Hurt a Gear YTs feelings

[thegame]

That's too funny, I've seen his reactions before just by happenstance

He seems knowledgeable about theory and all that but some of his takeaways from heavy music are hilariously boomer-worthy

I.E. "wow Megadeth has amazing musicianship but his voice is off-putting" and "golly I don't like fast double bass drumming that sounds like a helicopter"

No shade as I'm sure he's just doing what he has to do to pay the bills, but reaction content is probably on an even lower level of banality than "gear shilling" channels by "musicians"

I like how you started this post sharing some common ground with the person you quoted, then moved onto a complimentary nature mixed with mild criticism while providing real world examples of the subject matter at hand without going off the deep end. This is a shining example of classic, calm measured DanTravis, personified. At this point in my post, I’d like to take a moment to personally recommend NordVPN, my VPN of choice. Then your ending really got me in the feels as I agree 100% with those sentiments. If you’d like to read more of thegame’s reaction posts, click my user profile and smash that follow button.

I like when the black rap dudes get introduced to the grrr chugga chuggas…. I don’t know why I think it’s so entertaining. My son called it dad’s football music when he was little and I was pumping him up for a game….

Not music related, but the square hole girl’s reaction is nutz. Ah I see they say she is an actor … I was wondering if it was a legitimate reaction. Now I know.

I like some but many are boring . Just depends

I’m with you and @thegame on this one. There really is no better brand.

TL;DR: A GearTuber got offended when I told them they frowned a lot and to lighten up.


Welp. I did it. I hurt some Gear YouTubers feelings. Big time! Sensitive lot, huh?

Some people need to grow thicker skin. After all, they're putting themselves out there on the internet, and the internet is undefeated.

More of this. Years back I told Glenn Fricker to lighten up and tone it down. As far as I can tell he is now super chill and not even slightly opinionated.

Next week I think I’ll tell Kyle Bull to stop using thumbnails that look like he is a down syndrome fella in safety glasses with an anime dildo up his arse!

Glenn Fricker only looks at things through the lens of recording. He can barely play, so his expertise and opinions about everything else amount to a huge mountain of monkey shit. The younger kids and retards take what he says as gospel because he has so many followers on YT. His opinions about guitars and amps are laughable.

@thegame - don't get me wrong. I like Kyle. He tries to demo lots of stuff through a standard set up. He did a bunch of Splawn demos I really liked and then he started liking Rectifiers so it was interesting to me to watch this transition. I like his fellow guitarist in Brushido Code even more. But his little quirky smiles and that one chord he plays ALL the time just ground me down.

But what really did it, was when he started to get all cranky and defensive about his YT comments and comments people made here on Rig-Talk. He used to hang out quite a bit but no longer. He changed as far as I can tell

Talk about throwing the baby out with the Sweetwater

i think totally the opposite, i find most all his info totally solid, especially for the younger guy recording in his bedroom, which is the majority of his audience. his demos and comparisons showing you dont need top of the line gear to sound good i think is what noobs need to see. his tutorials and interviews with guys like Andy Sneap are informative even for people that know what they are doing. i dont think you can amass the number of followers he has by pushing a bunch of bullshit
