Great video as always, Lonny! A lot of good tips and sage advice, if you will, in this video. Just goes to show hard work will always pay off. Where you end up, may not be what you imagined, but you will have success somewhere. Success is never a straight line either, there's always up downs, twists and turns. Be cool to see more vids like this one! It inspired me to work harder, as it has done others judging by the comment section
You sleep less. Yuuuuppppp feel this. I remember running on 4 hours of sleep a night for a year between some local gigs, working 9 to 5 and just teaching drums on the weekends before I got into circulation teaching full time. Now that I'm in a job where I can teach and take time off without stress, the next move is hustling harder on the internet like you are then finding artists to do the touring thing like you dude. The last thing I want to do is become complacent and just settle into JUST being a private teacher.
Always a huge inspiration, thanks a ton homie.
Whenever you post my day gets so much better🖤
Good for you for never giving up Lonny. These types of videos from you always inspire me to keep working hard towards my goals each day. Thank you! 🎶
Not only are you a big influence for me on bass, you are a huge influence on my life in general. I love these videos Lonny. Happy belated Birthday!!! Stay safe out there.
🖤
Happy belated birthday Lonny! When my girlfriend told me you were 30 I couldn't believe it, you don't look 30 at all!
I can't wait to see you all again in the Trinity of Terror Tour! When I saw the announcement with the line up, we got tickets right away!
It was great getting to hear your story and follow your journey to now. I admire you, your dedication, and your talent. Hope you're well, and I hope you, your family, the rest of BVB, and everyone all stays safe out there!
Thanks Xavier, see you on tour this spring! Going to be a great show. 🙏🏻
Lonny, you're already an icon to me, dude I'm 18, I'm going to college and I wanna be a software developer here in Brazil, but this video applies to every other professional area and this stuff, watching this helped me a lot with confidence and with what I should do to be a successful professional, excellent video dude
Hey Marcus, I’m really glad it’s helped you. Best of luck with all your goals and ambitions. You’ve got this! 💪🏻
You definitely have a lot of be proud of, even at your 30 years of age. You really worked your ass off to get where you are now, which inspires the hell out of me. As someone who has been trying for years to get my artwork to be successful and work towards wanting to design album cover artwork for bands, it gives me hope which is something I, and others, need that reminder now and then. And even in all the success you’ve had so far, you’ve stayed genuine and down to earth, which can be hard to find these days. We are all so proud of you! Success is always changing based on your dreams and goals, and maybe even others’ perception of what your success should look like. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from you, it’s to keep pushing forward. Or “Hold on to hope”. Amazing video as always! Not going to lie, this video brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Lonny🥺
Thanks Cassidy. Never give up, always work harder than the person next to you, and always be kind to everyone. That is the key. If you live by those rules you can never go wrong.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic those are definitely rules to live by and I have so much respect for you. I’m not going to lie when I say this video left me in tears. It really is something I needed to hear.
This is all amazing advice for anybody looking to accomplish their goals. Another fantastic video Lonny. Keep it up!
Super proud of you lonny. You've accomplished so much and I know your gonna accomplish so much more. I'm so glad BVB has you. Your my inspiration Lonny 🥰
Thank you Emma. I’m a very fortunate guy. Thanks for all your support here on the channel.
Happy belated birthday man!! I’m the old guy. Never took the chance. But since starting my channel and have people enjoy my original songs, that is more success than I ever dreamed possible! So your thoughts and comments are spot on in my opinion! Peace and continued success my friend!✌🏻🎶😎. Doug
Thanks Doug, and congrats on your channel! I’m happy to hear you’ve been releasing your music here on RUclips, that’s fantastic. Keep up the good work my friend.
You never fail to inspire, Lonny. These vlogs always force me to sit back and reflect (something I’ve been doing a lot of since I read Andy’s book back in October). I appreciate that sort of thing, though. It helps me learn.
