Sorry but his "explanation" is pretentious bullshit and literally boils down to "I'd rather know a secret you don't and I like that you want to know but can't."
I've never even listened to his music but in my book, anybody who jealously hoards/gatekeeps gear info because of their holier than thou god complex like he's got, however they choose to spin it, doesn't deserve your time or attention.
This isn't even to mention his excuse that “I want yoooou to experiment and find out what I do on your oooown” is kind of in direct contrast with how he's a professional musician who has all the time and access in the world to all the gear he wants to use, contrasted against his non-professional fans who just want to know what direction to start looking to get the sounds they've been inspired by, because they don't have anywhere near the kind of access to discover all the stuff he's been able to learn, without having to churn through a merry-go-round of tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear in their spare time with no guarantee of ever finding what inspired them to start the search in the first place.
He could instantly resolve the issue for his fans at no cost to himself but chooses not to, which makes him a cunt. Fuck him.
