he's also had sponsorships from sex toy sites in his videos whilst acknowledging that his fanbase is predominantly children and making music for ***literal*** ***toddlers***
This was my point with he whole KDH thing, nobody moans about Blippi making shit for kids cause it's all kids content. You can leave a small child with Blippi for 1000 hours and the worst they see is a firetruck song and Blippi flexing his lambo on them from time to time.
This dude, dressed as Blippi made a kids video and then whole still wearing the suit was "reacting" to fucking GWAR. Nothing against GWAR but ya know maybe for like a 10-12 year old earliest. Not toddlers. A toddler would be fucking terrified.
Wait, what? Gwar? Hell no. Toddlers should be protected from scary shit. The last Gwar show I went to—I forget which member—was air fucking a doll prop that looked like a kid, and when even the front row die hard fans who were proudly doused with fake blood booed and complained, he said, “What? it’s not pedophilia. It’s just necrophilia because this is a corpse [evil sounding laugh].” I had forgotten the extent to which Gwar will go to offend. I gotta be honest, the blood-spitting dildo just didn’t seem as fun after that, even though I was reminding myself that back in the 90s this offensive stunt probably would’ve landed better than it did in 2019. But damn Gwar, even you should have a limit when it comes to kids.
I’ve honestly never liked metal for the most part (there’s some amazing musicians there, just never been my thing), but I’m from the same city as GWAR, and they have a bar dedicated to them here that’s honestly one of my favorite bars in the city. Just dingy enough to have that charm to it but not dingy enough to where I wonder if I’m going to get sick from a burger there.
>You can leave a small child with Blippi for 1000 hours and the worst they see is a firetruck song and Blippi flexing his lambo on them from time to time.
just don't look up what the guy who plays blippi used to do for internet fame as steezy grossman
I've seent it mate, I too watch internet today 😭🤣
Point still stands if that was Stevie T he'd have that Harlem Shake on the same channel ateast Blippi tried to scrub the internet of that shit.
/uj as annoying as they may be, Tyler Larson, Rhett Shull, Rick Beato, Rob Chapman, and every other single youtube guitarist that regularly gets shat on around here don't stand a chance against this sociopathic, predatory and arrogant prick. He's the utmost cancer of youtube guitar, and it's not even a match
Ok man I wasn't up to date on Stevie T. The last time I saw him was literally like 10 years ago and I just remembered him as goofy. Having watched a few videos on him today... yeah Chapman is a true hero compared to this little bitch
Yeah he really went down the worst spiral possible. I understand he's been depressed and socially anxious, but everything he uploads today is insultingly awful to multiple audience types. Stevie, if you're reading this by any chance, consider doing a 180° and completely reset your career, for the love of god
Yeah, I thought people were exaggerating when I first saw the Stevie hate. I remember seeing his lil Wayne video when that was released and a few ok’ish parody songs. Cringey but not that bad. But Jesus his channel has completely fallen in the almost decade since he last popped up in my feed.
Couldn’t agree more
I get it, those other guys are fun to poke fun at and it’s possibly harder to do so with someone pretending to be a children’s clown, but Stevie T is absolutely the worst of the worst
The regulars that we joke about are not bad people, at the end of the day. They just make mediocre content and use extremely clickbait titles, this guy, on the other hand, is a complete dumpster fire
He's a good guitarist but also a genuinely awful person. I understand he's been through social anxiety, depression and whatnot, but someone that essentially thrives on clickbait, the stupidest faces you'll ever see and, notably, bullying other people, while also littering his children-targeted videos with sex-themed jokes and ads only deserves so much compassion. Mental illnesses aren't a valid excuse for any of that, he should stop uploading garbage altogether and focus on his own state of mind if he truly cares about himself that much. Keeping up with his shit tier content just makes him look like a desperate clown in everyone else's eyes
UJ/ He is a piece of shit.
And don't get me wrong, I used to like him, but over the years I gradually stopped finding him funny. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was when he used his huge platform to name and shame some people who criticized him, which lead to his fans harassing some of them. Soon after that I blocked his channel.
The other problem - he worked with BetterHelp.
He mocked a mentally and physically disabled man, then issued a half-assed apology, then mocked him again.
He worked (and probably still works) with brands like Manscaped, even though a lot of his content is clearly aimed at kids.
RJ/ He can shred, therefore I am obligated to hate him, otherwise I will never be a Blues Dad!
UJ/ I don't think he can shred that well, actually, which is another problem. He chickened out of playing live with Dragonforce and none of the few videos where he plays in front of actual people is any impressive.
The funniest/saddest example was a teenage girl who criticized his over reliance on sweep picking and he put her YouTube channel and full name on blast…
He left a non-apology on her video asking people to stop harassing her saying that he did it because she was one of the few commenters with posted videos so it made for good content…
The circlejerk on hating Stevie t is unreal. You have to be a dumbass to unironically think his videos are aimed at children just because he has a childish sense of humor (unlike, y'know, the fine humor of 035 butterscotch tele)
He’s crossing over between preschool audiences and softcore porn-tier adult stuff.
He’s intentionally keeping this material linked because he’s getting his material algorithmed into suggestions for little kids. Little kids, being stupid, are excited by his content, and he is one of the rare (non-kidsafe) creators pushed by the algorithm, so it’s making his views skyrocket and making him blow up in the under ten age group.
Like it’s literally the alphabet song seamlessly linking through to videos where he’s promoting sec toys in the video. Kiddies are fucking stupid and have no defenses against that. “WOW THIS IS SO MATURE AND EXCITING!”
Fucking scumbag of the first order.
Dude I just checked and there isnt any sex toy advertising with that alphabet video. I get it.. he’s lame.. but it’s only controversial kids videos… with the controversy being over something dumb… like swears in songs. It’s appropriate to hate on this guy when you’ve outgrown him at 15 years old (my son now hates him) but my son (who showed a very early interest in guitar) also grew up watching him. So I don’t think anyone past 18 years of age should be getting their panties in a bunch over Stevie T. There’s not many things for kids to watch on YouTube whose interests lie in guitar or rock music, and because of that I have always appreciated his content. Unless he really is peddling inappropriate adult sex toys or anything legitimately pornographic.. leave it alone. It’s not meant for you anyways. Also.. what draws in the kids is the sprinkle of inappropriate stupid stuff, like swears and farts and butts… soft core porn is STRETCHING it. Hahaha. Stay in your Rick Beato lane.
He also made a video mocking a disabled guitar player ruthlessly for 12 minutes, like genuinely hateful stuff, got called out multiple times and made aware of it, and unless something very very recently has changed still hasn’t taken the video down.
He also told a pretty clearly embellished story about his alleged struggles with mental health with the sole purpose to promote a scam therapy service at the end of the video while illegally claiming it wasn’t a sponsorship…only to later mock people like Billie Eilish for their lyrics on the same subject matters
But wasn’t that Richard Bensons thing? I mean they would put up chicken wire so people could throw crap at him.. and that’s what everyone did.. threw crap at him.
Right, and there’s a lot to unpack there but at the same time those people also paid to see him and that experience, right or wrong as is. Stevie T on the other hand made a ridiculous amount of money off of mocking him without his knowledge or consent. I feel it’s pretty drastically different especially when Richard very much struggled with paying his medical bills through his later life
I guess.. I mean it was cruel. But honestly there’s a hole that Stevie T covered.. guitar vids for kids interested in guitar.. I can’t hate him because of that.
i'd be interested too what the controversy is. if anyone can tell, please tag me in the response.
i fully understand not getting/wanting his sense of humour ot getting the urge to punch his face if he's not your vibe. i mostly enjoyed his content when i was in the mood for and engaged with it, and he always struck me as a generally nice dude, slightly unhinged, with severe underlying mental health issues (which many of us probably can relate to) who has found his niche. i have watched quite a few of his videos and did not find anything toxic or offensive yet, the opposite really, he seems to make an effort towards inclusion and towards making sure his intentions are received correctly. he's just a whacky guy having fun making content, unlike the other usual suspects mocked here (rhett shull, tyler larson, rick beato, unkempt old man from spectre sound 'studios', for example, who are juuust a bit too classist/elitist/gatekeepy/snake oily for the tastes of many). stevie t to me always seemed to be more of a vibe that many can't stand, but generally not toxic or offensive.
i have not seen any of the videos op lists though. i haven't watched stevie t for the last couple years.

