      it's because we live in a "society" that values and encourages dumb awful disgusting "creatures" (I refuse to call them humans) Bumblefoot very probably still doesn't recognize his own songwriting talent... Normal and Abnormal are fucking masterpieces of musical composition and insightful lyrics 🤘🤘Learn to trust in yourself people, it's important (my living standards increase when all of you get stronger mentally, I don't do this because I fucking care about you, I do this because it will impact positively in my own life) 🙏🙏

    I love the interviewer too, he is close, he is so respectful, honestly, not many interviewers would have allowed the conversation to make such a dark turn without making it clear in the thumbnail or title, as some kind of mediatic bait. Pure respect and love for his craft.
    To Bumblefoot, you are the man. To the interviewer, you are the man. You both are.
    What was another "fact or fiction" turned out as something very deep, a true lesson on how to confrontate the most dire situations...

    ron, gets better with age. so much so.
    ridiculous amounts of talent obviously but also evolved as a human. the kind of person you could say, "kids, there's a role model for life."
    maybe it took an injury to get him there, maybe not, but that's also getting old for you too. realizing new limitations and changes. so humble.
    always a pleasure to listen to you impart your experience both in guitar, tour bus etique, and life.
    if the really old ron is even better, we're in for a real treat.

Sounds similar to Yngwie who was in a coma for A WEEK(!) after a car accident. Could you imagine that ? Bumblefoot and Yngwie toured together in 2013..???. I wonder if they talked about this similarity? I'd love to be a fly on the wall in that conversation.

      the more I learn about Holdsworth, the more I understand where the "Van Halens" of the world came from...
