just do more ITWPI stuff and fixing songs. like you dont bring me flower ft. jim carrey, fix crappy guitar cover.. or how to be ed sheeran. or top 10 good/worst band, something like that.
Richard Benson died in May 2022. There is a long and tragic story about him. He was a good guitarist with Duello Madre and other music productions. He was also an actor and a music lover
Well, regarding Richard Benson ..at least you owned up to being a fuckwit. Even though I know full well you did it because of the avalanche of hate your ill-informed little video accrued. And you know which side your bread is buttered. Still, good work...
Steve you are such a genuine and humble person. I love your annual serious talk sessions, especially when you add some guitar. We all regret things that we have done, and although it would be nice to go back and maybe do things differenty, in reality we know that can't happen, so we learn from it and move on to the next undertaking. You are right when you say that history cannot not be erased. We embrace it and make it better. Steve don't forget that when you do a video it takes time cause you do everything yourself, and that my boy is a load ton of work. Dad and I love you unconditionally and are very proud of you and we know your followers feel the same.
Your opinion on me is biased!!! Jk. I definitely feel the need to do a video like this every once in a while. The sponsors wanted me to give them a shredemption, so that was the perfect excuse to throw a guitar solo in the vid! Thanks for everything you guys do for me! 😃
Dont regret the Dragon Force decision. You did what was right at the time. And you came clean with why you couldn't do it and that probably really helped a lot of people. It took a lot of courage to share that.
Now that the crazy faces are a lot less excessive he has actually become q lot funnier. His video were he listens to the top 10 is my favourite he's done so far.
Just throwing this out there, I think DragonForce should hire you as a session guitarist, strictly in the studio. You have awesome chemistry with Herman Li, and I think you two could definitely collaborate on recording an album together.
People would want that sound live. So capturing it would be incredibly difficult. That’s what The Beach Boys did with Brian Wilson one of the most iconic albums ever Pet Sounds sold off the shelf like crazy, but when it came to the album being live it wasn’t the same. Studios are about dead, with all the technology there is today Steve could literally play a guitar part send it in and they could cut and paste directly into the song. Kinda like adding in drum samples. I would say if this was the early 90s sure but not in the present day.
Steve I am a 54 year old army vet with ptsd, severe social anxiety, depression disorder. I have days I can’t leave my bedroom, let alone the house. I couldn’t do what you do for anything. Even thinking about getting in front of the camera terrifies me. You’ve got such a unique gift. Your personality, guitar playing, sense of humor are outstanding. I’m thinking of doing my life long dream because of you. Always wanted to learn blues, blues rock guitar. Weirdly I’m a 80s metal head but blues touches my tortured soul. The amount of courage you just showed is amazing, everyone has regrets, damn few of us open our souls to share them. All of us here support you, just be you that’s all we need. Who knows what’s around the corner, whatever it is you’ll be stronger and more prepared to meet it. God bless my friend.
So you went to fight Sadam I guess? I hope I don't trigger anything with that question. I find it very brave to tell about your condition and hope that you'll get the best of it. I hope that was correct, english isn't my nativ language. What are you working on right now on guitar? Inspired through the video I will try that "Muse" song. ^^ Have a good day Sir! :)
I think that you should persue that dream. My step-dad that gave up on guitar when he was 10 But he started a year ago and now he's 58. He Plays guitar for fun and I think you can do it, with practice and a bit of theory you're gonna play blues like a chief. I also play guitar and i've been playing since I was 7 and understand that the First few months are gonna be Hard But you Just have to go push and push. And i believe in you, guitar is amazing and you should do it. (sorry some correcting mistakes since english isn't my First language)
Hi, I stumbled on this searching for Richard Benson. I probably left a big comment on that older video of yours too. He passed away last year, sadly. As a big fan of his, I appreciate your expression of regret; I wish you and other people from around the world could know how big and meaningful of an underground phenomenon he was in Italy (and Rome in particular) in his time for metal fans. He had a show and would promote so many bands on TV. He kept developing and working on his showman character to entertain where he couldn't with his music, but his knowledge and passion for music would always come through gallantly. Have a great day whoever's reading this
Your personality makes the channel intersting, and your insane talent for music just pumps it up in a major way. I personally would love to see more things like your billy eyelash cover with anthony. That video for me was just incredible, you took a song that i would never have listened to and made me listen to it 5x in a row. Thats something special. Definatly do more work with that man if you get the opportunity.
Steven my opinion comes from me personally knowing you beyond youtube. You are one of the kindest people that I know. IF you thought for one second something would hurt someone you would NEVER do it or say it. You are a comedian as much as an amazing musician. We have all come to look forward to your silliness just as much as your musical talent!!! KEEP ON Making music....and making people smile Steve. That is what you were put here on earth to do...make us smile.
You are the best Lori! It takes a true genuine person to know one. You bring happiness to peoples lives more than you even know. And you always deliver on baked yumminess!! 😃
@@SteveTerreberry would you ever do another most disturbing music videos list,if so I would recommend checking out Radiohead's music video for knives out
For me you are doing a great job, no regrets, it is what it is and we learn sometimes more by our mistakes rather than our success. Regarding Dragonforce I don’t think you did it wrong. Perhaps you shall start your own band.
Types of videos I want you to do Steve:- 1. How to be (certain artist/band). 2. Song reviews. 3. Funny skits (kinda like the videos from Music is Win or Jared dines and trust me those blow up.) 4. Cool guitar effects and tricks. 5. Random messing around at guitar stores. Side note :- You should probably get a person to help you with the videos from filming to editing and all that stuff.
Stevie, never regret your goofiness, theres a lot of good guitar players, but making people laugh is not a common gift, and boy do we need some laughs these days!!!. Just keep being you and dont stop shredding.
His eyes tearing up at the end when talking about how depression held him back was heartbreaking. Steve, I won’t say “be strong” or “it’ll all be ok” or “don’t worry about those regrets.” Because that’s exactly what I wouldn’t need to hear at that moment. Instead, please know that you’ve had an impact on people, regrets or not. You know how much smiling means to someone in the depths of depression, and you have provided those smiles.
I can tell by your comment that you have been there as well. It feels like your life force is being sucked from you... Just leaving this hollow shell.. Great comment.
Absolutely great comment. I totally agree with all that, especially at the end..I've been there too,and coming here to watch Stevie T. has actually lifted me up💜
@@wesleyAlan9179 certainly. He's hilarious and very talented. His sweep picking video helped me smooth my sweep picking. Before watching, it was quite sloppy every time. I can alternate pick, tap, and all that. Sweep picking was still kicking my ass though.
@@skylarmccloud4080 Word Skylar! I got inspired by him to take my playing to a different level, and its brought me so much strength and happiness. All thanks to Stevie. Good for you friend!
Aww, Steve. ((hugs))We all have regrets and make mistakes, but being able to admit those is a sign of maturity and integrity. I remember seeing the Dragonforce video the day it came out and as you talked about your anxiety, I could completely relate to what you were saying. I just wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. 😄 But, please don’t allow regrets to eat you up. Confront your fears and there won’t be any room left for regret to take a foothold. Lots of love! 💕
Thanks so much for saying so, Sarah! The Dragonforce thing was a once in a lifetime opportunity. So it's definitely hard to look past that one. BUT it could also be proof that I'm 100% doing what I should be doing. Virtual hugs right back at ya! 🤗
@@SteveTerreberry if you weren't in a great place, maybe that wouldn't have worked out, so I think you made the right choice after all. You could never know
@@SteveTerreberry I do understand you.. But if you would decided to join them .. we probably would not have you here.. I remember you saying "I decided to be here for you" (maybe not exactly like that.. but the idea is same) And you are.. you are here for us and we do appreciate it so so much Everithing bad is good for something.. Do not regret.. this is your way now and you should be proud of yourself Thank you so much for your work and entertainment I am glad that you are still with us ☺️ Love from Czechia
@@SteveTerreberry You don't know the DragonForce thing was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who knows what else my come up. You made a decision that you thought was right.
I would love to see more of the "How to be [insert band name]"-videos, I really enjoyed them, and they were also (maybe unintentionally) like music creation tutorials in how a song is built and how the artist may have thought in the writing progress. I acctually learned something and that's why I loved (and still love) watching them 🙂
"Instead of erasing history, I learn from it." The best route for change isn't pretending previous mistakes didn't happen, but recognizing and growing from them. Regardless of what they are, mistakes shape our character, for better or worse. Keep growing Steve, you rock!
