Is It Possible To Survive The Music Industry?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 авг 2022
- How do you survive the rock & roll lifestyle? Dave Mustaine was interviewed by Joe Rogan recently about the dark the side of the music industry. They touch on why it is so difficult to survive in this industry, and how it's possible to navigate it. What is it about the "rock & roll" lifestyle that leaves people so damaged and often in need of "self-medicating" substances? Has anything changed? Do we still glorify the strung out rockstar? Do we enjoy the car-crash? Tell me what you think.

What do you think about the mystique of the "rock & roll lifestyle"?
Hello Justin. While playing it, I just "discovered" that radiohead's "fade out" chorus, is basically Visage's "fade to gray" - i need your opinion on this, i mean, it's Radiohead we are talking about, not some half-rapper!
It's just basically hedonism in it's purist form
Mick Shrimpton summed it up best 'As long as there's sex and drugs I could do without the rock n roll'
I think it could all be overhyped.I have been playing for years and it's 100% noticeable to folk when you are drunk or on something else🤪All the gigs I've been to watch of so called 'Hellraisers' have been superb and the playing is next level🔥
That rockstar lifestyle has helped a lot of my favorite artists die too young. That's about it
I'd love it if Justin had a podcast interviewing other musicians.
Rick Beato has done some good interviews, but yeah, Justin would make a good interviewer I think. Oh also Andertons music has some good interviews on their channel.
Maybe. But easier to slice, dice and excerpt.
HELL YES!! 🙏
This comment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Lars Ulrich is also a surprisingly entertaining interviewer.
We really need a Justin Hawkins Autobiography. A non-salacious, honest account of your journey through the industry, drug abuse/recovery, and life in general. Justin Hawkins Writes Again, Again!
The autobiography I never knew I needed!
But I would need it to be read by Justin on Audible
I believe you are watching it every day on this channel.
excellent suggestion for a name the a book
My band opened for MD in New Zealand back in 91....Dave was strung out and constanly playing gameboy, but i do remember him coming into our dressing room to wish us a good gig, he tried to buy my Ibanez destroyer 2 but i declined his offer (still got that guitar) great night for us as a local metal band and Dave seemed like a cool dude....Cheers Justin.....
Cool. What was your bands name?
@@BosworthMcG Confessor , some stuff on YT, there is another band in the USA that came after us called confessor, type in New Zealand with the name should get you there cheers.🤟🤟🤟
@@danielthomas8507 thanks man, I’ll do a search and see what I can find. Peace!
@@danielthomas8507 im listening to the First Sin ep, your band was really good dude, im glad i found it.
My question is... how desperate were they for opening acts? I saw Mayhem live in 2010 in Auckland and they used local bands as opening acts... it was embarassing to say the least.
Man! Really like this guy a lot! Justin is so introspective and intelligent. You can easily see that he spends lots of time pondering the things he sees, hears, and experiences in life. Genuine musing is what’s necessary for great songwriting. Guess that’s why we call it music. My kind of person, genuine.
I think it was Johnny Cash who said something along the lines of "Those kids today with their drugs, they take it for fun. We used to take it because we had to." Refering to having to take drugs just to be able to uphold their grueling touring scheduals in the days when transport was even way less conformtable.
Hipster bullshit. Every washed up member of the old generation hypocritically talks shit on the new generation. None of them "needed" their drugs. Losers who can't practice moderation project their weak wills on everyone else. Good riddance to bad attitude.
Cash suffered from childhoodtrauma. Substance abuse usually happens because traumatized people are numbing the pain. And ofcourse in some era’s/ social circles in rock n roll history they were cultivating abuse.
I really appreciate Dave. He's been through a lot.
Heh, funny name, heh…
@@notsure1135 not sure .?
@@notsure1135 rip norm mcdonald
It would be nice if he could better communicate those experiences and what he's learned.
Dave Mustaine, a living legend, one of the forefathers of thrash metal. He is also a survivor: he had severe nerve damage in his arm, so bad, he had to re-teach himself the guitar, he had spinal cord surgery and more recently cancer and of course the aforementioned substance abuse issues.
Relearning isn’t like learning it like new, I had a major stroke& relearned too.
all those things happened to Dave because Karma :D sux ass when you're the one on the recieving end lol
@@JaseBDaley na, he literally almost headbanged his head clean off. Thats not karma. Thats like a weight lifting injury. Megachad.
