Hillary and Barack, desperate on taking away our guns… my thoughts…

It’s pretty funny on how Hillary & Barack are obsessed with wanting to take our guns away. Yet Hillary has a large number of fully armed bodyguards that surrounds her everywhere she goes. The same with Barack Obama except he has fully armed Secret Service agents. Yep, it seems that “gun control” implies for everyone except for them. They refuse to protect other Americans but they are willing to protect themselves. If this doesn’t show you how egotistical Hillary and Barack both are then I don’t know what else to say.

If they’re desperate in getting rid of our guns then take away the guns of bodyguards and Secret Service Agents. Fair is fair, right?

Why blues music is really important to listen to…

Blues music is still the most underappreciated genre. Not a lot of people listen to it anymore. I’ve listened to blues music all my life. It’s one of my favorite genres other than rock n’ roll and metal. A lot of people accuse blues guitarists of “noodling” but not really. What you can’t seem to remember is that blues music is the roots of all music. All the music that you listen to out there whether it’s rock n’ roll, metal, country or even pop music all of it is blues inspired.

As a matter of fact, metal is where it came from. Metal came from the blues. When Black Sabbath invented what they called back then “heavy metal”…Tony Iommi inspired the genre ’cause he listened to a lot of blues music. Tony’s playing was always pretty bluesy. Metal came from when Tony started Sabbath off as a blues band called Earth and he inspired that Sabbathy sound from Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull who is another bluesy influenced rock band.

It’s important to listen to blues music and I’m not just talking about Eric Clapton, SRV, Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., and Hendrix. That stuff is great but forget that stuff. You want to listen to real blues like B.B. King, Albert King, Freddie King, Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, etc. The old stuff. Yeah, I think you get the deal now. I listened to all that stuff over the years of my life.

This could explain why my lead guitar playing always turns out so bluesy all the time. I would like to make rock and metal inspired guitar licks and leads but I can’t help it. My lead guitar playing always sounds pretty bluesy. I blame that on listening to too much Led Zeppelin and Hendrix probably. I also blame it on listening to other blues music.

When I first started playing guitar, I kind of wanted to learn how to be a blues guitarist. Been teaching myself blues guitar by learning from instructional books and trying to figure out leads by ear and stuff.

Someday I would honestly love to make a blues record and I will. In case you haven’t noticed a lot of my original songs I write is very blues inspired especially songs like “Evil Fred” and “Mr. Tough Guy”.

Blues music is important to listen to. It helps you learn where today’s music came from. It’ll help inspire you and blues will help you improve as a musician. Plus, blues is just badass music to listen to. I really wish blues music would get recognized more although, I do know that Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr. and John Mayer still try to keep blues music alive and well.

Will the Oscars this year be a repeat of “#OscarsSoWhite” backlash??? I’d say yes!!!

You know very well that Idris Elba is gonna get snubbed for “Beasts of No Nation” and Michael B. Jordan will probably get snubbed for “Creed”. That way Al Sharpton, Obama and the media can call the Oscars racist. You can very well believe it’ll be the same thing this year. Since Chris Rock is hosting, he’s gonna make all kinds of jokes about it for sure.

It’ll be the same old shit. Continuing to keep the country divided is what’s going on.

We really gotta change the way people discuss politics, thanks to the libtard media!!!

You can’t deny that the way people are discussing politics in this day and age under Obama is getting way out of hand. It’s gotten a lot worse. This whole “left vs. right” thing is getting worse. All this liberal bias and all this political correctness everywhere. It’s all gotta stop seriously but this is what Obama wants, though. He’s intentionally making it this way. He’s purposefully angering Americans. He wants the “right vs. left” to have an all-out war which is what he’s successful at.

We would have more intelligent and mature debates if the left would stop being “politically correct” on things. I would love to continue to have intelligent debates with liberals but when they disagree with you… all they wanna do is call you names like: racists, bigots, conspiracy theorist and whatever else they come up with these days. So this is why liberals deserve that name “libtard” for every reason.

The way people debate politics these days under Obama is undeniably horrible. The problem is that liberals are pretty one-sided people. I can’t stand it. People would accuse me of being one-sided but I’m not at all ’cause I don’t like George W. Bush either and I’m not a fan of the GOP as well.

Liberals treated me like a pile of garbage over the last 7 years under Obama and it’s just amazing, ya know?

I totally blame the mainstream media and the Obama admin. on all of this, though ’cause this is what they want. They want debates to get heated and controversial which is why they do what they do. It’s part of their goal in destroying America.

This is why we need Donald Trump in office so we can look at the world in a more honest direction. Time to put the PC Crowd to an end.

Why is it that you never hear Bill Clinton talk about women’s issues and problems???

1915781_1652215935031461_7868589580567174349_n

I can’t wait to see Donald Trump battle it out with Hillary during the debates in the General Elections. Do you honestly believe that Hillary has what it takes to handle Donald Trump? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, just wait until Hillary goes face to face with Trump during the upcoming debates. I warn you that Donald Trump is gonna destroy Hillary hard. She’s gonna lose this election. If you think Hillary has what it takes to defeat Donald Trump, oh man, you’re so delusional.

