[@violenceisfun991]

@@umrasangus over the past 2 years or so i have learned of so many musicians/creative types that also have disabilities. I had always felt the need to justify my creative hobbies to others, like as if me playing guitar was a crime; "i only do it to occupy my hands, i'm a good person really". But since becoming disabled and struggling to find employment, learning of other similar people has made me feel more accepting and confident in speaking about my hobbies. Now its like "yeah this is how i spend my abundance of free tjme"

I told her "Look....I may not be able to make anything worth all this money we are spending. I'm not the musician I was when I was a kid and even then, I was mediocre at best." She looked at me like I was dumb as bricks and goes "....since when was this about money? I thought this was about you having fun and making music?" I'm so goddamn lucky!

Man my wife must've taken classes from yours. I sold a lot of my stuff before I deployed thinking it'd be useless keeping the hobby if I'd have to take long "breaks" every now and then.

"I worked really hard SAYING that I would get a job" that one killed me lol

[@aiden_macleod]

I remember a Metal band I was in once, and we were looking for a 2nd Lead guitarist. The guy showed up to the audition with 2-4x12 cabs and a head, which he wanted us to lug up a flight of stairs and it took him forever to set up. The guy couldn't keep from playing off-time riffs to our drummer's 4-on-the-floor beat. We told him when he was finished that we'd contact him soon, and he left us a tape of "originals" to listen too, and added that it was his only copy, and not to lose it. Seriously, who brings the only copy of a tape of originals to an audition? We never contacted him again and he never contacted us. Win-win for everyone. By the way, we lost the tape.

Dude... Take the rich guy in the band, coach him so he can be good enough to be a good lead guitarist, fund an album record and a tour and you'll have your most succesful band ever imo x) The best part is : he didn't even ask to be composing shit. The only problem is : when he will start to use the line "I paid for everything, I should get this or that privilege", you gotta be ready. Because he definetly will do that a some point.

[@mattjones8523]

I'd take the rich guy too, but I would make sure he knows he's in with a few caveats. 1.) You are a probatinary member. No creative input/control while learning how to really play. 2.) Your main role is to pay to for stuff the rest of the band votes on (within reason and without any future consideration of being paid back). 3.) You will practice, learn, and play whatever parts we give you. 4.) Once the band agrees you have enough skills, you will become a full fledged member of the band. At that point you will be allowed to have equal creative input. 5.) Failure to follow any of these directions will lead to immideate expulsion. I think if you can get him to sign something like this, he should be able to join.

It worked out alright for Metallica...

[@Tigermaster1986]

+Matt Jones I have never played in a band, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. That being said, if a someone is paying for everything in a band, the rest of the musicians are his employees - meaning that they don't have a say on whether the person who is paying them has a creative input or not. You cannot expect to just boss your employer around.

[@mattjones8523]

@@Tigermaster1986 I see your point.

[@horohoro69]

Then again, it's kinda like a suggar daddy type of relationship : he pays to be with a "pretty band" even though he knows he's getting milked. Obviously, if the dude was like "I've got an idea and funds to make it happen so work with me", it's different. Didn't seem to be the case here though.

People that want to be musicians don't realize that only .001% will actually break though. Everyone else needs to have a career (a very good one) first, then do music as a side gig. The world has changed and nobody will give a shit about your band. Do music for yourself and not for money, because you won't make any money.

[@volimNestea]

You'll just about be able to pay your bills if you're lucky. And even that won't happen right away, it will take you years to get to that point.

[@Micas099]

Exactly. In my teens up to my early 20s I played in a band with my best friends.. just for fun, and it was. We went off to college. We're still very close friends. One owns a home improvement business, the other is a CEO of a tech company, and I do software engineering. We all can afford anything we want. I'm setting up our new studio at my home now and it'll be amazing when its done (one of the reasons why I watch Glenn). We've got a friend that owns a club we can play at.. no money.. just all the beer we can handle. We'll just do it for us and friends, and it'll be a blast. It took us a couple of decades to get here, after being poor AF for a long time. What came to me so naturally on the guitar when I was 17 is a nightmare now. Youth really is wasted on the young.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

[@xplanet2112]

Micas099 very true man, only now after working very hard and long hours in my career Can I now finally buy the shit I want and I’m comfortable to not actually need to do it, only for fun/shits n giggles. 🤘🏻

[@Micas099]

+Anti Phase I have over ~2.5 in assets right now (not bragging - follow along), and combined with my buddies/band mates something like 4.5. Yes, the members of my band' net asset is something like 4.5 million. We can afford a very high quality production. The point I'm making here (where everyone else seems to agree) is that it takes a really long time with a great (non-musical) career to get to that point. ... meaning.. I'm 51 now and it doesn't make fiscal sense to try to take my band and become popular or even recognized. Music is a side gig for us.. a hobby.. one I can fund anything I need for us to play clubs and such because of my day job. My buddies can buy anything they want for their part in the band. You seem to think that if some band has money, they will automatically become "famous an popular". That's not how it works. Only an extreme edge case is going to be famous and popular, so my point is to not even try unless you've got some ridiculous talent and the money to pursue it. You have to have both. Talent without money is nothing. Money without talent is nothing. So for you personally... no amount of money is going to make you a known musician.

