[@ilachow]

@@SkorpioMusic Yup! Plus he's done a bunch of magazine interviews, even NPR! :)

[@kit888]

David Gilmour has a KZbin channel with 1 million subscribers.

Try getting Guy Pratt first. He's not only a terrific bass player with great stories but he is also part of Pink Floyd since the 80s. He is currently touring with Gilmour, by the way.

[@dynamicphotography_]

That's actually the perfect idea. Guy Pratt is well accustomed to KZbin. I've seen him on some really good interviews. I think he was posting his own content at one point. He definitely has some sort of influence with David Gilmour. And it would be awesome just to listen to him talk to Rick for an hour. Then the next thing you know, David Gilmour is on Rick's channel! 😲

[@OwenVickersGuitar]

Great idea. Guy recently interviewed David Gilmour on his Rockonteurs podcast, and it’s on KZbin!

[@trowdytrav]

Guy would be such an awesome guest! I was thinking the same thing just last week. Would love to see Rick interview him. Guy was a guest on a music quiz show here in Australia a while back and he’s got such a great sense of humour and is an awesome storyteller

[@dynamicphotography_]

Somebody else in the comments suggested reaching out to Guy Pratt to do an interview. I think that's a fantastic idea. That right there would be the gateway to connecting with David Gilmore. Please consider it Rick. And Guy Pratt would be an amazing interview also in itself. He seems like a pretty tech-savvy guy who already has a presence on KZbin. Go for it!

[@ontheturningaway]

I mean David Gilmour gets interviewed in magazines. He’s in the latest issue of Mojo. Why not just read for a change

[@TBIRD0625]

A big reason I think KZbin destroys everything else is because I can pick and choose exactly what I want to watch, when I want to watch it and can exit out anytime I want to. Terrible for mental health but great for a dopamine hit

[@Un-ez-rider]

You nailed it ! 👍

[@BaronVonMunch]

It also has a wealth of content from people competing with each other forcing them to be better. This is real capitalism in action. Huge mainstream media became a horrible anti-competitive monopoly long ago. That's why it has no chance and is getting whipped. Rick here is an extremely talented person. Most people in Hollywood are not.

[@HiddenHandMedia]

​@@BaronVonMunchKZbin doesn't practice Capitalism. It's techno-fascism. I don't even think they make a profit but it doesn't matter because Google makes so much money. The rules they set are enforced ambiguously and arbitrarily. They also unsub people and throttle videos that don't fit their narrative.

[@bertroost1675]

I didn't know much about him, until I started watching his channel. I just bought one of his books and his first instructional DVD. Not only is he a MONSTER player, but he's an amazing teacher. Most jazz teachers are awful. Jimmy is amazingly musical too - he's the whole package. Maybe the last of the old-school style greats.

There is no comparison between your interviews and interviews by guys like Fallon, Colbert and Kimmel! Music is obviously a huge part of your life... your ability to go deep is crazy. This is the beauty of KZbin (and certain long form podcast). Fallon, Colbert and Kimmel established themselves under the old mass-market media system. You had to appeal to the masses. KZbin isn't mass media at all - you can go super deep on all sorts of weird interests/topics! Its wonderful. Thank you so much for your channel-I've enjoyed it greatly over the years and learned a ton!

David Gilmore simply does not like doing "media" interviews. He really only has to hit the big daytime and a few of the late night shows to promote his new album. When that round of "required" press junkets is done, David will go back to making music and ignoring the press. Not saying it is impossible, just that Gilmore very rarely does anything outside of traditional press, and as little of that as he can.

They're being interviewed by a real musician as opposed to a traditional media interviewer.

[@Yellowtruck55]

@BillysFingers EXACTLY.

[@zimmejoc]

in defense of the late night hacks, their TV audience isn't predominantly music fans, so they have to resort to the fluff or else their audience won't understand and will tune out. Long ago on Carson, Bill Cosby and Morrissey were on together. The studio audience must have been fans because Morrissey got a way bigger crowd reaction when Carson said his name than when he said Cosby's name. Cosby was PISSED. You could tell it during his interview. It was great, watching America's dad (Cosby Show was still the #1 or 2 TV show in prime time when this aired) get upstaged by Morrissey. Great times.

[@BillysFingers]

@@zimmejoc I agree! Late night tv shows have to appeal to the masses so they're more likely to ask the worlds best musicians questions about their experiences with ghosts over their musical skills. Fair enough but it shows why Rick's stats are higher than theirs. I think there's just more of us that want to hear a real musician interviewed by another.

I learn more in a week on KZbin than I learned in a year at school. You tube is great when you want to learn, but not so great when you want to make money.