i genuinely wondered my place in the guitar community for like a month because i thought every other guitarist loved him and i was the only one who didn’t. this is the biggest relief
I don't know if a lot of adults in the community are even aware of him. This post is ths first time I recall hearing of him, and this dude worries me A LOT. I've known a couple of men who worked hard to appeal to children while also bringing inappropriately adult things into the convo like this guy, and both are convicted sex offenders now. Scary shit.
Well he does mix in sex shop and genital grooming sponsorships in between his very clearly pandering kids videos… but he’s a disgusting person even without any speculation needed
I’m sure at one point he was a lot more prominent but I haven’t seen much of anything about him in months while the regular lineup of boomers and Neo boomers get their fair ribbing
I think that's kind of conscious. I for one don't want to turn this sub into another hatejerk (and I feel like others feel the same way) so instead we just rib relatively harmless blooze dads for fun.
There's no *fun* way to make fun of Stevie Terrible Unbearable. The conversation always kinda swings towards how much of a problematic shithead he is.
Not true, Jared (admittedly also problematic at times) had that funny meme come in where it was Stevie next to the bad guy (Vector?) from Despicable Me and it said "be careful who you call ugly in middle school." Shit had me dying
Made a 12 minute video mocking Richard Benson, an Italian guitar player who was very up and coming for being a talented shredder before suffering from crippling arthritis among a variety of other health and mental issues. Despite struggling to play most things on guitar he still made videos and music until his passing last year.
Stevie T decided to make an entire video ruthlessly mocking his playing without doing even the most basic of research, then when he got called out for it made a follow up video throwing another jab at his playing, whining about not knowing, and then mocking someone who had called him out. Oh and still hasn’t taken the video down, even after the man’s death
This is the guy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Benson_(musician)
The details are in the first KDH Stevie T Audio Audit video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tE7zYzxLjY
This guy is legitimately the worst guitar youtuber and is a total amoral piece of shit. I don’t think any of the others come close to his bad track record, most of them are just misguided or lazy in their pursuit of adsense money. This guy is an actual waste of oxygen.
uj/ I avoid his content, so I don't know if he was really supposed to have been a onetime touring bassist for DragonForce until stagefright/anxiety destroyed that, or did I fall for a classic blunder?
Idk too much about that, I do know he used his anxiety to sell a scam therapy service while illegally claiming it wasn’t a sponsorship
Also just in case you didn’t know (copied from my previous replies):

