Bradley being interviewed by Finn? This could not have been any better, damn

Watch everything both these dude's put out. Finn is my favorite music reaction channel and even though Bradley has shorter style his humor is contagious and Marty Friedman is both our Favorite guy.

Bradley: How goes it? Finn: What's that? The language barrier appearing in full force out the gate 😆

No one hates Bradley Hall.

Loved this interview. It's so true. The minute you achieve any success at any level. You'll know who your real friends are. People get down right petty and bitter. It's really sad. So cool you got to interview sir Hall.

I’m a massive fan of sir Bradley- he is sooo funny and a ridiculously good guitarist- he is also known by his secret super identity ‘SweepMan’. Amazing interview finn - two of my favourite people on KZfaq!💎🔝💯🇬🇧🐰

this was truely one of my favorite interviews yet. Thanks for taking the time on putting this together

Not sure if they count as KZfaq guitarists, but I’m a huge fan of the fellas at “That Pedal Show”. They’re just fantastic blokes and their show is wonderfully educational and fun.

Finn and Bradley start talking about computer code nonsense and I'm all like "NERDS!" as I get ready to play my guitar.. LOVE Bradley Hall & Finn! Keep it coming!

Wow, super informative and interesting conversation. Following both of you guys for some time now and super happy for what you've achieved! Good luck to both of you! 🖤

Crossovers you didn't know you needed:

Fun and interesting discussion. From a literary perspective working within constraints reminds me of literature of yore, when form defined the content; sonnets would be expected to conform to certain themes; and plays would either be tragedies, comedies, or histories. Which only began to change in the modern period with Shakespeare and Cervantes.

i think the big thing is getting a good video artist/editor to make a good music video. doing memes is an option as well, but i still think having something entertaining and thought out that is visual and that matches the tone of the music can really elevate the art to a new level

Hell yeah. Crossover of the year, two of my favorite music KZfaqrs

Both you dudes are legends in my books

Nice. I wasnt expecting this collab.

It's a mix of ego and envy, the cutthroat music industry breeds the crab mentality because there's this perception that there isn't enough room for everyone to have success. I also have to mention that in pop culture there's sort of a pre-carved path to a music career where you're supposed to pay your dues by starting in a garage, gig for free in shitty dives, and tour for lousy pay in heinous conditions. Then you're a "real" musician who has earned the privilege of being happy, likable, and successful. So people struggle for years walking this pre-approved path to rockstardom and don't get to the top of the mountain, and while they were on that lost road spinning their wheels the industry changed and new blood swooped in and found a "shortcut" to success. to blue collar musicians doing it the old way, they feel cheated and ripped off, but they're so used to the old way that it's easier for them to attack another person's credibility and legitimacy than it is to adapt to the modern climate. That's not to say that their feeling isn't understandable, but attacking other people isn't a recipe for success. It's just the jaded ramblings of people who feel left behind or think it's unfair that other people didn't have to endure the same misery that they did

Two of the GOATS!

2 of my favs, nice interview lads

the crossover i didnt know i needed lol GOLD

Great interview!

I don’t even know if this is speaking to that point or not, but what’s interesting is that guitar is bigger than it’s ever been… But it’s more of a general appreciation and unlike previous decades it isn’t attached to particular songs and artists… There really aren’t any big songs or artists anymore. People just love the art of guitar and KZfaqrs are a big part of that. I also don’t blame people that want nothing to do with social media and wish it was just about the music… That isnt the world we live in though.

Great talk. Thanks

This interview is the best one for me. Totally dude. yes and yes to everything that was said in here

I believe 99% of people, at least in our American culture, they want attention for their talents and hard work; whether it be a record deal, or the foreman at the plant promoting you, but this is true especially in music. People (especially musicians in this context), who say they want no mass attention, or they don't want to be famous and sell out, they want to just play to a few people and maintain their day job, etc... Frankly, I don't believe it lol out of ten, I believe .5/10 truly mean it. I saw a documentary about black metal a couple years ago where three different solo artists had a mini doc done on them, and the topic was isolation, solitude, outsiders living on the fringe, and they all kept saying (paraphrasing) "I hate people. I don't want your praise or criticism, I don't want money, or even attention personally, or for my music. I just want to be left alone." ... But yet they allowed/invited this journalist and allowed their actual faces to be recorded, and they show their recording methods and how hard they work to put their music out there for people to consume and pay attention to, which means they are purposely wanting and bringing attention to themselves bc they really do need or want it. If what they said was true to the way they express their wanted isolation, then they would not go so hard on trying to get this music out to the masses, and even project it further by accepting a journalism documentary on their private lives (which is extremely invasive). It makes me think of the South Park episode, the talent show, and the goth kids go up to perform (people who watch know how they are), and they're singing lyrics that talk shit about the talent show and how they don't want to do it, and when they finish they say something extra like "yeah, stupid talent show. I hope we win." 😂 And that is the truth with these people who claim these types of claims in music!! Every musician wants to be heard and receive accolades and validation at a minimum, and most want fame and fortune. The only people I think truly want to be left alone are people who go to live off the grid and lived in a cabin for decades (and they don't make KZfaq videos about how they don't want any contact or attention from people), or maybe a rancher or farmer who rather live with the silence and his non-speaking animals. I believe that musicians, especially musicians who play any type of rock (as a massive umbrella term), at a _minimum_ listen to their favorite music and imagine it's them playing the guitar and on the mic, and they have their own audience picked out to gush and be amazed and clap, etc... Even if they never try to put their music out bc they don't know how, or they're scared... They still play and maybe record on their phone or something and listen to it alone, and they day dream about what it would be like to put it out to the world and be heard by millions.

