as douchey and immature as he can get over social media/facebook/whatever shit talking, i just thought it would be worth mentioning that neither joey's parents or anyone else ever bought a damned thing for him. hate on his style and the bands he works with all you want...god knows i wish he'd give that bullshit up and go back to his death/grind drumming roots, but the dude has legit worked his ass off for everything he has, and still does to this day. even if he's charging dudes $40/track to run their DI's thru his POD presets, he's still at it for 16 hours a day...day in and day out, for a solid decade.
in fact, not only was he not given anything, but he assumed the debt that someone else had incurred on thousands of dollars' worth of gear for the right to use their shit, and worked his dick off to pay their bills, all the while living in the same garage he was recording in. he didn't have to sleep there, have zero social life, and live off of caffeine and taco bell for years and years, but he did - because he's a talented mother fucker who immersed himself 100% into what he had going on.
run your mouth all you want about how stupidly he might be handling this situation(and others), but please know what you're talking about when you do...
