In an interview with American Songwriter, Pat Monohan, lead singer from pop-rock band 'Train,' compared his experiences with recording in L.A. to Nashville.

In a short clip from the podcast interview posted by Country Chord, "Everybody in Nashville is super weird," Monahan said before critiquing, "no one has recording equipment, you just use your iPhone."

"They have recording equipment in LA," he explained further, as he jokingly added, "In Nashville you go into somebody's bedroom, and they're like moving books and sh*t."

The sometimes-laidback nature of recording in Music City seems to be what has struck Monahan the most - it seems as though he is implying his tastes for a more professional style of making music - one that he believes can often be found in Nashville's competitor for emerging stars, Los Angeles.

While this may be the opinion of many non-country artists, country singer-songwriter Ernest had some opinions of his own to share upon catching wind of the interview, as he felt the need to defend Nashville and the creative processes of its artists.

The 'Flower Shops' crooner left a string of comments firing back at Monahan, first stating "this is dumb af lol," and "Bro looks like God's first attempt at Jason Bateman." He followed this comment by hilariously adding "Bason Jateman," and even speaking to his opinion on Train as a group, "TRAIN been a*s."

He left reasoning for his somewhat empty digs at Monohan though, explaining why he disagrees with his take: "Even the people that don't have set up studio equipment in their house, have a room or closet with studio equipment in it. People that work at the bank are likely to have some form of studio in their house."

In another comment, he said "Also. Keith Urban just popped up with u in Chicago.... I guess he failed to mention to u the fact he bought and owns/kept alive ONE of the more iconic studios in Nashville..."

Ernest, in defense of Music City, wanted to speak on behalf of many of the hardworking artists that live in and frequent it for recording - something that Monohan himself can't deny either, as he concluded his point by saying "But, some of the great musicians in the world are here."