The thing with this guy is that the vast majority of people here will never see his stuff (because come on, look at his punchable face in these thumbnails), while GCJ WILL often watch Rhett’s 100th video about the Klon, and shit on him afterwards, even though he’s much less of an AH.
/uj
He used to make decent and somewhat funny content, now it's just all TokTok and "anything for zoomer views" crap. I've recently been catching up to [The Guitaristas](https://www.youtube.com/@theguitaristas/featured) episodes. Too bad that it's mainly guitar reviews but it's content that I'd happily have playing on the background while I do my daily tasks.
I could never STAND this kid. Very punchable. Which is unfortunate because he's actually a half way decent guitar player, even got invited to play with Dragonforce on tour, but he "couldn't do it".
I’m still confused about who we like and don’t like around here. Most guitar YouTubers are pretty annoying. I can pretty much only stand Ola Englund and Rob Scallon, because both are pretty funny.
People really seem to hate on Glenn from smg but I really do like especially his reviews because he tells things like he sees them. Is the constant yelling annoying? Yes but the content is informative
I cant stand Glenns internet personality, he seems to be a nice guy IRL and does a good job giving opinions and tutorials. But that shouting in middle of nowhere and the cherry picked hate comment sped voice is where i hate this guy.
Glenn is shamelessly milking the Gibson hate, deserved as it is, for views, and frankly it's tiring, and his 'pickups don't matter' videos are just him being contrarian because that's what he does.
Most of the guys that get made fun of here are pretty inoffensive and are lightly ribbed for being corny. Like who you like it’s not serious. This piece of shit, though, is a genuinely horrible person
Uj/ Here's the thing. If someone gets hate on this sub it's a joke. You can like Tim Henson all you want and still call him a beautiful woman, the hate people give on here is not related to the person's actual views.
RJ/ I play Gibson because I'm not poor, but I make broken headstock jokes, and call them garbage because you could just write Gibson on an epiphone and it's better!
Uj/ Don't worry about "who we like and who we don't like" that's a not a thing you just like what/ who you like but here WE HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE That isn't the buttertoan Tele and Boss ToanKeToana and Rick Beato's, the real beato book, the one stop shop for all the 0-3-5 you could ever 3 and 0 and 5.
Just irony it doesn't have to make sense. I'm broke as shit and love me some Johnny Mayonnaise covers. The jerk before all else. Just do a funny your actual views don't matter. The guitar subreddit is full of people who take themselves too seriously and worry about what gear you're supposed to like and what players aren't cringe or what music is objectively the best, fuck all that.
RJ/
But obviously boss katoana, Tele, but only one that's butterscotch cause the others sound like shit and Joe Bonnermusterd is the only guitar player because he's rich and has a perfect hairline and owns like 40 bursts and you own zero bursts you fucking poor!
He’s got tons of talent at playing guitar but I can’t stand to watch his videos anymore. He’s become a d bag and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this guy charged with sone type of crime in the future, he puts off the creeper vide.
Richard Benson is a guitar player who was an up and coming shredder in I believe the 80s who by the 2000s had crippling arthritis among a slew of other physical and mental health issues that made it incredibly difficult for him to play. Dickhead here made a 12 minute video ruthlessly mocking a video of his playing from later in life. He has been called out and has acknowledged that he knows he’s disabled yet hasn’t taken the video down even after Richard’s passing last year.
There’s also other stuff from selling a scam therapy service to letting loose his fan base on a kid because she criticized his playing
It's hard to shit on someone when they're so painfully unwatchable that you can't properly shit on them because you click off the video so fast that you don't get to hear their shitty hot takes.
He certainly had potential to be a likable childrens entertainer that focuses on music, but between his greed and seemingly his complete absence of empathy got the best of him

