I never wanted to be a famous anything... I just dreamed of getting a good job in something related to my career...these days even that seems to be too much
Suppose the fluoride-head king lovers are Intoxicated on fluoride Is the reason they worship the Illuminati government but The Holy Bible says God will send them strong delusion because of their Un-Belief. the fluoride-head king lovers put on the biggest Jesus religious ritual circus In the world but the more You lean about them It become obvious Its Not Jesus what they believe In.
The more Spiritual You are the more You will hate lies, I went to a ghost town school that was full of fluoride-head king lovers & I quit at 16 because they were so hateful. At 17 I became more Spiritual & knew I wanted to be A Heavy metal Christian Musician of course None of My relatives supported Me, Around 1998 Jesus told Me to take orders from No one & Taught Me some Foundation. So now these fluoride-head king lovers are Not just doing It against Me but also The Holy Ghost
The more You learn about fluoride-head king lovers the more You will hate them & hopefully some day You will send Micheal Myers after them which Is what God Is waiting for You to do. What You should do first Is lean to live off the land which You have A God given Right to do, then do what makes You happy. the fluoride-head king lovers are the children of satan the devil & they want You to be a slave to their Illuminati government & If You do Not have a ged at 18 No second chance Its their shit.
What you're talking about is different than saying do what you feel, invent, sing, etc And the reality of whether or not you can make it to stardom. that market is heavily controlled. if you dont sign certain contracts, or sacrifice beliefs, they dont let you in. I know from first hand experience. If you like music, play for that, not fame or money. Because the fun is gone when it becomes a chore & against your purpose.
She was the first truly manufactured (and probably MK'd) celeb and the template for every subsequent manufactured pop/ movie star used by the industry to destroy art and culture and create the shallow, wannabe, narcissistic, ego, material bullshit aspirations of most young people.
The alternative music scene has been just as corrupted, from hippie to rock, punk, grunge, goth, emo - it all stems from the same social engineering.
Music is a very powerful and amazing thing. Most musicians today dont have an original thought or idea. It sounds like you ve got things going on and at 30 thats great. One thing Ive learned about the business of music is that it is fleeting, the fame, the money, the friends. Im 38 now and I have a wife and son and I never really achieved the level of success I had built in my mind and my heart but I still compose music and collaborate with friends and family. I changed and thats ok. Ive grown.
this is a tadpole who made it into a toad and tells all the other millions of tadpoles perishing in the pond that there is nothing wrong with the system that allowed him to become a toad.
Bro, it seems to me you want to be a rock star and will do whatever it takes, perhaps this is where the problem lies. Why dont you focus on the music, never mind about selling out stadiums and the glory and groupies etc. If your music is something that comes from a real part of you, an honest part of you where you truly feel inspired by your sound/art then nothing else matters. It kinda sounds like the cart (rockstar dreams, fame, sex) leading the horse (genuine art), get your priorities right.
Aw I'd never say that. Everyone should do whatever they like the best. Like I tried all kinds of paths thinking I wasn't smart enough to be a scientist, and then I finally ended up in a science program at my school--and I loveeee it even though 1) it's hard, and 2) it's not really a "safe" career like what I was doing before (nursing)
This is inspirational man, I'm 15 and practice with my band around 6 hours a week, 20 plus by myself. My parents embrace my musicality, but seem to put down the idea of living with it. They always tell me school is more important in my life, but I always ask myself: should I put what I hate before what I love? I appreciate this a ton, you've inspired me, I now fully intend on "going big."
Stephen you've hit on so many key points, excellent video BTW. We were just talking about this on your facebook page too and this video covers it all about doing what you love. You have so much insight for your age, I'm blown away by it. When Trike come to Australia I'd love to see one of your shows, they look like heaps of fun. Your message here is very inspirational, you have reminded an old guy that it's not too late at all, plus I like your music, so thank you. - Steve.
JUST LISTENED TO A COUPLE OF YOUR SONGS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY ASS CAN FART BETTER MUSIC THAN YOU MAKE. F-TARDS! AND COULD YOU SMOKE SOME MORE DRUGS PLEASE, I'M HOPING YOU'LL O.D. SO AS TO NEVER HEAR THIS SHIT AGAIN!
@nvisionmd i've been making a living off of music for five years. we're signed to a label and very happy. pity your life sucks... maybe it's because you don't have a penis... i don't know...
I am so proud of you. SO proud. I'm glad I know you, Stephen. You are a great friend, and very supportive. You're one of the very few to check up on me (about 3 or 4 people including you) while I was gone in my weird phase-like thingy, and you've checked on a few occasions. I can't think of a nicer person then you, and you deserve all the success you have found, plus more. I'm glad you didn't give up. I think you have some of the most unique music in the world, and your music needs to be heard.
