i made my way up the escalator to take an excited look at the new charvies with great haste and anticipation. my heart was pumping more blood than usual on this day as i knew i was soon going to be holding a strathead charvel
and i was also going to get to meet some of the
people that i disgust each and everyday here. what a great day indeed, but the very first encounter left me laughing, shaking my head, and with the feeling that i needed to dole out an atomic public bashing. the kind of bashing you give when you go into a guitar shop and somebody is playing real loud while they are just hacking a great song or solo to ribbons.
here was my first encounter at NAAM-
i walk towards the charvies, and there are two kids standing in front of them who were about 14 or 15 years old. there were some fender reps with some fairly important looking people gazing upon the charvies as well. one of the kids slowly drags his index finger across the bullseye
and says pretty loudly to his other uninformed friend-
"man, this is so weak!!!, they're totally ripping off ZAKK!!!!"
the reps and the big wigs had a funny look on their faces, and the atomic fruitloop had to jump in and straighten sh1t out right away.
i told him that he must only open his mouth to change feet as zakk is "totally" ripping off
charvel. i then told them exactly this-
"nobody, and i mean nobody makes a better slingin' axe than charvel/jackson!! end of story.
when you learn how to play you will realize this."
the fender reps were pretty psyched, the kids blew out of town quick, and yours truly had to take off his leather jacket and flex my flourescent piss yellow colored charvel tattoo on my right arm. i felt great. kids these days!!!
it was great meeting everybody, racer ron,mayday,strangle-pat, doc,sid,and all. me and tekky had some lobster last night at the arches in newport beach. it was cool. next year i will have a beach bender at my house. everyone is invited.