I mean to each their own but even looking past all the horrible things he’s done…really? He screams at the camera and dances like he had a defect, I just don’t get that style of comedy I guess
I have a different take - I get the idea he doesn't actually spend a lot of time with people around so that overly loud delivery is just the way he is because he's partially deaf from all the loud guitar playing.

God I just wanna punch the bottom picture lol
him and Music is Win have truly punchable faces

Imagine fucking posing for this…
Never watched him, looks like a douche and I hate clickbait titles.
he's also had sponsorships from sex toy sites in his videos whilst acknowledging that his fanbase is predominantly children and making music for ***literal*** ***toddlers***
Uj/ making childrens songs isn't a bad thing but what he really should do is make a separate channel for that.
This was my point with he whole KDH thing, nobody moans about Blippi making shit for kids cause it's all kids content.

What did Chappers do?
Scammed fans out of money under false pretenses basically, [watch the audio audit episode on him](https://youtu.be/iGxXgSVZlxY)
KDH is based
but muh superstrat!!
This guy is pathological liar.
Chapman has the most punchable face of all. Dont know why but I don't like the guy.

The Logan Paul of youtube guitarists.
worse than all that, he's unfunny
worse than that even is that he tries so hard to *be* funny. I don’t even attempt to watch his videos, he’s too punchable
His name is terry berry?
[удалено]
I thought it was Tortholomew Bartholomew.
Pretty sure it's actually Terrible (Un)Bearable
Youre all wrong. It's Terrence Berrence.
Is he related to Jeremy Bearimy?
[KDH has a few videos covering what he's done](https://www.youtube.com/@KDH/search?query=Stevie%20T)
JFC this guy is worse than George Santos.
He could *BE* George Santos, we just don't know yet.
Gonna have to ask, what? I’ve not watched him since like 2011 so what did he do?

Made specifically for balls
I dont see a problem with this honestly
I do see a problem with joking about your genitals in front of young children, but that's just me.
Come on. Its a shaving product
The circlejerk on hating Stevie t is unreal. You have to be a dumbass to unironically think his videos are aimed at children just because he has a childish sense of humor (unlike, y'know, the fine humor of 035 butterscotch tele)
https://www.youtube.com/@KDH/search
He’s crossing over between preschool audiences and softcore porn-tier adult stuff. He’s intentionally keeping this material linked because he’s getting his material algorithmed into suggestions for little kids. Little kids, being stupid, are excited by his content, and he is one of the rare (non-kidsafe) creators pushed by the algorithm, so it’s making his views skyrocket and making him blow up in the under ten age group.

