The joys of trying to keep a band together as an adult.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

If only we could all act like adults, right?

[@PNWGuitar]

This explains why you're successfully, working hard my man

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Ahhh thank you so much! Doing my best to piece it all together

[@duckydog6424]

Your positive attitude is very infectious!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Ahhh thank you so much!

[@stevengoodman3498]

You look like a superhero with that blackout ink. So metal!

[@ChronicBreakdown]

Your blackout tattoos look sick man

[@frankiechan9651]

You're certainly grinding it out. 100% agree that a morning workout just seems to set me up for the day. I just love the part where you're refilming the Insta vid - rocking away and your cat is just chilling in the other chair. I lost my cats last year about 8 months apart (18 years old and 15 years old) and, when I'm ready to get another, hope that the new cat is willing to put up with my attempts at Dad-rock :)

[@PootTheBard]

Dude the grind is super real! Thank you for putting out killer content and keep on keepin' on! \m/

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thank you so much for the kind words!

[@Bear.and.treats]

“We need to touch up your wirst” gosh, every time I come back 🤬

[@brianward851]

Seen your vids pop up before, but this is the one that got me to hit the sub button bro. You seem like a real genuine, nice guy. It is very cool to see someone who seems that way having some success at whatever they are trying to do, really. Love your ink, and the guitar content. Keep it up!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thank you so much for the kind words! Very cool of you to reach out to me. It really does mean a lot!

[@michaeldiamond76]

forever I thought you were wearing a spandex sleeve or something. That is nasty cool! I love the black out look. You are very inspiring brother. I wish I could whip me up into shape with you.

[@kml062779]

That wasn’t j walking, that was Ray walking!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Ayeeeeeee hahaha

[@pattheripper8485]

[@Madchris8828]

You may be one of the most gracious KZbinrs I've found. Keep it up buddy you are doing something right for sure. I appreciate your kind teaching style as well. I appreciate how much you do in a day. They say idle hands are the devils work. Well looks like you aren't so idle haha 👍

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks for stopping in!

[@intrinzikritik]

Hi Ruby, happy birthday!

[@RancidAmputation123]

Happy birthday Ruby! Also thank you for showing us this, Ray. I often find it hard to not get overwhelmed trying to manage guitar, college and work. Seeing you killing it like this is inspirational!

[@draleigh8881]

when you get tattooed your bodies immune system tries to fight it do to inflammation so maybe that has something to do with your hip issues after or its just how your sitting or laying. diggin these vlogs man! 😁

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Yeah something like that! I also find myself tensing really hard too so maybe that’s it idk. Anywho I appreciate you hanging with me homie

[@brivington2011]

Thanks Ray. Have a great sleep and yes that Goldtop Epi is awesome!

[@peterbaker3878]

Thanks for the ride haha. Youz ah busy man

[@dewwhatchadew1]

Hey Ray I been watching alot of your old vids, I saw you had some really cool looking art all over your arms . what made ya wanna go all black out. sorry if this is a repetitive question. I was just curious bro.

[@MarkNuuuuuutt]

Happy bday ruby :D

[@groovetrain5756]

I just picked up an Epiphone TV yellow dual P90 Les Paul today. My 1st real p90. This video was solid, busy on my end also. Party on ladies and genteledudes ☠️

[@bootymcnasteez2033]

Great vid! I agree working out feels great and more often times than not, i write my best riffs post workout.

[@matthiasdingler2743]

Hi from germany love your good vibes stay metal 🤟🏼

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thank you so much!

[@Phoenix219]

Hey talking about the hip pain, maybe it's the sciatic nerve?

[@sillyness3456]

Great, that you have such a vibrant music scene around, that you can basically get a new bass player within a week.

[@seanflannery777]

Happy Birthday Ruby!!

[@doug941]

Guitar lessons for the Tattoo artist! Hell yeah for the barter system! "Dude I was only an hour late!" lol! It sucks teaching another bass player....but better now than later! Great video Ray! I'm envious of your energy! Maybe next time you can let us sit in on your video editing? That would be cool too!

