😂 I'm imagining a funny situation of Dave's conversation with the authorities after getting caught trying to sneak into the country illegally: "Why can't I enter the country? I'm like, 5-8 percent German, ya buster."
I've never seen anyone represent a brand just by their appearance so well 💀 you just know he smells like beer and cigarettes and can kinda play the pentatonic scale 😂
I'm surprised he didn't start whipping out old wrinkled backstage passes and blurry 38mm pictures of him and some "rock stars". "Here's me and the guitar player from Enuff Z Nuff and Tracci Guns with their sweet BC Richs'." Lmfao...ugh.
Man literally shit on sixstringtv for being honest, and then turned around and shit on B.C. Rich in the same instance. Dude's just bored and wants a fight because his life peaked, and it's no longer interesting to him, so he's gotta create drama. I call it Boomerism.
This guy freaking out in a fb live is hilarious. He‘s doing his best to give you as much as attention as you deserve. He calls you a little kid but he is the one who doesn’t have his emotions under control like a whiny little child. this comedy video made my day already, thanks a lot and I gonna stay tuned for the next round 😂
I hope to god there won't be a next round. I'm genuinely sick of BC Rich. I hadn't so much as said the name of the company in over half a year and he has to go digging through my old videos to re ignite the flame 🤦♂️
You may be younger (obviously), but I think you know more about business, guitars and guitar stuff than that custom shop guy. Everyone can build guitars with the right tools and a book. It’s not like building a nuclear plant.
@@Andyw1228 Part if the reason BC Rich terminated Cohen, they had to rebuild any guitar he tried making because he had no idea what he was doing, not to mention his attitude….
@@sixstringtv1 David Cohen was terminated from BC Rich several years ago due to his attitude and lack of skills in luthier work. He was constantly creating issues in the work place and going on tirades such as this which is why he was terminated so now he is hell bent on making the brand look bad. All of us affiliated with BC have seen your videos and if you are not into the stuff, all good brother, but please know that David does not reflect our views nor would any of us actually associated with the brand react like David or attack you like David. How he reacted to you is unacceptable
These boomers seriously need a reality check, it's just embarrassing how they come at you with this threatning dad energy of "I know people" as if that means anything
boomers lol dude, I am not defending that asshole at all but the thing is your generation has no idea what generations are so lets give us all a lesson..Baby boomers are anyone born from 1946 to 1964. Generation X is anyone born from 1965 to 1980.Millennials are anyone born from 1981 to 1996.generation Z is anyone born from 1997 to 2012. and current its generation alpha. this dudes parents were probably baby boomers, Just like when my kids call me a boomer I laugh and say no that's grandpa, I'm x and that doesn't sound as cool as an isnult
@@Vykk_DraygoThank you for this correction. No real dad behaves like this. This type of behavior automatically makes you evil stepfather material, no matter who donated the sperm.
You can tell how easy some of these guys had it back in the day because the slightest bit of criticism causes them to have a complete breakdown. It's pathetic.
People always say the younger generation is very entitled but thats entirely false if you ever worked any kind of minimum wage fast food/retail job. Every single "karen" is always someone who is over 50 years old.
It's almost painful to watch old people freak out on Facebook and behave like Karens. Some people just can't take the slightest amount of critique without going into a complete mental breakdown.
As a 53 year old player, I was around during BC Rich's heyday and personally I think you summed up their "situation" about as accurately as one could. The reality is that they are competing against brands that just know how to do it better than them- and they have not been able to leverage their legacy like other brands have over the years. This guy is just looking for someone to flame- and he wants some strange level of notoriety for having been part of the BC Rich legacy. I think it's pretty clear that his part was a very small one at best. I don't know if you have blow-hards like this in Europe, but in the US there are a fair amount of these jagoffs going around proclaiming there importance which is really nonexistent. I kind of think it's an unfortunate part of our culture here. Anyhow- I just wanted to say I really love your channel. You bring a level of humor that can be off-putting for some, but quite frankly I love it. Don't change a thing, there are a lot of people out there that need to hear criticism whether they like it or not. I include myself in that as well.