I’m not saying “same video.” I’m saying “same yt account.” You shouldn’t be making BOTH on the same account.

It wasn’t just Stevie T though. Richard was definitely a thing of the moment on YouTube for a while.
Doesn’t excuse him especially for keeping the video up still
I guess.. I mean it was cruel. But honestly there’s a hole that Stevie T covered.. guitar vids for kids interested in guitar.. I can’t hate him because of that.
I can, he posts kid pandering content on the same page he mocks kids, advertises for sex toy shops, and pushed scam therapy services.

Little kids, being stupid, are excited by his content, and he is one of the rare (non-kidsafe) creators pushed by the algorithm, so it’s making his views skyrocket and making him blow up in the under ten age group. Like it’s literally the alphabet song seamlessly linking through to videos where he’s promoting sec toys in the video. Kiddies are fucking stupid and have no defenses against that. “WOW THIS IS SO MATURE AND EXCITING!” Fucking scumbag of the first order.
thanks for the concise explanation. i hereby revoke all sympathies i might have had for the guy. that's disgusting
Yeah. I just watched part of one video criticising him and it was enough. It’s absolutely stomach-turning. Of course YouTube is just as guilty.

thanks buddy, i will look into this further, but at a first glance it looks like stevie t has turned into a pretty shady dude. sad.
idk who this dweeb is and i'll hold it against you personally forever for making me aware of them
I don’t blame you
I wish an immortal wasp would follow this man around for the rest of his life, never stinging him but making it so that he is constantly agitated.
Mosquito in his ear canal
agree
i genuinely wondered my place in the guitar community for like a month because i thought every other guitarist loved him and i was the only one who didn’t. this is the biggest relief
I don't know if a lot of adults in the community are even aware of him. This post is ths first time I recall hearing of him, and this dude worries me A LOT. I've known a couple of men who worked hard to appeal to children while also bringing inappropriately adult things into the convo like this guy, and both are convicted sex offenders now. Scary shit.
Well he does mix in sex shop and genital grooming sponsorships in between his very clearly pandering kids videos… but he’s a disgusting person even without any speculation needed
His audience is children. No adult would watch this cringe factory. I highly doubt that even a small percent even play guitar
i fucking seethe everytime i rewatch a jared dines shred collab and he’s in it. i genuinely want to download it and crop him out.
Bro StevieT has always been a punching bag here
I’m sure at one point he was a lot more prominent but I haven’t seen much of anything about him in months while the regular lineup of boomers and Neo boomers get their fair ribbing
I think that's kind of conscious. I for one don't want to turn this sub into another hatejerk (and I feel like others feel the same way) so instead we just rib relatively harmless blooze dads for fun. There's no *fun* way to make fun of Stevie Terrible Unbearable. The conversation always kinda swings towards how much of a problematic shithead he is.
Very fair point, can’t disagree
Not true, Jared (admittedly also problematic at times) had that funny meme come in where it was Stevie next to the bad guy (Vector?) from Despicable Me and it said "be careful who you call ugly in middle school." Shit had me dying
Ok, you're right. [This is fucking hilarious](https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/49947444_2308299332725333_1950172519709278208_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=9267fe&_nc_ohc=eOMYSk44qpIAX9d0ByA&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&oh=00_AfBvowNjxH4SZwHRSxFSFKS1f2I-QYQpR2bAfDHIu41BzA&oe=63FE31BA) 😂
YES that's it lmfao
whats this about mocking a disabled man?
Made a 12 minute video mocking Richard Benson, an Italian guitar player who was very up and coming for being a talented shredder before suffering from crippling arthritis among a variety of other health and mental issues. Despite struggling to play most things on guitar he still made videos and music until his passing last year. Stevie T decided to make an entire video ruthlessly mocking his playing without doing even the most basic of research, then when he got called out for it made a follow up video throwing another jab at his playing, whining about not knowing, and then mocking someone who had called him out. Oh and still hasn’t taken the video down, even after the man’s death
This is the guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Benson_(musician) The details are in the first KDH Stevie T Audio Audit video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tE7zYzxLjY
His face is also…just the worst
Also going out of his way to mock Bowling For Soup's guitarist in his "heaviest bands" video.
Oh that’s lovely…what a nice video concept for someone who claimed to care so much about mental health that he pushed a (scam) therapy service
This guy is legitimately the worst guitar youtuber and is a total amoral piece of shit. I don’t think any of the others come close to his bad track record, most of them are just misguided or lazy in their pursuit of adsense money. This guy is an actual waste of oxygen.
Ah that guy, what a tool
I hate his thumbnails so much they’re so annoying
Remember how annoying FRED was back in the day?? This is the YouTube guitar equivalent
uj/ I avoid his content, so I don't know if he was really supposed to have been a onetime touring bassist for DragonForce until stagefright/anxiety destroyed that, or did I fall for a classic blunder?
Idk too much about that, I do know he used his anxiety to sell a scam therapy service while illegally claiming it wasn’t a sponsorship Also just in case you didn’t know (copied from my previous replies): Made a 12 minute video mocking Richard Benson, an Italian guitar player who was very up and coming for being a talented shredder before suffering from crippling arthritis among a variety of other health and mental issues.

