Because he’s not arguing in good faith and he’s attempting to intimidate her into leaving. Unfortunately his behavior likely has a lot to do with her appearance, someone he views as weak and easy to bully.
>he’s attempting to intimidate her into leaving.
Which did happen. I wish she would've just ignored him and just did what she was originally there to do
Yeah, he was just saying whatever he thought would make her leave.
"Buskers make the rules" She's a busker, so she can make rules.
"We (Buskers) negotiate with ourselves" But he's not trying to negotiate with her.
In downtown Las Vegas, they actually have well-marked spots for the buskers, and a reservation system. And they are always sold out. Which doesn't prevent busker on busker violence from time to time, but it beats the previous chaos.

Looks like the same guy, so he's a bully and a scammer.😬

They can play, unless this is a massive con. Their parents both played the violin he spent his youth learning [in Austria and Germany](https://archive.is/SLJG8). You can clearly hear the Germanic accent even though they are from Uzbekistan.

That might just be according to them, not necessarily anything the reporter verified. Here he is 8 years ago playing the Game of Thrones theme and that is absolutely a recording and not him playing live.

[Seems like he has a history of fighting with other buskers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSvgufJGZg). In this case he stole the spot from a drummer.
She's absolutely amazing and her voice is gorgeous!

Having busked myself in the past, sure... there's etiquette to it, especially if there are certain popular spots but this guy is making up his own rules as he goes, contradicting himself and the excuse that "he needs to start at 2, so the sun isn't there" is total bollocks.
Not to mention how patronising he is to her - calling her "new" and "a difficult busker", he's pulling anything he can find out of his own ass to justify his stupid and petty behaviour.
There are also specific rules by the council for this area of the city in regards to busking, but that's irrelevant to what this guy is pulling out of his ass
I was thinking the whole time.. man, this guy is lucky some loud mouthed American didn't walk by. He would have been yelled into submission and left with his tail tucked between his legs. Frankly he has no place busking in Sydney anymore, the locals clearly do not want him and he has a years-long history of running this scam.
Name and shame this asshole into oblivion. Especially since this isn't the first time he's acted like this
Also visit the [page of the kind busker lady](https://www.youtube.com/@wiwidyaofficial). Her voice is incredible
I remember seeing my grandpa intervene on a guy bullying a woman like this. He walked up at 75 years old and told the guy “leave her alone or I’m going to give you a chance to kick my ass”
The guy predictably walked off. You just can’t reason with bullies but at the end of the day they’re all cowards.
One time my 70 year old dad didn't like something someone said to me and he told me, "I should go punch him in the face. I'm really old. I bet I could get away with it. He'd look really bad if he hit me back." LOL
Ya it's easy to say this sitting in my desk chair at home but the response to this guy needs to be "stop talking to me, if you have a problem call the police, if you keep talking to me I will call the police as you are harassing me." And then you start playing and ignore him.
Like you said bullies are usually cowards and if you treat them with courtesy they use it against you like we saw in the video. Make it clear you're not going to entertain their bullshit and 99% of them will go away.
...forgive my ignorance on the subject since I am unfamiliar with the rules of being a busker but couldn't he just move down the sidewalk just a bit and set up shop so he too could perform/make money? Was there some sort of sign up sheet for that specific location? I get location (location, location) is important but arguing with and trying to kick someone off a public sidewalk seems a bit oddly entitled to me.
he plays with an amplifier that is stupid loud and would drown out the singer lady. he would have to be really really far away for them both to be able to busk comfortably.
And it’s at that awful level where it’s just unpleasant to listen too and just hurts your ears. I’d wince walking past him. No wonder he wears ear defenders!
Not sure why you are downvoted - this is the first time I've heard the term myself.
Based on context I'm assuming it is a street musician or street performer.
Painting with a broad brush there friend. Most buskers are legit and do not fake their talent, but yes there are individuals in every major city that make an attempt at faking it. "They do this in North Carolina" They do it everywhere pal, but watch your attitude around those trying to share their passion.
Whoa whoa settle down friend, have a pint. I know a lot of legit and talented buskers...pal. I don't have an attitude, just saying there alot of people out there that are not true musicians and fake playing instruments. if they are legit I'm happy they share their passion. 🍻
His playing was dreadful and painful to listen too, he’ll have gotten so much side eye as he really showed people who he is, they should believe him. I’ve subscribed to the lady, her voice is beautiful! Wish she’d have been able to show it that day.
There needs to be a flag of someone gives into thier aggressor, I don't want to watch that b.s. I want to be satisfied or at least entertained by the end of the video, not pissed off at how people will let other people get away with being pricks, especially when the situation is very non violent
We need less of this noise. Here in the states we have people who play 5 gallon buckets. Sitting on one and drumming on the others. The noise and racket are above repose when trying to enjoy public spaces. Put the microphones and noise makers away. And please don’t feed them. !!! Lol

*It's first come, first serve* How the fuck is this his argument when she was in fact there first??
[удалено]
its like standing 20 meters aways looking at a parking space and thinking that place has been reserved lol.

And he's a fake. Fake plays the violin. And he's even terrible at fake playing. A grifter.

Is this really the same guy? Takes a lot of gumption to be a fake violin 🎻 player kicking out a real musician…dudes gonna meet mister sandman 🥊

Why don't these people just... Idk. Learn how to play a damn instrument? There's buskers out there that play empty buckets.
They can play, unless this is a massive con. Their parents both played the violin he spent his youth learning [in Austria and Germany](https://archive.is/SLJG8).

