Everyone should know about Hadrien Feraud
![]()
Hello , my name is Yer i'm a woman and i'm happy to meet you
I beg you to accept my approximate English, just enough to make me understand
To Whom It May Concern ,
After reading this exciting novel ..
I signed and I decided to tell my opinion about that thread . It's a one shot .
What emerges from this pathetic thread , is the obsessive attitude from some guys and in particular Phil Smith's and Brad Johnson . There are a considerable and exaggerated number of posts , coming from both , all posts with a touch of arrogance .. that is hateful .
Hadrien has explained what happened when he was not obliged to justify anything to anyone here.
this may be why he has deleted his comment ,when he realized that he had no justifications to give to strangers as P Smith , Brad Johnson or jauqo and some others , who are not friends in any ways ..
The fact that HF minimizes the reason given by JML (playing too loud) , is not insignificant .
But only Hadrien , JML manager and JML himself knows the true reasons ...I know what i'm talking about . There are commercial ( business ) reasons that we can give to the world and other personal reasons that we keep for ourself
Just read all the press during the American tour and see the titles of some newspapers ... maybe this will help you to understand something . " play loud " was maybe only a pretext ? Think on this and you can open a brand new thread for that . this will keep you busy for some times .
Anyway, JML is the boss and he has made a decision, everyone respects that. End of the story .
Now , you , P Smith , who are you to allow you that attitude toward someone you don't know ? ? You judge him for what ? What is your personal problem ? That's incredible , are you working as a police officer , a detective ? court judge ? Scriptwriter ? Denigration, harassment , hate, destruction , gossip , lessons giver ... you remind me of a company to work in all genres, but with no specialty ... Who allows you to spend your time to bash someone who is not there ? who do you think you are to act this way ? Be a big boy and go talk to him face to face ...
P Smith , You became a manic obsessive on H Feraud and it turns to ridiculous now .If you allow me a suggestion , a good doctor could arrange that for you .
It has been brought to my attention that H F is not the only one on which you spend your days as a stalker and , unfortunately , he will not be the last ...
If to act like that gives you pleasure , that means you do not have much to do in your life .
- As they say here, the shortest jokes are always the best ...
and also : - The dogs bark and the caravan moves on ...
It seems that To be bashed on TalkBass is now almost a badge of honor ?
Hadrien should thank you for this free advertising . Thanks to Mr Feraud , you may be known on an international level now ..
Thanks to many gentlemen here , that do their best to avoid this thread become a massacre .
Good luck guys .
Hi, Yer!Hello , my name is Yer i'm a woman and i'm happy to meet you
I knoooooooooooow who you are![]()
Wait......did someone actually say HF couldn't play? I don't think that was EVER mentioned in this long drawn out thread!! Not understanding this reply. Just because someone doesn't desire to have the same facilty as another really good musician does not mean it's because that musician isn't very good. I hope you're not equating responses to mean that! I applaud any musician who has the facilty to do anything on their instrument. Like Brad, I don't have that desire. All I want is to be good at what I do and love. I have acheived that. I can play fingerstyle, slap style, palm mute style, doublestops and triads and whatever else I need 'for me'! Am I a virtuoso? Not by a long shot but I've been told I am very good and I believe I am very good. Good enough for me. Sorry for the slight derail...........carry on.I don't have the time nor the space for rent in my head to try and put this into perspective for you Brad, because you ALWAYS have the right answer.
And you disect to draw away from what the point is. So I'll simplify for you......
By saying you haven't heard that he has the ability to play, well, you need ears then buddy. That statment alone kinda lends everything else after no validity.
SUBJECTIVELY his style and music may not be your cup-o-tea, but the guy can play. JM and others wouldn't call him if he couldn't. Have you seen any of the clips of him?? If not please do...
And I'm sure the music in your head ISN'T the same in his- I hope it isn't anyway. That would be weird. In a weird non sexy Brad kinda way.
Your items 1 thru 5....whoop.....
Sorry Brad, you may indeed be a fine fine player in your own right, but really, I haven't heard your name mentioned as such around here or anywhere else. Except for rubbing guys the wrong way at times.
And you haven't heard mine mentioned either for the record.And really, you won't. I'm not that good and I know it.
I play what I hear in my head too....for some sick reason it's always Mustang Sally...
Again, stylistly his music/tone etc may not be your thing, but his technical facility/ability on the instrument is undeniable.
And really, it's not just trade show chops.
Is he the "BEST"...subjective yes/no.....thats easy.
But the guy is a monster player.
I'm outta this. It's going in circles in circles in circles in circles........

Again, did someone say HF wasn't a good player? Really?? I don't recall seeing that mentioned.

First, I haven't heard that he has the ability to play anything, period.

No, Dave... I didn't even hint at that in the slightest. But that didn't stop Mike from "reading" it. Nor did I say anything "hateful" about Hadrien... that didn't stop YER from "reading" that either. Funny how that works.