That's how I felt about all those southern statues they tore down. Like they dont mean anything to us today but they showed what was wrong with our past.
What about a "but better" series where you take established songs (maybe community voted) and redo them entirely in your own style? You could even collab with other people. I know that would be a ton of work, but also really fun. It'd be a nice monthly or bimonthly treat. Until we demand more. Weekly. And then more. It will never end. We will own your soul, Stevie. Your. Soul. Anyway, I think it'd make a great series. Think about it! Do it. No regrets...
Oh and I also agree that the “How To Be (whoever)” videos are a good venue for you. It shows your musical ability as well as comedic. I’m not great at titles and algorithms, but if it’s anything like TikTok (and it seems to be), it’s all about using trending keywords even if they have nothing to do with the video. Freaking algorithms man.
Around the time you turned down Dragonforce, I was struggling with anxiety and depression. I was finishing my contract as a postdoctoral researcher and had to decide if I wanted to renew, find a similar job elsewhere, or look for other options. Academia was eating me alive and I felt miserable, so in the end I chose the third option, even though research was my dream job for a long time. Then I heard about your decision and actually felt much better about mine. You put your mental health first and that’s not a common thing to do, specially in highly competitive environments. I still regret it sometimes, but now I’m stronger and more stable, and eventually found a good opportunity. I’m sure you will be touring with an awesome band eventually and, more importantly, you will be able to enjoy every moment of it. Thank you for your content and inspiration, man! You do way more than you think.
I would love to see you do a "What if Stevie T was in ___" and act out how you would get along with people in like Black Sabbath for instance. And then take one of their songs and solo over it! I think that would be fun! Thank you for everything you do Stevie! You're yourself and you make so many people's day. Thank you for adding some comedy into a niche of UA-cam where it seems to be taken a little too seriously! Love you bud
“Instead of erasing history, I learned from it” A sign of an actual smart person. I absolutely love your videos and it’s good to know you’re just as cool in real life. I also want a full Stevie uncensored compilation after seeing the thumbnail😂😂
I just scrolled through the comments on that PewDiePie video and I only see positivity. I remember it and if you're demographic is so sensitive that they bail on that then they aren't your real supporters Stevie. We love you man. Millions of us genuinely care. I feel like you're getting older and you're just reflecting in a way we cannot because our lives aren't online to be viewed and analysed on. To me you're a comedian and a phenomenal musician. Please don't regret these things, apart from 2 factor authentication. ❤️
It was a predisposition based video, I’d assume a lot of pewdiepie fans clicked on that video. He could have increased his sub base which is probably why he regrets putting that as in that video. His fans are already used to him advertising ball razors
@@fianna582 that's the thing though, most of pewdiepies audience is quite literally made up of children. A good portion of his adult fans still act like children too.
I'm sure they weren't regular viewers they were probably casual viewers who don't watch Steve and they clicked for PewDiePie and were immediately turned off by the sponsor of Penguinz0's wall.
Well I don't know exactly how well they did but I really loved the "How to write a song in this band's style" videos, as those are fun to watch since we can all laugh about certain traits each band has while experiencing your amazing musical talent. Also those are quite educational in most cases and might actually help musicians find their very own style.
Steve, tbf bro, if you had gone to that tour, and let’s say you’re Anxiety fucked it up, you would have fallen to a deep depression. You did the save choice, right now 2 weeks seem fast, but with bad anxiety, 2 weeks feel like 2 years. 🤘🏼You got this bro.
Stevie dude, everyone makes mistakes so don't beat yourself up. You're one of the most honest and genuine UA-camrs there is and your content is honestly the best in it's entire category 💯 For the last 3 years your video's have literally saved me from depression and anxiety and I couldn't thank you enough ❤️ with how great you are you can make mistakes dude, it's no biggie.
Except accepting a sponsorship is not a mistake. Honestly, people who decided to stop watching because they'd rather watch a raid shadow legends ad instead of the adult one are the one making a mistake. Grow up and stop carrying about sponsorships.
I really wish you wouldn't regret passing on the tour. Mental health is so much more important. I think you did the right thing. As for what kinda videos to do, I love your "How to be (artist)" stuff. The Ed Sheeran one is my favourite.
Dude, everyone makes decisions they regret sometimes. You’re such a genuine guy and it takes a lot to reflect on your mistakes instead of just “apologizing” when faced with scrutiny. You’re always pretty respectful and we all see that. We love you! We love your content! We know you’re goofy, many of us need your light-hearted silliness in our lives.
So for me, the silliness is a major part of your success! Yes, your guitar playing is the other major factor. The two together is what has attracted all the subs you have today. You've made me laugh & feel entertained!
About the acting immature part, People just need to realize you’re just trying to make entertaining videos. I met you at NAMM a few years ago and we talked for a little bit and you were so cool to me. You took a pic with me and everything. The people watching your videos don’t know you on a personal level so they need to take your videos for what they are. Keep doing what you’re doing man
I miss his calalala goofiness. If I want serious, I can go watch any of the million doomsday channels I follow, or heck, even just the news (they're becoming the same).
@@louisejoel I mean, I pay attention, but I'm already ready and spend large amounts of my time hardening my defenses and training. I don't come to UA-cam for warnings anymore. I come for new information. I already know all the warnings. And sometimes, I don't even want new information. Sometimes I just want to be a normie again, just for a couple hours. Watch some silly skits, relax, forget that the world is ending, enjoy the electricity while we still have it.
I love how Stevie is honest about his mistakes. "I 100% deserved that" is something people should say more often Oh and I turned down a good job offer once. Biggest mistake of my life, don't do that people
"Oh and I turned down a good job offer once" but how do you know it was any good if you didn't take it? You might be regretting it now if you did. That's the problem with life, you just don't know where it will turn next
I just watched this video...again. Per your wishes I won't tell you not to regret doing that 2 week tour with Dragonforce. However I totally get it!! Like you I have certain anxieties and more recently depression as well. Everyone has regrets, I have plenty myself. All we can do is own them, learn from them and move on. Keep up the good work and never change!! Just know this, you are loved for who you are!
I follow tons on youtubers, and watch different content everyday, but where I find myself more stress relieved most of the time, is when I watch your videos!! I guess you have that capacity!! Thank you for all your efforts, and for being vulnerable to the point of making this video!! It's inspiring!!
I have lots of regrets myself as a guitarist, a college student and just in general. One of them was not knowing about your channel sooner 😅😂 and I always get what if’s too, they’re always there😩 I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos. You sure know how to crack me up on poopy days and inspire me to pick up my guitar. Thank you for all you do Stevie!! 😁❤️
Oh how we dwell on the regrets, and ignore our successes. Why are we built this way? Haha! I appreciate you too! It makes my day to hear that I inspire people to pick up the guitar! 🤗
Honestly Stevie, you're an amazing person yourself. I have battled depression and anxiety for years, especially since my brother died. Your videos help me whenever I'm in a bad mindset. Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe instead of switching types of videos, just add more music related videos now that you have more fans along with the usual videos you do. I love seeing you flourish with your talent. Thank you for all that you do man.
NAUGHTY WORDS STEVE 😢😢 Its been 2 years since this post ive watched you since your first major songs in minor key video (or oppisite) i love you forever
You're the best, Stevie There isn't one time where you didn't manage to cheer me up when I felt down. Whenever i feel depressed i come watch one of your videos and i immediately feel better..thank you so much for being unapologetically yourself
Hey Steve been a fan for a while and love you stuff. The what-ifs get everyone, but your channel is where it's at in a major part because of your personality. You make your channel unique rather than just convenient entertainment. On that note, what about a video where you list several things that you're very glad turned out the way they did or that you're proud you thought of, and wouldn't change a thing about? Sort of contrast to this one.
Hey StevieT, I’m a autistic person that love metal music, and I have anxiety and depression. I admired you being funny, and hey you learn from mistakes like we all do. Don’t stop being you and keep on being Djent. By the way, the D is silent!