“I don’t care you’re irrelevant you’re a child I do not care about you you’re just attention seeking” - his emotional Facebook live about you Edit: his *first* emotional Facebook live about you
I actually used to be a personal friend of Dave Cohen. He legitimately went crazy after being fired from BC Rich. He was the head of the custom shop for a while, and I would email / Facebook message him as a BC Rich player, and he was a pretty cool guy. But after he was fired (Moser told me it was because of his potty mouth), he legit went crazy and couldn't stop yelling on camera. At one point, he even tried making his own guitar company to "take BC Rich's customers."
A couple points to make about Dave Kohen: 1. I'm probably not far from him in age, but I'm wise enough to take medication for my high blood pressure. (There are many effective treatments these days.) 2. He makes no effort to address any of the well-thought-out points Kaylen raised about BC Rich, resorting instead to cheap personal attacks that prove nothing. ...so if you ask me who the more mature one is, my vote would go to the host of Sixstringtv.
If BC Rich cared as much as this guy seems to, they'd never have stopped having their imports being built in Korea, and moved production to China, or Indonesia, or wherever they moved it to.. The quality drop was unfathomable, and moved the company far closer to the grave than any 11teen year old ever could.. and I say that as a guy who owns multiple BC Rich guitars, and would buy more if the quality control and value for your money were anywhere near what they used to be.. 😔
I watched the doc 'the original charvel gang' and I believe b.c. rich had a similar history of the guys that were doing the building just wanted to keep building and a lot of weirdness went on on the business end of things... Just as a player who has watched bcs go from super rare unobtainium to being sold at every little FYE in malls across America.
@@antonkovalenko364 I grew up in a tiny little backwoods town in S.E. KY and we had (and still have somehow) a killer local shop but there were also a ton of little flea market stalls and things like that that had musical related stuff... I can remember all the little bs shops and vendors mall dealers etc were suddenly flooded with tons of warlocks... The occasional mockingbird... But a buddy has one and went to mess with modding it... IDK what it was made out of but it was some type of bright pink particulate wood like material lol.
This irrationally hostile rant from a BC Rich use-ta-be was fueled by manufactured memories (he needs his meds adjusted soon) and probably uploaded on Windows '95 from his mother's basement. This was awesome and priceless, Kaylen. Thanks!
The fact that they are talking about you, and acting like you don’t matter. That shows that you aren’t just some dumb kid. They are clearly worried about your viewership and your impact, or they wouldn’t have even responded
Oh yeah, dude feels threatened by me. Not just him tho, the entire company. Casey Crabtree and his wife who run the custom shop now, Bill Xavier the CEO, all messaged me and were clearly pissing themselves in fear for their reputation
@@sixstringtv1 yeah, BCR is in hot water. It’s a struggling company trying to get back on its feet and recapture it’s market share. They care, they NEED good publicity. Any publicity is good publicity does not go for them right now, they need all the help they can get. They need a lot more signature artists and they need lots of good publicity.
I start every day with an ear to ear smile, until someone gives me a reason not to. 🤣 But as you can see, even this shit couldn't stop me from laughing 😂😂
Jeez this guy's acting like he saw your Pantera video.. actually, it's a good thing you took that down, cuz I have a feeling he's a fan, and his head or heart would explode if he saw it.. it makes me sad to have my bc rich flag in my guitar room knowing this guy ever had anything to do with the company..
@@SkyFire2112r real, I joined the Facebook group for fun to see the comments and ppl don’t think this grown ass man melting down over a child that doesn’t like his guitar is sad… like they’re proud of him for fighting like a mighty keyboard warrior
Highly amusing. Dude points out the age difference, then he proceeds to act like a child. - 'My friends are better guitar players than you' is the equivalent of school kids saying 'My daddy is stronger than yours !!!' The dude is a bearded 10 year old prone to heart attacks.
