Yes, but I am not talking about that video. I'm talking about this one, where Meat is talking to a band. It's the exchange of ideas, and ideas are not covered by copyright law.

Indeed, I think I would ask whomever uploaded said hypothetical video to take it down, but I wouldn't send Youtube a take down notice claiming my copyrights are being violated. Cause unless I would be running around in a highly choreographed fashion, making it modern dance or something, there would be no copyright to infringe regarding my performance in the video.

Yes. And that is why they seem to take every video down once there's a copyright claim made against it. It is Youtube's obligation to check whether or not that claim has any merit, and in the case of this particular video, I am hard pressed to see how Red Pony Tours' copyright was being violated. That Meat didn't want it filmed is, once again, another matter.
