It's finally happening! I was luck enough to interview the legend that is Rick Beato recently. We had an incredible 2 hour chat and I absolutely loved every minute of it. I will be releasing next week and I'll set it as premiere so we can watch along together and take part in the live chat. Today, I wanted to show you a little excerpt where Rick dissects my Justin Hawkins Rides Again theme tune. I got Beato'd. Keep an eye out for the full length interview next week, I'd really love you all to watch it if you have time.

Great video. I will watch the cast
Huzzah for long-form content - it's great to hear people really dig into their passions!
In a world dripping with rubbish, You two are what’s good about social media. Thanks.
Well put and very true.
Agreed
Well said , this short video has put a smile on my face
Good rubbish
With pat finnerty crashing into frame
When you watch Rick interview famous musicians there is always this transition from tension to relaxation on the part of the "star"
Its instantly apparent that Rick Beato is a formally trained musician/songwriter/teacher. A lot of people we look up to aren't formally trained. It was refreshing to see Justin be so casual about it. Watch the Sting and Billy Corgan interviews and you'll see both men on guard (Literally arms crossed and defensive)for the first bit and by the middle they realize Rick isn't beating them up as he is a true fan of their special genius. Then the floodgates open and he gets the best interviews you've ever seen. So yeah I can see here that there won't be a uncomfortable beginning interview section because Justin is so comfortable in his own skin.
Thanks for posting this. I nixed the Sting interview after 5 minutes because I thought Sting was too uptight and reticent. I'll have to watch the whole interview. I loved Rick's interview with Billy Corgan. Check out his interview with Thomas Newman. That was the most fascinating from a musical & creative standpoint.
@@carlmarks8170 it's probably the best Sting interview ever because Sting is *usually* uptight, but as the conversation with Rick progresses, he becomes more and more relaxed, it's almost fascinating to watch.
True. Rick has mentioned before he is a huge fan of Sting. But he respects all musicians he interviews. His music knowledge is through the roof lol.
Well, Rick can't really write music. Or at least he hasn't written anything noteworthy.
@@carlmarks8170 I almost bailed on the Sting interview too. Sting definitely loosens up once he realizes Rick is all about the music and not looking for a "gotcha"
I love the theme song... and I love how Beato explains the complexities of what is going on in the music... and the artist is like, "I had no idea I was doing that!"
Pretty sure Seal had the same reaction in conversation with Beato. He was unaware he was breaking normal rules in 'kiss from a rose' as he didn't know what the 'rules' were!
What a great interaction between Justin and Rick. They are both very "gentlemanly" guys, and they truly seem to genuinely hit it off.
Rick is erudite without being arrogant. He truly is the blue collar people’s music educator.
Worked with a band in the early 2000's that had worked with him. I unfortunately did not get to, but the music he helped with was the best on the record. Really missed out not getting to meet him.
If you see "blue collar" looking into a studio with a good $1M in gear...then I'm afraid you might be interpreting the phrase too literally. Wearing a denim button down doesn't make you "blue collar"!😂
(Ironically, Rick wears whatever he likes because he is self employed.)
And being rich doesn't necessarily make you a greedy monster. 🤷♂️
@@lueysixty-six7300 Fair point. To clarify what I meant by ‘blue collar’… he speaks common people music language, not snobbish conservatory language, and communicates directly and plainly to listeners, rather than speaking down to students from an ‘ivory tower’ vantage, like so many music snobs do. That’s all.
@@ambientideas1 Yeah, you want Finnerty if you want blue collar. Pat Finnerty.
Wasn’t Justin on wmtss ages ago?
Rick is the best. People just learning music don’t realize how blessed they are to have people like Rick to learn from literally just in your pocket
He's a snob and an eletist. His opinion on music and production will only pit unnecessary limits on your creativity
@@MisterFatherSir310 His opinions are his own. He actually has took the limit OFF of my creativity. He has introduced his audience to countless artists, spanning every genre. The guy is a bottomless pit of musical knowledge; and he is doing us a favor by sharing that knowledge with us.
But yeah hes a tottallllll snob; eletist, cabal, illuminati.
God damn the internet is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would not recommend Beato for anyone just learning music, or anyone halfway through their journey for that matter.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 there is a good amount of people that watch his channel that dont even play any instruments at all.
So much solipsism in TH-cam comments these days. Kinda rude but then again it is born out of arrogance. "Nobody knows, nobody understands, nobody realizes."
