Oh Rodney. I am so very sorry. I'm sending you all the good vibes. I was diagnosed with polymiositis with interstitial lung disease in 2006. It has a 93% mortality rate and was basically given a death sentence. It's 2022 and I'm still here. Please keep your head up. 🙏

@RodneyMcG Год назад

That's fantastic news, Bobby. Congradulations! Mybe one day we can raise a virtual glass together and celebrate our victories!

Nothing more metal than facing a death sentence and living in spite of that. Nothing more metal than laughing in the face of death. Strength and power to you both.

@williamross2579 Год назад

Dear Rodney. I have come/gone from your channel for a few years, and in the meantime, I’ve made Bass playing, as a musician, a full time, paying occupation. From playing the UK and Europe, in a signed metal band, to a working covers/Functions band… I’m so sorry to hear this has happened to you… you are a diamond amongst the detritus. Keep warm,safe, and well. Thankyou.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

It does my heart a lot of good to know I could offer some help to your playing and that it has blossomed into a full time proposition. Congratulations and all my best to you for a long and fruitful career. All the best to you.

@wonziba2122 Год назад

I said it before in the comments and will say it again, you have become a mentor to me over the years. And not only in things music. It’s been a pleasure being there with you and watching your channel grow over the years. Let’s see how far we can still take this, shall we? Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

I intend to kick this thing in the teeth as long as I can, and definitely see how far I can keep rolling. I appreciate the encouragement and I'm glad I could offer you something oover the years.

@brocknyren Год назад

Very sorry to hear, Rodney. No matter what you can do, we here will love it and we will eat it up. Just hearing you talk about bass, and music, has really helped a lot of us. We love you, and we just want you to be happy. Even if you never posted another video about bass or music, we love you. You’re an incredible human being and we are all so thankful for what you have done for all of us. Maybe I’m speaking for myself, but I’ll take the floor regardless. We love you. Please take care, and do what you need. We will be behind you either way. So much love, and thank you, thank you, thank you. Hail Rodney 🤘🖤

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Comments and love like this really do more than I can tell you. Thank you so much, Brock

@brocknyren Год назад

Thank you Rodney. We all love you and you truly inspire myself, and everyone else who’s here. Words might not even do true justice to it. We love and appreciate you so so much. We all wish you the absolute best in the world, and happiness for you no matter what that may be. Take care. 🖤🖤

56 year old sista here that just started playing bass a couple of years ago. Self taught, just doing the best I can. I don't play metal, but I subscribed to your channel a while back because I like how cool and down to earth you are. I play just as a hobby, but I do enjoy your videos and how knowledgeable you are about your craft. Loved what you said at the end, it needed to be said and that's why I like your channel. You keep it real! Thanks for all that you do, it is appreciated.

Rodney, much love from another LA exile and Skinny's alum. I haven't seen much of you since you moved to your uber-goth winter palace, but I just wanted to let you know that I've been a subscriber and lurker since you started this journey. You're a damn fine person and friend, you're an excellent musician, and as a side project, a great content creator. A solid middle finger to anyone who would dare accuse you of anything less. I hope you get a handle on your health and stick around with us a while, the world is a better place with your participation. Horns up, my friend. I wish you nothing but the best.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Really good to hear from you, my friend. I'm blown away by the kind words and encouragement. Hopefully we can raise a glass again one day. All my best to you and hope you are well.

@svilenninov9657 Год назад

You're a true legend Rodney! Ever since I found you, you've been like a mentor to me. I could watch your Metal Bass Monday series exclusively for the next few years and I would still have something to learn from them! Thank you for everything! Thank you for being a source of great advice and inspiration! I truly wish you all the best!

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Wow, thank you! Glad I could be of service, and hopefully will continue for good bit longer.

@AnthonyStudio Год назад

Thank you for being such an inspiration with bass and beyond. I still re-watch your videos because You *always* find something to teach me; makes me pick up my bass and play. Gutted to hear the news about your health; we will all fight alongside you in that battle every possible way we can!

