I'm pretty sure others have heard of Rick Beato before but I just ran across this great breakdown of Metallica's Enter Sandman and I found it to be really cool. As a guy who stopped playing an instrument after 8th grade and started playing a really great stereo from the Crutchfield scratch and dent sale in my 1970's Ford Maverick, I found this breakdown really cool to watch. I hope others might enjoy this in our off season doldrums.

Thanks for sharing. Definitely enjoyed listening to this clinical dissection of our stadium entrance song.
Agree. Having listened to 'Enter Sandman' an unknown large number of times, the description of how it fits together and the intracacies of the actual music was very interesting. This from someone with no actual musical skills and can't carry a tune in a bucket.
My first car... 1970 Ford Maverick. I started driving it in 1977. Handed down from big brother. It was Petty Blue with black trim. He tricked it out with black and blue shag carpet, a Radio Shack 8-track tape player, raised white letter 60 series tires, and a cherry bomb muffler. It had a one barrel carburetor on an inline 6 cylinder. Zero to 60 in about twenty minutes! lol. Man, I loved that car! I ended up introducing it to a telephone pole playing in the snow one night.
1972 maverick; earth tone olive color; 3 on the tree that my dad converted to floor shift. Drove it for almost ten years! (also blew tire at 70 mph coming down Christiansburg mountain on 81. Changed it with cars passing 7-10 feet behind my back at 70-80 mph!)
if a song makes you wanna jump up and down, it's a good song. if a song makes you and 60 thousand of your friends and family create small earthquakes whilst jumping, it's a fucking great song.
the math on this one is fairly simple.
I've watched most of Beato's What Makes this Song Great videos. If you are a musician or even just really into music his explanation of production, arrangement and theory is really interesting. It's been awhile since I watched this one but I remember it being a good one.