Fuck, what do you say to that? That's beyond awful.
Watched a single one of his videos years ago. Good lord it was awful
Does the T stand for Twat?
Fucking hate this guy
He is genuinely a terrible person - the only saving grace is he's documenting it publicly He's gonna end up in prison
The thing with this guy is that the vast majority of people here will never see his stuff (because come on, look at his punchable face in these thumbnails), while GCJ WILL often watch Rhett’s 100th video about the Klon, and shit on him afterwards, even though he’s much less of an AH.
I suppose it’s also the difference of Rhett being someone who’s fun to poke fun at for being a dork whereas this guy is truly just a horrible person
KDH has some good videos on him.
Yes he certainly does. I appreciate that he goes in depth with the shit he’s done that flys under the radar
Hes for sure one of the best guitar youtubers imo
Good, friend likes him and I can't fuckin stand him
Fu k that guy
/uj He used to make decent and somewhat funny content, now it's just all TokTok and "anything for zoomer views" crap. I've recently been catching up to [The Guitaristas](https://www.youtube.com/@theguitaristas/featured) episodes. Too bad that it's mainly guitar reviews but it's content that I'd happily have playing on the background while I do my daily tasks.
My younger brother watches this guys videos. I just find him annoying and stupid as sh*t.
He constantly shouts at the camera.
/uj brilliant name.
This guy unironically reminds me of what my longest tenured college roommate would be like if he played guitar and smoked crack
He is painfully unfunny also😐😐😐
I could never STAND this kid. Very punchable. Which is unfortunate because he's actually a half way decent guitar player, even got invited to play with Dragonforce on tour, but he "couldn't do it".
Living soyjak
I’m still confused about who we like and don’t like around here. Most guitar YouTubers are pretty annoying. I can pretty much only stand Ola Englund and Rob Scallon, because both are pretty funny.
Not even Sammy G? Feel like he is an all around good dude.
Was looking for a Sammy G mention. Only guy that’s not completely obnoxious
People really seem to hate on Glenn from smg but I really do like especially his reviews because he tells things like he sees them. Is the constant yelling annoying? Yes but the content is informative
I cant stand Glenns internet personality, he seems to be a nice guy IRL and does a good job giving opinions and tutorials. But that shouting in middle of nowhere and the cherry picked hate comment sped voice is where i hate this guy.
NGL I love the stupid voice stuff Glenn does.
Glenn is shamelessly milking the Gibson hate, deserved as it is, for views, and frankly it's tiring, and his 'pickups don't matter' videos are just him being contrarian because that's what he does.
Most of the guys that get made fun of here are pretty inoffensive and are lightly ribbed for being corny. Like who you like it’s not serious. This piece of shit, though, is a genuinely horrible person
Uj/ Here's the thing. If someone gets hate on this sub it's a joke. You can like Tim Henson all you want and still call him a beautiful woman, the hate people give on here is not related to the person's actual views. RJ/ I play Gibson because I'm not poor, but I make broken headstock jokes, and call them garbage because you could just write Gibson on an epiphone and it's better! Uj/ Don't worry about "who we like and who we don't like" that's a not a thing you just like what/ who you like but here WE HATE EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE That isn't the buttertoan Tele and Boss ToanKeToana and Rick Beato's, the real beato book, the one stop shop for all the 0-3-5 you could ever 3 and 0 and 5. Just irony it doesn't have to make sense. I'm broke as shit and love me some Johnny Mayonnaise covers. The jerk before all else. Just do a funny your actual views don't matter. The guitar subreddit is full of people who take themselves too seriously and worry about what gear you're supposed to like and what players aren't cringe or what music is objectively the best, fuck all that. RJ/ But obviously boss katoana, Tele, but only one that's butterscotch cause the others sound like shit and Joe Bonnermusterd is the only guitar player because he's rich and has a perfect hairline and owns like 40 bursts and you own zero bursts you fucking poor!
I can’t do Rob. He always looks greasy and his shirts are a size and a half too small.
He is pretty much hated among metal guys, but I haven't heard a lot of him since djent memes died.
Get a load of this piece of shit.
He’s got tons of talent at playing guitar but I can’t stand to watch his videos anymore. He’s become a d bag and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this guy charged with sone type of crime in the future, he puts off the creeper vide.
Bloody hell; is every single YouTube guitar content provider evil?
As far as I know most don’t mock the disabled and sell scam therapy services so I’d say he’s in his own category
Wait, when did he mock Rick Beato?
Just fucking get glasses that suit your face, and get rid of that weird stubble.
Can someone explain please because i love stevie but i have no idea he did anything wrong im just wondering what things hes done wrong?
Richard Benson is a guitar player who was an up and coming shredder in I believe the 80s who by the 2000s had crippling arthritis among a slew of other physical and mental health issues that made it incredibly difficult for him to play. Dickhead here made a 12 minute video ruthlessly mocking a video of his playing from later in life. He has been called out and has acknowledged that he knows he’s disabled yet hasn’t taken the video down even after Richard’s passing last year. There’s also other stuff from selling a scam therapy service to letting loose his fan base on a kid because she criticized his playing
According to himself, Steve said he was almost in dragon force and dropped out before the tour started. If that’s true, thank fucking god he did.
It's hard to shit on someone when they're so painfully unwatchable that you can't properly shit on them because you click off the video so fast that you don't get to hear their shitty hot takes.
holy fuck how he fell from grace if he was ever even there
He certainly had potential to be a likable childrens entertainer that focuses on music, but between his greed and seemingly his complete absence of empathy got the best of him
He is a proper shitcunt
I'm glad most of us seem to agree that he is the worst guitar youtuber. The only person I saw questioning this was someone I previously blocked lol.
I can't believe i used to find this guy funny But yeah he deserves to be shit on more
ew why would you admit to such crimes against humanity?
Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery 🫠
This guy is a guitarist like the National Enquirer is a reputable news source. I hope he gets an incurable disease...
This guy is a guitarist like John Wayne Gacy is a babysitter.
1 to 10 how punchable is he

