Discovering The Scene

Here is an opinion and I am entitled to it. For those of you who know me well know that I have NEVER been a fan of Fender... I will never own one of their guitars or basses and will never even pick one up to move it out of the way of a good guitar or bass. If you enjoy playing them, I won't fight ya on it. Have fun with it! I did have a Presonus 64 channel board that I didn't know was owned by Fender but after using it and figured it out, it tracked (actually didn't, ha!)... It was returned due to quality. But this here gives me another reason to NOT like Fender:

In this episode I finally weigh in on the controversy surrounding F...

As the years go by, it gets tougher and tougher to write original music it seems. There are only so many notes in a scale and metal will eventually repeat itself. I was watching Ola Englund today that Evanescence stole his riff. Okay, let's watch how he handles it. Basically it is the same riff just down tuned. But it isn't the fact that the riff may have been used, it's how Ola handled it. Give this short video a watch and this is how a musician that's a professional should conduct business. Comment below what your thoughts are:

Some of you may have noticed my absence. No, not giving up this channel nor the youtube. Just right now, I have had a ton of "life" to handle. Also, my health. So, hang tight while I unf**k myself and we will be back to fun topics and promoting bands and such again. Thanks for your understanding with this matter.

Discussion topic. With all the bu****it that goes on in life like: Financial Issues, depression, loss of loved ones, health issues, family health issues, complete and total exhaustion, etc... What do you guys do to push through all that bu****it to be creative and produce music or whatever your craft may be?

So... Hi... Is it just me or is Facebook not pushing anything but hate and advertisements lately blocking great or positive content? Other than Tiktok, what are some other great platforms that people are going to these days like Facebook (not calling it great but in comparison)? I am just tired of putting in effort on this platform to be choked out with little to no results and getting buried unless I post hate filled nonsense and I like to shy away from that garbage. Tell me your thoughts below!