@OkieMerrod83 Thanks man. This comment really made me feel good. Truthfully, it is difficult to find and maintain an audience and it's not always easy. It's good to know that there are great people like you out there who are very supportive and awesome. You don't give up either, my friend :)
@trikevlogs Unfortunately I think I have given up. I've made my mind up about that this week. I don't particularly like it, but it is what it is. But the thing is that your not following in my shoes and your making a name for yourself. That makes me happy. :)
@OkieMerrod83 I understand, man. It's not for everyone. I have often thought of giving up too. It's hard, this youtube thing. It's hard to get people to follow you. People always change and decide to move on... people are fickle. If you don't do "topical" videos it's harder to really get a following etc. etc... It erks me to no end sometimes. That being said, Trike still goes on... I always appreciate your support brother. Do what you need to do.
@trikevlogs Thanks. I appreciate it. I dunno, man. I've been depressed lately and even tho I love making videos I think I suck at it. I can't get most ppl to say hi to me on YT, let alone have them watch my stuff. I feel like most ppl hate me. lol. :/ But your positivity, and this video, is inspiring. Maybe i'll re-evaluate things. I don't wanna quit. The idea terrifies me. I'd only be letting myself down. I can't be a loser in my own eyes. Thanks for inspiring me to keep up the good fight.
@OkieMerrod83 I doubt anyone hates you. I think if you don't want to quit and you love making videos, you should just do it. I also have issues with yt. We lost a lot of viewers over the last year... we seemed to have a lot of teenage fans, but most of them just stopped watching and commenting. Getting views for me is harder than before. You really have to pimp out your stuff, it seems. That being said, I still love making vidoes and have to have faith that even if (cont)
@OkieMerrod83 (cont) there is a lull, things will hopefully bounce back and keep growing. as long as i keep making videos that I like, I have to hope that people will just catch on. But if you love it, do it... that's a no-brainer ;)
lovely philosophy and you are really brave for making that decision. you guys are awesome and I am glad I found you, you have given me lots of smiles <3
The negative people that are telling you to get a real job or whatever aren't jealous of you, they aren't trying to hold you down, and they aren't 'haters.' They're the ones looking out for your best interests, because the VAST majority of people who try to make a living as an artist fail miserably, even the talented ones. I'm happy that wasn't the case for the guy who made this video, but it is the case for most people. At least have a backup plan lol
@trikevlogs Well yeah, they end up being what people do after they fail to achieve their dreams of being an artist. And since most of the people who try to make it in music or visual arts fail, it doesn't hurt to have a backup.
@cujagu Well, I suppose it depends. If they actually have talent and when they do their thing (whatever it is) people respond really really well, I would say scrap the backup plan and just throw yourself into it. If you totally suck, a backup plan would be useful.
Good for you! You have a talent and you are pursuing it fully. My talents are more obscure and undefined I guess, but i am following my desires thru YT and an upcoming website (someday!), and am expressing my creativity there. My dark side (negativity from within), I agree we all have it, and its a struggle to battle it at times.
This is probably one of the most inspirational videos I've seen in a while. I'm also trying to pursue a music career. My band is currently writing in the studio. We don't listen to the negative people who say we can't make it. Thanks so much for this video.
We'd be all better off as individuals if we took your advice on board. I know personally I would be if I had the courage to pursue the things that I wanna do. You are artist and a man of knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Thank YOU!! Its so easy to forget sometimes how lucky I am to do what I love for a living. Its never easy but if it was everyone would be doing this and you are right, its about determination and thats it. Anyone that believes in themselves can be doing something that they love to do. Also its not even about what is coming, living for a dream is the best part of all of it. Its hard to remember that.
I wish I had the guts to do what you do man. You and Xania are inspiring to me. I had a band going for a bit. We played some shows, but half the band moved in the summer and it's been hard getting new stuff together. What you do helps me keep going. Thanks!!!
I am 90 years old can barely walk with pain all over my body and depressed, I guess my choice is to sit here and wait for the big one so don’t stop bitches lol… All kidding aside you guys rock thanks for all the memberable moments deep from the hart :)
I agree with you to a point but sometimes our aspirations must be put aside (even temporarily) because the people you care about depend on you doing something that may not be creative or fun but you do it because your love for those people is bigger than your desire to express your creativity.Its not always fear that stops people from following their dreams but a responsibility to the welfare of others.
Nothing comes without sacrifice.
PS. its good to see you happy and reaping good vibes.
I'm planning on taking the same path as you. But its hard getting big in a technical metal band. It's what I want more than anything. I'd kill to be in your position five years from now.
@CaptainPie5 Put your mind to it. It'll happen. We're not big yet but we've had enough wonderful and epic moments that all sprouted from the single thought to keep going no matter what. Obstacles are just challenges. Plus, there is definitely a market out there for technical metal. You just gotta find the audience (or let them find you)
