[@mrp3889]

This singer is brilliant... screams his lungs out and soon as the song is over... just looks as if nothing ever happened.

[@5000rgb]

He does a good job of covering the other singers' styles.

[@timpope3413]

I concur

[@ChaseBlasingame]

Man’s singing Alice In Chains and AC/DC like their songs were written for him.

[@quasij]

He doesnt rip off the original yet he sounds so good!

[@markblanch4178]

He's singing 10 seconds at a time at a very controlled output. Singing entire songs with long, connected phrases, chorus', verses are actually where the challenge is

[@paradisel0st13]

ok this dude can sing everything.

[@strivingx67]

Dude has some pipes for sure!!

[@frendo_3684]

@Philip Betts uk song writer and performer ok?

[@TheGravyMonster]

Reminds me of Stevie Winwood

[@_jajajaja_]

Annoying AF IMO

[@stefanbraem]

Yeah, and with ease apparently...

[@ruslankbr5243]

I would give #2 to Queen too with We are the champions, both of their anthems are the most famous

[@PedroAscensao-mz3wn]

No dout. I´ve the same opinion. It´s like 2 in ONE Long live to "The Queen"

[@sync924]

id put 1 as seven nation army, surprised I haven't seen anyone mention it yet

[@duanetapp1280]

Also Bohemian Rhapsody, the video of fans singing it at Green Day concert gave me goosebumps.

[@GoudLoodje]

I honestly thought that was gonna be number one but I don't blame Rick for putting We Will Rock You on number one instead

[@covidflinstone3710]

You would also put round and round by RATT on this list

[@spencercampbell1873]

This guy has some incredible range. Almost no breaks on the high notes. That takes talent!

[@petset77]

Very good cover band singer.

[@RhettShull]

We should start a band.

[@RickBeato]

We did haha!

[@marcaopenas7329]

i always think it

[@mrnobody2873]

Really, how many times have you seen him outside his studio? Like 2-3 clips sitting in a lawn chair?

[@crichardson3903]

We all need to take a moment and acknowledge the awesome talent of Jason's. Wow. Also I really appreciate the fact that they went to the trouble of playing all of these songs themselves.

[@theverseshed]

One of the most enjoyable of all Rick's "Top 20" themes - really cheered me up and made my evening. Great to see Rick and friends enjoying themselves together. 10/10

[@mattskeahan4736]

Agreed--I may like this approach better than snippets from the actual artists

[@bymattreynolds]

Serious props to Jason Tillery for his outstanding range.

[@Thadmotor1044]

great Dobie Grey imitation

[@Thadmotor1044]

I loved their version of Man in the Box !

[@rso1411]

Wow, really, really good.

[@etiennecfourie777]

Yeah Jason is great!!

[@Petu1987]

Where's his channel or IG tho??? Great voice

[@whiplashfatigue1430]

Wow, I was thinking, “it’s nice Steve Gutenberg found a second career.”

[@Studio.15]

he's a goofball and i love it

[@JustMrsHugo]

He is SO great!! What’s his name???

[@shelleybirenbaum7466]

Good choices for rock anthems. I would suggest a few more for the list: Dancing in the Dark or Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen Summer of 69, Bryan Adams Carry On, CSNY

[@DrPupenfahrten]

Baba O’riley was the first song I thought of. To me, it defines what a rock anthem is. Simple, bombastic, and youthful. Maybe it’s the big dramatic crashing cymbals, the piano pounding out the opening chords, or the way the intro builds into the iconic verses. It’s hard to put it in words, but it’s just got that undeniable anthemic quality to it.

[@breakingthelaw7974]

Well it sure is a great song, however, it falls in the same category as Stairway to Heaven.

[@DrPupenfahrten]

@@breakingthelaw7974 frankly I’m not a huge fan of Baba O’riley. The piano is overly-basic and repetitive, and the closing solo on the violin was an odd choice. I get what you’re saying about the song being overplayed (maybe even cliché), but for a song to be a rock anthem it needs to have that quality of being instantly recognizable by the masses. There’s more to than that even. I wouldn’t consider Starway to be anthemic. It’s maybe the most iconic rock song ever written, but its more of a soaring musical journey than a power anthem. I can think of a dozen better and even more popular rock songs than Baba, but that doesn’t necessarily make them anthems IMO.

[@morganclare4704]

and " LOVE REIGN O'ER ME."

[@gwaptiva]

Rick: I'm making a top 20 rock anthems Queen: Hold my Greatest Hits albums

[@sirkat344]

:D :D :D Ha! Good one.

[@eskilseter]

I was 100% sure that #1 was going to be We Are The Champions

[@nathandanner4030]

@@eskilseter "We Are The Champions" might be a Ballad and not an Anthem.

[@Tetsaraku]

Well played, Sir :)

[@DennisUlijn]

Not really an anthem

[@SeanNecker]

The best part of this is just watching 4 talented buddies having fun.

[@CoreyGary]

"We Will Rock You" is clearly #1 on any rock anthems list. But, you could tell due to the simplicity of the song they were nonchalant about playing it.

