Michael Noland

Michael Noland is a classic rock fan who makes YouTube videos for his channel The Bottom Line where he opines on his favourite bands and recent controversies in the classic rock scene.
His videos fixate on the greatest bands or albums of all time, complaints about new music, problems he has with touring acts and the artists that have or haven't been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jaan Wenner, often attracts particularly fierce criticism.
== History ==
I’m Michael Noland, a singer/songwriter, musician, graphic artist, a 2ND Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo, as well as a Certified Martial Arts Teacher. But most of all I’m just a music fan in general! Music has always been central to my life and I like chasing dragons!
Noland is a multi-instrumentalist who also uses the moniker "Maij"Michael Noland on AirPlay Direct. He was part of California bands No Man's Land, Steal Head, CalicoMichael Noland on Broadjam, and Area 51.. He also played all the instruments for the original No Man's Land albumNo Man's Land...Chasing The Sound Of God on Broadjam, but was later joined by Steve Serra (rhythm guitar), Rich Carsten (drums) and Quinn Hedges (lead guitar)No Man's Land - Full Burn... Stones Thrown from a Glass House on CD Baby. Using his graphic artist skills he designed some of the artwork for the No Man's Land CDs.
Noland started making video editing tutorial videos in 2021, adding classic rock commentary videos at the beginning of 2022. He currently makes several videos a week for an audience he calls "The Tribe.
When he participates in discussions with other online classic rock commentators, such as Royce in the House, Noland has a tendency to dominate the conversation.
