I learned more about Barber in this interview than the past 20 years of his interviews combined. Lol

[@jimmerseiber]

Jon your music changed my life. You are my favorite guitarist of all time. Since 2009. So many shows. I've never not enjoyed a biscuits show, the biscuits are my absolute favorite band, and those that hate on everything just to do so..they usually don't even mean it. They are just trying to sound cool..don't take it to heart. I'm seeing you on Saturday, and it's always amazing. Thank you for everything you do and thank you for this interview. It's so interesting to hear about the hiatus years.. because I was at those few shows you kept for the most part haha always played in some capacity in my eyes. Hearing there's a computer program for the setlists is so awesome. I had zero idea you made couch tour and so many other dope shit. Noone Jams at the level of the biscuits, no one.

[@jstanislowski]

best interview ever. best bring him back. Bring up the paper towel dispenser lol. Or maybe not lol. Barber is THE best. What a mad brilliant man.

[@Budsport_TV]

Yes! The Egg in Albany mid tour. Remember that one. I have a much crazier story from Camp in Marriaville back in 2010 that has to do with Barber running over a tent early in the morning while wasted cruising around that campgrounds…

[@jstanislowski]

Delayed reaction but dish the details lol​@@Budsport_TV

[@adamisabella459]

Don't sell yourself short Jon, you guys are amazing and are doing great things!!

[@noturnleftunstoned72]

Barber is an original. Every time we would "meet" around the country he would be his 100% authentic self, warts and all. Always happy to sit on a picnic table and share a number and just talk shit. I have been to chasms in my mind while hearing them play that I never visited with any other band. God Bless. 'Restless fellow, yearning rave'

[@thegratefulwooks]

God i fucking love barber, im like 4 minutes into the interview and I'm already learning so much about him

[@boombasticktrigalias]

[@dylnthmsn420]

[@boombasticktrigalias]

I ask that question to myself I don’t know what to do!!

[@boombasticktrigalias]

lol. I love you Barber

[@uuuuu1111]

One thing I've picked up from tripping / being in the jamband/rave scene, is I can spot people who have tripped, just by how their eyes look. Jon has tripper eyes. Like everyone in this scene basically. Look at the guys in the Dead. It's a sort of faraway glint in their eye, like they've seen weird things and still half remember it

[@reeldealio]

The Disco Biscuits arrived 1000 years too early...lucky us!

[@user-wv1gq1vi2j]

Longest Babs banter yet

[@boombasticktrigalias]