I think everyone has regrets in their lives. I know I could try to help make you feel better, but regret is difficult to get rid of. I will say this however. If you had joined Dragonforce, would you have had the same brand of connectivity with your fans? I had to practically beg Herman to notice my comments in his live streams. Right now you're very reachable. You're like a friend I get to talk to once a week lol. Videos I have liked in the past are, top 10's, misheard lyrics, any and all guitar videos, fails and as much as I hate to admit it, guifakery videos. Oh and guitar challenges. I still watch the one where you played until you broke a string. Maybe answer dumb guitar questions. As a guitar noob I have plenty I'm afraid to ask. You've overcome so much and I respect you for that. You're an amazing musician and comedian. Uncommonly kind, caring and humble. Love you so much, don't beat yourself up. 😍
Thanks for the kind words, Erica! I will say, Patreon was a great way for me to connect one on one with you guys. Feel like I've known you guys forever now! Haha! I think you're right though.. I'm definitely due for another 'Q&A' video. Maybe guitar related! Don't think I've even done that yet! 🤯
Having godly guitar skills and a fantastic sense of humour is one thing, but having the humility to own your mistakes openly is a rare skill indeed. Keep doing what you're doing, Steve. No need to change anything.
Stevie T, you’re doing a fine job, everyone makes mistakes from time to time and everyone learns from mistakes. Even when you do act immature deep down you are just as smart and as human as anyone else. Also You schooled Jared in the shred wars video lol. Looking forward to see what comes next.
7:27 Yeah. The biggest reason why I like your channel is you being funny and silly while killing it with guitar stuff. Being normal and calm might be other UA-camrs' style, but this works well for you. We dig it!
1 love how Stevie adresses his fans by saying things like “screw you” it’s his way of saying “thank you for supporting guys I couldn’t have done it without you”
You are so honest and that is what makes you , you, don't regret it , you are original! , and if only there was more honest humble people like you, with a wicked sense of humour, the world would be a better place. You are a very underated guitarist, and a legend in your own right. More content please , love what you do!
Heyyy Stevie we love you ❤️ I have a lot of regrets too mostly of not sticking up for myself more 😔 you’re my inspiration and make me feel way better 🥰 I hope you’re doing ok 🖤
As a fellow sufferer of anxiety & depression, I really, honestly, felt for you when you had to turn down Dragonforce. I appreciate when you occasionally do this sort of video, it helps us all when we share. Loved that Somebody's Watching cover btw. Keep up the great work!
"Don't erase history, learn from it." Preach, brother. As far as ideas, your girlfriend/stalker character is hilarious so you might explore other recurring characters. Something like certain musical stereotypes could be funny. Perhaps a normal Stevie T style video but done from the perspective of one of these characters (emo guy, guy that takes metal lyrics literally, etc.). Anyway, looking forward to what you come up with!
this video is the most genuine video i’ve ever watched, i’m so proud of you steve! everyone has their regrets and the fact you can look at the camera and list regrets without fear amazes and inspires me. you are one of the greatest people ever and i love you man!
Stevie, started watching for the silly, was insanely impressed by the guitar playing. I love Moonlight Eternal, I know it's a boat load of hard work, but original music from you is awesome. Some of us really miss power metal and you have the scream down pat. Love you.
Stevie-T: Not having 2-step authentication sign-in Me: It's okay, my brave big boy. *A hug and a kiss just right* I know that I am very late, that's okay. Just listen to your UA-cam channel, not what people say.
We should always embrace our decisions, because we can learn from each one of them and grow. Sometimes I think about some key moments in my life and wonder what would have happened if I had changed this o that...maybe I would have avoided some bad things, but other great things would have never happened...keep it going Steve, you are awesome! 🤗 I enjoyed watching this more serious video and I can’t wait to see what’s next!! I wish you all the best 😊
Thanks Redox! I know what you mean. Sometimes I even think 'what if I DIDN'T upload my first video'. At least that's something I never have to regret! Gotta look towards the positives! 😃
I too have had “What If” moments because my anxiety and depression always gets to me and i miss on on a lot of opportunities. Ur videos always help me get through and push myself to not feel so closed off. Being 30 now I took an opportunity to go to school to learn music theory and really get started into creating music.
Don't beat youself up that much over the whole Dragonforce thing as your mental health should always come first, but always remember that at the end of the day Dragonforce asked you reguardless of whether your were able to do it they asked you and that alone is an achievement in my book :)
I really enjoy videos where you react to other talented guitarists, it's a way to share discovery of new artits and techniques, and sharing is one of the things that your fans most appreciate, just like in the video above. Peace and happyness man!
Maybe Jared beat you in stats, but he burned out within a short time, while you still rock! You have a long way behind you, and still improving! I really do enjoy and did watch your stuff back from the Lil Wayne vid (what a classic, Man!). Not just an amazing and unique youtuber you are (with amazing guitar skills), but these "serious" videos show that you are much more than just a funny shredder. I really appreciate you!
@@stephenmontgomery5807 When did Dines get into politics? The only 2 times I can remember he did anything political on his channels were when he was 1. talking about the Trapt frontman and 2. when he was playing a game with his friends, and one of the prompts was to draw his least favorite president (I don't remember who he drew)
What I saw from you years ago. Many many years ago is what has kept me here too keep watching your videos. There are other UA-camrs I used to watch that got too big changed and I just didn't like that anymore. It's because they didn't seem like themselves anymore. Well from what they presented in the beginning. But since this is different and you're explaining about everything if you were to change a bit I don't think I'd leave. I enjoy your videos. Man I even go back to a video already watched and rewatch it all over again. I actually do this with your Chanel only. I mean where I'll rewatch for than 5 times.
Hi Steve, your true genuine self shows through so much in this video. But I feel like it shows up in all your other videos as well, with bits of fun/craziness thrown in. I see you and feel you so much on the Dragonforce thing. My poor sweet 6 year old daughter is struggling big time with anxiety right now, and she is having such a hard time getting into activities that she normally loves to do. It’s so heartbreaking to see her struggle, heart racing, almost panicking about having to do something she’s anxious about. And then she bails, while all the other kids are going for it. So I imagine getting out there on a huge stage would be one of those things, if you’re not in the right headspace, ya just can’t do it, just like she’s currently finding it impossible to go get out on the soccer field and play. If it helps at all, I totally get why you made the decision you did, in that moment. And to answer your question, I love your “how to be” series, and also I totally dig the major to minor songs! And the mash ups last week were brilliant, I’d love to see more of those. Keep on truckin’, love you a ton!
Thanks for the kind words Maureen! I can sympathize with your daughter. I was the same kid. Too afraid to try new things. I wish her the best! Hopefully she has more success than me in defeating her anxieties! But we're all tryin! 😃
My all time favorite video of yours is the Billie Eilish one. Picking a non-rock genre to structural pieces and building a song from it. All the other similar ones were great as well, but this one was hilarious, smart, and also useful to musicians.
My favorite videos are the bad translations, and when you fix bad auditions, personally. But, the out of the box content is what keeps it fun... like "if they were plugged in". The content creativity is unique to your channel.
You should do more "how to" videos. For example: "How to be Imagine Dragons" or "How to be Ed Sheeran" or "How to be the Ramones", etc. The "How to" series are my favorite and I would like to see more of those kinds of videos. Or if you don't want to do those videos, I think you should make more weird misheard lyrics because that series really does make me laugh, and it's oddly entertaining. Anyways, goodbye.
Well, Stevie, I'll be honest, I too have had regrets in my life. I even blame myself for the things I've done everyday. But at the same time, I try to not really think about them. Also, I've been your fan since February or March, your videos have always made me laugh and put a smile on my face, especially with the funny things you always do and say. 🤣 Also, you always make my days 100% better with your sense of humor. :) But, as for what video I want you to do? Well, I dunno if you're bored or sick of these types of videos, but I really enjoy your "How To Be Band/Artist" videos. Especially since "How To Be The Ramones" was the video that made me discover your channel in the first place. Anyway, I really hope at some point, you decide to make another video like that, because they're just way too good. 😄
I feel like Stevie got genuinely upset at the end and I can understand why, but it was all for the right reasons. I know this video won't do well in the algorithm, but it's a video for the fans, the fans that come to the channel every video, the fans that click that new Stevie T video so far, and we appreciate these types of videos. You rock man!
Stevies only ever sorry when hes caught or woried about his revenue stream. Richard benson for instance; only sorry when caught; or "it was just a joke". Yet had multiple oppertunities to take the vid down; but hey its money in the bank to stevie
@@nathangrueber9834 Stevie isn't saying it was just a joke afterwards, he's saying, "I don't understand why people can't see it's a joke at the time". It's his job, surely you'd be the same if something was going to affect your income. There some many cunt UA-camrs out there that don't take down their videos. But I've gotta ask, why have you written this as reply, it's literally nothing to do with my original comment?