When Trump goes face to face with her, he’s going bring up Bill’s past history of sexual assault with women and I can’t wait until he does. That’s gonna wreck Hillary right there.

I never see Bill Clinton bringing up women’s issue and this “War on Women” crap. Why do you never see Bill talking about this stuff? Is it because he knows it’ll make himself look like a hypocrite? Is this why Hillary is always talking about women’s issues instead of Bill?

I know dumb liberals are going off thinking that Hillary has what it takes to beat the Donald but no way. The Donald is gonna destroy this woman so hard that he’s gonna make her step-down. That’s how he’s gonna win. She’ll quit like the last time she ran for president.

Hey George R.R. Martin, take your time with “Winds of Winter” and make it great!

People are still begging George R.R. Martin to release book 6 of the Game of Thrones book series titled, the “Winds of Winter”. Fans and critics are complaining that George is taking way too long.

http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/01/george-rr-martin-no-winds-of-winter-before-season-6

Well I’d say, he should take as long as he takes! I give a lot of kudos to George for taking his time because maybe he wants the next book to be really good? I’ve read all the books so far and saw all the seasons of the TV show. Well, I still haven’t seen GOT “Season 5” yet which will come out on DVD/BluRay later this year.

I’m still a huge GOT fanatic and I can’t wait for the next book but I’m being patient. Other people should be patient too. Let him make it a really good one. He just wants to take his time with it.

The thing with writing books is writers don’t finish stories just because their fans want them to finish it. The story itself finishes on its own. It’s all up to the story on whether it wants to end or not. Just be patient and George will be done with the book whenever he’s ready to be done.

Will I ever buy an expensive guitar someday? Like a guitar that costs a thousand dollars or more???

Yes, someday I would indeed. I would buy a guitar whether acoustic or electric that would cost a thousand dollars or more. Same with amplifiers. Someday I will make my dream come true and buy really expensive gear.

I’ve always wanted to get a Gibson Les Paul and a half Marshall stack. Someday, if I get lucky enough… I will make my dream come true and get that kind of gear. I also wanna get myself a Fender strat. I will one day graduate to more professional instruments and gear.

For now, I just stick with affordable equipment.

I do love buying guitars and other music gear. I do when I can. I wanna start a pedal collection at some point this year too. The first pedal I’ll get is a fuzz pedal ’cause I really want one of those.

On top of that, I’m planning on getting a new guitar very soon. Hopefully even this weekend ’cause I’m planning on buying a guitar that’s arounds the $200 – $300 price range. Gonna make monthly payments on it. When I get the new guitar and when I find one, I’ll post photos and videos. I’m just gonna get a regular acoustic. Not acoustic/electric this time. Just a regular acoustic without those built-in electronics.

I got new recording equipment and will soon be getting a new acoustic. When I get that new acoustic, I’ll start writing and recording again. My new home studio setup is just about complete.

If I were to release my debut album, I’d probably release it for free on bandcamp…

I’m gonna start writing and recording again soon. My plans for the debut album? Well, I’m planning on re-recording a lot of my older songs. Thinking it might be a double album. One side will be all new original songs and the other side will be a greatest hits kind of thing. The other side will be my older songs that I plan on re-recording so I can make them sound even better. Yes, I plan on bringing back a lot of my older songs including: “Evil Fred”, “Mr. Tough Guy”, “Time Bomb” and many others.

This will be an online only release so I’m probably just gonna drop it for free on bandcamp. A lot of unsigned and local acts has been doing that. Dropping their albums for free on bandcamp so I’m thinking of doing the same thing. I will come up with a title for it and will have a cover designed for it and all that stuff. Once I get all the songs recorded and finished, I’ll probably send it away for “copyright” before I release it all which is a pretty good idea.

I’m itching to get more music out ’cause I’ll admit, I haven’t done this in a while and wanna get back into it.

I want my first album to happen and it will. I know I keep promising this every year but I kind of wanna take my time with it and hopefully make the best album possible. Make it something special.

Do “Black Lives Matter” or not? Libtards hating on Bill Cosby is racist…

1385597_753877261384337_3660327779360627242_n

For the past years of Obama’s presidency, liberals jerk themselves off with the “Black Lives Matter” movement. They shout “Black Lives Matter” each time a black person gets in trouble. Well Bill Cosby is black and he’s in trouble with the law. So what gives, folks?

I’m not defending Bill Cosby or anything as I think the guy deserves all the backlash he’s getting but it’s pretty funny how libtards go from defending Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray to hating on Bill Cosby all of a sudden.

Aren’t liberals the one who get offended all the time when black people get picked on? Don’t they shout racist at everything? These are the same loser jackasses who call people racist for hating on Barack Obama and now libtards are hating on Bill Cosby. So what gives, huh? Who are the racists now, you idiots.
