Beyond epic!

[@B_T_B]

That was so epic.. It caused a power cut just after I watched it.. True story!🤣

[@nephrium]

Talent and humor at this level is incredible. I can't believe we get this for free.

Well, if addiction can ever be free, then yes.

Thanks guys for the fun! 🤠Congrats Florian! 🥳 It's always cool to make some music 🎹 It's even more fun if u do it using bad gear! :D Used in jam: bassline - redsound darkstar 🦏 hihats with feedback - korg volca drum 🐴 kick & snare - alesis hr 16 (not seen in the video) 🐐 everything else - alesis micron 🦓

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much for the epic jam!!! You are truly the original synth God of KZbin!!!

[@rainbow_mess]

it was so fun to see the micron stretch its legs :)

[@birdie17uk]

We are not worthy!!!!

[@Hieronymus1]

Back in 2008, what else did we have beside Jexus synth demos and reviews? There was already a lot of talking but nothing helped and fascinated me more than your channel. Your unbiased and highly entertaining reviews helped me to find quite a few bargains too so many thanks for all your work Jexus. I was so worried when you went AWOL for all these years...

[@philxdev]

I have to "second" that... You are the original Synth-GOD of YOutube!!

[@mbessey]

The Schwarzenegger accent Bad Gear puppet just killed me.

[@wsippel]

Grats Florian! As a German, I'm trained to be wary whenever Austrians take over, but I think I can let it slide in this particular case.

[@okinawa1312]

but also wary about germans who make take overs, of that kind, possible. 😬

[@AudioPilz]

That got dark quickly;)

[@cravecave505]

From the first episode, you have shown that you can also respectfully "criticize" things and people on the internet. This is by no means normal in this day and age. This is real quality content that has survived its own hype and has become an integral part of our all youtube routine. Congratulations on 💯k (101 k) subs. 🧡

[@lairdkilbarchan]

I keep telling the missus: "You've got to watch this Austrian guy making jokes about synths and electronic music stuff, he's so entertaining and very funny" But for some reason or another, she's never quite as impressed as she should be. 😂❤

[@AudioPilz]

Lol, I think she's the normal one;)

[@TimWrightDJ]

That's cool though. As a child of the 80s, I was once ashamed to admit how much KZbin content I watched. Now I don't do Instagram or Tik-Tok, but my missus does, but in the 4 years we've been together we've found ourselves watching a lot of KZbin videos together. It started with CinemaSins, Honest Trailers, Pitch Meeting, etc., but has since developed to React channel, Beard Meets Food and others. But I still subscribe to, and watch a lot on my own, especially the music related ones...but that's fine. My point is, carry on enjoying what you want to enjoy. Not everything will be enjoyed together, but a good partner will allow you to watch and immerse yourself in the content you like. Our solution is that I watch my programmes and KZbin channels whilst she's watching her god-awful reality TV, like the Kardashians! Haha.

[@naswalt]

Actually had me laughing pretty loud throughout. Best Bad Gear episode so far

[@petestowne]

Man, 100K subs is a pretty big deal but I think you deserve even more viewers. I’ve seen your channel pop up for years but it was only recently that I started following actively. You’re responsible for me getting into electronic music and proving that while some gear can be challenging to use - with persistence and talent it is possible to make music with almost anything. You’ve also introduced me to a bunch of other KZbinrs doing electronic stuff and I love these collaborations and crossovers. I will keep watching, keep up the good work! Thank you.

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!! Delighted to hear that!

[@ghost_in_the_robot]

You deserve all the homage and celebration, bro. Love the channel idea and many phases it has went through over the years. Gaz battling with the slap bass was my favorite part by far though lol. Keep going my dude!
