      Never mind Mel bloody C, Some of us are still upset about your Florence and The Machine comments.
      Your reviewing was damning with faint praise. Honestly I don’t get how you don’t get her as a song writer or vocalist:
      If someone were to maybe criticise Florence’s live performances, I’d get that’cos some of them are shite!
      I have no problem with Mel C, she’s got a pretty serious set of pipes on her but being brutally honest , she’s not in the same league as FATM.

      He might as well have asked “why do people find rockstars interesting?” And maybe he just doesn’t have a clue how RUclips and things like podcasts work…you seek channels and/or shows out because of the opinions of the people that host said shows. Some you like, some you don’t…it’s a matter of personal taste. That’s the whole point. Don’t like it? Either find one you do or find something else to do. It blows me away he’s had so many years to figure this out now and still doesn’t grasp the concept.

    I absolutely ADORE you Justin. I am so happy to have found your channel. I'm catching up on past episodes I've missed. I loved your voice back in the day , and it is STILL as amazing ,if not more so, than it was 20 years ago. I'm so glad you are taking care of yourself, it really shows! I'd love to know your opinions on Pink Floyd? As a struggling singer/songwriter , I sing in a Tribute band in Memphis, TN. and I love covering " Great Gig In the Sky" . What a fun vocal work out! You are probably one of the few men that could cover Clare Torry's vocals on that song. Thank you for not becoming that sad cliche of the rockstar who burnt himself out and wasted his talent! BRAVO JUSTIN!

    Why would someone make a rude comment about your hair?! I guess I'm missing something....your hair looks great! I so enjoy your channel. Thank you for the joy you bring me.

      Yeah that was confusing for me as well. I love his hair! Humans are mostly just terrible. Whether it’s about getting a reaction, or feeling that way about themselves and directing it at another person.. as I get older I dislike people more and more.

    Hope this isn’t a weird question… but which shops do you like to buy your clothes from? Your wardrobe is at least 20% of the reason I watch your channel 😂

    Have a great year! Looking forward to seeing this channel grow and build out. Maybe some backstage mini-interviews? Or meet the parents sorta stuff. I'd like to see a rig-rundown of your band's gear. Always interesting to hear the music industry nitty-gritty.

    Was about to say that must have been on the booze and other refreshment stage you were in at the time.. Having said that, I met you during that same period in Dubai when I photographed your gig there for the organizers, and you were a jolly nice chap.

    I will say to Russ...I watch this channel because I learn from Justin or at least laugh a lot. Justin I can't watch you before bed because I laugh so hard and then can't sleep. Keep up the great content, and I appreciate your being candid. I hear negative and positive comments and compliments when you critique someone's music.
