Van Free Riot - "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Metal Health Now"

[@thudor1]

R.I.P., Randy Rhoads, Kevin DuBrow, Frankie Banali and Eddie Van Halen.

[@kevinsiegel]

And Frankie Banalli, QR''s drummer.

Frankie Banali as well.

Yesterday marked 40 years since Randy died. 😢❤

[@ap24101988]

And Paul Kossoff

[@thudor1]

@@richpeltier9519, that's right. It was a senseless tragedy. Andrew Aycock shouldn't have been flying after driving the tour bus all night. Cocaine was found in his system during the autopsy.

[@Jazz-nm1kf]

Im really tempted to sprinkle these in to a classic rock playlist and just casually listen around my parents and see if I can slowly convince them that theyve gone insane.

That right there - so beautiful! 3:51

How bout a round of applause for Bill McClintock for a change!👏👏👏

[@jasonjordan356]

It's alright to have metal health issues while not talking about love.

[@Japjongetje]

I tip my hat to you, sir.

[@CreativeWarrior-]

Mashgasm!

[@screwyootube1]

... for "now". 😉

[@blueblade455]

Well ok then!

[@Japjongetje]

@William Kane ?

[@deantodd8103]

This one ranks with the Ratt/Marvin Gaye and Slayer/Edwin Starr creations. Just sheer perfection.

[@MrJeezus]

Metallica/Huey Lewis too

[@TheShoemakerb1]

I second that!

[@robertoricci3393]

The Temptations/Black Sabbath mash up is the coolest

[@iHawke]

something magical about these 80s bands

[@Mak10z]

Yea, I think this is the definitive version of both songs now :)

[@raylee1595]

Free, Quiet Riot, Randy Rhoads, and Van Halen are greats in the rock world, but Bill McClintock is a god of mashup music. Superb!

[@papisatanico4380]

I love how you can always find a way to get Randy Rhodes in the mix

[@1wickedgroove]

Randy Rules!!

[@benedictdonald4338]

The world is better off for it.

Cuz he’s the G.O.A.T.!!!

I had no idea my ears could get blueballs until I kept not getting the expected "BANG YOUR HEAD"

[@stevetait7322]

Some band has to play this live. It would be awesome!

[@WileECoyoder]

3:52 "Ain't talking 'bout love!" "LOVE?!" 😂

[@blueblade455]

Famous bands and musicians come to get Bill's approval first before starting a Super Rock Group.

[@billtomson5791]

The metal backup adds such a whole new dimension to the song.

[@mrx1333]

If you never heard of any of these songs, you'd think that this is the original song! That's how perfect this mashup is! McClintock is the best at this and always look forward to his work....I meant masterpieces!

[@shadowbanded]

That should be on heavy rotation on all classic rock stations. We could do that with all music and we could listen to three times the amount of music

[@williamgaines9784]

The last minute was the best minute. If not for the videos being at different venues the audios sounded like all 3 bands were on the very same stage. #Genius

[@simonbone]

Just what I was about to say. This one is great - kudos for the Randy Rhoads cameo in a Quiet Riot song - but the last minute is phenomenal.

[@hotwired100]

This one was a slow-burn that built into a crescendo of awesomeness in the last minute. It literally gave me the tinglies.

[@braydenhulst4118]

2 years later and it’s still one of the best

[@francinemk43]

The word "masterpiece" for a McClintock mashup... yet again... truly does not explain how AMAZING these are. The only mashup channel I subscribe to, and the only one where I drop everything when the notification pops up! Mr. Bill you have ENHANCED MY LIFE (!!) with your incredible mashups!!! Thank you! 😍

[@screwyootube1]

^ ^ ^ ^ What she said!

[@GohAhweh]

Ima be rockin this in my car!!

[@iutchube]

Same here

[@mrx1333]

I just wish that McClintock had his work on Spotify or Pandora! But I understand about music rights.

[@mikeyengland6363]

McClintock is a legend and genius of our time!

[@kyliepollert8341]

I never realized how similar "Bang Your Head" and "All Right Now" sounded in the choruses of both songs. Great job, Bill!

[@AllenJohn]

I am going take all these mashups and fool the generation coming next saying "this was the music of my time"

[@xwrestling]

And you won't be lying 😃

This takes me back to the Freehalen Riots of 1983.

