Fan Questions to Harley Poe Part 4

[@Yungjoegoldbergshawty]

Hey Joe maybe you should do a house tour or something lol

[@feralgecko9727]

I agree! I love his taste and casual, kind of vintage vibes.

[@desireemathlin7610]

I know you say in this that you make your music just for you, as an outlet to channel your own feelings and that you aren't trying to make an impact in any way. However, you've changed my life with Harley Poe, and sure many others. It has truly changed me as a person and given me new perspectives. Which means something.

[@bridgette6538]

I get so psyched for these vids, they're a ray of virtual sunshine during a really shitty time. I could listen to Joe talk for hours. Makes me sad when he talks down on himself, but his energy and goofiness are adorable.

[@dietdrkelp5831]

Fuck yeah, Joe. Appreciate your response to the question about public perception.

[@camoletidk]

If anybody is interested in the scooby doo episode it’s “What’s New Scooby-Doo?” Season 3 episode 1

[@tjpaige3784]

I dont know if you look at these anymore, but dude, lost and losing it helped me survive. I went to Alaska with my fiance fiance. Spent a year in Juneau, Ak to be with her family. She ran off to fuck a coworker and I was entirely alone up there. Seven years with someone I loved entirely. It literally just ended. Had one kiss on the forehead, as she smelled like mens cologne, and that was it. 7 years just gone... I ended up building a buisness and making some good money while listening to your album. It helped me a lot man. Its nice to know others have felt that intense heartache (as fucked as that sounds). Keep going dude. Much love

[@jeremyfrost2636]

I hope you do more of these someday, they're pretty fascinating. Hello from one of your newer fans.

[@Grinning.Cadaver]

I finally realized a while ago that the songs "Herschel Goes to Heaven", "Gordon", and "Lewis was an Odd Boy", were intended as tributes to the Godfather of Gore, himself. Lol I feel so silly for taking that long of a time to realize that. You're a clever guy, Joe. Keep it up.

[@jeremyfrost2636]

I thought Lucio Fulci was The Godfather Of Gore.

[@erinfreeman4367]

Please ramble on, I’m here for it

[@DingnutWingus]

Would you ever consider making a music video or short film featuring your clay monsters?? I wanna hear their stories I bet they got a lot 👹

[@jobawhit]

Yeah :) I want to illustrate stories about them too.

[@DingnutWingus]

@@jobawhit hell YES 🔥

[@paulharrison9938]

I have a few questions about the skull face paint on the Satan Sex album cover Who did it and will it ever return?

[@jobawhit]

I did it for a Halloween show and decided later to use it for a cover. I would do it again; it was fun.

[@eliguano6150]

When I was a child I remember that I used to see people listen to this type of music and I liked it despite not understanding it, I recently discovered the artist and I must say that it is one of the best things I have heard in my life.

[@hecatombe4724]

I figure your shit out lol, everybody be not realizing that open B7 chord in "Ima Killer" is not just a B minor... I don't even know music theory. Love every subtlety in your music and art Joe

[@jobawhit]

You got it;)

[@marilyntranson]

Listened to a podcast with John waters on wtf and he said that they have "sensitivity editors" where they cut things out like a villain being a racist. Even tho that's a very solid reason to make a reader hate a villain

[@TheBlackKnight1o1]

7:22 Preaching the truth man I was listening to a Sushi Soucy song earlier and before KZbin would let me listen to it, I had to read an acknowledgement screen that said "This content has been deemed as dangerous or harmful, do you want to continue?" I fear for the future of art and music

[@hughsterb]

So glad someone asked the Scooby Doo question. It was because of that episode that I found Harley Poe so nice job on making High 5 so damn catchy!

[@gabriela.9821]

love u so much man

[@Zay_Lo]

Love that your against sensorship. I literally feel something every time i hear one of your songs that's what i love about music and Harley Poe in general. Thanks for being a true artist!

[@corrodeddeth7011]

this guy really seems like one of the realest dudes out there. he's inspired me so much lyrically its ridiculous

[@Zabigetsu-TophatsAreTheFuture]

I'd love to hear any genre of music from you, you're so versatile and your voice could suit any style! Excited for the ukulele album!

[@annaleist9983]

Have you ever heard music by Will Wood? I’d love to hear your thoughts on his albums “everything is a lot” and “Selfish” I think you’d like his single “ hurt people? Hurt people!”

[@jobawhit]

I love his music :) I listened to him all last summer. Thanks.

[@Schadenfreudesaves]

I was a books a million guy in VA back in 2005 to 2008. Chill as hell job; got stoned every day before work and made coffee and did the weekly magazine shipments. Most people shopping for books were pretty chill too. Shame the pay was shit 😂

[@jobawhit]

Feel ya totally. Almost same story :)

[@gasoline976]

i wanna elect this guy as president frfr

[@DudeBro-lb4vc]

Thanks so much for these videos. Getting to know the mind behind the music I listen to like everyday is really awesome

[@millyringworm4164]

I want to say that I am glad you exist. It's rare that I come across someone that I relate to, and it's almost scary how similar we are. You have been a very positive influence in my life. It's amazing that you are able to work through your inner demons with your art. For someone that completely isolates from life itself during dark times, it has influenced me to seek healthier outlets. I really do have you to thank for a lot of the changes I have made recently.