They do.
I'd love for Beato to break down my music, but I'd also be kinda horrified at the same time.
Same 😂
I’ve been listening to Rick for years. He is an awesome musician, engineer, producer etc. 👏
Have you ever actually learnt anything from him which you were able to implement in practice?
@@whatilearnttoday5295 A fair amount, though you have to apply yourself, cos the information's there but it's too easy to leave it for now. lol
What we've all been waiting for but didn't know we needed!! Rick and Justin having a chat about our favorite theme song!
It was an honour.
That's rad. I'm tuning in when it drops : ) Molly.
but why though :p
We need a Punk Rock MBA/Justin Hawkins collab
Can’t wait!!! I’m really looking forward to it! Two of my favorite UTUBE people chatting together! What in this world could be better!?!?!!!
Two of my favourite TH-cam channels ever collaborating!
I love Rick and his dissections of music!
I love Justin and everything he does! It’s a win win!
Check out Carl Baldassarre. He's another guy with a great knowledge of music theory and has great enthusiasm when dissecting and explaining.
Even when Rick sings the line first time with no backing, he's perfectly at the right pitch. He really breathes music.
Justin's theme song IS cool, and I love how Rick just "knew" what he was playing! Brilliant! Both of them!
The beauty of the theme is it's live and always improvised.
The look on your face as you listened to Rick dissecting your theme tune is the exact same look I get watching you break down songs every single day! It’s brilliant seeing you express the same joy and wonder that you so often inspire in me! Love this collaboration! Can’t wait to see the full thing! 😁🥰💖
Personally I think writing and singing your own theme tune and putting your own name in the lyrics is a stroke of bold genius.
Isn’t it just? So obvious and simple.
Dennis Waterman, is that you?
I genuinely catch myself humming ‘JUUUUSSSTin Hawkins Riiiiides Aaaagaiiiiiin’ in my head regularly throughout the week
I believe Justin used to write jingles for advertising agencies, pre The Darkness.
Thousands of people singing your song back to you - awesome!
Rick Beato lovingly busting into your theme tune - life affirming gratification.
I love how star struck you seemed to be while talking to Rick. Especially when he complimented your theme song. And I love how gracious Rick is when he's answering your questions about the cords (something that goes completely over my head).
Chords are what you play on the guitar…cords are what you pull your curtains open with…..sorry after midnight appears to be when my spelling pedant appears….😬
Was gonna pick him up on the spelling …but didn’t wanna sound like you did lol😅
@@dalegallacher7074 in late from work after a really difficult day…all my own fault…so behaving like a dickhead….I did say sorry ! 🤣😉
Rick is a great mind and great guy. Had the opportunity to work with him. Being a vocalist he really challenged me and the band to step it up and explore more. His knowledge really shined through on our track DOWN BELOW band KRAMUS from Indiana. Shameless plug.
Well the shameless plug worked because I listened to it and it’s great. Nice one, as JH would say!
Dear Forrest- I'm in agreement with Philip J. I'm going to check you out too. Oh the Wonders of the Shameless Plug From 🇬🇧 All the best for 2023.
I whole heartedly love a shameless plug. If you arnt in, you can't win
You should edit your comment so that the band name is Krampus. I just gave your song a listen, and although not being my usual type of music, I thought it was an awesome piece of music.
Shameless plug = success. ✌️🇦🇺
Your plug is working lol. Not bad, at all! Good kickass rock n roll 🤘🏻
Rick is a master at his craft and so hugely respected. Real sage.
And he's a great guitar player.
@Keith Ferris "Quick lesson" proceeds to shred for 40 seconds. "Like that."
Nah, but CJ aside, I really do like and respect Rick. What a cool life journey.
Your intro is what hooks music lovers who don't know your videos. Your soothing voice, your passion you share through your words and your general style are keeping us here.
Yeah man. He has that Freddy Mercury quality for sure :)
There will be nothing more to watch on TH-cam after this interview. Sitting and watching these two greats, "geek out"; kicks 2023 off nicely. ❤This!
I would love to see a chat between yourself and Dan, talking about each others experiences leading up to and being part of the Darkness and how you managed to avoid the battling siblings in a band troupe or if indeed there is some bitter under lying resentments that can be captured in a live chat environment 😆
Yes. Dan is awesome. Talk about Stone Gods. Great band!
