Seriously, he's acting like he went out of his way to change this man's life, when in reality he gave him what essentially would have been a dust collector, he gets a million of those for free and all the amps and drums and basses and stuff you could ever help for. When you reach that level, companies just beg you to use their gear. Dave just always has to paint himself that's the greatest thing in the world he's a piece of shit. He's a dick head that I hate so much even though he is one of my favorite bands.

Kinda f@ck3d up how everybody clapped when he said he stole it, but nobody cared when he said he made up for it.

[@BHarris36]

They clapped because it was funny. He stole a shitty guitar off a guy decades ago and ended up being a rockstar, and even giving the guy a guitar that’s probably worth 6+ figures, due to it being one of Dave’s. What are we supposed to do, hate the guy for a misdemeanor from 40+ years ago? Or laugh at the comedic timing of “uh.. I actually stole it😅”🤷‍♂️ But yeah, I do agree that the reaction to him making up for it, should’ve been better. That was a good move on his part.