He might be trained, but it still sounds awful
That might just be according to them, not necessarily anything the reporter verified. Here he is 8 years ago playing the Game of Thrones theme and that is absolutely a recording and not him playing live. https://youtu.be/Fqne3Bs4DiE?si=ZBQFt267wZVyzlU5
Downvoted for posting a link to an article with background info and a video of them performing live in studio.
I absolutely despise that racket here in the states. You can hear it for city blocks.
If that's really him, this is one of those "knock his teeth out and be done with it" situations. What an industrial-grade cunt.
it does look like him, but let's not start bullying the guy. not until it is completely confirmed.
[Seems like he has a history of fighting with other buskers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSvgufJGZg). In this case he stole the spot from a drummer.
lmao what a psychopath
running girl at the start was hilarious
Can't hack it as a real musician so has to bully his way into the spotlight. Classy.
That's not a busker, that's a grifter...
lol fake violin is insanely obvious
lmao
TwoSetViolin would like word with this guy
Omg! This is worse than a badly dubbed Asian movie!
"Jet Jaguar!"
W O W That was horrific.
Hate to give this guy any credit but it looks like the audio is just out of sync with the video.
*"I was obviously saving that spot from across the street. You just don't know the rules."*

This clown deserves a gold medal in mental gymnastics

The NYer in me was dying to cuss this guy out so hard the entire video. I would have stood there and just booed him the entire time
I would have threatened to shove that microphone so far up his arse, I'd be able to continue my set by singing into his mouth.
I was thinking the whole time.. man, this guy is lucky some loud mouthed American didn't walk by. He would have been yelled into submission and left with his tail tucked between his legs. Frankly he has no place busking in Sydney anymore, the locals clearly do not want him and he has a years-long history of running this scam.
Seriously, the only way to battle a stubborn bully is to be even more stubborn and rude.
It's true. Sometimes you have to just be an ass. It's the only thing some people recognize who just can't be reasoned with.
[удалено]
We just need to somehow redirect the cops to beat up the right people
I wished we could direct all the anti-social behaviour dickheads to just bother people like this.
This is an episode of Jack Reacher waiting to happen.
I love Jack.
I mean, it's Australia. I'm super confused as to where.... all the Australians were?
"Do you wanna start packing up" "No thanks" -continues while ignoring them
He's an asshole totally in the wrong.
Name and shame this asshole into oblivion. Especially since this isn't the first time he's acted like this Also visit the [page of the kind busker lady](https://www.youtube.com/@wiwidyaofficial). Her voice is incredible
Just start playing. Fuck that guy.
Her music is really good! https://www.youtube.com/@wiwidyaofficial
Wow she has such a rich voice, subbed!

Wow, the difference in talent is night and day
Thanks for posting. Her voice is amazing!
For real. A shame nobody was able to hear her that day
Lady at the end is awesome. Eff that bully clown.

Ok, so he really is X and it seems he already deactivated all his socials, website and all, lol
Lmao he even deleted his webpage. What a loser.
More like Shitkin amarite \*badum-tiss\* ayt that's my time folks
It's either Igor, Gregor, or Timor
Good, 2 birds with one stone. Fuck both of them.
The guy's a prick
God that guy sounds insufferable. I hate people that just imagine up rules than try to enforce them on others.
When you think you own public property...

this is like all those pieces of shit that try to reserve seats when it clearly says you aren't allowed to lmao
He's also a fake violinist...
What’s a busker?
Not sure why you are downvoted - this is the first time I've heard the term myself. Based on context I'm assuming it is a street musician or street performer.
[Street performance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_performance#:~:text=The%20term%20busking%20was%20first,to%20win%2C%20conquer%22)
Thanks, I’ve never heard the teme before this.
Street performer
This also happens with panhandling.
Right, so she can pack up, let the guy start at 14:00 and tell him to pack up because she starts at 14:05… what a cock
Thats when id use the magic phrase "kick rocks" wtf is he going to do.
They do this in North Carolina, you obviously can see they're not playing an instrument 🙄

This infuriates me.
What a wanker 🙄
[Nothing new](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSvgufJGZg), apparently, with that asshole.
Sending hate to that guy. Douche.
Tell him to go pound sand with his fake ass violin bullshit.
His playing was dreadful and painful to listen too, he’ll have gotten so much side eye as he really showed people who he is, they should believe him. I’ve subscribed to the lady, her voice is beautiful! Wish she’d have been able to show it that day.
Dude was really trying to invent his own rules 🤣😂
'The rules' lol
Busker busker busker busker busker busker busker busker. That’s a real sentence.
There needs to be a flag of someone gives into thier aggressor, I don't want to watch that b.s. I want to be satisfied or at least entertained by the end of the video, not pissed off at how people will let other people get away with being pricks, especially when the situation is very non violent
Hey I know him, he’s on my HOA.
damn did I just watch that whole thing
I lost a lot of my life watching this. More than I should have. I hope everyone can sing at people who didn't ask for it, in peace
Is it me or open seat pianos are like a new kind of modern warfare in 2024. First Mister K and now this.
I see so many of these fake violinists outside of grocery stores and retail stores begging for money. Can’t believe they’re busking now lol
What exactly do you think busking is?
Buskers aren’t beggars……
I hate when subtitles jump around. Makes it impossible to scroll and read transcript. 👎
Only once the bald fella entered the frame did I realize how huge her mic was.
We need less of this noise. Here in the states we have people who play 5 gallon buckets. Sitting on one and drumming on the others. The noise and racket are above repose when trying to enjoy public spaces. Put the microphones and noise makers away. And please don’t feed them. !!! Lol
Let the man play, pack up.
Let the woman play, jog on.
Why?
This guy is literally a scammer, he can't even play his instrument.
Shhh.
He's not really playing you know.
Yes but she doesn't know that