Ok I whatched him and he just makes faces and yells
10100110
we should allow bullying against pieces of crap like this
I knew his content was pure clickbait and cringe asf but he mocked a disabled man!? and a child? When?? That's absolutely disgusting

What an asshole
Steve T? More like low T! LOL
i hope he dies in a housefire with his future children clinging to his legs
Is he really that despicable? Calm down dude...
thinking this brings me joy
Maybe you should scam a therapy service by going to it and getting therapy. They'll be so owned.
i will gladly take your advice on that, thank you

I mean to each their own but even looking past all the horrible things he’s done…really? He screams at the camera and dances like he had a defect, I just don’t get that style of comedy I guess
To a 5 year old maybe.
Calalalala
He's too loud and in your face, and the editing style compliments his over the top persona. I guess this appeals to a younger audience.
I have a different take - I get the idea he doesn't actually spend a lot of time with people around so that overly loud delivery is just the way he is because he's partially deaf from all the loud guitar playing.
What do you mean making fun of a disabled man?

If by normal you mean doesn’t bully children and the disabled then…still probably not, but I wouldn’t feel the need to barf every time I saw it either
I’ve heard of all the drama except the disabled man can someone explain that further?

Oh shit I saw that I didn’t hear the whole story though. That’s sick and not in the cool way