Rick's a joy. Protect him at all costs.
From what?
@@DaveTaste ISIS?
@@DaveTaste TH-cam of course
Love it…looking forward to the full interview!
Man, I fucking love a positive comments section. 🙌🤘
I love this because it confirms a suspicion of mine that artists don't always know quite what it is they're doing. I'm an author (under a different name) and I read reviews or analyses of my books and think, "Huh, did not realize I was doing that." I especially love when someone credits me with being inspired by an author who, invariably, I've never heard of.
That's really cool! What kinds of books do you write?
Definitely. Especially in the Rock world. It's like Rick always says, "they may not know what they are doing, but I do". For many it's just been a long time of learning by listening. Personally I don't believe there is any "magic" in song writing. It's just a skill like any other. I mean...it's still amazing when you hear someone write something and realize you would never write like that and wonder how they came up with it, but ultimately that's just a product of their influences and how they improvise around those influences.
To me it's like a sliding scale where you have technique on one end and song writing/arranging at the other. People who spend the majority of their time practicing licks and scales and speed and chops etc...are going to be more to the technique side and people who spend all their time listening to their favorite artists, copying the styles and arrangements and then improvising over what they learn, become the amazing writers.
It's what made a guy like Eddie Van Halen so special. He had buckets of skill, but also understood all the writing and arranging side of it too.
I think they know what they’re doing in that they are creating sounds that they have in their head. They might not know the formal name of the chord they are using, but practice has always preceded the theory.
@@doublestrokeroll Just because you understand and enjoy the technical side of things does not mean that you can't write a great song. This is the bs argument that ppl like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani have no soul or heart in their music- when the reality is their music is dripping with it. Steve is one of, if not the most, expressive guitarists to ever play- he can put more feeling and emotion into one note than most guys can squeeze into a full solo. Bands like Polyphia put out amazing music all the time- it doesn't get much more technically oriented than that stuff. I would argue "stylized' and "technical" are basically the same thing- which means guys like Guthrie Govan are extremely technical when you think about it. Mike Dawes is very technical. They're just utilizing new techniques they came up with. Hell, even pure pentatonic blues is a technique- if you want to be strict about the definition. So really, I don't even get this argument, it makes no sense. Everyone, including you- uses technique.
@@stoneysdead689 For sure. I totally agree. But ultimately "soul" and "heart" are 100% subjective no matter how much people like to think they can objectively "hear" it.
For example I think there is more "soul" and "heart" in your average Chemical Brothers song than anything I've ever heard from Joe Bonamassa. That guy is as boring to me as any music I've ever heard. I get nothing emotional from it whatsoever. Having said that, I would never argue that his fans are wrong for getting emotion from him.
And sorry, but I really don't like Guthrie Govan's music. Again...I don't get anything from it. I appreciate the talent. Guy is amazing and I wish I had a pinkie's worth of his chops....lol...but musically he just doesn't do it for me.
Having said all that, there are, again in my opinion, many examples of great technical players, who songs are not written or arranged very well and really kind of just serve as a vehicle for their technique. A perfectly valid thing to do, but not something I'm very interested in. And I would argue by the fairly limited appeal said artists "technical" music tends to have amongst the greater population, a lot of people feel that way. Again...I'm not saying "better". There is no better in music. But the ability to write catchy melodic music that has very clever arrangements is a thing. It's a skill, and not everyone is great at it.
I'm so excited to see the two of you in a long convo! Thank you so much!
Excellent. Lookin' forward to the whole interview.
Keep an eye out for the premiere during the week! In the mean time I'm doing some cool interactive stuff with my patrons this week, you can check out what we're up to here: www.patreon.com/jushawk (my private livestream podcast is tomorrow at 9pm GMT as per usual)
Not going to lie. You, Pat etc seem like the more 'grounded' not schmuck type of people on TH-cam. Beato seems to be the person in the 80s to promise gold mountains and uses words like " industry ". But hey, I'm a very judgemental person. It is cool to see him appreciate you and have an in depth talk about theory
Hooray for cool interactive patron stuff ❤️
I have found myself singing this out loud many times , it really is quite infectious. Glad I am not the only person. Thanks Justin 🎸
Thank you so much for this video! I can't wait to change my guitar strings as I retuned it after so long without playing it (trying to get your theme tune) and the first string burst💥🤦♀️. Thank you also for making me return to a hobby that I have always loved.😘
I can't wait to see the full interview with Rick Beato too, the part you have posted left us wanting to see more!!!🤩🤩🤩
You must interview Louis Cole.