As a software developer, it bothers me to no end when people think that pirating software is fine. I studied and practiced for year - just like any musician (and some bassists, or so I heard) - to be able to do what I do, and then some dickwart comes along, begging to get the software that I wrote for free because "I only typed words into a computer. How hard can it be?". Should I say the same for a musician? "Well, you just plucked some strings on a guitar. How hard can it be?" I never understood the mindset of these people

[@freedustin]

MechMK1 a musician has to do stuff in real time... over and over. A dev uses a bunch of libraries where what they want to do is already done and include that and configure it for their purposes. Not even remotely comparable. I guess if you write functions and actually debug your software you deserve to charge more than $15...but not much more.

[@igmusicandflying]

I'm a software dev too, and while I agree with paying for the software is the right thing to do, the DRM that punishes the people that actually paid for it also needs to die in a fire. freedustin: How about you stick to music, and not talk about things you don't understand. Using libraries is a hell of a lot more than "configuring", and if you think configuration is trivial, well, you've not done anything very complicated at all. In other words, if you're so damned smart, what have you written that's worth $15?

[@MechMK1]

Absolutely. I have no problem with anti-piracy checks like "Connect to a server, send serial key, get token", but the shit that Denuvo and others are pulling off is just insanity.

[@freedustin]

rk6314 If it were to stick to things I understand, that would be computing in general, not music. So you are a dev? But are you a programmer? They are completely different things. Devs deserve less than 1/20th what programmers deserve. Everything devs do was made by programmers. All libraries, languages, IDEs are not made by devs but actual programmers. These are made in bytecode, not anything you can just read. It's all got to be proven on paper first, then it might work on a computer after bug fixes. What have I written? You first, you brought it up. I don't write software, I break it.

[@Payne2view]

Yes but what if his sister's team gets to a final and they have an out of town gig the same day? All band members need to be reliable or there's no point.

[@solomonjenkins9505]

missing practice to hook up vs missing practice to see sisters game? You are a piece of shit man lol

[@chiclespateyro]

This is so cool! Loved it!!!

[@arnieslab]

Love this! Thanks, Glenn!

[@jakeguitarguy]

Troll or not, I’m fairly certain that’s a troll. Purely because no sane person could possibly shit on the Most Metal Band to Ever Produce Music, POLYPHIA. It’s physically impossible.

[@GoblinsOfFarmington]

Key word Sane

[@pepejl5000]

How to send submissions? Is there like an email or something?

[@passionoflovers]

Try the Spectre Sound Facebook page :)

[@EdExploresScotland]

I just wanted to say - wait for it ... ... this is really good stuff, especially the metal guitar stuff with ringing strings and what have you. At the end of the day it's all about how you play your guitar and how you position your hand to dampen down the noises that you don't want, but your videos are simply awesome. Thank you.

[@indieachsloband4612]

God damn! That last guy was honesty such a class act it's cool to see people keep their heads on straight

[@sashabowers6053]

6:48 lmao sithu aye 😂😂😂😂😂

[@shane4018]

6:38 Surely a troll

[@sebastianmejia605]

Is Misha Mansoor hahaha

[@thorthunderlungs5171]

Damn man I wish it was, but Glen is right. I do know a couple douchebags who are literally that fucking arrogant and self absorbed. If he's a troll he's a DAMN fine one.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

"Weeb Guitarist" lol Sithu Aye. That comment was pretty great.

[@SkyAce200]

Guitarist Sithu Aye wrote that as a copypasta shitpost.

[@kevinschmitt2310]

Just like we should pay to play because the bar is after all giving us a place to play. Kills me dude. You will forever be my favorite recording channel to watch and I do receive the emails as well. Keep it metal brother.

[@checkmate545]

Glenn, you've got to do more of these 👏👏👏👏

[@ErwinLiszkowicz]

As a Christian, I'm seriously sorry for assholes like that. Keep on doing great job Glenn!

[@no_peaches_8085]

hey fellow Christian, that was hard to watch wasn't it?

