I only once watched one of his videos. I usually make a conscious decision not to click on click-bait provocative video titles, they irk me to no end. But in that one video, whatever it was, the guy was actually measured and well spoken. I'll have to listen what he says about Antoine now.
Save your time for something else. As Scot said, he behaved obnoxiously pretending he didn't know the guy (Antoine) and then came away impressed and with nice things to say about Antoine, all while whining about how he lost his Walgreens sponsorship and groveled to get it back.
There, now you don't need to watch. No FOMO. Nothing of value missed.
Thank you for the summary, Bill! That's all I needed to know lol
If I had know this video was going to cause such a bad reaction I would NOT have posted it. Antoine is phenomenal -- and he's very under-appreciated, in my view. I think this video attests to that with some snark & self-deprecating humor. He actually says something remarkable about Antoine & about music in general later on in the video. And that it comes from an angle outside our genre box...I think that is important. But I get how the guy could also just sound like a prick to people. Lesson learned.
Dude, it's no problem! I barely like anyone. Don't go by me.
I actually thought he was very complimentary about and impressed with Antoine's ability and playing. What was it he said that you found so upsetting.
I totally agree with what his views on "shredding".

Yeah, no worries from me. I think they are intentionally obnoxious to provoke reactions from people to get more video interactions. I think it is just a style of YT vids that I don't like. But then again, I've been known to watch vids of an Australian guy clearing external drains with a pet plastic rat. So no accounting for taste here, either. 🐀😉
I mean if obnoxious opinionated people being opinionated online was illegal I might be in trouble.
