Buskers CLASH in Melbourne - ‘This is MY time!’

[@ninouberjon679]

Vous êtes unique. Vous meritez être bien au dessus du trottoir et de la bêtise humaine!! Je vous supplie de continuer....merci

[@tartarart4922]

All the Best in your Life journey Markus and a lot of inspirations! Thank you for sharing your wonderful Arts here too!

[@apriltoronto5254]

I love his statement at the very end.... and, yes, he's so right... "Life's just too short" for something like... Great guitar playing and live looping perfomance... I like the idea of them both playing together, as well... could've been nice... All the best to you Markus... and for becoming a musician, someone who's generally able to make the world a better place...

Buskers shouldn’t need to apply for a special permit to busk. When are we, the people going to stand up to these beuracracies that want to control every single aspect of our lives & find a way to tax rhe hell out of us once again.

[@OlegPirogov]

[@Keyboardhugo]

Es gibt sogar Städte, da müssen die Straßenmusiker erst bei der Stadtverwaltung Vorspielen. Glaub, das war in Wien. Begründung: sie wollen damit verhindern, dass angehende Musiker, die nur 3 Stücke drauf haben quasi bezahlte Übestunden in der Stadt abhalten.

[@harrykey2448]

Not all buskers are good...some sound awful.

[@HisHowliness]

It happens where there are more street performers than prime open space. I'd rather have an orderly outdoor shopping space instead of having a yahoo with a guitar every 15 feet, drowning each other out and making the actual commerce suffer. In these situations, it's better for all parties. I'm sure there are areas outside the designated "time slot" zone that he could go without a permit.

It doesn't matter where in the world you are there are always the occasional grumble Bum you are a visitor and as such, we should always extend that courtesy. why didn't he just explain the rules and had a jam with you that's what I would have done. love your music mate just keep doing what you do, I hope this hasn't spoilt your trip.

[@MarkusK.]

No, not at all! It’s all part of the experience and it keeps busking interesting. I don’t like things being too safe 😊 Let’s hope we can jam one day!

[@sandspar]

M O N E Y and I don't blame the guy, no telling how far he let you go before he said anything. You have a responsibility to look around, this isn't your first time, you know how it goes.

[@MarkusK.]

@@sandspar Of course I looked around. I saw the guy set up quite some distance away. There are designated locations, with enough of a distance for both to be heard without problems. He started playing in the middle of my song and turned up far too loud for comfort. We could have both had a good session, but his mind was stuck on the rules. This was ‘his time’ and he wasn’t going to share 🙂 I had no idea about the special rules for that street. The website did not mention them

[@stevedunn5546]

I'm a biker Markus, Rules ?

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

"you are a visitor and as such, we should always extend that courtesy" No, he is an interloper. Busking is a livelihood for some people, and taking someone's slot (time and place) is taking away their job. "why didn't he just explain the rules and had a jam with you" He DID explain the rules. As for jamming: A) Why should he? B) Not every musician is into that. There are many highly skillful and talented musicians who don't approach music that way.

[@nightcrawleroriginal]

Great sound, great voice, on to the next. :)

[@jimmyapolis]

The man was understandably upset that you were (unknowingly) "breaking the rules" that he had to strictly follow. However, he could have let you finish the tune and then CALMLY explained the permitting process as the 'official' did. He seemed unnecessarily upset and that's not healthy for a person of his obvious years. Keep on rocking and we'll keep listening. Cheers! 🦘🦘🦘

I should have been nicer to him too, but it really annoys me when people interrupt me when I am playing 😂

[@shable1436]

As a professional musician, in your whole time, i can speak with experience as well. How many times has a venue pulled your power after you went over tome limit? Or lowered the sound in middle of song? It's an asshole thing to do, but I've seen cops standing at the backdoor warning them to stop or else they get tickets for disturbing the peace in some towns. Not everyone thinks, ahhh it's cool let them finish, it will be ok, because egos of musicians go if you let one slide, they all will do it

[@mountainboyoakley3119]

Concern the source, I rules are rules, the old China man was kinda rude too but at the end of the day. You have an concert elsewhere,,, keep playing the blues brother. 4:38

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Apples and oranges. You are talking about an act being stopped so that silence may reign (so to speak). This was a case of one performer who should have stopped so that another could have their rightful time. It's not about silencing one performer, but about NOT silencing the performer whose rightful turn it is.

[@hippo-incognito4357]

I don't buy that an experienced, world travelling busker like Markus did not know the rules and etiquette in some "venues", especially the ones he is playing at in Melbourne. It's rather cheeky of him to upload this video because it can easily portray \ imply the villainy of the other guy through his rudeness and impatience. Stopping him midway and all which I am 100% sure wasn't appreciated by Markus. But, do we know how long did he wait before he finally lost his rag? Do we know that he is local and not a travelling musician like Markus? If that's the case, then how come he can understand the rules better? So many things we can't get from watching a 4-minute video BUT one thing was for sure. The other guy respected the rule and he was also trying to make lunch.

[@professornuke7562]

There are literally hundreds of us local musos who want to play there. That's why the rules exist, because back in the 80's, you'd trip over them. You're lucky you didn't try this in the mid 90's. I saw punch ups.
