      I left a comment down on the video but thought I would leave a reply too! If you get chance and could listen to my music particularly the song 'Afterglow' your more than welcome to give it a critique positive or negative is fine either way. Ot also has a cheeky solo in it haha. Thank You.

    I love his gentile delivery of brutal but mastered musical theory honesty. Many who don’t, should know that this man is one of the best guitarists in the world. Yes, growing up in the 80s with all the great musical inspiration created from previous decades allows him to compare todays music stars to people like Rick James and INXS… as a 45 year old… I’ve rediscovered music from my childhood and now respect it with his insight.
    His Hotlegs project was my favorite!

    Hi Justin, bass player here. I found you this weekend and have been binging your videos. I really like your approach, and your "mission" to find positive things to say about stuff that's absolute rubbish. Thank you for the positivity, in a world that seems so negative. Remember, don't let the negative things live rent free your head, it's not good for your sanity.

    Justin, I'm going back through the JHRA back catalog (as it were), and one thing always bugged me about this initial (ascending) take at the theme song, but I couldn't place it. Now I have. It reminds me of the opening theme song from an American TV show back in the 70's called "All In The Family". Specifically Jean Stapleton's singing. Let's just say the new theme song for your channel is a *significant* improvement. Love ya, mate!

    It's a long time since Brian Johnson sang about it being someone's turn tonight. It's possible that some people need to remember that the world's largest-selling rock album was released in 1980 and while it does mention not struggling or fighting, it does not mention bonds and blood. The western world certainly looks very different today than it did 42 years ago and I don't think any member of the featured southern white band was alive when that album came out.
    Also, today was the first time I checked out a subReddit and the notes about touring with Method Blank are quite the cerebral feast.

    I'm very upset with myself for watching this one. 😅 If my ex husband had any musical inclination (that wasn't posturing and taking pictures of himself) he'd have been in a band like the first, but he hung out with a lot of the people who subscribed to the aesthetics of the second, and they all lived in my living room and were perversely judgmental about other peoples' music preferences.
    (Incidentally, The Darkness was banned during this time period in our home because I wasn't allowed to pick the music EVER. Honorable mentions to H.I.M., A.F.I., The Rasmus, any and all music that was in a language other than English, Coheed and Cambria, pretty much anything from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, etc because I have "trash" taste in music.)

    I watched that entire Method Blank video, and I didn't think it was possible for anything to be that awful. The second one cracked me up because it looked like Hot Topic setup a booth at the local Renaissance Festival, but it sounded like a late 90's early 00's Post-Grunge band decided to do the whitest Reggae song in history. Those videos are absolutely horrible for completely different reasons, and now those are in my head forever along with the time I made the mistake of googling "Lathe Accident" and watched the security footage of a Russian machine operator getting wrapped around it like a roll of paper towel, while human meat got flung all over the shop. That video is etched in my head, but at least there was no sound to accompany it, but thanks to you I'm NOW going to see that video and hear those lyrics.

    @CJLaw945 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Hi Justin! I have a quick question. When I was younger I was in a band that was signed to a small label and went to America twice for small tours as well as the UK. Like alot of bands we split up 2 years later. I was 17 at the time. At 20 I joined a covers band and played 6 years just about every weekend efore leaving to start a family. Now I'm 35 and looking to get back into live playing.....However....with now TH-cam being the source of any music you want and live venues seem to be harder to draw audiences in, do you think there is any real reason to create an originals band again at 35? Or the only chance now to fill pub's and clubs is to do the whole covers thing again?
    I'm not bothered about getting signed and living the rock n roll life (I'm now married with a child and mortgage), but I do want to be able to play shows where people actually turn up. Is the safest bet now at 35 to play covers? Or do you think even the older folks still have a chance with original music in live venues?
    I know its easy to say 'whatever makes you happy'...but definitely working hard and rehearsing then to play to 2 people every Saturday night would not make me happy. Haha.
    Sorry for the long winded question you probably won't even read, but would love to hear your take on the whole 'age and original band issue and also how TH-cam effects the live scene now'.
    Thanks
    Chris.
    P.s also if you ever want to react to my music I wrote a few songs last year in lockdowna nd recorded them and made videos of them on my channel. Best one is probably 'Afterglow'. Thank You.

      Dude my dad is 50 in a hard genre coverband and even they have gathered something of a following they have a blast doing what they do. It’s not so what makes you happy it’s share what you do to make others happy I say do it and give it energy ! 🤘🏻

      Im 36 and sort of followed the same path as you. I was in an originals band that had some minor success (we even recorded in Dan Hawkins' studio in Suffolk) and also played (/still playing) in covers bands.
      For me personally. In my late 20s I had a sort of personal awakening in regards to playing music.
      I love creating original music, from writing, to performing, recording, promotions - the whole lot! But it's super tough and tbf, when you're even at semi professional level, no night performing is ever the same. We'd play one night to a packed house, then the next night in a room with a one eyed dog chewing a coke can (not even a lie).
      The further we got up the ladder, the more sort of "corrupt" I saw the modern music industry was and it took a lot of the love out of it for me.
      But then i'd compare nights playing in covers bands. 9 / 10 gigs are always fun, always a great reception and guaranteed money at the end.
      So I made the decision to play covers and record originals music putting it out on my own terms. If live situations are available, then it's something to explore, but I'm not going to bust a gut to impress the soundman who will forgot me the next day.
      In regards to age - I always thought that too. Is there a certain cut off point. I don't want to be the creepy "old" dude at a pop punk show.
      Now days I play rockabilly/bluegrass/swing music that has a wider age market. But like you, I wonder if someone in there 40s can release "modern music" and make an impact...?

    Really love your content so far. Funny and informative dissection of modern pop.
    But what made your early videos great was the raw honesty. You'll always have haters on your videos. Fuck em. If they really get THAT upset about an opinion, I think they've probably got plenty other negative stuff going on in their lives

      I think you missed the point. This video is pure sarcasm from 0:00s to the very end! 🤣

    Maybe not overly interesting, but how about beach boys - hero's and villains... Something about that song always has me hooked 🤷🏻‍♀️
