The DOUBLE STANDARD

[charvelguy]

I'm sure its been done..in fact I've seen it done.

[markb]

There are these two scenarios...

One:
A woman goes onstage and plays some basic, middling lead guitar. At the end of the night she recieves a pile of empty, worthless, insincere and condescending praise by a bunch of guys who would sacrifice their fret hand pinkie just to sniff her panties once.

Two:
A guy goes onstage infront of his peers. Tough crowd, with some good players in it. He drops everyones jaws with his chops, tone and notes all night, hands everyone their ass. At the end he's earned grudging but sincere praise from his peers, players he respects.

Jealousy over the 'praise' the woman got?? Double standard?? Trade your guitar for a pair of plastic tits I guess.

jgcable apparantly was Carvin endorsed at one time.
He played on the JCF jams. I'll let him plug his own session work while I duck the shrapnel.

So he's played on something i never heard of....thought so

Too bad that the band name "Tool" is already taken - I think it'd be perfect for you.

What about Prong or the Butthole surfers?

[markb]

oooooooooh yea.

Er, oooooooooh yea what??

I'm making a general point about compliments or respect from the right people and the wrong people. I'm not actually ragging on jgcable or whoever it is you are presently flaming away with.

Good point!!!, back to the subject....

At this point there are few Female Shredders, so when any girl is playing they will get more attention for the same level of skill than a male player. if It were 50/50 then people would not be so amazed at average female players, like in Tennis where females get as much attention as males so there is not this Men Vs Women thing

[Twisteramps]

I've seen women post clips on this and other message boards, and guys line up to give them compliments. If a guy posted the same clips, they would get much fewer kudos if any.

No, this does NOT apply to every female who posts clips, but it happens a lot.

No the other guitar player likes to play lead more, not better. I like playing riffs more than soloing, if you dont believe me, then you dont believe me, thats my opinion.

I havent heard any of your solos How many albums have you sold btw?

you're half right

I have sold a "few" albums.
Regarding hearing me... I suppose I have been heard by millions technically.
I did the guitar track for Carribean Queen by Billy Ocean. I am pretty sure it went to #1 or close to it.
I was also a finalist to replace Randy Rhoads for the Speak of the Devil tour. That was pretty cool I guess. It was a long time ago.

If you want to hear some of my guitar work, check out my bands newest CD.

Hey John, does your heart still beat as one with Billy's? Did you really share the same dreams? I guess there will be no more love on the run between you and Vlover.

So you played that guitar I dont remember from that song? Cool. Finalist huh? So you must be good cause you've turned it into something big Jimmy Page. I am not impressed by rude opinions even if they have a resume or claim one.

Can we get back to the subject, or do you want to continue to hijack this thread for your personal gloating/slash promotion?

Back to the subject please

I love any jackson user, best guitars out there Seriously, ESP's are all fancy, but Jackson headstocks, playablity and style are awesome
