Well that's the best on this clusterf**k

Yknow, that internal voice.... the internal critic.... the one I have calls me a c*nt constantly, and says I'm such a c*nt that I don't deserve a fanbase, I don't deserve listens, why bother putting anything out there, no-one cares anyway....



... and then slimey fucks like this guy get to steal and develop a huge cult following.

It just does not make fucking sense.

I actually had this EXACT line of thinking yesterday, to a T, because I’m the exact same way. Every clip I’ve ever posted has come after talking myself into posting it. “Who gives a fuck?” is the loudest voice, “You’re just showing off” would be the 2nd loudest voice.

I had an unrelated conversation with my boss last week and her advice/words in that conversation carry over to this one just the same-

‘While it’s frustrating, be happy that you’re not the one that needs to learn how to do the right thing from a major life lesson that’s going to kick your ass”

If this guy is lucky, he’ll have a few thousand people that continue to not care he stole shit, they might click Like on his stuff in the future, but it’ll take him forever to make good on his name to the world it matters to the most; the guitar playing/making community.

The really crazy thing is that this dude clearly has some issues surrounding releasing original music as well and while I’d suspect it’s a devil on our shoulders telling you and I not to post stuff, it’s like his devil beat the shit out of the angel and replaced him with another devil that tells him to steal music if his isn’t good enough to post.

As much as I wished you were right pop music has shown us that it doesn’t matter.
As in… there is no bad publicity.

I mean from Vanilla Ice to Zeppelin folks rip shit off, and if they get pantsed they’ll end up settling.
And then only a few guys will hold onto the pitchforks.

Heck, how many times did Funky Drummer get sampled…


Now as for the copyright part of things…
And the regurgitating others solos.
Most of them sell their licks online right?
To me -even though it seems silly- when guys buy licks they get to regurgitate them

The whole tunes/arrangements…that’s fucked.

And again usually clowns like the Italian gelding here will get their ass straightened eventually with their sub par live stumblage.

If you have that hair; you shouldn't be wearing a backwards ballcap. Period.

As much as I have a problem with what he’s doing, that backwards cap might bother me just as much, lol.

The amount of people arguing that the people who had their music stolen were lucky to have it stolen by someone so popular is just….I hadn’t realized humanity had gone quite that far in that direction.

People nowadays are entitled assholes with little regard or concern for others, and a work ethic that would never have cut it 20 years ago. And it’s not a generational thing, either, as it engulfs a wide swath of demographics.