[@BlackacreDoe]

I've been thinking of getting tattooed at Black Vulture by Justin. That's cool you're friends with Hoode, if I ever get a blackout tattoo I'm definitely going to him. I love how your cat is just chillin during the monster riffage at 12:29, happy birthday to Ruby.

[@SaberToothGary]

Hey, thanks for letting us tag along, man! Cool vid... cheers!

[@Nickivonte]

This was so fun to watch!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Thanks Nick!!!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

I know the feeling all too well. Thanks so much for the support!

[@dartthewarrior]

[@SDubU416]

All my work is black and grey, I haven’t had anything that was super painful yet.. I fell asleep during my ribs because it was so relaxing I found.

[@sebuzzzz]

[@diymusic5762]

That t-shirt was trying to warn you not to go on tour with CD

[@hammondjorand77]

Hi Ray I am big fan of your music and your channel and I am big slipknot fan as well and it was really cool that you did a day in a life and you are a cool person and say metal Ray 🤘🎸

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thank you so much! That is so kind of you to reach out! I really appreciate it 🙌

[@johnevered9640]

it's funny, it turns out I was already following hoode due to an aggressive following spree I did during a blackout tattoo research phase. small world!!

[@NidishB]

Awesome video man!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Thanks!

[@MooseN7]

Love the vlog videos Ray! All your hard work is gonna pay off, never give up homie.

Dudes doing the reverse Michael Jackson.

[@TheFatApache]

Ruby could give two shits about you riffing out haha.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Haha right?! She’s like “BORINGGGGG! Seen this a million times”

[@rockabilly12]

Love the vlogs dude.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks so much!

[@my2lastbraincells552]

I love these vlogs man, keep up the good work :)

[@derekperry2142]

Cool video ray

[@bygraceiamsaved5088]

Love the vlogs. Was wondering why your getting blackout?

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

"I have a blackout appointment." I usually reserve those for after shitty days at work. So... going to work.

[@MarkNuuuuuutt]

If only I wasn’t a beginner bassist 😩😩

[@maxcady5287]

Dude, very nice video! :)

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thanks so much!

[@mikeolsen9450]

Good stuff ray

[@Metaldad87]

I'm interested to know why you did the blackout arms, I know some people do it because their work they had looks bad

[@freebzz]

exercise is the best medicine/therapy. My #1 advice if you're not feeling "right"

[@kewlbug]

You’re saving so much money not having to buy T shirts

[@dannysamanthaanticks2887]

Awesome to see you savoring that glass of milk lol I drink milk all day everyday. But I'm also a weirdo. Haha

[@Kadoogan83]

Hey Ray, Im kinda new to your channel, so forgive me if I'm a little late to the party on this topic, but why the blackout tats? Are you trying to cover up previous work/that you are dissatisfied with? Also, happy Bday (belated) to that little cutie Ruby.

[@PaulKingMetal]

What's the idea behind the blacked out tattoo? Kensington Ave. looks brutal. It was so shocking for me when I saw a video from that area for the first time. Total Zombie Land! So sad😥

[@VapnFagan]

Wait, Your arms are all black? like, covered in solid black ink? Is this a style? or a form of cover up?

[@aneurysm1991]

It can be either depending on who you ask. Usually it’s a coverup because they like the style - so both at the same time.

[@VapnFagan]

@@aneurysm1991 wow... Once you Go all black you defiantly cant going back with these style of tattoos.

[@7DavesToDie]

Yeah I never got it either

[@JCross1130]

Should have made at pit stop at DiPinto Guitars a d seen what kind of cool/weird stuff he's got.

[@bygraceiamsaved5088]

Just followed on spotify

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Hey thank you so much!

[@whoopingcoughfun]

Dude if I was nearby, I'd audition 🥺

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Ahh man that would be awesome

It'd be so sick if you could demo or check out a hagstrom fantomen on this channel. Cheers

[@faiz1705]

was that a playthrough of a linkin park song ?

