This video is painfully accurate 😂😂

[@pollyanna147]

Always found playing sheds/house of blues/arenas so boring. Toning beats being able to walk around town, find some food, do so,etching, anything. On the other circuit, you are always in the middle of nowhere .

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Dammit, where has Harry been????? It's been a year since the last video, this is unacceptable! One of my favorite all time KZbinrs.

[@swAxzyyy_]

He’s at my school rn

[@CampfireTalk]

If this comedy gig doesn't work out at least you can fall back on drumming in arenas.

Dude, I didn't realize how much I missed Harry's vids until rewatching this one. We miss you, dude. Hope you're well

hes very well actually! he is now playing in a band called hardy.

[@LilPrezzy36]

I miss my drum dude..... I hope he is living his dream

[@GodsOfAudio]

For anyone that cares he almost said “Lot Lizards” at the end of the bus driver section. I’ll leave it up to you to find out why that’s funny

[@miguelvalencia4823]

Anybody in 2024 still waiting for Harry to return?

[@jakeklossing4352]

We desperately need a documentary, or as I should say, a "Dudeumentary" of Harry on tour annoying his band mates and waking them up with cowbells.

[@radelarosa97]

“Anytime could be the last time” I think that’s going to stay with us, from now. Want this pandemic to be over.

Haha, the greatest band of all time Nickleback. I tell you what, as well as being a great player you sure know how to edit and script videos well

[@peanutismint]

[@chucksano]

Dude, this was accurate and hilarious. I also love the use of the "Fuck it, we'll do it live" quote. Probably going to use that at some point with my bandmates.

Pretty sure you’re right. I worked with Harry before he was a rock and roll star and I remember him wearing one then!

[@hearpalhere]

Your sound check was almost as good as my old drummer's... "Testes, testes.... one... two... three???"

[@gcarlson]

Dammit. Another hilarious video. I wish that I could stop laughing long enough so I could experience the jealous hatred that I really feel. Dammit.

[@JMarshallYTTV]

Harry, thanks for the insight most of us had no clue about - and told as a good story. You have talent beyond the skins. Please post some performance video if you can and maybe a walk around of your stage kit setup - which I suppose you could have your drum tech .. er .. Bass player do. Later Dude!

[@adhyatmaprimananda9367]

Damn can we get Samuraiguitarist and Adam Neely to jam with him? I think they have the same level of non-cringey humour beneath their intelligences and probably the best comedic non-metal musician on youtube

[@alexanderdrumming9206]

As a drummer, one of biggest aspirations is to play in front of a crowd. Whether be 10 or 10,000 people. Loved this video and your humor along with it. Wishing the best on your future endeavors, continue to rock on, and maybe I’ll network with you someday! 🤟🏼

Noblesville! Whatever corporation is sponsoring the Noblesville ampitheater... it is named DEER CREEK. That place changes hands of corporation sponsorship and change the name each time, and it was Deer Creek when it opened in the middle of cornfields, and it's Deer Creek now with the entire town that's built up around it. I used to operate a camera on the catwalk above the audience, and there were a few shows where I would get a contact buzz from smoke drifting up. lol. Very cool to work behind the scenes and see rock n' roll parking lot living.

I have way too many subscriptions on KZbin, but you are still my favorite one. Thanks for duding what you dude!

[@dakotashea3561]

Uh dudes: im watching the Royal Rumble 2023 with some friends (which i dont normally watch wrestling). The whole night, my friends explaining who everyone was and why its a big deal or not a big deal for them to be there. The band at the end comes on and i see a close up of the drummer. Me - "Yo! Is that Harry Miree?! Awe shit it is!" I started to fan-boy out like my wrestling buddies had been doing the whole night with the wrestlers! Explaining to them who he is and why its a big deal for him to be there xD Feels like i just got punked, seeing him pop up there hahaha

Dude, Harry! Just discovered your stuff, and LOVE IT! I went to Belmont in Nash - failed my drum audition - love that I did- it taught me how to actually "put in the work" to get better - Curious if you could do a video about the early days of practicing and if your drive to drum was inherent or you kind of built your love for drumming up incrementally if that makes sense?

[@lorenzowoodmusic]

I got once abused as a local young roadie back in the 80s. Most of the tour roadies were total arrogant assholes and treated us local kids like shit. It was close to child abuse. The first and last time I ever wanted to work for any of those outfits. I still hate them until today.

[@Ey_up]

Your prose is outstanding- as well as your reading of people and their situations but you have dragged so many of us out into the sordid light of your touring experiences, that I for one will need to go back into therapy.