This was an eye opener for me Lonny, me and my friends want to make a band, our worries are A. me embarrassing myself on vocals, and people not liking us, but this is just eye opening and just amazing. thank you
You’ve got this. Don’t worry about what anybody thinks. Even if you reach the level you’re striving for you’ll always have people who dislike you. That’s just a part of being in the public eye and putting your art out there. Don’t let it get to you and don’t let it effect your creative decisions.
Happy belated birthday! I had a rough time when turning 30, but they ended up being some of the best years I've had. Embrace it!
Thanks Christi, I will!
This was very enlightening, Lonny. Hope you enjoy 2022 and I can't wait to see you guys in Australia!
See you there! Got your merch order too, I’ll be shipping it out this weekend. 🤘🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic aye thank you :)
I love these types of videos because it give me inspiration to write my own music and want to make it big but also to have someone to look up to with everything that goes on in this world and also thanks for join my hero’s in leather Lonny
Glad you enjoyed this type of video Megan! I’ll try and make more in this style. 👍🏻😊
@@LonnyEagletonMusic ☺️ I smiled so much watching this that my face hurt
im glad to be watching a video i was missing lonny content, i hope you're doing well lonny
I'm doing great! Thanks for checking out the new video. Happy new year!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic happy new year to you too, and a happy birthday thats a bit late but its okay
Dude I freaking love your content and your TOUR VLOGS! Totally brings back the old days of when Jake pitts would do his! Plz ask him why he didn’t do them this tour! Get him to join you! Rock on man
Thanks so much Brandon! I’ll be making lots more on the upcoming spring tour this March. Glad you like them.
And yeah I used to watch Jake’s back in the day too. So good! Perhaps he’ll make more sometime but these days his social media focus is primarily live-streaming through Twitch.
Happy birthday, I cannot believe that you are 30 and every one of the BVB army is super proud of you!!! People can be mean and not show respect but all you need to do is forget about them and think about the people who care about you. We love you and happy new years.💘💘💝💝💖💖💓💓💗💗💞💞💕💕💟💟
Hey, @LonnyEagleton! Happy New Year & happy 30th birthday! 30 is the new 20! 😊 Here's to another 100 years! 🤗💖✝️
Angel and I wish you a Happy 30th Birthday from Cincinnati, Ohio! You are an awesome inspiration to young kids on following their dreams but also the hard work that goes with that. Congratulations on being such an awesome person and sharing your gift with all of us both young and old!! God Bless! Embrace life! It is really beautiful. 🤗🙏
Glad to see another video from you, I'm an aspiring musician and your videos always inspire me to keep going :D
Awesome vid man! Honest and humble. I'm honoured to be making music with you man :)
Likewise Greg! Always a pleasure!
This guy conquered everything with his dedication and didn't give up! I'm happy to follow your work, and lucky to hear these words that tell the real story of a person who set a goal in musical life, and is conquering them every time he takes the stage! This is also my dream and I want to follow it. I'll remember this video as inspiration and take advantage of every opportunity, and make the best of me, because it's not easy, and I want and I will 🖤🖤 thank you Lonny, and success always you deserve!❤
🙏🏻
Congratulations Lonny, this is so great. Hard work and commitment. Your guitar playing is amazing.
Thank you for sharing your life and stories with us! I love BVB! Not only is your band one of incredible talent and showmanship, you all are fantastic people as well!
You have great wisdom Lonny. Someone asked me what my goals were and I didn't know. I feel that I have done nothing. No job no career. You made me see that I don't need to reach the top to feel successful. I think my purpose in life is just to make everybody happy and healthy and be the best person they can be! And you made me see that this is ok! Nice touch with the Harry Potter owl!
Definitely. Success is a sliding scale and spiritual fulfillment comes in many ways and forms.
you are an inspiration to many lonny, you have taught us that dreams come true if we work on them, and that if we fail we learn from that !!