It’s interesting and entertaining to watch this. I enjoyed music from The Darkness as a band. But getting a glimpse of Justin as a person is something I wouldn’t have gotten growing up because there just wasn’t a platform for it. Really cool.
OMG I cannot wait for the full interview. Thank you for continuing all the work you do on this channel.
Soooooooo looking forward to the whole interview.. so fun!
I haven't been this excited about watching something in a LONG time, so thank you for that! Honest, watching you two beam at each other had me smiling like a loony to the point of a solitary tear! In truth, I've been here from the theme tune"s inception, and the first thing I said to my partner was, "I really hope Justin gets a Beato interview one day."
WELL YOU'VE ONLY BALLY WELL GONE AND DONE IT!
Thanks again, squire. Truly.
I've loved Rick's channel for ages. Can't wait for the interview.
I find Rick completely and utterly absorbing to watch, the interview should be really interesting. Thank you Justin! 😁 ♥️
So looking forward to the two hours of this, such chemistry, has me smiling ear to ear. Thanks
Gotta interview Pat Finnerty next
He's busy being on hold with the IRS.
: (
@@feebypeels2883 🤣🤣🤣
Rick's mind is like a steel trap for music theory. Catches everything and nothing escapes. Can't wait for the full video.
Cool stuff.
He makes me want to learn the theory.(something I have purposefully avoided)
Truth hurts so good!
Looking forward to watching the full thing after work!
Been waiting for you two to get together. Brilliant. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
Oh, this is such a tease!!! Really looking forward to the full two hours. Thank you Justin & Rick ❤
Justin, your theme tune always reminds me of a a phrase from a medieval piece, yet when heard as chords they do indeed sound Spanish. If Rick Beato flatters you, pin it on, stick your chest out and strut about proudly! 😎🤩
That was really cool. Definitely looking forward to watching the full interview
Love and follow you both. This is SO great!! :)
Oh man ... two of my favourite people in the same video! Talking!! TO EACH OTHER!!! Looking so forward to that!! 😍🥰
I’d love to see a long format interview with your other fellow members of The Darkness. I’ve read articles with Dan and Frankie but an interview between you guys talking shop or where you’re going as a band would be fascinating. Maybe a Mr. Roger Taylor would come on the show?
Always a good time. Keep up the good work.
I absolutely loved this. I've been waiting for the two of you to talk. I will be watching next week!
Been watching both of you for a long time now oh boy what a joy
I love when Rick beato does his Spotify top 10 Countdown because you see him just pick up the guitar and play every song right from the jump without ever hearing it. I know he likes to shrug that off and say everybody should be able to do it. But he honestly is either way too modest or doesn't know his talent. Can't wait for the full interview
The algorithms collide! Been a RB subscriber for quite some time and his music knowledge is expansive, most of all he’s genial, genuine and good for the musical soul. The musical ear he has is not in everyone’s gift and he is encouraging to musicians whatever their level; listener to seasoned sessioneer.
I can't wait to see the interview! Two musicians geeking out and appreciating each other's work is smile enducing for sure 😀
Can't wait for the full thing! The both of you are such fascinating, intelligent, fun communicators about music and 2 hours is gonna be a blast!
Looking forward to it. Surely you can get Brian May in for a chat (may need to get Rufus to pull a few strings 😂).
I am thrilled about this. Two of my absolute favorite creators of any genre just having a chat...can't wait.
Two of my favorite channels converge! Brilliant!!!
Can't wait! Found your channel recently, so I'm binge-watching your stuff 😄
For me, that intro/outro initially made me laugh, seemed super random and something he made up on the spot... and now it's my favorite part of these videos. It's just brilliant, both the composition and JH's commitment to it.
Can’t wait to see the whole thing
Sounds like a real lovely talk. Look forward to it!
I was smiling all the way through that. The energy between you guys was amazing 👏
Justin! Please, for the love of Juan Martín check out Rodrigo Y Gabriella! Hanuman is probably their biggest song. You’ll love it, I promise!
@CackityCack 😳 I haven’t seen that & didn’t know it was a thing, but now I do, I NEED to see it ASAP! 😂 thanks! 🥰
What a tease. That was really cool. Looking forward to the full interview.