Bradley is a really nice guy!

Honestly you’re one of the first people I’ve seen talk about how horrendous touring looks. Always see it talked about so romantically and every aspect of it just seems designed to be something I’d immensely hate.

Oh look, it's Sweep Man 😍

wow, so cool seeing bradley from a different lens

At least he’s doing something and sharing his form of art and has the courage to take backlash and constructive criticism, most people can’t and won’t he is following his dream people are just going to be envious

Dang brad is the most humble goofball good shit boys

To me, Finn's right. It boils down to nothing more than jealousy. Just an old-guard mentality that the only way a guitarist should be trying to make a name for themselves is with a band, onstage. That's tons of fun, absolutely and totally cool if you have the means to get that going, but not everybody does. Nor do every two people have the same goal. But yeah, for real check out the Guitar World, Ultimate Guitar etc comment sections whenever a KZfaqr has an article about them. So many don't consider them real musicians. Like if you're a guitarist and made a name for yourself in KZfaq, you've somehow snuck in the backdoor and don't actually deserve to be there. Just dumb lol.

When i was 10 i listened to System of a down, at 12 i listened to bands like Cradle Of Filth, Dimmu borgir and Deathstars, then at 15 i listened to Motionless in white, Bring Me The Horizon and Suicide Silence. In 2018 thanks to The Punk Rock Mba, I discovered Ghostemane, Lil Peep, Lil Tracey and other alternative Rap artist, when i never really listened to rap, now at 27 i learned to discover artist from all genres. Thank you Finn! Much love from ks

That cozy zipped-up camo jacket really gives a giant floating head look

Yoooo I love Bradley!

Oh my two of the best KZfaqrs I know together

Fuck yes two of my favourite peeps in an interview.

The internet has made all of us way too comfortable in saying awful shit to each other behind the safety of our computer screens. It's such a misuse of energy and a great power.

this is so exciting

Nik nocturnal,Steve terreberry,Jared dines are awesome youtube guitarists

Fuck what a crossover....both channels are great

great Q&A

A KZfaq guitarist did a lesson on a Death Threat song I wrote. He incorrectly said it was in dropped C. I hate dropped tunings, so I was nice about him getting it basically right, but corrected the tuning. Dude got snarky with me. I wrote the fucking song! I think I would know how it's tuned

I watched this guy play Rust in Piece start to finish in one take. He is definitely amazing

He's definitely super funny. Imo laughter is the best medicine! I'd say he's probably the best metal head comedian on KZfaq and he has a great point. When I'm down and out and then turn on my phone and go see what up on KZfaq I'll see Bradley and laugh like bust a gut!!! Feels great. Makes me smile and I have a hard time with that. And I don't give a fuck about how the mainstream sees people I think they're in a 2d world. I think Hallzworth feels like about like I do, FuCk off we have Rights

You're not ugly, Finn!

ah I remember the days of finn talking about business! That was such good content

Holy shit Bradley Hall is amazing hell yeah finn! I won't even bug you about tool on this one

I absolutely love Bradley Hall! He played the entire The Lord of the Rings soundtrack on guitar! And he's hilarious! How anyone can hate him is beyond me.

YESSSS FINALLY!!!!!!

I can't see Bradley's other channel listed on his channel list

It’s just a new marketing paradigm like when music videos came out. Few musicians wanted to adopt it.

I know it’s a long shot but I would love to hear from 2SICH.

Will be interesting to hear UK lingo vs USA lingo 😃

Bradley is a top dog !!! Suberb channel !!!

LAMP was my jam 🤘🏼

The only thing Bradley has ever informed me of is the power of beans.

Bradley kicks ass. Dude has skills for days. He’s also super friggin funny. According to him, my pronoun is Necromancer.

