Rick Beato interviews David Gilmour

[nooneknows]

It’s okay to like someone without defending them against people that do not. Miscellaneous YouTube personalities are nothing to hold sacrosanct.

I don't think Beato needs any defendent, what I mean is most of the criticisms I read seem to me a bit out of scope, I don't see any other quality interviews at the same level at the moment, they seem motivated from the dislike of the character and not by the content

Interviews OK, but his constant ranting about how modern music all sucks and "back in my day/ye good olde times" talk about how music was better when drum VSTs, autotune and quantizing weren't a thing is annoying.

I liked him for a while, but the more I watched his vids the less they made sense. It's ok if you like him, but check out the two vids I linked and read back about my comments on his interviewing style. But again, if you disagree that's fine.

There are lots of spectacular interviews on youtube, you just have to search for them and be open to watching people you aren't familiar with. Beato tends to rehash many of the older interviews, which esp with someone like David Gilmour, who has already been covered many times over in interviews and documentaries, is tiring to watch.

His Original Sin is Shinedown. Everything else icing on the cake. He’s a less talented Bonamassa. He reminds me of Jay Leno…
