And yes, it is SUPER awkward to see a 52-year-old guy looking, acting and appearing as if he's Justin Bieber - and not even current Justin Bieber, but Bieber from 10-15 years ago. But that's the image he's chosen for himself, and - I suppose - props to him for going against the film composer stereotype.
I enjoy a handful of his scores, no doubt, but mostly from his early days (CHILDREN OF DUNE, PARTITION, TRANSFORMERS PRIME, STANDING UP, also some current ones like YELLOWSTONE, REDEEMING LOVE and 1883), but in general I don't connect to either his persona or his music very often. He's a fascinating, kinda bizarre character, IMO.

There was a time when I thought that Tyler was one of the most exciting young composers around. I was an instant fan when I saw "Frailty". I actually made a Brian Tyler Fan Page on an early social media platform.
His scores throughout the 00's were like a combination between Goldsmith and Goldenthal, while also having a clear voice of his own. Then in 10's he started to lose that fresh and exciting voice and began sounding more and more like a Remote Control clone. That's when I started losing interest in his music.
My girlfriend and I did travel to London for his first concert, which was quite fun, and Tyler really seemed like a charming dude.
