Great show. Great guest. Brad is an amazing player and has a lot of experiences and stories to share. I really dig his channel. My only issue with this episode is that every time they showed the host, I felt a strong urge to want to reach through my screen and fix his hair. Just kind of mess it up a little bit. hehe. Great show, guys! I really hope that Brad's channel blows up. He is a good guy who puts out great content..so he definitely deserves it.
Awesome interview, very interesting and cool. You're a warrior bro, great story about yourself. You been there, done that paid your dues. You lived it, totally Awesome. Seasoned veteran. Those guys on X5 are good dudes, great podcast. Well done man!
You guys are right about what the majority of viewers want to see and hear when they tune into a youtube channel. Near the end of the interview, you guys were discussing Brad's discovery of figuring out that his videos did better when he limited the playing and just told true stories and shared his real-life experiences from being a working musician for several decades. You all nailed it. When I click onto a video, I don't want to hear a guy aimlessly shredding for 5 minutes..only to give a 1 minute summary and opinion of the new guitar he was supposedly demoing. If I want to hear bumblebee-like shredding, I'll go to my basement and create my own noise pollution. Most viewers who are serious players don't want to hear 5 minute musicial intros..which is usually the guy just showing off the latest technique he mastered. Less play, more talk. Real talk. True talk. We want to hear about things that we will never personally experience..and we want to hear about 'how thing USED to be'.
I knew Brad before I knew this channel but man am I ever glad I've found X5! Not only is the content great it's in my home town! Well, maybe not hometown as in where Im from but certainly where I live now. Great content guys, keep it coming and so glad I found you. EDIT: Hey fellas, you need to get out more. There is a Buc-ees in Leeds, it's been there several years. Unless you're referring to another Buc-ees?
This was awesome. Hope.you have Brad back again, man he's got so much more to share and give.. This was fantastic.. I started watching Brad 1round 1k subs And watch every upload.Daily now.. Thanks for having him.. Awesome dude... Doooooood.
Great stuff, Brad's channel popped into my world also and it quickly became a regular (just like the X5 podcast) Brad Channel has great stories, guitar stuff, and something I really didnt expect . FELLOWSHIP . Good is good , and it's worth checking out . Thanks X5 for another great one .
I was Brad's stage manager and sound mixer at Busch Gardens. Just a great guy and a monster player. Turned me on to Yngwie Malmsteen. We had some great times at the country show.
I loved listening to the Sunset Strip part of this and I'll tell you why. That 80s glam metal scene embodies all the things---danger, debauchery, irreverence, sleaze, recklessness---that music is currently missing. For the past 20, 25 years, lame commercial pop and rap has been the dominant genres in our culture. All that shit should've crashed a long time ago. Those ideals need to come back to shake things up again
Bad Brad exposes the unglamorous reality of a decades long grind in music, but against all odds, he’s still a good sport with a shaggy mop top wig, & a lifetime of stories…🎸 ”The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
