Which YouTube channels do you subscribe to?
 

I couldn't find a thread about this, so here are some of my favorites.


1) Mustie1 - The BEST gear head channel out there. He has 500K+ subscribers and for good reason. He goes into detail as to how he rebuilds just about anything with an engine. He does a great job explaining what he's doing and does a good job shooting and editing his videos.


2a) Rick Beato -Music producer that shows how songs are developed. Music history and theory but not to the point of being boring. Really gets into the evolution of popular music over the past 60 years. Lots of excellent content with good video production and editing.


2b) Rhett Shull - Friends with Rick Beato. Does videos on his life as a professional guitar player for hire. Lots of videos about being on the road, etc.


3) The Bearded Butchers - As you might have guessed it's about a family that operates a fairly large butcher shop. Lots of details about breaking down a carcass into various cuts and then taking them out to the grill. Good info on quality of meats and what to buy and what to avoid.


4) Virtual Railfan - I've always been in to railroading. Lots of good content showing things like derailments and their causes/fixes. Several live 24/7 cameras at locations around the US, including one at Santa Fe Junction in KCMO.


5) Living Traditions Homestead - A family of homesteaders in SE Missouri. Lots of content about a small farm and the daily operation dealing with animals and crops. Well done videos.



That's a few I enjoy.


What do you subscribe to if you subscribe at all? I'm always looking for the really good YouTubers that know how to develop content. I'd rather watch real people doing real things than the crap that passes for prime time TV.



BTW, I stream YouTube over my TV via Roku. Much more enjoyable than watching on a computer or phone.

HorrorBabble: Some dude reading old horror short stories. Pretty hit or miss but I've found a few good stories on there.

PHLEARN: A Photoshop tutorial channel that BEP recommended recently. Very educational if you're interested in that sort of thing.

I can't subscribe to channels, I don't have (and won't have) a Google account.

Also subscribe to Rick Beato. Another guitarist I watch sometimes is Mike Bradley, it's a small channel that is a lot about gear, amiable guy with some personality mixed in.

Watched walker - a guy who takes his camera and walks down city streets of popular travel destinations. Other travel stuff too.

Some channels with content for relaxation.

A lot of vid suggestions I get are historical stuff, some vintage comedy, really all range of themes that I've thumbs upped. Most I watch are random that aren't necessarily subscriptions.

I watch Stevie T and Marc Rebillet.

New Rockstars - Nerd breakdowns of Pop Culture shows.
ScreenCrush - Same as above.
Heavy Spoilers - Same as two above.
Wrestlelamia - Stories of pro wrestling past and present.
Screen Rant - The "Pitch Meeting" guy. Satire of how non-sensical a lot of big budget movies are.
KC Chiefs - Best team in NFL.
Red Tribe Cinema - Clay's vids are great.
Frog Leap Studios - Metal covers of songs.
A bunch of gaming streamers that are smaller.

I don't spend much time on YouTube outside of movie trailers but I think you might enjoy this channel, Norm's Rare Guitars.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf3...6scuGaI0YRkyNg

Norm has a shop over in the Valley up near Encino and high profile players, from Joe Bonamassa to Richie Sambora and on and on and on, stop by the shop to check and play vintage guitars through vintage amps. They're all recorded and posted on his YouTube channel.

At one point, Norm was trying to get a reality TV show deal but unfortunately, it didn't end up happening. But, the YouTube videos are often a blast because you get to see guys noodling around and having fun without the pressure of performing in front of 2,000 to 20,000 or 100,000 people.

Plus, they're usually just riffing away, which is fun and the guitar tones are usually freaking fantastic.

Here's a fun video with Bonamassa:

Red Letter Media - Movie and TV reviewers, everything they do is absolute gold

Cinemassacre - Angry Video Game Nerd mostly

Angry Joe Show - Video Games and Movie review

Chieftains Hatch - Guy walks around and crawls into tanks and explains them

ItsaGundam - Guy comments on social issues using humor

Many more.

I will definitely check that out.

Ty and that guy - Ty Frank (half of the writing duo of the Expanse books) and Wes Chatam (Amos) have a podcast where they talk about the expanse and 80s movies and shit.

Brett Kollmann - football shit

Donut media - car shit

Rose Anvil - guy cuts boots and shoes in half to see how they are made and whether they are any good.

The Critical Drinker - movie reviews from a certain point of view.

Assorted video game channels.

The Critical Drinker is pretty funny.

This video is 25 minutes and features lots of different players playing at the shop. It's pretty freaking killer!

phew

I have the sam the cooking guy knife :P Works great, still just a regular knife lol.

I watch him and a close competitor in joshua weismann.

Beato is exceptional in his musical knowledge. His recent video breaking down Seal's Kiss from a Rose is great. He calls Seal to comment on how he came up with unique phrasing and chord changes. Good stuff.

Beato's really good at immediately pick up a songs structure/key changes/chords etc.. He doesn't have perfect pitch, but his teenage son does. Beato will play a complex chord on the piano and his son immediately tells him each note. Beato is impressed, but his son is like "it's easy". Typical teen.

