Thanks for the support Mom

Probably old to some/most here, but I've only just seen this and jeez, it's depressing
RIP Black Tom and Beckett. They weren't just cats, they were MY cats, the best cats ever.

When I was that guy's age in the early 90's I was into Thrash/Death metal and a guitarist too. Now that I'm almost 40 I can understand both sides of the discussion. It's time for him to move out or at the very least switch to headphones.

Ha...at least he has gear...
The best I could pull together as a teenager was a used drum machine, a used effects processor, and a really crappy mic. Never could get my ma to support the music interest either. She gave my saxophone to my younger sister to use in marching band and the sister destroyed it. I can kind of empathize...

yeah, Mom there has got to be sick of hearing it.
I think if she did play C&W music all day long he might get the idea. It's time to move out the house.
I'm older now and I'll be damned if I want to hear anybody's music loud I didn't choose to hear. I never had a loud amp in the house and felt free to crank it, never in my life, we just didn't have the space. If that kid has that thing set up in his bedroom, he's never going to be in the right if Mom is subject to hours of it.

I'm someone who was relentlessly emotionally abused growing up and that was extremely painful to watch.
Anyone who remotely understands the mother's point of view should be ashamed of themselves. This kid seriously needs to get out of that toxic environment. Unfortunately he'll spend most of his life trying to rebuild the self-confidence his mother has taken from him.

That video was so sad.
I'm eternally grateful that my parents initiated, supported and encouraged my interest in music. They started me on piano lessons in 1st grade, continuing for the next ten years. Plus an additional four years of clarinet, and they also paid for guitar lessons when I expressed an interest.
My dad paid for my first synthesizer, a Korg DW-6000, which I still have.
At the beginning of the 1990's, my parents allowed my industrial band to rehearse at their house for our first live gigs. For several weeks, we had an entire room occupied with amps, mixers, effects, 5 keyboards on three A-frame stands, all blasting out the loudest, most offensive noise imaginable. Not once did my parents complain.
Seeing this video makes me want to call my parents up and apologize for taking them for granted all those years. Ian, thank you for sharing.

But this mother? I suspect this was staged

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

yeah, well we're all about to project ourselves onto this scenario...
guess what, SAW, I'm not really shamed by your post. I'm sorry you had a bad situation, really I am. YMMV but I'm no psychologist and I have no ideas on how damaged this individual is from such mom-rants.
I remember my mother coming in my room around 11 at night with a hammer she was so sick of some crap I was listening to. She wasn't real unstable and she was not a violent person but her last nerve was irritated I guess.
That was a little plastic radio shack record player with tiny speakers...
As for me, I am a little ashamed I wasn't more considerate in general. My mother's not around anymore. She had a tough life. She wasn't encouraged to be an artist though she had the ability. She came from an era women weren't encouraged, or in a lot of cases allowed, to be anything like that. A mother projecting herself onto her child, wanting to see them do what they didn't, that vicarious projection, I think that's normal.

my mother sat through a Hendrix concert with me. I was 12. She complained not at all about it.
When I finally sold my classical guitar, she was very pissed off, I didn't know how to make good decisions, you know. That was her idea of what to do, that was her putting herself in my place with hopes of me doing something legit...

+1...I drive my wife crazy because I'm uptight about cranking our music up too much but I dont like hearing music from other people either because it it distracts from my music even if it's just thumping. I'm very critical about my amps because I cannot get the most enjoyment playing if I'm worrying about whether or not I am disturbing anyone because once again that's a distraction. I also do not play my guitar when people are here, I prefer to be 100% alone when I play...I gave up the whole "hey I know this songjancivil wrote:yeah, Mom there has got to be sick of hearing it.

do you know it?"..."no but do you know this" 
"no but what about this" "yeah but that's not how you play it, you play it like this" "no look it's this way" "well what about this song, can you do this" "can YOU do this" thing.I'm sorry if that makes me sound like a snob because it really is not about that it's just part of who I have become...I was that other guy for a long time but now I get the most contentment just playing for me.
Still I think this video is staged

well, if it is staged I think it's rather brilliant. Could be he had mom go for the usual shit she would go for, but I kind of doubt this bit of cinema verité was achieved via scripting and direction...
this was before reality shows? that one has possibilities...