This was amazing Lonny! So proud of you. I still remember the days we would just laugh and laugh. Also happy 30th!! Xo
As do I! Miss you so much!! 💛
Thank you so much for everything that you said, it's very very important to me! 😊
Thanks for sharing this with all of us Lonny! All your hard work and dedication pays off and you should be so proud of yourself! See you back on the road in April with BVB!! Looking forward to more tour blogs then!!
i dig the transitions and different backgrounds, good and well made video as always
Thanks! I actually just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Pro. This was my first edit using the new software and I think it came together well.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic totally, it looks awesome!
This has cheered me up seeing the notification for this video you inspire me so much Lonny you are my idol and I cannot thank you enough for cheering me up and posting videos that just make me smile 😊. Happy new year Lonny all the best my friend
You’re the best Megan. Thanks so much for this. Happy new year!
What you say feels so true ^^ It's a nice 30th birthday when you can tell yourself that you've acomplished what you wanted to. It makes the fact to get older positive, cause you've already done a lot, and you just can do even better, because you still have a long way to go (not like what we think when we're just 17 XD)
😆the dog so funny making it's own life behind you
Such a wonderful video to inspire all and a wonderful insight. Wishing you both a safe and happy new year, look forward to seeing you tour later in the year. ❤ 🤘
See you then David! Thanks man!
I love this video so much!! The advice is spot on!!
Thanks Matt! 🙏🏻🎶
Truly awesome back story on your journey and very inspiring you are very amazing at what you do an this career was definitely meant for you I hope I get to see you and the guys again in Birmingham AL this year....an the bracelet you have me at the New Orleans Show last year I still wear it everyday 😊❤🤘
😊🙏🏻
Early again!! so excited to watch another video from you!!!🖤🤘
thank you for this video Lonny!!
Always take your advice to heart brotha. Videos like this are always super motivating 🤘🤘🤘
You’ve got a great work ethic and an outstanding attitude towards music Danny. Keep doing what you’re doing man!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic that means the world coming from you brotha! Stoked for what the future holds 🤘
Glad to hear from you Lonny! I loved hearing more of your story! Thank you for sharing your journey and insight. I’m looking forward to seeing you on tour! P.S Mila digging in the couch is so cute😂😂
Thanks Samantha! See you on tour this spring. Going to be a good one! 🤘🏻
Such an inspiring video, thank you so much for doing this, your words gives so much strength!!! And Mila is so breathtaking cutieeee 😁
Happy New Year and Happy belated Birthday Lonny!!! 😁
Thanks Tiina, I’ll let Mila know you said this. 🐶💙
Happy 30 Lonny! I'm so happy that you've worked hard to make your dreams come true! You're a huge inspiration to myself and so many! You've really got me back interested into learning more guitar and music related stuff this year, as school had me very busy for the last 2 years. Today I finally learned the rhythm guitar part to In The End! I've been wanting to play it since I was 14 but didn't know guitar well enough at the time. So thank you Lonny for being so amazing and talented! Love hearing your stories!
That’s a really fun song to play on guitar! Glad to hear it’s in your repertoire now. Awesome! 🎸🤘🏻
I love this video. You definitely deserve all the success you have earned. You work hard, are super skilled and talented, and you have amazing personality.
Also loved you touching on different types of success. There are so many type of musicians out there and type of life people want is different for everyone. I know there are Renaissance faire preformers and preformers like that where success can be just playing at big fairs. And they are happy with what they do. One of the main ones I know and love is Alexander James Adams. And then there are other types of musicians also. And I love it. ❤️🥰
Also awww Mila hi Mila 🥰
Exactly! Success is a moving scale and comes in many forms. It is different for everyone. It all depends on the type of lifestyle you want. 😊
Good video 👍👍♥️
Thank you for this video! Personally I'm not going into music, but I do want to be a pro rodeo athlete, and I think this kinda applies to all fields. I really like the not having a Plan B. It makes sense to me, because I've caught myself trying to fall back on what I'd do if I don't make it. This also inspired me to get out and talk more. I've always had trouble with that, but I know I need to make connections. Thank you so much!
