I also have 2 NEW videos out on 2 separate channels!!! My new cooking show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jjc3f5Cf-f0.html My new song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r8fCckat_0U.html
Ig we could consider him quirky? idk. But I mean, if you want his "quirkiness", you can have it. Just a fair warning, he doesn't have oral hygiene, so good luck 👍.
Is their music good? No Does it matter? Not really. Starting a midlife-crisis garage band with your buddies that's not very good has a certain degree of wholesomeness to it.
It gets less wholesome when you learn that they're not his friends and are something more akin to his employees lol,and if you listened to the podcast thing they did,its even more apparent
i've been here since the reddit videos, it's been a pleasure to see the channel take this direction. i'm a music lover too, and this is exactly what my niche is. i can't wait for more videos like this :)
Weirdly, Justin is actually a good singer. There's a recording of him singing somewhere else by himself and it's pretty good. It's certainly much better than the guy they have on lead. Why they didn't lean into his talents is anyone's guess.
For real! While watching this I was driving through Atlanta. And every time he swore it sounded just like a real car horn through my car's stereo speakers, it spooked the shit out of me.
marshal you still owe me for when i was 12 watching a reddit video of yours and i laughed and spilled juice on my laptop and it broke i have a nice computer now and am almost 19 but you still owe me money i dont care
glad to see ya moving up from reddit videos abt six months ago the phrase "noot noot toaster suit" popped into my head and i immediately thought "what's that marshall guy up to now?"
adding to the conclusion: i'm a massive ajr fan. been listening for about 5 years and i've seen them go through a lot. the guys lost their dad and the internet still uses them as "the joke of industry" and "everyone that listens to them sucks". really hurts to see. like i hate rex viper's music but i'm not gonna sit here and attack them or anyone that likes them
Justin: I wanna be in the band The rest: Sure, what instrument do you play? Justin: None The rest: Then what will you do? Justin: Be in the band, I don’t know how I can be more clear
I was there at the Toomanygames performance, it was really bad. I watched them with an old band mate of mine and I just remember looking at him and saying "the hell is this??"
I just needed to say that, because this is the latest R. Viper review, I searched for Rex Viper Live, sorted by upload date, and the first result was Corey Feldman Loserville Performance. Amazing.
🎶 And it's been a whiiiiiile Glad to see you doing new stuff again. Have not watched AVGN or Cinemassacre stuff in ages, so I didn't know about their band. It... Does kinda sound like ass. If they're having fun though, that's what matters the most. I'd rather have the most fun and be bad at something, than be the best in the world at something and hate every minute of it.
Rex Viper is pure arse but that isn’t where most of the hate comes from. It really comes down to the screenwave stuff and how they view James’s work now vs then. To me Rex Viper is just another thing to laugh at. Justin gets a lot of hate for being a member of screenwave. Many see screenwave as the thing that destroyed AVGN. I would put partial responsibility on them for sure but to me what really ruined AVGN was James himself. He wanted to put less effort in because it was convenient but he still wants the pay check. A big contrast to where he would script and put in hours playing the games and making notes and commentary. His family life did get in the way for sure but I think a big part of it is lack of passion. He’s been doing this bit a long time. I’d say retiring is the best way to go but what he did by continuing the show actually tainted his reputation.
Doesn’t help that James screwed his friends, Kyle and Bootsy. Nor did it help when James’ wife thought it was a good idea to whine about avgn’s fanbase being too white and male even though those people pay her bills and afford her a life of luxury.
I remember a while ago James was doing some mega man reading shit on a livestream (I think) and you could hear his wife in the background basically trashing him for doing video game shit. I haven’t been able to find any reuploads of it but I’m sure it was real and not just some fever Dream I had. Just found that funny. What isn’t funny is how he screwed over bootsy in particular. That guy has so much talent. Board James wouldn’t have worked without him
I feel sorry for them. Imagine doing something you love only to get booed into the stratosphere. There is worse out there and it's only because they have a following they have gathered so much hate.
I miss watching folks like sorrow tv and Marshall! You guys are awesome :) glad to see you’re doing well and making us laugh and smile with your jokes and music!
I love the one music video where the lead singer is wearing merch of TWRP, another and much better 80’s throwback band It’s like if Machine Gun Kelly started unironically wearing Green Day shirts during his concerts
Saying that mockery stifles creativity is an incredibly broad statement to make, and one that just isn’t true. Cruelty/vitriol can stifle creativity, while just being all around unnecessary. But no single band or person is immune to having the piss taken out of them/being mocked.
If you're not just interested in bad music, how about Alpharad? He spent a lot of 2020-2021 working on 2 eps and an album, for his project Ace of Hearts. It's been dormant for a while but he's mentioned plans to continue. It doesn't have universal praise, but I'm a big fan.
I love playing the snare drum to st anger on me and my kitties bellies. They get a kick out of it and I’m just barely patting them. If you’ve owned cats you know they like to be patted and especially on their sacrum
The snare thing is real shit. A very talented brutal death metal band put out an album a couple years ago and I directly responded to their post with something like "yo that snare is hilarious" thinking it was like a bare bones early mix. It's like a door slamming repeatedly and the resulting distortion muddies everything else. Doubly tragic because the drummer is extremely talented. Their debut LP is still one of my favorite albums.
If I was in a crappy bar and a band of some 40-50 something dudes playing a cover of Eye of the Tiger, I'd just leave and probably start frequenting another bar man. But that live footage was just, terrible man. Honestly I think the singer they have is going WAY out of his range, he sounds like he's straining his voice so hard he's going to hurt his voice.
I have always hated screenwave. They basically have ruined AVGN as a whole. If AVGN wanted to be in a band, it could've been James, Bootsy and Justin instead of this trash
if you need any music to talk about for future episodes, i recommend alpharad's band, ace of hearts. the music isn't just really good, but it also serves as an interesting look at the evolution of jacob's vocals and lyricism. plus it's the beginning of the pipeline into johnny manchild and deanna gowland and that's just a pipeline you wanna go down.
You ever get have that thing happen when you're doing something random and you hear something that reminds you of a joke a youtuber made so you go to check the last time they uploaded? Every time that I've had this happen they have uploaded in the last 2 weeks after a span of months without having done so
this band is sounds like someone shoved metallica's drunk DJ-moonlighting uncle into a rock tumbler with nails and legos. i pray for your eardrum surgery to go well bestie 🙏
Glad to see you back was about to send a swat team to free you from jacks basement but glad to see you gnawed your way out already. Some constructive feedback he video was very well done but the beginning made think that more bands where gonna be coverde in this video in multiple segments. And the finale cutaway gag with "what where they thinking" was slightly poorly delivered. Overall well done looking forward to more videos and you music insight was great. The examples where also well done for comparison
at TMG 2023 i got to hear them during their soundcheck, they honestly sounded pretty great (admittedly i did not hear them during their actual live performance). i got to talk with a few of them after, the guys are really friendly too one of them told me they don't get together much and TMG is one of the most convenient places for them to perform at, so this is very much a thing they do for fun on the side
