Beato pisses me off so much bc he is constantly saying shit like this but when was the last time he featured someone on his channel that wasn’t like…a YouTube guitar guy or someone else already relatively successful? Like where’s all the young bands you wanna see succeed, Rick??
I have studied film at FE and HE. Seen it all: the classics, world, European, avant-garde. I can't tell anyone this, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is my favourite actor. Predator and T2 are my favourite films.