Hi Hazel, I’m happy to hear you’ve found inspiration in this. You’re right, it can be applied to all fields. It sounds like you have lots of focus on your goals ahead and I wish you the best of luck. Literally anything is possible, so just keep working hard and I’m sure you’ll do great. 🙏🏻
Love watching your videos! Happy late birthday, welcome to the wonderful world of your 30s (I only get to be here for one more month lol). You are inspiring! Way to never give up and pursue your passion!
Thanks so much! 30 feels good! I’m taking it in stride. 😊💛
Estoy muy orgullosa de ti, me encanta que seas una persona honesta, eres muy agradable, te quiero mucho Lonny ✨
Haha you're a baby still. Enjoy it!!! Lol at teen you... so cute! Yep, talent, hard work and passion. Being a genuinely nice dude helps a ton! We appreciate you Lonny! 🙏 ❤
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉
Congratulations to you For your Success and Happy Belated Birthday! Great Video again. As a person who's been working in a Hospital this entire Pandemic, recently seeing you guys in New Orleans, and seeing your videos since you've really sparked my Work Ethic so much further in getting my Music back on Track. Appreciate your Videos Man. Helps me anyway keep My Dreams of Music Success going. And I'm pretty Determined despite this Pandemic to get where I want to Be. Happy New Year!
Glad to hear this Alex. Thanks for watching the channel and best of luck with your music!
Great video Lonny, you’re an amazing artist and teacher!!!
Thanks Leslie!
Hello, happy birthday, happy new years and anything else to be happy about! But I really love your story, I also want to be a musician, and I recently got permission from the orchestra teacher at my school to use her violin amp for my guitar and play during lunch. (Just thought it was cool connection) but I'm pretty young and love the guitar, I practice every day, and from commenting this I have a show on Saturday, nowhere big just a bar, but I'm very excited! Honestly, what you were saying about the career I what to either be a successful musician or a producer (or both, not complaining) But just wanted to say thank you, and your videos make me want to play more! 🤘🏻
That’s so awesome!! Best of luck with your show this Saturday! Rock it! 🤘🏻🎶
Really interesting and inspiring. I really liked the bit about doing lots of hustles and also being persistent and focused as you'll get there eventually 💪
Thanks for checking out the video. And yeah that’s the truth about today’s music industry, you sort of have to be able to do multiple skills in order to make it happen. There’s enough work to go around, you just have to dip your talent into multiple ponds.
HELL YEAH YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!!
Happy new year Lonny! 🤘
Awesome video! Happy belated birthday buddy! ❤️🎶
Thanks Conroy! Happy new year brother!
Im sorry did you say OLD? No way Lonny no way! The first time I ever saw one of your pictures last year I told myself “this guy’s probably 23/24” you look SO young! Also little side story from me: My dream career to this day has always been to be come a pediatric nurse mainly because that was my life growing up I had a lot of health struggles I’m happy to say now as I’m almost 20 I can actually live a normal life now and I haven’t had any struggles since 2017 and seeing how those nurses worked it sparked a dream in me I’ve always had I’m trying to continue education to pursue that dream and I’m really hoping that one day I can finally live that dream, anyway enough of talking about me. Your story is incredible I loved hearing it so happy to see how far you have come especially now that you’re apart of BVB it’s so crazy to even think about that you went from being in the BVB army to now being actually in BVB I absolutely love seeing you play you fit in so well!! Love you Lonny can’t wait to see more videos in the future!!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks for your comment Katherine. I wish you the best of luck towards your goals. 🙏🏻💙
Amazing video Lonny, everything you said matches with what I want for my music and career in acting. I met you at the hard rock hotel on 11/19/21 I told you that one day my dream is to perform with you and BVB one day and Jinxx told me that if I work really hard it could happen. Your success is well deserved my friend and I’m really glad I met you and the gang again. 🤟🏽
It was great meeting you, and yes it can definitely happen. Apply the work ethic I described in this video and you’ll be on the right track. Follow the paths of those who are doing what you currently want to do, and work towards it every single day. No days off. You got this!
