brickswereshat posted:I just listened to Quantum Whatever and honestly, it wasn't THAT bad for it's genre. I've played with a LOT of spergy guitarists over the years, and while he DOES appear to be largely insufferable (I've never worked/played with/met him in person), as a guitarist he's... OK. Appreciated. No one is ever 100% happy about their output and we were under serious time constraints when we were recording that. I feel most sorry for the drummer as he had just replaced the guy who helped us write that and had to lay down a full take without glaring mistakes. That's a lot of pressure. At least we could kinda punch in if we poo poo the bed too bad. This was just recorded to 1/2-inch 8-track reel-to-reel. When you team up with a bassist who has the entire Geddy Lee setup and a drummer who worships Rush, it's hard to avoid sounding like Rush. The only stuff we wrote that really deviated from that prog formula was the stuff I brought myself. Thanks for the feedback. I've been working on my soloing, looking for more interesting notes. But working two jobs stocking shelves really cuts into the wood-shedding time!

man thats gross posted:i think the problem is you need another guitar indistinguishable from those you already own Look, I'm sorry I lost my poo poo last night. From my perspective, this thread began as a personal attack on me by a couple people with a grudge from another thread; and snowballed from there because I want to defend my choices. There's no need for me to lash out like I do, it's not changing hearts or minds and it's not helping my case. I do stand behind my info-dump posts, though; as I think they are pretty accurate and good for laymen and beginners alike. There is so much more to a quality instrument than the shape of the body, the shape of the headstock, or the pickup configuration. I own several RG/JEM style guitars but I promise you they all sound very different and respond in their own unique ways to your playing. And of course I bought those specific examples because I really liked the way they looked. I started buying solid-body electrics in 1987. A lot has changed in taste since then, and traditional instruments like the Fender Stratocaster, or Telecaster, or the Gibson Les Paul or SG, those guitars have become crazy expensive while the features are pretty much the same as they were in 1960. When Ibanez came along with better access to the necks, two octave necks, the five-way pickup wiring, trem routs, flat fingerboards with big frets, tilt-back headstocks; and massive floating bridges, it was a big deal. I still prefer those improvements over the traditional configurations. So like any dude who owns a ton of Strats (who also will tell you they are each unique), my choice is the Ibanez RG configuration, which was based off the Vai JEM. And yes, I really do think they are gorgeous. Please accept my apology for letting my temper take over, that was wrong and I'm sorry I allowed it to happen. I am sorry. I'll try to make up for it by finding some really hideous guitars and posting them here (I can hear it now, "Just look at your collection, Faustus!!) and I'll move forward from here. To the poster who posted Jeff Healey, I only play DR JH-10 strings, which are his signature set of DR-brand strings. I love Jeff Healey, and of course he plays better than I do. He plays better than 98% of the SRV clones out there and he has an awesome voice, too.

man thats gross posted:truth is im not trying to prove a point or change your mind or present an opinion im just loving with you Well I may be in the minority but like I said, I was here in 2000 when people hosed with each other it was stupid funny shitposts along the lines of y0u=fag0t or whatever. It got out of hand and that kind of shitposting was moved to an asylum and GBS was not the wasteland it is now. O, sure, it was full of try-hards and SJWs-lite, but it was way better than this. The whole Raison d'être of the new gibbis is just what you said, "im just loving with you" and we already had plenty of places for that. But that's just my old fart's opinion. I still laugh like a kid at "that poo poo sucks you fagot" but it used to have a hint of irony to it. Something has been lost, and I think it's for the worst. But thanks for being honest.

skander posted:What part of this do you imagine is a personal attack on you? That is a good question, but you should first go back to page one and include this: and the five quotes of that post on page one, and the other quotes on page two. I shared those pics in another gassed thread and the ridicule (deserved or not, although of course I say not) started there, and as soon as I saw "only ugly guitars itt" I felt a sinking feeling that my pics from the other thread would be not only featured heavily in this thread, but it would be CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK who would start it and someone like Ularg to follow up with my gear collection pic: Ularg posted:God this took forever and a half to find. ...all in the first two pages. So I looked at the thread and I figured I had called it correctly. I hope that answers your question.

I just feel like it's more proof that life is unfair that Jeff Healey and SRV can be dead but people still listen to Kenney Wayne Sheppard. That kid from Bloodlines was pretty good, too. But the blues revival kinda puttered out with the death of SRV. I've been meaning to check out Andy Timmons.

"The name is Dalton" Just like for me, Steve Vai will forever be the shredding douche who cut heads with Ralph Maccio in Crossroads. "Who wanna get they head cut?" Except Vai played the winning solo at the end in post-production and that's pretty cool. When I bought my JEM77FP the guys at AL&M in Raleigh started calling me "Jack Butler" and they sent me all their Ibanez endorsee posters to my parents' house when they finally took them down. P.S. - I left them in a place where they got rained on and had to throw them out.

Your hideous guitars would have been completely forgotten pretty early on if you had just shut up. Look at how many other guitars have been posted. And what is with the handle, anyway? Is that a functional thing or is it actually a stylistic choice. I really want to know.

Your hideous guitars would have been completely forgotten pretty early on if you had just shut up. Look at how many other guitars have been posted. Again, good questions. I think the most honest answer is that I saw it coming and I don't like being ridiculed. Maybe some people get off on that, but the first two pages of this thread looked like an agenda to me. The handle is a gimmick, back from a time when rock bands went nuts on stage and tricks were cool. Then times changed and the heavy music, what was left of it, was people standing stock still and not really trying, in terms of putting on a show.