Stevie will never see this, but, I’m grateful that at least we get to enjoy his videos. If he’d have joined dragonforce, we might not have the Stevie we know and love still posting videos for us all to look forward to. So, from a fan’s perspective at least, there is a bright side to that story.
I have quite a long list of regrets myself, but discovering you and subscribing to your channel is definitely not one of them❤️ To answer your question; I really like the "how to be" videos😎 They’re always spot on👌🏼
So I've always thought the world of you since I've been watching, people need to stop taking things so seriously but thats already done can't say anything about it now. But you're very genuine and honestly my favorite UA-cam personality. As far as the videos, I really like the love songs gone wrong, the definition of djent, how to be "insert band name", of course the lil Wayne and Nick Jonas videos, oh and the videos like Of Mice and Men with lead guitar.
Dude.. You're the best. All those videos you named prove just how long you've been watching me! Haha! It would be interesting to see how 'Love Songs Gone Wrong' would do today. I actually stopped doing the "___ with lead guitar" videos because of copyright claiming. But it has been a while...
@@SteveTerreberry it's understandable for sure. Those were always enjoyable for me anyway! But again you haven't done a bad video yet so keep up the good work 🤘🤘
Steve, you're one of the most genuine and simple people on this platform. Everyone makes goof ups.. it's important to learn from them and move on!! Keep shredding brother!! Looking forward to more videos.
Ads. I've never cared about the ads that play on any channel I'm subscribed to. I'm too focused on waiting for the skip button to pop up. Unsubscribing from a channel you like because of an ad is dumb. Serious videos. Your Led Zeppelin video was phenomenal, I would love to see more like that. However, the goofy videos are your thing and I wouldn't shy away from them. Dragonforce. I feel your pain, Steve. I landed an audition with Periphery many years ago to be their new bassist. I was invited in to the studio during the making of their second album, met the band, and was asked to learn a few songs then come back in a week or so. A healthy combination of anxiety and self-doubt crippled my decision to pursue the opportunity.
Steve’s amazing musicianship gives him a credibility that makes his silliness more endearing. I’d probably think he was more annoying if not for that, but I know he can be a serious musician when he wants.
Dude, I don't even know you, but I love you. You seem like you'd be a really cool person to have as a friend. I think that's probably how you make a lot of people feel. I'm guessing your fan base is pretty legit.
You being you, is the most beautiful thing, Stevie T. We all make mistakes and no one is fully matured at all. These haters hate because they're bored and wants attention. No matter how many haters you have, I'm sure there are more of us who loves ya. Btw, your guitar playing with DJ Alan Walker's new piece sounds so good. Then "Back to my regrets." 😂 Great video!!! ❤️
Even if you did do that we still really appreciate your honesty and you being humble about it and honest, and regret is a big part of life, so thx for apologizing in public😊😊🎉❤
Hey Steve! Regrets are apart of the human experience. Learning from mistakes/regrets are valuable life lessons. I admire you for your honesty in this video...I don't know you in person but from what you've shared of yourself I can tell you are an awesome person. Also, anxiety has always plagued my life too. It sucks. It's given me many regrets...I tend to overthink ALOT...🙄. So a video suggestion... I do enjoy the How to Be videos...hmm...so just a thought...you know how the beginning of Sweet Child of Mine was a warm up...what about doing a video on happy accidents...songs that came out of warmups or something. It would take some research but I bet there's alot out there. 😀 Love ya!! 😘
Thanks so much Christina! What you said makes so much sense. It's too easy to let regrets overshadow your successes. But it DOES make you work harder! Isn't 'overthinking' the worst!!? 😩 Also, that is a brilliant idea for a video, Christina!! I LOVE IT! I will credit you if I end up doing it! 😃
I don't think anyone can honestly say they haven't done anything they regret! I've got a long list myself, and most of mine were opportunities I passed up. You are right though...you can't erase history and it's better to just acknowledge that it happened and move on. Personally, I love your content and just in the length of time I've been watching you, I've always taken everything in the context I believe you delivered it...Light and jokingly! I don't have any suggestions for content, but know that I love everything you do and it's extra special when one of those awesome guitars makes an appearance!! 🥰
Very true Andrea. Guess we've all passed up opportunities that we later regretted. I have a tendency to focus more on the regrets. But I believe it does make you stronger. If it's more guitar you want... Then that's what you're gonna get!! 😃
Stevie... we still accept you for who you are. I know you feel so regretful but it’s all okay we all forgive you and we all understand that you can go through a lot of problems but you already know that you are loved and blessed. I was pretty upset that you couldn’t play with DragonForce because I could’ve seen you in Meza but when I heard that you couldn’t join due to anxiety and depression made me so proud that you put your mental health first than the tour. I love you so much Stevie. Stay strong and God bless you. ❤️
I like how you get a lot more personality into your videos as you've gotten older. Don't get me wrong, I love how goofy you get, but I love these videos where you kinda reflect on your page and career in a more serious manner.
Hi, Steve! I honestly don’t think you should regret the last few things you named, I’ve seen the video where you talked about turning down Dragonforce. I struggle with anxiety myself so I completely understand why you made that decision. And don’t EVER regret being silly or “immature”. To me, not only is it hilarious, it kinda comforts me, reminds me that everything doesn’t have to be taken so seriously. I think maybe you should do an impression video, I’ve noticed in various videos, you do an impression or 2 & they’re actually pretty good, better than you probably think. Would you be up for that? Great seeing you today! We love you too! 😊❤️
@@monikavarro2020 Thanks for letting me know! 😊 Yes, anxiety is the absolute worst, I take antidepressants for it, so it’s not too bad now, but if I don’t take them it’s unbearable!
Thanks so much Ashley! That's very encouraging! It is true though. The rest of the world takes themselves too seriously! Haha! I've actually thought about doing an impression video. But there are already people out there doing WAYYY better than what I could do. Anthony Vincent for example! 🤯
@@SteveTerreberry I LOVE your & Anthony’s cover of Your Power! It’s awesome!! He is great at impressions! The ones of yours that I’ve heard were spot on, that’s why I suggested the idea!
To answer your question, I really would like more "How to sound like" videos. It's very interesting you having your own take in different styles of music and artists.
I also deal with social anxiety and depression and was a professional road drummer for many famous bands and artists. I've been on medication for as long as I can remember and I'm 51. It's a disturbing feeling that I deal with daily. It also led me down a path of self medicating and addiction. Playing in front of thousands of people is a double edge sword when dealing with our issues. It was so scary for me and at the same time so exciting and exhilarating. I understand why you chose not to join a famous band and perform live even though most will think you're crazy but you have to do what is best for you. Everyone please remember that there is help and people to talk to with the same issues! Don't live being afraid or anxious or even helpless. My faith helps me alot. I enjoy this channel so much and it gives me a smile. Keep on rockin and making these awesome videos. Wish I could jam with you sometime!!!!
We all have things we regret but the best thing we can do is learn from them! I look forward to your videos every week, no matter what they’re about 💜 we love you!
Honestly, I just like seeing your videos. No matter what they are about, they brighten up my week a little. Just knowing a goofy dude named Stevie is out there making goody videos. Makes life a little less serious, which is a big deal these days..My only advice to you is to just keep making videos that you enjoy making and have fun making. Your very best videos are the ones where we can tell you had a blast creating them, even if it is a repeat idea.
i honestly think you absolutely did the right thing in the dragonforce situation because yes, everyone has issues and it's brave of those who accept it gracefully

@@heavymetalmixer91 different story...
Every yt creators should know this
Richard Benson died in May 2022. There is a long and tragic story about him. He was a good guitarist with Duello Madre and other music productions. He was also an actor and a music lover
Arthritis really had taken a toll on him. He could've been a great shredder if he didn't have such misfortune. Rest in Peace, Richard Benson 🙏😢
Well, regarding Richard Benson ..at least you owned up to being a fuckwit. Even though I know full well you did it because of the avalanche of hate your ill-informed little video accrued. And you know which side your bread is buttered. Still, good work...
Steve you are such a genuine and humble person. I love your annual serious talk sessions, especially when you add some guitar. We all regret things that we have done, and although it would be nice to go back and maybe do things differenty, in reality we know that can't happen, so we learn from it and move on to the next undertaking. You are right when you say that history cannot not be erased. We embrace it and make it better. Steve don't forget that when you do a video it takes time cause you do everything yourself, and that my boy is a load ton of work. Dad and I love you unconditionally and are very proud of you and we know your followers feel the same.
