It's funny... Misha has talked about "how" to be a musician in the current world a few times now. The guy actually changed my perspective on what I was doing with my life. I had to assess what was important to my happiness. I stopped wasting my time with other musicians that don't have the drive, fortitude, or vision that I do. A liot of people seem to lose track of what's important: the music! I've got a family, a house, a better job, and a better attitude about everything. I'm working on building my home studio and developing recording skills, so I don't have to be reliant upon anyone for actually accomplishing goals. It's a competitive and saturated industry and I realize the statistics of not being commercial successful, but if all I do is create music that represents what I want to hear; I'm ok with that.💯 Best wishes to u guys...and sorry about the rant...lol Just wanted to let u know that some of us are paying attention to the advice of experienced musicians.
@Michael Lochlann We definitely think alike then.... If I go too long without playing or writing; I feel like I'm dying inside. It's something that's innate to me... Even with the limited amount of time I have between work and home life right now; I find myself writing lyrics when I can't play guitar.
Hearing Misha's thoughts really helps me understand why he gave me the answer to a question I asked him a couple of years ago. I asked him about learning to play a 7 string. How I could go about it. And he simply said, just mess around and have fun.
Hah, it's fun hearing Misha talk about the old days! I was on a bunch of forums, say, fifteen years ago and when Bulb posted some of his Line 6 patches I snagged them as quick as I could! My virtual tone with all my new NDSP stuff is still pretty much the same: Boosted 5150, V30 4x12, SM 57. It's still my favorite. Love the car talk, too! I used to turn wrenches through the late 80s into the mid 00s, but now I'm an English and History teacher. My wife never gets too stressed over another guitar purchase because she knows it's still cheaper than a weekend of racing. And I totally agree about car gear & music gear being a pretty similar thing; it's all about the parts.
I quit guitar in 2001 and got into cars and drag racing until about 2011. I experienced the same burnout (no pun intended) with the quest for better and better times at the track. Picked the guitar back up in 2016.
Good for you. I just play for fun. I'm I made money of of it I would hate it at this point. But I can get a little obsessed with being the best at what I do.i hope it's fun for you now.
This was such a good interview. I can relate to so much that was talked about. You really should have Misha back on and go more in depth with the car stuff, and more.
Let’s have this go full circle and get Fluff on The Smoking Tire! I know Fluff is a car guy and Farah also likes music too! The TST episodes with Misha are always fun
One way the two worlds of Music and Cars can mix is to really go hard on a CAR AUDIO SYSTEM. If you can afford it, that is. There's nothing like having a clean and powerful system blaring a Djentleman's mix as he drives down a scenic biway.
I can totally relate. I think my 20+ years as a mecanic has lead me to liking music in a different way than others. I would work on cars, build race cars, program the cars computer for max performance. Now it translates to music. I like playing but I much prefer changing my rig every other week. Building a rack setup and wiring it all up, then programming sounds and getting MIDI setup. Having it all in a snake in a loom. It all relates. Great chat.
It wasn't crazy to export stuff out of Reason, and into Cubase, etc........ At that time......it was amazing that you could get a computer app to program your drums for you. It was just the process that you needed to do to make music. Compared to today..........yeah totally different.
I think the most inspirational thing about Bulb "Misha" Mansoor is how he formed Periphery around his own self-produced music. I'm tryna do the very same thing. Really wanna hear him go in-depth on what that whole process was like.
It's been awhile since I've watched this video but I'm pretty sure Misha talks for a while about how he got started and all that, it's a fun listen. ruclips.net/video/2_rG9e-lYtw/видео.html
Misha is so good at articulating his understanding through himself and his music. Fantastic.
One of the wisest musicians/businessmen on youtube.

I first learned about Misha (Bulb) from the Line6 Pod forums. Amazing demos, I still have them downloaded and listen to them every once and awhile.
Damn
His early stuff is crazy good. I found some of his demos from '06-'10 or so, and even back then he was on the level. Great stuff!
I was in the studio with Mike Malyan last Monday, and yeah. He’s a beast. Filming 4 feet away with ear defenders on STILL getting a pounding!

Dude you are a good host for a podcast...great questions and stable mood
My first word was car. My first sentence was look at the car. I feel you and I understand you
I love that Misha did an interview with Kohlekeller Studio last week about the same drum course and they are completely different conversations.

As a mechanic I TOTALLY relate!!! I LOVE having music as my hobby!
advancements in music tech affecting real life approaches to instruments is so cool
First Tremonti now Misha!!! Love these artist vids!!!

Great interview. Thank you.
Awsome just an excellent interview.
Nice shirt !! I saw END in Brooklyn recently
Yes yes yes!!!🔥🔥🔥
Sprayed with fear from day one! -Misha a champ for that one.
I'd be interested in finding out what personality types these guys are. Knowing that has explained why I care about the "why" so much.
Compression alone makes drums come across larger than life