[@Pewee221]

Joe I love you and your music 🏳️‍⚧️🖤 would love to see you live soon:)

[@Cinnaben10]

Hope to see you perform in Reno NV one day!

[@meldiyer3904]

I have to say, my introduction to Harley Poe was listening to a spotify radio station based on the band Ludo and your song "Suckers" came on and I was hooked... you've actually inspired a lot of my original stuff. If you ever get down to the Texas area of the country I'd love to see a show. I definitely feel like we're battling similar (if not the same) demons. Much love

[@FREDSDEADBABE]

Nice shirt! Showed that movie to a friend recently! I do like this format, gives me a look at how you are beyond the music. I have heard arguments about your music being sexist, transphobic, too graphic, too offensive, and so on. People just look too much into lyrics or words without regard of the intent of the artist. The whole band was super nice to me when I saw you in Denver and it made me feel pretty dang good when I was going through a rough time. I'm glad to know you're doing well and have moved on from the past with a healthy mindset. I too have recovered from harsh times.

[@lincoln5775]

We need part 5 Joe!

[@shaun5195]

I’m glad to hear about all the creative outlets you have man, your art is amazing and I’m glad you do it

[@Creepley]

I came into this video series with you as my favorite musician, came out loving you as a person too. Great stuff! keep it up!

[@justaguy6701]

Im loving this type of videos, you are such a great artist, im 16 years old and i discovered your music about 2 years ago but then i didnt really listened to your songs(just 3 or 4 of them), this summer i gave a shot to your music and i need to say thank you sooo much for making my summer better, i was shity this summer and you really helped, love you man, keep on doing great work!!

[@cassidyjones52]

Hey joe, you’re pretty beautiful. Thank you for sharing man!

[@royquinn]

Thank you for saying that bit on public perception! Nailed it!

[@ApothekenHeidi]

Yes, yours and Jamie's voices are awesome together!

[@erinfreeman4367]

Love what you said about not necessarily “liking” doing the music. It resonates with me. 🖤

[@puffyspider9606]

Seriously you are my favorite singer ❤

[@mattstrickland8143]

You’re an absolute inspiration. Got the b-sides vinyl in the mail today. Love every song. Thank you.

[@NeanderthalJoe]

Found your music about a year ago, feel in love and hope to see you live one day! From Ontario Canada

[@cama1961]

Much love from Brazil man, love your music

[@Obi-Wan_Pierogi]

I literally just got finished watched the last 3 and now this! :o Good to see you again, Joe. It's been years.

[@razrakinulyfe3265]

I can actually relate to everything you're saying here. had to step back and have patience,and focus on myself too."Lost and Losing it" is an album that helped me quite a bit years ago,but moreso now.

[@annaleist9983]

These videos make me so happy that my heart explodes

[@mattclaybrook9414]

Much love from Kennewick Washington. You're the best Joe.

i have just gotten the chance to watch the full video, i just wanted to say that im thankful for these videos and all of your amazing music. i struggle very much when i try to find new music, i don't like most of the songs that i find. im incredibly grateful that i found your music, they are all masterpieces. you really are a big artist, thank you.

[@emiq386]

it’s fun to hear you talk about stuff! super interesting and just fun to listen to

[@ChrisEvil138]

How do you feel about people covering your songs? I'm asking because I've done a few of your songs myself. Also I love that Street Trash shirt!

[@jobawhit]

I love it :)

[@srewsmurf]

you should contact gerard way and Frank iero play / Tour with em

[@blakimus13]

Loving these videos Joe! Quick question, have you ever thought about doing a cover of "Bad to the Bone"? I think your voice plus this song would be a match made in hell!

[@jobawhit]

Haha no, but I loved that song as a kid.

[@RockFia1]

These videos are exactly what I need right now. ❤ How did I listen to you since I was 14, so about 10 years now, and only found your personal channel now hah !

[@anywayscolette]

i am a big fan. thank you for just existing

[@extremerocker45]

Enjoy your videos! Curious about how you learned to make figurines and if you have another profession when you aren't making music and drawing.

[@GeneralKryptonite]

no question but I love your fucking songs, you hear this all the time i bet. you seem like a CRAZY awesome dude going through these fan question videos and I'm always hoping to catch a show

[@jobawhit]

Thank you for listening :)

[@wednesdayautumn8177]

I love this series of videos! It’s so raw and honest and as a long term listener I’m totally here for it! You’re amazingly talented in your music and your art 🖼. Hopefully I get the honor of interviewing you at some point in life.

Joe, I know a guy that organizes shows in Central Illinois and does small shows in the back of a tshirt shop. Once stuff gets more normal I think you would fit right in.