I found your channel from researching the brand because I’ve been looking to buy a beast because I love the shape, and wow all of these bc rich videos showcasing nothing but failure is so funny. Currently one of my favorite guitar RU-vidrs, watched over half of your videos in just a handful of days Keep making the great stuff
Which goes to show the true level of delusion. Neal Moser was building BC Rich custom guitars when that dude was still carrying his “Charlie’s Angels” lunchbox to third grade 😂
Calling you a child, while completely acting like one. The thing is, you are completely right about BC Rich. Ownership will change hands again soon if they don't figure it out. As far as this guy? Don't even bother. It's not even worth the views. Let him think he won.
This guys is going on a rant, nothing else. Nothing he said is even close to a coherent argument. It's just a random string of insults and "how dare you?".
Certain things have come to light on social media regarding Dave. Be careful around him. He has nothing to do with BC Rich and they are very unhappy with his involvement, not least the publishing of this video. Be aware that certain members of the BC Rich company do not want to be connected with this outburst and it should ideally be disassociated from the company. I actually feel sorry for them with the amount of bad press they are unwittingly garnering right now.
This grown adult man calling you "kid" then making a jerk off hand gesture and telling you that he knows guys who will "roast you" and "never want to pick up a guitar again" while doing an 8 month late very long live response to a video that was fairly objective... yeah, it says all I need to know about this guy. Could have just played those couple sound bites and ended it with the Curb theme music honestly.
A mature response here. Well done for practicing restraint! He clearly lost his temper. I say this as a big fan of BC Rich guitars. He could have stated his opinions a lot more calmly. He has a point about the legacy of the company. Their years between 1978 and 1984 saw some of the most beautiful and unique guitars in the history of guitar building. I would also suggest checking out the rather wonderful work of master luthier Neal Moser and some of their more recent models are quite stunning. But yeah, Mr Cohen was much too angry. There are more effective ways of debating such things!
BC Rich should make a signature model about Dave. Broken beer bottle glass and empty packs of cigarettes, and pissed stained toilet seat plastic in an epoxy mold. Then make sure that no matter how much you try , it can never stay in tune with the rest of the world, no frets ends are polished and all the knobs and the five way selector switch knob is missing. The strings on the tuning keys are not clipped and there is no strap buttons.
3 months after he was fired they “shit the bed” at Namm. Usually companies have their plans set in stone that close to a trade show. So either his input wasn’t valued at all, or his input led them down that path. Unless his title as head of the custom shop is more like an Assistant Manager at a McDonalds. No real authority to do anything.
Chris Poland used to work for B.C Rich so he kind of set up Megadeth to play them on their first two albums (I am always looking for an early 80's Mockingbird Bass because those were great back in the day).
Gotta love his point about how he knows people who could outplay you. Why tf is that even important? Is he gonna send some gang of bc rich players to have a shred battle against you in an alleyway or some shit? Cause that’s what it sounds like
The irony is i feel like both parties would actually like to see a return to form for BC Rich (and so would i) but i mean damn it is regrettable bro had a heart palpitation over this. Clearly he cares about the brand but damn
German Ariel Helwani has impressed me with his shit starting skills. Top tier tomfoolery. You love to see it. RIP BC Rich Custom Shop Guy, cause of death, SixStringTV. I had a BC Rich Bronze series. Terrible guitar lol. Only worse guitar I've owned was a Harley Benton Amarok.