Don't cry sweetheart; you have a light that never goes out. You. Fucking. Rule. This is one of the most inspiring videos on YouTube. I freaking love Trike. "There is no boat to miss." The only boat to miss is NOT doing what you want out of fear. Great message Stephen. You are LOVED for a reason. Keep kicking ass! And for the record, The Doors (Jim Morrison) lived on a rooftop BROKE in the beginning too.... and they're one of the biggest [most talented] bands ever. ((hugs)) Your friend, Amy Lou
@GutterDoll138 And you quoted Morrissey! Awesomeness. Yeah, I remember from the movie The Doors that he was in dire straits in the beginning... very true. There are many inspiring stories out there... if (when) we get big we will definitely have a crazy story to tell! xoxox
@trikevlogs Yep. I knew you'd catch that; being the rabid Morrissey fans we are! ;) You guys amazing and its these stories in particular, that you have to remember...and hold dear. Keep On Truckin' SPT!!! <3
Dude , you made me push to actually continue my journey to becoming an artist :) Well done in your band aswell ! Maybe you could hook me up so i can be noticed? :P
This video was seriously touching, and so true! Wise words! I definitely know how that is, it's a constant struggle, but you have to never give up! Your awesome, and talented! Keep it up! =)
I've got a bunch of people here supporting me now and Its an amazing feeling. I've always felt like there is more to life then working a dead end job living paycheck to paycheck, and as xanny put it jobs just make me feel so Soul-less... not that I'm above working one, Its just nobody in this town is giving me the chance. so I'm going to keep on working on what I am cause not matter what I have control over this. I'm sick of feeling like a have no control in my life. I love this video so much.
Stephen... I wanted so badly to make a video response but I just can't seem to find my camera fast enough. SO I just write a comment. I use to have so many doubts. Like am I cut out for youtube? etc. But I over came that. Why not me, and there is no chance unless I take one. I feel allot more confident about making videos, I set up a goal for myself to keep my motivation going and so far its working, I want to make weekly videos for a year. I'm 4 months done so far as of today <3 I
@trikevlogs I really wanted to. But I wanted to be genuine and just turn on and film my first reaction to this video. I really like it. Your awesome keep up with what you're doing.
Now that our kids are grown and moved out I'd like to try what I've always wanted to do. Lead singer for a rock band. Don't know how well I'd do at it and not sure how good my voice is but....won't know unless I try.
I admire you both for making that decision you are both very talented. I have never been a risk taker I realise now that I've spent too much time doing what other people want me to do. You are very inspirational.
@cheekychickenhead Thanks so much! I've learned a lot in the last few years and the how much you can accompllish when you just free yourself from fear is astonishing...
Awesome video!! yay! Follow your highest excitement and every thing will fall into place! You're a great example of how to live! Thank you for sharing!
Congratulations to you for getting yourself in a place that you want to be, but a whole lot of what you say in this video is bullshit. You talk as though most people in the world disagree with your worldview. That's bullshit. Western teachers and parents are constantly telling lazy, talentless little turds that they can do or be anything. Children are bombarded with romantic affirmations to pursue their dreams. The only thing that gets in the way is reality.
@Platyzoan Oh come on. I have been around. I've met many many people who have talent but don't pursue a career doing what they love. They also surround themselves with people who only reaffirm their negativity. I've met many many people... however, I also think the true enemy is ourselves, more than anyone else. My parents knew I had talent as a child yet they never ever thought of convincing me to get into the arts. I also meet dozens of people whose parents do the same. Gimme a break.
@trikevlogs You say that your parents never thought of "convincing" you to get into the arts, but I doubt that they forbade it. You may not have gotten the encouragment that you wanted, but the general stance of western parents is that their kids have the freedom to pursue whatever they want. I am not saying this is bad, but it is what I have observed. BTW, my own 10-year-old daughter is an amazingly talented pianist. She has no one telling her she can't pursue a career in that field.
@Platyzoan No, they didn't forbid it, but they didn't encourage it, thinking I should be sensible and get a proper job. My dad and I almost got into a fistfight once over it... That's great about your daughter though...
I am so happy I started a channel and started subbing people and found you, until I became a part of Youtube I had no idea what I was really missing with people and the talent like you have. I am so happy for you I am happy to see all this talent others have and are sharing on here. I love your videos and look forward to each one! Love you and Xania!
Not many people actually follow their dreams .. you should be proud of yourselves that you have. You're doing something you love, even if it doesn't fill your pockets! Too many people focus on money rather than happiness!
I never wanted to be a famous anything... I just dreamed of getting a good job in something related to my career...these days even that seems to be too much