[@James-uw9ww]

Had no idea you had a song on Scooby Doo, was very fitting and once you know its your voice you can never un-hear it (this is a positive) Thank you so much for everything you do from drawings to your monstrosities and of course music. You music has helped me so much.

[@andrewbarlow4024]

Art is a Ink Blot test for people you are right joe people will inflect their own issues onto it and say that is what you ment when its not its their own guilt surfacing... ps i still find you kindred and wish one day to have a deep Philosophical rant with you about anything and everything. Im glad to see you on here.

Omg I have Once Bitten on in the background right now😂😂😂

If you do a house show tour and wanna swing through VA, I'd love to hook you up 🤙🏻

[@arielfelts9111]

You spoke about transvestites can be canibals too in an earlier video. I'd just like to let you know that as a transwoman that song is a go to on days I feel bad about myself. It has honestly saved my life multiple times and I'm eternally grateful to you for that. Keep rocking man.

[@beagle33]

Joe absolutely love you, been listening to since forever! One question though...how tall are you? Sorry if that's weird, I just think its great to have some fuckin short guy rep up in here!

[@mamamiazakaria7481]

Where can I buy your merchandise? I recently found you and your band whilst about 2 months ago and man has your art has been a god send to me. I wanna support you and see you grow man.

[@nikosaurus4238]

Hey man i was wondering if there are gonna be more videos like the Herschell and Lewis videos with drawings and music that tells a little story cuz i really loved those. Big fan from Norway.

[@redmunkay323]

Hey joe. I was wondering what the cover on b-sides and beyond was from. I recently got the vinyl and can’t figure it out

[@jobawhit]

I think there is a cover of Rocky Horror Picture Show's Science Fiction Double Feature and also one by the band Muse. I haven't really listened though. That record and some of the songs on it were released without my approval.

[@jenniferaliff8592]

I love your videos

[@DaniRobinsom]

Hey just curious I just saw you in the intro for the scary stories to tell in the dark documentary. Why weren't you a bigger part in that and did you do any of the animation in it? I was blown away to see you at the opening

[@Disrepose]

Thank you for these videos and answering questions, it’s really insightful and always interesting 😁 and I 100% resonated with your views on censorship and creating for yourself 👏

Hey joe I was wondering about the song bloodsuckers of of the have a great life album, it had a really upbeat tone and I always interpreted the song as an anthem to being yourself and being the best version of you you can be, and I was just wondering if that was kinda the mindset you had with that song, or if it was something else, I respect the hell out of you and your art and no matter what the songs about it’s still amazing man. I also decided that it’s gonna be my anthem for this year, and whenever life kicks me down this year I’ve put it on and it’s honestly helped a good bit. Thankyou for making music and art that’s honestly life changing, I’m glad you’re creative outlet is able to help you and so many others, anyways thanks man

[@jobawhit]

I'm glad you're using it as your anthem. There was a lot going through my mind with that one. I'll have to listen to it again and remember where I was. Thanks!

[@Heyxyz1]

Late to the party, I know... Why did you rerecord tracks such as "Transvestites" and "That Time of the Month" in "Satan, Sex, and No Regrets?" I guess this also applies to "I'm Coming For You" on "7 Inches of Hell" as well. Did you want a new sound or is there another reason? I have always wondered this.

[@jobawhit]

I often rerecord old songs. Some of my favorite bands like the Dickies and the Cramps and many surf bands I enjoy have different recordings of some of the same songs. I like to release different versions of my songs. Sometimes it's a matter of the original recordings just not having done justice to the song, and so I just try again. Sometimes it's just a matter of keeping the song alive in a different way with different musicians involved. Also, I like to release full length albums, and I may not have enough songs written at the time. I just throw on some different versions of old ones and new listeners discover the old songs in a new way. I think those are my best answers.

[@Heyxyz1]

@@jobawhit Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense. I saw you in concert in St. Louis in 2019, and it was definitely a great experience. These days, I live closer to Indianapolis, so I can't wait to see you again out there whenever the world goes back to normal. Have a good night man.

[@charliebrownsconscience8775]

Hey Joe, might be a touchy topic, but could we ever get a release of that one song called little Gay man?

[@jobawhit]

I regret that song. I've written some stupid songs based from ignorance, but that one takes the cake. If there has ever been a song I wish I never wrote...

[@charliebrownsconscience8775]

@@jobawhit So that's a No?

[@charliebrownsconscience8775]

Hey man we all make mistakes, it's not like that song inspired a Gay bashing movement.

[@charliebrownsconscience8775]

Maybe you could remix it to be more positive of Gays.

[@jobawhit]

@@charliebrownsconscience8775 lol yeah that's a no. You're right, it didn't inspire a gay bashing movement. And I wrote the song from the point of view of someone who was trying to show love to a "sinner." But who the fuck am I to call anyone a sinner, especially over sexual preference?? But live and learn I guess. I was taught that backwards way of thinking at a young age, and these days I do my best to reverse that kind of bigotry.
