The JCF crowd's going downhill

[toejam]

That sounds like me.

I thought you were Yanni. :think:

[guitarsjb]

That sounds like me.

Wow, that's what I thought too!!! J/K bro..

Wth happened to the jackson crowd? I thought this was a brand devoted to fucking metal and the people who play it? Who let the emos in, and why are these pussies playing jacksons?
I've noticed a marked increase in pussification lately, and it's fucking sickening!

I'd expect this kinda crying on an emo board, but i've seen far too many people pissing and moaning about the simplest of bullshit - chrome hardware on usa production models; poor babies might have to actually tune a guitar once in a while; don't like the look of something on a guitar that's only held on with fucking screws so they'll never ever buy it in a billion years with a cherry on top; too busy to learn how to properly set up a floyd rose so they cry whenever a new model comes out that doesn't have a tuneomatic; the latest charvel usa limited color isn't black; etc.

Wtf?

floyd rose forever!!!

This thread makes for some awesome time killing whilst in class. Veeeery entertaining. Btw, I think Im gonna go home after school, take out one of my guitars, put on some Yanni, and play along while taking a break every couple of minutes to touch myself. This thread has been so inspiring.

That would be me.

I know - I was totally joking, bro.

Endrik,I felt the same when the flannel shirts that could'nt play their instuments tried to take over in the 90's..............

Well, if you start wearing Scottish kilt as a bra, it's pretty obvious you don't have any balls under there. Can't blow the bagpipe, just "blow".

Does anybody else see the irony in the thread?
Stop the bitchin and go play your fucking Jacksons.

I'm late to the party, and am all lost in this thread. :think: Tommy was a Caribbean Drag Queen? Or was that Endrick? ...Lucy, you got some 'esplainin to do! :P

That would be me.

[RattleHead]

Man...some shit really went down over the last 2 or 3 years huh?

[nhspike]

Oh, and Endrik... TOO FUNNY!

Wow I'm a day late and a dollar short to this one. I wish I had stumbled on this when the original thread was going hot and my name was being thrown around. It's nice to see people have my back and for that I say thank you. I have a punch list of things to address regarding charvel/jackson and this thread.

1) Anyone that has a problem with my change has the problem, not me. I'm much more comfortable and happy where I'm at in life. I rarely have stress anymore and I don't anger anywhere as easily

2) Thanks for the compliments on my rack, I hadn't thought anyone really noticed.

3) The people that have a problem haven't done a sliver of what I did for the charvel community. When I needed to I stepped up to the plate and made thigns happen, here and with the brand name. It's not meant as bragging, it's meant to point out that I did it because I loved the brand name, what have those people done besides whine (Huh NewC?)

4) I could probably still hang and drink with the best of them, somethings never change.

5) If you were to hang with me you would find out that I'm not much different than before other than some positive personal changes. I wear jeans and t-shirts, I don't really wear "girly things" like makeup, dresses or whatever. I'm not sure how a name change or any change of my body should bother anyone here. I always respected people until the time would come that I couldn't respect them. I still ride a Harley and I still love charvel/jackson guitars. Nothing better than a good custom shop

6) My biggest fear in telling my story was because of those people who I knew would have a problem with it. Who wants their name dragged through the mud, be harrassed, ostracized and called names ... geez and these same people call it a choice. If it is a choice why risk the daily abuse

7) The JCF and it's members have always meant a great deal to me. I did whatever I could to give those people a direct line to the people that made their guitars. The acceptance that I got from the people here went a long way in helping me be alright with things..

8) I've played charvel/jackson since 1984 and in fact I used to be a customer on occassion of Matt B's. The fact that I've been that dedicated to the brand should over ride anything I've changed here :o)

9) Even with the "change" I'm not as much of a pussy as some of the whiners that hang here ... lmao

10) Horns for president!! You kicks ass my friend

Rob Halford sang about Fire Island on the Sin After Sin album in 1977... still nobody could figure out he was gay?!? :think:

As a kid I was always conflicted with Rob and Priest. I remembered seeing the Village People with the leather man in the group and my dad going on about how those guys were fags(I know not PC but it was the 70s). When I saw Priest I thought "are these guys all gay"? The guy with the KK Downing look alike boyfriend on the back of his bike in Road Warrior didnt help either. Suffice it say I was not surprised in the least when he came out.
