2022-11-5 Aaron Carter Memorial SHOW

[0:00 - 12:22] [Music]
[12:22 - 12:49] Now, for those of you that don't know what's going on, um, I just found out that somebody that I grew up listening to, that if you guys are around my age or older, you guys will know.
[12:49 - 13:07] And then, just about an hour ago, the younger brother of Backstreet Boys, Nick Carter, unfortunately, is no longer with us.
[13:07 - 13:22] He was found, at 34 years old, dead in his bathtub and his home just a few hours ago.
[13:22 - 13:36] And Aaron is, was one of the biggest reasons why I do a lot of my alternative style pop music.
[13:36 - 13:41] Listening to a lot of his stuff influenced a lot of my own stuff.
[13:41 - 13:58] And if you guys have ever heard like, um, Stormy Minds or, you know, Dead Inside, all those songs were inspired and influenced by his style and what he did.
[13:58 - 14:05] Along with some of my newer stuff that I have not released yet.
[14:05 - 14:24] And, um, there's one reason why I connected with that man on a very deep level because a lot of people don't know this, but he dealt with the same thing that I deal with, which is trolling on a major fucking level.
[14:24 - 14:35] Oh, he definitely was 100%.
[14:35 - 14:48] You know, and I even got to hang out on livestream with him in the comments a couple of times, and let me tell you, he responded to every single fucking comment that was supposed to know.
[14:48 - 15:02] Let me tell you, just that little bit that I got to talk with him while I was in the comments on one of his livestreams, he was literally the humblest and nicest person you could ever want to be around.
[15:02 - 15:14] He was super nice, super chill, he was very respectful, and he wasn't a dick.
[15:14 - 15:23] But let me tell you something, man. This shit right here is why the trolling needs to fucking stop, dude.
[15:23 - 15:31] This trolling is what, like, what happened to Aaron, that's what trolling leads to.
[15:31 - 15:40] Trolling is what almost got me killed the other night, and what unfortunately led to Aaron's death in his bathtub.
[15:40 - 15:48] Because of a fucking troll breaking in and doing some fucked up shit to him.
[15:48 - 16:03] Why do you think I'm so anti-troll? This shit right here is fucking why. Because we lose good people like that.
[16:03 - 16:12] We lose good people like Aaron, and people like me almost get shot because of this shit.
[16:12 - 16:20] Why do you think I want to take my fucking life back so goddamn bad?
[16:20 - 16:46] Why do you think I want to take my life back so fucking bad? This shit is why. This shit right here is why.
[16:46 - 17:00] You know, I tried warning a young kid earlier today who was 19 years old to change his fucking shit around.
[17:00 - 17:05] To quit going down the path that he's on because I used to be that way.
[17:05 - 17:13] I used to be that kid that thought he was a smartass. I used to be that kid that thought he was untouchable.
[17:13 - 17:38] And guess what? I learned real fucking quick that this shit gets your ass beat. Especially when you do it to the wrong goddamn person.
[17:38 - 17:48] When's it going to take for you trolls and all you guys to wake the fuck up and realize that this trolling needs to stop?
[17:48 - 17:56] When are you guys going to wake up and realize that this trolling has gone too far?
[17:56 - 18:03] Not just for people like me, but for people like Aaron that die every day because of trolls.
[18:03 - 18:15] I almost got my life took the other day. As Sarah, she fucking knows she saw the video footage.
[18:15 - 18:27] She could hear earlier when I talked to her. She could hear the fucking fear in my goddamn voice and how bad I wanted to get my life back.
[18:27 - 18:35] Sarah right here in the comments will tell you firsthand.
[18:35 - 18:43] And let me tell you something, man. Aaron was one of the biggest reasons why I started doing alternative music.
[18:43 - 19:02] My song that went huge over the years "Please Notice Me" was inspired by his music and bands like Green Day, Backstreet Boys, Simple Plan.
[19:02 - 19:16] This trolling needs to fucking stop.
