I think you explained David's greatness really well. It's his choice of notes & clean technic that makes him great. We all love an Eddie Van Halen solo, but when people say someone is the greatest guitarist I don't think there is such a person. Eric Clapton does what fits with his music & fitting the solo to music is the most important thing. Eddie doing one of his blistering hammering solos over this song would be like A Dragonforce drum beat over a church gospel song.

One of the greatest guitarista of all time.David gilmour can hold his notes as long as he wants.

Who played to opening and closing music?

So you can put effects on your guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and synthesisers, plus your mixes and masters but not your voice? Sounds like ill conceived puritanical snobbery to me!

The problem is that people who listen to crappy music just don't care how bad it is. Our political system is in just as bad of shape.

When I have to pull over my car because I'm blown away by Mothers Finest Live and U2 Joshua Tree . Can hardly catch my breath.

Oddly enough I am also 75, about 5 weeks older than Vicky. I remember the instrumental version. I love Vicky's delivery, very enjoyable.

Vicky Leandros sang this at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1967. Five years later she won the contest with the song Après Toi. If I remember right she sang songs in French, Greek, German and English.

Very interesting video. I think a critical attitude to musical expression is severely necessary. I support the project. I subscribed. I love listening to music but I can't claim any proficiency of knowledge. I suppose that makes me a tourist. I only have a banjo, a real one. that I like to take in the bush and play to the loons and bears. I'm not sure they appreciate it. I love listening to classical music, especially early period choral pieces, but I also like jazz and folk/country/blues styles. Rock and roll is close to becoming a non entity for me after decades of wondering to myself if I really belong in that arena. Sharing the mass attraction solely for its popularity seems dishonest to me.

I instantly remembered that song the moment I saw the title. It was hugely popular. Got lots of play on AM radio because there wasn’t much happening on the FM band at that time. Blast from the past!

"popular" music has always been crapped on by previous generations. What is "quality" is 100% subjective. I am an old fart but I LOVE EDM and related genres. I love mechanical music at my heart. The first time I heard new wave back in the late 70s I fell in love with the drum machine. Critics at the time hated it. It's a generational thing. There can be no objectivity. I almost completely disagree with your definition of "quality". I remember hating live performances back in the day. Every band sounded like crap compared to the studio recordings. Production levels have changed. Things have gotten easier to do. Pop music is for the kids ... kids are going to like what they want to, not what people tell them to.

great bumper music ! The human voice huh? Now you have me on the edge of my seat. The only musical instrument God created.

You can hear the difference… at least those who by chance could experience both.

Hey old fart. I am also an old fart. I agree with a lot that you say. I also love music. I watch Rick and Adam too. I also have my opinions on what is good or not. What is quality and what is not. What is artificial and what is not. Man , I had to subscribe so I could watch how deep a hole you dug for yourself on this very subjective matter. As a fellow channel operator, I appreciate you leaving the bad comments up. You can take it. Some people just need to say bad things instead of just thinking them. The ups and downs of comments.

Love what you have to say. I concur completely. Do you want music from a bot or algorithm or a computer? I want mine from a living, breathing soul with warmth and spirit. Perhaps what I dislike about AutoTune is the dishonesty in its deployment.

What is quality music? Whatever I like, not what someone tells me!

There shouldn't even be a debate. The best music ever written and produced was from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980's. You see kids, this is what real music sounds like, made by talented musicians actually playing their instruments and writing lyrics that have an emotional and spiritual connection to their audience. No BS, just straight-up, solid, HIGH-QUALITY music as it should be. You're welcome.

The issue is postmodernism. It's brought us such stunning pieces such as Cage's 4'33" and beautiful lush portraits of paint thrown on canvas.

Gnarls Barkley's amazing work isn't music according to this "Intelligent Donkey". This critique reminds me of how the critics said John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" wasn't music and Coltrane just shrugged it off with a chuckle and continued to craft the musical future.

The very thin ice of musical snobbery. This conversation has been had thousands of times. Are you going to ad anything new? (Or of value)

“BACK IN MY DAY…YOU WHIPPERSNAPPERS” 😂 {old man shakes fist at cloud}

The 9th symphony was a gift not just to humanity but for the entire Universe from a man who only ever heard it in his mind never with his ears, its both sad and incredible when you think about it

Old men shouting at clouds....

Boy this video went downhill FAST! You're tackling a philosophical argument with a bottomless pit. Art is valued by the observer audience. Science is valued as having a reality. If the jet engine fails you die . . . if you don't like Beethoven nothing will happen to you. The beauty and purpose of art is that it is not quantitative, it's function is sociocultural ritual and that is the anthropological evaluation based on 50,000 years of human music cultural records, artifacts, research, and actual real world application. Sorry, you're going down the old crabby guy rabbit hole . . .

Brilliant and articulate. In addition to Rick Beato and Adam Reader, I highly recommend Ted Gioia. Beato has interviewed Gioia a couple of times. The four of you are very much on the same page.

I love all the LILIAC music, but i still would like to see the addition pf a rhythm guitar, and possibly see Melody on Bass , but it seems that Melody has little intrest in playing bass in the band any longer, sad!

