...yes, he of shouty-hating-bass-players fame:

Anyway, met him for a beer on Friday. Some observations:

1 - He's a real hoopy frood. Seriously, had a really good night chatting about all sorts of shit.
2 - In the pub at least, he's almost as shouty as he is on YouTube. It was quite comforting.
3 - He's the only person of at least vague fame that I've met who is actually tall. I think he was the tallest of us there, by about 9 inches.
4 - He's Canadian, but almost as bad at drinking as most Americans. Two pints of Sam Smith's Alpine lager, and we had to go for a walk...

Anyway, he's a really nice guy if you ever get the chance to meet him, and very interesting to talk to; there were none of the awkward pauses you often get when you meet well-known folk. It was a bonus that he also plays Elite: Dangerous.

He always did seem a really amazingly together guy.
Got a lot of time for him and his "stupid musician texts"
Glad to hear he's a nice bloke!

I've been following his channel for a while and seen loads of his videos. Good on him for not being afraid to say it how it is (even at the risk of upsetting the likes of Mesa, Line 6, etc) with his honest reviews, and giving his time to education/advice.

How'd that come about? Spotted you "winning the comments" with your daughter/bandmate story the other day on one of his YouTube videos.

Haha...didn't realise I'd gone over 100 thumbs-ups. That's quite funny

I just noticed him mentioning he was up for a meet-up on Friday night; wife and sproglet fancied a girls' night and I was at a loose end, so I just hopped on a train and we went to the nearest pub to Holborn tube station.

Looks like he'd be a good hang, I've had quite a lot of fun watching his vids the past year or so.

I'd wear his "Your bass player is a cunt" t-shirt.

Howdy, Stranger!
