My rant? Hmmm... f'ing penguins! That's right, penguins. The black, the white, the off kilter waddle. Don't let that throw you off. They are up to something...

You have been warned

Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

Half-assed wiring jobs in guitars. Too many players think they can wire a guitar with a 15 watt iron and lamp cord for wire. Getting into Jacksons has presented me with more bad wiring jobs than I have ever seen before and a level of quality that is way below than I have ever expected to see. I can let dings, bad setups, hell, even worn frets pass, but bad wiring irks me.

Fender guys who say Jacksons suck because they are 'hairband' guitars.

Jackson players who say Fenders suck because "because they never played a good one" (yeah, bank years of a factories reputation on those Mexican Standards at GC).

I hate playing on a bill with cover bands who think they rule. Young guys who think EVH, Clapton, RR, Page, Hendrix, ect suck cause it dont sound like Blink 182. Short guys with little man tude. Guitar players out of tune. Bass players to loud, and the 80's haters.

Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

Well I am mastering our four song bed of nails demo tomorrow at noon ...I have the Uberschall in the left channel and my "cheap dsp BS" JMP-1 doing the rest ...


I know which one I like better ....but I'll let you guys be the judge ....

I found the major "problem" with boutique amps is that they are tempermental ...meaning they are NOT consistant ...meaning they steal valuable time of practicing and writing music instead of tring to get the best chugga chugga sound out of your overpriced space shuttle...

My JMP-! sounds like a JMP-1 everday ...it's not tempermental in the slightesst...very consistant ...so it gives me the freedom to write and practice other than hours of tweaking and frustration....

Don't get me wrong ...when the Uber sounds great it is AMAZING but it's just too bad that's not everyday ....it sounds different when the weather is damp , if the moon isn't full and the tube gremlins are misbehaving!!!

The Marshall sounds like a Marshall EVERYFUCKINGDAY....and that's kick ass in my book!!!

I could go on for hours...

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I agree with the first statement, 100%. A fast player can always play slow but, a slow player can't play fast though. (Unless it's a fast player playing slow of course [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )

I was talking to this SRV freak and he told me that SRV was rumoured to using 13's tuned to Eb but, he heard they were actually 11's. This is easier to believe cuz I use 11-54s and 12-54s tuned to C#, and that is tight. SRV played 25 1/2 scale guitars which make it even harder to believe. I would like to see some one put some 13's on their guitar and tune it to Eb. I think it would be better for shooting arrows than playing.

I hate Thin Lizzy.

I hate when people try to convince me how great Thin Lizzy was.

I also hate when people who cannot tell a joke to save their lives try to imitate a comedian's stand up routine and completely fuck it up.

Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

My rants (take a seat and stay a while):

1. Rap music and lifestyle being promoted in the media. All part of the Dumbing Down of America.

2. People who think they have to stop in the street to make a right turn.

3. Reality TV - Do they think we are so damned bored that we actually want to see this crap?

4. Pawn shops that don't have a working guitar cable. It isn't like these cost a fortune. I just want to see if the pickups work!

5. Popup ads. If I ever thought of buying from your company, your annoying-assed popup has now prompted me to take my business elsewhere.

6. "Classic Rock" radio. Regardless of what your survey might say, I really and truly don't want to hear B-B-B-Bad to the Bone every freaking 20 minutes.

7. The music industry in general. "Can you sound exactly like (insert famous band here)? Originality is bad for you."

8. The glorification of Steve Vai. The only thing I've ever enjoyed by him was in Crossroads. Sorry, Vai fans, just being honest.

9. Those "Talk To Your Kids About Drugs- They'll Listen" TV commercials. Gee, I really need parental advice from a has-been actor/actress or a crack whore about this topic.

10. Spyware/Hijackware. The penalty for writing these should be 20 years in a tiny cell with Mike Tyson.

11. Fast food joints need an awning where you order and pick up! Go to your local McDonald's drive-through in a heavy rain sometime.

12. Internet tablature. "Whoa! I'm only 15, but let me show you how awesome I am by posting a 35% correct version of a riff!"

13. Nu Metal. No further comment.

14. Britney Spears/Jessica Simpson/Mandy Moore (See Number 7 above).

I'll post more as I think of them. You're welsome.

Re: My Personal Rants......... add yours..

Dave I can't play "slow" or "pretty" stuff to save my life ...

I'm always on ten ....That's what appealed to me when I was young and that's what I do now ....now I'm a mix like Kerry King , Dime , Zakk , Le Tekro , and a little Loomis thrown in the mix ...I wish I was good as him ...I'm tryin' my best..

I couldn't or nor do I ever want to play the blues ...I can appreciate it but that's not my gig!!!


we need both ...Kerry King couldn't play BB's stuff and BB couldn't play Kerry's ...sounds about right! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