[@scottnorton5670]

Just catching up on some old videos. Homie quit because he was 2 hours late and you didn't want to wait around? Lord have mercy.

[@jameshayes9222]

Bro the chords you showed him is the exact same chords I was taught

[@bassman0079]

Hey ray, I’m starting to make KZbin videos (guitar covers) just asking if I could get a shout out to get the channel, if not all good.

[@thatguitarchannel2749]

Nice tattoo

[@bradywolszczenski5292]

Hey ray any artists you recommend for tattoos ? I’m also from the Philly area

[@gunnarcole6995]

Who else didn't know Ray was bald til now

[@TaylorDanley]

I had a bass player quit by calling me when we were sound checking on stage. Bass players man 🤪

[@xanderraymondcharles]

At least he gave you ample time for a replacement

[@TaylorDanley]

​@@xanderraymondcharles Yeah, now our bass player lives in a box and I press play when I want him to preform (it's a backing track). Way more reliable 😂

[@xanderraymondcharles]

You’re wise my friend 🙌😌

[@TheConfusedCyclops]

Wait, so its not customary to wait 12 hours for bandmates?

[@mattshapiola7368]

☺️

[@xanderraymondcharles]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@phillippitts6294]

Wait till you’re 64 brother!

[@markjohnston3790]

Why did you decide to blackout your skin, very extreme do you plan to Cover all your body in Blackout!?

[@douglasvaughn9349]

What guitar is your student playing?

[@creepymcpeepers]

Hey ray sup bro

[@28apex]

So I missed why you are getting blacked out ?

[@aidencantrell8534]

are you gonna tattoo your head?

[@kitten-whisperer]

2:36 exercise and stuff feels good but heroin feels WAAAAYY better

[@chugmarks]

It's not a real band unless there is some silly drama hahah :D Your new bass player will crush it for sure!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Emphasis on the silly haha. Yeah the new guy will kill it

[@gytrplr]

Cat man 👍

[@NANOBOT]

Your bass player quit? Good, imagine if you get far enough and then he quits. Those types of musicians just drag the rest of the band. I wonder why they even get involved in the first place.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

I’ve been wondering the same thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@NANOBOT]

@@xanderraymondcharles Hey Ray, if you ever need a roadie or a fill in player. I live in MD. I do anything to play some day in a band. I once walked in a blizzard for 2hrs with my amp and guitar because someone wanted to jam.

[@xanderraymondcharles]

That is so kind of you to say! We have to meet eventually right? And mannnn that is some serious dedication haha

[@IbanezLover12]

Well, that’s bs reason to quit lol

[@xanderraymondcharles]

Right?

[@IbanezLover12]

@@xanderraymondcharles like, I had issues with someone I was in a band with before, but I didn’t quit because of that. Still practiced together and whatnot. Bassist was probably just looking for a way out lol

[@adamfstewart81]

Your tattoos are uh-mayzing. Sorry to hear about the hip. :(

[@urfavali857]

bass player quitting for that reason is a childish and self centered way to react about something that is actually a pretty legitimate and understandable thing of you to do? BUT jokes on him, he is bandless now and ultimately punished himself 😂

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

You lost me with "any tattoo sucks". I have enjoyed all of my tattoo work, even the stuff that hurt (like the armpit). Maybe you should stop getting them if it's so miserable for you?

[@IbanezLover12]

That’s a dumb way to look at it. He loves the work, and he’s paying for it. He has the right to hate the process. You’re getting jabbed with needles. I’m working on getting my whole body covered, and while I enjoy the thought of them… Getting them absolutely sucks. Especially if your pain tolerance is lower than others

[@IDGAF_PLUS]

@@IbanezLover12 Yep, and you have the right to go $#@% yourself.

[@BlackacreDoe]

Lots of tattoo artists even hate getting tattooed, who cares? He's clearly dedicated to it and likes how he looks which is what matters.

[@IbanezLover12]

@@IDGAF_PLUS guess I struck a nerve eh?