@@JaseBDaley because you know so much about Dave Mustaine personally. Take it easy there Chad. Your career will get off the ground as soon as you get out of Dad's basement
@@randyd0514 i know what I know cvnt.
I'd say self-sabotage for me is usually a reaction to fear of failure or fear of losing control. If I'm afraid I am going to fail anyway, I'll just fail in a way that I choose, so I'm the one in control and really it's a success since I planned to fail, isn't it?
For sure. I really don't see too many people self-sabotaging because they felt life was too easy.
Agreed. My self sabotage comes from fear. I wish it was because things were too easy.
Please check out August is falling, absolutely amazing stuff coming out from them
Hahaha yes!
New song came out today, that band was my favorite senior year of high school
Duuude! Just got done listening to them! Great stuff
Yah that new song drop was great. Cant wait for the album!
They are above and beyond all else
Apparently Keith Moon heard “Substitute”, The Who’s new single on a radio and sought out the other members ranting that they had hired another drummer behind his back. They hadn’t, he just couldn’t remember the recording session.
🤣🤣🤣 that's a great story
David Bowie said once that he had no memory whatsoever of the recording sessions for Station to Station.
The depths of Cocaine use you’d have to reach to erase years. Man.
@@domenicgalata1470 Yeah, it’s unbelievable. Not glamorising the lifestyle because when Keith moved to L.A. In the ‘70’s he woke to a goldfish bowl full of pills and he would wash a handful down for breakfast with champagne and brandy. Not a good place to be. Bowie stated he used “Industrial” levels of coke. Amazing music though…
Appropriate song title!
Justin Hawkins = Good information /Good conversation/Damn good entertainment 🍻
And amazing music
Joe Rogan = Bad information/Good conversation/Mediocre entertainment
Justin, check out August is Falling! Would love to get your take on their new single
August is falling really has helped me through some tough times over the years
I'm so happy their new single came out today.
I like your channel and your vibe comes off honest and not boring still newbie here glad I found this
I like your name 🤘 lol my two best bands rolled into one
@@bazbarrow6160 thanks
4:45 Stigmatism refers to image formation in optics.
Astigmatism is a refractive error due to abnormalities of the cornea/lens (surface, shape, curvature) that results in blurred vision.
Bulging of the eyes is called proptosis/exophthalmos and is most often caused by Graves disease (hyperthyroidism), where swelling of tissue behind/around the eye pushes the eyeball forward.
Right. But Dave would have done better with "stigma".
When stigma becomes ophthalmology - well done
It's good to listen to someone who has survived. I myself am one of those. I don't cut myself off from the past because I know it's part of me. It was and will be.
Justine, August is Falling finally releasing an official EP. Please do a deep dive on these poppunk legends... thereis such a surprising amount of depth to their story, it's a wild ride... pretty funny too.
I’ve loved that band AiF since I was in kindergarten.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
👍
Pretty stoked for it tbh
First 100 people to buy the EP all get a hot tub as well!!
Justin, I'm so happy I've found your channel. Great insight into music and music business. And, you're a really great guy! Thanks so much and please go on and on and on. 🎸
I find Alice Cooper really inspiring for the way he’s helped others in the industry get clean and sober after he did so himself
Early in Megadeth's career he tried to warn Dave Mustaine about drugs and alcohol, yeah that didn't take. 😄
I don't think I've seen a better take on the industry than Justin Hawkins has. I really think it would be great if he had his own podcast and interviewed other musicians. He just does a great job talking about sensitive subjects. I feel like he could really get other artists to open up.
I think he nailed the point of "we should be supporting each other". I feel like what Rogan does is great, but it would be awesome if we had that for the music industry. A place where artists can go to just talk and be open and honest about things they deal with.
Just found your channel yesterday, subbed and have been binge watching past episodes. Great stuff!
So insightfull.... t'was a service then a product and back to a service again...... we have been saying this for a few years. Musicians (and artists in general) are so valuable to society the industry really needs to change, but we need to consider how we consume music..... I still love albums!
The thing that makes me laugh is countries, like Ireland for example, boast a heritage of artists, from writers, to poets, from panters to musicians, but try and get by as a young artist nowadays! You'll be snuffed out at every turn.
The notion that drug use is a symptom of rock & roll ignores how common heroin use was with Jazz musicians including some of the most famous ones such as Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, John Coltrane etc. Country and folk artists also indulged as well. Country legend Hank Williams was known mainly for his alcoholism but he also used heroin, cocaine and morphine.
People who are compelled to make stuff are often needing to self-medicate.