Do any of you pay for YouTube premium? Every time that pops up I ask why would I do that?

AVGN isn't as good as it use to be...

Stunned no one here has said Demolition Ranch, especially the guy that said Cleetus since they do stuff together.

I'm not signed into Youtube, but I watch several channels daily/almost daily

Richard Gene the Fishing Machine
Creek Fishing Adventures
M Hood Fishing
80's Metal Rewind
Michael Franzese
Sammy the Bull
Crazy Russian Hacker
Wilderness Cooking
Joe Rogan
Tons and tons more of course, you can find every subject under the sun

So yeah youtube is a huge part of my tv diet, to be honest if I didnt need the CBS station out of Quincy Il to show me most Chiefs games every year, I'd have cut cable a LOOOOOONG time ago

Between it, and free over the air tv... I could be just fine, but I just GOTTA have that CBS station that can't be had without cable for my Chiefs games

I've looked into Roku, but there is no guarantee of getting this particular CBS station either :huh:

Not me, theres more than enough content on there for free

i do watch demolition ranch, hickock45, mrgunsandgear and some other similar ones as well.

My deal is if i listed every channel i actually watch content from on a regular basis id be here alll day

Oh yeah. He is great with his mob stories. He's on Mike Tyson's channel doing an interview. Tyson is smoking pot the whole time.

Sam the Cooking Guy
Randy Santel
Food Wishes
Binging with Babish

Just to name a few. There’s more.

I didnt know Randy Santel had that much of a real following, but thats 3 of us now that have mentioned him. Maybe its cause hes from MO ?

If you're into Shantel, Joel Hanson and Beardmeetsfood are good follows.

Dude is one of the slickest, most interesting, smartest talking people I've ever listened to... razor sharp guy, he could've been the greatest Boss ever had he stayed in that life

Sammy the Bull Gravano is awesome as well, tells awesome stories... has more of a raw talking street muscle style than Franzese

Yes! I have watched numerous of his videos and really like him. Will have to subscribe! Thanks!

His video eating 2 lbs. of potato chips surprised me. Not much food but struggled. I won't spoil it if you haven't watched.

Subscribe to tons, mostly to 'feed the algorithm' and not miss out on key postings.

But so far as key subs, in order listed. Bolded are the ones, where if something new pops up, I generally stop everything and check it out.

Jay Leno's Garage is excellent! I'm surprised he puts it up on YouTube. He could probably make a ton of money through other source. Good for him that he doesn't.

Just subscribed! Thanks!

His son's ability to recognize every tone of complicated chording is something to behold.

AVGN does suck now that he's with Screenwave Media. Hell I don't even think I'm subscribed anymore. All of the original guys from the channel like Kyle Justin, Bootsy, and now even his main partner Mike Matei is gone. Now he's in some really cringeworthy rock band.

Once it became a career and not a passion, it went downhill very quickly. It was pretty noticeable around the time he began working on the AVGN movie. Which was a really crappy movie.

Gangsters of the flats

Hardcore fly-fishing porn

Everythings laid out on a tray, ok, nice!

Check out the vid he did a month ago about Vegas video games. He didn’t **** around.

Other than that, the other guys suck hard on the channel. There used to be other awesome shows until the new ownership ****ed most of it up.

I can't believe nobody else watches Marc...

John Antonelli. Spent a few years in the big leagues but most of his career in the minors. He answers questions about what daily life is like in the minor leagues and what life was like in the show. Pretty interesting stuff.

Jomboy Media - best sports clips & commentary on the yootubes rn (IMO)

I have a ton subscribed. And there is a lot of channels that have some good content and some trash. Here’s the ones where I watch a majority of their stuff.

The movie not taking off was the end, he thought he was gonna make bank and do other stuff.

Now he does AVGN because it's the only thing he has that makes money and it's obvious he's only doing it for that reason.

some of my favorites:

Guitar:
Tim Pierce Guitar - Surprised he hasn't been listed. Top session guitarist with great stories and guests. It's fun to watch how relaxed he is when playing.
Phillip McKnight - Guitar reviews
Darrell Braun Guitar - Guitar reviews, plus I like his playing
Rick Beato - one of the best as listed before
Guitar MAX - Shredder/awesome cheap guitar reviewer

Other:
Todd in the Shadows - His One Hit Wonder series is a riot!
Pursuit of Wonder - Great Stories
Professor of Rock - Great interviews with top classic artists
Wings of Pegasus - his 'Analyzes' videos are great
Produce Like a Pro - his Songs that Changed Music series is great

Kyle & April - Ride MTB
Red Bull

Lately a lot of Gamer's Nexus, Frank's 2 CENTS, and Neebs Gaming. Neebs is a weird mix of humor, machinama, and old men playing new-ish games...

I have premium, too.

You can run it in the background of the phone and listen without murdering the battery. I do this at work every day.

Worth every penny.
