Anthony Fantano, also known under his moniker "The Needle Drop," is an internet critic who specializes in reviewing underground music. He also plays the role of his roommate, Cal Chuchesta, who is an embodiment of negative stereotypes surrounding music fans.
In mid-2010, a video was posted by The Rock It Out Blog—which has a close partnership with The Needle Drop—that depicted Anthony as Cal and the blog's host as Scott Stapp, lead singer of the American rock band Creed.[1] Fantano sequenced and edited the video in a purposefully amateurish way for comedic effect.
Fans claim to have seen several different videos of this nature posted on Fantano's YouTube channel. They contained the same editing style, only reportedly more exaggerated; akin to a YouTube Poop, according to some accounts. Fantano would reportedly remove the videos from his channel in a matter of hours.
All of Fantano's prank videos are lost, aside from the Scott Stapp video and a video titled "MIA- Born Free Review".
Fantano has claimed to not know about the existence of these videos. Allegedly, he has since retracted his statement, instead apologizing for the videos and claiming that his roommate made and uploaded them.