[19:16 - 19:24] You know, everybody wants to know what I would do if I had enough money. If I was making money off my music, you guys want to know what the fuck I would do.
[19:24 - 19:30] Let me tell you something. There's something I've always wanted to fucking do.
[19:30 - 19:37] And you know what that is?
[19:37 - 19:55] If I had the money, I would seriously start an organization to help people that get trolled every day, to help people fight against all of this crap that they don't deserve.
[19:55 - 20:16] That is something I've always wanted to do as a music artist, is not only start up my own fucking label,
[20:16 - 20:24] but to also help people like myself that get trolled and to give them a way to get fucking help.
[20:24 - 20:42] See, y'all trolls run around fucking with lives thinking that it's funny. Well, guess what? Your trolling gets people killed.
[20:42 - 20:52] It almost got me killed, and it got Aaron killed. And God knows how many other people took their lives as a result.
[20:52 - 21:07] Why do you think I'm so anti-troll? Why do you think I can't stay in this shit?
[21:07 - 21:31] Why do you think I want my life back so goddamn bad, huh? Why do you think I fight so fucking hard to release my music, to give my fans, the people that enjoy my music, not only the music that they want, but the music that they fucking deserve.
[21:31 - 21:53] I want to tell you something. I don't do that mainstream bullshit ass music. I make music that people can fucking relate to because I am just like every one of you. I'm human.
[21:53 - 22:08] And I deserve to be treated as a human. I deserve to be able to live my life and do what I want with my life. I deserve to be able to do my music. I deserve to be able to live my goddamn life.
[22:08 - 22:15] I deserve to be able to make a living doing what I enjoy.
[22:15 - 22:32] I deserve to be able to help people through my music.
[22:32 - 22:59] So even though this isn't an AC song.
[22:59 - 23:14] I don't have to dedicate this shit on to Aaron and his whole family.
[23:14 - 23:31] Now, before I start this fucking song, I want to see every single motherfucker, all 100, all 118 of you, I want every single one of you right fucking now.
[23:31 - 23:36] Guys, yeah.
[23:36 - 24:01] Do I.
[24:01 - 24:05] Now I'm going to ask one simple request.
[24:05 - 24:19] I'll bet everybody in comments right now. I want every single one of you guys in the comments.
[24:19 - 24:45] I want all one hundred and thirty one of you in the comments right now. When this song kicks in, I want to see every last fucking one of you motherfuckers putting hashtag fuck trolls, hashtag, fuck bullying, and hashtag rest at least every quarter on my fucking mark, but not until I say Joe.
[24:45 - 24:57] Make that clear.
[24:57 - 25:18] Oh, thanks.
[25:18 - 25:45] Oh,
[25:45 - 27:59] oh,
[27:59 - 66:58] [MUSIC]
[66:58 - 67:05] And I think I speak for all your fans, Aaron, when I say this.
[67:05 - 67:13] Your music saved so many lives and helped so many people.
[67:16 - 67:23] And I can honestly say this on behalf of all your fans, that we love you and we miss you.
[67:23 - 67:27] And we will never, ever forget what you've done for us.
[67:27 - 67:36] So thank you, Aaron, for everything that you've done.
[67:39 - 67:45] 'Cause as I said, your legacy will live on through us, your fans.
[67:45 - 67:50] And just know that we will keep on channeling your music until we're dead and brown.
[67:50 - 67:52] I promise you that.
[67:52 - 67:58] So thank you, Aaron, for everything that you've done.
[67:58 - 68:02] We love you and we miss you, Aaron.
[68:02 - 68:05] Rest in peace.
[68:05 - 68:08] We fucking love you and we miss you.
[68:09 - 68:11] Thank you for everything.
[68:11 - 68:14] And thank you for being a beautiful person.
[68:14 - 68:18] And thank you for being a beacon of hope for people like myself.
[68:18 - 68:24] Rest in peace, Aaron.
[68:24 - 68:26] We fucking miss you, man.
[68:26 - 69:11] Thank you.