Your opinion on me is biased!!! Jk. I definitely feel the need to do a video like this every once in a while. The sponsors wanted me to give them a shredemption, so that was the perfect excuse to throw a guitar solo in the vid! Thanks for everything you guys do for me! 😃
Hi stevies mom
MAMMA T
heyo Mrs. t

Dont regret the Dragon Force decision. You did what was right at the time. And you came clean with why you couldn't do it and that probably really helped a lot of people. It took a lot of courage to share that.
No hard/soft feelings about your personality here, That’s what we’re here for and it’s AMAZING !!!
hey
Indeed
Now that the crazy faces are a lot less excessive he has actually become q lot funnier. His video were he listens to the top 10 is my favourite he's done so far.
Just throwing this out there, I think DragonForce should hire you as a session guitarist, strictly in the studio. You have awesome chemistry with Herman Li, and I think you two could definitely collaborate on recording an album together.
NIce Idea! :)
I'll second that.
People would want that sound live. So capturing it would be incredibly difficult. That’s what The Beach Boys did with Brian Wilson one of the most iconic albums ever Pet Sounds sold off the shelf like crazy, but when it came to the album being live it wasn’t the same. Studios are about dead, with all the technology there is today Steve could literally play a guitar part send it in and they could cut and paste directly into the song. Kinda like adding in drum samples. I would say if this was the early 90s sure but not in the present day.
Or they could join your UA-cam band Moonlight Eternal lol.
Steve I am a 54 year old army vet with ptsd, severe social anxiety, depression disorder. I have days I can’t leave my bedroom, let alone the house. I couldn’t do what you do for anything. Even thinking about getting in front of the camera terrifies me. You’ve got such a unique gift. Your personality, guitar playing, sense of humor are outstanding. I’m thinking of doing my life long dream because of you. Always wanted to learn blues, blues rock guitar. Weirdly I’m a 80s metal head but blues touches my tortured soul. The amount of courage you just showed is amazing, everyone has regrets, damn few of us open our souls to share them. All of us here support you, just be you that’s all we need. Who knows what’s around the corner, whatever it is you’ll be stronger and more prepared to meet it. God bless my friend.
Thank you for your service!
Wow... peace and love to you brother, thank you for your service sir I’m sure you will be a great blues player too. Xxxx
So you went to fight Sadam I guess? I hope I don't trigger anything with that question. I find it very brave to tell about your condition and hope that you'll get the best of it. I hope that was correct, english isn't my nativ language. What are you working on right now on guitar? Inspired through the video I will try that "Muse" song. ^^ Have a good day Sir! :)
@@MoshPitCreator he was prolly fighting in Afghanistan or iraq yes
I think that you should persue that dream. My step-dad that gave up on guitar when he was 10 But he started a year ago and now he's 58. He Plays guitar for fun and I think you can do it, with practice and a bit of theory you're gonna play blues like a chief. I also play guitar and i've been playing since I was 7 and understand that the First few months are gonna be Hard But you Just have to go push and push. And i believe in you, guitar is amazing and you should do it. (sorry some correcting mistakes since english isn't my First language)
Hi, I stumbled on this searching for Richard Benson. I probably left a big comment on that older video of yours too.
He passed away last year, sadly.
As a big fan of his, I appreciate your expression of regret; I wish you and other people from around the world could know how big and meaningful of an underground phenomenon he was in Italy (and Rome in particular) in his time for metal fans. He had a show and would promote so many bands on TV.
He kept developing and working on his showman character to entertain where he couldn't with his music, but his knowledge and passion for music would always come through gallantly.
Have a great day whoever's reading this
Your personality makes the channel intersting, and your insane talent for music just pumps it up in a major way. I personally would love to see more things like your billy eyelash cover with anthony. That video for me was just incredible, you took a song that i would never have listened to and made me listen to it 5x in a row. Thats something special. Definatly do more work with that man if you get the opportunity.
Yes 100% agree
MINOR way - he plays mostly metal 🤣
Yep his how to make an Imagine Dragon Song and creating a song with Jim Carrey were also humorous and pretty amazing.
Steve is just insanely creative in his own way, he kept being himself no matter what the people say. Protect this man at all cost.
Steve is a gem!
Steven my opinion comes from me personally knowing you beyond youtube. You are one of the kindest people that I know. IF you thought for one second something would hurt someone you would NEVER do it or say it. You are a comedian as much as an amazing musician. We have all come to look forward to your silliness just as much as your musical talent!!! KEEP ON Making music....and making people smile Steve. That is what you were put here on earth to do...make us smile.

For me you are doing a great job, no regrets, it is what it is and we learn sometimes more by our mistakes rather than our success. Regarding Dragonforce I don’t think you did it wrong. Perhaps you shall start your own band.
first to a verified commenter
a record company from my country commenting on a stevie t vid? yes he got the recognition
Types of videos I want you to do Steve:-
1. How to be (certain artist/band).
2. Song reviews.
3. Funny skits (kinda like the videos from Music is Win or Jared dines and trust me those blow up.)
4. Cool guitar effects and tricks.
5. Random messing around at guitar stores.
Side note :- You should probably get a person to help you with the videos from filming to editing and all that stuff.
Exactly! Stevie MUST do these videos!
Exactly brother
Sahi ho
Def need how to be x band videos!
💯
Stevie, never regret your goofiness, theres a lot of good guitar players, but making people laugh is not a common gift, and boy do we need some laughs these days!!!. Just keep being you and dont stop shredding.

Andy X Steve vid when?
His eyes tearing up at the end when talking about how depression held him back was heartbreaking. Steve, I won’t say “be strong” or “it’ll all be ok” or “don’t worry about those regrets.” Because that’s exactly what I wouldn’t need to hear at that moment. Instead, please know that you’ve had an impact on people, regrets or not. You know how much smiling means to someone in the depths of depression, and you have provided those smiles.
I can tell by your comment that you have been there as well. It feels like your life force is being sucked from you... Just leaving this hollow shell..
Great comment.
Absolutely great comment. I totally agree with all that, especially at the end..I've been there too,and coming here to watch Stevie T. has actually lifted me up💜
@@wesleyAlan9179 certainly. He's hilarious and very talented. His sweep picking video helped me smooth my sweep picking. Before watching, it was quite sloppy every time. I can alternate pick, tap, and all that. Sweep picking was still kicking my ass though.

Aww, Steve. ((hugs))We all have regrets and make mistakes, but being able to admit those is a sign of maturity and integrity. I remember seeing the Dragonforce video the day it came out and as you talked about your anxiety, I could completely relate to what you were saying. I just wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. 😄
But, please don’t allow regrets to eat you up. Confront your fears and there won’t be any room left for regret to take a foothold. Lots of love! 💕
Thanks so much for saying so, Sarah! The Dragonforce thing was a once in a lifetime opportunity. So it's definitely hard to look past that one. BUT it could also be proof that I'm 100% doing what I should be doing. Virtual hugs right back at ya! 🤗

@@SteveTerreberry You don't know the DragonForce thing was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Who knows what else my come up.
You made a decision that you thought was right.
I saw you on snuff
I would love to see more of the "How to be [insert band name]"-videos, I really enjoyed them, and they were also (maybe unintentionally) like music creation tutorials in how a song is built and how the artist may have thought in the writing progress. I acctually learned something and that's why I loved (and still love) watching them 🙂
"Instead of erasing history, I learn from it." The best route for change isn't pretending previous mistakes didn't happen, but recognizing and growing from them. Regardless of what they are, mistakes shape our character, for better or worse. Keep growing Steve, you rock!
So inspiring
That's how I felt about all those southern statues they tore down. Like they dont mean anything to us today but they showed what was wrong with our past.
@@kenwhiteproductions I completely agree, those statues may represent a dark period for us, but tearing them down won’t change what happened.
What about a "but better" series where you take established songs (maybe community voted) and redo them entirely in your own style? You could even collab with other people. I know that would be a ton of work, but also really fun. It'd be a nice monthly or bimonthly treat. Until we demand more. Weekly. And then more. It will never end. We will own your soul, Stevie. Your. Soul. Anyway, I think it'd make a great series. Think about it! Do it. No regrets...
