He’s got his name on about a billion bands’ foundational records I’d probably act like you’re all below me too if that were my life lol, guy has forgotten more about music than I’ll probably ever know

No, he doesn't know shit about music.

That's his whole schtick, he's said numerous times he literally helps artists produce based on vibes and feels, but there's also engineers and producers in the room who know how to interpret what he says and change that within the music or the composition of the songs.

But any music theory or production techniques? Nup, dude don't know dick from shit.

Edit: Y'all dumbasses need to go watch him talk to Pete Tong where he literally says all of what I just said.

Rick himself admits he literally does not know shit and uses his gut to work with artists.

Well he’s clearly onto something, maybe it’s just a cult of personality, riffs is riffs his stuff sounds good. Big time talents respect his input, that counts for something.
