Trey is the only one I know that can roll a dice and write a banger song by letting the dice tell him what to write.

Just wanna say, I've been watching the channel a lot lately. I remember when Gear God's started, and the "gear mortals" and stuff felt kinda pretentious and off-putting to me. But since the name change, I've been going back, I didn't realized it had morphed more into Songwriting Gods. I've been getting a ton of value out of these vids, so thanks Trey. And gj on the name change, I wouldn't have checked back in otherwise

It pisses me off to no end that I have but one upward-pointing thumb to give for this video. There were times where I was like "oh that sounded lame," and I do that to myself all the time and get stuck in the weeds or just quit for the day... Then several times, you took what I thought was a simple/goofy idea, and gave it giant balls of hot cannon-fired iron. There are several things I took away from this video, and for that sir, I thank you dearly. You made my day. And this song kicks the llama's browneye blue.