It would be soo cool 🔥👌
This is an awesome idea
Thats a great idea
definitely! more people should like this so stevie can see it quicker
I like this idea!
Oh and I also agree that the “How To Be (whoever)” videos are a good venue for you. It shows your musical ability as well as comedic. I’m not great at titles and algorithms, but if it’s anything like TikTok (and it seems to be), it’s all about using trending keywords even if they have nothing to do with the video. Freaking algorithms man.
Around the time you turned down Dragonforce, I was struggling with anxiety and depression. I was finishing my contract as a postdoctoral researcher and had to decide if I wanted to renew, find a similar job elsewhere, or look for other options. Academia was eating me alive and I felt miserable, so in the end I chose the third option, even though research was my dream job for a long time. Then I heard about your decision and actually felt much better about mine. You put your mental health first and that’s not a common thing to do, specially in highly competitive environments. I still regret it sometimes, but now I’m stronger and more stable, and eventually found a good opportunity. I’m sure you will be touring with an awesome band eventually and, more importantly, you will be able to enjoy every moment of it. Thank you for your content and inspiration, man! You do way more than you think.
How are you doing now?
I would love to see you do a "What if Stevie T was in ___" and act out how you would get along with people in like Black Sabbath for instance. And then take one of their songs and solo over it! I think that would be fun! Thank you for everything you do Stevie! You're yourself and you make so many people's day. Thank you for adding some comedy into a niche of UA-cam where it seems to be taken a little too seriously! Love you bud
That's a goodie aswell! ^^
I love that idea!
Great Idea. I second that. 👍
This is frickin genuis
Thanks for the support everyone! Let's hope Stevie reads this!
“Instead of erasing history, I learned from it”
A sign of an actual smart person. I absolutely love your videos and it’s good to know you’re just as cool in real life. I also want a full Stevie uncensored compilation after seeing the thumbnail😂😂
I just scrolled through the comments on that PewDiePie video and I only see positivity. I remember it and if you're demographic is so sensitive that they bail on that then they aren't your real supporters Stevie. We love you man. Millions of us genuinely care.
I feel like you're getting older and you're just reflecting in a way we cannot because our lives aren't online to be viewed and analysed on. To me you're a comedian and a phenomenal musician. Please don't regret these things, apart from 2 factor authentication. ❤️
It was a predisposition based video, I’d assume a lot of pewdiepie fans clicked on that video. He could have increased his sub base which is probably why he regrets putting that as in that video. His fans are already used to him advertising ball razors
I think it s the pewdiepie audience that was sensitive more than anything.
Who the fuck gets offended or grossed out by sex toys? What a bunch of children, whoever clicked off. 😂
@@fianna582 that's the thing though, most of pewdiepies audience is quite literally made up of children. A good portion of his adult fans still act like children too.
I'm sure they weren't regular viewers they were probably casual viewers who don't watch Steve and they clicked for PewDiePie and were immediately turned off by the sponsor of Penguinz0's wall.
Well I don't know exactly how well they did but I really loved the "How to write a song in this band's style" videos, as those are fun to watch since we can all laugh about certain traits each band has while experiencing your amazing musical talent. Also those are quite educational in most cases and might actually help musicians find their very own style.
I agree! I really like those “how to be this band” videos. The Imagine Dragons one was so good! 😂
Steve, tbf bro, if you had gone to that tour, and let’s say you’re Anxiety fucked it up, you would have fallen to a deep depression. You did the save choice, right now 2 weeks seem fast, but with bad anxiety, 2 weeks feel like 2 years.
🤘🏼You got this bro.
Exactly this, he should not regret this at all. At the time it was the best decision, so it can't be called a mistake
Stevie dude, everyone makes mistakes so don't beat yourself up. You're one of the most honest and genuine UA-camrs there is and your content is honestly the best in it's entire category 💯 For the last 3 years your video's have literally saved me from depression and anxiety and I couldn't thank you enough ❤️ with how great you are you can make mistakes dude, it's no biggie.
Except accepting a sponsorship is not a mistake. Honestly, people who decided to stop watching because they'd rather watch a raid shadow legends ad instead of the adult one are the one making a mistake. Grow up and stop carrying about sponsorships.
@@draccondracul2082 for sure dude, but I was talking about his mistakes, I didn't even mention the sponsorship.
@@draccondracul2082 but yeah them people are simple minded.
I really wish you wouldn't regret passing on the tour. Mental health is so much more important. I think you did the right thing.
As for what kinda videos to do, I love your "How to be (artist)" stuff. The Ed Sheeran one is my favourite.
Yeah, he really nailed that one. They're my favorite videos of his too
Or the angry guitar guy redemption video..
Yess i love that series!
Mental Health is definitely more important, good comment.
A real musician doesn't give two fucks about his mental health. The amateur does. Here's the difference.
Dude, everyone makes decisions they regret sometimes. You’re such a genuine guy and it takes a lot to reflect on your mistakes instead of just “apologizing” when faced with scrutiny. You’re always pretty respectful and we all see that. We love you! We love your content! We know you’re goofy, many of us need your light-hearted silliness in our lives.
So for me, the silliness is a major part of your success! Yes, your guitar playing is the other major factor. The two together is what has attracted all the subs you have today. You've made me laugh & feel entertained!
About the acting immature part, People just need to realize you’re just trying to make entertaining videos. I met you at NAMM a few years ago and we talked for a little bit and you were so cool to me. You took a pic with me and everything. The people watching your videos don’t know you on a personal level so they need to take your videos for what they are. Keep doing what you’re doing man

Hey Steve been a fan for a while and love you stuff. The what-ifs get everyone, but your channel is where it's at in a major part because of your personality. You make your channel unique rather than just convenient entertainment.
On that note, what about a video where you list several things that you're very glad turned out the way they did or that you're proud you thought of, and wouldn't change a thing about? Sort of contrast to this one.
Hey StevieT, I’m a autistic person that love metal music, and I have anxiety and depression. I admired you being funny, and hey you learn from mistakes like we all do. Don’t stop being you and keep on being Djent.
By the way, the D is silent!
I think everyone has regrets in their lives. I know I could try to help make you feel better, but regret is difficult to get rid of. I will say this however. If you had joined Dragonforce, would you have had the same brand of connectivity with your fans? I had to practically beg Herman to notice my comments in his live streams. Right now you're very reachable. You're like a friend I get to talk to once a week lol. Videos I have liked in the past are, top 10's, misheard lyrics, any and all guitar videos, fails and as much as I hate to admit it, guifakery videos. Oh and guitar challenges. I still watch the one where you played until you broke a string. Maybe answer dumb guitar questions. As a guitar noob I have plenty I'm afraid to ask. You've overcome so much and I respect you for that. You're an amazing musician and comedian. Uncommonly kind, caring and humble. Love you so much, don't beat yourself up. 😍
Thanks for the kind words, Erica! I will say, Patreon was a great way for me to connect one on one with you guys. Feel like I've known you guys forever now! Haha!
I think you're right though.. I'm definitely due for another 'Q&A' video. Maybe guitar related! Don't think I've even done that yet! 🤯
@@SteveTerreberry the way you say "sucks" 💀
Having godly guitar skills and a fantastic sense of humour is one thing, but having the humility to own your mistakes openly is a rare skill indeed. Keep doing what you're doing, Steve. No need to change anything.
Stevie T, you’re doing a fine job, everyone makes mistakes from time to time and everyone learns from mistakes. Even when you do act immature deep down you are just as smart and as human as anyone else. Also You schooled Jared in the shred wars video lol. Looking forward to see what comes next.
7:27 Yeah. The biggest reason why I like your channel is you being funny and silly while killing it with guitar stuff. Being normal and calm might be other UA-camrs' style, but this works well for you. We dig it!
1 love how Stevie adresses his fans by saying things like “screw you” it’s his way of saying “thank you for supporting guys I couldn’t have done it without you”
You are so honest and that is what makes you , you, don't regret it , you are original! , and if only there was more honest humble people like you, with a wicked sense of humour, the world would be a better place. You are a very underated guitarist, and a legend in your own right. More content please , love what you do!
Heyyy Stevie we love you ❤️ I have a lot of regrets too mostly of not sticking up for myself more 😔 you’re my inspiration and make me feel way better 🥰 I hope you’re doing ok 🖤
I feel you there Amber! I've always been like that too. Grew up without a backbone. That is a HARD habit to break! 😫
Hope you are doing well too! 😃
As a fellow sufferer of anxiety & depression, I really, honestly, felt for you when you had to turn down Dragonforce.
