Hey guys, the KISS Retrospective is getting reuploaded. The infamous Curt Gooch noticed that there was 3 seconds of footage that he claims to own so he laid a pending strike on the video, threatened to delete my channel, and threatened to sue me lol.

The guy is a total copyright bully (in my opinion) and I do not want to deal with his bs. Expect the video back within a day or so.

Hey all, I've been thinking about doing the occasional gaming stream. Just casually playing through a game, nothing fancy. Just an excuse to hang out with you guys. I have a hard time playing games because I always feel like I'm wasting time, so I think streaming would be really great.

Would you be down?

So long story short: the channel got hacked, I got it back, and thats why the latest video on the new Megadeth album has taken so long.

It'll be up tomorrow.

Hey all, thanks for the kind words of my post the other day. In a new installment in me trying to make rent, I have introduced a new Patreon and YT Memberships tier. This one has the same as all the other tiers but you get spoken aloud shout outs at the end of videos. It roughly equates to $17 USD from 25$ AUD. I am currently nearing the completion of two new videos so act fast if you want me to say your name lol. As usual it is cheaper on Patreon because YouTube takes a far bigger cut.

Also as usual, there's absolutely no pressure to do so, and I have a great support system who can pick me up if I fall. This option is only there if you want it.

Also I have included a 7 day free trial option on Patreon for the lower tier if you are interested!

Hey guys, I'm gonna be very real here. I am incredibly broke right now. This channel is my main source of income, and while it is not nothing, and I am super grateful to have it, I cannot live on it. I was recently offered an investment deal: they would essentially pay my rent and then some, but I would need to clean up my videos A LOT. Meaning no more swearing, edgy humour, hell even reviewing bands like Samhain would be risky because of its relation to the occult and stuff like that. And that's a bridge too far for me. I have cultivated an audience based on my personality and being a real person with you guys, not some squeaky clean advertisers delight.

Something a friend of mine has suggested is adding a 1$ tier to YT members and Patreon that has all of my uncensored videos, and editing the public versions to remove swearing and harsh stuff. But I am incredibly mixed on that as well. I don't want to paywall what was once free, even if it is cheap. This is an option that I am unfortunately considering, though.

In the meantime, if you'd like to help, then feel free to sign up on Patreon/ Youtube Memberships, leave a "super thanks", or even just watch the videos and tell your friends about the channel. That stuff helps so much, it's unreal. I'm also looking into sponsorships and stuff like that.

But please don't feel like you have to. While money may be tight, I am lucky to have a great family and people around me who can help. And it is possible that I can find an actual job at some point soon, I by no means believe I am above it. But the market is incredibly tough at the moment.

Thanks for reading and helping me get as far as I have. If not for your support, then I would be in a much worse situation. Love you, guys.
