Rick Beato Finally Claimed FAIR USE on a Video and was REJECTED! (Rant)

---

Who?

In a video about great power trios, Rick Beato mentioned the band called "Failure" and that their single "Stuck On You" had garnered them some success. Until Beato said that, I had never heard of this band. This is a screenshot from the video below:

With a little research, I found the tune on YouTube:

And, of course, the video in which Rick Beato mentioned them.

Leash on a Freak

I'll admit that I was not a huge Korn fan when they first released their music. I have never gone out of my way to listen to Korn so when I saw that Rick Beato was going to talk about a Korn tune, I was initially hesitant. While I learn a lot when I listen to Rick Beato about music, mainly because I've never taken a piano or guitar lesson, I don't really consider Korn's music to be overly complex.


There's something interesting about the name of this tune, which is called "Freak on a Leash." I wonder if the tune ever had a temporary name and, if it did, was it called "Leash on a Freak"? I know that within the lyrics, Jonathan Davis sings the true title of the tune ("Freak on a Leash") but that doesn't mean the title of the tune couldn't be the reverse of the lyrics. In this instance, the real title puts the emphasis on the word "freak" whereas if it was called "Leash on a Freak," the emphasis would be on the word "leash" which likely means that they wanted the focus to be on the word "freak," which goes along with the way that Korn presented their image.

That said, I like the information in this video.

I wish I knew more about music.

Sure, I consider myself aware of a lot of the foundations of music. I know there's something called "chords" and "key changes" and "time signatures" and "rhythm" and "melody", but I've never studied music seriously.

Maybe that's why Rick Beato is an inspiration to me. I have embedded other videos by him throughout this blog and my presumption is always that he knows what he's talking about when he talks about music. His comments about The Jonas Brothers in the video below strike me as being spot-on.

Perhaps the best impact on this specific video is the comments the video received, three of which are shown below:

How to Listen to Music

Rick Beato hit a grand slam with his video "How to Listen to Music" below. He analyzed the McCoy Tyner tune called Passion Dance, which I had never heard before. Listen to it first, paying attention to the piano solo.

---

---

Did you hear that insane piano solo?!? Below is the transcription:

---

---

And then there's Elvin Jones. I know he is considered to be a legendary jazz drummer. That said, I've never really gone out of my way to listen to him or to study his style. That's on me.

---

---

I think of the above videos as being research so that I can enjoy Rick Beato's analysis even more.

---

---

What a brave jazz combo to cover this tune!