Hi Lonny! I loved this video, and all the things you said about the backup plan really applies to what I'm going through right now. I commented here before about how I wanted to pursue music, and my teachers force me to try and create this backup plan.... But I don't want to have a backup plan, I WILL pursue music and I WILL make it, and your videos really encourage me to follow my dreams! Maybe one day I'll be rocking onstage with you! Thank you for inspiring me!!
Work hard everyday and never lose focus. It’s a tough road but you can do it!
Happy birthday dude
Thank you so much for making this video! As someone who has a pretty strong interest in having some sort of career in art; music or otherwise, but isn’t too well versed in the possibilities or where to start, stuff like this is really helpful so that we can learn from people like you who had similar dreams and aspirations and were able to accomplish them. You’re one of my biggest artistic inspirations and seeing your journey is definitely a valuable lesson, it’s really cool to see how much people have been able to achieve :)
By the chance that you do happen to see this, I also had a question- when you started bass, how exactly did you start your learning process? Was there any sort of method you used to learn (like did you focus on things like scales and theory first or did you start right off with learning how to play bass lines and whatnot?) I recently started playing bass but I’m having struggles finding a defined place to start in comparison to my other instruments, so if you have any advice that’d be great
Edit: And happy belated birthday!!
Amanda, I’m glad this video was helpful to you! Regarding starting bass, I find the best place to begin is to simply learn as many riffs as you can. This will make sure that you’re having fun right off the bat with the instrument, and also developing your finger movements. Start with Iron Man, Seven Nation Army, Dazed & Confused, Money, then take things from there. Once you have a good catalogue of riff repertoire, then start learning some scales and such to accompany that. There are many great instruction channels here on RUclips that can help guide you. Or if you have the budget, private lessons are great too!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic That’s good to know- I’ll get started right away on trying to find some more riffs to learn. Thanks!
Hey Lonny amazing video as always! I honestly just want to actually take the time and thank you for this video! Obviously as you know me being in college and working to make my dreams a reality be able to get this amazing advice from someone I look up to so much is really amazing! I can definitely agree with you on taking every opportunity you can get! This last semester I took a Material Science Engineering class as a part of my Mechanical Engineering degree! And I realized 2 things going into that class! Th first thing was that I am actually very interested in Material Science engineering in general but also that this engineering field works heavily in the Aerospace engineering field which is my plan and my dream is to be an Aerospace Engineer working to launch rockets to space! So through taking that class and keeping an open mind I actually found a part of myself that I never would have known existed so I am actually going to be double majoring in Material Science Engineering to give myself that much more of a push to make my dream happen! Also along side of it I am a part of the Microgravity Team class here at Boise and one of our teachers is a NASA astronaut and we right towards the end of last semester we’re actually 1 of the very few universities chosen by NASA to be a part of Project Artemis so we will be going to Huston to their facility this summer to test our device and if I hadn’t explained to my counselor that I want to be an Aerospace Engineer I would have never known about this class and be given this amazing opportunity to be a part of something huge and get the hall rolling with connections with Aerospace companies! Furthermore for the music side of my life I am currently working really hard and putting in a ton of practice to be able to knock my Audition for the Blue Thunder marching band out of the park this time! I also on Monday during my private lesson was talking with my teacher and she invited me to be a part of the trombone choir starting tomorrow for this semester so I am so excited to take on this new challenge and be able to play in a beautiful group with just other trombonists who are so amazing and talented! I also have an unfortunate update about my tour vlog as soon as I arrived and had just gotten my luggage at the air port in Boise on Monday (since we were leaving on the bus at 3 am on Tuesday to head out) I got an email from my directors that our team had to pull out of the bull game because of Covid reasons! So I was really disheartened and disappointed and so am not going to be posting a tour vlog since nothing really happened but yeah that is the update on that. But anyways I completely agree with you the one thing my parents have told me and continue to tell me is things happen for a reason! And everything that has happened for me so far I can say looking back that it is definitely true! Great job again and happy birthday again I hope you are doing well! You are the best!!!