I've owned many basses from this company, I also love the shapes, the history and really wanted this restart of the company to bring the back to the top they were back in the day. I do understand that the last couple of years were rough on the company due to certain global events. What I can't understand is why they're still NOT listening to what the average consumer of this brand wants. Talking from the POV of a bass player who's also a fan of the company, who asked for a Widow? Especially one with OEM pickups, hardware etc, the old Chinese blueprints with minor changes on the necks, bodies etc. Who asked for a Mockingbird with PJ pickups slapped on the old designs once again? Every day I see people in threads begging for classic shapes such as the ST-III bass (superstrat type body and neck), the Gunslinger bass (P style body with PJ pups), a Shredzilla bass (with modern specs, fanfret boards etc) and classic shapes such as the Beast, Warlock (not the FFDP monstrosity), Ironbird (people have been begging for this one for over a decade and a half) and many others. There are multiple basses and guitars they could bring into production that people ask constantly and yet they don't. Nobody asked for Japanese imports, nobody asked for overpriced American custom lines that aren't custom and nobody cares if the guitars are made in Korea or Indonesia as long as they're of good quality and are checked properly. Ibanez and many other huge companies have been using these factories for their cheapest up to some of the most expensive lines they got for many years now. Bottom line is that I want to support the company but they need to actually produce something that people want to buy. Being told "It's coming" is getting old after three years. Edit: Allow me to add the the BC Rich Facebook groups are places were extremely knowledgeable people hang around, who are always eager to help with pretty much any questions you may have. Some great people indeed. Having said that, these groups are also some of the most toxic and annoying places you'll hang around. Many times you'll make a thread for your instrument, be it a question, a NGD post, criticisms etc and a few certain people will flood the comments spamming you with photos of their collections of unplayed, case queen guitars. And it won't be one comment per person, but a comment for each individual instrument and a copy n pasted history on how they got it. Instead of getting help, advice or a "congrats" on your new purchase, you get flooded with comments about their collection every single time as if they haven't already made hundreds of copy pasted posts about them, spammed each comment section and annoyed the f out of you.
not sure why this video popped up in my recommended feed again, but after i saw it the first time i pulled the trigger and bought a really nice Ironbird that was in my watchlist beckoning me to rescue it... and what a great guitar it is, for metal. it is true that the current company management needs some work, and a marketing overhaul. however, that doesn't mean the brand itself is tarnished forever. even if the company folded and ceased to exist tomorrow, their legacy wouldn't be identified by the current import models, or the stranger things model. i'd still seek out the past models i personally liked. you gotta remember, the company has been around since the late 60's building awesome guitars. there's many good ones out there all the time on second hand markets, but you need to sort your search with most expensive descending to see them. i'm not ragging on your video, although i do see it as basic drama incitement without much value. i'm sure running a multimillion dollar guitar company can be quite challenging without huge amounts of overhead funds like jackson got when they were bought by fender. you want to review nice specimens of bc rich guitars? find a usa model, then you'll see the drastic difference between that and most of their import line, the exact same as you would any other guitar company's line of usa made versus import models. sorry for rant novel. peace.
“Eleventeen year old kid who thinks he has an opinion that matters about BC Rich.” Goes on to rant for 10 minutes about how this kid’s opinion mattered so damn much to him that it jacked up his blood pressure to dangerous heights.
Wow that guy’s going to blow a blood vessel in his head and have that big throbbing bloodshot eyeball. When I was a teenager in the 80’s, BC Rich wasn’t a joke. I remember at NAMM a few years back there were some good models and it looked like they were going to make a comeback. They even had a few good named artists on their roster. That’s about it. I never saw them move with the times or appear to join the modern world & revamp older models. I didn’t even know anyone who had an interest in playing or buying one of those guitars. Even as other companies were blazing in their own dumpster fire BC Rich couldn’t get anyone to light them up. The got a kick from Stranger Things & had an amazing shot at taking it to another level….but….ummmm where are they? Every RU-vid guitarist should’ve had at least two or three updated models & included the “Stranger Things model” with a LOUD noise behind them saying, “taking orders now” & cashed in hard core while re-establishing themselves. Unless they get another massive plug, they’re going to start circling the drain again. I watched your videos and you were spot on. Keep up the awesome work!