Alright, since you said you don't care for country you encourage you to Check out Sturgill Simpson's most recent live concert at outside lands. If you like metal and hard rock you'll love it. It's not that garbage pop country junk. Also check out Billy Strings, Tyler Childers, Colter Wall, Red Clay Strays, Turnpike Troubadours, Town Mountain, Sierra Ferrel, Charley Crockett and Whitey Morgan. Those are just some of my favorite new country/ Americana artists. Just give it try, you might be surprised.

She is just amazing

As you said,it was formerly only John Lennons song. But it now called a Beatles song. The last one so John Lennon standi g out more would be inappropriate.

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 Great Job

Sir (knight by ore king) Joost van den Broek

Great song, great reaction, great Queen Floor. I might suggest one even better cover from Floor singing Lara Fabians hit ADAGIO. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYu1eX-Cgpt0i5Y I just say this is my favoutite cover.....

🎶🎶👍🇳🇱👍🎤🎶🎶💕👏👏

❤Hearts stage manager reacted to this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmnFfKura7J9jdUsi=WVYnstkwgsfO5DJV And rumors say that Anne heard her sing this song in 2007 and was blown away ( in an radio interview). She did cover this song with her band After Forever on their US tour.

???? 95% selfies here, sorry....

This song was written and recorded by i-Ten in 1983, and in 1987 Heart covered it. On the piano you hear Joost van den Broek, he is a musician (you can see him playing a dozen keyboards during the Ayreon liveshows) and producer (for instance Epica).

AI music is another Pandora's box, and it will open wide in very short time.

I couldn't care less about your shallow opinions on music after hearing the introduction.

I spent more time watching you fiddling with the video and changing screens than watching the actual video. Thanks, but keep still and just enjoy it. :)

A real musician must interface with the sounds she or he makes and mudulate them for create purpose?

You have established the quality roles of musicians, composers, and vocalists, what then do think the proper role of the producer, promoter, publicist or intellectual property manager is in real music. They neither play nor manipulate the sounds?

Quality music? Every genre has performers and composers who do it better than others. Over half the operas of Mozart, Rossini and Verdi are almost completely forgettable. If fans like the music, it lives. If they don't, it withers. It's always been difficult for people to be entertained by anyone half their age. I stopped listening to the radio over 30 years ago. There was nothing there for me. Rarely turn on the television. Same reason. When programming is done for mass appeal, it rarely appeals to anyone over age 40.

I disagree that "Quality music is not forgotten by time". In act, time may have never even discovered some of the quality music when it was new. I was born in 1963 and had older sisters that collected 45 RPM singles of everything on the radio in the 60's. Pop, Rock, Beach, Motown, etc. I listened to these (both sides) during the "disco years". My other sister had the "K-tel" compilation LP's and my brother had heavier & Southern Rock on 8-track tapes before I started my own collections. There was great music coming out constantly. Albums averaged about 10 songs, with maybe 4 designated as singles for radio play & maybe 2 fillers. That still left 4 songs that were the overlooked gems. I don't like disco so I listened to some new wave as I discovered more hard rock & blues. I wasn't impressed with alternative & grunge & the Classic rock stations burnt out the hit songs & wouldn't play new music from the classic rock bands so I quit listening to the radio. I am open to new music & in fact love to discover something new that I like but it is like finding a needle in a haystack. The internet has given me the chance to find releases from my favorite bands that I wasn't aware of and I go back looking for those under-rated gems and that Quality music that has been forgotten by time. I like Adam Reader's videos also but he focuses too much on the chart positions of songs while many of my favorites never made it very high or were never even on a chart.

🤗🍒🤘🏻😘 well done

Love maestro muti.

The official video for this song comes out tomorrow

Tuomas YOU ARE GREAT!!!

Thanks for sharing your reaction to a song that gets better & better with each listen, which is something that defines greatness in songwriting. The lyrics are on point with mankind's stupidity, greed & selfishness.

I like this... good job Nightwish.

A new way to go for Nightwish, with the children choir, having as much singing time as Floor almost i belive, Floor is doing some fast phrasing here to, something like she does in the song Shoemaker, kind off. The Ill starred kids of your junkyard thats us yhe humans, People today are getting told all kind of doomsday things, s this song says, the end is fear, its not near, armagedon aint coming tommrow, so life your life, but some are seeking the doom porn still, I didnt read the book 1984 written by George Orwell, but the song got reference to that book i belive. At first listen i needed another listen, at 3th listen the song got me, and i started like the children choir, i actually think its a pretty good song, and something not heard like this from NW before, now i listened to the song maybe 30 times! This is not a Empuu shine song, there is heavy guitar rhytm in the middle section and end, but not the big Empuu solo, but i also think this song dosent need it, because the Children choir takes spotlight instead,.. The title the day off.. is missing telling what its the day off, so i think this is where you can put in the optimistic view of the song, as a listener, if you like to, and hear the song that way, the listener decide what its the day off.. BTW: a official music video should be released 13.08.2024.