[@drlarrymitchell]

I dig this cat- he actually produces music in the way my mind tends to molest it.

[@connlajones5222]

Wow, that had me grinning from ear to ear for 5 minutes, in some alternative reality. All the vocalists weaving in and out at the end is genius and the guest lead guitar breaks are awesome. Probably the best one yet as far as detail. Although my faves are Van Halen/Stevie Wonder, Van Halen/Jackson Five, Ratt/Marvin Gaye, Motor Head/James Brown and the Ozzy/Tammy Terrel/Four Tops/Marvin Gaye. Bill is a genius. Thanks yet again for entertainment, a great new song and food for thought on music and music theory.

[@andreasheine9607]

Yes! All Soul Metal songs are simply fantastic.

[@widdershins5383]

So if you you’re smiling in an alternate dimension, that implies that you are not grinning in this one. 🧐 what the heresy?

[@andreasheine9607]

@@widdershins5383 No, I totally dig this one. Still grinnin'! But Bill made my musical horizon wider by making Soul Music interesting for me. Bill got me into the Temptations, Four Tops and many more. Just being very thankful for that.

It's always a little bittersweet seeing Randy. How fast he was developing and him leaving us so young. Could've been another Mozart :(

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

I feel you there. He was 25 and already light years ahead of so many others. He still influences me 40 years later.

[@YouDummy]

You're not seeing Randy

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

@@YouDummy Carlos Cavazo is shown with Quiet Riot at the Us Festival. But there is a small shot of Randy playing part of his lick from Crazy Train.

[@falconater68]

Pardon my blindness but I only see Carlos...

[@praketingrichraft6181]

I love Randy's guitar playing, but Mozart, despite only living 9 years longer than Randy, composed over 800 works of every genre including operas, concertos, and over 40 symphonies, so...no.

Wow, Kossoff, Eddie and Randy in the same video. Three of the greatest guitarists of all time united by the magic of McClintock.

[@safetysteve1314]

I kinda picture Bill McKintock kinda like the the guy from the wizard of Oz. You don’t see him, but what he does let you see you’re just in complete amusement and tapping your foot and rocking your head knowing you couldn’t have thought of these mash-ups and once you’ve listened, you just want more until you do something foolish. No golden ticket for me… but awesome entertainment… thanks Bill!!

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

As always the mix and visuals are top notch. The hardest part has to be the video mashup

[@kenlieck7756]

Are you kidding? With all the decision-making and subtleties in the audio mixing I bet he could cobble the video together in his sleep!

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

I am listening to this while my teenager is in the background playing “blackened“ on his guitar… My brain is overloading🤯🤯🤯

[@BrooklynZBoyz]

There are at least a dozen artists inducted that I would replace in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Bill McClintock. You rock our worlds brother keep em comin

[@leonaltro]

This one is good for 3 minutes and 21 seconds. Then it becomes a masterpiece. If this was the final song of an actual concert I think I would have passed out before the end.

[@sho942000]

This combination is right up there with other legendary parings. Fish and water, strawberries and chocolate, Florida and beaches, etc. You've done it again McClintock! You've raised the incrediably high bar you set with your previous mashups. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face

[@pjost6643]

This really is a perfect mashup.. Funny because a few years ago I remember thinking about all right now seeming to fit perfectly with metal health, but to put VH on top is just wow….even a little bit of And the cradle will rock 🤣

[@rapid13]

That was amazing. Just amazing. _Completely_ changed feeling of _Alright Now_ with the Asus2 to C/A progression. Wicked.

[@joystaelens6150]

Thanks for that. What a great combo

[@ALVIEDZANE]

These bands individually may be struggling in retirement. Low on money, energy, and testosterone. But Bill McClintock shows them the way to join forces in some kind of Regular Show singularity of awesome that will have them performing their own-and each other’s stuff, supporting friends, and making all of them some much needed dough. Well done Bill, another prophecy that we await to be fulfilled on stage!

[@LinusFeynstein]

One other good thing about all these mash-ups, especially by Mcclintock, but also Andy Rehfeldt and his improvisations, is this: i discover or rediscover real gems and jewels of music history.
