This is so sad, but I’m glad to see he’s a better place now and I’m happy for his weight loss and that he’s sober now. A lot of people struggle with depression & their mental health and it’s so emotionally draining on you to the point that you wanna give up, but you just gotta keep pushing.
Cool he's doing better, but those people paid for tickets to see live music. Not a therapy session. Could have played 2-3 songs in the time he spent talking and trying to big up himself.
When you buy a ticket to see Beartooth, you’re buying a ticket to see Caleb Shomo. He’s been doing this for years. He gave a speech when I saw them in a small venue in 2019, and he’s still doing it today. It’s not new, it’s actually awesome that he does it. It shows he’s human.
@@evanpruett7537 Please tell me you're kidding. 😂 Like it's a normal part of a Beartooth show or something 🤔 And "you're buying a ticket to see Caleb Shomo" 😭 If that were the case, it wouldn't be "Beartooth". It would be a solo act. It's a band performance. I've seen Beartooth I about 8-10 times. Saw them first in 2014 and the last show recently. Of course he talks. Most vocalists do to some extent. But I've never been to a Beartooth show where he talked this long at a single time. I've also been to a couple Attack Attack shows when he took over as the vocalist. The last AA show I was at was in 2012 and Caleb sat on stage barfing into a trash can the entire set and barely sang the songs. So I guess that's probably the single Caleb performance I've been to that he didn't sing much.
@@closinginonclosure I never said he talks more than he sings. I also never said that he’s the lone member of Beartooth. But he’s the front man, the one that founded it, and the first one you think of when you think of the band. I’ve seen them several times as well. I saw them at Rockville, he sang the whole set, maybe a small intermission to speak, but the other 40 minutes was all singing. With ADTR in Chattanooga just a few weeks ago, same thing. And then when I saw them headlining, that’s when he took the time to speak his mind. Maybe not an 11 minute speech, but I definitely remember it being 6-7 minutes. It was the Disease tour, and he was giving his speech about mental health. I think that’s when it started. When they’re headlining and it’s their show, it is more common for him to do that. It’s not new. The notion of “you shouldn’t speak up about your past or your struggles cause you’re on my time” is why so many people don’t speak up. It helps him, spreads awareness, and helps other people. And he’s not going to stop just because closinginonclosure on RU-vid didn’t agree with it, at a show they weren’t even at.
