"Buckle your seatbelts, it's about to get stupid in here" EXACTLY this moment, our drummer came into the room and had no idea why we cracked up. Say what you want, but his timing is impeccable, he sure knows when to come in.
me, at work monday morning: im just gonna drink coffee and browse the web because i don't feel like doing anything rn glenn: I've made something just for you
This was brilliant, sorry for being the illiterate Winnipeger lol, but the fact that you had a bunch of TH-camrs check it out, all of em I’m fans of, absolutely killed me.
I did an internship at a small studio in Hollywood in 1997. This guy was a rock drummer in the 70s, was a total booze and cocaine addict, and is now an AA and Baby Jesus addict, which is equally annoying. I won't out his studio or full name, but his first name is Jimmy and he's totally into himself. My project was the first to record at his studio when he converted from 2" 24-track tape to Pro Tools. He didn't really know computers, so I helped out along the way. We got a slight tracking discount while he paid a consultant $100 per hour to teach him Pro Tools quickly. Anyway, after my project was done, he starts telling me that I'm "really too old to be drumming live anymore." I was 32 years old. He's 13 years older than me and is still drumming, so I figured he was telling me this in an attempt to lower my self-esteem. "Get out of the way so the kids can rock out." Yea, right. His deal was this: Help me around the studio for a few months and I'll give you 8 hours of FREE recording time. It sounded good to me at the time, because I knew what he could do in 8 hours. He does have some talent. When it came time for me to claim my 8 hours, he began to hem, haw, and whine about how "that's giving up money," and he'd not do a good job on my project because he'd constantly be keeping an eye on the phone for paying clients. I say fine, fuck it, and call it an experience. He calls me one early evening around 6pm and tells me that he's got time to record. I tell him that I have Bronchitis and can't sing. He tells me that I can "power through it," and pushes me to go there. We start out, fine enough. He's laying out the song, I do a scratch track with a click, and he's programming drums on his Linn 9000. Four hours in, and all of a sudden the Linn locks up. He says that he NEVER ONCE SAVED any of his work. The CMOS needs a new battery. You know, things that aren't my problem. He sweats over it for an hour before accepting that all is lost and he'll have to start over. He rushes it, and gives me a tape. None of the tracks were in sync, and it was TOTAL FUCKING GARBAGE. If you're recording in Hollywood, and you go to a small studio that is run by a drummer who doesn't record live drums, he's got an in-ground pool, his house is in the same fenced area, and he talks about Jesus A LOT, do yourself a favor and run as far as you can from this fucking ego maniac. He won't read this, because he won't be watching your channel. The reason he's not watching your channel is because you are not him. He literally cares about nobody but himself, to the point that it's terrifying.
Instead of talking about Jesus he should be reading what Jesus taught and applying it to himself. Perhaps then he wouldn't be as self-absorbed as you said he is/was.
@ Mitchell Thornton truck driver as well, youtube is a real bitch with those ads though and skipping them is a hassle while driving. "Vanced Kit" is an app or something that is basically youtube without the ads. you can get it on the app store, idk what it is exactly but it works, maybe that'l help you or someone else out there who might read this.
@@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur just pay for premium, only thing that sucks are youtubers with inbedded ads in the actual video. But those are usually shorter or done in a more engaging manner. But a double tap on the right side of the screen usually fast forwards through most of those if you come across them
I love the honesty here. Also love that it's so painfully clear that you've seen so much *BS* throughout the years that you've learned to spot it and shut it down instantly. That's a skill worth noting tbh. People always expect the world, for free, while not putting in any effort themselves. It's bizarre.
the Gibson Custom Shop only opened in 93' But "he knows more about vintage guitars than you d00d" BTW absolutely sick you included Robert from Robert's Guitar Dungeon in the video, his channel is the definition of criminally underrated
6:08 I'm stealing this sound clip to add to my cell phone so every time I'm in public and see a spoiled rotten brat I can just randomly have you call them an "entitled little shit." lol
I'm stealing 1:35 to use when one of my company’s customers tries to get a free set of cushions after they’ve bought a $3,000 outdoor sectional; seriously, that happens every day!
Pete and Fluff's reactions are just too goddam accurate. If anything I would have to ask 66Samus to fart in my face until I either blacked out, or choked to death. Either way, it'd be worth it.
Had to re watch Gibson reactions as they made me hit histericalsl in the laughter department class and a little bit of wee escaped 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂 THANK YOU GLENN🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Ya know Glenn, Frank Zappa said that hydrogen, I seem to remember, was the most plentyfull element in the universe. His argument was that stupidity was even MORE plentiful. I believe you would, as I do, tend to agree with that sentiment. Anyway I do love those Kalis! Thanks for the fun content!
It's not an internship if you just make someone do the work from home without tutoring them. Haha, the last guy could've been in the crazy reverb listings episode.
