I was in Walmart and overheard a kid ask his mom for chocolate milk. She got it for him and my initial thought was "lucky, I want chocolate milk". Then I remembered that I am 30 and I can buy chocolate milk whenever I want! So I did! This song really resonated with me.

@GT2OOO 10 ай бұрын

The problem is that you need to pay for it yourself when you're grown up. There's always something with chocolate milk, isn't it?

I love how quickly the two of you can just match the vibe of whatever style you get stuck with for the challenge. Rob was so in his element here considering how banjo metal was a staple on his channel back in the day, and it was funny to see how quickly he slipped right in to that mindset like it was just business as usual.

Pretty good job boys! Though I am here sitting with an itch for a sound that I hoped you would do with Banjo, Rhodes and 'Heavy'. When you picked those 3 things, my brain immediately thought of a mix between Panopticon and Conan. Low and slow and with some eerie Rhodes chords and a slow twanging banjo. I wish I was capable of making something like that.

I've been greatly enjoying these videos, as well as others of both yours and Rob's. I'm even more impressed (and inspired) after seeing in your past videos and your channel description that you're hearing-impaired. I'm very hearing-impaired as well, but more in the upper range than the lower range (been that way since birth, more or less). You and Rob have great energy and put out some awesome-sounding stuff. I can only hope to get anywhere in the vicinity of that skill level, given that I'm starting (well, seriously starting; I've dabbled before) much later in life. Keep up the good work!