And I now have an update Lonny!!!! So after sitting in on tonight’s rehearsal! I am officially a part of the Trombone choir!!!! I am now the only non music major or minor in both my brass studio class as a part of private lessons and now trombone choir! I guess you could definitely say I am taking your words of grabbing on to every opportunity and it being able to take you far in life extremely seriously! I couldn’t be happier and prouder of myself for becoming the musician I am now and how far I have even come within a semester of school!!! Thanks again Lonny for always inspiring me and supporting me with everything I really don’t know where I would be right now without you!
love this ❤️
🖤
Great video Lonny!! I think it would be great for you to talk about how you joined BVB. I don't know if you talked about this before but it would be a great idea in my opinion!!😀😀
That would definitely make for an interesting video, I’ll keep that one on file. Thanks for the idea!
I am currently going to school for Music. I am technically going to be a choir director, but I am also being taught vocally and instrumentally. I already have a bit of background in both choir and band, and I would absolutely love to be a performing artist. Performing on a stage in front of people who actually want to see me has been a dream of mine since like early elementary school.
That’s awesome Katelyn! I took a choir conducting class in school and it was a lot of fun. I’m sure you’ll be great at it!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Thank you!! I can't wait to see you and the band in March :)
Its my birthday today. (Jan 17 :)) Happy Belated Birthday Lonny!
Happy birthday Erik!! 🥳
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Thanks :)
@@liskaerik you got it! 🤘🏻
Capricorns rule! 🎶🤗🎶
I’m switching from knowing a decent bit of guitar to purchasing my first bass. Your videos are inspiring. A lot more single notes in bass which is easier now slapping techniques is something foreign to me. Bvb is a lot of bass that I follow to cover. Great speed and doesn’t get too crazy. Super humble though man I live in va beach I’ll be at the concert in Norfolk in April I got tickets as long as I’m not deployed I’ll be there. 🤘🏻
Hey Jonathan, thanks for your comment and for checking out the videos! Means a lot. Best of luck with the bass and looking forward to hopefully seeing you in Norfolk. 🤘🏻
Canadian winter is beating my ass it's literally -22 out! Also im currently going through the whole moved to a place where i dont know anyone and i dont know how to meet people
Any body watch Simon Lizotte (disc golf) videos? He and Lonny could be brothers. At least as far as their mannerisms, their voices and put a black wig on Simon and they could also look a lot alike. Anyway, just came across Lonny’s video’s and really liking them so far. He seems super humble and chill.
Hi Lonny great video as always and your looking good at 30
Thanks Jane! Cheers! 🙏🏻😊
Here early love ya lonny so happy for another video 📹 ❤ also so excited to see you on the next tour I bought Jake's vest and I'll see you that way too and to give you your gift I got you
See you on tour this spring Heather. Excited to play for you!!
HAPPYY B DAAYY FRIEENDD my b day is feb 9th
Yo loving the new hairstyle bro
Thanks man! Trying to grow it out for the next tour.
Ya im trying to grow mine out as well
Oh Lonny, have you seen the Hired Gun documentary on RUclips? Totally made me think of you!!
I have! I really enjoyed it. A very accurate representation and super relatable for me.
Hay Lonny, it's me again... With another question on how to play fields of bone.
I have the bass tabs from your play through version but I just can't seem to play the 9-11-12 11-12-14 12-14-16, without my pinkie being in agony when I reach the 16th fret. I'm too stubborn to quit playing this song but even when I have the correct hand placements, it hurts. A lot.
I have been keeping it slow and gently picking up the pace but it doesn't seem to be helping.
What do you suggest I do? I'm applying to a music composition course in college soon too, and I think fields of bone would really help to get me in. Please help me man 😢

Hey, Bilibili Comics here. We genuinely love your works. Any thoughts about RUclips's collaboration? There's contact on my header or about section if there's anything on your mind. See you later.
First step, don't live in south america lol
good video xD
Don't say "you're old" Lonny, cause I'm a few years older than you and you make me feel like a mummy 😜
