How can this guy just be so insanely cool, how is that even allowed

MF knows kung fu, tactical weapons and is a fucking musician? What else is he known to do?

I usually talk about those things -as one day when I grow up imma do dat.

Money and time and tragedy and a sense of purpose.

I like his movies and his personality seems genuinely charismatic, but god I hate the creepy celebrity worship stuff. I mean, just why?

Oh I get it, I totally do. But of all the celebrities who are actually worthy of praise, I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head who deserves it more.

But I mean it's not like I worship Keanu, he's just cool.

"I heard the bassist of the famous band Dogstar is actually also a lesser known actor that starred in a few movies"

Maybe but he is mostly known for his motorcycles

He looks like this is his only claim to fame. As if he really is just a hot bassist in a band.

He also looks fucking 25!

Got to ask: is Dogstar actually any good?

You can decide that only for yourself so give it a go. Personally, I would categorize it as inoffensive radio friendly alternative rock.

I mean, it's what you'd expect from older gen X-ers, which isn't a bad thing. That one song sounds a lot like R.E.M., and the more popular tracks on the channel have a real post-punk vibe overall. The older stuff up there reminds me of... Tom Petty? Overall, easy listening rock.

Edit: I don't know what I expected. Freakin' Keanu is in the band. Of course it's wholesome.

That's exactly what it is. I'm not sure who's jam it is, but it's hard to like, hate it.

It's for people who grew up in the 80s and 90s, but want to hear new songs.

I means, I still listen to and enjoy new music while being in my 40's, but the shit you loved in your teens just kind of gets hardwired into your soul. What I enjoyed back then was usually a bit heavier, though.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I like new music.

This is the type of music Joe Montegna was bitching about in Airheads. It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just so.... Bland?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

They're no 30 odd foot of grunt....

But for a band that has an a list celebrity in it, they're pretty good.

We gotta make sure he doesn't get his hands on fissile material...

“A thing of beauty will never fade away” said Kerry Eurodyne, of Keanu Reeves

Hey, didn't know the founder of ARCH motorcycles was also a musician.

Unfortunately he's also a liar who frequently pretends to be other (usually fictional) people.

I saw a photo of him with Baby Metal, pretty cool.

Anyone know what IEMs he's using?
