Rick Beato Video: "How Corruption and Greed Led to the Downfall of Rock Music"

this is pretty interesting how he explains how things worked in the 90's and how much money some of these "Producer Managers" got (and how among other things, how the drums on many records were recorded).

Also the downfall (death? or transition to underground?) of Rock Music in the mainstream, and Radio happened.

Might have to watch that later! I've seen it said many times that rock music over-all has slowly drifted away from the mainstream since the 90s, so I'll be interested in seeing what he's got to say about that.

Also, I've never really watched a Rick Beato video before, though I've seen him pop up in my YouTube recommendations a few times. I've always read his last name as "Beat-Oh" but I'm sure it's some three-syllabic pronunciation like "Bee-Ah-Toe", right? "Beat-Oh" is much funnier and relevant to music, so that's been how I say it in my mind.  (And then I sing it to the tune of "BINGO (was his name-o)".

Didn't watch this one when it dropped, but there is a follow up about why rock musicians became faceless in the 2000s that I watched last night that was good too.

Good stuff

Haven't watched, but youtube suggested one of his videos to me last week, which I did watch, about trends in music.  Thought it was really interesting.  Apparantly guitar based music and rock are on a rise.  Also songs are getting shorter.  I'll check out this video, just can't at the moment.

I don't know how much on the rise, but just from listening to the "hits" station in the car with my daughter on the way to her school, you hear somewhat more guitar/rock/country type stuff mixed in with the electronic dance, R&B, and hip hop stuff.

I think I watched it shortly after he posted it, and I thought it was both interesting and of course sad to see the way things have devolved. Actually it works hand in hand with a book I read several years ago called "Ticket Masters" which goes into detail about how Ticket Blaster rose in power. In general the music industry is in a sad state of affairs.