[@rufashaochicken]

Sean Necker I think it’s 5, don’t forget the drummer

[@matheussousa6438]

Great list! I would add Another Brick in the Wall, Bohemian Rhapsody, Freebird, Fear of the dark...

[@laurabotello4946]

Right! I missed "Another brick in the wall" too!!

[@jameshicks7125]

Another Brick in the Wall should've pushed the Tom Petty song out. I was surprised Bohemian Rhapsody didn't make the list...

[@bjw0515]

I knew you could not leave off "We Will Rock You". Queen- my all time favorite! Thank you!

[@ButternutDonut]

This singer is incredibly versatile, very talented.

[@ldorval28]

I was about to say exactly that !

[@chrisalmond4334]

This band is epic 😎 the singer is mint every song is on point whats his name

[@opupfg]

and flat

[@balakay406]

@@dank1j he didn't ask but ok

[@gregoryvlchek269]

Technically, the singer is talented and has good range, BUT the overall tone and sound of his voice is annoyingly unappealing. I almost stopped watching/listening. It turned me off that badly!

[@BG-ni4pd]

Sh*t, this singer is f***ing awesome, his voice's so powerful and unique

[@jimferry4751]

Nailed the Pearl Jam song, sounds just like Eddie

[@steveoglesby4120]

...and he hung in there through these sessions. The guys can play as long as they have energy. The voice has limited ability and endurance by comparison. The fact that he did a good version of Perry and Mercury just lends credibility to Beato"s work.

[@ericcrenshaw9081]

Okay... not hating or judging but I felt like these songs deserved a better singer. I wasn't going to say anything until I saw these comments. He is good in his own right so dont think im bashing or anything because i know this was just a list and he couldn't exactly pull an A list singer. I know for sure the video could have been better with someone else.

[@schafn]

I thought so too. Being able to jump into the middle of a song and pretty much nail it isn't easy. Singing these songs requires putting at least a little emotion into your voice and I was impressed with how he could turn it on and off at will.

[@poncho428]

Auto tuned wedding singer nothing more. Would have rather heard nails down a chalk board

[@cahawkins1]

Oh wow. NEVER stop doing these videos!! Makes me smile everywhere! I am 70 and these all make me feel young again!!!

[@bohoobah9518]

seeing a 70 yo using that pfp made my day! 😆

[@nmcreative956]

Glad to see Bon Jovi finally get some credit. Livin on a Prayer is still played at sports games all over the world. A true anthem

[@user-mx5ey4xj9r]

finally get some credit, are you silly??, Bon Jovi is one of the most overrated bands ever

[@loganm15]

Too bad their song is used for the sake of the sport not the sake of the song itself

[@yasininn76]

@user-mx5ey4xj9r quite literally one of the most popular bands of their time, still are widely known and for a reason. But obviously we'll take user-mx5ey4xj9r's opinion on it

[@davidroberts150]

Blaze of Glory was their best one - splendid tune!

[@ba2n5dits]

Nope. Bon Jovi is not overrated. You obviously haven't heard all their songs and deep cuts. Truly talented. After seeing the docu-series, he worked his ass off to where he and the band is.

[@diegorvila]

We are the Champions is THE DEFINITION of an anthem. How could it possibly not be there?

[@burnsZY85]

I know, when he started to talk about the no.1 i thought straight away of that song especially when he said about it being played at sporting events but nope he picked the wrong one.

[@petisebestyen88]

I fuckin hate it, it's too overplayed

[@cezarcaruntu]

@@petisebestyen88 Wild guess, but I think that's because it's anthemic.

[@unmenv2897]

@@petisebestyen88 That doesn't make it any less of a rock anthem

[@junebunchanumbers]

Possibly because it's a difficult song to sing.

[@EzraJFoust]

Not only does ACDC "You Shook Me All Night Long" have a supremely singable chorus, it also has one oc the greatest lines in rock......"she told me to come but I was already there"..........pure rock and roll.

[@markperry9427]

Had to be Queen, and they also have another, We Are the Champions. Some others I would mention are: Judas Priest - Take On All the World Thin Lizzy - Boys Are Back in Town Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water Status Quo , - Caroline. Great video, and your man there has a great voice 👍👍

She stands out as a cool rocker but also a down to Earth person who, when introduced, took her sunglasses off and looked me in the eye as she shook my hand.

Now that’s a rock anthem that doesn’t even need instruments!! Queen was in a class all to themselves. Unmatched

[@vivianvielma4003]

Where have you been all my life. Smiled through this whole video. Thank you.

Anthem- Europe The Final Countdown Survivor-Eye of theTiger

[@p_1210]

dewdew34 totally agree. They should have been 1 & 2 followed by Boston more than a feeling!

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

If he would have picked either of those 2 cheesefests, I would have unsubscribed.

[@p_1210]

OMGWTFLOL doesn’t matter if you like ‘em bro by definition they’re rock anthems! He put the cheesefest living on a prayer on it. The list is garbage...free fallin, sweet home Alabama 🤣 not even close to rock anthems, not even rock!

