The world appreciates you!
Relationship of Command is one of the greatest albums ever made. God caught sight of a passionate five-piece hardcore band that hadn't quite reached their potential with
In/Casino/Out, looked at his five-fingered hand, and touched fingertips to foreheads, birthing this divinely-inspired masterpiece.
A whole lot of Cedric's songs end up in triple meters. I always assumed that was down to the huge Latin jazz influence
"this is just all vibe" the best
I can't believe I haven't seen this video until now!!!! I love both this series AND the band! Great content. Always a pleasure watching these vids!
Thank you for opening my 56yr old mind to songs I would have never checked out! I see many people wanting Rick to check out so many other songs but it’s his thing, if he likes it he’ll do it. Just keep them coming!!!
I see a respected musician/engineer talk about At the drive in/the Mars volta, I immediately subscribe
For intensity I don't think you can get more than Cosmonaut off the album. Just an absolute banger, fearsome and inspiring. If only they'd been able to keep the wheels on their bandwagon
Badass track for sure
I loved you take on On Armed Scissor. That song got me into this band and have listened to them regularly since. Had the pleasure to see them live as well. Great job breaking it down. Love your work.
So refreshing to hear bleeds and timing, tuning "issues", this is how music is!!! its not perfect or meant to be perfect. I get it that some music needs total perfection but this is awesome
this is my favorite beato video, just because its one of my favorite songs ever (since 8th grade in 2002ish). thank you for doing this one!! seriously a masterpiece.
At the Drive-in along with The Mars Volta (Cedric and Omar are geniuses) are two of my favorite bands. Didn't know you had this one in your locker, Rick. Excellent choice!
I've been searching and searching and searching for this song for years. So glad to finally find it again.
Great job Rick. Energy is captured when a band records together on the floor. Love how raw this is.
Don't really know why, but the second verse reminds me of Bloc Party's Silent Alarm album (released 5 years after this)
Rick, I'd really love to see one of these in depth analysis of Mars Volta mixes! They're such weird mixes!!!
Thanks for taking a look at this track! The whole album is amazing, an absolute masterpiece of early 00s post-hardcore. I'm not sure theres a single bad track on there, but this and Pattern Against User are definite highlights.
Thank you! I was blown away when i saw this on MTV, back when they used to play music videos
Our sense of “in-tune” is largely shaped by western equal temperament, which is a compromise system. Exploring the in between space between semi-tones is really the last unexplored space in harmony and melody. I am enjoying the blending of non-western tuning concepts into so called popular styles. Thanks for your fun breakdowns of these songs.
Sooo who else went and listened to Relationship of Command straight after watching this?
I did not, but thanks for the idea!
it's such a powerful record.
Sam J a masterpiece
Late to the video, but yes. Immediately.
Yes. I did. Arc, Pattern, Quarantined, and Rolodex are great songs.
Just amazing. I have loved this song for years, and the way you broke this piece down has elevatedvit in my ears. Thank you professor.
My heart! I just found your channel & you could be my soulmate in another life! Love this! You're so inciteful & have a great ear. Love to hear these favorite songs deconstructed this way.
I highly recommend reading pitchfork's review on this album.
it was written by the chief editor and it's fucking embarrassing, absolutely hilarious
I ordered this cd. Can't wait to hear more of these guys.
One of my favorite albums of all time. Your analysis really helped me appreciate it on a different level and in a new way.
You could do the whole album....this is one one of my favorites from that era! Great work as always...keep it up Rick!
Glassjaw .. you MUST do Glassjaw ^^
1 2 Siberian Kiss seems obvious.
@1 2 I'd say do a more prominent song in their catalogue and quite the unique one. Tip Your Bartender.
@1 2 Haha. Yeah
1000000000% agree!!!
@@DeanThomson if anything id think he would do ape Dos mil, definitely one of their most accessible and well known songs, their most experimental stuff is definitely on OCG and Coloring Book
I loved this episode. One of my favorites. I now want you to do one on Fugazi.
Loved this song as a kid. I remember watching it the video on MTV and it blew me away🤩I loved the “CUT AWAY CUT AWAY” part. Also a big fan of Mars Volta.
The drums and bass isolated sounds so cool. Just rolling along
Loved this. One of the bands that doesn’t get enough love.
Rick, every time your new video comes up I feel you chose a song from my collection of favorites.
Thanks Rick. Your videos are educational and fun. More Pearl Jam please. Thanks.
Great video! Love ATDI. Incredible album and this song is an absolute masterpiece! Chaotic, melodic and just damn right rocking!! Hit me when I first heard it and it hits the same all these years later! Work of art!
He was spot on about the effect of hearing it for the first time. Part of the soundtrack of my high school years! I'm not a music person like him, so the way he broke it down was like hearing a foreign language, lol. However I love listening to someone describe music like he does.
Amazing vid, thanks! What a great learning resource, your interpretation makes me excited!
You never know what you're going to get with this series but you know it's going to be good!
The thing you keep mentioning about how raw and imperfect this song is, is why I like so many underground punk and indie bands that are basically bedroom recording everything. Just straight passion and love for the music. It's messy and the production sounds like it's from 10 years ago, but it gives it so much charm that nothing on any major label gives. The Brave Little Abacus captures this feeling so well.
