We actually managed to salvage the live in audio which we'd thought we'd lost (on freakin iCloud no less) and mixed it in together with the camera live audio and the backing track and got a much more authentic experience!

Hahaha.. I had one of those years ago.. My buddies on BF2 were complaining I never use my mic.. Told 'em I had my guitar and processor hooked up and jammed out some Metallica over the teamspeak to show them... "Yeah right, you're not playing that..." one of them said.. "Whaddaya want? How about Heavy metal Twinkle Twinkle Little Star? here ya go" I type in chat and let her rip.. Cleared that up. :P
I think kids shouldn't be introduced to metal, you don't want them to be murderers and thugs when they grow up do you ? Instead make them listen to classical music and early jazz, they would be gentle and cultured human beings
You have to pay for the privilege of playing a gig these days. Most metal bands off a tour would be 100's pounds out of pocket. Hey at least the clubs made money right? 😄😄😄😄
that is real talent, performing outside is real hard cause of critique and judgement of people but that dude nailed it ignoring the pressure and just continued on performing that is real TALENT!!!
If you did this on Hollywood Blvd you'd have gotten more than $17. Hell you'd probably get a headliner spot at the Viper room. I would have personally handed you a $10, not only because I love metal, but because that's a really original idea. I work in downtown LA and go to shows at least once a month in Hollywood...I've seen countless street performers. Never once seen them playing metal.
HA! Yep, that's the hard thing about playing early in the evening. Everyone is 'fashionably late', and miss out on really good bands - or really shitty ones that still deserve respect.. I'll definitely be there if you end up in town again.
Last time I was in San Francisco, I was in a lil store asking for directions and the dude who gave them to me was wearing a metal T. So we started talking and he wrote his band name on a small piece of paper...I'll be dammed it was cyborg octopus! Never looked it up lolz...the universe is funny.
4:15 The power of this crab walk alone could not be contained. They could not handle it and had to bolt. This could be the greatest most powerful crab walk ever recorded.
It does happen occasionally. I busk Metal tunes in Scotland and I have had people drop £20 notes a few times. It's people like you that make it worthwhile :)
In this world of Keshas and Drakes, the waves of metal music stunned an entire city, who was not ready for the onslaught. Vibrations of pure power cracked the cement, glass fell from the skyscrapers. Babies sprouted horns and forked tails, womens' clothing transformed into chain mail bikinis. Men grew into giants of muscle as battle-axes appeared in their hands. Dark spires erupted from the city streets. Eternal dark clouds blotted out the sun.
Dude you are so, so, so entertaining to watch. You have to be one of the most interesting guitarists I've ever seen. Can you please upload more videos of yourself just rocking out in public?
Omg, you are here too? Are you telling me you (or at least one of you) likes metal? That would be amazing! You guys have helped me a lot with your videos and if I found out were into the same music as me, that would be awesome 😍
Really nice initiative. I haven't seen any metal musician on street for my entire life and I would be intrested in hearing one for sure. Glad you've earned some cash. It might not be much but at least you've made the day for some people. Also I think that if you had played something casual metal fans know (something like Raining Blood by Slayer or Holy Wars by Megadeth), you would have earned much more. Many people wish to hear some street performances of those classics.
Honestly, i think you made more money off of your personality than you did with the metal. I love metal and all genres like it however, i'm just throwing that out there :) great work dude!! Never let the dream die. Edit: actually had me laughing out loud
If he made this money on a average/consistent basis he's making roughly 15- 30 $ an hour. People sweat their backs for 10 $ hour 🤔 ... probably make more if you don't start the general public on grindcore.
As soon as this video started I thought, "Wow. This guy is fucking good, but I bet he'll make like 17 dollars at best." Spoiler alert. 17 fucking dollars.
I would have given you a $20. I have never heard some one busking metal before. Great effort even if you only got $17, metal is is about the music, not the money.
I don't care who you are, that was good. I'm not the biggest metal fan, but as a musician I love feeling the emotion and energy a musician can channel through their instrument. That was a great example of it!!
It's weird to see all those people who shake their heads and walk away, yet I feel the emotion and understand every ounce of the chaotic drive in the growls and screams of that distorted instrument. It drives my soul and I go to it for comfort.
OK - you've blown me away with this. No shortage of metal fans (and metal bands) in Japan, but when I think of young Asians and music, I admit that my preconception is pop/EDM/hip-hop - pretty much anything but metal. Thanks for the vid.
This is how I make money as a blues musician. I honestly love it when people ask me if it's really me playing or singing. Sometimes I even tell them "no" just to mess with them. LoL.