How about more of the positive side of new music? I love hearing about music that’s new and exciting rather than what sucks and why you hate it? There are a ton of bands falling beneath the cracks that I miss out on.

Great guy!

informational content that doesnt get any views dont get them beacuase of the lack of being entertaining, for that you need that artistic mind, and its always been a personal view of mine, that just like in advertising, informational videos need an artistic vision in order to be entertaining

Google can't translate British English correctly. I have Sub-titles turned on and It translates Bradley saying "Meh-el" as "Melbourne".

The personality thing makes a shit ton of sense, Slipknot are great examples despite the generally goofy side of their costumes and whatnot, if you see that you'll probably be interested in the music/band

Not the main topic here, but I can shed some light on the salary and work of IT job comapred to EU and US. Generally: US: More highly-specialised field of work for IT jobs. EU: Most IT Jobs are all-rounders and don't only require expertise in one specific field. A lot of bigger companies outsource IT anyway and a lot of highly specialised teams are in India or US.

Bring in Chris Liepe next, please!

If I had a nickel for every youtuber I watch who turned out to secretly have been a software developer, I'd have two nickels.

I play music for fun. Playing live is a rush for me nomatter if there's 2 two people or 200. I just just love jamming and writing music general. No need for the fam or attention 💯

Finn, I like your face! I’m glad to see you in your videos, but I’d love to see you imitate the guy from Sugar Ray more, and your Power Metal videos are gold standard grade a blue ribbon CHEESE! 😅😅

I agree with you Finn, I would not enjoy the touring life.

"You okay?" is how I'm going to start greeting people

KZfaq guitarists are the new Guitar Heroes. They are really influential and I'm sure a lot kids start to play guitar because of them.

KZfaq has kind of become the new Shrapnel Records. Those super talented Shrapnel guys from the 80s and 90s weren't touring arenas, or even big rooms. They were doing music store guitar clinic tours. KZfaq has kind of taken that format, combined it with the guitar store salesmen, and brought that concept to our fingertips. I don't hate on KZfaqrs in general, but I am very picky on what KZfaqrs I watch. I'm not a big fan of the ultra negative KZfaqrs.

It's crazy how artist have a hard time separating art and the business of art. Either you put effort and funds behind marketing your work or you don't.

Solution: KZfaq Guitarist cruise ship festival concert "tour". Workshops, mini shows, competitions and game shows, seminars....and finally the KZfaqrs can bang each other on the ocean in international waters (so it doesn't count if you don't want it to...)

Im waering shorts right now while listening to this. Do you them to disappear finn?

The dude that spends years and years in front of 8 people in a bar may just like doing it.

Total cutie and halerious

Personally I started a KZfaq channel for the best reason... I have been working on enlightened transcendence and I don't want nor ever sinc my own third eye was able to see how the system operates... anyway I have always been a musician and writer but as a hobbyist...not because I suck... whoever thinks like that has serious issues.. Get Help if you have tried to get famous and paid for tourism and went down the You tube because nothing else... I would have to say real artist don't think that way I do it because when I am gone for a hundred years and some kid is listening to my playing or vocals and he asks his Mom for a guitar for Xmas or inspiration for a hard up kid or personal

brave of you to talk to a fellow bri'ish "person" Finn, we're a scary bunch

I often wonder why I've never been in everybody my entire life. I mean, Steve Terryberry kinda acts like a sillyass but...I don't hate him.

It's a damn shame that live music has progressed to only the domain of the gods. Live music has definitely lost it's lustre at the grass roots level

Nothing more annoying than YT guitarists. Except for YT video reaction content providers. Those who try to sway which music is or is not "good" or "cool" or "in". As if all art weren't subjective. Those people are truly annoying.

I don't hate youtube guitarists, I hate obnoxious youtube guitarists. Hate is probably too strong of a word, but you know what I mean. Bradley is a great player, but man his videos are too frenetic and got old real fast. Seems like a nice enough guy.

Bro who hates Bradley not me

I don’t hate anything, so “everybody” doesn’t work

This guy is as fun as watching paint dry on a wall. I'm assuming his content is the extreme opposite?

The best guitarists stay in their bedrooms and nobody will ever hear about them

So is music just about money now?

bradly hall made yt guitarist uncool

Fake news. Finn would not show this much respect to a European.

ngl seeing the hate "youtube guitarists" get fuckin hurts as a viewer a lot of times, I toured in bands all over australia, opened for Parkway, I killed the prom queen, the red shore, had some local radio attention and shit, and with all of that behind us we still fell flat. Then I see dudes like Bradley here and like a jared dines or someone getting shit on for doing more and going further in the industry than I can even dream of lmao and theyre doing it alone. Its just them on camera in front of the world. Like I had a band, theres like 4 or 5 dudes up there together playing in a band these dudes got no one to split attention with.
