What a treat to see Bad Brad on the X5 Podcast sharing some insightful stories about the music industry from a working man's perspective. Dude....

[@badbrad]

Duuuude!

Bad Brad is one of the coolest cats I’ve come across on KZbin! His channel is unbelievably entertaining!

[@badbrad]

Duuuude!

[@ChrisTibaldiDrums]

Bad Brad is the best!! I’m a huge fan of his travel. VA to LA to Nashville to Florida. Great stories and THE TRUTH.

Great interview. Bad Brad keep-on rocking

[@michaelr.4878]

You guys are right about what the majority of viewers want to see and hear when they tune into a youtube channel. Near the end of the interview, you guys were discussing Brad's discovery of figuring out that his videos did better when he limited the playing and just told true stories and shared his real-life experiences from being a working musician for several decades. You all nailed it. When I click onto a video, I don't want to hear a guy aimlessly shredding for 5 minutes..only to give a 1 minute summary and opinion of the new guitar he was supposedly demoing. If I want to hear bumblebee-like shredding, I'll go to my basement and create my own noise pollution. Most viewers who are serious players don't want to hear 5 minute musicial intros..which is usually the guy just showing off the latest technique he mastered. Less play, more talk. Real talk. True talk. We want to hear about things that we will never personally experience..and we want to hear about 'how thing USED to be'.

[@badbrad]

Preach on brother.....Will do. You nailed it.

[@ThomasPradzinski]

[@michaelr.4878]

Great show. Great guest. Brad is an amazing player and has a lot of experiences and stories to share. I really dig his channel. My only issue with this episode is that every time they showed the host, I felt a strong urge to want to reach through my screen and fix his hair. Just kind of mess it up a little bit. hehe. Great show, guys! I really hope that Brad's channel blows up. He is a good guy who puts out great content..so he definitely deserves it.

Adapt and overcome

[@badbrad]

YES 100

[@edwardbliss8931]

I loved listening to the Sunset Strip part of this and I'll tell you why. That 80s glam metal scene embodies all the things---danger, debauchery, irreverence, sleaze, recklessness---that music is currently missing. For the past 20, 25 years, lame commercial pop and rap has been the dominant genres in our culture. All that shit should've crashed a long time ago. Those ideals need to come back to shake things up again

Bad Brad exposes the unglamorous reality of a decades long grind in music, but against all odds, he’s still a good sport with a shaggy mop top wig, & a lifetime of stories…🎸 ”The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side”.- Hunter S. Thompson

I could see Bad Brad showcasing new bands on his show sometimes.

Big whoop! Sad Brad won his race to the bottom. He's about as special as an old pair of shoes😂