I appreciate when you occasionally do this sort of video, it helps us all when we share.
Loved that Somebody's Watching cover btw. Keep up the great work!
"Don't erase history, learn from it." Preach, brother. As far as ideas, your girlfriend/stalker character is hilarious so you might explore other recurring characters. Something like certain musical stereotypes could be funny. Perhaps a normal Stevie T style video but done from the perspective of one of these characters (emo guy, guy that takes metal lyrics literally, etc.). Anyway, looking forward to what you come up with!
Spaceman Spliff!!, or something like that ;)
this video is the most genuine video i’ve ever watched, i’m so proud of you steve! everyone has their regrets and the fact you can look at the camera and list regrets without fear amazes and inspires me. you are one of the greatest people ever and i love you man!
Stevie, started watching for the silly, was insanely impressed by the guitar playing. I love Moonlight Eternal, I know it's a boat load of hard work, but original music from you is awesome. Some of us really miss power metal and you have the scream down pat. Love you.
I was trying to remember what that song was I really liked it too. I like the song written by negative comments too
Stevie-T: Not having 2-step authentication sign-in
Me: It's okay, my brave big boy. *A hug and a kiss just right* I know that I am very late, that's okay. Just listen to your UA-cam channel, not what people say.
We should always embrace our decisions, because we can learn from each one of them and grow. Sometimes I think about some key moments in my life and wonder what would have happened if I had changed this o that...maybe I would have avoided some bad things, but other great things would have never happened...keep it going Steve, you are awesome! 🤗 I enjoyed watching this more serious video and I can’t wait to see what’s next!! I wish you all the best 😊
Thanks Redox! I know what you mean. Sometimes I even think 'what if I DIDN'T upload my first video'. At least that's something I never have to regret! Gotta look towards the positives! 😃
I too have had “What If” moments because my anxiety and depression always gets to me and i miss on on a lot of opportunities. Ur videos always help me get through and push myself to not feel so closed off. Being 30 now I took an opportunity to go to school to learn music theory and really get started into creating music.
Don't beat youself up that much over the whole Dragonforce thing as your mental health should always come first, but always remember that at the end of the day Dragonforce asked you reguardless of whether your were able to do it they asked you and that alone is an achievement in my book :)
I really enjoy videos where you react to other talented guitarists, it's a way to share discovery of new artits and techniques, and sharing is one of the things that your fans most appreciate, just like in the video above. Peace and happyness man!
Don’t worry Stevie, just be yourself. I look forwards to every upload of yours and you’re my favorite musical UA-camr.
Maybe Jared beat you in stats, but he burned out within a short time, while you still rock! You have a long way behind you, and still improving!
I really do enjoy and did watch your stuff back from the Lil Wayne vid (what a classic, Man!).
Not just an amazing and unique youtuber you are (with amazing guitar skills), but these "serious" videos show that you are much more than just a funny shredder.
I really appreciate you!
yeah I have not Been to Jared Dines channel in a long time idk if he has even uploaded recently except the Dickey Dines show on his friends channel...
When Dines got into politics I tapped out.
When he got tight with Heafy is when I got the vibe off him that he's above us all. I may be way off base but that's just my perception.
After that drama, I hardly watch his videos again
@@stephenmontgomery5807 When did Dines get into politics? The only 2 times I can remember he did anything political on his channels were when he was 1. talking about the Trapt frontman and 2. when he was playing a game with his friends, and one of the prompts was to draw his least favorite president (I don't remember who he drew)
Personally, I would love to see more videos in the “how to be (blank)” series - writing songs in the styles of different artists and bands.
What I saw from you years ago. Many many years ago is what has kept me here too keep watching your videos. There are other UA-camrs I used to watch that got too big changed and I just didn't like that anymore. It's because they didn't seem like themselves anymore. Well from what they presented in the beginning. But since this is different and you're explaining about everything if you were to change a bit I don't think I'd leave. I enjoy your videos. Man I even go back to a video already watched and rewatch it all over again. I actually do this with your Chanel only. I mean where I'll rewatch for than 5 times.
Hi Steve, your true genuine self shows through so much in this video. But I feel like it shows up in all your other videos as well, with bits of fun/craziness thrown in. I see you and feel you so much on the Dragonforce thing. My poor sweet 6 year old daughter is struggling big time with anxiety right now, and she is having such a hard time getting into activities that she normally loves to do. It’s so heartbreaking to see her struggle, heart racing, almost panicking about having to do something she’s anxious about. And then she bails, while all the other kids are going for it. So I imagine getting out there on a huge stage would be one of those things, if you’re not in the right headspace, ya just can’t do it, just like she’s currently finding it impossible to go get out on the soccer field and play. If it helps at all, I totally get why you made the decision you did, in that moment. And to answer your question, I love your “how to be” series, and also I totally dig the major to minor songs! And the mash ups last week were brilliant, I’d love to see more of those. Keep on truckin’, love you a ton!
Thanks for the kind words Maureen! I can sympathize with your daughter. I was the same kid. Too afraid to try new things. I wish her the best! Hopefully she has more success than me in defeating her anxieties! But we're all tryin! 😃
@@SteveTerreberry thank you, we are working on it! I hope you’re doing the best you can right now too!
My all time favorite video of yours is the Billie Eilish one. Picking a non-rock genre to structural pieces and building a song from it. All the other similar ones were great as well, but this one was hilarious, smart, and also useful to musicians.
My favorite videos are the bad translations, and when you fix bad auditions, personally. But, the out of the box content is what keeps it fun... like "if they were plugged in". The content creativity is unique to your channel.
Stevie,we all make mistakes,we ALL love you.,,,Keep being yourself,and shine!!!🥰
I love how Stevie grows from his experiences.
Dude Stevie T fricken rocks.
Screw your regrets your fricken awesome don’t think about the past only the future.
You should do more "how to" videos. For example: "How to be Imagine Dragons" or "How to be Ed Sheeran" or "How to be the Ramones", etc. The "How to" series are my favorite and I would like to see more of those kinds of videos. Or if you don't want to do those videos, I think you should make more weird misheard lyrics because that series really does make me laugh, and it's oddly entertaining. Anyways, goodbye.
this ^^^
Trueeee
I agree completely
I agree too
I want how to be linkin park, id like to see what he makes
Steve, I love it when you write songs in other artists styles! It's funny, clever and inspiring! More of that if you can!
Well, Stevie, I'll be honest, I too have had regrets in my life. I even blame myself for the things I've done everyday. But at the same time, I try to not really think about them. Also, I've been your fan since February or March, your videos have always made me laugh and put a smile on my face, especially with the funny things you always do and say. 🤣 Also, you always make my days 100% better with your sense of humor. :) But, as for what video I want you to do? Well, I dunno if you're bored or sick of these types of videos, but I really enjoy your "How To Be Band/Artist" videos. Especially since "How To Be The Ramones" was the video that made me discover your channel in the first place. Anyway, I really hope at some point, you decide to make another video like that, because they're just way too good. 😄
I feel like Stevie got genuinely upset at the end and I can understand why, but it was all for the right reasons. I know this video won't do well in the algorithm, but it's a video for the fans, the fans that come to the channel every video, the fans that click that new Stevie T video so far, and we appreciate these types of videos. You rock man!
yea look at those eyes...
Stevies only ever sorry when hes caught or woried about his revenue stream. Richard benson for instance; only sorry when caught; or "it was just a joke". Yet had multiple oppertunities to take the vid down; but hey its money in the bank to stevie
@@nathangrueber9834 Stevie isn't saying it was just a joke afterwards, he's saying, "I don't understand why people can't see it's a joke at the time". It's his job, surely you'd be the same if something was going to affect your income. There some many cunt UA-camrs out there that don't take down their videos. But I've gotta ask, why have you written this as reply, it's literally nothing to do with my original comment?
Stevie will never see this, but, I’m grateful that at least we get to enjoy his videos. If he’d have joined dragonforce, we might not have the Stevie we know and love still posting videos for us all to look forward to. So, from a fan’s perspective at least, there is a bright side to that story.
You and Bradley Hall are my favorite UA-camr's, there are thousands of guitarists, you and Bradley are hilarious.