Eye of the tiger 100000000%

life is life too

[@DeuceDeuceBravo]

I get that Gn'R aren't friendly to this stuff, but Paradise City is the definition of "rock anthem". It absolutely deserves mentioning at least.

[@jimmym3352]

Definitely more than Sweet Child oh Mine which I'm appalled they even mentioned. I'm so sick of that song being overplayed. And I actually don't like that opening riff. Paradise City is a much better song and I felt it was the best song on the album when it was first released (before they even became famous).

[@uzi978]

Ditto.

[@Doormanswift]

I say we just bury GnR in the back yard and never mention them again.

[@Valkyier911]

Yes...absolutely

[@burnsZY85]

Without a doubt, it is the definition of a rock anthem.

[@azzan66]

Nailed it! I was sitting here the whole time going "the original rock anthems We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions" which kinda are a single song on the album one right after the other. Good job Rick!

[@sbt3x]

My 11 year old granddaughter asked for and received both drums and an acustic guitar for Christmas, she wants to play music when she grows up, her dad is a drummer, so hes teaching her but I am sharing this video with her to show her that she can do anything she puts her mind to!!

[@americanparser]

Whoever he is, that guy is one hell of a singer to do all of those particular songs.

[@betsyhiggins4198]

What a trip down memory lane. I'm a 66-year-old female. I'm smiling ear to ear. Thank you, Rick.

[@eveanneeskie1346]

Me too❤

[@drifterman319]

Carry On Wayward Son IS the definition of rock anthem. Living on a prayer makes it. Not carry on wayward son. I'd switch them out. Carry On once eclipsed stairway to heaven as the most played classic rock song ever.

[@terriashby1285]

I’m also 66. Aren’t we lucky we had such fun tunes?

[@KripLyter]

Cant fault this list - AT ALL - So glad I stumbled onto this channel ... I am so happy right now

[@eddieblaze]

Great to see those amazing instruments being used. Great singing. And kudos to all for learning all those songs and looking like you’re having a blast. Great stuff, Rick…as always.

[@thesquigglespin]

It's a great list, but I have some honorable mentions of my own. "All the young dudes-Mott the Hoople, The boys are back in town-Thin Lizzy, We are the champions-Queen, Bring your daughter to the slaughter-Iron Maiden, Rock you like a hurricane-Scorpions". Much love, Rick.

[@arthurias7693]

The Boys Are Back in Town and Jailbreak are two of the greatest anthems. Every time they come on in the radio I can't help but sing along.

[@thesquigglespin]

@@arthurias7693 Jailbreak!!! I missed that one. Good call.

[@roadrunner7218]

[@3du76]

“We Are The Champions", "Hey Jude", "Living After Midnight", "Carry On My Wayward Son", "I still haven't found what i'm looking for", "Crazy Nights", "Rock and Roll Radio", "Smells like teen spirit", "Born to Be my Baby", "Al you need is love"...

[@wootwoot5032]

Hey Jude and We Are The Champions should be Top 2

[@achiappanza]

"Hey Jude" is the one I thought was the inexcusable absence. Everybody sings along with that because you don't need to know any words.

[@skepticalfaith5201]

That looks a lot more like my list than Ricks does

[@edwardjamyangmacarchick1847]

Al You Need is Love?

[@thomaskeffer3626]

Hey Jude, We Are the Champions, I agree. Is Good Vibrations a Rock Anthem or something else?

[@kelliparker7300]

Why do I not know this vocalist? He is incredible! You all are, truly, I love the accuracy to the original sound. That voice though 😍

[@TDB73]

INXS doing Never tear us apart is a great stadium song used by Port Adelaide Football club in Australia. Gives you chills when the whole crowd sings it.

[@sebitz85]

“More than a feeling“ should also be in the list imho.

[@kospandx]

I was surprised that is wasn't included, given Rick's love for Boston. Too hard to sing for it to be included, perhaps?

[@joseargueles2139]

We will rock you #1 and We are the Champions??????

[@johnkendall6558]

or longtime, maybe both lol - they are both in my top ten driving around burning one songs

[@bhansen620]

Was thinking the same thing - should really have been in the Top 5.

[@Zatzzo]

just listened to "pour some sugar on me" for the first time and i think your performance sounds ten times better!

[@yaantsudnbesdai972]

Very good list. As long as you have Queen's "We Will Rock You" at one, you could have easily put Queen's "We Are The Champions of the World" at one or at the very least in the top 5.

[@LandonAPerson]

We Are the Champions is too hard for many people to sing, unlike we will rock you which only has a few notes in its melody.

[@chris_d_r_u_m_s]

Hey here's a fun idea: What if the four of you and Jack Jones put together a rick beato channel house band to record covers and originals!?

[@darrelstevens9707]

Rick's House.

[@Paul_Sleeping]

@@darrelstevens9707 Yes! That was immediately what came to my mind. I loved every minute of Live from Daryl's House so if Rick can come up with a way of doing live cover without running afoul of KZbin and the musicians of the song then that will be awesome. The "what makes this song great" where they do a live cover at the end of the segment.

[@andrewpappas9311]

That’d be awesome actually