I agree with you to a point but sometimes our aspirations must be put aside (even temporarily) because the people you care about depend on you doing something that may not be creative or fun but you do it because your love for those people is bigger than your desire to express your creativity.Its not always fear that stops people from following their dreams but a responsibility to the welfare of others.
Nothing comes without sacrifice.
PS. its good to see you happy and reaping good vibes.

@CurrentlyDisconected That's true. Sometimes we do have to make sacrifices I suppose. I've had to make sacrifices to do this as well.

I'm planning on taking the same path as you. But its hard getting big in a technical metal band. It's what I want more than anything. I'd kill to be in your position five years from now.
CaptainPie5 3 months ago
@CaptainPie5 Put your mind to it. It'll happen. We're not big yet but we've had enough wonderful and epic moments that all sprouted from the single thought to keep going no matter what. Obstacles are just challenges. Plus, there is definitely a market out there for technical metal. You just gotta find the audience (or let them find you)

Don't cry sweetheart; you have a light that never goes out. You. Fucking. Rule. This is one of the most inspiring videos on YouTube. I freaking love Trike. "There is no boat to miss." The only boat to miss is NOT doing what you want out of fear. Great message Stephen. You are LOVED for a reason. Keep kicking ass! And for the record, The Doors (Jim Morrison) lived on a rooftop BROKE in the beginning too.... and they're one of the biggest [most talented] bands ever. ((hugs)) Your friend, Amy Lou

I've got a bunch of people here supporting me now and Its an amazing feeling. I've always felt like there is more to life then working a dead end job living paycheck to paycheck, and as xanny put it jobs just make me feel so Soul-less... not that I'm above working one, Its just nobody in this town is giving me the chance. so I'm going to keep on working on what I am cause not matter what I have control over this. I'm sick of feeling like a have no control in my life. I love this video so much.

Stephen... I wanted so badly to make a video response but I just can't seem to find my camera fast enough. SO I just write a comment. I use to have so many doubts. Like am I cut out for youtube? etc. But I over came that. Why not me, and there is no chance unless I take one. I feel allot more confident about making videos, I set up a goal for myself to keep my motivation going and so far its working, I want to make weekly videos for a year. I'm 4 months done so far as of today <3 I

Congratulations to you for getting yourself in a place that you want to be, but a whole lot of what you say in this video is bullshit. You talk as though most people in the world disagree with your worldview. That's bullshit. Western teachers and parents are constantly telling lazy, talentless little turds that they can do or be anything. Children are bombarded with romantic affirmations to pursue their dreams. The only thing that gets in the way is reality.
Platyzoan 3 months ago
@Platyzoan Oh come on. I have been around. I've met many many people who have talent but don't pursue a career doing what they love. They also surround themselves with people who only reaffirm their negativity. I've met many many people... however, I also think the true enemy is ourselves, more than anyone else. My parents knew I had talent as a child yet they never ever thought of convincing me to get into the arts. I also meet dozens of people whose parents do the same. Gimme a break.
trikevlogs 3 months ago
@trikevlogs You say that your parents never thought of "convincing" you to get into the arts, but I doubt that they forbade it. You may not have gotten the encouragment that you wanted, but the general stance of western parents is that their kids have the freedom to pursue whatever they want. I am not saying this is bad, but it is what I have observed. BTW, my own 10-year-old daughter is an amazingly talented pianist. She has no one telling her she can't pursue a career in that field.
Platyzoan 3 months ago
@Platyzoan No, they didn't forbid it, but they didn't encourage it, thinking I should be sensible and get a proper job. My dad and I almost got into a fistfight once over it... That's great about your daughter though...