I have quite a long list of regrets myself, but discovering you and subscribing to your channel is definitely not one of them❤️
To answer your question; I really like the "how to be" videos😎 They’re always spot on👌🏼
Thanks for saying so, Marte!! I appreciate it! It seems that the 'how to be' videos are in the lead. Guess I'm gonna have to do another one! 😃
@@SteveTerreberry Yes
So I've always thought the world of you since I've been watching, people need to stop taking things so seriously but thats already done can't say anything about it now. But you're very genuine and honestly my favorite UA-cam personality. As far as the videos, I really like the love songs gone wrong, the definition of djent, how to be "insert band name", of course the lil Wayne and Nick Jonas videos, oh and the videos like Of Mice and Men with lead guitar.
Dude.. You're the best. All those videos you named prove just how long you've been watching me! Haha! It would be interesting to see how 'Love Songs Gone Wrong' would do today. I actually stopped doing the "___ with lead guitar" videos because of copyright claiming. But it has been a while...
@@SteveTerreberry it's understandable for sure. Those were always enjoyable for me anyway! But again you haven't done a bad video yet so keep up the good work 🤘🤘
Steve, you're one of the most genuine and simple people on this platform. Everyone makes goof ups.. it's important to learn from them and move on!! Keep shredding brother!! Looking forward to more videos.
The reason why I watch you is really two fold... 1) you are a freakin' awesome guitar player and 2) You are a goof ball and you always make me laugh.
Admittedly, the Richard Benson had me rolling on the floor for 10 minutes. Honestly one of my favorites
Thank you, Chairman Mao Cena
Hi john xina
Hi Zhong Xina
Ads. I've never cared about the ads that play on any channel I'm subscribed to. I'm too focused on waiting for the skip button to pop up. Unsubscribing from a channel you like because of an ad is dumb.
Serious videos. Your Led Zeppelin video was phenomenal, I would love to see more like that. However, the goofy videos are your thing and I wouldn't shy away from them.
Dragonforce. I feel your pain, Steve. I landed an audition with Periphery many years ago to be their new bassist. I was invited in to the studio during the making of their second album, met the band, and was asked to learn a few songs then come back in a week or so. A healthy combination of anxiety and self-doubt crippled my decision to pursue the opportunity.
I can honestly say that you've made me laugh in many times i need it, years now! Please don't stop
Steve’s amazing musicianship gives him a credibility that makes his silliness more endearing. I’d probably think he was more annoying if not for that, but I know he can be a serious musician when he wants.
Dude, I don't even know you, but I love you. You seem like you'd be a really cool person to have as a friend. I think that's probably how you make a lot of people feel. I'm guessing your fan base is pretty legit.
the solo work you do over music is top tier without question
You being you, is the most beautiful thing, Stevie T. We all make mistakes and no one is fully matured at all. These haters hate because they're bored and wants attention. No matter how many haters you have, I'm sure there are more of us who loves ya.
Btw, your guitar playing with DJ Alan Walker's new piece sounds so good. Then "Back to my regrets." 😂 Great video!!! ❤️
Even if you did do that we still really appreciate your honesty and you being humble about it and honest, and regret is a big part of life, so thx for apologizing in public😊😊🎉❤
Hey Steve! Regrets are apart of the human experience. Learning from mistakes/regrets are valuable life lessons. I admire you for your honesty in this video...I don't know you in person but from what you've shared of yourself I can tell you are an awesome person. Also, anxiety has always plagued my life too. It sucks. It's given me many regrets...I tend to overthink ALOT...🙄. So a video suggestion... I do enjoy the How to Be videos...hmm...so just a thought...you know how the beginning of Sweet Child of Mine was a warm up...what about doing a video on happy accidents...songs that came out of warmups or something. It would take some research but I bet there's alot out there. 😀 Love ya!! 😘
Thanks so much Christina! What you said makes so much sense. It's too easy to let regrets overshadow your successes. But it DOES make you work harder! Isn't 'overthinking' the worst!!? 😩
Also, that is a brilliant idea for a video, Christina!! I LOVE IT! I will credit you if I end up doing it! 😃
@@SteveTerreberry I'm glad you liked the idea!! That would be awesome! Thanks 🤗❤🤗 and YES overthinking SUCKS!!
I don't think anyone can honestly say they haven't done anything they regret! I've got a long list myself, and most of mine were opportunities I passed up. You are right though...you can't erase history and it's better to just acknowledge that it happened and move on. Personally, I love your content and just in the length of time I've been watching you, I've always taken everything in the context I believe you delivered it...Light and jokingly! I don't have any suggestions for content, but know that I love everything you do and it's extra special when one of those awesome guitars makes an appearance!! 🥰
Very true Andrea. Guess we've all passed up opportunities that we later regretted. I have a tendency to focus more on the regrets. But I believe it does make you stronger.
If it's more guitar you want... Then that's what you're gonna get!! 😃
@@SteveTerreberry Yayyyy!! More guitar is always good 😄
Stevie... we still accept you for who you are. I know you feel so regretful but it’s all okay we all forgive you and we all understand that you can go through a lot of problems but you already know that you are loved and blessed. I was pretty upset that you couldn’t play with DragonForce because I could’ve seen you in Meza but when I heard that you couldn’t join due to anxiety and depression made me so proud that you put your mental health first than the tour. I love you so much Stevie. Stay strong and God bless you. ❤️
I like how you get a lot more personality into your videos as you've gotten older. Don't get me wrong, I love how goofy you get, but I love these videos where you kinda reflect on your page and career in a more serious manner.
Hi, Steve! I honestly don’t think you should regret the last few things you named, I’ve seen the video where you talked about turning down Dragonforce. I struggle with anxiety myself so I completely understand why you made that decision. And don’t EVER regret being silly or “immature”. To me, not only is it hilarious, it kinda comforts me, reminds me that everything doesn’t have to be taken so seriously. I think maybe you should do an impression video, I’ve noticed in various videos, you do an impression or 2 & they’re actually pretty good, better than you probably think. Would you be up for that? Great seeing you today! We love you too! 😊❤️
@Ashley I see you! 😃 Anxiety is the worst! I can't tell you how many times I thought I was having a heart attack!
@@monikavarro2020 Thanks for letting me know! 😊 Yes, anxiety is the absolute worst, I take antidepressants for it, so it’s not too bad now, but if I don’t take them it’s unbearable!
Thanks so much Ashley! That's very encouraging! It is true though. The rest of the world takes themselves too seriously! Haha! I've actually thought about doing an impression video. But there are already people out there doing WAYYY better than what I could do. Anthony Vincent for example! 🤯
@@SteveTerreberry I LOVE your & Anthony’s cover of Your Power! It’s awesome!! He is great at impressions! The ones of yours that I’ve heard were spot on, that’s why I suggested the idea!
@@PeaceLove333 I don't take anything for anxiety. Taking medications makes me anxious too! 🙁
To answer your question, I really would like more "How to sound like" videos. It's very interesting you having your own take in different styles of music and artists.
Being your self makes you genuine and original. Haters will hate but the almost 3mil subs will love you! 👍🏽
I also deal with social anxiety and depression and was a professional road drummer for many famous bands and artists. I've been on medication for as long as I can remember and I'm 51. It's a disturbing feeling that I deal with daily. It also led me down a path of self medicating and addiction. Playing in front of thousands of people is a double edge sword when dealing with our issues. It was so scary for me and at the same time so exciting and exhilarating. I understand why you chose not to join a famous band and perform live even though most will think you're crazy but you have to do what is best for you. Everyone please remember that there is help and people to talk to with the same issues! Don't live being afraid or anxious or even helpless. My faith helps me alot. I enjoy this channel so much and it gives me a smile. Keep on rockin and making these awesome videos. Wish I could jam with you sometime!!!!
We all have things we regret but the best thing we can do is learn from them! I look forward to your videos every week, no matter what they’re about 💜 we love you!
Thanks so much Abigail! I look forward to connecting with you guys every week. Happy I can be your source of entertainment!! 😃
Honestly, I just like seeing your videos. No matter what they are about, they brighten up my week a little. Just knowing a goofy dude named Stevie is out there making goody videos. Makes life a little less serious, which is a big deal these days..My only advice to you is to just keep making videos that you enjoy making and have fun making. Your very best videos are the ones where we can tell you had a blast creating them, even if it is a repeat idea.
i honestly think you absolutely did the right thing in the dragonforce situation because yes, everyone has issues and it's brave of those who accept it gracefully