"You penny pinching contemptible scumbag!" HAHAHAHAHAH I am using that. I literally laughed out. It's a damn good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee.
This reminds me of a weird contract which was offered to me as a graphic designer that basically went into nothing because of how stupid-ass it was. Basically, a guy who own a Role-Playing forum website wanted a sort of intro video for his forum website. He had an idea and asked me if it was possible. Good initial idea and I knew I could produce it well so I asked references for the characters in the video as they had to be characters made by long-time users of the forum. The stuff he sent me was basically edited design sketches or pure rip-off taken from existing video games, manga and anime with well known franchises. The edits were basically color swapping or adding some details tools/hat/decoration here and there and a few visual FX and filter added onto it. I was like "I can't do it for any of the characters that has design made for an existing IP that has nothing to do with the forum." Out of the bunch of character, only 1 was original, but its visual quality was basically like what you would see out of a 18 years old flash animation with almost no shading nor proportions so making a video of it would be most likely a nightmare. The guy complained that I could just do it even if those are based on existing IPs. I was like "Ok, I'll do it... for 8,000 CAD since I got nothing to work with and I can't ever tell anyone I made it publicly as a business ever." He never replied.
Can't stop laughing at the one with the 15 year old bassist who can't figure out his copy of a free OD plug-in 🤣 how you gonna sue someone because you're incompetent?
Thanks Glenn. I am trying Reaper and I prefer it than Ableton Live. I really wish I would live in the USA and record my music in your studio, with all the swearing and yelling included. You’re the best!
Hi, Glenn. I recently came across your TH-cam channel and subscribed - I LOVE IT! I'm working my way through your past videos. I really appreciate your candor and no-holds-barred approach at dishing out your expertise in such an entertaining way. I used to be a hard rock/metal guy in high school/college days, but these days I'm an acoustic folk/blues singer-songwriter type guitarist up here in Canada, and yes, a frequent bass player, recording and live. LOVE your bass-player bashing videos - keep 'em coming! Stay safe and be well!
I take a break anytime a new video pops up from you. Most of the time laughing because your as insane as any of us! That breath of fresh air that I am not alone in the world of crazy! Today's was extra special had my wife sit in an listen she said your rants remind her of me when I get going. LOL! Whether educational or not I love the videos and the humor and insight. Good job look forward to the next one! :]
I do photography and last summer I had a client not bother downloading the files from Dropbox once I had finished editing & uploading. And yes, she had the link sent immediately so she could see the results. Months go by and I get a text saying she's going to call the police because the files weren't there anymore (since periodically I have to delete stuff to create room for other clients). That's a surefire way to get someone pissed off at you rather than politely asking for them to be reuploaded. Anyhow, I decided to not make an issue of it and reuploaded. It took her FIVE weeks afterwards to finally download them.
That last text kind of reminds me of my father. He has a vintage 62 Fender Jazzmaster that he got second hand, but in 1962. He played that thing as a working musician for 40 years. Near the end, the finish was so badly worn the wood was nearly exposed in some spots. Everyone told him to leave it alone, because it is worth a bunch. But, he didn’t care about its value. He wasn’t ever going to sell it. But, he still wanted it to look decent. So, he resprayed it black. I use it now. And, I would really like it to be original colors again. So, since value is no longer associated with it, I do plan on having it stained its original colors again.
Ahh...the good old "Experience and Exposure" trope. It will always exist. I gave it a go once or twice and I got a few 'experiences' for sure...and I sure got 'exposed' to some dead end bullshit.
Reminds me of the last, and I mean the VERY LAST TIME that I volunteered to engineer, mix & master my last (possibly last) band's CD: "Is it done yet? IS IT DONE YET? I liked my vocal take when I did it and we all agreed it was a keeper BUT I NEED TO DO IT OVER BECAUSE REASONS. Oh, and I need to do a bunch of other stuff over BECAUSE REASONS". Seemingly it never occurred to this guy that I was doing a bunch of work for, well, free. The concept that because it's UNPAID WORK it's like fifth in line, after PAID WORK, LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK, FOOD & SLEEP... Thanks for the comedy relief, dude.
That Luke dude who got ghosted by his engineer, I don’t think he was actually sharing the Nail the Mix tracks, I think he was just showing an example of what he was asking the engineer to do. Or not, you probably had a better view than the thumbnail.
1985 Gibson: The early to mid-80's Gibsons had a lacquer which, after about 10 years, started turning back into liquid. Sometimes refinishing them is the only option and no seller will tell you this directly however there is no excuse for the featured seller's arrogance!
That last one hurt my soul man. I mean I've had a couple modded vintage guitars, and I knew they weren't worth near what they would have been if they had been left alone, but they were also being used frequently, because I'm not into buying a display guitar, they were made to be played. When I sold them off, I didn't charge vintage collection value, I just asked a reasonable price for the models in question. They had been played hard, used frequently, repaired and modded at times. So their value as a vintage guitar was zero.