"Minnie The Moocher" mentions cocaine and heroin, in a somewhat coded way.
Country and Western stars were some of the heaviest users. Especially in the days when you could get speed and valium over the counter at chemists.
He was introduced to heroin by the Jazz guys he had in the band on the first two records (Chris Poland /Garr Samuelson ) , he actually bought it up in his biography .
There were hardcore addicts from the earliest days of jazz. Musicians who played with Bix Beiderbecke in the 20s had notes on their sheet music to "wake up Bix" for his solos as he would often be passed out during performances.
I have a renewed respect for C&W now thanks😁
Very thought provoking .....I think many people view the Rock and Roll lifestyle through the lens of how " cool and glamorous" fame and the musicians appear to be...and many don't even think about the pitfalls and temptations and the consequences thereof....I honestly admire anyone who is strong enough to come out of the "other side"of rock to a healthier lifestyle....especially when it is still so prevelant.
It’s a romantic notion, the idea of the quintessential rockstar. Someone who bares their soul to the world through their music, abuses substances to cope with the physical, mental, and emotional damage of public scrutiny and touring, then finally succumbs tragically to poor choices. I still think Amy Winehouse had a death wish and wanted to be part of the 27 club.
These videos you put out are killer. Very informative and presented brilliantly!
I love your understated sense of humour. You make the world a little bit happier. Cheers mate.
Cheers! That's really kind of you.
This guy is drinking water from a wine bottle and you're sending him cash?
@@bubblybubbles9052 This comment makes no sense. lol Why would you at all be worried how someone spends their money. That's is legitimately weird, and borderline unhinged. I grew up in a time where I would spend 17 dollars of money I didnt have each week to buy my favorite bands CD. Simply because it made my life better. I could have downloaded it for free off Limewire, but I wanted to support the artist. Since people rarely buy music now, I think its more than fair to send someone that you feel is giving you some entertainment and possibly even insight 10 dollars. How do you not know the guy who sent the money isn't more wealthy than Justin? And assumming he isn't, who cares? Stop pocket watching, live and let live and don't worry what others do with their own money.
@@YerpDerp17 I stopped reading your comment when you said "unhinged"... lol... Try using more realistic language that doesn't label yourself as a pompous douche...
Unhinged is when you see a comment on RUclips, then you write a long paragraph going way beyond the initial comment.
UNHINGED!
I love the water in the booze bottle. Love your channel, Love the darkness! I get love that I get turned on to a lot of bands thanks to you. You are doing a good service, no pun intended. So glad you came to Houston and I got to see you guys! What a treat!
Hi Justin. I've listen to your music for years but after listening to MANY of your JHRA episodes, I've drawn the conclusion that you are a really lovely person. Please continue :)
I have never been a big fan of Megadeth, but I have really come to like Dave's interviews. He has an interesting perspective and the long Gibson interview he did gave a lot of good context as to why he was the way he was-- glad to see he is getting healthy after the fight with cancer.
become a fan then LOL
Thank you Jus, I'm old enough to remember some of those 60's & 70's rockers who did a lot of drugs, still alive (barely) to tell the tale, and each generation that comes through, thinks this is glamorous/won't happen to them/they know better etc. I also remember media fascination with the likes of Boy George, and the media camping outside his house waiting for him to die. He didn't so no front page news. Harrowing stuff and I salute those who grace us with their genius and creativity like your gorgeous self. Stay well and happy x
You have to check out August is Falling! Popping little song mixed by Butch Walker!
Nobody cares dude.
@@mikeoxinya570 Get with it man
That intro is so catchy that i can't stop trying to, at least , get a little closer tuned hahah,love your vids dude, come back to Buenos Aires once more!!
Great video Justin. In fact, it's a consistently great channel. Dave has always been a total riff machine and I really respect his guitar work. The frustration I feel with him is that on one hand he laments the lack of people giving him frank advice, and on the other, he fires people at the drop of a hat. How can you expect people to tell you how it is if you're going to kick them out for saying so? However, his comments regarding self-medication are absolutely spot on and people should always be humble enough to listen to those who have been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale.
Nothing personal but unless you know of him firing any members explicitly for "telling him like it is" I don't really know how this is relevant. Could just be me but I don't particularly know of him firing any members for that. Also some members have quit of their own accord as opposed to Dave firing them both Broderick and Drover quit as well as Freidman. He fired Chris Poland and Gar Samuelson specifically for selling the bands gear to buy heroin and the entire "World Needs A Hero" lineup was essentially dismissed as part of Dave disbanding the band for two years. His return wasn't even supposed to be with a Megadeth album in that regard he wanted to start a solo career but was under contract for more Megadeth albums. He did have a second falling out with Chris Poland because according to Chris Dave or his management didn't want to pay Chris for his work on "The System Has Failed" which is pretty sleazy if true but I still don't think that's on topic.
