Bear with me: I grew up on punk, but my older cousin was my access to having fun (drinking, smoking, and partying) when we were in school. He was a nu metal/post grunge guy and him and all his friends always brought me to the Xfest concerts where I would go just to get blunts and beer and maybe be around a girl (I was like 14). One year he and his friends were hyped for Three Doors Down, so they rolled about 10 blunts and bought enough beer to go around. All I knew about the band was this song, and I kept singing it to myself, in particular the chorus going into the bridge where he goes "YeEeEaAaAhHHh". Then the band came on, everyone was at the edge of their blankets. We were 9 blunts in and I was probably the highest I've ever been, it felt surreal. When Kryptonite came on I was so fixated on the singer, each chorus waiting for the Yeah, and every time it didn't come I would get more anxious. I looked around to see if anyone else was anticipating it as much as me, but they seemed fine. They sailed through the bridge without a year. It felt like a century had passed since they started playing. Just when I thought the song would go on forever without it, he delivered. And that is my 3 Doors Down story.

Charvel makes great guitars actually. Ibanez is of course the quintessential cheap shitty metal guitar.

Beato often says the artist might not know what music theory he was employing, he just played it by ear and it sounded good. But Rick knows, and now the audience knows.

[@carvercordes]

So 3 Double D didn't know what they were doing, played it by ear and it sounded bad. Pat knows why and now so do we.

[@soakedbearrd]

@@WyattWinters yeah for sure. Even non indie music like mastodon, Opeth, Gojira (I like metal as you can see lol) came out, but none of that would be considered mainstream. I think that’s a good thing honestly, sometimes too much popularity can be a bad thing.

Not butt-rock.. butt-rock is Sammy Hagar, Foreigner... that song "Midnight Blue" from the 80's comes to mind. But I think 3 Doors Down is sort of a souther/grunge fusion which is pretty great.

[@CuppaKofe]

@@christina9841 Must be an age/era thing? I've only ever heard the term 'butt-rock' as a generic term to describe the type of early to mid 00's arena rock band with hyper masculine themes and edgy lyrics that have nothing challenging to say, mostly listened to by dudes with spiked hair, white Oakleys and Affliction T-Shirts. (Trapt, Three Days Grace, Five Finger Death Punch, etc) If it was originally used to describe hair bands in the 90's, than I guess it just means whatever type of rock music that is 'uncool' for that era.

In Beato's defense, he says again and again that the artists may not know anything about music theory but it doesn't matter because their ears know what they're doing. But this is a very funny video.

[@carvercordes]

It can apply here too. This artist may not know theory but it doesn't matter because their ears know how to make the song suck.

[@HGWeegee]

Music theory isn’t how to make music work, it is why the music works, most people aren’t thinking theory when they make music, it’s just what sounds good to them

[@FernieCanto]

@@HGWeegee "Music theory isn’t how to make music work, it is why the music works" That's an almost perfect phrase. I'd just say that theory is actually *how* the music works; because whether it "works" or not (i.e. if it's good) is an aesthetic judgement, and music theory doesn't do that.

[@erikhendrickson59]

@@HGWeegee Then you have "pop" artists like Prince and Sting who ABSOLUTELY ARE thinking about theory while they're music.

The 90's rock genre was rotten with singers who really tried to sound like Eddie Vedder but didn't understand why Vedder is great.

[@Louzahsol]

Vedder wasn’t great and sang like he’s trying to do so with a mouth full of water

[@johnnytwidd]

I feel so validated. I’ve hated this song for many years. No joke, when I was in 6th grade I had a friend who shared a room with his older brother, and whenever I would sleep over his brother would, without fail, put on a Kidz Bop cd that had this song on it. And I’ve been haunted by it ever since. I’m gonna tell everyone about your channel, you’re making some of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time!

[@charlessegale6493]

I don't think it helped that it was a Kidz Bop rendition of all things that you kept hearing. The original is bad enough as it is, but I can only imagine how much worse the Kidz Bop version of it had to have been...