Rick, I think partially why your channel does well, is unlike most media, you don’t do outside advertising. Plus I can’t tell what your political affiliations are, what causes you favor, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what your favorite food or color is even. You and the variety you show, as Joe Perry once said “Let the music do the talking”. I can’t tell you difference between an A sharp and a C minor, you say “Sus chord” I laugh because it sounds funny. I have no clue. I can tell you my musical appreciation has improved greatly though because of your work. Some day I’ll understand a Sus chord and that’s why I keep coming back.

I'm a big fan, and I sort of get the point of this video-- but as you would probably be the first to know, popularity doesn't equal quality. I remember your comment while discussing how great Dick Cavett was as an interviewer (and he was), that "KZbin is the new TV" and thinking to myself, you know that is not exactly the highest praise in the world LOL.

[@michaelduggan991]

Also you're comments about you're not interested in personalities: I 100% agree that gossip and hearsay have no place, but an artist discussing his interactions with other great artists can be awesome. Tony Levin's anecdotes about John Lennon and Paul Simon were a great example. When you had Bela Fleck I was waiting for you to ask him about Tony Rice; didn't happen. IMHO who a great artist is as a person is somehow so tangled up with how he composes, plays music, that it is always interesting. When I was running and gunning in 1968 the idea of social media and something like KZbin wasn't even imagined in science fiction, and yet here it is. KZbin at its worst is like watching your neighbor's home movies; at its best freeform but tempered with education, skill, discipline and preparation-- which describes your channel to a tee. My biggest gripe with your channel is that now that KZbin has gotten so good at detecting ad blockers I have to fork out the $20 a month to watch.

[@stevegardner8365]

I have subscriptions to all the for mentioned media, and yet I spend probably 90% of my time on KZbin. It just has everything I can think of. At my fingertips. Without the limitations of tv.

[@jerrychetty2524]

Eric Clapton will give you an interview, he's not such a bad guy, as he gives to other youtubers

Like 3 minutes in, still crying, can't continue,...

"Whaa, David Gilmour didn't want to talk to me... whaaa"

[@aleksamrkela831]

The difference is ginormous! The former are a bunch of painfully unfunny mainstream 'comics' who talk about irrelevant things. You ask the questions that matter! Rock on, Mr. Beato!

They are NOT long for the late night world, unless they want to transition over to game shows (like Leno)! i wont miss them!

You can watch what you want, when you want. Some traditional media filter things, so show what gives then views. Or what they think you should watch.

[@darrylwalker1867]

Gilmour’s loss. Same with Page. The interviews on this channel (ironically) expose more of the person for ‘who they are’ than the interviews who approach that directly. Your interviews are about a journey. You let the interviewee guide it as much as you do. You can do this because you are knowledgeable, and you are genuine. The interviewee recognises this, and they trust you. Trust well placed I might add. Keep up the great work sir.

Great job, fantastic channel!

I wonder why no one's tried to seriously replicate KZbin.... Someone might argue that Rumble is that... But it's not ...the real answer is Google, and the way it has a stranglehold on searches, email, calendars, and everything else you might do with your phone

[@szedivaak]

Didn't try? What about Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch, DTube, ... ;)

[@Gene_Cali]

There was Meta-Cafe before KZbin, but just like Micro$haft strangling Netscape, the same was done to MC.

Robert Fripp doesn't like to do interviews about guitar or music.

[@EasternSPAWN]

This video needs to be sent to every tv producer and music publicist Rick Beato music show would be so cool having singers songwriters on and bands playing music and having someone asking informed music questions. If anybody at Netflix or Amazon is watching/reading give this guy some cash to make a cool music show.

Get Sir Paul ! 😄

[@enginekid88]

I'm new to this channel. Now I tell everyone I know about it. Hope that helps a little :)

[@inconnu4961]

Welcome to the channel. You will love it! Unless you are a busy guy who cant 'waste' much time watching videos on KZbin. It gets 'addictive'!

[@FindtheRightRoad]

Posting a video like this can do nothing but help when it comes to finding special guests to interview. Would LOVE to hear an interview with David Gilmore. Keep up the great work. I have my own little channel I started 4 years ago (5400 subscribers) and I love KZbin. I don't make content for the money. I make it for the love of my content: All about cars...

I just bought Luck and Strange and it's my Album of the Year so far.

[@markusjayne]

With the release of David Gilmours new album Luck and Strange he is all over social media and I would hazard to guess that without it, it would not have debuted at #1 on the UK album chart. I would love to see you do a proper interview with Mr. Gilmour. Don’t give up. Maybe ask Alan Parsons to put in a word for you.