It happened to him and the band that fired him ended up seeing some moderate success.... I think their name was Metallicat or Metalips? Some dude named Lars Newsted fired him.
I think it's worked for Megadeth though, had he kept the Killing is my business line up and not hired Marty and Nick, Countown to Extinction and Rust in Peace wouldn't have happened.... His line up right after that had the double live album was killer... And now he has Kiko on guitar, and a killer drummer. On the flip side of all that maybe Crushem and that awful album never would have happened had the members not been afraid to speak up.
@@Turk_2023 Nah it was James Hammett.
Correction on the beginning there: Dave Mustaine did play on Metallica's original first demo tape No Life Til' Leather playing some of the songs and essentially the same solos that ended up on their first official album Kill Em All. He was kicked out right before they recorded Kill Em All and Kirk Hammet is pretty much playing all the same solos Dave made because there wasn't time for him to write new ones.
He's also credited with contributing to the writing of songs up to mop, no? It's great how it worked out for fans of thrash but you have to wonder how Metallica's sound would have been without Dave getting booted for being a fuckhead. I know Lars founded the band but I can't believe met stuck with him, he's as annoying as his skills are subpar
Lol he kept using “Astigmatism” incorrectly. Love how you jumped on it right away 😅
Love the way you don't take yourself so seriously how refreshing love your content to thankyou 👍🇭🇲
"astigmatism" lol. great video as always Justin. Dave's a legend.
Hi Justin. I have stumbled onto this channel and am in the process of rediscovering your music. How about a series discussing the inspiration and development of each of your songs? I think this should be quite interesting. Cheers
I like Dave, faults and all, Because we all have them, and most these guys did really push the envelope and make some great music. Most are not the same as they used to be. And he's media gold at the moment for some reason.
Awesome insights - JHAWK, you sure know how to give us the visions of the music lifestyles.....10/10
Can You more of this kind of videos? Analysing interviews, this was one of your Best.
August is falling...... Please do a review of this legendary punk band
Beato should interview Mustaine
Fkn love it! Another quality vid. Cheers. Much love, everybody.
Ooh I must check that interview out! I personally think Dave is fab a true metal god! Another great vid thanks Justin🖤🙏🤘
Yeah, I've listened to the first half hour - really interesting so far - though I'm not a huge Megadeth fan, so a lot is quite surprising to me.
TBO, Justin's "Straight in with the drugs n alcohol thing" line didn't sit right with me, so I wanted to hear for myself. As I expected, this was not the case. They talked about all sorts of stuff, including martial arts, early influences, learning instruments etc before "drugs n alcohol' about half an hour in.
If you're a fan you probably know much more than I did, but he's defo piqued my interest. Enjoy ✌️😎🤘
This was a 2 hour chat. This was just a snippet where Joe wanted to hear is opinion on this topic. Nothing more nothing less and fascinating to listen to. As ate you Justin 🥰
I thought from the title that this was an episode about surviving a Joe Rogan podcast interview...you know, before your brain turns completely to mush.....
Justin, fabulous commentary as always. Your videos always brighten my days. Did I miss one though that explained your change of scenery? Also, this just started happening w/ the change, but even though you're often making an inquiry or looking for confirmation, I'd prefer not to see you speak w/ whoever else is in the room (producer?). I don't know why it bothers me so but I'd prefer your focus be solely on your viewers. Absolutely love your commentaries/analysis. Your total glee at seeing Steve Stevens on Billy Idol's video for Caged a couple of days ago was priceless! Always feel better after viewing one of your videos. Thank-you!
Dave played on the Metal Masacre release of Hit the Lights.
Love your music your style and your podcasts
I think after playing a really kicking show to a large and appreciative audience, the buzz on stage must be awesome. Then the come down is massive and instant. So I can see why people would want the feeling to continue.
Yes 23 hours not feeling the high of the stage and nothing to do but wait for the next hour or two on stage .
Plus being a Musician that your job was to get on stage in bars drink, party and make sure everyone is enjoying...
If a musician every cry's there job is hard or difficult then they never worked an actual job. Tell me job you get paid more if you fuck up get drunk fall off stage or end up in hospital for drug overdose so on..
