Josh | During this session, Josh recorded his own covers of [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fv4qyq/this_might_truly_be_the_worst_singing_to_ever/ Too Sweet by Hozier] and Dream On by Aerosmith. | ||
Firstly, Josh recorded Too Sweet on a backing track, which, due to Josh's terrible vocal abilities, had to be heavily edited with Auto-Tune for a somewhat listenable experience. The final result was heavily reliant on Auto-Tune, and very bad, with Josh still being completely out of key and having poor timing. | |||
Before he was about to cover Dream On, Josh started to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZd8y_c2x_s crash out] hard, he was screaming and crying, as he was paranoid about men being after him, who claimed that they knew which hotel and room he was at and that they were after his passport, which came about through various TTS donations, and particularly through some unknown person who found Josh's personal number and decided to call him directly to troll him. He threatened to whoever was on the phone that he will sue them and kill them, and that he "is from the Bronx". The call ended, and Josh attempted to put his phone on Airplane Mode to stop the calls interrupting as he was trying to read the lyrics of the song he was recording online, but this attempt failed, and it resulted in him getting an endless barrage of calls which made him extremely angry, threatening to "smash his phone". Mr. Based, concerned about being kicked out the studio, tried to calm him down by singing "Rock-a-bye Baby", which Josh didn't appreciate. Josh, still furious, stated that "he wanted to kill someone". | |||
After this, he calmed down enough to go and cover Dream On, which was done with no Auto-Tune effects and truly showed Josh's inabilities as a singer. Although still a little agitated, and probably self-aware of his inabilities, he was raging a lot whilst attempting to get takes down, often screaming "AGGGGHHHHH" and "I messed up!", and biting his arm. | |||
Another TTS donation came through after Josh left the vocal booth, claiming that they were going to steal his TikTok account, which Josh responded angrily. | |||
More trolls donated via TTS, and Josh became increasingly upset, saying that he "doesn't like his life", and his "life is terrible". Notably, as he was crying, Roaring Thunder was playing over the speakers. He was still concerned about people stealing his passport and his potential inability of not going on his cruise that was coming up, he started biting his arm again. He then called his grandfather explaining his concerns, and he was convinced there were people outside of the studio with kitchen knives. Meanwhile, the audio engineer was keeping very quiet on his phone with his back turned, actively trying to not get involved, although Josh was asking him for his advice.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZd8y_c2x_s</ref> | |||
During this entire time, the audio engineer was trying very hard to keep professional, and to not to burst out in laughter during when Josh was 'singing', although he did have some [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fux4ez/sound_engineer_is_really_rethinking_his_entire_job/ memorable reactions]. [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fux22f/how_much_more_time_do_we_have_as_josh_screams_and/ This] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fuw07l/audio_engineers_genuine_reaction_to_hearing_josh/ this image] basically sums up the session. | |||
Then after the session was over, as he and Mr. Based were leaving to get a taxi back to the apartment, Josh had another [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fuy3ps/post_stream_update/ memorable crashout] when he got fry bagged by a few young men who were waiting for him outside the studio, due to his drunken manic state of flailing his arms about and running after the young men, he was unintentionally hit by a cyclist which causing him to drop his phone, all the while, Mr. Based was recording the entire time, and tried to get Josh to calm down and get into a passing taxi. This is one of the first crashouts that featured Josh biting his arm and rapidly gnashing his teeth like a wild animal. | |||