@RodneyMcG Год назад

I'm blown away by the encouragement and solidarity, anthony. thank you.

Just saw your YYZ isolated track video so I did not know you had health issues. I’ll be praying for you ! All the best to you. God Bless my friend.

@nj1255 Год назад

Damn. I just discovered your channel from getting this video in my recommendations, and I've already started training my three-finger picking technique! I curse the YT algorithm for not pointing me here until now. Very sorry to hear about your disease. From reading the comments below, it's obvious that you have a very dedicated and caring audience, which seems like a rare thing on YT these days. Great teachers usually have that effect on people!

@svtbass Год назад

Rodney.First I am so very sorry... I had very SIMILAR thing happen to me 24 years ago. I remember the day it hit me. Nov 28, 1998... MASSIVE FATIGUE> I could do ONLY one thing a day. So I decided, do i brush my teeth today .. OR comb my hair today? I made the decision to Brush my teeth.. So I cut my hair off..to make it one less thing to do.. After that I was beyond spent.. That was it for the day...Sleep didn't help relive the massive fatigue.. The first 6 months doctors had no clue.. They they told me i had an incurable neurological auto immune disease.. Turned out I had Mercury poisoning... and mitochondria issues possibly caused by it and thyroid failure. .. Took me about 7 years to get better..Im running about 90% now.. And back living.

@RodneyMcG Год назад

Wow, Kirk. I'm so glad to hear you are on the road to wellness after such a devastaing condition. My best to you for 100%

Love the three finger technique for that small group of impertinent people! 🤣😂🤣😂 Hey, Rodney, I wish you all the best, man. Metal Bass Monday was my favourite music-related content for a long time. Couldn't wait for the next episode. I'm cheering for you! 🍻

@BFelix1776 Год назад

Damn man, This is heartbreaking. I've checked in on the channel and wondered what you've been up to. I was hoping you were just busy with better, more important things than RU-vid. I don't know what to say. I just wish you all the best.

Hey Rodney. I'm sorry to hear that things have gone... sideways, for lack of a better term. For what it's worth, I've heard of plenty of people getting an expiration date that they have FAR exceeded and I know that they have been making great strides in treatments, cures and whatnot. Of course, I don't know what you have going on, but I'm trying to keep things positive. I've really enjoyed the stuff you have put out, on this channel and the Rodney and Alphie talk metal channel. I hope to see more, but more importantly, I hope that you get as healthy as you can.

Sorry to hear that Rodney. I've got the incurable diagnosis already twice, so i can feel a bit with you. Try to think positive. It will affect your daily life to the better. You've been an inspiration for a lot of people here, heads up 🤘🤘🤘

@valeriotagliaferri2125 Год назад

Take care, life is more important than anything else. I think that "Heart of Steel" by Manowar fits in your difficult situation. Thanks for teaching me to play better with a thin pick and plucking with 3 fingers. I've never considered the middle finger technique but in some cases it's quite necessary. Thanks for everything you do, Rodney.

@d_exx Год назад

Wishing you all the best Rodney! Don't worry about anything accept being the best you can be! You have been missed so it is lovely to hear from you. Wise and very important words. I have a loved one going through something similar so these words hit home for me. Thank you for everything you do and thank you for everything you do going forwards. Much love and stay strong! 🙏🏻 X

@derwinmoss9485 Год назад

Prayers and good vibes for you, Rodney. First and foremost, take care of yourself. Please don’t overdo yourself making videos. Your health is far more important. I know what you’re saying about the fatigue. I had a malignant gist tumor removed from my abdomen in 2020. I still haven’t regained my energy level 100%.

Hello Rodney, I want to let you know I'm very sorry about your illness, but I also want thank you for all the moments I spent watching your videos. I did stop playing bass years ago and you inspired me to play and write music again, of course I do it for myself since I don't have a band anymore. Thanks for all the reviews always professional and extremely clear, made my life easy when it came to spend the little dollars I have on plugins that can allow me to play without an amp. I wish you the best.