Still the greatest job anyone could dream to have . I enjoyed as long as I could , it was a blast and so many great memories of truly living life to the fullest .
Rust in peace. Absolute gold. RIP Nick Menza.
Thank you For the wonderful video. Im getting better at playing notes on instruments and will only be getting better while watching this great youtube channel
FYI, Kiko Loureiro has a RUclips channel with behind the scenes Megadeth. Check it out. Very healthy backstage work for top Musician’s on the road. Joe Rogan is a doink
I love your commentaries. Please know your proper English gentleman persona is very much and appreciated and lifts my day. Carry on and Stay cheeky. PS. Joe Rogan is an ultra maroon
I saw you in 2004 when I was 6 or 7, you set the standard for every gig I've gone to since, damm, your a great guy
Some of the best music was written on drugs! Maybe that's the problem nowadays not enough of the creative drug music. Bill Hicks said it best.
Hey Justin, just wanted to let you know I recently stumbled upon your channel and I've been thoroughly enjoying it! I've also started digging into The Darkness' discography and I have to say, I'm a fan. Love Is Only a Feeling is quickly becoming one of my favourite songs and I only wish I started listening to you guys sooner but I'm thankful I got here in the end. I wish you well in all of your endeavours. Thank you!

Jussy Hawk Superstar, I just binge-watched 1971. Thx for the recommendation and for bringing light into my life every day!!!
Brilliant! Glad you liked!
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain I know I can rely on your tips. And currently binge-watching is all I can do, as my summer-holidays I longed 2.5years for turned into being confined in our hotel-room in sunny Greece thx to being fucking Covid-positive. Shit happens…
I was watching a bunch of 90's/2000's rap vids(not by choice) and i was amazed at how the drug/bling/Bentley culture was promoted in every single clip. Im pretty sure most of these rappers couldn't afford all of the luxury cars and yachts, and they are most likely owned/hired by the record company just to promote luxury goods.The music industry does alot to promote certain undesirable cultures to the young and and impressionable.
Keith Moon was an amazing drummer.
This channel is up there with the best👍👍👍
I imagine ‘the early days’ is referring to Dave’s early music days, beginning in 1981.
I was a little surprised when looking through Justin's vids today...though he covers many legendary bands and artists...and music related subjects.... one amazing band is absent ...which is odd considering its longevity and history...over 50 years I believe.though theres been many changes in the bands line up..it's still led by its founder.Dave Brock....and certainly one band that's been very influential....and relevant to the topic of drugs and music....the group im referring to is..HAWKWIND....perhaps Justin might consider a video on them....
Why..do you type ...like THIS... looks daft m8
Huge Megadeth fan from the Marty Friedman days.I personally think when you have album sales as big as Megadeth,record companies couldn't give a toss about your intake of substances.I like Dave.Always honest👍

Keep on riding Justin time. Love your content.
It's called a Gi Justin. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu seems to be very popular within the Hardcore and Punk Rock scene at the moment. It pretty much came from NYHC and the violence at shows, people including musicians needed to learn how to fight. I think Harley Flanagan and Ray Cappo from Cro Mags and Youth of Today kind of started the Jiu Jitsu thing amongst their peers.
I can appreciate that Dave’s toxicity stems from an incredibly traumatizing childhood but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s toxic.
!!! And you get this information from whom or where?
I actually used to run in the same circles as his illegitimate daughter (she didn't know he was her father at the time) and it's interesting because she was just as cold and abrasive as he is/was, so it was funny when she found out he was her father, because it made perfect sense (also, she absolutely looks like his daughter - same hair color, facial features, etc).
She was a lesbian though, and he had just become a Christian when they met for the first time, and he was sort of giving her shit for 'living a sinful lifestyle' and he also dogged her for playing bass in her band instead of guitar, because "bass is for people who aren't good enough to play guitar" 🤣
I haven't seen her around in years, but I genuinely hope they were able to find SOME sort of father/daughter relationship, even if there was of course no real chance of them becoming super close - it's always cool to be able to stay somewhat connected to your biological parents.
...whoa, the internet has sort of been wiped of any info regarding this. She actually wrote about it in the Seattle local alternative paper The Stranger, but that article apparently either never made it on to the internet or merely didn't survive long on it. How fascinating.
I think the main purpose of self sabotage is to eliminate others expectations.
True. Also some people have a deep seated self esteem issue where they panic when things go well for too long, or they feel they somehow don't deserve it.
