Jokes aside, Neil Young mounts his spring reverb on a stand drilled through the stage and bolted to the concrete floor of the arena, which is pretty committed.

I used to play with a crazy-rear end drummer who used to like getting a rise out of sound men and venue owners by carrying a battered block of 2x4 around with his rig. He'd set the kit up, then spend ages conspicuously positioning the block in front of the kick and making tiny adjustments; once he was sure everyone was watching he would pull out a hammer and a bag of nails and start whaling away pretending to nail it into the stage. He was many things (including an utterly terrible drummer who routinely forgot entire songs we had been playing for months) but dull was not in his repertoire.

I drove a couple of nails into a gym floor once to keep my bass drum from creeping.

Someone in a group just pointed out that the Sunn Model T Reissue (which is a mid-90s Fender Twin sans reverb and stuffed in a headshell) is now more expensive than the following:

Most 1970s Ampeg SVTs, Sunn models 300T and 1200S, even some Acoustic 360/361 (amp/cab) stacks.

it's pretty funny that he puts the blame equally on the one brick and mortar store that can still afford his ludicrous minimum buy-in and blueslawyers who just want to buy the same thing over and over

My dude it's because you made it an expensive pain in the rear end to get a good guitar from your company at the same time when other companies were taking advantage of big cnc advances to make playable guitars that cost $300 and extremely playable ones that cost 750-1000

That and all the dang mom-and-pop music stores next door to porn stores. Maybe I'm naive, but the two local music shops in my town are next to a garden shop and a home improvement store? Music stores should be comfortable and friendly, like Wal-Mart? Henry, lift your left hand and say a simple sentence, please tell us if you smell burnt toast

One of the only good guitar stores in the town I grew up in wasn't exactly next door to a porn store but there was one right around the corner from it.

“It’s the music stores’ fault that people are not buying our:

1. $5,000 gimmick Les Pauls with 70’s rape van graphics
2. $5,000 gimmick Les Pauls with hi-larious and ironic neon fluorescent solid color paint jobs and Floyd Rose bridges
3. “Normal“ sunburst Les Pauls people actually want that we refuse to sell for less than $6,500 in a market absolutely saturated with incredible, top-tier playing and looking guitars for between $900-$2,000 at most.

... I just don’t understand it. It must be all that gosh darn rock ‘n’ roll and jazz music driving music stores into the red light district.”

What the gently caress is wrong with that idiot.