Really looking forward to this interview 👍👍
This made me smile. Thank you
Wow! I love watching you two. It will be awesome!
I'm really happy to see you've collaborated with Rick; he's been a YT favorite of mine for years and you're not to bad yourself lol
Brilliant, buzzing for you Justin. Can't wait for the full length video.
two of my very favorite music channels and you tubers.... cant wait!
Can't wait to hear the interview.
I love Rick's and your channel for the same reason.
It's Music Appreciation 101. Listening with intention. You guys rock.
Two of my favorite TH-camrs together 🎸🎸
Great clip 😊
Pure joy 🤩 Thank you both!
Love this, can’t wait for the full thing.
So been looking forward to this collaboration of genius. Yeah I'm all in on the interviews Justin 🎶🎸
Thank you Justin! This is brilliant 👍 Finally you and Rick together!! Made my day! Can't wait to see the full interview. Hope you all can do an episode on Rick's channel of "What makes this song great" and do an actual Darkness song.
Super excited about seeing this interview finally.
I am absolutely loving your channel! It’s great to have someone producing material of substance for a welcome change ❤
How amazing seeing together (finally!) these two great characters!!!
Love to see some long form interviews with some of your friends in the industry!
I think you're right, Creepy Clips. Start out the long form interviews w/ friends in the industry so that there's a level of comfort there, hopefully, right from the beginning.
After all this time, hearing Rick and Justin pick apart the theme, I finally realize what it reminds me of!!! The All in the Family theme song. “Gee, our old LaSalle ran greaaaaaaaat!”
🎼Mister we could use a man like Justin Hawkins rides again🎶
😂
@@OnlyUkeThatMatters Haha yes!!
For me, it reminds me of the chorus to Phantom of the Opera.
@@spritebuster685 Haha yes!!!! And of course we all know ALW lifted the main theme for Phantom from Pink Floyd’s Echoes…
Yes please Justin - terrific format. More in-depth interviews 🙌
Long form interviews would be exciting to see here Justin. Thank you!
I hear “Nothing really matters to me” from the end of Bohemian Rhapsody in your theme song.
Looks like this is going to be a lot of fun!
can't wait - Happy 2023 Justin ! Thanks for the great content ...keep those 1/2 diminished chords coming
really looking forward to watching this interview.
This is fantastic Justin. Rick is such a cool dude and I'm stoked he's getting rock star recognition from the rock stars themselves. You should get Brian and Roger plus yourselves together with Rick for a proper gig/interview here in the UK. I would definitely come.
Awesome! Beato’s knowledge of music theory is phenomenal. I’d kill to understand 10% of what he knows
Looking forward to it, what a great duo!
I am so happy you guys are going to do something together. It was the first thing I thought of when I found your channel. I absolutely love the both of you guys.
One of the things I love about both Rick and you is your generosity. You both share far more about what musicians do and how they do it than you need to do, and you make the rest of us the better for it. A few weeks ago I shared your TH-cam channel with a friend who turned me onto Rick's channel, and I expect he is going to appreciate my recommendation as much as I do his. You are both gems.
Can't wait to see the whole interview. I would love to see you interview Billy Idol. His latest music is so on point and his voice is still amazing.
Cant wait to see the entertaining and educational and eloquent and engaging exchange between you two Gentlemen next week. And long form chats like this with other musicians, youtubers is a great idea.
You and Rick are both such great dudes. Love your work
As fascinating as Rick is on all things music, what is the most impressive thing to watch is what he's done with his son Dylan. That is the most perfect pitch I have ever seen or heard. If you haven't seen him demonstrate his perfect pitch, go and watch it before you reply to this comment. Rick will play these incredibly complex chords on the piano and Dylan nails it every single time. He was immersed in complex, high information music since he was born. Literally. Like I said, the most amazing thing Rick has ever accomplished. In my opinion. He may disagree
It would be thrilling to see you interview and talk to musician friends and colleagues in future content.
Pleasant exchange between gentlemen! I'm looking forward to enjoying the entire conversation.
I love this. Can't wait for the big drop!
I AM BEYOND EXCITED FOR THIS!!!! RICK IS A MUSICAL G.O.A.T GENIUS! 🤘🤘🤘
Hey Justin! I'm saying a resounding YES to the long-form interviews. Please do. That would be interesting.
Wow can't wait for the full length!