Definitely your statement about eliminating the spector of others expectations hanging over you by sabotage is true.
Catching the use of astigmatism was amazing 🤣
I really appreciate your videos. I've learned so much

Hey Hawko, do you reckon next time you do one of these vids you could play more of the video you’re talking about and less cutting in with your musings? That way we get a bit more context to what you’re analysing. Maybe play most of the video then talk about it
The Pot wasn't as strong.
But the MDMA and cocaine that I got in the '80s was way way better than what you could find today
I watched the whole interview. It was actually fascinating..he badly messed up his neck due to headbanging lol, i mean that's dedication Lol, He's a living legend in my book.
Every singer from the big four thrash bands has had neck surgery at this point 😅
I also watched the whole interview…if you took body language, language experts and some fact checkers most likely you’d find 90% of the stories Dave tells are complete bullshit. There’s a reason he can’t keep band mates and that most other bands in metal can’t stand him.

And "most likely" lmao 🤣
The lack of negative comments here is commendable. Keep up the great work Justin, cheers.
I am always impressed with your thinking.
I'm anti drugs, but even I can't help believe that a lot of music wouldn't exist without them. 1990's Dance Music without ecstasy? Nope! 1980's Thrash Metal without Cocaine? Nope!. The drugs alter how people feel which alters the music that they create.
Same. I've never done drugs, but I love a lot drug assisted (induced?) music. I can't help but believe that it aids creativity... unfortunately while wrecking most everything else.
I think thrash was mainly crank fueled, not coke so much
Acid came first though. The dance scene as we understand it now began with raves fuel by acid. X didn't come along till after that.
As a musician myself.. I struggled with drugs and alcohol from my teens well into adulthood.. now sober for a few years.. and I can see how the lack of focus and being into that bubble totally fkd me over.. the years just passed and my ambition with it.. I would rather be alone in my room than with other musicians trying to make a living of it.. it did not serve me.
One period is enough.
Love those Martin Backpacers....used one as a boat paddle in Paraguay once.
I find it amazing that the one thing you picked out from this entire interview was a short segment about drugs.
Rust In Peace is amazing. One of the best albums ever recorded. The book about its making was disappointing.
I didn’t know there was a book. Who wrote it? Nevermind, I can look it up myself. But I agree, it is their most complete and consistent album. The songs, the solos, the production, the performances. Probably on par with Master Of Puppets in my opinion.
The man is a legend -- one of the progenitors of thrash and a man who says what he feels - even when his opinions are au contraire....and you've gotta admire someone who refuses to sit on the fence. His honesty and candidness are admirable.
Honesty isn’t a word normally associated with Dave Mustaine…who’s a well known bullshit merchant.
@@AxeMan2781 perhaps Chris Chantler from Metal Hammer says it better than I do,
"...and yet, his willingness to say what he wants - however incautiously worded, or unpalatable to the moral guardians of social media - is refreshing in an age when musicians daren’t deviate from platitudes for fear of causing a Twitter-storm. In addition, his often dark, dry sense of humour loses some irony in translation.

Candidness
( noun)
...the quality of being open, honest, or straightforward: "We appreciate the promptness and candidness with which the professor has addressed and apologized for his oversight."
But thank you for your attempted schooling. Much appreciated. I feel so enlightened now. 🤗
I never cared about The Darkness, but I love you as a host! My new fave channel!
Your commentary is brilliant 🤘🏿😎
Review the new August Is Falling track. Brilliant
I'm flabbergasted that #AugustisFalling hasn't been discussed yet. They've released 4 times as many albums as Megardeth.
Agreed, cannot wait to hear Justin's thoughts on AIF. Awesome pop punk band! 👍🎸
Thank you! Peace, love, happiness 🥰
I love your channel....And The Darkness is an amazing band....
"Musicians are more or less t shirt companies now" so true haha
Dave Mustain is fighting a battle he does not know about
At least one.
Trust us, labels don't want bands on the edge! They want to control you and if they can't, they don't want you! The industry is stuck and they're too afraid to take on anything unique or different but then again, do bands really want to go on labels that are going to suck them dry and tell them what they have to do with their music?
Great video dude! Appreciate your candor and wit! 🤘🏻👊🏻
I just discovered this podcast and I'm addicted. I love the insight into different songs by skilled songwriter and musician. I missed the boat on Justin's band and never considered myself a fan of the music but I absolutely love this podcast. Justin you're the man