[@ErwinLiszkowicz]

John Mc indeed, the worst thing is that because of people like that people make their opinion about Christians whereas there was not a single truly Christian thing about his behaviour. He was pretentious, disrespectful dick, not a good human being.

[@moheuropeanassult]

Especially talking about using stolen software too.

[@bena5150]

yep was very hard to listen to that part... problem is, we Christians have become so passive aggressive... Our actions should reflect Christ, and not our mouths saying we are, which is just so Pharisee-like.

[@aeternalis]

@@moheuropeanassult You can't steal software. Stealing removes the original item.

[@ItsDrewsif]

Sithu ayyyeeeeeeeee!!!

[@WernerErkelens]

He gotem gud

[@Algabatz]

Always a treat!

[@sophiepaterson7444]

Every now and then I feel sad not to be gigging anymore. Then I see a video like this and don't feel so bad anymore.

[@ryanwilson5936]

Man, all of these episodes remind me of when I was in a band about 15 years ago. We were all genuinely good at our instruments but our other guitarist was dead set on not practicing to any cover AT ALL. His rhetoric: NO COVERS! (Self entitled “prog” prodigy wannabe). Not even to warm up. Needless to say, that with only playing half hashed versions of our own music that wasn’t even completed, our group timing sucked hard and everyone was all over the place. Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. I wasn’t a part of that group for very long and that entire situation with that band is what actually catapulted my decade long hiatus from playing guitar.

[@dreadpirateroberts7269]

Ouch, that's quite a lengthy time. I understand your insight though as I've been in a few "bands" back home that ended up the same way as what you've described. Doesn't help when 2 out of the 5 guys are the only decent players. Timing is everything! So so important. Now, anytime before playing with someone new, i simply ask, can you keep time? Otherwise it's always a shit show and waste of time.

[@eucabusas]

6:00 That was actually Sithu Aye's copypasta lololol

[@RudyAyoub]

Mark Eurenz Cabusas lmaoooo

[@cygnus3114]

Oh my god that was pure gold!

[@LordSetDagon]

Your show is amazing and so much fun keep up the great work

[@sebastianmejia605]

6:00 is Misha Mansoor from Periphery hahaha

[@FallOfTheAlbatross]

Sithu Aye actually

[@rzultypies]

Misha might've posted that one later too tho

[@SkyAce200]

That was actually Sithu Aye's work. Misha just copied it.

[@King_Sculls]

I love this channel so much!!!

[@Dorian2ification]

Love your channel Glenn. RE: this episode, some people just don't, or don't want to,......."get it". Keep up the great work.

[@hooliganstreet]

4:38 Glenn, you hit the nail right on the head. THANK YOU for saying something that needed to be said.

[@williammclemore5815]

I do not always see eye to eye with you on all subjects, but this post is entertaining and what you say has the ring of truth. Yes the ring of truth. Keep up the good work and keep your chops up. I, will try to do the same, when work, family, time , and desire allows.

[@KrozME]

I usually never press like or comment on videos, but this really made me laugh! 😂

[@courgeonaute]

“People like you are why I accepted Christ”

[@aarongonzalez200]

Really awesome!

[@Josh-gm3be]

Thank you for making me laugh and for the 7% discount on distrokid

[@darthsarkas5463]

That last one made me want to laugh hysterically but also hit someone out of anger.

[@splatterbrain3788]

I love stupid musician texts. I know you're kind of on the fence about it. Just make them as they come. I love it!

[@Scott__C]

Good stuff, Glenn. I hate when people don't want to pay for others' work but they want to be paid for theirs.

[@Jakodrums]

Wow I should watch this with popcorn lol. Tought I had seen the lowest point but I was wrong lol. People never stop disappointing

[@TheLuisberg]

Dude I don’t how I stumbled upon your channel but this is funny. Subscribed.

[@DestroyerMariko]

Ah man, needed this rn! I recently put an ad up to try finding band members, but I snuck in a "no brown M&Ms" style thing so I'd know who actually bothered to read the details... the number of people who clearly didn't read is bad enough, but then there are the ones who did read, passed the "no brown M&Ms" test, but then FAILED AT EVERYTHING ELSE!!! On the up side, no one's hurled abuse at me yet, but holy crap at this rate I'm probably better off just working on my weirdass solo stuff and saving myself a fuckload'a trouble!! x_x So this video was exactly the stress relief I needed for the night haha, and that Distrokid stuff sounds interesting too, might give it a go one day when I have something worth poisoning all the things with...! XD

[@karakhanzi]

My bud said you'd put it in and there it is, the best till last! I lost it when he sent it to me, we had a good laugh(cry)