Damn it. Caught by Glenn, speaking the truth at me only :08 into the video. Sure, I have productive important things I'm working on this morning, but escaping the gravitational pull of this entertaining and educational rabbit hole I've fallen into is proving to be a challenge. Equally challenging, the skills required not to irrigate my sinuses and nostrils with hot black coffee while trying not to spit it out from laughter when seeing the "Jedi Priest" shirt. Thank you for all of the excellent information, and for very possibly being my spirit animal.
I’ll just point out how amazing Kali is. I have the LP8s and they sound fucking fan-tastic. The dip switches on the back (that let you change where in the room they sit without busting your balls trying to refit your room into a dedicated studio space) work seriously well. I kind of want Kali to make some hifi-oriented gear that’s easier to connect via Bluetooth or has some sort of a built in DAC streamer. Because they sound that good. I’d pay the money for that product if it existed.
Cheers Glenn (it's 2 pm here, so yes, I actually cracked a beer which is a little bit late for a German) 😁🍺 Great video, I was at the very edge to spit some beer on the monitor laughing. I just figured out that Thomann has the Kali Audio stuff also, so I'll give it a try in the near future.
I'm a freelance working from home, so at least no one will complain... But I do my best to avoid watching these until I'm on a break. This time it was very hard, but I managed to wait 1h to watch it! Stupid Musician Texts is my favorite content in this channel. It's what brought me here one year ago, in the first place.
Lol I was waiting for Trogly to show up in that last one. I’d love to see Glenn talk Gibson with him, the difference in opinion there would be... uh... vast. 😂

That TSE plug-in is flawless. I call operator error.
Most likely he wasn't facing his monitors the same way.
Lmfao love your videos Glenn 😂
Great episode! I really like the new intro for the show as well!
That last one hurt my soul man. I mean I've had a couple modded vintage guitars, and I knew they weren't worth near what they would have been if they had been left alone, but they were also being used frequently, because I'm not into buying a display guitar, they were made to be played. When I sold them off, I didn't charge vintage collection value, I just asked a reasonable price for the models in question. They had been played hard, used frequently, repaired and modded at times. So their value as a vintage guitar was zero.
Listening through my LP6's that you recommended. I promise I'll track some guitar when this vid is over
"This is not a paid gig, but you will get royalties and credits"🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved this, I really enjoy the way you pronounce don't when they forget to an apostrophe haha.
Yessss finally new stupid musician texts. My day has been made 🥴😌
This is the best way to relax after a long day in school!
You just know that dude is definitely going to put "brand new" in the listing for the guitar.
Damn it. Caught by Glenn, speaking the truth at me only :08 into the video. Sure, I have productive important things I'm working on this morning, but escaping the gravitational pull of this entertaining and educational rabbit hole I've fallen into is proving to be a challenge. Equally challenging, the skills required not to irrigate my sinuses and nostrils with hot black coffee while trying not to spit it out from laughter when seeing the "Jedi Priest" shirt. Thank you for all of the excellent information, and for very possibly being my spirit animal.
I’ll just point out how amazing Kali is. I have the LP8s and they sound fucking fan-tastic. The dip switches on the back (that let you change where in the room they sit without busting your balls trying to refit your room into a dedicated studio space) work seriously well.
I kind of want Kali to make some hifi-oriented gear that’s easier to connect via Bluetooth or has some sort of a built in DAC streamer. Because they sound that good. I’d pay the money for that product if it existed.
Cheers Glenn (it's 2 pm here, so yes, I actually cracked a beer which is a little bit late for a German) 😁🍺 Great video, I was at the very edge to spit some beer on the monitor laughing. I just figured out that Thomann has the Kali Audio stuff also, so I'll give it a try in the near future.
I'm a freelance working from home, so at least no one will complain... But I do my best to avoid watching these until I'm on a break. This time it was very hard, but I managed to wait 1h to watch it! Stupid Musician Texts is my favorite content in this channel. It's what brought me here one year ago, in the first place.
This is why I subbed to this channel, and it's why I stay subbed :)
Ah I missed this, yay it's back.
Lol I was waiting for Trogly to show up in that last one. I’d love to see Glenn talk Gibson with him, the difference in opinion there would be... uh... vast. 😂
Nice to see SMT back for another show. Ps it's my day off.
Smells like leather jackets in here... love it
Fuck yeah! Glen has the best “Fucks!” Holly shit! The TH-cam guitar player cameos! Nice work my man! “Smells like leather jackets in here”
"Serious inquiries only" should not be followed by "not paid". It is not serious offer if is it not a paid job.
Just picked up a pair of the Kali lp6 monitors, wow they are great!!!!
Lmao, the kid with the tse had me dying 🤣😂🤣😅
